Just as he asked this question, Liu Feng suddenly put down his binoculars and rushed to the door. He closed the door with two loud bangs. His eyes flickered as he picked up the latch and quickly locked the door.
He turned around and said to Zhang Xiaobao, "You … do you know what you are doing? I don't care if you open a shop to make money, but you can't sell things that you shouldn't sell. Don't think that you can do whatever you want because you know their family. Can you sell binoculars? Can you?
Also, look at the things you have here, look at how exquisite they are. If you sell them, in case, not in case, there will definitely be other enemies who will buy them. You want to reduce the technology gap between us. You are more hateful than the people who directly sell strategic materials to them. You should be arrested and shot, no, put on the Vermilion Bird Avenue. "
"I sell stationery, look at this stationery box." Zhang Xiaobao smiled at Liu Feng, walked behind a counter, and took out an antique stationery box. According to his calculation, it was an automatic stationery box from many years ago.
There was a button on it, and when pressed, a stationery box would pop out from somewhere else. It was very fun, but it was later eliminated as it was not practical.
When the students held the stationery box in class, they were not obedient. Their attention was all focused on the button, and then the pencils and pens inside would either break or leak ink.
In fact, it was not suitable to take it out for the children to use, because in addition to pencils, the children still needed to write with a brush. Obviously, the stationery box could not put a brush, even if the brush was up and down, and would not directly hurt the brush hair, but when it moved, it would shake, and it would be very harmful to the brush.
Zhang Xiaobao chose to take it out because the stationery box was designed by his brothers and sisters. When they were playing with assembling toys, they played with it and assembled the stationery box.
Since that was the case, it was better to produce a batch and then let the children who could afford to play with it. At least it could cultivate the children's interest. He believed that there would be curious children who would take the stationery box apart and then assemble it again by themselves.
This was the inherent thinking and behavior of a normal person. They liked to think about things, and even adults were the same. As long as they felt that something didn't require too much technology, or thought that their knowledge could be applied to it, they would always want to take it apart and put it back together.
Of course, in the process, most of the things eventually broke down.
Science was all about curiosity. There was a saying that the poor studied while the rich studied martial arts. However, those who were truly involved in research needed money the most. Those who could afford to buy a pencil case were most likely from wealthy families.
Ten thousand bought, five thousand opened. Perhaps many years later, it was precisely because of a pencil box at this time that a scientist with a major invention was nurtured.
Sure enough, when Liu Feng saw the stationery box, he found it very interesting. He placed the stationery box on the counter and pressed the buttons over and over again. For a moment, he forgot about his tiredness and hunger. He was completely absorbed in it.
"Is it fun?" Zhang Xiaobao asked.
Liu Feng nodded.
"Is it interesting?" Zhang Xiaobao asked.
Liu Feng nodded.
"Did you find it interesting?" Zhang Xiaobao asked.
Liu Feng nodded.
"Then do you think it can be sold?" Zhang Xiaobao asked.
Liu Feng shook his head. "No. Is there a spring inside? And it's a spring made of better material? What if someone from Duo Nihility buys it and uses it to make guns? Don't think that I don't know about springs in guns. I've seen Duo Nihility's guns.
They're filled with gunpowder, then iron pellets are put in, and a shot is fired. It's very dangerous if you get close to it. Also, they're currently researching impact ignition. Don't think that they're stupid. They can also think about it.
If you put firecrackers on hard ground and hit them with a hammer, what does it mean? It means that the firing method of a gun can be studied carefully. If it can't be fired, the power of the firing can be increased.
Now that there's a spring in the pencil case you're selling, what if they use it to make a firing device? What do you say? I have to take a good look at the things in your shop. If there's anything that I don't think others can learn, you're not allowed to sell it. Otherwise, I'll fight you to the death. "
Zhang Xiaobao was very impressed. He said three things in a row and Liu Feng nodded. According to conventional thinking, Liu Feng should continue to nod when the fourth question was asked. Unexpectedly, he shook his head.
Hearing Liu Feng's words, Zhang Xiaobao shook his head and smiled. It seemed that Liu Feng knew a lot, but he wasn't proficient in it. It was too difficult to use gunpowder to make a firing gun. He might as well hold a hammer in his hand. It was more useful than a spring. As for the accuracy, he couldn't care less.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. You go to sleep first. I won't open the door today. When you wake up, I'll ask the shop assistant to show you around." Zhang Xiaobao planned to go back to sleep as well. He would sleep after drinking a bowl of soup and not eat any dishes or staples.
