Chapter 604: Name Change
Huang Shi was also curious. Hidden masters like them had never lacked money matters, let alone paid attention to it, but now that it was brought up, they would become interested in it.
Hu Yi smiled and said: "I've asked about this. It's usually an ordinary job, such as a waiter in a shop. The monthly salary is two guan, which is two taels of silver, which is equivalent to four silver coins.
Because the imperial court minted new coins, one hundred copper coins were the same, one silver coin was half a tael of silver, and there were gold coins. Ten silver coins were exchanged for one gold coin.
Of course, sometimes the exchange price may vary due to market demand, and the decision-making power lies in the hands of the market and the court. "
Huang Shi and Gui Guzi silently remembered the last sentence. Although the exchange ratio of copper coins, silver coins and gold coins is not very fixed, they can be manipulated accordingly.
After the two exchanged glances, they seemed to know what the other wanted to do.
Guiguzi also asked again: "You just said ordinary wages, what about extraordinary ones?"
"It's not ordinary, that's high. If you take the position of team leader, the salary will be doubled. The higher the position, the higher the salary.
But if you want a high position, you need knowledge, and this knowledge requires reading.
Opportunities are now in front of everyone. If you don't study, you will never have the opportunity. You can only be an ordinary, more ordinary person for the rest of your life, and you will also be a poor person.
Unless I want to be a useless poor person for the rest of my life, then I don't care whether I go to school or not. "
Huang Shi smiled and said, "Have ambition."
Hu Yi smiled, and then pretended to be mysterious and said: "You may not know that I have secretly saved a lot of tuition fees, and I am waiting for the first day of September to start registration.
Let me tell you, there are currently more than 200,000 people like me who want to sign up to study.
As long as we can become students, our future will be better than now. "
"Then do you want us to help you?" Huang Shi smiled.
"Can you help me?" Hu Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and waved his hands, "Impossible. The First Emperor has clearly decreed that the country will be absolutely fair and just. All those who want to study, one thousand people will be drawn by lottery, and Only for people who haven't read the book.
People who have already studied, such as nobles, and a group of people such as Confucianists, are not allowed to register for primary school. "
"If you don't let them go to primary school, then they won't be able to learn new content?"
"You can buy books. Textbooks are already sold in major bookstores. I heard that the imperial court is going to build a library. No, it is already building a library. There will be all the books in China.
After screening, those bad books will be removed, and those that remain will be useful, as well as books that can broaden your knowledge and broaden your horizons. Hu Yi said enviously.
"If I can work in a library in the future, I can have endless books."
"Do you like reading very much?" Huang Shi asked.
"Of course, but there was no way before. Now that I have the opportunity, of course I have to make good use of this opportunity. Whether I can get what I want in the end depends on fate." Hu Yi showed a look of helplessness. .
"Haha..." Huang Shi laughed, "It's a good saying that you should do your best and obey fate. I believe you can succeed."
Guiguzi smiled and said: "Hu Yi, please change your name to Hu San. As long as you change it to Hu San, you will definitely be able to study and become a library staff."
"Is this possible?" Hu Yi asked suspiciously.
"Haha..." Guiguzi laughed, "This is the first time in my life that I, Guiguzi, have been suspected. Old friend, we have eaten and drank enough. It's time for us to leave."
Huang Shi smiled and said, "That's fine."
However, Huang Shi also told Hu Yi to change his name before leaving.
Hu Yi felt a little stupid at this time. What did he just hear? Guiguzi? The old man said he was Guiguzi?
Guiguzi? I actually saw Guiguzi? Where is the sky? I, Hu Yi, what kind of dog is gone?
Shit luck?
Hu Yi reacted and immediately went to the Ministry of Finance to change his name to Hu San.
Hu Bu asked him why, and Hu Yi directly said that Gui Guzi asked him to change it.
Everyone thought he was joking, how could Guiguzi appear in Xianyang City, but he still changed his name to Hu Yi.
Two days later, Ying Zheng came to find Gui Guzi and Huang Shi in person and wanted to take them to Zhaojiacun.
Huang Shi and Gui Guzi learned a lot of rules and information on the road.
The rule is that everyone's true identity cannot be revealed, and Qin An cannot know that this is Da Qin, but Ying Zheng told everyone that there is a court in this ten miles and eight villages.
What surprised Huang Shi and Gui Guzi even more was that Ying Zheng planned to defeat the imperial court and make all the towns and villages listen to Ying Zheng.
What left the two of them speechless the most was that Qin An actually believed Ying Zheng's lies. .
However, Guiguzi and Huang Shigong did not change their names. Instead, they claimed to be descendants of both Guiguzi and Huang Shigong. However, every generation of Huang Shigong called themselves Huang Shigong, and Guiguzi did the same.
After digesting the news about Ying Zheng, Guiguzi and Huang Shigong closed their eyes to rest. After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped and they both opened their eyes at the same time.
"Your Majesty, we have arrived." the guard announced.
Ying Zheng nodded slowly, and then said to Huang Shi and Gui Guzi, who had just opened their eyes, "Two seniors, we are here."
"We're finally here," Guiguzi said, "I can finally meet the legendary Imperial Master."
Huang Shi said: "Village chief, you said that the Emperor Master is from the future and knows what will happen two thousand years in the future. I am really curious, how do you believe him?"
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "You will know after you meet the Emperor Master. We still have a long way to go to the Emperor Master's residence. It will take an hour to ride a bicycle. Before that, the two seniors, please take a look at this This book."
Huang Shi and Gui Guzi each got a copy of "The Conflict between Chu and Han". They casually flipped through a few pages and were shocked by the contents of the book.
These two books are about the end of Qin and why the Qin Dynasty was overthrown.
The two looked at Ying Zheng in surprise. It was obvious that Ying Zheng had already read this book.
"village head."
"Two seniors, if you have any questions, please read the book before asking."
Ying Zheng directly interrupted Huang Shi's words.
Helpless, Huang Shi could only read in peace. Ying Zheng asked someone to call three tricycles, and immediately the three of them got on the tricycles and headed to Qin An's yard.
And this time, Ying Zheng brought a lot of things, such as canned fruits, dried fruits, wires, rubber, etc.
Now that the route between Guangzhou and Langye Wharf has been opened, Jiang Lu has made a lot of money. Excluding Ying Zheng and Qin An, he is the richest man in Great Qin.
Now that he is here this time, Ying Zheng will of course bring a lot of things, and there are also a lot of sea fish, but they are all frozen.
