Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

Chapter 4



Four years have passed since Tian Ding caught the week. Five-year-old Tian Ding sat obediently in his study, listening to his elder brother enlighten him, talking about sages and literacy.After being away from the end of the world, Tianding has a lot of anxiety, feeling that the world is too mysterious and unreal. Take the dynasty he is in now, which is not in the historical dynasty he knows, and he has never even heard of the books his brother gave him for enlightenment. .

Before the apocalypse, Tian Ding was a person who completed more than ten years of campus education. The history he should know has never been left behind. Things broke his understanding, for example, the simplest grades of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, here are scholars, merchants, workers and farmers.Tian Ding stared at his brother for a long time, and then picked out his ears to make sure there was something wrong with his ears.Not to mention the enlightenment of "the beginning of man" and "threesomes" that he knows, which never appeared here at all.

Tian Ding is receiving a new and comprehensive enlightenment, and what he has learned is so tangled that Tian Ding's tongue is not straight.Wang Xiubo looked at his younger brother and kept touching his forehead. He can still remember how his younger brother was when he caught Zhou four years ago. He gave him the official seal, gave the book to his father, and put the book on the table. The account book was given to the younger sister, and the leftover snacks were given to the mother. The leftovers were all piled up together, and then the younger brother lay down directly... and fell asleep.At that time, everyone on the field was confused. I have never seen such greed and taking everything as their own.The matter of Tian Ding's catching Zhou is still being pointed out and talked about by people, and it is fun to listen to it.

The Enlightenment's Tian Ding was very serious. In ancient times, there were not many people who could study, and the cost of supporting a scholar at home was almost enough for a farmer to exchange tens of acres of high-quality fertile land.Of course, if you can obtain the qualifications of a scholar, you will be forced to pay taxes on a few acres of land in the family. If you win the Juren, there will be more tax-free land.If you can jump into the dragon gate and win the top one, no matter how many you are, stay for a few years, be assigned to be an official, and hang around for a few more years. If you are lucky, you will be promoted, and if you are unlucky, you will just stay there for the rest of your life!It doesn't mean that only Yijia has a way out. Those who can enter the palace test will basically have official luck, catch the emperor's eyes, and impress the emperor, and maybe they will rise to the top.

Reading can be said to be the first choice for farmers, especially under the current social structure, where farmers are at the bottom of society, and farmers want to raise a scholar to improve their status.

Tian Ding cherishes the opportunity of enlightenment reading very much. He needs to learn more about the society in which he lives. Although he is now a second-generation official, he cannot live on his parents all his life. He has to find something for himself in the future. He does not rely on his parents feed people.Tian Ding likes his parents in this life, but the previous life, to be precise, the life in the previous life has formed his independent character.Now before he grows up, he needs to accumulate knowledge, capital, and think about what to do in the future.To be a scholar, to be a general, or to be a businessman.

It's not that the backyard is ignorant of what's going on ahead, just like now, Tian Ding, who was sitting next to his mother, heard it. His mother asked in a low voice how the emperor was doing, and his father shook his head.Don't look at Mr. Wang as the current prime minister, but he is still worried at such a time.Tian Ding has never experienced the change of royal power, but he also knows several battles for imperial power. Imperial power is not given to whomever the emperor left his last words, whoever can hold it. Power is very attractive. No rebellion, what vassals, what ministers, it is not easy to be an emperor.

In the days that followed, Tian Ding would sometimes hear his parents talk about the emperor's body, and he usually followed his elder brother to enlightenment every day, and when his elder brother was studying with his husband, Tim Ding would also follow him.Then go!Tian Ding found a problem, his brother is 20 years old, he will be crowned soon, and the crowning ceremony will be held, but his brother is not yet married, nor does he have a new room.It feels so strange, Tian Ding wonders if his brother has a physical problem, otherwise why didn't he get married at the age of 20? Didn't he get married and have children early in ancient times?It is not a new society.Tianding couldn't understand the current society more and more.Tian Ding is curious, but he can't run to ask why he didn't get married!

A happy life is always short and easy to lose. When Tian Ding was studying with his brother, the sound of the death knell rang, the emperor passed away, and the whole country mourned.Everyone in the Wang family put on plain clothes, and tore off the red pair of blessings on the door of the house.Child Tianding changed his clothes and followed his mother. He felt that his mother seemed to be nervous.After thinking about it, Tian Ding probably guessed what was going on. His mother was worried about his father.The change of kingship will always be bloody.

After the death knell sounded, Mr. Wang never came back. The Wang residence was very calm on the surface, but there were many discussions in private.Especially Wu Ma's eyes rolled wildly, and she acted furtively, not knowing what she was doing.Tian Ding only looked at it a few times, and even secretly told his mother once. Mrs. Wang couldn't help frowning when she heard this. She knew that Wu Ma was so narrow-minded, greedy for money, and playing prestige.Ever since her youngest son was born, she has become less and less fond of Mama Wu. Thinking that she is an old man and has no one to rely on, she turns a blind eye. Behaving strangely, Mrs. Wang turned black.

