Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

After breakfast, the servant went out to inquire about the news, while Wang Xiujin drank tea downstairs and waited for the servant. The people who had dinner talked about the suppression of the bandits with great enthusiasm, just like what they saw at the scene. Just listening to it made people feel interesting Chao said that the generals who suppressed the bandits were like heavenly soldiers and generals, but they suddenly appeared and killed the robbers without leaving a piece of armor. They seized a few large boxes full of ingots, captured many thieves, etc. Wang Xiujin felt Exaggeration, but it is true. Some people sneaked away and went straight to the Yamen. If they really made a lot of money, can the robbed traders get their losses back?

Wang Xiujin didn't know how lively the yamen was. While listening to the exaggerated description, he waited for the return of the servant, hoping that the servant would bring good news.

After waiting for nearly an hour, he finally saw the figure of the servant. When the servant walked in, seeing that there was no overly sad expression on his face, Wang Xiujin heaved a sigh of relief. "How? Can I find out what news?"

"I went to see the son of the Li family. Master Li reassured the young master that there were no casualties. The scouts went up the mountain yesterday afternoon and found the robber's base camp. Afterwards, General Li sent people to surround the mountain heavily, and sent They went up the mountain and set a fire, and then caught all the escaped robbers without any effort." The servant relayed what he heard from Mr. Li to the young master, "Mr. Li asked the young master to stay in the city for a few more days. After they went to the mountain to clean up, they set out to return home."

Wang Xiujin nodded, thinking of the real money that he had heard before, Wang Xiujin asked curiously, and the servant was amused, "The young master still believes such rumors." Need to ask more, but unfortunately, he seems to be very rich now, but he has seen the silver ingot, but he has never even seen the gold ingot.

The master and the servant didn't know, the more unreliable it was, the more likely it was true.General Li did confiscate a lot of things, including robbed goods, robbed women, and cash boxes. Of course, they did not blatantly transport them into the city. We can't all go into the city, but all the confiscated things, except the cash box, are sent into the city.It's not that General Li is greedy for money, but that the Yamen and the defenders have been unable to attack the bandits that General Li thinks are so easy to suppress. There must be tricks in it.

The local magistrate and guard immediately turned pale when they heard that the bandits had been suppressed by a group of people. They heard that the bandit suppressors had already entered the city, so they rushed over and saw that it was Li, who had just made great contributions at the border. General, the defense was almost paralyzed. If any general other than the Li family came, he would not be like this, but it happened to be from the Li family.The defense is not to be afraid of the Li family, but to be afraid of the emperor's order to the Li family, that the general will be outside, and he can kill first and discuss later.This decree started from Shengzong, and it is still valid today. After the new emperor ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to kick the prime minister away, and the second was to follow the decree.

The magistrate looked calm, and only he knew whether he was panicking or not.General Li was also very happy, although he had the intention to be side by side, but he couldn't do the thing of beheading his colleagues, so he took the garrison into custody and handed it over to the Ministry of Punishment after returning to Beijing.As for the magistrate, General Li kicked out his deputy to deal with it.

Wang Xiujin didn't know what was going on in the yamen, and after being offended that there were no casualties, he was in a good mood, so he took his servants to walk around the street, bought some souvenirs and gave them away.In addition to shopping, Wang Xiujin also visited the local grain shop with great concern. Wang's grain shop mainly deals in crab field rice. The output of crab field rice is quite a lot every year, but most of them are sent to the capital. Seeing that the amount of self-employment is really too small, he plans to get some other things, and he can't rely on crab field rice alone. If every family has crab field rice in the future, there will be no surprises in their family.

After entering the grain shop, Wang Xiujin took a closer look. There are several grades of rice. The biggest difference is old rice and new rice. The other is the grade determined by the color of the rice. I mentioned it to the shopkeeper before. Wang Xiujin still thinks It's a bit deceitful to make such a distinction, but after all, he has never done such a business, so he listened to the shopkeeper. After that, he went to Xiangcheng, Beijing, and visited the grain shop. The difference between them is also determined by the color, even the color of the old grain. It is better than new rice, and the price will be higher than new rice. Wang Xiujin really can't accept it.

In addition to rice and noodles, the grain shop has few miscellaneous grains. In comparison, the Wang family grain shop has more styles.Wang Xiujin turned around, and he didn't see beans and peanuts in the grain shop, let alone oil.Wang Xiujin had already made a decision in his mind that he would plant peanuts in the sandy land by the river beach after returning home.

In the market, Wang Xiujin didn't find anything good, but he saw a few steamed bun stalls. Recalling the real first pot of gold, Wang Xiujin went to buy steamed stuffed buns, and couldn't help but wrinkled when he ate them Mei, whether it tastes good or not is second. He bought a meat bun, but there was no meat in it.It is said that profiteers are not profiteers, but they should be so.As for the taste, if he hadn't cultivated the land himself, knew the hard work of the farmers, and experienced the suffering of starvation in the last days, he would have thrown away the buns in his hand long ago.

