Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

In the capital city, in the imperial palace, a certain prince was reading a letter from Xiangcheng. Since the certain prince went to Xiangcheng, the emperor decided to hand over the shop in Xiangcheng to his son, earning money from the prince. If the private treasury is lost, the prince will be charged to make up for it.Recently, the prince has been pestering the eunuchs who run the various shops for his father every day, and he has various dislikes for Li Sushan, who was called into the palace by his father to accompany him.

The letter said that the crabs that Wang Xiujin raised in the field were missed by others, and he went to steal the crabs late at night, destroying a lot of rice and crabs that were about to grow, and mentioned how Tiwang Village was punished, in the eyes of the prince. It's still light, these people were arrested when they were killed, and they saved themselves from committing crimes outside.People are eccentric, and the prince has a good impression of the Wang family brothers, so he naturally sided with them. "Su Shan, if your friend is bullied by others, what should you do?"

"This... If you just look at it from the perspective of an outsider, Cao Min will say that you have to ask the truth before making a decision, but if it happens to you, Cao Min will help your friend." Li Sushan had no expression on his face. , the tone of voice is smooth without ups and downs, making it impossible to find any emotional changes from him.

"Don't ask what's wrong?" The prince felt that Li Sushan's words were too tactful.

"Caomin has never experienced such a thing, and probably will do so. From the perspective of an outsider, maybe he will be on the wrong side. If it is not reasonable, it will definitely make people sympathize."

"why?"

"Probably people's hearts will involuntarily sympathize with the weaker party. It is obviously unreasonable, but if he is weak, it will arouse the sympathy of others."

The prince didn't answer, just pondered. He felt that what Li Sushan said made sense, and he put himself in his shoes. If he didn't know it, he would probably be biased towards the weak side. Such a person is smart and hateful. mentally, to achieve their desired results.The prince found Li Sushan pleasing to the eye, not as annoying as before.

In Wang Village, Xiangcheng, Wang Laoliu stood at the gate, looking at a group of people kneeling on the ground crying and wiping their tears.Since the two sons returned to the village, the sixth son didn't care about anything else. He just copied and wrote notes every day, and called the eldest son to test him from time to time.It was a coincidence that the sixth child heard the crying sound. He went out of the house to the hut. Hearing the sound of crying in the hut startled him and wet his shoes.Being an official these years, Wang Laoliu has also become a bit particular. Things like urinating shoes are absolutely unacceptable. Staring at the shoes, Wang Laoliu's mood is very ugly.

"I'm not dead yet! What are you crying about?" They haven't been out these days, and the two sons don't say much when they come back. Naturally, the sixth son doesn't know what happened to his field.Wang Laoliu's official airs are quite bluffing.The family who were crying very "seriously" just now were frightened by the aura of the sixth child, and they hesitated in their hearts. Such crying really made the sixth grandpa not care about it. Thinking of the person who gave them advice, they felt that it should be reliable.

"Grandpa Six, the grandson knows he was wrong, and he never dares to steal crabs again." Crying loudly, he admitted his mistake, not for the brother's going to corvee, but for the compensation of ten taels, they also gave it up, ten taels ah!If you save a little, it will be enough for them to spend for three years.

"Stealing crabs?" Lao Liu looked at several people, "Since it is stealing, why are you still here and not taken away by the yamen servants." Lao Liu has lived in his hometown for many years, but since he became an official, he has focused on laws and regulations , I didn't think of the ancestral hall for a while.

The whole family was frightened by the sixth grandfather's reaction. This person can still come out of the yamen and live, and he feels a little resentful towards the person who gave them advice. Is this helping them or harming them?Think about that person's usual appearance, it's not that he is more familiar with that family, why didn't he tell that person if he had a good idea, but told them instead?Is it to make them the shuttle of the head?

The family was shocked, and a little bit stupid. What should they do now? Grandpa Six didn't say what they expected. The punishment has passed, my younger brother has already been punished, and he is still lying on the bed, he will not be able to go to the corvee tomorrow no matter what, and the family does not have much savings."

When it came to the clan, Lao Liu just remembered that in the village there were few reports to officials, and the punishment was more according to the clan, "Since the clan has said how to punish, let's do it, or do you think the clan's treatment is unfair? Injustice should not be found out. Here, I will talk to the village chief, and then the clan will make a decision." Lao Liu has always claimed to be an upright official, so naturally he has to put on a business-like attitude, even if it involves himself, he will not show favoritism.Therefore, running to Prime Minister Wang's house and crying will not get the desired result.

The family is completely dumbfounded.

Wang Laoliu looked at the family who were still kneeling stupidly, and frowned slightly, "If not, you should report to the officials!" Lao Liu also pointed out the way for the other party, "If the county magistrate said If the treatment is too severe, the clan will change its mind." Lao Liu didn't know how the clan would deal with these people, but it didn't prevent him from making a judgment. "Don't come here and cry again." After speaking, Lao Liu flicked his sleeves and left, closing the door behind him.

