After I resigned, I became popular in the whole universe [Quick Transmigration]

The eldest brother glanced down impatiently, then froze all over.

His eyes stared straight at the pile of mirrors, his expression was blank, and all he could think about was the scene of a prosperous future and leading his family to the pinnacle of life.

Walking over to the unhappy stall owner, he said, "Here...how much are these things, I want them all."

It's really a group of short-sighted fools to put such treasures next to those ceramic crocks.

No wonder they live in Liang Province. They don't have a good life, all because they are too stupid.

It's cheap for him...

The stall owner frowned and said, "You want it all? Do you know how much it costs? Shan, Yu. Xi, Xi""

The stall owner stared at the clothes on the eldest brother and the others: "You can't even afford a cotton coat, and you still need to buy a mirror?"

The elder brother somehow felt that he was ridiculed by these untouchables, so he endured the humiliation and said: "Of course I am rich, tell me how much!"

The stall owner bowed his head and counted the number of mirrors, and said: "There are eighteen mirrors in total, and each mirror costs fifteen Wen. The total is..."

He paused for two seconds and said, "270 Wen."

The two brothers who were the only ones present who knew how to count were stunned.

The younger brother used his fingers to pull it back and forth, and after a long time he said with a look of surprise: "It's really 270 characters!!"

The eldest brother also looked at the old man with an old face and nothing special in front of him with a complicated expression, and said, "You are good at arithmetic."

The stall owner's tone was casual: "Oh, it's okay, kids of this age can do it."

This winter, the officials taught them a lot of knowledge for free. They had nothing to do at home and learned a lot of useful things with their children.

The elder brother who was choked to the point of speechlessness: "..."

The abnormal sense of dislocation in his heart became more and more obvious, and the young man didn't dare to delay indiscriminately.Before he could ask any extra words, he carefully wrapped the mirrors with a cloth, and then threw enough coins to the stall owner.

The stall owner didn't dislike the rude behavior of this group of people. After counting the coins, he actively promoted them: "You are so interested in mirrors, so let's see if you like them?"

The eldest brother wanted to leave quickly, so he hurried back to the capital, turned around without saying a word, and wanted to leave.

On the contrary, the little brother who found everything fresh ran over to take a look, picked it up and played with it: "Uncle, what is this?"

"This is a counting card," the uncle said kindly, knowing that this group of people didn't even learn the most basic mathematics well: "As long as you have this, counting will be easy in the future."

The elder brother who was about to leave paused.

He had seen the old man's arithmetic ability with his own eyes, and it was really powerful.

If it is really what he said, it is not impossible to take a look.

His eyes touched the small card in his younger brother's hand, and the elder brother's eyes widened, and he reached out and snatched it away.

The younger brother who was robbed one after another: "..."

The eldest brother didn't care what his younger brother thought, his fingers touched the smooth and smooth paper, feeling its thickness.I flipped through the words printed on it again. The handwriting was clear and the size was the same. No matter which page I turned to, the shape was exactly the same.

Looking at the size of the card again, and the smooth and thick edges that are cut without cutting hands, the more I look at it, the more I feel that this little thing is full of unusualness everywhere.I couldn't help complaining: "It's such a waste of good paper to cut it into such a small shape casually!"

The old man couldn't understand the idioms, he looked blank, and explained in a very simple way: "It's easier to remember if you cut it small."

Only then did the elder brother have the time to look at the content on the card, and found that there were lines of regular words written on it, such as seven seven 49, nine nine 81 and so on.

This……

So just now the old man calculated eighteen by fifteen, and it was also thanks to this card?

In this way, the formulas are organized and memorized silently. In the future, when encountering calculations, you really don’t need to take out the abacus, just calculate silently in your heart...

The young man who was born in a merchant's family immediately saw the benefits behind this little card. No matter the paper, font or the knowledge contained in it, these cards were enough to sell these cards for a high price in some wealthy families.

"I bought it for how much it cost."

The old man stared, never expecting that this group of guys who can't even afford to wear cotton cloth would be so generous, and said: "One three Wen, wait for me to count how many there are for you."

