This is the second year after the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty. All localities have been enjoying good weather. In addition to tax reduction and exemption, land reclamation, farming and mulberry farming and other beneficial policies, people everywhere have a chance to breathe, and Mu Yangling makes people Spread the grain all over the central, southern and western regions, broadcast grain seeds, and have the sowing manual issued by the imperial court. Even in areas with drought and waterlogging, the grain will not be lost. As soon as the new year arrives, everyone will meet to go shopping. New Year's goods in the city.
The same is true in the southern part of Guizhou. On this day of the young year, the people of the towns and villages under Juzhou flocked to Juzhou city to exchange new year goods with their things.
Money is a rare thing, and the money in the whole country is only exchanged and used by one-third of the people, and nearly two-thirds of the people at the bottom are used to bartering, and some people may never see it in their life. What does the copper plate look like, let alone silver.
So when a piece of silver was stretched out to him, Zhao Gener's eyes widened and he was stunned. Seeing that he didn't take the silver, Xiao Xiong pouted and asked, "Aren't you going to sell a backpack?"
Zhao Gener waved his hands in a panic and said, "No, don't sell it, no, how can this thing count for money," he picked up the small back basket and stuffed it into the bear's hands, rubbing his hands in a panic, "This is a small thing, it's worthless , you take it, take it."
Zhao Gen'er's daughter hid behind her father and watched, whispering, "This is what my father made up for me."
Zhao Gen'er tugged at his daughter and looked at the servant behind Xiaoxiong in a panic. It was the first time he entered the city, and it was the first time he saw such a noble son. I heard that if he was annoyed by the nobleman, he would be beaten to death and no one would care. of.
Xiaoxiong hesitated for a moment, and said regretfully: "It turns out that it was a gift from your father, and it's not for sale." He also wouldn't sell the gift his father gave him.
The little bear lowered his head and put down the small back basket in dejection. A servant was about to come forward to talk, but was stopped by the pillar. He was from a village family and knew that the little girl was not the little back basket. The servant's presence would inevitably ruin the master's reputation , so he leaned into Little Bear's ear and said, "Sir, we can exchange things with her."
Little Bear's eyes lit up, "What?"
Dan'er immediately pointed to the candied haws hanging on the side, and shouted: "Use that, use that."
Bear gave him a sideways look, "Do you think everyone likes to eat like you?"
Who knew that the little girl was really drooling staring at the candied haws. The little bear was smart, waved his little hand, and said, "Buy it!"
Dan'er ran over immediately, took out a small piece of silver the size of a fingernail from his purse and handed it to the hawker, drooling: "Buy a lot."
Xiaoxiong also swallowed, but he felt that he was the master and should be steady, so he only looked at it from the corner of his eyes and did not run forward.
That dime of silver can buy a lot of candied haws, Daner gave Little Bear two bunches first, and then divided them one by one. The little girl also got two bunches, and even Zhao Gener had a bunch in his hand, Daner said: " If you eat our food, you have to give us the small backpack."
There are several such backpacks in her house, and the little girl is not uncommon at all to give the little backpack to the little bear, eating the candied haws until her face is covered in sugar residue.
Little Bear nibbled on a bunch, and when she saw that she had finished eating one but put away the other, she said, "It won't be delicious if you keep it."
The little girl whispered: "I want to leave it to my brother to eat."
Little Bear tilted his head and asked suspiciously: "Your brother can buy it if he wants to eat it."
The little girl widened her eyes and said, "Our family has no money."
Little Bear asked curiously, "Why is there no money?"
The little girl asked, "Why is there money?"
The two children stared at each other, Zhao Gener was anxious, and said in a low voice: "Little son, we have no ability, we can't make money, so we have no money."
Xiaoxiong looked at him sympathetically and said, "So you are a fool and can't make money."
The little girl blushed and said angrily, "Why do you scold my father?"
"I didn't scold your father," Xiao Xiong was at a loss, he felt that he was just stating the facts, he said: "I will give you money to buy your backpack, you don't want it, you need to exchange it with candied haws, but exchange is the same as buying. Yes, money is more expensive than candied haws, you can buy candied haws, but candied haws may not necessarily be exchanged for money, you are so stupid, even more stupid than eggs."
Dan'er nodded again and again, and said, "Stupid than me."
Because the words were very long, Xiaoxiong was a little confused, the little girl didn't understand, and Zhao Gener was also a little confused, but Luo Zhan, who had been watching the development of the situation, understood.
He glanced at Little Bear in amazement. He didn't expect this child to be so knowledgeable when he was only three years old. This shows the wisdom of his father. , I don't understand what you mean, since they are willing to exchange with you, you can take it."
The little bear stared at him with wide eyes, and wanted to tell him that he didn't understand what he said before, but he thought of what his father said, that everything can be weak outside, that is, the momentum can't be weak. , so he straightened his chest and stared at Luo Zhan.
Luo Zhan thought he didn't agree with what he said, so he asked in surprise, "Young Master has other opinions?" He glanced at Zhao Gen'er and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that even if the son explained it, he may not understand it."
Xiao Xiong didn't like his gaze very much. Seeing Zhao Gen'er blushing and bowing his head in shame, he said, "You have to teach if you don't understand. How can you understand if you don't teach?" I taught him very carefully, and let him be patient with Daner, I won't teach him twice once, and he won't teach him three times...
Luo Zhan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's just that ordinary people can't afford to go to school, who will teach them?"
Xiao Xiong was at a loss, knowing that the pillar of his family's level immediately came to his ear and said, "What he said is to educate the people..."
Xiao Xiong waved his little hand and interrupted the post domineeringly, saying, "Isn't it the responsibility of an official to educate the people? They didn't fulfill their responsibilities, so they pulled down and beat the board."
Luo Zhan put away the smile on his face, gave Xiaoxiong a meaningful look, and said, "Little Young Master is right, it is indeed the responsibility of officials to educate the people, and Luo has been taught."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Zhu Zi frowned at the back of his departure, the captain of the bodyguard behind Little Bear winked at the people behind him, and two people quietly left the team and followed the people in front.
The little bear touched his head inexplicably, but didn't understand what happened just now. Like his father, he never struggled with things he couldn't figure out, so the little bear quickly let go, turned around and said to the little girl, "I want to hunt, go in. The mountain is going to be put in a basket, do you still have a small back basket? If you have it, sell it to me, and I will give you the money, so that your family will have money, and you can buy as many candied haws as you want."
After talking with Xiaoxiong for a long time, Zhao Gener also saw that this young man is not as hateful as the villagers said, he hesitated for a while, and said: "There are bags on the back, but you don't need so much money, just look at how much you can give. A copper plate will do," he explained. "It doesn't take much time to make a back basket. The smaller you want, the better it is. The bamboo is all cut from the mountains, so you don't need money, but all you want are small back baskets. I can make it up in two days."
The little bear remembered that his mother had said that he had to pay a deposit for ordering things, so he undid his purse, poured out all the money from it, and chose the smallest silver beanie for him, saying, "This is the deposit, you make it up. Okay, take it to my house, and I'll settle the bill for you."