Liu Feng looked at the closed door and said to Zhang Xiaobao, "You know their family, so you can take things from them. Why don't you do me a favor? Help me pass a message to Xiao Bao or Cuckoo. Just say … no, help me contact them. I'll tell them personally. It's very important, very important. I'll go to sleep first, you contact them."
"Okay." Zhang Xiaobao agreed.
*****
"Look at how happy you are. Did you find something good?" Zhang Xiaobao went back to the restaurant. He greeted his younger brother and sister who were studying and asked someone to bring him a bowl of egg drop soup. He soaked himself in a big wooden bucket filled with hot water. He bathed to relieve his fatigue while drinking the soup. Wang Juan saw that his expression was good, so she asked.
Zhang Xiaobao blew the floating green onions in the bowl. He took a deep breath and said, "It smells good. When people are tired, they need hot water, salt, and a little bit of fat. Drinking a few mouthfuls of hot soup can increase people's chances of survival in a difficult environment."
"So you're so happy to see the soup?" Wang Juan held a book in her hand. She didn't read it and pretended to talk to Zhang Xiaobao.
"Not exactly. Yesterday morning, when I went out to follow them, I found a colleague, a very interesting colleague. Liu Feng, this kid is not bad. He's talented, hardworking, and most importantly, he knows how to use any resources to help himself gain benefits. "
Zhang Xiaobao tried to drink a mouthful of the soup. It was so hot that he stuck out his tongue and continued to blow.
Wang Juan had long been used to Zhang Xiaobao's style of doing things. She wasn't in a hurry. She looked at the words in the book again and waited.
After sticking out his tongue, Zhang Xiaobao moved his body, making a sound of water. He suddenly asked, "Why didn't you put a spoon in the soup for me?"
"Since I met you, I've never seen you use a spoon to drink soup. Generally speaking, your mouth is facing the edge of the bowl. Look at Bei Bei and Xiaoyuan drinking soup. They're all influenced by you. I tried to persuade them again and again, but the effect was very bad."
Wang Juan still didn't ask about the previous words. She followed Zhang Xiaobao's words and tapped the table a few times with her hand. "We're also considered a big family. We have to cultivate the quality of our children from a young age. Aristocrats aren't born. You don't use a spoon to drink soup, and you make noises when you eat. What qualifications do you have to enter the upper class circle?"
"I protest. You're mocking us working people. Drinking soup with a spoon isn't satisfying, but when you open your mouth, it's delicious. In the past, when people who were cheated by me saw me eat like this, they praised me and said that I was bold. It's the same principle as pouring wine on one's body instead of swallowing it into one's stomach.
For example, my harvest this time. When Liu Feng went to cheat people and competed in drinking with many people, no matter what he said, many people would flatter him at the side. Otherwise, how could they let themselves be cheated so comfortably? "
Zhang Xiaobao's body kept moving as he spoke. Obviously, the space in the wooden barrel was small and not as comfortable as in the pool.
Wang Juan put down the book and showed a curious expression. She asked, "Oh? You're saying that Liu Feng can cheat many people to drink wine? In this period of time, they don't seem to be allowed to drink because of the food problem. If they get addicted to drinking, maybe they'll find a way to make wine themselves. That's a good idea. "
"Yes, that's what I'm thinking too. I'm thinking about how to secretly trade them a good wine-making method. I want to break the current prohibition rule and change it into the future. That is, people can drink, but they can't do anything that endangers public safety because of drinking.
Alcohol can make people relax to a certain extent. If drunk in moderation, it can also drive away the cold and speed up people's blood circulation. Drinking on the battlefield can make people braver. "
Zhang Xiaobao narrowed his eyes and said to Wang Juan with a smile. In his heart, he had a plan. Wine was more harmful to the country than to individuals in this period of time. Fruit wine consumed fruits, while white wine generally consumed food. It was not easy to make fruit wine into white wine.
Wang Juan frowned slightly and nodded after thinking for a while.
She knew what Zhang Xiaobao meant. After the war began, in addition to the fierce confrontations at the front, there would be small scale conflicts and the repositioning of the border.
They had to fight continuously, but they also had to control the rhythm and attack countries with strategic positions. This was the disadvantage of not being able to quickly occupy them.
