Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 855 Distribution
When we came out of the tavern, the sun had already set, and it was about to set.After bidding farewell to Lu Zongyuan, Chen Xiaohui strolled to Huitong Bridge.

At the head of the bridge, a person stands alone in the sunset, quietly watching the flow of people on the bridge.After looking at it for a while, I lowered my head and concentrated on drawing something.

Standing under the willow tree, Chen Qiaohui looked at this man with envy in his eyes.

The person at the head of the bridge is Zhang Zeduan. These days, every evening, he is at the head of Huitong Bridge to see the scenery on the bridge and the flow of people.Chen Xiaohui found him by chance, and often walked across the Huitong Bridge to watch him observe the flow of people.

This is a person from the painting academy. It is enough to paint a few paintings a year, and he can ponder for a long time like this.Where is it like myself, pick up the brush, and draw a picture in an instant.If you draw slowly, you may be hungry.

People are different, and painting is even more different.

Chen Xiaohui has a natural ability to copy and paint lifelike.No matter facing the real object or facing the old painting, you can get its charm.But once you draw it by yourself, either the proportion here is wrong, or the color there is wrong.Everyone shook their heads when they saw it.

Painting is not just about painting like.It includes two parts, the painter's understanding of the world, and the ability to express this understanding.Chen Xiaohui lacks one thing, and his paintings lack charm.Every day, I can only sell paintings in the market to get food and clothing.Can only be regarded as a painter, not a painter.

Chen Xiaohui was particularly envious when he saw the people from the painting academy.But knowing his identity, he didn't dare to approach him.

After watching for a while, Chen Xiaohui sighed.He took a carriage to the other side of the bridge and returned to his residence.

This is Yucaifang on the north side of Luohe River, and not far from the south is Jiaoyefang and Jidefang where the textile industry is concentrated.Due to the large number of people working in the factory, Yucaifang is a place for resettling floating population in Henan Province.

The gathering of floating population is naturally mixed with dragons and snakes, and the social relations are complicated.There are rich people who rent single-door houses.For those who are poor, four or five men live in one house.All kinds of mobile vendors on the street, shouting one after another.

The houses here belong to the shop and house affairs under the Henan government, and the shape and structure are relatively uniform.They are all small buildings with one or two floors and a courtyard outside.The yard is relatively large. In addition to planting some flowers and grass, you can also grow vegetables and fruit trees.But the size varies.The small ones are three tile-roofed houses with a yard outside.The big one has eight rooms, which are divided into upper and lower floors, with sixteen rooms.Bring the yard, very spacious.

Chen Xiaohui belonged to a well-to-do family, and rented a small courtyard with three rooms, and the monthly rent was three feet.This price is the government's preferential price. If it is a house at the market price outside, it will be more than ten guan.

Dian Zhaiwu has a large area of ​​land in his hands, and usually builds houses in a centralized manner and then leases them out.Generally, residential houses are cheaper, while commercial shops have variable prices.

Houses in this area, such as Chen Xiaohui's courtyard, will be rented by three families, and the rent will be the same.If you are working in a factory, the general salary is three or three yuan a month, which is relatively loose.

After entering the yard, Chen Xiaohui quickly walked back to his bedroom and hid the silver collar. 50 taels of silver collar is a huge sum of money for Chen Xiaohui.

After hiding the silver collar, Chen Xiaohui went to the yard, sat on the recliner, and stared at the yard in a daze.

The two magnolia trees at the foot of the wall are full of silver flowers blooming brilliantly.Next to the magnolia are two peach trees.The tree is full of red flowers, which is very beautiful.

After staring blankly for a while, Chen Xiaohui stood up to see that it was getting late.Too lazy to cook dinner, I wandered out of the room.Within a few steps is the market, brightly lit, and various vendors hawking.

On the side of the road, there was a stall selling roast chicken. The owner leaned on the handlebar and didn't shout.

The owner, Chen Xiaohui, knows him and has an excellent skill in grilling chicken.It's just that roast chicken is more expensive, and it's not affordable for ordinary people, and it's useless to shout.

Chen Xiaohui was so happy that he got a fortune today, so he went to the roast chicken stall and bought a roast chicken for three Wen.I went to the side to buy two cooking cakes and a gourd of wine, and dangled them home in my hand.

After leaving the tavern, Lu Zongyuan returned to his residence and fell asleep.I slept until dark, washed my face, and left the house.

After walking a few steps, he reached the bank of the Luo River.It was spring now, and there were many people on the edge of the Luo River, which was very lively.Lu Zongyuan walked forward along the river, and not far away, he saw bright lights ahead and a lot of people's voices.There is a lookout beside it, with a lamp hanging on it, with four big characters written: Fireworks in the world.

