Wear it together with a Taoist [Quick Transmigration]

"What? You have to pay just to enter your place?!"

"It's not a payment, it's just a deposit. More refunds and less compensation."

"Then why did those people in front go in directly?!"

"He already paid the full deposit yesterday, didn't you see the sign just shown?"

"You just pay it when you say it? This is a bright world, and you haven't said anything about shopping. You have to pay when you enter the door. How can there be such a reason?"

"I said you are looking for trouble on purpose, right?"

"You say I'm looking for trouble on purpose? I see you... hey? What are you doing? Why don't you let me go! You..."

"This person is picking quarrels and causing trouble! He intends to destroy the market! Send Master Duan to him!"

"Yes!"

Duan Shaobo: "There's no need for interrogation, first hang them on the poles outside for two days, and then ask their family members to redeem them with money."

In the earliest days, the soldiers that Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo wanted were not for nothing.These gatekeepers are all young generals at the first level of the captain, and their status is much higher than that of these big businessmen. Seeing the good horses and cattle that Duan Shaobo promised them, they are honest and honest. If someone stabs someone, these people don't mind copying knives at all!

There is an empty field between the livestock market and the grocery market, and many poles have been erected. Before, many people were curious about what this was for, but now everyone understands.The businessman who stood behind and wanted to follow to find trouble immediately corrected his attitude. He either simply retreated to his tent and waited for the instructions from the backer, or paid a deposit in a proper manner to buy cattle, sheep and horses. .

These big businessmen who sat down to buy things quickly discovered that, in fact... this is pretty good.

Livestock in the public market are more expensive than those outside, but that refers to special-grade and high-grade livestock, mid-grade is only a little more expensive, and low-grade and unqualified are very cheap.The slightly more expensive mid-level ones with the largest quantity are able to eliminate the injured and sick livestock to the maximum extent. Speaking of it, if it is compared with the cost of Bao Yuanquan's purchase, it is not much different.

Those Yanrong people are not fools for special and superior livestock. They were originally sold as breeding stock, and the price was similar.

What's more, sitting in this auction house, someone brings tea, water, melon seeds, braised pork and snacks for a little money, it's much more comfortable than they are doing outside.

After getting the bank notes, some people naturally took advantage of the opportunity to go to the grocery market to have a look.

"I'm optimistic about the goods here, and they can be delivered directly to the designated place within the six states, without having to ship them from here?!" The things are not new to them, but this method of transportation is surprising.

"Yes, but you have to add the corresponding payment. Different items and different distances require different payment."

"Oh... that's as it should be." The businessman nodded, and after asking the price, even if there were some things he didn't want to buy, he began to think about it at this time, but they were not sure whether the double yellow car Can Ma Xing really deliver things?

In addition, in this grocery market, there are really some things that they also intend to buy.

The only uncomfortable thing is that they were forced to come in, but as businessmen... being able to bend and stretch, making money is the most important thing!

As a result, more and more big businessmen came into the auction house.

At the beginning of November, the mutual market of this year finally came to an end.

There has always been a lack of farm cattle in the north. After this year's mutual market, the price of farm cattle... has not dropped, but has risen a little.Because in the past, there was a price but no market, but now that it is available, everyone is scrambling to buy it.For those who have accumulated, one cow is not too little, and two cows are not too much. Under the competition, the price will go up instead.

Qiyang's mutual rivalry is not over, especially this year's mutual market is over, so there will be next year!

The ministers said: Your Majesty, it's time to change.

Taizong replied: This year was very successful, which means that the people in charge are all good. What should I change?

The ministers are also smart people, so naturally they couldn't explain the reason clearly, let alone said that the three of them failed this year, but instead said: Your Majesty, these three gentlemen are all meritorious ministers, and they should be rewarded.

Taizong: You are right in saying that, it should be rewarded.

Ministers: Then call them back?

Taizong: Then send some gold and silver over there.