If they didn't have very sharp mechanized troops, they couldn't fight a blitzkrieg battle. If they didn't have a good policy to pacify the people, they couldn't guarantee that the people in the places they fought wouldn't organize resistance. If they couldn't guarantee that the supply line would be extended due to various factors, then they couldn't rush too fast.
Otherwise, if they forcefully pushed forward, it would lead to more deaths. Not only would they be killed by the enemy's guerrilla warfare, but there would also be psychological stress and illness after a long period of war.
When fighting to a certain extent, Zhang Xiaobao's methods would be needed to break down the enemy's soldiers' will and destroy the people's mentality. The best method was to let the enemy realize that they couldn't beat the opponent in front and that they had nothing to eat at the back.
In addition to Zhang Xiaobao's plan, if several steps were used at the same time, the effect would be very good and obvious.
"It's actually a loss that you didn't go with him. Liu Feng is too interesting. I don't know how he got in touch with the Maneaters. He actually gave himself the identity of a technician, the kind that is oppressed and unfair.
He drew the blueprints himself and wrote the technical information himself. Yesterday, he sold a new powerful weapon to the Maneaters. It's a double-hole cannon arranged side by side. There's a small hole between the two muzzles.
This kind of technology is not accessible to ordinary people because it was successfully researched and tested by our 'New Combined Power Gunpowder Weapon Connection System Autonomous Control Long-Range Strike and Kill Technology Equipment Institute'. It's a very powerful research department. Just the name alone is scary enough. Count, how many words? "
After Zhang Xiaobao finished speaking, he began to drink the soup. It was a little cold now. If he didn't drink it now, he would feel uncomfortable. His stomach was already aching.
Wang Juan: "…"
After being stunned for a while, she asked with a smile, "Liu Feng actually tricked the Maneaters and even created his own department. At the same time, he drew blueprints and wrote data? He's really a talent. So, he also got his money from the Maneaters? No wonder there are special gold coins for the Maneaters and pearls that match the local characteristics. "
"Yes, but yesterday he didn't ask for the gold coins and pearls. He said that the gold coins were not valuable and that it was troublesome to sell the pearls. He took people's … I estimate that it was seven or eight hundred strings of coins. He seemed to take less at the beginning. Later on, he specifically asked for six hundred strings of coins. It's enough for him to spend for a while.
He said that in two days, we will hold a drill outside the city. When the time comes, we will participate and let the Maneaters cooperate with the assassination. Now he's waiting for my reply to see if he has contacted the Zhang Family and the Wang Family. He wants to make a contribution and then use it to attack the people who once looked down on him. "
Zhang Xiaobao said and shook his head helplessly.
Wang Juan and Weiwei opened their mouths. "He, he suffered a lot in their village. He actually thinks about revenge all the time, and even dares to deceive the Maneaters. Once the Maneaters realize that there is a problem, or if they think that he has enough knowledge, they will tie him up and he can forget about coming back. "
"Yes, that's why I admire him. He's a living person. He has his own happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy. He has his own pursuits. His understanding of happiness is also different from ours. He wants to use his future identity to make the people who looked down on him regret. He wants to return to the village after he has money and show it off.
But he can't figure out other ways to make money faster, so he takes the risk. Through his words in the gambling house, we can know how much resentment he has for the people in the village. It can be said that his hatred is monstrous. "
Zhang Xiaobao said with a sigh. He could actually understand. It was just like when he was taking revenge on others. When he was wronged, he would not seek any legal support. He could not fight against the power of others, but he could do it more directly. He could not represent the law, but he had his own scales.
The most direct reason for this situation was that the people who enforced the law were people, not machines. People could not get rid of social relations, and the importance of human resources was well reflected.
Wang Juan also sighed and said, "So Liu Feng chose a different path. He did not use direct force to kill the people in the village who looked down on him. In the village, he had an inferiority complex. After he came out, he was confident. He was better than you at that time. He did not challenge the country's law. "
"Don't drag me into this. He's probably just discriminated against because of economic pressure. It's not that he was beaten up by the county magistrate. If it's the latter, do you think the current law enforcement department of Tang Empire will let the county magistrate off?
What about me? If it was also the county magistrate who beat me, what do you think the consequences would be if I went to complain? You still have the nerve to mention this kind of thing.
If someone broke the law against me and I went to complain, then I would be suppressed or even persecuted. If it was more serious, I would disappear. In order to avoid this situation, I used other means to take revenge. I was breaking the law, and then no one helped me to suppress or excuse me.
