Chapter 4 Big Brother, I Have No Money

It is impossible not to say that this ancient famous doctor Liu Han is really good at it. Dong Zunhui, who was bruised and dying, was able to get out of bed and walk after taking more than ten medicines. Of course, this is inseparable from the careful care of the little maid Huamei, and the various tonic medicinal materials sent by the old lady from time to time. However, the more nourishing medicinal materials are given, Qiuxiang's face becomes worse and worse, and even the little maid Huamei begins to sigh.

Dong Zunhui didn't care at first. He had just traveled back to the ancient times. What he cared most was to understand the current historical trend and take advantage of the time traveler's natural advantage of being foresighted. The thrush was just a little girl who didn't understand the world. The real information was brought out from his cheapest brother's mouth, but the more he understood, the more bitter he felt inside.

Now that the Khitan troops have just retired from the Central Plains, there are still many scattered soldiers and greedy for the Central Plains scenery in various places who are part-time bandits. It has been a few days since the Later Han Liu Zhiyuan ascended the throne, and wars are everywhere. In Dong Zunhui's impression, Guo Wei, who established the Later Zhou Dynasty, is still working for Liu Zhiyuan honestly and diligently. As for the Zhao Kuangyin who founded the Song Dynasty later - who knows which onion he is now!

Dong Zunhui also had a preliminary understanding of his identity. He is now the second son of Dong Zongben, the governor of Suizhou, and is also a second-generation official. His cheap father Dong Zongben is also a very eye-catching person. He originally worked in Zhao Yanshou and his treatment was really good, but Dong Zongben found that Boss Zhao was limited in ability and his future was bleak, so he decisively changed jobs and defected to Liu Zhiyuan, Taiyuan, Shanxi. Liu Zhiyuan was very happy, which means what

Is that what I mean is more appealing than the governor of Youzhou, Zhao Yanshouniu, and so I attach great importance to Dong Zongben. Dong Zongben himself is also good at his own conditions. He is skilled in literati, and he is also familiar with poetry and books among military generals. In addition, he is Feng Dao's elder brother-in-law. When Liu Zhiyuan ascended the throne and became emperor, Dong Zongben was immediately valued and sent to Suizhou as the governor, supervising the local government to contact the central government, and also being a member of the party.

As a time traveler with ideals and ambitions, although Dong Zunhui has been coveting the career of the second generation of officials for a long time, he does not want to waste his life. At least he is not just a waste of life. He has to make a difference by keeping a low profile! However, although he knew that this was the Later Han Dynasty in the Five Dynasties, he did not have the slightest sense of predicting history, because Dong Zunhui was really not familiar with this historical period! If you want to talk about the Three Kingdoms, anyone in the Chinese can talk a few times, but when it comes to the Later Han Dynasty, God knows what happened in the next few years?!

Dong Zunhui could only feel sad secretly. It seemed that most of his time travel advantage had disappeared invisibly, so he could only think of another way. He secretly recalled the time travel historical novels he had read in the past, thought about the glorious history of time traveling through his predecessors and becoming rich and becoming a general of the marquis, and thought about the great artifacts that made money by making money: glass? I have only used it but have not made it, veto it! Papermaking? God knows what steps are there, veto it! My old pharmacy? I just passed the exam subjects, and I can't even recognize a few medicinal materials. As for the prescription, I was lazy and didn't memorize it when I was in school!...

By the way, I can brew high-alcohol! But this requires distillation instruments. At least there must be an iron pot with a lid. But the kitchen is now public and there is no condition to do it secretly. As for custom-made at the blacksmith shop (this is something that most time travelers often do), Dong Zunhui dare not bet on his luck: those skilled craftsmen who are skilled and skilled actually stick to the secrets and watch the time travelers make money, but they don’t try to build the same utensils. They are really a super loyal figure in the legend! Dong Zunhui feels that he will be covered in bruises as soon as he travels through time. His luck must be average. Wait until later, try to distille the bar when he has the conditions...