Ministers: ...Your Majesty!Those who are meritorious should be promoted!What do you pay for some gold and silver? !

Taizong: Because I still have to use them, their position is key, it is not good to give them a higher position.

Ministers: After all, you still don’t want them to come back? !no!Must be promoted!Otherwise, wouldn't it make the heroes feel cold? !

"My dear friends, it seems that the mutual market is no problem, how about... how about we find another place to open the mutual market?"

All the ministers secretly said: So you are waiting here... This is a big profit, do you want to make more money?

But at the same time, they were all moved. The place in Huzhou is actually not very good. It is the most northwestern state, and it is not adjacent to the most fertile pastures. Ministry, there are not many other tribes.It would be better if there was another exchange market....

Taizong threw out another big move: "In addition... next year, the imperial court intends to open three new salt farms. Aiqings will discuss and discuss it. Who will be in charge?"

Duan Shaobo's new method of sun-drying salt was directly sent up. Taizong could have found someone privately by himself, and the income from the saltworks would allow him to eat alone for at least two years.But... Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo really made him a lot of money this time!Especially the dozens of good horses that have never been gelded, all of them can be used as studs.He was happy, but the courtiers were jealous. He had to protect the two little courtiers, so let's take out the salt field and eat together.

The eyes of all the ministers brightened. Although the gentlemen are ashamed of their words, the gentlemen of the Wei Dynasty are not so hypocritical. Most of them are raising a large family with hundreds of people. No one can make money. will be too little.

Moreover, by opening the second mutual market, Emperor Taizong already expressed that he wanted to share profits, and he took out the salt field. Everyone knew that this was the intention of appeasement and protection.

All the ministers: Those two little guys are too flattering, but the money-making method they came up with is really good, after all, they come from a poor family and have never seen the big world.Forget it, keep them to make money.

When the court meeting was over, Taizong ordered a few more close officials, those loyal officials who had been standing firmly by his side and helping him defend his property!In addition to the new salt, an additional sweetness has to be given to these loyal people-papermaking.

Making paper is not only a way to make money, but also a great merit.Even if they were from the Wu Xun family, they would pat their chests and promise to do a good job. Everyone also attached great importance to the pollution that Taizong said.

Huaxia's farming-oriented thinking is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the land is the first, and it is the same for the aristocratic family.Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo understood this very well when they wrote the memorial, so don't talk about high-level issues such as environmental pollution, just say that it will damage the land and affect the harvest.Sure enough, all the ministers attached great importance to this matter. Few people asked about the process of making paper, but asked about how to control the pollution later. Taizong was so impatient that he simply threw the memorial out and let them deal with it by themselves. Look at the research.

All the ministers left contentedly, and Taizong happily went back to the harem: Oh, why don't you ask Zitong to ride a horse someday?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty said, please go back to your bedroom and stay here by yourself today." The eldest mother of Fengyi Palace lowered her head, although it was not the first time she said similar words to Taizong, but every time she was still terrified.

Taizong's eyes widened: "What?!"

The eldest mother lowered her head: "Your Majesty said... Your Majesty... will suddenly laugh out loud these few nights, it's too creepy, she can't sleep well..."

Taizong: "..."

Duan Shaobo [Gu Yonglin is in charge of the mutual market in Pingzhou? ! 】

Gu Cijiu [Well, the news from the people in the car dealership just came. 】

Duan Shaobo [This... I always feel that there is going to be big trouble. 】

It's actually simple to trade with the Yanrong people, just grasp two words, one is flat and the other is prestige.Equality means fairness, no matter Yanrong people or Wei people, they must follow the rules and treat everyone equally.Prestige means deterrence, not to mention the Yanrong people, who belong to the evil wolf, laugh with you today, but once they feel that you are weak, they will turn their heads and bite you.But the merchants from the Great Wei Dynasty who came to do business are not cheap. These people use all means to make money. When they find that you are weak, they will use soft knives soaked in poison to cut off your flesh one by one.