The family outside the door was completely dumbfounded, what to do.

In the yard, the two brothers looked at their father who closed the door, and they were also dumbfounded.I just heard Sister Liu talk about the incident outside the door, and said that the master opened the door to go out, and the two ran out immediately, afraid that the father would forgive each other, and then the other families would come to the door soon, and the matter of punishment became joke.When the two arrived in the yard, they just heard their father say "not taken away by the yamen servants", so they stopped their steps, and the more they heard it, the more they didn't agree with what they thought. They were relieved, but they were also stupid. There are some discrepancies.

The sixth child looked at the two sons and asked them to follow him in. Now that he knew, he had to ask what happened. He said that he would leave the family affairs to them. ask.

The two brothers told the whole story. Of course, they didn't know the misunderstanding at this time. They only knew that one of them was caught by the crab. As for the situation of the other companies, they didn't know very well.

The sixth child nodded after listening, "This matter will be dealt with according to what the clan said. After today's incident, no one will come to find it again. If someone comes, they will go to the clan elder who was present at that time. It’s convenient to show up again, and although you are a generation older than others, it’s not easy to get ahead.” The sixth child gave some advice to his son, and then began to test and teach the two of them their homework.

There were quite a few people present at the bustle at the gate of Wang Laoliu's house. The people kneeling and crying in that family looked pitiful, but the people in the village didn't know who they were, and they didn't have much sympathy for that family, and felt that Lao Liu was right. If the clan makes a decision and goes to other people's houses to make troubles, then it doesn't mean that the clan is treated unfairly. If this is the case, you can either go to the clan elder or go to the county government. Was it in vain to let them harm the rice in the field?In the countryside, no matter how much money the sideline business can make, everyone attaches great importance to the things produced in the field. Even if the harvest is not a star and a half, they still think it is very important.

Soon the village head and clan elders got the letter. They were very disgusted with the family who ran to the door of Lao Liu's house and cried. Just like what Lao Liu said, did they feel that the punishment was unfair?Serious?Do you deny their identities?Although they all guessed that the family who ran to cry wanted Lao Liu to speak out to avoid punishment, but if Lao Liu did speak up, what would become of them who made the decision at that time?Although the patriarch and the village chief are not officials, they still have authority within the family. What do those people want to do?

On the last day of the deadline, the village head went to the six houses respectively.Originally, the village chief didn't need to make a trip, but after what happened yesterday, he felt it was necessary to make a trip.

Wang Xiujin didn't pay special attention to the situation of the six families. The six families were the hottest topic of conversation in the village these days. They didn't need to ask them specifically, someone would take the initiative to say a few words, who couldn't get out of bed, whose family Whoever blooms, whose family... In short, the women all have topics to chat with, and they are very happy to communicate.

After seeing the big crab that day, Wang Xiujin was greedy. In ancient times, everything he ate was authentic, unlike what he ate in his previous life, which was rich in various harmful chemical ingredients.Wang Xiujin was going to catch a few crabs, cook them at home, and see if they had grown.While catching, I still don’t forget the various ways to make up crabs. Now that I have someone who can cook at home, it can be said that I want to eat something. Even if it’s a dish that Sister Liu has never heard of or cooked, just say I have mentioned the method, and I would like to mention a few words by the way, Sister Liu can also make a similar dish that tastes good.

Standing on the ground, Wang Xiubo said worriedly, "Be careful! If you don't come up, I'll go down and catch you." Wang Xiubo regretted that he was one step behind his younger brother, and kept walking back and forth with his heart in his arms.With the man who was caught before, Wang Xiubai was a little afraid of crabs.

"It looks quite big, but I don't know what's inside." Wang Xiujin picked up a crab, and quickly tied it up with a hemp rope.In his previous life, before the end of the world, he once went to the farmhouse with his friends to catch crabs. Seeing the owner of the farmhouse fast tying crabs, he learned it on purpose. At that time, his friends laughed at him, but he didn’t expect it to be really useful now.

Wang Xiubo was startled by his younger brother's fast tying of crabs, he opened his mouth and didn't say that he would not be caught, but told his younger brother to be careful.

After catching [-] crabs in one go, Wang Xiujin went to the ground. Not all of these crabs were taken home to eat by himself, and some were given away to others.If in later generations, it would be unreasonable to give one or two farmed crabs, but it is not the case now. It is quite precious to give two crabs to others, and it will make the other party feel that they are valued by others.

The village head's family gave three crabs, and the other clan's hometowns gave two. The rest of the crabs were taken home. Except for the mother who was taking medicine, the family couldn't eat it, so it happened to be one for each person, even if there was nothing to eat in it. , and let everyone have a taste.
