At the end of Ji Chengkang's work report, Chen Xiaocai and Chen Maimai followed the team back to Shaxian County, while Ji Yunan was left in Kyoto.
Chen Mai was very happy in Kyoto. He was still reluctant to leave. However, Chen Xiaocai urged Chen Mai to go back, and Chen Mai didn't make any noise.
"Big brother." It's autumn for Chen Xiaocai to come back from Kyoto. I'm very happy to know that Shen Chi has a baby.
"Brother Lin, this time I went to Kyoto to sell that story. After taking out the cost, I made a total of more than 2400 Liang. Here is 1200 Liang, and there are tens of taels of silver, which I spent."
Chen Xiaomi was stunned for a moment and said: "so many!" It's just a story. Lu Lin was also startled, but his face was still light.
Lu Lin secretly thinks that Chen Xiaocai is really a man who can make money.
Chen Xiaocai took out his silver ticket again, "brother Lin, the six hundred taels of silver tickets he took before he went out are all here, and they didn't move much."
"Xiaocai, you are really capable!"
"It's Ringo. Your story is good."
Chen Xiaocai knows that Lu Lin told people that he heard the story from a mountain resident who died. However, Chen Xiaocai knows that there is no so-called mountain resident on the mountain at all. Mountain dwellers are struggling to make a living every day. How can they dream of any story? If there is any mountain resident, can Qin Yi not know?
Chen Xiaocai always thinks that Lu Lin has a secret Secret, however, did not delve into.
"Let's split the two hundred taels in half." Lulin road.
Chen Xiaocai shook his head and said, "I'll take 200 Liang."
Two hundred Liang is the money that many people can't earn in their whole life. He just does it according to Lu Lin's plan. Chen Xiaocai thinks that if Lu Lin does it himself, he will earn more than two hundred Liang. Unfortunately, Lu Lin is too busy to leave.
Lu Lin shook his head and said, "do you take five hundred liang? After all, it's going to be the people who want to raise children soon. They are all family members, and the money is the same in everyone's home."
Chen Xiaocai nodded his head and took five Liang silver.
Before, Chen Xiaocai bought a street in Shaxian County, but it was still very expensive. He had money in his hand. It was easy to do a lot of things.
"The business of the distillery is good recently. Now that you are back, you can pay more attention to it." Lulin road.
Chen Xiaocai nodded and said, "OK."
Chen Xiaocai hesitated and said, "brother Lin, this business of Kyoto rich people is quite easy to do. It's easy to do, but it's also easy to offend people."
Chen Xiaocai nodded and said, "that's true."
At the beginning, they wanted to give the right to tell the story to Yunxuan restaurant. But later, several teahouses found Ji Jialai. Chen Xiaocai knew from Ji Chengkang that there were royal relatives behind the teahouses, and the relationship was very complicated. They could not offend him at all.
Later, journey to the West became more and more famous. Chen Xiaocai was no longer in charge of it. Chen Xiaocai left the matter to Ji Chengkang.
There are too many big men in the capital. If a big wave comes, it will submerge him.
Kyoto is good at everything, but it's not free enough. " If you are in Beijing, you have to be careful everywhere. If you are not careful, you will easily offend others.
Chen Xiaomi laughed and said, "I still want to pursue freedom in this life."
Chen Xiaocai made a lot of money in Kyoto, and when he relaxed a little, he gave junkan a batch of wine.
Chen Xiaolai is also a celebrity in the military camp. Along the way, the soldiers escorted him to eat from Chen Xiaocai. After Chen Xiaocai arrived in Kyoto, he also made a lot of money. He invited several local soldiers to drink twice and gave them some money.
Several local soldiers thought that Chen Xiaocai was young and promising, had excellent temperament and was generous.
When they came to the barracks, they paid more and more attention to Chen Xiaocai.
In the barracks, there were some soldiers who didn't like Chen Xiaolai. Knowing that Ji Chengkang made a fortune with Chen Xiaocai, he also changed his outlook on Chen Xiaocai.
Liu Yun turned the book in his hand and said, "general, this journey to the west is really interesting." Ji Chengkang nodded and said, "it's very interesting. It's said that the concubines in the palace also like this story."
Ji Chengkang also sent several sets of hardcover books to the palace. The hardcover books, a set of eight Liang silver, cost very cheap. Ji Chengkang came at the cost price, but it didn't cost much. Because he sent books to the palace, the emperor seemed to be very optimistic about him and wanted to promote him.
