Chapter 289 Masters are among the people
The group set out and first went to the village nearest to Cunhe County to record a yellow book.
The yellow book in Buli has already been recorded. This time he went to the city, he wanted to find Zhao Si, give him the full book, and then make the next one.
After walking around the village, I didn't find anything special. However, the villagers saw that they had pulled two cargoes of charcoal, and someone came over with excitement to find out the price.
"200 text per scale." Qingqing said.
This price was finally settled after she and Buli repeatedly inquire about the market.
In the calculation, it is only one hundred pounds, one qian and three silver coins.
It is more expensive than the charcoal on the market, but it is not too outrageous, because the quality of charcoal is there, and wealthy families will not care about this price difference.
The person who inquired about the price instantly turned into loss, and could only retract his hand with regret, looking at the charcoal truck with envy.
This price is a bit expensive for ordinary people.
For ordinary people, burning charcoal to keep warm is just burning money.
"Old man, I think you seem to be very interested in charcoal. We haven't burned charcoal in previous years, right?" Qingqing asked.
The old man who inquired about the price sighed and said with a sad face:
"Official, you don't know. Our village has had great men. A great clan leader had worked as a star official in the court. After several generations, although this unique skill of astrology and divination has not been passed down, there are still many people in the village who know how to observe the celestial phenomena. We calculated that this year is probably a cold winter, and there are probably people in the village that must be frozen to death."
Qingqing nodded when she heard this, with admiration in her eyes.
Is this what a master means among the people?
I have said before that this year is cold winter, and the villagers in this village have calculated it.
Although their methods are very similar, the results are very accurate.
"We looked at the celestial phenomena that were faintly unlucky, but the girl said we would have noble people to help us. Perhaps fewer people in our village could die, and turn bad luck into good luck. Seeing the official pulling charcoal, I thought it was the government that wanted to sell cheap charcoal. I was thinking too much."
After saying that, the old man sighed again, only blamed himself for being too naive.
Yesterday, after the girl calculated that there might be a noble person, everyone really had a glimmer of hope. They came with charcoal and thought it was the astrological signs that were working.
But at 200 pm, this price is even more expensive than the most expensive charcoal on the market. No matter how you look at it, it is not that the government has issued a charity. As the old man thought about it, his face suddenly became ugly, and even said, a little shocked.
The people around him also had this expression. It seemed that everyone thought of the same thing - such expensive charcoal, wouldn't it be forcing them to buy it?!
These are all hard-earned people who are afraid of being bullied. When encountering such a situation, it is difficult not to think about things in the worst direction.
Qingqing saw their expressions and guessed what they were thinking, and she didn't express comfort. The main reason was that in the current situation, people would not believe anything she said, and she had not come up with any better way to solve this problem for the time being.
Qingqing could only continue to ask and try to collect more information.
"Old man, how much charcoal do you have to burn in winter?"
"Ah, this--" The old man stuttered, his face turned red, and he didn't dare to answer this question.
If he said that, if this female official waved her hand, okay, buy it according to the quantity you said, what should I do?!
He can't make up so much money even if he beats him to death.
"It doesn't matter, there are already reservations in my car. I won't make things difficult for you on purpose." Qingqing advised her when she saw the old man's concerns. She repeatedly emphasized it several times, but no one answered.
Everyone was afraid that forced buying and selling would happen, and the atmosphere was in awkward.
Just as Qingqing was about to change her question, suddenly a crisp and slight female voice in the crowd sounded:
"If you burn every day, you have to weigh at least 7 or 8 scales."
As soon as these words were said, many people changed their faces, and they had the mental ability to bear it, their lips turned white, which was scary.
Everyone looked back.
I saw a girl walking out of the crowd, looking at her seven or eight years old, wearing a bun, a little baby fat on her face, and chubby like a big apple.
She had one missing front teeth and was a little leaking in her words, which was so cute.
When everyone saw that it was her, their expressions became strange again. Someone wanted to pull the girl back, but Qingqing had already taken the lead, touched her head with her hand, and asked gently:
"Little sister, what are your name? Are you not afraid of me?"
In fact, Qingqing knows what these people think. After all, she is the one who controls the overall situation and has insight into people's hearts.
The likable little girl in front of her attracted her attention, and she felt that this was not an ordinary child.
The girl gave Qingqing a blessing gift.
"Elder, don't call me sister. I can't bear it. Just call me girl."
It turned out that this was the "girl" who just now had a noble man. Qingqing didn't expect her to be so little.
The girl continued to answer with her slightly leaky breasts: "I'm not afraid of you. Your life palace is wide and full of purple air. You must be a person full of wisdom. The faint purple air spreads to the Yinde Palace, which indicates that you have accumulated a lot of Yinde, which is indescribable. With your fate, you will never make things difficult for us for a little bit of silver."
The girl's voice was not loud or small, and everyone could hear it. Even Buli, who was registering for the yellow book, looked over. The little girl's eyes looked a little more confused.
"I am Yuan Chengyi, the eighth generation successor of the Yuan clan!" After the little girl said that, she raised her fat little hand and compared it with her horoscope, "I am eight years old this year!"
This cute look made Qingqing amuse me. This girl is so cute.
The village chief rushed over and pulled the little girl behind him with a embarrassed look on his face. He felt relieved when he saw that Qingqing had no intention of blame and explained carefully.
"It made the official laugh. This girl is indeed the only great-granddaughter of our grandfather. But don't listen to her slander or something. She is self-proclaimed. How can she pass on her? "
The little girl leaned her head from behind the village chief in dissatisfaction and smiled at Qingqing, "Elder, I see that you have a very good bones. You are not an ordinary person at first sight. Can we make a deal?"
The village chief is about to pass by.
This girl usually talks nonsense in the village, but why does the distinguished guest come so ignorant? She hurriedly signaled that the two of them were going to take Yuan Chengyi away.
"Leave her behind, I want to hear what she is going to say. I like this kid very much, I won't hurt her." Qingqing said.
Seeing this, the two of them could only put the child down and looked at her with warning.
Seeing that the village chief could not stop him, he could only sigh:
"This child is the only descendant of the clan leader. The clan leader is the one who was the star official in the palace back then. Since then, there has never been such a master in our clan again. Perhaps the clan leader has revealed the secrets of heaven and damaged his numerology, and this branch has cut off its incense. But then again, this child is indeed talented in physiognomy. After reading many ancient books, we dare not ignore the child's ideas."
After the village chief said that, he felt uneasy and added, "Of course, she is just a child of a few years. You just think that what she said is happy. If you say something wrong, don't take it to your heart."
