On the winding and straight loess road, the old scalper pulled the wooden cart swaying and swaying. The loess road was overgrown with weeds and the trees were withered. There were two people sitting on the car, enjoying the lazy sunshine, looking leisurely and at ease.

.

One of them has a beard and is tall and tall. Next to him, another young man is not as strong as him, but he is extremely energetic and restrained. Next to the young man, there is a linen package, about the size of a foot. As the road bumps, the object comes into contact with the wooden board.

It makes a "dong dong dong" sound.

"Brother, let's go to Pei County today. Do you think we can cut out jade?" The strong man with a beard made a thunderous voice. The old scalper who was pulling the cart in front was also startled by the sudden sound and shook his head.

The tail whirred and started running.

Needless to say, these two people were Yang Lin and Li Ba. At this time, they were rushing to Pei County to ask the jade mason to cut open the jade from last night.

Yang Lin unconsciously touched the rough jade wrapped in coarse cloth. Uncut jade only meant that it might contain jade. Even gods could not be 100% sure whether there was jade. He could only pray 70% luck and 30% pray.

"You have to give it a try whether you can or not. If there is jade, it can only be said to be luck. If not, there is no need to force it too hard."

Li Ba scratched his fluffy hair and was a little puzzled, "Brother Lin, why are you talking like those literati recently? We are just a big guy, and we can't eat enough with those things."

"You kid, who said we farmers can't study? We rely on us to eat and farm, and we have to rely on the literati to govern the country." Yang Lin knocked Li Ba on the head, holding a piece of thatch in his mouth, half-jokingly

said.

Li Ba was impatient and careless. When he heard this, he became a little angry and pouted, saying, "How about them? We don't have enough food and clothing, and we have to do corvee every year. It's just them, a bunch of literary people."

It’s run by people like his. His grandpa’s, this group of people is quite comfortable.”

Yang Lin looked around and saw that there was no one else on the loess road, so he reprimanded, "Kid, please keep your voice down. Li Ba, I tell you, when you get to Pei County, keep your mouth shut. If anyone knows about you,

Slandering the laws of the empire behind your back will cost you your head."

He looked nervous. It was not yet Qin Dynasty's riot, and some words could not be spoken casually. He said again, "Can you hear me clearly?"

The strong man lowered his head in grievance, tore a straw from his hands with both hands, turned sideways, leaving his broad back to Yang Lin, "I heard it." His voice suddenly sounded thin and weak.

"What?"

"I heard it, uh, uh, uh..." The man hesitated, looking like a little daughter-in-law who was being bullied, which made Yang Lin burst into laughter. If Li Ba is said to have an impatient temper and a loud voice, he is better than anyone else.

But when it comes to pretending to be wronged, it's even worse.

From Anyangli to Peixian County, the two of them rode an ox cart for nearly half a day before arriving. The imperial flag of Qin was flying on the tower that was more than a dozen people tall, and dozens of Qin soldiers holding halberds were checking the people entering the city one by one.

Yang Lin and Yang Lin were dressed in burlap clothes and had no iron tools. They looked like very honest farmers. Li Ba also kept his mouth shut under Yang Lin's warning, so he passed the inspection quickly.

Stepping into the gate of the city and walking through the corridor of the city tower, the noise of the market rushed into their ears continuously. Passers-by of all kinds were walking, watching, or talking with the vendors, which filled the county with vitality.

Yang Lin closed his eyes and felt it carefully. This noisy market represented not only the vitality of life, but also a peaceful life.

Isn't history written by them what makes it so wonderful and extraordinary? Success or failure turns into nothing. How many people are still a little bit behind after all, so they don't leave their names in history. But who knows that there are more people who don't pursue fame and success at all?

Li, what they want is this kind of peaceful life.

If possible, I would like to rewrite history for the people, not for a person, a position, or a power. At this time, this scene and this feeling made him firm up his decision again.