Gu Yonglin has learned a lot of distorted benevolence and righteousness from his great Confucian brother, let him do this?

Gu Cijiu [Gu Yonglin dared to accept it, so he probably thought of me. Although they preached benevolence and righteousness, the temperament of these two people actually did not believe in their own theories. goods. 】

These two old sages, Confucius and Mencius, were true gentlemen, and their words and deeds were consistent.But the brothers of the Gu family are not. Gu Yongnian talks about benevolence and righteousness, that women should live in the boudoir and keep chastity, but in fact he is not clear with his widow and sister-in-law, and it is not clear that his sister-in-law gave birth to a "posthumous child"— —No one knows the plot of the original plot of these things.

Duan Shaobo [So... this person still has some abilities? 】

Gu Cijiu【Probably? 】

The winter of this year was quite normal at the beginning, and the two heavy snowfalls made the farmers happy. Does the auspicious snow herald a good year?But when the third snowfall started, it was not normal-it didn't stop with this snow!Even if the kangs in the northern states have been set up long ago, the house can't support it.

Especially the thatched houses of many people, the snow on the roof is not cleared in time, and the snow on the roof collapses at night.

The county government offices in various places were busy, and some big families also sent servants to follow the guards to save people everywhere.Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, medicine halls, and even yamen are full of people affected by the disaster.

Moreover, the winter of this year was exceptionally long. It was already the beginning of March, and there was a sudden cold spring and a moderate snowfall, which made some people who were anxious to plant the seedlings early almost cry to death.Thanks to the fact that every household has accumulated some savings in the past two years, otherwise there will be people fleeing famine.

"There are people who came to the exchange market so early?!" Gu Cijiu was planting seedlings in the public fields with the farm laborers in the field that day, and a courier with feathers on his back sent an urgent message. When he opened it, it turned out to be the He rushed to Sanshan Pass as soon as possible to be in charge of the mutual market. As for his Liangshan County, the magistrate of Ningshui County was temporarily in charge.

Isn't that to make Duan Shaobo responsible?Gu Cijiu was naturally relieved.

Immediately, he packed up two things casually and followed suit.The Yanrong people at Sanshan Pass are not so much coming to the market as they are here for refuge.

There was a snow disaster here in Huzhou, and the grasslands of the Yanrong people were only snowier than the snow in Huzhou!And they are unobstructed, if they hadn't made a deal with Dawei last year, the disaster situation would only be more severe.

Gu Cijiu didn't care what they did here, anyway, these Yanrong people also understood the rules, just like last year's mutual market, occupying land and setting up camps for cattle and sheep, and buying fodder from Dawei people and also giving them to cattle and sheep, even if the cattle and sheep happen to be the thinnest now At that time, those who could be rated as special grades could only be judged on the basis of one or even one, which made them feel a little bit pained. Fortunately, Gu Cijiu didn't open his mouth, and it was still within their acceptable range.

In April, Duan Shaobo and Mr. Jin also came, and the mutual market officially started.

In mid-May, an urgent order came to send Duan Shaobo and Mr. Jin to Pingzhou.The two of them talked about Gu Yonglin's matter at the beginning, but then they were so busy that they couldn't care about it at all.It was only when Duan Shaobo arrived in Pingzhou that he figured things out.

Not long after the Yanrong people went to Huzhou to take refuge, some Yanrong people also went to Pingzhou. They also knew that there would be a mutual market there. Indeed, Gu Yonglin was also there, and the local prefect handed over the matter to Gu Yonglin and others. .

Gu Cijiu wanted money to his death, but Gu Yonglin was much more generous. Whether it was camp or fodder, he provided them free of charge.Later, spring came, the weather got warmer, and the land was green. The Yanrong people still asked Gu Yonglin for fodder, saying that there were too many livestock and not enough fodder, and Gu Yonglin also gave it.

