Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

It is impossible to know what is going on in Beijing in Wangcun, Xiangcheng.In the village, the villagers are doing farm work in full swing. Since they got the cultivator, the villagers have all the energy to go to the field.Although a cultivator is good, it is not a panacea. For example, muddy rice and sweet potatoes cannot be sown with a cultivator. Even so, every household in the village has a cultivator for themselves.

Tillers were promoted very quickly in Wu County, and Shangguan arrived in Wu County with his reputation.In the past, imperial edicts were issued and rewards came down. Officials along the way could intercept the flow, and when they reached the inventors, nine out of ten would need broken coins. If they encountered big greed, they might not even have broken coins.This time it was different, the emperor didn't know what to think, and sent his entourage and things to follow the officials, to see with his own eyes how the cultivator was used to sow seeds, and to find the person who invented it.

The officials who originally wanted to be greedy for merit did not receive any money, and could only see the money flying into the pockets of others. They were naturally upset, but they did not dare to conceal their achievements.From the prefect to the county magistrate, all gathered in Wangcun, Wu County.When I arrived at Wangcun personally, I remembered that this was not the hometown of the former Prime Minister Wang.When we saw Tian Ding and Wang Xiubo at the village chief's house, the attendants immediately put on a smile, "Our family felt that we had heard the name of this place somewhere along the way, and only remembered it when we saw the two young masters. The prime minister is doing well now!"

"Eunuch Lao is concerned, my father is now an idle old man, but he is in good spirits." Wang Xiubai bowed to his relatives, and also to the magistrate and others.The magistrate was terrified. How could he not know that the prime minister was in his territory.

Tian Ding followed behind his elder brother, saluting one by one, complaining about the ancient system in his heart, Nima, kneeling at every turn, really needs to bring "kneeling is easy".

After chatting with Wang Xiubai for a few words, Qin Sui and Wang Xiubo changed the topic to Tilling Machine. When they heard that Tien Ding had come up with Tien Ding, Qin Sui and the officials who came with him were all surprised, no one would be a child.The follower hurriedly asked Tian Ding what he thought, and the corners of Tian Ding's mouth twitched, why did he feel like he was being interviewed by a reporter?

"At the beginning, I didn't think much about it. My brother went to the field to sow seeds. He couldn't wield a hoe or turn the land. The grass people thought that if there was something for the parents to work for, it would save my brother from the pain of plowing the land." Tian Ding replied with a serious face, and followed everyone. Zan brothers and brothers are respectful.Afterwards, he personally read out the imperial decree and gave rewards. Finally, the village head led the way to see how the tiller was working, and then followed the officials to leave. From the beginning to the end, he never said that he wanted to see the former prime minister.Before leaving, Tian Dingsai gave his father-in-law a purse with not much money in it, just to express his gratitude.The follower did not refuse, which made Tian Ding heave a sigh of relief, don't underestimate the father-in-law, not everyone can follow the emperor.

A nobleman came to Wang Village, Wang Laoliu naturally heard some news, at first Tian Ding was also worried that his father would rush out suddenly, Fang was awake for a full term, if he aroused his thoughts again, it would be hard to extinguish.Tian Ding was worried, and Wang Xiubo was also worried. Sitting in the yard with two older dogs, Wang Xiuyun, who was walking around with poultry cubs, looked worried, and glanced at the door from time to time, afraid that his father would open the door and come out the next moment. .

Wang Laoliu walked around the room leisurely, no one knew what he was thinking, whether he really woke up and stopped dreaming about being an official, or hibernated and exploded when he waited.

The unexpected calm at home relieved all three juniors. In the house of the county magistrate in Wu County, the head of the dinner table was accompanied by the emperor, and the prefect of Xiangcheng sat on both sides with several important officials. I didn't know about it before, but it was a crime. Now that I know it, I need to personally mention one or two points about how to deal with it.If the emperor still wants to use the prime minister again, he will hold it now, and there is no room for any mistakes. If the former prime minister has no power to turn around, then it is a different way of doing things.

Qin Sui's heart was clear, seeing the magistrate's smile did not reach his eyes, the magistrate hurriedly stuffed a few bank notes into Qin Sui's hand, Qin Sui narrowed his eyes, and said after a long while: "Before our family left Beijing, the emperor was still in the court hall. Mention the marriage of the prime minister's youngest son." It's just that the emperor is jealous of General Li.Who let the prime minister fall into the eyes of his followers, wanting to protect one or two, not to mention his words are not false.

The prefect took a deep breath and hurriedly poured wine for his entourage.

Tian Ding didn't know what was going on in the county, so he and his elder brother put away the rewards from the emperor. As for the money, the two of them hid part of it, and the other part, Tian Ding was going to buy crab seedlings, and the rest of the money, Tim Ding was going to make some simple tables chairs, get another car, and plan to set up a stall in the city to sell buns after the spring plowing is over.

When serving dishes in the evening, they saw the smile on their father's face. The two brothers were worried. They didn't see what their father said until after dinner. They hesitated whether to tell their father about the reward. Then they thought that most people in the village Knowing that the above rewarded things, I also saw them carrying cloth and Ruyi out. As for the money, it was hidden by the two brothers at that time, and I also explained to the village chief that it would not be known to outsiders, even though everyone in the village had the same surname. The people of the world are all related by blood in their bones, but the heart of guarding against others is indispensable.After the two hesitated for a while, Wang Xiubo went to his parents' house and told the elders about the matter. He said what should be said, but Wang Xiubai chose to conceal the money that should not be said.Whether his father would be suspicious, Wang Xiubai said he didn't care, he believed that his father would not speak out.

