It was almost dark when Zhang Wenyuan came out of the county captain's house. Gao Keji drank alcohol for the first time and naturally became very drunk. This old guy was so tall and strong that Liang Kun couldn't move him alone. As his confidant, Zhang Wenyuan had no choice but to get him on the bed together.
"Your wine is very strong. Please get more in the future!" Liang Kun asked him for the recipe while sending him out of the county office. "Brother-in-law likes drinking the most. I drank such a good wine today. I will definitely drink it in the future." I will come to you often, so you should write down the recipe to prevent me from running away often!"
Zhang Wenyuan laughed and said, "It's easy to talk about. It's easy to talk about. I'll record it for you when I get back. You can study it slowly!"
"Okay, you are worthy of being promoted by my brother-in-law. It's so interesting!" Liang Kun was very satisfied with his generosity. "Just wait slowly. When the time is right, my brother-in-law will definitely let you come back!"
The two waved goodbye at the back door.
Zhang Wenyuan is very satisfied with today's research results. He has no intention of farming and opening workshops like the time travelers in other books. In his previous life, he taught and educated people for five years, and then led the graduating class for three consecutive years. Although his results were very good, Okay, but he was too tired, which is why he went out to bomb the streets during the summer vacation. After coming to this world, he didn't want to be so tired anymore, he just wanted to live a more relaxed life. It would be best if I could find a big tree to lean on for the rest of my life. It's best if this big tree is an emperor, so that you don't have to work hard in this life and can just lie back to the 21st century.
Secondly, today is a feudal society with extremely low productivity. People will do anything to survive. It is very dangerous to have a bunch of epoch-making inventions and creations. It is better to cash them in advance and open a factory when you have the strength. .
Thirdly, it is quite cost-effective to be able to join the Gaoqiu line with just one recipe for making salt and steaming wine. At the beginning, he was a little reluctant to be tied to Gao Qiu, but he soon understood that this is a feudal society. If you want to stand out, you must have a backer. Gao Qiu is a thick and strong tree, and Li Daojun The emperor is close, which makes him an excellent supporter.
He didn't know what the real ending of Gao Qiu was in history, but judging from the fact that Gao Qiu was not there when Song Gaozong established the Southern Song Dynasty, he probably didn't have a good outcome. But this happened ten years later, so what does it have to do with the present? At worst, I met Song Gaozong early after he came to power. At that time, the country had undergone tremendous changes. Who would care that he was once a disciple of Gao Qiu!
Although paper money already existed in the Song Dynasty, it was not circulated among ordinary people, and China was a country short of silver. The only commonly used currency was copper coins. The standard currency was one thousand copper coins, which has now shrunk to seven hundred. Seventy. Even so, it is more than five kilograms. Five hundred kilograms is more than 2,500 kilograms. It must be pulled by a cart.
Naturally, Gao Keji would not have so many copper coins to give him. He only had house deeds and land deeds, as well as more than a dozen coins and a few pieces of silver, but even these were enough to bend his back.
When Zhang Wenyuan returned home out of breath carrying seventy or eighty kilograms of copper coins, four house deeds and eight land deeds, my mother and Li Dalian were so happy that even Yan Poxi, dragging her sick body, was happy for a while.
Seeing the pride on Yan Poxi's face, Zhang Wenyuan was a little puzzled and said to himself that as long as our family is happy, it's none of your business as an outsider. You really think of yourself as a member of the Zhang family!
After a few curses in his heart, Zhang Wenyuan began to divide the money. My mother only works and doesn't care about the house. She doesn't need much money, but she loves the house and land deeds, so Zhang Wenyuan gave them a house and land deed. She went to sleep happily. I would need to go out often in the future, and it was inconvenient to carry copper coins, so I kept the remaining scraps of silver and gave all the rest to Li Dalian to help her family.
Suddenly getting dozens of dollars and a dozen deeds, Li Dalian was overjoyed, and the look in his eyes no longer looked as angry as before. This woman's vision is too narrow. A few hundred dollars can make her change her view of a person. Zhang Wenyuan wanted to laugh at her, but in the end he held back and went to the study room to rest.
In the Song Dynasty, men with status did not have to manage secular affairs. All they had to do was go out to socialize every day and make friends with powerful people, just like Ximen Qing in "The Plum in the Golden Ping". In "Jin Ping Mei", Ximen Qing is either drinking or drinking flower wine. Many people think that he is not doing his job properly. In fact, this is the serious job of ancient dignitaries. When they are not socializing, they study, drink tea, and cultivate themselves at home. When something happens, they just write a letter to the friends they have made outside.
Zhang Wenyuan's family was poor and he had few social activities, but a man in the Song Dynasty must have magnanimity, so Li Dalian decided to find him a permanent attendant so that he would have face when he went out to socialize in the future.
After Zhang Wenyuan heard this, he finally couldn't help but laugh, "With only a few hundred pounds of property, I have to support a young boy. I'm not afraid of people laughing at me if I tell you!"
Li Dalian didn't hum back and forth like before, and said with affection in his eyes, "You can't say that. I have read all the land deeds you brought back. There are hundreds of acres in total. In the future, they will all be farmers." Yes, if we exchange those house deeds for land deeds, we can have hundreds of acres. With this income, we won’t have to worry about food and clothing."
This ugly wife was born to be a local housewife. Zhang Wenyuan said that in ten years Shandong will be the territory of the Kingdom of Jin. These house deeds and land deeds are all just a piece of waste paper. What is the use of keeping them? It is better to sell them for cash. Going to Southern Land.
Hearing that he was going to sell all the house deeds and land deeds for money, Li Dalian almost burst into tears. There was no longer any sympathy in his eyes, "Mother... my family finally saved some money, and you have to sell it again." Go and squander it, I won’t live anymore!”
Zhang Wenyuan, however, was unmoved and determined to cash out, "Speak nicely and don't cry, make trouble, or hang yourself at every turn. Who is going to squander it? This is called an asset-light strategy. What do you know?"
Naturally, Li Dalian didn't understand what light assets were, so she really cried. As soon as she cried, she called Zhang's mother over. When Zhang's mother heard that he was going to sell the newly acquired property, she also expressed firm opposition, "San'er, You are not young anymore, you can't just eat one meal and ignore the next like before, it's time to buy some property."
Zhang Wenyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Mother, of course I know this. Take a good look at where the property in these deeds is and how it came from. After reading it, you won't think so!"
Most of these deeds were pawned in pawnshops, and a few were used by gamblers to pay off debts. The former were located in a remote location and were the foundation of the original owner's livelihood. It was not easy to recover them. The latter was probably blackmailed by Lei Heng to pay tribute to Gao Keji, and it is a controversial asset. In short, these deeds are very hot potatoes. Without a strong backing and a shameless black heart, it is impossible to become oneself, so they can only ask them to redeem them with money.
Zhang Wenyuan pointed out the deeds to Zhang Mu and Dalian one by one, and finally said helplessly, "It's useless to keep these deeds. It would be a pity to throw them away. It might even cause trouble for yourself. It's better to just sell them." Don’t worry about it.”
Zhang's mother was not a fool. She soon discovered the fishiness and sighed, "Sanlang is right, Dalian, don't cry. Listen to your man!"
Li Dalian knew that the matter was irreversible, so she obediently boiled water for him to take a bath. Looking at the busy ugly wife, Zhang Wenyuan sighed inwardly, this is a man, it feels so good to keep his word!
