Chapter 99 Cloud Picking Increases Female Frequency
When the night was low, several ancient towers in the city covered the cold wind of the autumn night for the flood-ravaged county victims with only a little habitat under the cold moon. In the crowd leaning together, the occasional cough and panting of the old man; the sighs of some people; and the cries of several children.
The king sat on a big stone. The wind made his hair a little messy, but it did not affect his handsomeness, but made him look more wild and masculine. Cai Jing's words touched him during the day, and he was thinking. Or since he crossed into the Song Dynasty, he was only interested in one thing, that is, silver. So much so that he had the opportunity to be an official, he resigned to do business.
Master Zhang Yi is right in teaching. The road he has taken is not wrong. No one will know how to arrange his fate. Even if he comes back after crossing a thousand years, his future is still uncertain. Maybe the business war can destroy the enemy in a war without gunpowder smoke. However, a businessman is powerless with natural disasters, just like the county in front of him. Water control is a major event in ancient and modern times, but it is not something that merchants can do if they have money.
What did you do when you came back from time? Is it just to enjoy the glory and wealth that you have never enjoyed in your previous life? No! An idea gradually sprouted in the heart of the king, and it was not difficult to do business. He wants to make himself not travel in vain. He put one hand on his chest and covered the piece of ancient crystal through his clothes.
A cool breeze blew, which made the king turn his mind from meditation. The two figures came from near the ancient tower not far away and walked to the young one in front of the king and said, "Sir, I'm ready."
Wang's bright eyes looked at Xue Xiang: "Lord Xue, I'm so noisy today."
Xue Xiang shook his head. The courage of the king impressed him, not to mention that there are no guests at present. The matter of the disaster victims is the first major thing: "There is no master here. You and I are the same, not to mention that I try my best to do things well. Mr. Wang, just tell him."
Wang said and stood up: "Lord Xue, please take Yuanchang to ambush from the woods." He looked back at Cai Jing: "Those people will not give up when they see us entering the city. I think they will come tonight. I'll stay here!"
As expected by the king, two people sneaked into the city in the middle of the night. After looking around, they didn't find that the king walked back. They didn't find that they had been followed by the king.
In the woods in the middle of the night, the two thieves stepped on the withered leaves and got closer and closer to Xue Xiang and Cai Jing. The two walked one after one after and said, "Today is unlucky. Obviously, I saw the two people entering the city and did not leave." The other said, "Aren't there two horses out of the city? I guess the two kids were afraid of us and fled in official clothes."
The person walking in front said, "That won't be enough to leave, and we have to go back anyway. Even if we haven't been found out for three or four days, we will be in trouble if we really transfer officers and soldiers. Do you want us to tell the boss? You said you, you don't talk when I ask you, um, ? As he walked, he said a few words, but no one behind him answered. When he turned around, he found that the person behind him fell to the ground, and there was a man in night clothes beside his companion who fell to the ground.
And just as he turned around and found that at the same time, the man in black had arrived in front of him. Before he could react, he felt that his calf bone had been kicked heavily, as if he was about to be broken. He subconsciously bowed and elbowed his back.
These movements were too coherent, and the time was used too fast. The two thieves fell to the ground. Before they could shout for their companions, they were covered with their mouths.
Two thieves were brought back to Guta, and after a trial, they knew that they were local residents. These thieves were originally soldiers guarding Yanzhou. When they heard that there was a flood in their hometown, they ran back. When I came back, I saw such a miserable situation, and no one in the family survived, so I gathered together to be a robber.
Wang Bing also heard earlier that Xue Xiang was upright and could be considerate of his subordinates, and Xue Xiang now happens to be the deputy envoy of Quan Shaanxi transshipment, and also holds the position of dissolving salt. When I come to investigate this time, I must deal with him. Through his handling, I can also see Xue Xiang's style of doing things. Thinking of this, Wang just sat aside and waited to see how Xue Xiang dealt with it.
After listening to the two people, Xue Xiang asked coldly, "As locals, aren't you ashamed to rob your fellow villagers?"
Everyone thought that Xue Xiang was going to say something about the national law, grass bandits and so on. Unexpectedly, Xue Xiang did not speak righteously to other officials, but suddenly talked about the difficulties of the robbers. If they are not ashamed, they don't have to cover their faces.
Originally, the two of them were also ready to correct the law. Anyway, their relatives were gone. With the determination to die horizontally and vertically, Master Xue Xiang's words really touched his nerves, and suddenly blushed and lowered his head.
Xue Xiang ordered people to untie the two. Hearing this order, everyone present was stunned. He nodded and affirmed his order more. The two were loosened and knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Wang Bian looked at it quietly, thinking that Xue Xiang was really not simple, but he heard Xue Xiang say, "You don't do anything about getting salary. Why do you have to be this robber? Go back and tell those people. As long as you go back to the city to help the people in the city clean up and bury the bodies, I won't investigate you. Don't forget that there are your own relatives here. You We can't take care of the bones of our relatives.
The two thieves were both grateful and sad, and were ordered to find their companions. After an hour or two, the five people came back. Xue Xiang did not seduce them. There is an urgent need for manpower in the city, and the bodies should be buried as soon as possible. Moreover, it was the first priority to appease people after the disaster. He distributed the food returned by the robbers to everyone, and sealed the silver and waited for the takeover to deal with it.