The eldest brother waited patiently. While waiting, he was interested in observing other things on the stall. This was amazing. He almost didn't choke on the saliva in his throat. He blushed and asked with a thick neck: "What is this?"

The old man glanced back and said casually, "Oh, it's a glass."

The eldest brother was short of breath, and his neck was red and thick: "Glass? Isn't this Liuli?"

"Glass? Isn't that very expensive? No, mine is just glass." The old man explained solemnly.

The eldest brother felt a little regretful after hearing this, and then found that the so-called glass actually looked clearer and brighter than the priceless colored glaze, and the color was bright and clean without any extra impurities.

Apart from being cheap enough to be sold on small stalls at will, there are no disadvantages.

He swallowed his saliva, and said the words that the old man was not surprised at all: "I want as many glasses as there are."

The old man nodded kindly: "No problem!"

After watching for a long time, passers-by who thought it was robbery by thieves looked at them curiously.

"It doesn't look poor, why did you almost steal something?"

"It looks like it should be a refugee... But why do refugees have so much money?"

"Why do you have to buy so many cups and mirrors? Is he in need of these?"

The little boy who was following him wanted to ask a long time ago, but couldn't help but ask, "Why do you say we are refugees?"

How many times have I said this!

People around looked at each other in blank dismay, and said after a while, "Because you are wearing linen clothes."

"If you still wear this clothes now, you must be refugees from outside."

The little boy felt a little ashamed for no reason, and he said, "My cloth is soft and very good!"

As a son of a merchant, he has been exposed to the quality of cloth on the market since he was a child.Except for some high-grade fabrics, such as silk and satin, which cannot be used at will, he is already wearing the best grade.

Rather than saying that he is poorly dressed, it is better to say that this group of people are dressed too well!

The clothes not only looked light and soft, without any cumbersome feeling, but also the dyeing process was exceptionally good.Not to mention the variety of colors, the color is also exceptionally bright. Even if this craftsmanship is taken to the capital, it will definitely not be bad!

What's more, there are precious glazed mirrors and glass cups that are casually placed on the stalls...

Is this really a remote province that is rumored to be starving and deserted?Are they really the ones who were sacrificed and abandoned instead of the people living in the capital?

It is said that His Majesty the Emperor and the ministers praised the glazed mirror so much that even the emperor was proud of being able to use the glazed mirror, but any old man who set up a stall here can sell mirrors for a few cents each...

The more the little boy thought about it, the more absurd he felt. He pinched his own face hard and found it hurt. He really wasn't dreaming.

But this is not a dream, what is it?

The people around saw the strange expressions of the children, and saw that although they were not well dressed, they were all very strong and strong, so they began to be puzzled.

"Where did you guys come from?"

The eldest brother hesitated subconsciously, and the child said bluntly: "We are from Beicheng! Beicheng is just below the capital! We are from the capital!"

The people around were in an uproar.

This is the legendary person who came out from the capital!

But there was another child onlookers who was also straightforward: "But you are wearing linen clothes. Mother said that linen is used to wipe the table, and you can't sleep with it."

The little boy blushed suddenly with shame, and stammered: "Of course there are better clothes, but I didn't wear them!"

The people around suddenly realized, and whispered: "I said so."

"How can people in the capital dress worse than us?"

"It must be wearing silk and satin like the official."

The elder brother standing by the side has already seen that something is wrong.

In the beginning, the Liulijing was brought from Liang Province by the tax collector and dedicated to His Majesty, so it was normal for the Liulijing to appear in Liang Province again, but the normality was a little too much.

It's so cheap that everyone has one.

Also, everyone said that there were many natural disasters in Liang Province and other places, His Majesty had completely abandoned this place, and let the people here die, without even planning to relieve the disaster.

Everyone thought that under such circumstances, people in Liang Province and other places would definitely starve to death, but they did not die, but lived a very good life. Not only did they make glass mirror glasses, but they also solved the food problem. A better and cheaper cloth was found instead of sackcloth.