Ji Chengkang didn't know what to say. He had been living and dying outside for so many years. The emperor seldom thought of giving him a promotion. He sent some books to the palace, and the emperor thought of giving him a promotion.
Liu Yun laughed and said, "I can tell the story to the soldiers at the bottom when I have time."
Liu Yun thought to himself: there is no entertainment in the army. Everyone seems to be bored.
Ji Chengkang nodded and said, "well, Lao Ba, they should all say that after this guy arrived in the capital, he went to the teahouse." Ji Chengkang said that Lao BA was the one who followed Ji Chengkang to Beijing before."Recently, more people have come to Shaxian to settle down." Liu yundao.
Ji Chengkang nodded and said, "this is a good thing. Only when more people come can more wasteland be reclaimed."
Ji Chengkang thinks that after a period of time, Shaxian County seems to have changed a lot. Many villagers are building roads. Roads in Shaxian County are built in all directions. Maybe it's because Lu Lin's money is enough. The workers seem to be very energetic.
Chen Xiaocai's return makes Shen Chi very excited.
"Is the capital prosperous?" Shen Chi asked curiously.
Chen Xiaocai nodded, "the capital is naturally prosperous."
The most prosperous place in Shaxian County is Shaxian street, which is not in Kyoto. There are many busy streets in Shaxian County.
On the street, there are all kinds of shops selling jewelry, jade, calligraphy and painting.
Any calligraphy and painting in the calligraphy and painting shop can make him feel poor.
Chen Xiaocai can't figure it out. It's just a broken painting. It can sell hundreds of Liang. These literati are really full.
In the capital, he was often looked down upon. Even if the journey to the West sold well, many people still thought he was a deviant and didn't take him seriously.
"I brought you something delicious."
Shen Chi said helplessly, "what's the matter with Fei? I've brought it all the way here. It's already broken. There's a lot of delicious food at home."
Although his mouth said so, Shen Chi's heart was still warm.
Chen Xiaocai laughed and said, "of course I understand. This is lotus root powder I bought in a nearby county. It can be kept for several days. I'll cook it and taste it."
Shen Chi nodded and said, "OK."
"Before wheat left the capital, it bought a lot of delicious food and divided them into different categories, including those for big brother, lingo and you. I was afraid that the food would break down when I brought it back. As a result, the guy couldn't resist it and ate it all on the way." Shen Chi couldn't help smiling after listening to Xiaocai's words.
"Did Ji yun'an stay in Kyoto?" Shen Chi asked.
Chen Xiaocai nodded and said, "yes."
Shen sighed: "it's better for children to stay in Kyoto."
Chen Xiaocai nodded and said, "yes, but he seems to be in a lot of trouble."
Although Ji Chengkang was a legitimate son, he was no more popular than those common brothers.
Although Ji yun'an changed his surname and joined the genealogy of the Ji family, he was born to his married daughter. It was originally his father's problem that Ji Chengkang was taken back to the Ji family. However, some people in Kyoto were idle and liked to talk about people's rights and wrongs. He thought that he was abandoning his father's low family status, so he went back to the Ji family.
Ji yun'an's father is also a hypocrite. He doesn't refute this statement.
Chen Xiaocai ponders that if Ji Yunan wants to take an official career, there are many difficulties he needs to face.
Chen Xiaocai shakes his head and thinks to himself: it's Ji yun'an who wants to go to an official career, but it's not him who wants to go to an official career. It seems that he doesn't have to think too much.
"I haven't been away for a long time. There's a lot of excitement in this town!" Chen xiaocaidao.
Shen Chi nodded and said: "adults have found a lot of people to build roads. Some people have heard that one day they come to look for a job. As a result, after they come here, they find that life here is also good and settle down here."
"That's a good thing." Chen xiaocaidao.
This population is also an important criterion for evaluating the prosperity of a county. If the population of a county increases significantly during the term of office of the magistrate, it will be of great benefit to the evaluation of the magistrate.
Shen Chi nodded and said, "a lot of people say that brother Lin is a rare master, so they all come to us."
Chen Xiaocai smiles and says, "I didn't expect brother Lin to do this. I really underestimate him..." Shen Chi looked at Chen Xiaocai helplessly and said, "brother Lin is very powerful."
