Chapter 58
The course on that day was very relaxed. Maybe Master Zhou walked a long way and felt uncomfortable. He didn't have much energy and was exhausted with a few energetic boys. He mainly listened to the reports of four students' self-study lessons during this period and asked some questions casually. However, Changsun Hong was fine and could answer them. When the three brothers Li Wen asked a muffled gourd, they couldn't answer anything, and threw Master Zhou's good mood into the ditch.
"Absurd! Absurd!" Master Zhou blew his white beard and stared at the fingertips, making a sound of the ring ruler: "You three are going to go to the county school, and they are still so unworking. Before I leave, I repeatedly asked you to read and practice calligraphy. Do you think it's all in front of me? It is important to note that there are many students in the county school. You went there and mixed fish eyes. When others asked, wouldn't it be a shame for me, Master Zhou? Don't say today, one person will get ten ring rulers!"
The sound of the bamboo board falling from "papapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapa
The letter was carefully collected by him in the inner layer of the bag, and the treasures were usually hidden. In the future, this will be his magic weapon to settle down, but he will not be careless.
Because the get out of class was over early and before noon, Changsun Hong hurriedly ran to the village threshing farm. Today, Carpenter Zhang was coming, so he had to go and have a look.
Before we arrived at the place, we saw the crowds of people in front of us. Many villagers surrounded the huge threshing farm three layers inside and outside, stretched their necks and looked inside happily. From time to time, the crowd made a series of praises, as if they had seen something extraordinary and rare.
Changsun Hong was secretly happy and squeezed in. At first glance, he saw Carpenter Zhang erecting his chest and folding his belly, rushing a donkey with a thrill of excitement and pulling the wooden rice mill quickly. The yellow brown rice, accompanied by the "qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq
Zhang couldn't even close his mouth and smiled happily. Carpenter Zhang proudly shouted at the donkey and danced his whip so hard that it was "slap".
"It's amazing, it's amazing! This guy crushed a few males in the morning and it took him one or two days to pound the rice. It's so fast!"
"I heard of this rice mill last month, but I haven't seen it. It has spread in Zhangjia Village for a long time. Many people are scrambling to invite Carpenter Zhang to grind rice. It's very convenient."
"Do you think you can just come here just by asking someone? Haven't you heard anyone tell me? This is what Erlang from Changsun Baozheng's family came here. This machine is so expensive, it costs several cents of money per machine, and it can't be afforded."
"How many cents of money? I like it, it's so expensive!"
The villagers watching were whispering and talking. Changsun Hong squeezed through the cracks, greeted his mother, and greeted Carpenter Zhang.
When Carpenter Zhang saw Changsun Hong, he stuffed the whip that drove the donkey to a disciple who came with him. He mysteriously pulled Changsun Hong aside and secretly stuffed him a wallet.
The wallet was very heavy and pinched with your hands. It was hard inside, unlike copper coins. Changsun Hong weighed suspiciously, and looked at Carpenter Zhang with confusion in his eyes.
Before he could speak, Carpenter Zhang covered his mouth first, saw that no one was paying attention to it, and then he approached Changsun Hong's ear and said happily: "I changed it to silver, I'm afraid that copper coins are not portable. This is the latest advantage, according to Erlang, you deserve it."
This time it was Changsun Hong's turn to be surprised. The rough estimate of the silver in the purse was at least nearly one pound, which was about ten taels. Not long ago, Carpenter Zhang gave the money once. How long has it been? Why did so many more share it?
Facing Changsun Hong's puzzled gaze, Carpenter Zhang's face turned into a balloon. He smiled and said, "I have been working hard for dinner and sleeping these days. Everything in the workshop has stopped. All the people have driven me to make rice mills. Hi, you don't know, Erlang, now everyone knows the benefits of this thing, and those who come to buy it have almost cut the threshold. Because there is not enough manpower and cannot do it, the customers waiting in line are all waiting for next month. These share of this prosperous business is inevitable."
