Ancient Fortune Records

"There is no bonfire this night, so it's really cold to watch the night." The servants sitting at the gate of the city complained to each other about the weather.Wang Ning is young and can handle this weather, but he just wants to drink some soju.

Wang Ning participated in the military training this year and performed extremely well. He was directly promoted by Shen Li to be a yamen servant, and now he is eating food from the county yamen.

Today is his turn to watch the night, every half an hour of night watch, he can take a short rest at the city gate.He spread a sackcloth on the ground and sat on it, so that the ground was covered with small grains of sand, which were not considered harsh.He asked the bartender not far away to make him a jug of shochu, but he didn't dare to drink too much, so he just took a few sips to get rid of the cold.

"Xiao Wang, give me some wine, this wine is really good."

Wang Ning is not a stingy person either, he poured half a bowl for the senior who begged for wine.While drinking, the man told Wang Ning what happened during the previous night patrol.

"...You have never experienced it, and you don't know that some things still scare you when you think about it. A group of wolves, because they have no food, are in a hurry, and jump into the city from the lowest part of the city wall! These animals are the smartest, know There are people in the city, they can choose a person, bite him to death, and then tear his flesh and blood away!"

Wang Ning was a little scared, and couldn't help but look at the city wall. It was pitch black outside the city wall, and the shadow of the Eucommia tree was faint, adding a bit of eerieness to it.

Seeing that Wang Ning was scared, the old yamen servant couldn't help but grinned: "What are you afraid of? Now that our city wall has been built higher, wild wolves outside the pass can't get in! You just listen to it as a story."

Wang Ning nodded and continued to listen to the story.

"I have an old man who used to work together. He was the elder brother who led me as a government servant. He was almost dragged away by wild wolves. There was a severe drought that year, and the grassland outside the pass was less grassy. The herdsmen could not survive because of the thin sheep. They couldn’t sell it, so they slaughtered it and pickled it, and kept it for their own food. The wolf couldn’t steal the sheep, and there was no food or drink on the grassland, so they found it in our small border town because of the smell of human beings.”

The old yamen servant took another sip of his wine, his eyes were a little gray, "people are not fatter than wolves, how many people died of starvation that year, tsk tsk tsk, they almost had to eat. That old brother was the tallest among the yamen servants who were watching the night at that time. The one who lived there, because there was some food at home, and the strongest among us. The wolf didn't intend to stare at him at first."

"It must have been the year when the first emperor issued an edict to sin against himself. I read in the book that there were many places where people died that year."

"Yeah, a lot of people died, don't interrupt, where did I go?" He raised his head and thought for a while, but he didn't think about it, and took another sip of wine. He smelled the wine and finally organized his words. He continued, "The wolf took a fancy to his cousin who was a yamen servant with him, maybe he chose it at random. Anyway, the wolf king rushed over and bit the man's throat directly. Fortunately, his cousin has some strength. I managed to break free, but my throat was still injured. The old brother had a good relationship with his cousin, and thought there was only one wolf, so he took out a stick to drive away the ungrateful wolf."

"That wolf still has accomplices, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape."

"Yeah, that wolf's body was made of iron. After being beaten a few times, it howled a few times, and dozens of wolves jumped down from the wall. They only focused on dealing with my old wolf when they heard the howling of the first wolf. Brother, the flesh on his body was torn to shreds by those animals, and half of his legs were lost. Those of us beat these wolves desperately with the wooden sticks in our hands, and we were more or less wounded."

When Wang Ning heard it, he felt that his legs were also aching, and he could not help but hiss.

"Then how did he escape in the end?"

"When the nearby people heard the movement, they all went out and took firewood and lit it, scaring the animals away with the fire."

Wang Ning breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I didn't expect the night watch to be so dangerous."

The old yamen servant hummed softly, "That night, we sent him to the Langzhong, it was like a life-saving."

Wang Ning asked again: "And finally, are these two seniors okay?"

"One injured his leg and couldn't walk anymore, and the other injured his throat, so now he can only communicate with people through gestures." The old yamen servant took a sip of his wine, "Don't be so sad, there were only four of us on the night watch at that time. Not bad!"

Wang Ning sighed: "This is really a sudden disaster. My leg is hurt, my throat is hurt, even though I survived, life will be miserable in the future!"

The old yamen servant nodded: "Can it not be bitter? The money for medicines has emptied the family. In order to treat them, their parents worked for the landlord's house in the disaster year. Later, the land was leased, and the food had not yet been harvested. , My elder brother’s parents died of exhaustion! But who knows, maybe they also died of starvation.”

Wang Ning suffered from starvation when he was young, and the word starving to death was the last thing he could hear.He changed the question: "Then these two people, do they still have family members to take care of them?"

"Where is there a family? If the brothers are separated, there will be no family. Alas, you don't understand. In the past, there were not many men who were as diligent as my old brother. His brothers couldn't open the pot by themselves. How can he care about him? Two people I have been a bachelor all my life! Which girl is willing to marry them? Besides, I can’t afford a bride price. But if my throat is bad, it will not affect farming. If my legs are bad, my brother will learn how to weave chicken coops, but he will live hungry and full coming."

