"Dinglongtai Poetry Club!"

After receiving the invitation, Wang Yuan opened it and shook his head: "I have no interest in the poetry festival!"

At the end of the Jin Dynasty, the dragon and snake started to rise; the first emperor of Daye fought outside Jiushan County and defeated his rivals of the same generation, establishing the imperial hegemony!

After the victory, he composed a poem on the battlefield. Later, the governor of Jiushan County built Dinglong Terrace and convened the county's scholars to hold a poetry meeting, which was passed down from generation to generation.

Finally, with the involvement of the royal family, the barriers to entry have become higher and higher.

At first, scholars can participate, and gradually they can be promoted to Tongsheng, Xiucai, and finally Juren.

Whoever shines in the Dinglongtai Poetry Society will become famous all over the world, and may even be favored by learned scholars and royal nobles.

This is a scholar’s ​​dream event!

However, for Wang Yuan, he had no interest in this kind of poetry meeting, let alone being in the company of those gentlemen who held the title of Scholar and Jinshi.

These people know how to do it, but he doesn’t know how to do it at all. He doesn’t even know how to speak!

Zhao Weimin smiled bitterly: "Sir, he is a scholar of heaven and man, so naturally he disdains poetry and prose! It's just the strategy of demolishing the wall that he taught you last time. The court has not sent back the news yet. It is estimated that the left and right ministers are arguing again, and this strategy will not work in the end.

Let it go!"

Wang Yuan waved his hands impatiently: "Don't tell me these rubbish things. The two factions only know how to undermine each other, but they don't do business. They don't care about the life or death of the people in the world. They are all dead people!"

"Actually, the left prime minister..."

Seeing that Wang Yuan looked displeased, Zhao Weimin changed the topic and said: "Although the Dinglongtai Poetry Society has been small in scale in recent years, there are still many intellectuals, including Chengzhou's sons, county ministers, and even aristocratic families, participating. Here.

Wang Haitian, the host of this poetry meeting, is the best friend of the students. I asked for a judging spot for my husband! If he can go and participate, he will definitely expand his influence. In the future, whether he is preaching or saving the building from collapse, he will have more fans.

wholesale!"

"Who can I pass this little knowledge on to? Even a god like Daye can't save him!"

Wang Yuan was speechless, but suddenly his eyes lit up: "There are children from the county and aristocratic families participating, so there will definitely be no shortage of money for this poetry meeting!"

"Money, uh, um!"

Zhao Weimin was stunned and nodded.

The Dinglongtai Poetry Festival was supposed to be an opportunity to become famous, so why did you ask for money?

No, sir, you will never be so superficial. There must be a profound meaning in this statement!

Could it be that you, sir, want to use money from these rich people to help the poor people?

He was worried about not being able to find a place to sell Tang knives. When he felt sleepy, a cheap student came to give him a pillow. Wang Yuan thought for a moment and shook his head: "I still can't go to the Dinglongtai Poetry Festival!"

Zhao Weimin was surprised: "Why, sir?"

Wang Yuan spread his hands and said: "From Fu County to Jiushan County, we have to pass through two counties, a total of two hundred and seventy miles, and the road is not smooth!"

He wanted to visit the county town. After all, big places are easier to make money!

But in this day and age, it’s really difficult to go out and walk hundreds of miles!

And there is no navigation, no map, and I don’t know where to go!

Zhao Weimin stood up in surprise, clasped his fists and bowed his head: "Sir, I didn't think carefully. I am an official, and even if there are bandits on the road, they would not dare to rob me. And sir, I am in white, so it is really not safe to go to Jiushan County.

."

Zhao Qinghe next to him was shocked!

This middle-aged man is actually an official, and yet he is so polite to his prodigal cousin!

"master!"

Next to him, Xu Tou bowed his waist and clasped his fists and said, "Sir, if you really want to go to Jiushan County, there is nothing you can do. You just need to pay attention to a few points!"

Wang Yuan became interested: "Xu Baotou, please tell me!"

This man was actually a head hunter. Zhao Qinghe covered his mouth in shock and looked at Zhao Weimin again!

The catcher calls him master, who is he? I don’t dare to think about it!

"Don't dare!"

Xu Captou took out a map, spread it out and pointed: "Sir, if you want to go to Jiushan County, there are three places you should pay attention to. Black Tiger Mountain, Daqing Ridge, and Yixiantian. Now the bandits of the Three Tiger Villages in Black Tiger Mountain have been captured."