Even the emperor didn't know about it, otherwise, how could the emperor love the mirror so much, and how could the officials write so many articles touting the mirror.

If they knew that any ordinary person could buy this thing from the side of the road, they would be ashamed to death.

The young man suddenly felt as if he had discovered some big secret, and this secret might even lead to great turmoil between the court and Liang Province and other places.

The imperial court will not allow these things that can obtain huge benefits to be lost to the people like this, they will become the property of the powerful, and the untouchables have no right to touch them at all.

Even if these things were originally made by the untouchables.

Thinking of this, the young man realized that he was in a very wonderful situation at the moment.

On the one hand, he was able to buy a large amount of treasures and sell them to the capital, gaining a lot of wealth; on the other hand, he was able to convey the news to the imperial court, making a huge contribution.

With a happy smile on the young man's face, he said to the old man in front of him, "What good things do you have here?"

The old man looked confused: "Good stuff? Nothing good, I'm just a stall."

youth:"……"

Old man: "It's you, you are from the capital, you should have a lot of treasures on you, that's great!"

When the people around heard this, they all showed envious expressions on their faces.

The little brother didn't know why, so he proudly puffed up his chest when he saw this, and his clear and clear child's voice was particularly loud: "Of course, we brought many treasures from the capital! We are here to do business this time!"

The people of Liang Province let out a "wow" and exclaimed, "It turned out to be a caravan from the capital!"

"There must be a lot of good things in it that we can't even think of..."

The younger brother became more and more complacent as he listened to it, with a proud look on his face, "If you want to buy it, it's not impossible! It's just that the price is a bit high! You have to be mentally prepared!"

Everyone said without confidence: "How expensive is it? Does it cost a lot of taels of silver?"

"Of course!" the little boy said, "That's something only the nobles in the capital can use!"

Everyone suddenly didn't even dare to come up with ideas they wanted to see.

They didn't notice that when they were talking to the little boy, the young man stood aside, looking at the expressions on the goods on the stall.It's as if they are a hundred times more exquisite than the utensils used by the dignitaries in the capital, regardless of their quality or appearance.

If the things in their hands are really taken out and demanded for several taels of silver, then the people in the capital will lose all their faces.

With the same expression as the young man, there are servants accompanying him.

Everyone's cheeks were hot, and they wanted to shut the mouth of the boy who was jumping out with his triumphant little mouth. The young man took the goods from the old man and dragged the little guy to the carriage behind him.

"Brother, are we going to sell things too? Are we also setting up a stall? Or renting a store?" The little boy was so flattered that he was about to go to heaven, and his tone was extraordinarily cheerful.

The young man was so angry that he slapped the child on the head, "What kind of shop do you rent? No one wants the things we bring for free!"

The child was dumbfounded: "Ah? Brother, didn't you say—"

"Okay!" The young man felt his cheeks burning hot, and was so ashamed by his previous arrogance that he was speechless.

He actually felt that the people here would be willing to serve him as his slaves for just a piece of bread, or even sell their own bodies. This, this, this...

The young man covered his face with his hands, unable to recover for a while.

The servant at the side said: "Master, where do we put these things? The carriage is already full."

"Throw away all the things we brought, and throw them away so that no one can see them," the young man ordered.

"What about the things you bought this time?"

"Just put it in the car."

"But this is a glazed mirror..."

"Okay, the glazed mirror that is worth thousands of dollars is placed in the capital. Who cares to grab it here? There are a lot of them on the street stalls." Speaking of this, the young man felt more and more hot on his face. What is it all about? Son!

"Tell two people to stand by the car and watch over it," the young man ordered.

"Okay sir."

The little boy stared at his brother in disbelief.

Qingqing coughed and said to his younger brother: "Okay, elder brother was also deceived, and only after I came here did I realize that this place is like this."

The boy asked: "What is it like? Are we really poorer than the people in this remote village?"

The young man was embarrassed: "This... elder brother doesn't know either."

Let's talk about being poor, it seems to be very poor, after all, apart from the emperor, even empresses and concubines can't afford the glazed mirror.