This was beyond Changsun Hong's expectations. He thought he wanted to promote rice mills, but it was impossible to do it in just a few months and half a year. After all, this was an era of information blocking, and the news was passed down by people. Unexpectedly, in just over a month, it was known to everyone.
"Everyone likes convenient things." Carpenter Zhang smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into a slit. Changsun Hong got less than he did, so he naturally had to make a fortune: "By the way, this time I helped you grind rice for you is free, no money, no money!"
Changsun Hong smiled, pinched the considerable wallet and laughed at Carpenter Zhang. He was rich and he was in a good mood.
Squatting beside him and looking at the rice mill watching the crowd, Changsun Hong happily calculated how much benefits it could bring to himself before other carpenters mastered the tricks of construction?
The more you have, the better. This is the first pot of gold, and the future capital will depend on it.
I’m happy to make money by sitting on the ground!
However, just after noon, Changsun Hong had just returned home and put down his bags and hid the silver, Li Wen and Li Wu brothers came to the door.
"We will leave tomorrow. You can clean up and prepare to go to the county town with us." Li Wen was furious, put his hands in his sleeves, and said to Changsun Hong with a stern face: "We sent someone to notify Gouzi, and my father agreed. He said that anyway, we three brothers were in the county town and one student was one student, and we didn't have one, you two."
"Why are you so anxious? Don't you wait until the end of the month?" Changsun Hongqi said. He knew that county schools recruit students, and usually start recruiting in spring and autumn every year, to meet the three-year provincial capital spring exam. The next enrollment period will have to wait until early November, and there will be more than ten days left.
"We can't wait for a day!" Li Wu shouted angrily, staring at Changsun Hong with jealous eyes: "My teacher won't hit you anymore, I'll hit us instead! The ruler is big again, and it hurts when you hit it. If you hit it a few more times, you can't even hold the chopsticks!"
Li Wen also curled his lips and said, "We went to beg for my father and went to the county town early. Even if we leave home, it would be better than being scolded by the Master every day."
Changsun Hong's face turned red and he held back his smile. It turned out that these two boys were beaten so hard that they could not bear the corporal punishment of Master Zhou, and then they remembered to escape. Isn't this the same way as the poor students in later schools who could not bear the education and ran away from home?
He thought for a while and asked, "Then why don't you tell your father to change a seat? With your family's financial resources, you can hire another gentleman."
The two brothers looked at each other and lowered their heads. Li Wen said disheartenedly: "Don't mention this. Because of this, my father scolded our brother hard and said that the Master was Mr. Cihuan who he had finally invited. Don't be ungrateful and picky."
Li Wu interrogated: "Master Zhou is said to be very knowledgeable, and his father believed in him very much. He heard from him that the Master had been a very big official before, so that we could learn more from the Master in the future."
Li Wen pulled his hand out of his sleeve and patted it into the void. Changsun Hong noticed that his hands were red, and it seemed that he was beaten very lightly: "What's so great about Master? I'm not hired by my father. In my opinion, no matter how high his knowledge is, it's not worth learning so many books!"
Li Wu shook his head and echoed: "It's right, it's right!"
Seeing the two live treasures complaining, Changsun Hong felt funny and was too lazy to persuade them to Xiang Xue, and said casually: "Yes, just like me, it's much better than your homework. You're still a gunman."
The two of them loved to hear these words, and they couldn't help laughing when they heard the sound. Bullying Changsun Hong was originally one of their hobbies, but now they are restrained by Changsun Hong and have no choice but to rely on the principle of having money to find a balance.
"That's, Changsun Hong, don't worry, as long as you are a gunman for our brothers in the future, we will not forget you." Li Wen pretended to be generous and patted his chest, probably shaking the pain in his hands, and grinned: "I went to the county town and found fun and had fun, and we were all ours."
Li Wu put his head over and smiled mysteriously: "I heard that there is still such a place in the city, with women. Hehe, my father has been there. My third aunt said that we will also open our eyes when the time comes."
The two brothers laughed, and the haze was wiped out.
Changsun Hong suddenly felt a headache. A twelve-year-old child was walking in the kiln? Isn’t this a mess?