Does it mean that the best way is for me to choose to endure? Otherwise, I would be a bad person, a person who endangers public safety, a person who does not know strategy, a person who crosses the street like a rat who is hated by everyone. In fact, I am worse than a rat, because no one cares whether the rat crosses the street or not. "
Zhang Xiaobao was angry when he talked about this kind of thing. It seemed that after being bullied, he had to do things according to other people's rules. Otherwise, it was wrong, and other people's rules were to protect other people's interests.
"So Liu Feng is a very good person." Wang Juan sighed and blamed herself for bringing up this topic. She couldn't possibly change the mentality that Zhang Xiaobao had developed over a long period of time. Although it was extreme, it depended on the strength one had. When one's strength reached a certain level, then it was no longer extreme, but the truth.
At that time, although Zhang Xiaobao couldn't become the Truth, he could make it so that you couldn't use the Truth to deal with him. At the same time, he could also make a move on the people who protected the Truth, then hide in other places that didn't agree with your Truth.
"Yes, it's very good." Zhang Xiaobao did not continue to talk about this old topic. He was only occasionally touched and felt uncomfortable. This was also the reason why he encouraged Li Longji to spend a lot of money every year to send waves of inspectors to different places. He had been wronged and suffered injustice, so he wanted to try his best to let people who were in the same situation as him suffer less. In this regard, he could not be the world, he only represented himself.
After drinking the soup in the bowl, Zhang Xiaobao stood up and said to Wang Juan, who was helping him dry his body, "What makes me most gratified is that Liu Feng is still protecting this country, or this regime, when he wants to take revenge on the villagers.
If he is willing, I believe he can find a way to sell restricted goods of Tang Dynasty to Duoshi, like the Chen family. But he chose to cheat people of Duoshi, risking his life. Not only is he cheating people of their money, but he is also considering cheating people of their lives.
You know the shop I opened after I came back, right? There are a lot of things in it. Actually, I don't intend to sell them at all. The things I want to sell are all ordinary things that don't require high technology. For example, slightly higher precision rulers, compasses, protractors, and so on.
Also, I don't only sell them to children. If the craftsmen want to buy them, they will also sell them. If the tools are not uniform, there will be a big difference in the products produced, which will affect the overall craftsmen of society.
In the future, if any craftsmen invent something good, we will buy it directly. If the craftsmen do not have high technology, we will make a finished product and help them sell it. Even if it is a child who invented it, it will be the same. When the stationery box is sold, I will sign an agreement with Xiaobei and the others to share the technology patent.
This will be a great boost to Tang Dynasty's technological research. It is too slow to only rely on the rewards given by the Ministry of Works for craftsmen. As for the phenomenon of imitation, I have considered it carefully. We can imitate the theory, but we cannot completely imitate the appearance. Also, every imitation must have a little bit of its own technology. If not, we will investigate and punish severely. What do you think? "
After he finished speaking, Wang Juan dried Zhang Xiaobao's body. He did not return to the master bedroom. Instead, he slept on the bed in the study that was neither a study nor a side bedroom.
Wang Juan covered Zhang Xiaobao with the blanket and sat at the head of the bed. She looked at Zhang Xiaobao who was lying there and said, "I understand what you mean. If the person who imitates wants to avoid the law, he has to add in his own technology. When he adds in the technology, the technology will belong to him. If others want to imitate, they will have to change the technology.
In this way, as time passes, all kinds of technology will appear among the people, which is very beneficial to the overall development of our country. Let me add that the craftsmen now do not have many requirements for patents. They have always wanted to use their own means to keep it a secret.
If you have to say that there is a requirement, it is best to write their name on the patent. The person who invented it will be named. Many foreigners are like this. The name of the thing is actually a person's name or an abbreviation of a person's name.
"If it is done, the craftsmen will be very happy. In addition to the rules you set, if we help them sell it in the early stages, they will be able to earn a lot of money. Especially when they use our name, that will be a brand. "When the craftsmen's income increases, they will consciously continue to invest in research to earn more money and gain a greater reputation.
"Fame and profit, I have not found anyone who does not need it. The foundation of a country's development is to increase the production of profit and fame. At the same time, it is to maintain the rules of fame and profit. It is very stable, but it is very difficult because any rule has a loophole. There are many people who want to break the rules.
