It is rare for Jia Xun to come to the capital once, so it is impossible for Jia Xun to go back empty-handed. Whoever said that the money for selling seafood was agreed to be decided by the shopkeeper and manager of Furuiju to transport the goods back, but Jia Xun himself still has a few. A money changer, no matter how bad he is, there are still a lot of things in his space that can be taken out by taking this opportunity.

So after wandering around Rongning Street, I went to the busiest street in the capital to see if there were any good things.

But after two or three days, the steward of Furuiju had already purchased things, and a group of people hurriedly guarded those cars and walked back.When I came here, it was seafood and seawater, which were very heavy, but when I went back, most of them were silk and cloth from the south of the Yangtze River, which were large in size but not heavy. It was faster, but it was only four days before I returned to the county seat.

Although this county belongs to Gyeonggi-do at any rate, it is the most northeast part of the entire Gyeonggi-do, and it is also the poorest boundary. There is neither an official road connected to Jiangnan like the southeast of Gyeonggi-do, nor is it connected to Guanzhong in the west. The main road of the important town is not even comparable to the military town in the north, so this place has always been a place where the Jiangnan style cannot be blown, and most of the merchants are small merchants, and there are no big merchants with money and power. As a result, many things that are popular in the south naturally arrive here later, and the prices are higher than those in other places.If you add the expenses of various checkpoints, etc., except for some things that can be produced everywhere, such as rice, these things are [-] to [-]% higher than those in the capital.

For example, those special items in the south of the Yangtze River are always sought after by countless people. If other products are produced in the south or other provinces, it goes without saying that they are simply rare and good things. Because of this, Although most of the merchants here are small merchants, they are not far away, but they can live a particularly nourishing life.

Now the management of Furuiju is in charge, and fifteen truckloads of goods have been shipped in, and they have been shipped directly through some dental shops in the capital at the purchase price. No one needs to do any publicity, but it's just that the wind has been released, it's better The merchants came directly to the door.

Although they are only asking for goods at wholesale prices, the speed of delivery is extremely fast anyway. Even the sandalwood fans from the south and the Shu embroidery round fans that are only used in summer can be eaten without blinking an eye. Go, in this way, Jia Xun and others can be regarded as calmed down a lot. Anyway, the money is returned quickly enough, isn't it?

But when I came back, it took two or three days longer, and the 3000 taels of silver immediately became 600 taels.There is really no way to say it now, everyone is overjoyed, this is just doing two deals, and they can make a fortune immediately, no matter who is responsible for this matter, it is absolutely heavenly Pie-like happiness is not.

The only regret is that I want to make a fortune in the first half of this year, but I'm afraid it won't work.

"I heard from people in the shop in the capital city that someone from the south has already transported sea goods from the coast of Shandong to the capital city. There are quite a lot of them. There are probably two ships. I heard that people from the navy over there went to sea to get them. Tell me. , What kind of thing is this, isn't this a business grab, when the navy will rely on this to make a living, no one will run on people like us."

As soon as the steward came back, he began to complain, talking about the news he had heard, and everyone sighed. With such two ships, even if the business can still be done, the price may not go up. Besides, with such a ship, Who knows if there will be other people. During the few days when they were in the capital, they could see such seafood being transported to the capital almost every day. I heard that several other nearby seaside towns got the news, and the high prices encouraged the fishermen. The sea was transported by some merchants. It can be seen that the news has become more and more widespread. In this way, who is willing to go to the sea in winter to ruin their body?

"Okay, we have already taken the lead and got the most benefits. Why not be dissatisfied? We should let others earn some, otherwise we will become the rafters in the early days. Besides, the navy is really doing this. It is more convenient than us, not to mention the large number of people, the boat is fine, as for them robbing business, don’t talk about it in the future, I do know why they do this, and you also know that most of these people are military households for generations, so If it’s a time of great war, it’s nothing to say, those who fight for their lives will always have a lot of spoils, and the family’s life is comfortable and tight, but in a peaceful year like today, except for those who don’t know how many layers have been deducted There is no other future for the food and wages of the skin. They can only rely on their own farming and fishing to make ends meet. The family is probably poorer than us. Now that they have heard that there is such a way to make money, how can they do it? Don’t be tempted? I’m afraid that at the moment, I’m only thinking about using this method to earn a year’s worth of food.”

Clerk Hong was a son of an official at any rate, and knew more about these people than others. Hearing that these people were a little dissatisfied, he immediately persuaded them a few more words. Yinzi dazzled his eyes, and finally provoked people who shouldn't be provoked. Most of the military households are aggressive and ruthless. If they rob others of their chances of life, I don't know if they will come to fight for their lives.Now that he has earned enough money, it is time to retreat and withdraw, which is the right way.

It's not that everyone doesn't listen to persuasion, besides, people are always like this, and this thing has already happened, so they will naturally find a step subconsciously to make themselves feel more comfortable.Hearing Hong Shuji's words, he immediately nodded his head, especially the village head who came here to calculate the dividends, and said:

"Today's life is not as good as it used to be. It has only been a long time. Every family in the village has lived a good life, and every family has bought land. Counting, if it was in the past, it would be several times higher. You may not be able to earn such a family business in your life. People, you must be content. After the money is divided this time, the big guys can live in peace for a while. When the spring begins, what should be tidied up and what should be bought Don’t forget, there are still two big things to do in our village, road repairs and ancestral halls. Can such big things keep you idle?”