Wang Ning said: "Build the city wall earlier, and this kind of thing will not happen. Why not repair it?"

The old yamen servant laughed: "Do you think everyone doesn't want to repair it? Do you know how much money it costs to repair a whole city wall? Are bricks and tiles really cheap? In those days, the emperor couldn't sit still, and the county magistrate at that time had the idea to Guan Yan The life and death of Huixian people is strange!"

Wang Ning only thought of the comparison between the former county magistrate and Shen county magistrate, so he couldn't help but nodded.The old county magistrate Yan is not bad, but he is not as good as magistrate Shen, and the time when he took office was very close, so the comparison is particularly memorable.

The old yamen servant drank all the wine in the bowl, "It's so refreshing, this year's food is enough, and I can finally buy wine made in this county!"

He finished drinking and patted Wang Ning on the shoulder: "You have met a good time. I really envy you at a young age and have a bright future. Follow the county magistrate and work hard! Even if you don't work as a yamen servant in the future, rely on what you have learned , and earn money to support the family.”

Wang Ning asked: "I remember that County Magistrate Shen is now helping widows, widows, lonely and handicapped people to find work? Are they still hungry and full? Didn't they register with the village chief?"

The old yamen servant smiled, maybe the wine made him feel better, he said almost cheerfully: "They thought this life would pass like this, who knew that the county magistrate would give them the opportunity to work, and now they are working in the fertilizer factory, Because they can read and write, the money they earn now is enough to take a baby boy from the relief home and raise them, and it is also very good to raise the orphan in the relief home as their own son, and at least they will not be wiped out."

Wang Ning is happy, they are suffering, but they are also lucky enough.If you work in a fertilizer factory, you don't have to worry about pension money.At least poor people like them can live a good old age.

As the New Year's Eve was approaching, Shen Li did not forget to give benefits to his workshop employees. The defective sweaters he made on weekdays were given to them for New Year's Eve or given away.It's just that it must be stated that it is flawed and not a salable product made by a workshop.

The Tibetans sent a wave of wool a few years ago, and Shen Li urged the wool products workshops to work hard to make the last batch of woolen sweaters and sweaters, and then sell them to the capital, and the price will be higher.

When the people of Yanhui heard the news, they started preparing for the New Year's goods early, so as not to get more orders as the year came to an end, and they would not even have time to buy New Year's goods.

There are many people who are willing to eat, and Shen Li also tried to produce greenhouse vegetables. The output is not much, but it is enough for everyone to eat vegetables other than cabbage, cabbage, and green vegetables in winter.

The water cellar in the winter has become an ice cellar. People in the village mark their own pork and mutton, wrap the excess meat that cannot be eaten during the New Year, hang it in the water cellar, and plan to eat it in the coming year. Add nutrition to those who plow in spring.

"This year's new farm cattle, the chief secretary and the county lieutenant went to call Lizheng, and the grain chiefs came to hold an annual meeting. The farm cattle will be distributed in the spring, and the specific matters will be arranged at the meeting."

"Yes, my lord." The chief clerk felt that he had heard wrongly, and there was an official who distributed cattle to the common people, which was really unheard of.

Seeing their shocked faces, Shen Li explained: "It's not my own money, it's just a few hundred guan from the rest of the tax. If you don't buy cattle, you won't be able to buy them in the spring." Well, use the wool they sold to Yanhui County to make blankets and sweaters, and sell them at a high price.Then he also promised to use some cheap bean paste and spiced dried tofu, as well as cotton cloth and fertilizer, in exchange for a large number of high-quality cattle in Tubo.This deal can't be lost no matter what.

Shen Li was not a profiteer, but the Tubo people themselves strongly demanded such a deal, as if Shen Li would regret it later and complete the deal in a hurry.Calling Shen Li was both funny and confusing.

In fact, Emperor Xuan was not very interested in fertilizers at the beginning. After all, he was not a farmer, and he didn't think that fertilizers could change the yield of grain, so before the autumn harvest, he didn't care much about the fertilizers made by Shen Li.However, more and more areas have used the fertilizer made by Shen Li, and the autumn harvest yield is really high, which is enough to show that Shen Li is not joking, and he really has the ability to increase food production to this point.

When the envoys from various countries heard the news, they all handed in documents asking to see Emperor Xuan, hoping that Emperor Xuan would open up the country so that they would have more traders to buy fertilizer and return to the country to increase the country's grain production.

As for the envoy who came up and asked Emperor Xuan for fertilizer prescriptions, Emperor Xuan asked the Hussars to "send" these people abroad with a half-smile. Such an ignorant envoy has stayed in Dazhaobai for so many years.He Wenxuan, is that kind of charitable character?

In order to please Emperor Xuan, they brought all the good things from their own country. For a while, the treasury was filled with rare treasures. Emperor Xuan was aware of Shen Li's power, and now he can understand it even more.

This winter, Emperor Xuan wore a high-necked black sweater from Yanhui County under his dragon robe and half gloves from Yanhui County. Li, as a reward for fertilizer and some machines for harvesting corn.