It's not poor, and it is indeed not poor. They can easily spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but the people of Liang Province can't.

"This place is really evil..." The young man murmured to himself.

It seems that it is better to find someone to ask about it.

……

"A caravan from the capital is coming."

The sheriff received the report from his subordinates and hurriedly found the master of ceremonies.

"Caravan?" The master of ceremonies raised his eyebrows slightly, "What did they do here?"

"I bought a bunch of things here, but I didn't sell any of my own goods." The sheriff's expression seemed to be resentful and triumphant: "I asked them for help in times of crisis, and they refused to sell any of them. The good thing is that you spend money more ruthlessly than anyone else."

The master of ceremonies was silent for a moment, and then said: "The news won't spread so fast. If it's really a merchant, they can't come here in such a timely manner."

After the autumn harvest, colored glaze and other things began to enter the market, and then came the severe winter.No one would rush to the capital during that season. There is no edible food or water on the road, but staying in the city has a lot of work to do and a lot of delicious food to eat.

If it was changed to other places, it might be necessary to plant spies to inform the people, but in Liang Province, an abandoned land like this, no one cares about it.

The county guard's words froze, remembering that Liang Sheng hadn't encountered a caravan from the capital for at least ten years.

Taxes that have become more and more difficult to pay in the past few years have made the capital understand how difficult the situation here is. People don't even have food to eat, so who would buy good things from the capital.Merchants don't want to take the risk of being robbed for the meager profits at all-it is too difficult for people here to live and eat.

Therefore, this group of so-called merchants did not come to buy things in the first place, but to... buy people.

They don't lend a helping hand when the people are still alive, they wait until everyone can't live any longer, and then they come to add insult to injury, giving a so-called way out...

The sheriff's eyes were red with anger, "Bastard, bastard!"

The master of ceremonies got up and brought a cup of tea to the sheriff, and put it in front of him: "My lord, calm down."

The sheriff picked up the tea bowl and drank a few mouthfuls forcefully, swallowing the breath in his heart, "You just said that they came in time..."

"Qiu Dynasty's good fortune is still there, maybe I want to remind the court that there are many good things here, so I let the caravan discover them so quickly." The emcee's voice was cold: "Otherwise, wait until the goods gradually come from us bit by bit. It will take at least a few more months to live in the capital."

The county guard's expression was distorted: "Qiu Chao's luck... If Qiu Chao's luck really wants to make the people feel better, it should protect us from being discovered by the dog emperor!"

"Luck is a sword. It can save people or kill people. It all depends on the plan of the person holding the sword." The master of ceremonies said calmly, "It's useless to talk too much. We want to develop, and one day we will be able to face Qiu Chao. Let's do it in advance." Get ready."

The sheriff let out a sigh of relief, and his mood stabilized, "How do you deal with this group of businessmen?"

The master of ceremonies calmed down and said, "It's better to block it than to block it. Since you can't stop the leak of the news, just let it out."

In the season of spring, a shop quietly opened on the bustling avenue of the capital.

The store had just opened, and the young masters and wives who came out to enjoy the scenery were inadvertently attracted by the sudden flash of light in the store.Taking a closer look, I found that it turned out to be a crystal clear small cup on the shelf, emitting colorful light in the sun, and walked over involuntarily.

After only half an hour, passers-by who came and went noticed the crowds in the shop, and were amazed at what this shop sold and why it was so loved by the well-informed nobles in the capital.

Then, a servant boy from the household department who finally bought a glazed cup couldn't put it down, fondled the slightly cold cup in his hand, and shouted to the servants around him: "I want to dedicate this treasure to my father!"

Another woman with a red face walked out of the crowded shop under the protection of the servants, holding a hand mirror wrapped in silver silk in her hand, staring obsessively at her own face in the mirror, and gently touching her face with her fingers cheek.

The servant girl at the side said enviously: "Madam, this is a treasure that only His Majesty can enjoy!"

"Congratulations madam!"