As soon as the village chief had spoken, those who were still a little uncomfortable quickly let go of their petty thoughts, whether it was building roads, reducing time for getting in and out, making it easier for carriages and horses, or building roads. The ancestral hall, let the ancestors have a better place to enjoy the incense. For this Hailuo village, it is the most important event in the past century. Naturally, he will not be sloppy. Most importantly, the village chief I have said it all, after the ancestral hall is built and the ancestors are invited in, the names of those who contributed to this generation will be written in the merit book of the ancestral hall. This is a great event to leave a name for future generations In the future, it will be a major event that will be recited and worshiped by children and grandchildren. Naturally, they will never be sloppy.

"What the village chief said is that we are confused. Since this is the case, let's hurry up and clear up the money matter, so we can go back and make preparations for it."

"Yes, it's been a few days since I came out this time, and I don't know what's going on at home. I've never been out for so long before."

"You boy, you are thinking about your wife. I heard that you went to the gold and silver shop this time in the capital. What's the matter, you spent the money before it was divided? Hahaha."

Now that there is no need to think about doing another thing, everyone feels more relaxed at once, and they are also in the mood to gossip. Jia Xun laughed for a while when he saw it, but turned his head, and He was dragged by the village head to settle accounts.

"Second son, hurry up, you and your elder brother are the only ones who can read and write the most in our village, better than the old man like me, now it's time to settle accounts, who do you not use?"

In fact, there is no need to count. Jia Xun has already counted in his heart. Anyway, Hailuo Village is half of the count. The rest is the business of Furuiju shopkeeper and Liu Bantou. It has nothing to do with the village. How they like to count No matter how it is calculated, the family only needs to take the thousand 800 taels of silver back.

But he also knew what the village chief meant. It wasn't the sum that he needed to help calculate, but how to divide it in the village after returning.

When there were a lot of people, Jia Xun didn't say a word, just pretending that he only had his ears on, waiting for the 800 taels of silver to reach the village chief. The chief took him to sit on Jia's mule cart and asked again, and he said angrily:

"It's just the same as last time. The village elder's distribution was very fair last time, and everyone was convinced. One person who went into the water was 20 taels, and those who came out to transport goods were [-] taels per person, and the rest were based on the head of the sea. To divide, all aspects are very thoughtful."

Hearing these words, the village head laughed, and felt that he was extremely wise. This Jia Xun boy had good eyesight, but he still happily pretended to reprimand him:

"Ask your idea. Really, this kid is naughty. Tell me, this time there is more money. How should we distribute it? You should settle the score."

This clearly means that I did score well last time, so I just asked Jia Xun to follow the rules of last time and make another subdivision.Fortunately, Jia Xun really felt that the score was fair last time, so he naturally smiled and didn't say anything else, just helping to start counting the number of people.

"This time we have twenty people who go into the water, that is 400 taels, and forty people who come out to sell goods, that is also 400 taels, so we went to 800 taels all at once. 83, basically everyone in our village did their best, even my mother and sisters-in-law helped to transport things. Except for those baby boys, those under the age of seven or eight, and those over five and 60 years old really couldn’t help. Yes, there really aren't many left."

Speaking of this, Jia Xun wanted to show his teeth. Really, maybe the last time he was paid for all the work, so this time the people in the village came up with cleverness, for fear that he would be missed by then. Fishing net workers, as long as they can move the fish basket, none of them will let go, and they rush to do the work. Fortunately, there are still those milk babies, those sick patients, or the old ones who are really dry. Don't move, just stand on one side, otherwise I'm afraid that this scene will be like the whole village fighting, it's scary to watch.Jia Xun is trembling when he thinks about it now, the third son of his family, who clearly couldn't move the fish basket, actually gritted his teeth and drove away with the fish girl on a pole. up.

"No matter how big or small, we have tried our best. We didn't stipulate who can do it and who can't do it at the beginning, so these people really have to give. Fortunately, every family has them, and no one can say what's wrong with another family. If one person pays ten taels, then it’s 830 taels again, and the rest is only 170 taels of silver. Let me tell you, since there is some silver left, we might as well collect more silver for our ancestral hall, and just build a three-entry one. , using bricks and tiles, that is, 80 taels of silver, last time I already had 30 taels, this time adding 50 taels is definitely enough, so there are still 120 taels left for the old people in the village, like Last time, the normal pension money of two taels and five taels was only 55 taels, and there is still 65 taels left. Village head, let’s use this money to hire a teacher for the village. I heard that a scholar should be invited to study. , It’s only 40 taels of silver a year, and 25 taels can be used as pen and ink money for the children in the village. How wonderful. The last of the three entrances to the ancestral hall happens to be an elementary school. I think the ancestors will be happy.”

The village chief nodded as he listened, his eyes were full of admiration, the kid really didn't misunderstand him, he said nothing on the surface, it was all his elder brother, but in fact he understood it in his heart, listen, the analysis of these words, It is true that this time, because everyone saw the money within reach, when they went to sea to work, it was a bit chaotic, not as straightforward as the last time, but after all, I didn't sit down to the rules at the beginning, and every household was in trouble. There are some things that are a bit lawless, so we can only deal with them in this way. As for the last thing about being educated, I think of him, the head of the village.

"Okay, it's good. Second son, uncle is right. Even if you are promising, you can see far, so uncle can rest assured. With you in the future, there will only be more prosperous people in our village."

When the village chief said this, his whole body seemed to be relieved of some heavy burden, and it was not easy. , narrowed his eyes, didn't know where he was looking, and just muttered softly:

"I'm old, I really didn't expect that there will be such a day when I'm old, the village is getting better day by day, those dilapidated sheds have become neat houses, ancestral halls, Dragon King Temple, road construction, every day These are all happy events that I dare not think about in the past!"