"Alright, I have already thought of it. You are planning to let Liu Feng be in charge of this, right? His luck is really good. He can go to a gambling den and meet Xiaobei and the others who are shopping. There are many people like him in the world, but not everyone has the same luck as him. Hey, are you asleep? "
As Wang Juan spoke, she saw that Zhang Xiaobao was not moving. His breathing had become even and his eyes were closed. She started to get angry. Who was she talking to?
"No." Zhang Xiaobao opened his eyes. "I am thinking about how to deal with it the day after tomorrow. We will start fighting tomorrow. Will they come to assassinate us? The people who are keeping watch over there have not sent back any news. What should we do? "
"Wait, what else can we do? They probably won't come. Let's take the initiative to go there. Which of the guards in the house has not killed before? We can go there and kill a few to train our courage. But if we don't catch them and then train, many people will not be able to get past the psychological barrier. If there are many of them hiding in the mountains, we can catch them to repair the road. "
Wang Juan felt that the guards in the house had been too idle recently. A small portion of them had not participated in battles. No matter how harsh the training was, it would not be enough.
Zhang Xiaobao reached out and hugged Wang Juan's waist. "Madam, you are so thoughtful. Alright, I will listen to you. I do want Liu Feng to be in charge. Now that the magical stationery stores are opening in the central cities of various states, he will be in charge of being a deputy in Yizhou before he is trained.
I admire his patriotism. There are many advanced things in the stationery store. After he saw it, he directly blocked the door of my store. He clearly knows that I am in contact with the Zhang Family and the Wang Family, but he still righteously scolded me.
Human nature is like this. He has his own shortcomings, but he also has his own merits. I don't care about his shortcomings. I only use his merits. Of course, if he can slowly get rid of some of his shortcomings, that will be better.
Doesn't he want to be outstanding? I will give him a chance. When there is a need, I will vigorously promote it. I will say that he is not afraid of difficulties and dangers. He fought with the enemy with wisdom and courage. With the support of his patriotism, he won the battle at that level. He is a hero.
A hero who comes from an ordinary family but dares to do anything for the Tang Empire. His opposite is the Chen Family. The Chen Family is rich, but they can never be compared with Liu Feng. Liu Feng is more important than a goose feather, while the Chen Family is less important than Mount Tai. "
"What nonsense is this? Is there a saying that the Chen Family is more important than a goose feather? You are brainwashing. I agree. If the ruling class doesn't brainwash them, they will be robbed by the ruling class. "
Wang Juan smiled and patted Zhang Xiaobao's hand. She stood up and said, "You continue to sleep. I am going to see Xiaobei and the others. It seems that you can't eat lunch. What are you going to eat for dinner?"
"I will cook dinner after I wake up. Go, go. Oh, there is also the Fan Family. You should also contact them and provide them with money. Let them do a good job in road construction and management. He is also very good."
Zhang Xiaobao waved his hand and retracted his arm. He leaned inwards and hugged part of the quilt to sleep.
He had this habit of hugging the quilt to sleep. Even in summer, he needed a thin quilt to cover himself. After the quilt warmed up, he would turn over and continue hugging the other side because it was cooler.
*****
On the road to the west of Yizhou City, about 40 miles away, there were more than 10 connected houses by the roadside. All of them were built with wood.
As noon approached, more and more people came from both sides of the road. Many people would habitually look up at the sky when they saw the houses, looking for the position of the sun. Then they would find a place under the shed outside.
Some people directly took out money and ordered food. Some people even drank. Generally speaking, people who came from the west drank because there were only a few dozen miles left. At the end of the road was Yizhou City, where they could have a good rest.
There were also people who didn't have money at all. They just took out some fried noodles from their bags. They were dry fried and didn't want to use oil. If oil was used to fry noodles, it would waste a lot of oil. There was only a little bit of salt in it.
These people didn't order food. They just greeted the waiter and asked for a bowl of water. People who walked this road often knew that the hot water at the Fan Family's stall didn't cost money.
If they really didn't have money or food, they would give them a steamed bun when they saw that they only had water. One steamed bun wasn't enough to fill their stomachs, but it could prevent them from starving to death. They could persevere until they reached the city.
When they reached the city, they didn't have to worry about starving to death. They could just go to the local government office and ask them to find a suitable job for them to feed themselves.
"Old Fan, give us a jar of yellow wine and some hot dishes. Serve the cold dishes first. We'll drink." Three people came from the west. Each of them was in charge of two mules.
