Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

The reactions of the villagers were all within Wang Xiujin's expectations, that is, everything was too easy to get, so they raised their appetites, thinking that they would have everything, and now that they were cut off from the way forward, they would naturally make a fuss.Used to them before, Wang Xiujin thought more about what happened in the last days in his previous life, but forgot the greed of human nature.Now Wang Xiujin doesn't want to be used to it anymore, he doesn't owe them anything, he thinks of them, he admits if he doesn't read well, but he is still bullied in turn, he really thinks he has lost his temper.

Honestly memorizing the whole book, Wang Xiujin considered whether to ask his father to recite it now, or tomorrow morning.If he goes now, he is worried that his father will type up another book, and if he waits until tomorrow morning, he is afraid that he will forget it when he wakes up. What a contradiction!Resting his chin on the book as if discouraged, Wang Xiujin looked depressed, he was really afraid of his father.Wang Xiujin still went to find his father before eating, memorized the book, and then hurriedly followed the buddy from the city.There was an accident at the construction site in the city, and I had to go into the city, and I didn't even eat dinner when I left.

The responsibility for the accident did not lie with the construction party. Someone sneaked into the high wall somehow and wanted to smuggle the dismantled wood out to exchange for money. When the construction staff found out, they were surrounded by punches and kicks. Almost killed people.Let's talk about it!In the ancient society without human rights, it is not a big deal, especially if the person still has to smuggle wood, even if he is killed, throwing it out will not only pay for his life, but also for money.But for some reason, many people gathered outside, and there were also many people who moved from here, and they asked for materials for their houses.When Zhao Si received the news, he was enraged by this group of people who took the money and wanted to covet more people, so he reported directly to the officials.The county magistrate Wang was also so annoyed by the dissatisfied people that he just waved his hand and asked the yamen servants to arrest all the people gathered there.

The people were dumbfounded when they were caught in prison. Some people were begging for things, but most of them just followed the excitement and made a fuss.The yamen guards in charge of the prison were delighted, they had guarded the prison for a long time, and it was the first time they saw so many people in the prison.He casually asked what happened to the yamen servant who sent someone over.The yamen servant sneered, "I'm not greedy enough, I don't think that when I got the money, I pressed my fingerprints, but I want to ask for more."

"It's about the relocation not long ago? That's a lot! This man! Don't be too greedy. Now that you're here, you want to go out, hehe." Rubbing his hands, he smiled wickedly.

"Okay, the new county magistrate is different from the last one. Don't lose the skin just because of greed."

When Wang Xiujin rushed into the city, everyone was already in prison, so he could only find the place where Zhao Si was staying. It happened that his eldest brother was also there, so Wang Xiujin sat down directly and poured himself a glass of water. "What's going on, I heard the guy talking."

Wang Xiubai briefly explained the matter, "I think someone should have contributed to this matter. If not, the house is almost demolished, so why would you want it?"

Zhao Si nodded. The first thing he thought of was not the local wealthy family in Wu County, but the brothers who were far away in the capital, whether those people sent them to do something.Wang Xiujin and Zhao Si thought differently, he thought it should be local wealthy households, seeing that they were generous and occupied such a large area, he was afraid that they would rob them of their wealth.Or maybe they believed the rumors circulating in the city recently, saying that they occupy the land because there are treasures here, otherwise, how could they give up so much money? , they rely on this.

After Wang Xiujin expressed his guess, Wang Xiubai was more inclined to the latter.Zhao Si didn't believe it, but he was more inclined to think in his heart. He didn't think about the so-called local snake, but he didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't look at who he brought. Many people were him. The bodyguard of the palace, in addition to receiving wages, now also receives the monthly salary of another palace guard.

"Guards!" The Wang family brothers looked at Zhao Si with strange eyes, they were really overqualified.wasteful, extravagant.

"Yeah, what's the matter, now the foremen are all guards." Zhao Si didn't think there was any problem at all.The two brothers of the Wang family rolled their eyes in unison, still firmly believing that it was the latter, who could tell that those foremen were guards.Zhao Si was helpless by the insistence of the two, "Even if it's as you said, someone didn't want me to get rich and caused trouble, what should I do now!"