Chen Xiaocai thinks to himself: Shen Chi doesn't know how bad Lu Lin is. When this guy first came here, he caught a lot of chickens and bunnies and asked him and wheat to take care of them. As a result, he and wheat were so busy that Lu Lin was just waiting for meat.
Qin Ming sat on a high stone pillar and talked with several workers about what he had seen and heard in Kyoto.
All the workers were stunned by Qin Ming.
After Chen Xiaocai went to Kyoto, Qin Ming's value also rose a lot. Many people know that Qin Ming has seen the world.
"Brother Ming, master Xiaocai really sold a story, so he sold a lot of silver."
Qin Ming nodded and said, "yes! There are too many rich people in Kyoto, and they are very stupid. They have bought three volumes of storybooks. As a result, the young master launched a hardcover version, and they robbed another one. They are all the same things. "
"How much is the hardcover version of the script?" A carpenter asked curiously.
"Eight Liang." Qin Ming held out his hand and made an eight.Several people immediately issued bursts of exclamation, "eight Liang ah, enough to buy several pigs."
"Eight Liang, I earn so much money in a year."
"This set of books can be sold for eight liang of silver."
"You can sell it. You don't know the scene! Everyone is scrambling to buy it for fear that they will not be able to buy it. Many people in Kyoto are full and have nothing to do. They are not short of money. " Qin Ming and you Rong Yan's Tao.
"What kind of story is that!
"This story is called journey to the west, mainly about a monkey."
The story of a monkey can be sold for so much money. Sure enough, people in Kyoto are rich! That's it! It's just a monkey.
Qin Ming said: "those people in Kyoto like to keep up with the Joneses. A suit of clothes is worth tens of taels. How can people here spend so much money?"
"This young master Chen Xiaocai can be considered respectable here. However, in the rich circle of Kyoto, he is a bit shabby. How much money has he made?" A blacksmith couldn't help saying.
Qin Ming shook his head, conservative way: "the money, small boss and Ji childe equally, but a few hundred Liang should be some!" A few people can't help exploding when they hear Qin Ming say several hundred Liang. For ordinary workers, it's good to earn dozens of Wen a day. For people, hundreds of Liang is undoubtedly an astronomical number.
"The little boss is really good!"
"The little boss is really a capable person. No wonder he can buy a shop on one street."
Qin Lang looks at Qin Ming sitting on the high stone steps and shakes his head helplessly. His younger brother went out this time. After he came back, he seems to have changed a lot. This guy used to worship his elder brother very much, but he will be proud.
Qin Lang is a little envious of his younger brother Qin Ming's fortune. However, he is happy for Qin Ming and goes out. His younger brother seems to have grown up.
Qin Yi smiles at the spirited Qin Lang and shakes his head helplessly.
"Dad, my second brother seems very happy recently."
Qin Yi smiles and says, "after walking for a while, let him be proud. Let alone Sha county, there are several people in Lin town who have been to Kyoto."
Qin Lang nodded and said, "yes!"
Qin Yi is very satisfied with his life now. A few years ago, he was still a precarious mountain dweller in the mountains. He followed Lu Lin, and now his son has been to Kyoto.
Transportation is underdeveloped in this era. It's a great thing for the villagers to travel far away. People who have traveled far away have also wandered outside.
"Dad, the second uncle is very powerful!" Yuanbao is eating rougamo.
Lu Lin nodded and said, "yes, your second uncle is very powerful."
Yuan Bao held his head high and said, "when I grow up, I want to be like my second uncle."
Lu Lin tilted his head and said in secret: Yuanbao really is. He has such a glorious and tall father here, but Yuanbao is thinking about becoming a kid like Chen Xiaocai.
Lu Lin said sourly: "don't Yuanbao want to be like dad?"
Yuan Bao glanced at Lu Lin and said, "Dad, you are too timid."
Lu Lin
Chen Xiaomi came in, just heard the father and son talk, can't help but smile.
Seeing Lu Lin's bad face, Yuan Bao slipped away.
Lu Lin said discontentedly: "this dish is very popular recently. I heard that the villagers all admire him."
Chen Xiaomi smiles and says, "the biggest credit for this is you. Without you, he doesn't sell books."
Lu Lin felt his chin and thought that he was the unsung hero behind the scenes.