Familiar people could tell at a glance that the three people didn't travel too far. Moreover, they chose the right path. Otherwise, one person wouldn't be able to watch two mules.
The three people were dressed the same, but they were definitely not relatives. The most common thing was that each of them had a full beard. Obviously, because it was difficult to wash them on the road, their beards had stuck together into strands.
One of the people with a black mole under his left eye shouted at the person in charge of collecting money. They seemed to be very familiar with each other. Otherwise, they would normally call each other waiter.
The person who was shouted at was the head of the Fan Family that Zhang Xiaobao saw yesterday. He stayed at the stall to take care of the accounts and collect money. The person in charge of the accounts had gone to do other things.
When he saw the three people, he revealed a warm smile and said, "Second Brother Dou, it seems that you guys are rich this time. The last few times you came here, you couldn't bear to spend money on wine, let alone hot dishes. You guys can handle a bowl of noodles. How about four dishes?"
"Six, four is too little. Four cold dishes. Old Fan, it's not that I want to criticize you, but look at the restaurants in the city. When customers come, they serve cold dishes first. There are also a few small plates that are free. Why don't you prepare some?"
The person who was called Second Brother Dou unbuttoned two buttons on his collar and sat there boldly. He laughed and teased the head of the Fan Family.
"Oh, isn't this the second son of the Dou Family, Dou Qiong? Why, are you so poor now that you want to eat for free?" Before the people of the Fan Family could speak, someone at the table next to them interrupted. Judging from his tone, he was also familiar with Second Brother Dou.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly regretted it. Because there were two people, one old and one young, who were also poor, in front of each of them was a steamed bun, a bowl of hot water, and a plate of pickles. Real pickles, not cold dishes.
According to him, these two people were eating for free. His words struck a blow to everyone. He hesitated, but seeing that the old and young people didn't even raise their heads, he didn't have the nerve to deliberately apologize. However, his face clearly turned red.
"I'll say it again. My name is not Qiong, it's Qiong. It's very delicate. You said that I'm eating for free, so I'll eat for once. Today, you have to treat each table to a dish. Otherwise, you'll have to say what you said."
Dou Qiong also glanced at the old and young people, then said to the person who just spoke.
"Of course, I'll definitely treat, but the dishes won't do. The head of the Fan Family doesn't have enough hands, so it's troublesome to cook. Let's just have a bowl of wonton each. Those of you who ordered other things, like wine, I won't care."
The person nodded at Dou Qiong gratefully. This was a chance to apologize. Otherwise, based on what he said just now, those who knew him today would laugh at him when they saw him in the future. The old and young people didn't provoke him, so why did he have to criticize them? Who didn't have difficulties?
The head of the Fan Family, Fan Qiteng, also quickly followed. "Today's wonton is different from other times. I've been taught by an expert, so when I got up in the morning to prepare the ingredients, I specially made a bowl and tasted it. The taste is simply amazing. Xiao Ba, each person has a bowl of wonton. Those who order and drink wait until they're almost done eating."
The waiter, Xiao Ba, was very perceptive. He immediately agreed and immediately put two bowls of wonton into the pot. After boiling for a while, he took out the wonton and put it into the bowls. Then, he added the ingredients according to the method Zhang Xiaobao taught him yesterday. The bone broth was mixed, and the aroma was overflowing. He sprinkled some coriander and chopped green onions on top and carried it to the old and young people's tables.
"Old Master, give me some face. Someone insisted on treating us. It's hot, so take your time." The waiter was very good at talking.
The old man looked at the two bowls in front of him and then looked at his grandson who was looking up at him. He touched his grandson's head and said, "Eat, this uncle is treating us. In the future, if you have the ability, you can go and help others. Today, we have to travel more. When we get to the city, you can go to school. I'll go to the yamen and ask them to arrange a job for us.
"Old Master, where did you come from? It seems that you have traveled a lot. "The person who was treating them saw that the old man understood everything, so he greeted him.
"In the west, the child's parents came out to look for work. I heard that they went to Henan Province. There are only mountains in my hometown, so it's close to the border. I brought my grandson and didn't want to wait any longer. It's hard to send a message. So, I came here first. When I have enough money, I'll go there to look for his parents. Thank you very much. "
The old man explained his situation and thanked the person.
"Don't thank me. It's not a big deal. You also had difficulties on the road. When you get to the city, it'll be fine. People like you don't need to look for work at all. When you go to the yamen, just tell them where you are and the yamen will arrange a place to take care of you.