"What fourth brother Zhao has to do is to take the contract that he drew back to the county government to file a complaint, and then deploy more people to protect himself." Wang Xiujin paused and looked at his elder brother, "Elder brother only needs to handle the case impartially. As for those who followed Those who make a fuss will be fined some money to beat a few boards before releasing them. Remember the pain, and they will not dare to do it again next time. Then send the yamen servants to post two notices, saying that this is a large-scale workshop. Conscientious merchants sympathize with the suffering of the people, but they don’t want some people to be greedy, so conscientious merchants decided not to recruit workers in the county.”

"I didn't intend to recruit people here at first!" Zhao Si looked at Wang Xiujin in confusion. Didn't he say that the workshop was specially built for disabled soldiers?

"I didn't intend to recruit! That's all I said." Wang Xiujin rolled his eyes, "I just took this opportunity to settle this matter, lest someone want to entrust my relationship to enter the workshop in the future. In the plan I drew up, The monthly salary is written very clearly, if you don’t pay attention, you can read it carefully, but the monthly salary of the local shop assistants is only a few tens of dollars.”

"A profiteer." Zhao Si gritted his teeth at Wang Xiujin and said his evaluation of Wang Xiujin.

Wang Xiujin narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Brother, if there are literati who jump out, they can directly state how much compensation those people have received on Brother Zhao's certificate. I think literati also know the smell of money."

"What did you eat? You speak so viciously. How can a literati offend you." Wang Xiubai nodded his younger brother's forehead. "Your elder brother is also a literati."

"It's not that I have a problem with literati, it's that I hate their hypocrisy. They don't ask what's wrong in order to make a name for themselves." Wang Xiujin rolled his eyes.Zhao Si nodded, especially those officials in the capital, it was as if criticizing the emperor was what they had to do every day.

Wang Xiubai was speechless, but he had to agree, got up and bowed to Zhao Si, he got the Yamen.Before leaving, he dragged Wang Xiujin away with him.Wang Xiujin rubbed his stomach, "Brother, I'm in a hurry to go to the city, my brother hasn't eaten yet."

"It's already been prepared. Do you think I'm eating it? You're too casual in front of that person. After all, his identity is different from ours." Wang Xiubai looked worried. The fourth prince's temper looks good now, but In the future, if things change, and thinking about his younger brother's attitude towards him, will he secretly remember his younger brother in his heart.

Wang Xiujin didn't say anything, he knew his elder brother's worries, some things were wrong to do, and being with a king is like being with a tiger, this statement is not false at all.With a wry smile on his face, the matter was over.Wang Xiubai sighed in his heart, if he was stronger, if he had half the brains of his younger brother, maybe he wouldn't have to let his younger brother stand out.Thinking about how young other people's families are, and thinking about his younger brother, Wang Xiubai felt even more guilty.

The troubles caused by the common people caused waves in Wu County again. After the yamen’s notice was posted, many people who made a living by doing odd jobs scolded those troublemakers over and over again, completely ignoring whether the workshop originally planned to open Recruiting people here, in their view, since they are building a workshop in Wu County, they naturally want to hire people for this matter, but a good thing has been disturbed by some money-grubbing people, how can they not hate it.

The people behind who encouraged people to make troubles also dispersed after seeing the notice, let's look at it first, if it's really a workshop, it's fine, if it's not a workshop, it's not too late to make trouble.But those people who were pushed out and imprisoned did not have a good time waiting for them, especially those who had their fingerprints pressed.These people are pitiful?innocent?But it is even more exasperating. If you are not greedy for money, how can this happen, and how can you give away the money you got and pay back to the other party.The common people who followed the booing and causing trouble, their faces turned pale with fright, their intestines turned green with regret, and they would also lose money, not to mention be punished.While waiting for the board, some people slapped themselves a few times, this is a bad mouth.

The literati looked at the notice, but they didn't react much, and they didn't start to say anything. When they compensated the common people, they wrote an article praising the merchant. Now that they saw the notice, they agreed with what they wrote before. Article, as for those imprisoned people, I can only say that they are too greedy.