Xue Xiang's move made Wang's side appreciate it very much. Wang side and Cai Jing stayed for a few more days. While helping Xue Xiang deal with post-disaster reconstruction, they were waiting for the people who sent letters and mobilized supplies to come back. In their spare time, the two discussed the current problems of transportation, or the price problems in various places, which was very interesting.
Although Wang looks young, after all, what he knows is that in addition to Zhang Yi's teaching, he also has a lot of previous life experience. What's more, Wang has a sense of self-confidence in business. After three or five days, Wang is afraid that he and Xue Xiang will become close friends.
Wang said goodbye to Xue Xiang and went to visit Zhang Zai again. Seeing that Zhang Zai, a disaster victim in Kuocheng, had settled down properly, he thought that Kuo City had mobilized supplies. The disaster victims heard that the prince they met on the road had come to Yunyan and came to the county government to thank him one after another. As a result, Wang was embarrassed to stay for a few more days. He explained to the disaster victims that the robbers had dispersed, and the post-disaster reconstruction had also begun. If there was labor, they could go back. Everyone was very happy.
Before he left Yunyan, Wang Bian saw a team of ox carts on the road. Cai Jing was excited and hurriedly said to Wang Bian, "Sir, look, this is the cattle team of our Jinxiang Mansion." After saying that, he didn't wait for Wang to answer and urged the horse to rush to the front of the car of the team. He stopped the driver, and then the convoy stopped. Yu Danian jumped out of the shed of the first car and saw that the two people next to the king ran to the king happily.
It turned out that Zhongpin from Yanzhou wrote to Wang. This year's winter coal was shipped directly from Jinxiangfu to Yanzhou. This is a big business. You should know that there are many soldiers stationed in Yanzhou and other border places, and the annual demand is very large. Last year, Yu Da Nian and Yin Shijie came to see it. They hesitated because of the heavy taxes.
This year, Zhongyi personally supervised the matter of coal, and the tax side gave Wang a great discount. The amount of coal used by the garrison is large. The coal of these dozen ox carts is only the first batch, and at least three or four batches have been shipped later to purchase Yanzhou garrison soldiers for one winter.
Wang was naturally happy to hear the news, but he was not very sure of such a large amount of demand. Yu Danian saw the situation and said, "When you went there the other day, the method of making a water diversion well was good, or there was water seepage or rain did not affect coal digging. In addition, the coal storage in two new places was really high, and the coal seam was found without much depth. Now our output is two or three times higher than our previous ones, and there are also daily acquisitions. You can rest assured that you will never delay the use of the capital.
Yu Danian was very excited to say that he introduced it in one breath. Wang was much more relieved to see that he did not delay the use of coal in the capital. He also asked Yu Danian about the situation in Meyer's house and Jinxiang's house. As far as Yu Danian knew, everything was working normally. I also heard that there were several more states and counties that Jinxiulou joined in Mayer's house, and Yuanze on Yunxuan's side also took good care of them, so they were relieved.
Seeing that it was not far from Yanzhou, Wang Bian followed the cattle convoy to Yanzhou. He settled in the post office and saw that the post office had already sold "Cloud Pick", so he bought a copy at his own expense and chatted with the post shopkeeper for a while. Knowing that the "Cloud Pick" was selling well, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "You came at the right time. If you come late, I'm afraid you will buy it. No?!"
Cai Jing couldn't help but "and" to speak when he was stopped by the king. Returning to the guest room, Cai Jing asked, "Why did you come to buy it yourself?"
Wang side smiled and said, "Are we going to go back to the capital to see it again? This store selling cloud picks is also a business. It didn't cost much," he said as he looked through it. " In Cloud Abstract, Yuan Zezhong and several people discussed and discussed the style of writing, but they suddenly found that a few pages were actually a newly drafted page when they were away. The title of the page was actually "Women's Frequency", which was also published as women's works.
This is what I didn't expect before. I thought it was funny. Yun Ze never liked to deal with women. I guess it was Su Shi's idea. Seeing that the poems above were really unique and delicate. I thought that there would definitely be a lot of women's masterpieces in the future, and there were more readers who read the cloud.
In the first issue of "Cloud Pick", there are two women's poems. One is the "Mrs. Wei" seen by Wang. This female poem is quite accomplished, and she is Zeng Bu's wife. The other sign is "Su Xiaomei", which makes Wang side very interested.
Whether it is the legend of Su Xiaomei's previous life or the current rumors, she has only heard of her name and has not seen her, but Wang's side usually has no time to inquire and is embarrassed to ask Su Shi, so as not to avoid misunderstanding. Since this is so signed, I will definitely see it later.
It is said that the talented women of the Northern Song Dynasty are outstanding. At least until now, Su Xiaomei and Li Qingzhao, I don't remember their birthday year, but I haven't seen them yet. Moreover, it is also said that there is Li Shishi............
Hi, where did you want to go? Wang Bian himself also smiled. He put Yun pick aside and told Cai Jing to prepare his clothes to change. Now he wants to see the guards of Yanzhou, and he has won many battles recently, breaking the ritual of Xixia harassing the soldiers.