Wang Xiujin tasted several steamed stuffed bun stalls, and then felt that he was extremely masochistic.Not long after returning to the inn, Wang Xiujin felt a cramping pain in his stomach, and ran to the toilet quickly, but was still a step too late. After squatting down, he threw the mattress, and was so ashamed that he wanted to retreat and bury himself, it was too shameful .However, the cramping pain in his stomach quickly made Wang Xiujin unable to feel ashamed and resentful. After running a few times in a row, the little boy collapsed on the toilet and lost the strength to get up.

The servant hurriedly boiled hot water, and then ran to find the doctor.When the doctor came over, Wang Xiujin was still on the toilet. He really didn't have the strength to get up. Although he didn't feel the cramping, who knows if he will have the urge to go to the toilet again.The doctor didn't dislike it, and directly felt Wang Xiujin's pulse.After explaining the symptoms and prescribing a prescription, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom, poured a ball into it and fed it to Wang Xiujin.

"Don't be afraid, my lord. Although this medicine can't stop dysentery immediately, it can relieve pain and reduce body fatigue." Seeing the patient's frightened face, the doctor explained the effect of the pill.

Being punctured, Wang Xiujin felt a little awkward, but immediately thanked him.After the servant brought the medicine, although Wang Xiujin went to the toilet twice, his legs were still a little soft, and the pain was indeed relieved a lot.After drinking the medicine, Wang Xiujin ate some porridge, then fell asleep on the bed.Wang Xiujin didn't know how long he had been asleep, and he didn't know if he was in a dream or if he was half asleep. He had a vague feeling that someone was talking, but he couldn't make out what it was.

Li Sushan arrived at the inn where Wang Xiujin lived in the evening. He originally wanted to have dinner with Wang Xiujin, but Wang Xiujin fell ill. Dysentery caused by buns sold by street vendors."

"The doctor said the same thing. Some people in the city have already been hurt." The servant was full of remorse, and blamed himself for not stopping the young master. If he had stopped, the young master would not have suffered this crime.

"The government doesn't do anything, just collect money." After finishing speaking, Li Sushan hummed softly, and Li Sushan felt that the prefect here was very hypocritical.

Li Sushan was on official business, so even if he could come out, he couldn't stay for long, so he could only ask his servants to take good care of Wang Xiujin, and walked away after a few steps.Back at the place where the yamen had arranged for him to stay, Li Sushan took the initiative to find his father's room on a rare occasion.Li Junliang was very happy to see his son, and it was the first time that his son took the initiative to look for him since he talked about it. "Sit down and go see the Wang family boy? What did you two go to eat?"

"I didn't eat, Xiujin is sick." Li Sushan was a little cautious after sitting down, he didn't talk a lot like when he was with Wang Xiujin, but his father asked and said something, and sometimes he still didn't answer, just nodded and shook his head.Even so, Li Junliang felt very happy.

Li Junliang didn't think too much about Wang Xiujin's eating, he just thought it was a child's greedy mouth, but he still sent someone over to show his fancy to Wang Xiujin.The soldiers who got along all the way also wanted to visit Wang Xiujin, but they had official duties and couldn't go out, so they could only ask the people who visited Wang Xiujin in the past to help convey their concern.

After a night of sleep, Wang Xiujin felt much better. Seeing the people sent by General Li felt very heartwarming. Now he also understood why, when he was sick and hospitalized, he hoped that someone would come to visit him.I ate porridge in the morning and drank another bowl of decoction. It can't be said that I have recovered as vigorously as before, but I have strength.

With strength in his body, Wang Xiujin didn't want to stay in the house and wanted to go out for a walk, but the servant was worried and refused to agree to anything, insisting on letting the young master stay in the house for another two days, Wang Xiujin couldn't screw the servant, I can only rest in the room, but just staying like this is really boring.According to the servant, on the evening of the day when he fell ill, Li Sushan had visited. Wang Xiujin thought that Li Sushan would come again, but he was in the room for two days without seeing Li Sushan. He felt very uncomfortable. People who can't finish talking relieve boredom.

Li Sushan has been very busy recently, his father withheld the accusations, but he couldn't use the same method to deal with the magistrate, if he dared to touch the magistrate, those civil servants would be able to overthrow the Li family.Li Junliang has ordered people to rush back to the capital to deliver a letter, asking the magistrate how to deal with it.After the letter was sent away, Li Sushan was sent by his father to keep an eye on the magistrate.Li Sushan didn't have time to look for Wang Xiujin, but he would send people over every day to inquire about Wang Xiujin's situation.

When Wang Xiujin was finally able to walk out of the room, he heard a new rumor that the reason why the robbers here were so arrogant was because there were prefects and guards as the backstage, and the money they robbed was taken by the prefect and the guards, and the goods were taken away. Owned by the robbers.Every time the garrison and the magistrate went to suppress the bandits, they would first send people to the branch to make a sound, and the bandits hid, only to return again and again without success.

Wang Xiujin felt that both the defense and the magistrate here had problems with their brains. What is the difference between raising bandits and raising tigers?