There is a student who can be called a poor student in the academy. His family originally lived in the relocation area, but now his family situation is very different. A few days ago, he heard his family talk about wealth and treasures, and he promptly persuaded him Yes, he had carefully looked at the deed back then, and after explaining it to his family, the family lost their minds. They have a pretty good life now, the house is better than before, the place is bigger than before, and they still have some money left Yes, my son is also good at studying. Don't expect him to be the number one scholar, a Jinshi, and the family is looking forward to his success.Their family gave up their thoughts and tried to persuade their old neighbors, but they didn't want to be scolded instead, so they stopped trying to persuade them.Now that they are locked up, they think of luck in their hearts, and they fully support their son's study.

After taking the compensation, how many of them can be kept, most of them are used to build new houses, and there is not much left over. What kind of money is used to fill the holes they made? Even if the money is not spent, the money The money can be made up, but what about the fine money.They hated the person who said that the place where they lived was actually hiding the treasure. This group of people blamed each other.

"Speaking of it, it's not because of greed. Alas!" Some people came to their senses and wanted to get more after taking a lot of money. Whether you can get compensation is a matter of course.As soon as these words came out, the prison became quiet, everyone hugged their heads, like a plague chicken, and some people burst into tears, counting their own is not easy, but it is of no use.

The guarding yamen servant sighed slightly, and turned around to talk to the county magistrate. This yamen servant has a background to be able to guard the cell. But don't be arrogant, as long as you don't go to prison, he won't take three points from you, and if you go to prison, you have to confess, otherwise you will just wait to suffer!After the county magistrate listened, he raised his hand and patted his cousin's head, "They deserve it, don't say I didn't warn you, the current county magistrate has a deep background! That Mr. Zhao who came to the capital, that's all right Those who are attached to the royal family, if they can take out the money, it is for our county magistrate and the owner of the grain shop."

The yamen servant gasped after hearing this, and secretly scolded those idiots in the prison, they are relatives of the emperor, no wonder the notice directly stated that no one from Wu county would be used.Look at it occupying such a large area, the workshop is not small, if it is employing people, how many people will be needed.

"Don't make this matter public. The county magistrate told me that he can trust me and treat me as his own. You keep your mouth shut. If you let me hear any rumors outside, don't say that I will not protect you then." The county magistrate glared at his cousin and left. The yamen servant hurried back to the prison to watch people. Although he had some sympathy for those locked in the prison, he did not dare to offend the big shots. Keep a close eye on people, and you must not make even the slightest mistake.

The matter in the city came to an end, and Zhao Si didn't really want the money, and he wasn't a tyrant who had to force people to death, but he was angry after all, and he had to make those people suffer, but He can't take it back at all, so that he will be kind-hearted in the future, and he can spread the money by pretending to be pitiful, and he is not a boy who spreads money.

Wang Xiujin didn't take care of the follow-up matters anymore. He was busy checking the grain harvested this year with shopkeeper Yu. The village is watching, from collecting grain to scooping rice, no mistakes are allowed, even if the harvest is small, there must be no mixed rice.After reconciling the accounts, the two calculated the number of crab seedlings needed next year. Wang Xiujin didn't plan to raise all the crabs. If there were too many crabs, it would be a problem if they couldn't be sold. They could try raising fish or other aquatic products that would not damage the seedlings.

"Boss, there is a third grandpa who claims to be you and wants to see you." A young man ran in and interrupted their train of thought.

Third grandfather?Wang Xiujin thought for a while, then got up and went out with the boy, while shopkeeper Yu carefully put away all the books.Although everyone in the shop is united, it is always right to be careful.

Walking to the shop in front, Wang Xiujin saw the third grandpa, a well-known elder in the village, and hurried forward to salute and say hello.Invite someone to sit down in the small hall on the side, and ask the clerk to deliver a pot of tea, "Third Grandfather must have something to do when he came to look for me, and there is no one at the moment. It's okay for Third Grandpa to just say it, but if it's about signing a contract in the village, don't open your mouth." , the matter is settled."