It is clear that Gu Yonglin has kept the Yanrong people and their livestock for nothing for a long time, but the Yanrong people do not like Gu Yonglin at all, because in terms of transactions, Gu Yonglin did not set up a public market, they are all ordinary private markets. People on both sides traded on their own, and if there was a conflict, he tended to prefer the merchants of Wei.Although he wouldn't point out that black is white, but if there is a slight deviation in the transaction, the loss will be huge.

The merchants of Wei were satisfied, but for the Yanrong people who had just suffered from the snow disaster, this was just making things worse.Later, the Yanrong people came out and killed the merchants of the Great Wei, robbed the money and materials and ran away.

If the prefect of Pingzhou didn't see that something was wrong, he sent troops over in time and took over the affairs of the mutual market, I'm afraid things would get worse and worse.

Duan Shaobo [Senior brother, be careful, when I first came, I stopped saying that there were Yanrong people going to Huzhou to rob the merchants. 】

Gu Cijiu [Well, I will be vigilant. 】

However, until July, although there were more and more Yanrong people in the mutual market in Huzhou, and there were indeed occasional conflicts, there were no vicious incidents.

Gu Cijiu rode out on a horse to inspect this day, and suddenly saw something and jumped off the horse.

"My lord?" The soldiers followed behind, thinking that something had happened, but when they rushed to the front, they found Gu Cijiu squatting on the ground, staring at a small flower in a daze.

Gu Cijiu raised his hand and tapped this white wild flower. Except for surprise, there was only surprise—this is cotton! ! !

But counting the time, it is true that cotton, as a necessary skill point in the textile industry in the original plot, appeared around this time period.It's just that in the original plot, it was collected by the son of luck, but now... I don't know where the passing livestock ate the cotton and excreted it here.

Is there wild cotton within a day's journey?But it might be that cotton seeds were mixed into the grass that they ate.

"Have you ever seen this kind of wildflower?"

All the soldiers came over and shook their heads after seeing it: "Never."

These people are all veterans, and they are more familiar with this area than anyone else, but they really don't focus on the flowers and plants, so they say they haven't seen them, so it doesn't mean they don't grow nearby.

Gu Cijiu saw that the cotton was in full bloom, and there were black seeds inside the white fluffy cotton bolls, so he simply uprooted the cotton.

He first hung a sign in the market to search for cotton with a lot of money, and then hired a painter to draw pictures and post them in Huzhou.

The wild cotton was not found, but in August, a Hu merchant really sent him a large bag of cotton seeds!

In the new year, there was a small tribe of Yanrong people seeking to be attached to it. Gu Cijiu began to teach Yanrong people to settle down and live in the form of pastures. The planting area of ​​potatoes was further expanded, and it was the first year of cotton breeding.

Three years later, the Yanrong people fought another battle with Wei, and Wei won again.At this time, Shaobo was already the prefect of Huzhou, and Gu Cijiu was the governor.Wei's actual control of the territory expanded nearly a hundred miles to the north.

Huzhou set up a guard camp for all women. Most of the women here were rescued from the Yanrong people. Many of them had no intention of marrying and hated the Yanrong people to the bone, so they were placed as a battalion.The original intention of Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo was to make them become nurses and doctors in the field, but in the end, these women trained bravely and killed the iron blood of the enemy, and finally became an extremely sturdy women's army.

Taizong: Don't laugh!Can't laugh!After laughing, I have to sleep in the study by myself again!But I can't help it... cough cough cough cough!

Queen: →_→Your Majesty, your face is flushed and your facial features are distorted and your cough is even scarier, okay?

This year, Huzhou gave Taizong eight quilts for his birthday, and Taizong, who was happy to receive the quilts, said: "Great kindness!"

In the same year, the matter of the prince's restoration of sight was finally brought to the fore.At this time, after the death of King Yong, although the other three kings also made small moves, they were all photographed by Taizong.None of the children of the Four Kings was particularly outstanding.And the ministers have been obsessed with making money these years... In fact, even if they have already stood in line, they are not standing firmly.