After calming down, he remembered that Liu Bang's uprising was in Pei County. After he captured the city, he was called Pei Gong. He then worshiped under Xiang Yu's tent and was granted the title of King Huai of Chu. Then he marched westward to Xianyang and was granted the title of King of Han.

In the end, he occupied Guanzhong and fought for the world.

The two of them entered the city and saw several people watching on one side of the inner city. Li Ba didn't say anything, but he was very curious in his heart and ran over carelessly. Yang Lin had no choice but to lead the ox cart and go with them.

After careful questioning, he found out that it was the county government that had posted a notice to hand over Confucian books. Yang Lin immediately thought of the famous historical practice of burning books to entrap Confucian scholars.

In fact, burning books and entrapping Confucians are two different things. In 213 BC, because Confucian scholars opposed the system of prefectures and counties, the First Emperor burned books in anger. The entrapment of Confucianism actually involved the execution of 460 slanderous magicians in Xianyang in 212 BC.

Yang Lin had read these historical materials in books in his previous life, and now at the end of the Qin Dynasty, thinking about it carefully, from burning books to expelling the prince Fusu, the First Emperor had already begun to bury the dynasty he created with his own hands.

After dragging Li Ba away, the two of them first ate a few bites of the dry food they brought with them, and then asked around until they found the jade workshop. When Yang Lin opened the burlap, the owner of the jade workshop never left his eyes on the uncut jade.

The boss looked at it carefully, touched it with his hands, knocked and listened to the sound. After a while, he held his hands in front of him as a gift, and with a kind face, he gently advised, "I wonder how I can sell this jade? I am willing to pay..." he said.

Hold out five fingers.

Li Ba swallowed his saliva, stared at the boss's five fingers with wide eyes, and said slightly excitedly, "How many? Five..., five...pen?"

The boss glanced at him with some contempt, laughing at the fact that these country people had never seen money, but they still had a kind face. He shook his head and said, "No, I am willing to pay fifty copper coins."

You could already hear the sound of the stalwart man swallowing. His face was flushed, he stared at Yang Lin fiercely, and said hastily, "Brother Lin, fifty guan...fifty guan, how about we sell it to him."

Yang Lin's heart was beating loudly, but he didn't show it on his face because he was calm. Then he touched his chin and thought about it, sell it or not sell it? If you sell it, you can make fifty guan. If you don't sell it, you won't get any jade, and you'll just have to buy it.

Went back empty-handed.

But then I thought about it, isn't it just fun to gamble on stones? If you have to hesitate to lose this little, how can you lead everyone to survive in the future? Thinking about it like this, my heart suddenly became brighter. In the eyes of the boss who was looking forward to and sure of victory, Yang Lin was also

He smiled heartily and said:

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. It's better to cut this jade into pieces."

Not long after, Li Ba's thunderous laughter resounded throughout Yufang, then he raised his eyebrows, raised his head and chest like a fighting cock and left behind Yang Lin with great momentum.

The so-called fortune. After Yang Lin's rough jade was cut open, it actually contained a piece of suet-fat jade with good texture. Finally, he sold it to Yufang and made a full profit of ten taels of gold. This was definitely a fortune that fell out of thin air. Of course, Yang Lin also knew that Yufang

The boss is not a fool. If he is willing to buy, he can definitely sell it at a higher price, but that has nothing to do with Yang Lin.

"Liu Ji..., alas... Liu Ji, please wait for me."

After leaving Yufang, Yang Lin, who was very happy, heard someone shouting in his ear, and his expression couldn't help but freeze there, "Liu Ji? Liu Bang?"

He patted his head. Isn't this Liu Ji Liu Bang? Yang Lin immediately turned around and looked around. There were many people on the street, but the person who had just shouted was nowhere to be seen.

"What a pity!" I felt sorry in my heart...

Note: The First Emperor unified the currency and began to use gold and copper coins for circulation. Copper coins are the main currency. Gold is generally used as a reward. In order to highlight the value of uncut jade, gold is used for transactions here.