He thought about it one by one, and he rejected it one by one, and finally decided to take a shower and go to bed. Anyway, his father is the governor of Suizhou, and he is also a second-generation official, so he can live a life. When he is well cultivated, he will go to the brothel to "save" the young woman who falls in love. It is best to meet a pretty woman who sells herself to bury her father, and the legendary wonderful time with three wives and four concubines. As long as he thinks about this wonderful day in the future, Dong Zunhui's saliva cannot stop flowing...

However, a few days after the leisure time, Dong Zunhui discovered a problem, that is, his family had no money. Even the elder brother who called his friends to visit the brothels every now and then stayed at home to tease the maids, where would he have free money?! How could it be possible? My own son is the governor of Suizhou! He is a governor, and in modern society, he is the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor level. In addition, in troubled times, there is restlessness in various places. Dong Zongben was also in the commander of the county soldiers, which was equivalent to the commander of the military sub-district. Such a military and political leader had no money. Isn't he kidding?!

Dong Zunhui was extremely surprised, especially when his elder brother Dong Zunxun came to borrow money from him, this surprise became even more prominent. Anyway, he had become familiar with Dong Zunxun these days, and the two of them talked about anything. Dong Zunhui asked in confusion without hiding it, "Brother, our father is the governor of Suizhou, isn't there any prefects or something like this? Then our father is the boss of Suizhou! This elder brother of Suizhou is actually short of money, and you, the eldest young master of Suizhou, is actually short of money. Isn't this a joke!"

Dong Zunxun often came to visit these days, and had long been accustomed to Dong Zunhui's tone. He sighed: "Second brother, you don't know anything! After Emperor Taizong of Liao, Yelu Deguang, entered Daliang, in order to ensure the supply of the Liao army, he ordered cavalry to go out everywhere and rob the people's property in the name of grazing, called "Dacao Valley"! Daliang, Luoyang and the surrounding counties and counties were empty in property and livestock, and the people were brutally killed. This is far away from us and has not had a great impact on Suizhou. However, in order to reward the army, Yelu Deguang sent management to various places to plunder the property, which caused the people to live in misery and complain. The plundered property, together with the money and grain in the warehouses in various places, were all included in Yelu Deguang.

The warehouse is transported back to the north. The warehouses in our Suizhou are empty, and rats can starve to death. It is still early to collect money and grain in the autumn, and my father is unwilling to disturb the people. The only taxes have to support soldiers and comfort Suizhou, such as pensions for widows, widows, orphans, repairing houses, buying mansions, etc., you must add any money by yourself! In addition, you are seriously injured and needing to nourish the precious medicinal materials, so you spend more money at home. Now, except for you, everyone's monthly money has been reduced by half. Your elder brother used to have a tael of silver every two months (a tael of about twenty taels,), and now it is only five taels of silver a month, so poor that you don't even dare to pay the door! Isn't your monthly money not reduced, just help your elder brother!"

Dong Zunhui quietly calculated: The eldest brother's five taels of silver per month is equivalent to 500 grams of silver now, and the silver price is about 6 yuan per gram. So, the eldest brother also has 3,000 yuan a month. I heard from Huamei that buying a steamed bun now costs two big money, and going to the supermarket to visit a supermarket will cost 50 cents a 50 cents a year, which means that a big money is equivalent to 25 cents a year. The eldest brother's 3,000 yuan is equivalent to 12,000 yuan a day, about 12 jin of money, and he can buy 6,000 steamed buns! It's a lot, but Dong Zunhui smiled bitterly. The eldest brother has to pay the overnight fee every few days and find a red-card girl. The money is indeed a bit stretched.

Dong Zunhui thought to himself: Anyway, I don’t go out now, and I always put the money in Huamei, and it always looks like fifty or sixty taels. Why don’t I lend it to him? However, when I just came to this era, there may be more places to spend money, and it is still safer to be prepared. He hesitated, so he quietly squeezed at Huamei and asked her for her opinion. Anyway, this close-fitting little maid will become a maid in the future and will also be the inner steward of the future. Let’s leave money to professionals. Besides, this little girl is extremely cautious in her usual way and will never be able to spend money randomly.