Now that there is a national funeral, Mrs. Wang doesn't want to make a big deal at home, so she didn't squint her eyes. Mrs. Wang called the housekeeper, gave a few instructions, and then called Mama Wu, "Madam Wu, go outside and take a look at Zhuangzi. Feel uneasy."

"Don't worry, Ms. Wu Ma's work, Mama Wu will run for my mother." Mama Wu immediately agreed, she would not doubt the young lady, the young lady is soft-hearted, especially for her, as long as she does not step on the bottom line of the young lady, the young lady will not Comparing with her.Wu Ma was thinking about sending the money she got recently to her son.Wu Ma lied to Mrs. Wang, her son was not beaten to death by the debt collectors, if she hadn't lied back then, the family would have no one to rely on, and she wouldn't have returned to the mansion to work, and she would have been so leisurely and difficult. If she gets money, she will pay off her son's debt. Anyway, the master is the prime minister, so it is not easy to get money.Wang Ma would never have imagined that she would never return from this trip.

Tian Ding didn't know that his words cost one person's life. Even if he knew, he wouldn't think too much about it. People who have experienced the end times are cold-hearted.

The gate of the Wang's house was closed to thank the guests. Tian Ding followed his elder brother to read and write honestly at home. Hearing it made people feel dizzy. By the way, he also paid attention to whether anyone in the family was making small moves, but he found that only his mother was a little uneasy. His elder brother Neither he nor his sister had any reaction. It is understandable that his sister was raised in the back house and there was no reaction, but he is the eldest son of the family, so he should have an attitude no matter what.Holding his chin, he looked at the elder brother who was reading the contents of the book according to the script. Is the elder brother mature and calm?Or have you read too many books and become stupid?

Seven days, the first seven days after the death of the dead, the first emperor was buried on this day.From the emperor's death to the present, Mr. Wang has not returned to the mansion for seven whole days. Mrs. Wang has several bubbles in her mouth, but her face is still calm.Mrs. Wang waited, hoped, and waited for the master to come back after today.Mrs. Wang waited from morning to night, but there was no one.

"Mother." Tian Ding ran to his mother's room early in the morning, seeing Mrs. Wang's pale face, Tim Ding was so frightened that he hurried over to hold his mother's hand. "Mom, what's the matter?"

"Tian Ding is good, mother is fine." Mrs. Wang, who hadn't closed her eyes all night, patted her son's head, gritted her teeth and pretended to be calm. She had a very bad premonition that after the emperor was buried, the new emperor would ascend the throne. There is no news of the new emperor, and their master has not returned home.

Tian Ding didn't know how to comfort people. He was also worried about his father's situation now. He didn't know what the ministers would be like when the kingship changed in ancient times, but he didn't think he should go back to the house to see after the burial!Moreover, there was no news of which prince would ascend the throne, but Tian Ding was not worried, what kind of official the prime minister was, even if his father was young, he would not be able to move easily!Silently leaning against his mother, Tian Ding could only use this silent approach to comfort his worried mother

On the tenth day after the emperor passed away, Mr. Wang finally came back, his face was tired and pale, and he felt like he was ten years older.After Lord Wang returned home, Mrs. Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief, while Tian Ding sighed inwardly. Life is not easy anywhere.After Mr. Wang came back, he was very silent, didn't mention what happened in the palace, but locked himself in the study.

Just after the second day, Mrs. Wang came out of the study. Mrs. Wang, who was guarding outside, wanted to speak worriedly. Mrs. Wang shook her hand and helped his wife into the study. What did the two of them say in the study? The three waiting children couldn't hear clearly, Miss Wang dozed off against the girl next to her, and Wang Xiubo still had a book in his hand, looking up at the moon and carrying something on his back.Tian Ding squatted down when he was tired from standing, he had the feeling that something was going to happen at home.When his father came out of the study just now, he saw that the word "Lian" in the note on his father's head had disappeared and changed to: From prosperity to decline...

Tian Ding looked into the study room. His father probably guessed that something would happen. He closed the door with his mother and said nothing more than this. If something really happened...Tian Ding had his own thoughts in his mind. It seemed that only the five acres of land were useful, and everything else seemed to be useful. It's a waste product.He had to find the title deed and hide it.

The door of the study was opened again, Mr. Wang waved for the children to rest, the first thing Tian Ding did when he returned to the room was to find out the land deed, and the house deed of his hometown was dug out together, Tian Ding folded the two deeds into the smallest size without much thought. Tucked into the century-old lock hanging around his neck, he patted the hundred-year-old lock, and Tian Ding slept with his pillow in his arms.

On the court, Mr. Wang, who had not said the words of resigning from office and returning to his hometown, was first read by the officer, and then several ministers joined Feng, and the new emperor directly decreed that the officials of Prime Minister Wang should be dismissed. ransacked home.He also said that he wanted to accumulate blessings for the late emperor, so he spared the lives of the prime minister's family.