Madam heard the words, her face was quite complacent, but after looking at it for a while, she sighed again: "I can't keep this kind of treasure. I'd better decorate it carefully and give it to the noble concubine in the palace, she will definitely like it. "

The maids said wittily, "My Madam, the concubine will be delighted to receive your gift."

When the onlookers heard the words, they were all in an uproar.

There are even things that the servant of the household department and the noble concubines in the palace like. How many treasures are hidden in this shop!

The news of countless treasures gathered in the store was not kept secret for long, and in just one day, most of the capital city heard about it.

A treasure that was highly respected by countless officials, even His Majesty the Emperor, appeared in a small shop in the capital.

And in that shop, there are not only glazed mirrors, but also countless treasures that are as beautiful as glazed mirrors, and even more fascinating than them.

A minister wrote a letter to report the matter, as if describing the shop as a palace moved from the fairy world.The emperor was quite curious about this, and ordered the store owner to bring the treasures into the palace for an audience. Everyone envied the store owner for such good luck.

Of course, there are also a small group of people who, in turn, secretly envy the emperor.

Sure enough, only the most powerful person in the world can enjoy so many treasures to himself.

How is it like them, if you want to buy something, you have to limit it, and you have to grab it from other customers, and even if you grab it, you can't keep it, so you have to offer it sensible.

The emperor and a group of ministers saw the rows of treasures carefully arranged on the table and covered with layers of soft blankets in the hall.

Even the emperor, who was used to seeing all kinds of rare treasures, was somewhat dazzled when he saw this row of things.

The young man who was standing in front of the stall picking goods before stood obediently aside, his nervous heart beating wildly, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to step forward to answer questions when needed.

No one knew that these things that the emperors and ministers regarded as treasures were carefully placed on the side of the road and sold by the untouchables they looked down on not long ago, and they cost only a few cents each.

The young man lowered his head, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the fascinated expressions of the adults in charge of the Qiu Dynasty.They kept praising the treasures in front of them, saying that only such treasures could be worthy of their noble majesty... Hearing this, anyway, he absolutely dare not take the initiative to tell the truth.

The emperor stepped forward and picked up a glass.

The body of the cup is smooth and delicate, and the touch is extremely comfortable, as if the white porcelain polished by the most advanced craftsman, and it is more transparent than white porcelain.I can fully imagine pouring clear wine into it, how beautiful the water glass should be under the light of the candlelight.

Gently putting down the glass cup, the emperor reached out and touched the stack of papers on the next table.

These papers are smoother and whiter than the existing rice paper, thick and light to the touch, without the lingering grassy smell.The fingertips rubbed the surface, as if stroking a piece of silk and satin delicately, it was even more perfect than the paper used in the palace.

And using this kind of paper to make books is even more extravagant. There are two-finger-wide counting formulas, the most basic word recognition tutorials, and all kinds of common sense to teach people the enlightenment of life...

Has Qiu Chao ever had such simple and easy-to-understand books? The students only memorized the Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Classic. The picture told everyone to wash their hands before meals and after going to the toilet, and to boil the water before drinking.

Not to mention that the text on the book is as if someone wrote it and measured it with a ruler at the same time, the size and spacing are exactly the same.Moreover, the shape and details of the same text on different pages are all exactly the same. Is this really something that humans can write?

The more the emperor looked at it, the more incredible he became.

He said to the young man, "Where did you get these things?"

The young man raised his head cautiously, his eyes caught the emperor's face inadvertently, and he was slightly taken aback.

His Majesty the Emperor, who has ruled the Autumn Dynasty for more than 20 years, is surprisingly young and handsome, without any signs of aging.

With a strong body and a straight spine, there is an indescribable sense of majesty all over his body, and his handsome appearance is like a god, which makes people feel awe unconsciously.There is only one pair of eyes, which are old, gloomy, and inadvertently revealing the coldness, which is incompatible with the appearance.

The young man's body turned cold, and he didn't dare to look at it any more. He quickly bowed and replied, "Return to Your Majesty, this is a treasure discovered and brought back by Caomin from Liang Province and other places..."