Among the crabs of later generations, the hairy crab is the most famous one. I don’t know what kinds of crabs there are today, but it is certain that some people eat crabs.Or are myriads edible?

Whether it is breeding or planting, it is necessary to explore for Tianding. Putting the two together rashly is a risk and a gamble. If it is done well, it may be a huge profit. Drink rice soup.

With money in the family, they seem to have confidence. Tian Ding and his eldest brother went to the city again on the market day. The matter of the crab seedlings still needs someone's help.Before entering the city, Tian Ding went to the village head to ask if there were crabs in the village river, and proposed to raise crabs in the rice fields.

Before there was no tillage machine, the village chief would never have agreed with Tianding to set up a rice and crab field. After listening to it now, not only did he not say no, but he strongly supported it. In Wuxian County, there are only big households among the big households, who can eat crabs every year after autumn.The conclusion is no crabs. No crabs means no seedlings. Even if there is a market, there are no seedlings. It is better not to be whimsical, but to farm honestly.

Tian Ding pretended not to understand. No seedling here does not mean no seedling elsewhere, so Tian Ding thought of the grocery store.

Meat noodles and other items are easy to buy, but it is not easy to talk about crab seedlings with the shopkeeper of the grocery store. Tianding went into the grocery store and directly told the shop assistant that he wanted to talk to the shopkeeper about business.The clerk was very clever, and led the two to sit down in the side hall. After pouring two cups of tea, he asked the two to wait a while before going to find the shopkeeper.The two had just taken a sip of their tea when the shopkeeper approached, "I don't know what business you two are talking about."

"I want to find some crab seedlings. I wonder if the shopkeeper is interested?" Wang Xiubai didn't go around in circles, and when he came, his younger brother said that he just went straight.

"Crab seedlings?" The shopkeeper looked at the two of them, "You two want to raise crabs?" As far as he knows, the crabs that are paid for tribute every year are caught in the river, and they are all wild, and no one specializes in raising crabs.

"Yes." Wang Xiubai got up and cupped his hands, "I hope the shopkeeper will help you."

"This matter..."

"As far as the shopkeeper is concerned, it is not a loss. When the crab grows, we will supply it to the shopkeeper first." Wang Xiubai threw out the bait, and his younger brother said that if it is cultivated, it can be sold at a high price in Wu County alone. Worry about selling.

The shopkeeper didn't respond, he was thinking about possible things, and saw that the two brothers seemed sure to raise the crabs, and when they grew up, they would resell the crabs for a profit.All you need to find crab seedlings is manpower and the cost of transporting them. "How much do you two want to charge?"

Wang Xiubai wanted to be more conservative in raising them in the first year, but Tian Ding didn't think so. Raising less does not mean the survival rate, and there are two acres of top-notch fields, and the place is large. If you don't raise more, you will feel bad.The two finally settled on half.

"Counting the cost of dealings, the total is three taels, and a deposit of one tael must be paid first." The shopkeeper was very happy, and immediately quoted the price.

"Taller."

"It's not high, I'll cover the whole job, and if one dies, the deposit will be refunded."

"Two or two."

"Three taels, no two prices." The shopkeeper did not let go of the dead price.

"Two liang, shopkeeper, you have to think about the long-term business we are doing. When it comes time to collect crabs, don't you want to pay the same price as others?"

Wang Xiubai and the shopkeeper were at odds with each other, and Tian Ding drank the tea calmly. The tea was good, why didn't he find out before, and the elder brother was really good at haggling.In the end, the shopkeeper was persuaded by Wang Xiubo, and he settled the deal at a price of [-] taels, with a deposit of [-] yuan, and the crab seedlings would be sent to Wangcun within ten days.

After the two came out of the grocery store, Tim Ding gave his elder brother a thumbs up.Wang Xiubai puffed up his chest, feeling a sense of pride. The two of them didn't know that the cost of the crab seedlings shipped by the shopkeeper was only the deposit, and the rest was pure profit.

Having settled the matter on their minds, the two quickly went to the market to buy noodles and meat, bought network cables, and went back to ask someone to weave a dense net to prevent crabs from crawling out.After walking around a lot, I bought everything. On the way back, Tim Ding was thinking about transplanting rice seedlings. Neither he nor his elder brother were proficient in farming. The crab seedlings were delivered within ten days. They needed to move the rice seedlings quickly. When I got to the paddy field, I was afraid I had to ask someone for help.

Back home, putting aside his worries, Tian Ding concentrated on preparing buns for everyone.The noodles were kneaded together by the two brothers, and the meat was stamped by the eldest brother. After stamping, Wang Xiubai kept rubbing his arms, and Tian Ding hurriedly asked the elder sister to scoop out hot water, rub a wet cloth, and let the elder brother apply the hot compress by himself. By tomorrow, the elder brother might not be able to lift his arm, and he might struggle to hold things.

Wang Xiuyun, who always wanted to help, moved quickly. The wooden basin was heavy, and it became heavier after adding water. Her hands were weak and her feet were unstable. Wang Xiuyun leaned forward, and she rushed forward, which frightened the two brothers.