Although there were minor twists and turns in the process of the prince regaining the right of inheritance, it was not a major problem.

Five years later, Gu Cijiu served as Minister of the Ministry of War, and Duan Shaobo served as Minister of the Ministry of Households. The two finally returned to Qiyang, and the first textile workshop was established.

In the same year, Zhao Jinwen unexpectedly reappeared. He proposed the "Working Method", and was sprayed back by a group of ministers in the court, so that the shofar wind that he had not relapsed for many years broke out again...

The most important article of the "Employment Law" is that no matter good or bad, workers can sue their employers after their health and body have been damaged.This law is taken for granted in modern society, but it is a dream to propose this law in feudal society.Even Zhao Jinwen, who proposed this law, often beats and scolds eunuchs?He still goes out to visit brothels all the time, how many of those whores are willing to be playthings?

In the same year, female general Zhao Yingcao began to emerge.With [-] female troops, [-] Yanrong soldiers were defeated, and more than [-] were captured.

Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun, and so does women's rights.Thinking that as long as a woman can earn money, she can have status. Just look at the businessman and you will know whether there is no status or no status.

Women in modern Europe and the United States began to fight for women's rights since the eighteenth century, but the results were not satisfactory. Later, women's status was improved because of World War I and World War II. A large number of men died in battle. Women either insisted on working in the rear, or entered Only then did he gain his own power on the battlefield.In China, during the Anti-Japanese War, women fought bloody battles just like men. Without their sacrifices, there would be no status for women in the future.

However, there have been many female generals in China since ancient times, but they all disappeared in a flash, and they failed to make special cases like themselves become commonplace.This time, Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo silently built a ladder for her.

Seven years later, Taizong happily abdicated, took the queen out to play, and the crown prince ascended the throne—the national treasury was quite full, but the private treasury... Taizong moved out completely.

Four-year universal education began to be implemented in the four northern states, and girls' schools were established together with ordinary private schools.

Ten years later, the first women's department.

Fourteen years later, Emperor Taizong died with a simple smile, and two months later, the Empress Dowager passed away.

Twenty years later, the first female prefect appeared.Gu Cijiu served as Prime Minister, and Duan Shaobo served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

24 years later, the ocean-going fleet set off.The Yanrong people completely integrated into the Great Wei Dynasty and became a Chinese nation.

32 years later, the American continent was discovered, and the fleet brought back corn and sweet potatoes.

37 years later, Gu Cijiu fell seriously ill, and the two resigned.Jingzong refused.

After 40 years, Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo have finally successfully resigned!

On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, two old men watched the moon and ate moon cakes in the yard.

"Don't eat it. If you don't have a good appetite, you always eat mooncakes made of cloud legs. It's too greasy." An old man took away the mooncakes in front of another old man, "Have some porridge."

"I've eaten half of that mooncake, and it won't be fresh after one night. You let me finish eating it. Can I not eat it tonight?" the old man who had been robbed of the mooncake begged bitterly.

"no!"

"Senior brother..."

"Hey... big brother, I'll add two pieces of rock sugar to the porridge for you, okay?"

"No rock sugar, but sweet-scented osmanthus."

"Okay~~ sweet-scented osmanthus!"

After eating porridge, brushing teeth, Duan Shaobo and Gu Cijiu went to bed.Gu Cijiu held Duan Shaobo's hand under the quilt: "Oh... I'm really old, I could move two years ago, but I can't move now."

"Isn't that what it should be?" Duan Shaobo said helplessly, his face was still a little hot.

No matter what he looked like when he was young, when he was old, he would still have chicken skin and white hair. His wrinkled skin was really lucky for Gu Cijiu to be able to smack his mouth two years ago.But... Gu Cijiu's wrinkled face in his eyes was indeed still handsome.