The sir has been eliminated, leaving only Daqingling and Yixiantian with bandits. Among them, Daqingling is about the same power as Sanhuzhai, and Yixiantian is stronger than both combined. It requires special attention from sir, but as long as you give

It’s still easy to cross the road by buying toll money.”

"Let me see!"

Wang Yuan took the map.

It is a small map, leading from Fu County to Jiushan County, with county towns, markets, rivers, mountains, roads, mountain roads, inns, and inns marked on it.

It looks like a random drawing, very rough!

Xu Captou's expression changed, and when he saw Zhao Weimin turning around to go out, he lowered his head and said nothing!

Maps are contraband among the people, and civilians are not allowed to keep and draw them privately!

Merchants can draw simple maps, but they are only trade and cargo routes.

The maps he used for government officials were more detailed than those used by merchants and simpler than those used by the army!

Logically speaking, ordinary people can’t watch it either!

But the elder even pretended not to see it, so he could only pretend not to see it.

After Wang Yuan read the map, he remembered it all and returned it!

Xu Captou put away the map and began to remind again: "Sir, if you really go to Jiushan County, you should pay attention to that in addition to the large group of bandits, there are also small bandits on the road. It is best to equip the accompanying people with swords, so as to ensure safety.

!”

"With a sword?"

Wang Yuan was shocked when he heard this: "Isn't it stipulated by the Law of the Great Cause that ordinary people cannot hold swords?"

Xu Captou chuckled: "Of course the law stipulates that, but the world outside is not peaceful now. If you go out without a sword to defend yourself, those merchants would have been robbed by thieves. The government now turns a blind eye and only needs a sword.

Go to the government to report, pay a sum of money, and the government will issue a document, so you can naturally carry it. However, only swords, guns, swords, bows and crossbows, and armor are still contraband."

Wang Yuan chuckled and nodded: "Thank you Xu Captou for your advice!"

Xu Captou suddenly changed the subject: "I wonder if sir, are you interested in being a salt merchant?"

Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Tell me about it?"

Daye sells salt, salt banknote system.

The court issued salt banknotes, and merchants spent money to buy salt banknotes. Finally, they went to the salt field and salt mine to transport the salt, and then sold the salt in an area and time based on the salt banknotes.

If you don't have salt banknotes, you are selling illegal salt. If the government catches you, you will be jailed or even beheaded.

Buying salt banknotes and becoming a salt merchant is a way for ordinary people to make a fortune!

But he has too many ways to make money and is not interested in being a salt merchant!

However, the refining technology of Daye’s salt is too poor and there are many impurities in it!

Eating it for a long time is harmful to the human body.

If given the opportunity, selling refined salt without impurities would benefit the people of the area!

However, the salt industry in Fu County has always been controlled by the Liu family. Can the government also take it back?

Xu Captou said in a low voice: "We went to Liu's house to ransack the property and found Liu's salt banknotes for next year. The county government has decided to auction them tomorrow. If you are interested, sir, you can prepare the money and try it. The eldest master said, if you get

If you start this business, you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life!"

Wang Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "How much silver will it cost?"

Xu Captou said in a low voice: "There are a total of 600,000 catties of salt banknotes, and each catty costs five cents of silver. The county government will sell them at this price. However, other large households in the county will definitely compete for the salt banknotes, and the prices will be even higher."

."

Salt works and salt wells generally cost a few cents, and can be sold in the market for dozens or hundreds of cents. It is all about various connections, and the freight on the road is expensive. Wang Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "Guocang, bring ten pieces of soap!

"

Guo Cang went to the carriage and took out ten bars of soap!

Wang Yuan stuffed three pieces in his hand and said, "Don't dislike this little gadget!"

"Sir, you have broken me, how can I ask for your things!"

Holding three pieces of soap, Xu Captou wanted to put them away, but he was afraid to take them!

One piece of this soap costs three guan. Three yuan is nine guan. It’s not a small sum!

Wang Yuan ignored him and gave seven pieces of soap to Zhao Weimin, who was stunned and said: "Take it and use it. If you don't use up, you can give it to the people below!"

"Thank you sir!"

Holding seven pieces of soap, Zhao Weimin frowned: Mr. gave me a pile of soap and asked me to give it to the people below. This must have a deep meaning? Does Mr. want me to punish the officials below so that they don't do it?

Blackmailing the people! Yes, governing a country is like governing officials. Officials govern the country and bring peace to the world. This must be what you mean! Don’t worry, sir, I will punish the county officials and bring peace to the people!