You don't have to worry about the little ones. When they get to the school in the city, there will be someone to take care of them immediately. I'm familiar with this. First, they need to take a bath. If they can eat, they can eat. If they are tired, they can choose a place to sleep. When they wake up, they will have new clothes. As long as they are in the school, their food and clothes are better than what we usually eat.
Many businessmen are willing to invest in the school. Compared to them, my situation is nothing. When I came over, I heard that Xiao Bao and the others had arrived. Maybe Xiaobei and the others will go there and let your grandson meet them. "
The person who was treating them continued, as if he was saying that it was a blessing for his grandson to meet Xiaobei and the others.
"I heard." The old man continued, "I heard about it on the way here. When I was at the front, the yamen even gave me money. I didn't come out and took the wrong path. In the end, I took a big detour and spent the money. I didn't get to the place, but many people helped me along the way.
This place is better than my place. There is no yamen to manage my place. There is no yamen at all. Along the way, I heard people praising Xiao Bao and Cuckoo, as well as their younger siblings. "
"Praising is the right thing to do. Who dares not to praise? The relief area in the yamen was built according to their request. There is also the school for the elderly. The school was originally called … what was it called again? "The person forgot as he spoke.
"It was started in Baoxin County. It was called Operation Chaoyang. At that time, Xiao Bao and Cuckoo were still young. They had just finished leading the army and returned to become officials. That was when they started. Until now, there are businessmen in all the places in Great Tang that we go.
A few days ago, I heard that Xiaobei was angry because there was a Tonghua County in Maozhou that only had the yamen's kindergarten. The conditions were very poor, and there were no good schools funded by good businessmen.
Therefore, Xiaobei said that he wouldn't force the businessmen to fork out money. Wherever there was no school funding, their precious candy house would take care of it. However, in the future, even if the local businessmen wanted to fork out money, he wouldn't give them a chance. Old Fan, don't you think so? I heard that you fork out a lot of money. "
Dou Qiong drank a big mouthful of wine to help replenish her drink. She even talked about something new and treated it as news.
The grandfather and grandson came from afar, so they really didn't know what was so great about Xiaobei. From what he said, it seemed that he had to give them a chance to pay.
Therefore, the old man asked in confusion, "If they don't fork out money, they will take their lives? Is it very important for Xiaobei to give them a chance? "
"They don't want their lives." Fan Qiteng, who was named, said with a smile, "As long as you don't make any mistakes, no one will take your life. There won't be any bad consequences, and your business won't be suppressed.
However, from now on, all the businessmen in that place will be recorded by Xiaobei and the others. In the future, they won't look for you if there's anything good. Moreover, once you commit a crime, they might come to arrest you personally. Once they catch you, they'll finish you off.
Even if you have the ability to complain to the morning court of Hanyuan Palace Hall, no one, from the Emperor to the ministers, will say a word for you.
My family really doesn't fork out a lot of money. Every month, we get about 70 strings of coins. It's not that I don't want to give more, but the school doesn't need that much money. There are other people who will pay. I've always believed that in this world, there is a return on investment. It seems that there is no return on investment, but in fact, that's not the case.
For example, according to my normal family wealth, I can get a loan of 10,000 strings of coins from the bank. However, when I asked, they said that I can get 15,000 strings of coins because I'm paying for the school. They are looking at your character and reputation. A person who cares so much for children, I believe that he can't be bad. "
Fan Qiteng described the treatment he received to prove the relationship between investment and return.
While everyone was discussing national affairs, a few fast horses came from the west and came directly to the stall. The people on the horses dismounted. The first person looked at Fan Qiteng and asked, "Are you Fan Qiteng of Yizhou's Fan family?"
"Yes, you are …" Fan Qiteng was puzzled.
"I'm the manager of Yizhou's Tang bank. Yesterday, the young master met with you and instructed us to provide you with a low-interest, high-limit loan. He said that you have the ability to repay and that there is no problem with your reputation. If you're not busy, come with us to sign the contract."
The person who came had a businesslike appearance.
"Young master? Your family? Xiao Bao? Yesterday? Yesterday, the one who said that they would go sightseeing was Xiao Bao? "After hearing this, Fan Qiteng suddenly shouted in surprise.
The others looked at Fan Qiteng enviously. They thought that investment really did pay off, and it came so directly and so quickly.