After entering the door, the young servant hurried up to meet him and said hello with his hands.

Lu Zongyuan said: "Did the stone member from the fruit guild and the grain member from the pastry guild come? Where is the old mason?"

The young man pointed to a small room separated by bamboo and said, "Shi Yuanwai and Gu Yuanwai are here, they are in the pavilion over there. Hou Yuanwai didn't see him, so he probably didn't come."

Lu Zongyuan said: "Okay, I have something to do with Shi Yuanwai and Gu Yuanwai."

After speaking, he walked into the small pavilion.

Shi Yuanwai and Gu Yuanwai were ordering food when they heard footsteps and looked up to see Lu Zongyuan.He smiled and said, "You have long legs! We are about to order, and you will be there!"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly asked Lu Zongyuan to sit down,

After ordering, I asked the servant to take the menu card.The stone official said: "We two thought that we would come late and have nothing to do, so we came to eat a grilled fish. Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanwai could smell the smell, so Baba came to find him. If there is nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall. Tell me, what do you want?" Find us."

Lu Zongyuan looked around and said: "There are also members of the masons' guild who are excellent, please invite him to eat together."

Shi Yuanwai and Gu Yuanwai looked at each other, and said, "Of course it's good. Just let the boy call."

After finishing speaking, he called the boy and asked him to invite Hou Yuanwai.

These three people, together with Hou Yuanwai, are the influential figures in this area.According to the principle of government supervision and private management, within a certain distance, there will be heads of all walks of life.Guild group work was originally created for the convenience of the government buying private goods.Now Wang Xiaolie's regime no longer buys goods in this way, and the first line of the meeting has completely become a management organization.

Within a certain area, the government has a supervising official who directly manages these leaders.In addition to management, the leaders of these clubs are not allowed to develop members beyond the scope, and their influence is restricted.Basically, the head of the meeting has changed from a role similar to that of a subordinate to a role similar to that of a servant.

There are supervisory officials at the top, and the power to manage the guild members at the bottom is not great, and there are management responsibilities on him, so the role of the head of the guild is not an ideal role.However, the benefits of being well-informed are still there, but the advantages are not so great.

In Lu Zongyuan's area, the four guilds are the largest.They are the fruit guild, the pastry guild, the masons and the dock workers. The others are too small to have much influence.The leaders of the guild are these four people, Lu Zongyuan, Shi Yuanwai, Gu Yuanwai and Hou Yuanwai.

If the government's management is not effective, these four people will be a powerful party, with important people under their command and rich money.In addition, their relationship is very good, and they can unite enough to monopolize one economy.But not now, either they are middle-class families, or they are just ordinary wealthy households.

When the fish first came up, Hou Yuanwai, with his hands behind his back, calmly came to the human fireworks.I greeted everyone and sat down.

After eating a few mouthfuls of fish and drinking a few glasses of wine, Gu Yuanwai said, "What's the matter with Lu Yuanwai, you can talk about it now."

Lu Zongyuan put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth and said, "A fellow of mine named Chen Xiaohui came to me today to ask for something."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him eagerly, Lu Zongyuan said: "This Chen Xiaohui is born with a talent. No matter what calligraphy or painting, in his hands, he can make exactly the same one. These days, he follows the meeting The appearance of the child—”

"Won't it come out after a while?" The clerk on the side opened his eyes wide in fright.

Lu Zongyuan nodded: "Yuanwai is right, it took a while to draw. But because it is painted by hand, and there are too many things in normal times, there are not many paintings. In half a year, there are only more than 100 strokes."

Gu Yuanwai curled his lips: "It's only over 100 in half a year, and the business is really deserted."

Lu Zongyuan said: "Besides Gu Yuan, not everyone is like you. They have a big family and a big business, so they don't care about these little money. For example, I can't earn a hundred yuan a year even if I eat and drink normally."

Hou Yuanwai said: "One hundred guan a year is not a small amount of money. Lu Yuanwai, what do you want to do?"

Lu Zongyuan said: "If it is just ordinary people, a hundred guan is not a small amount. To be honest, it is not easy to spend a hundred guan. Chen Xiaohui used to go to the market with a few guan when he was free. Spend it. A few guan is easy to handle, but a hundred guan is really helpless. Today he went to the gold and silver shop, and a hundred guan was exchanged into silver collars. The gold and silver shop is a place where money is played, and the person who pays It has been suspected for a long time."

The stone member was surprised: "If it can be seen, the money will be useless!"

Lu Yuanwai waved his hand: "Of course I can't see it. The gold and silver shop tried everything, and finally accepted them all. But after being frightened by this incident, he didn't dare to go to the gold and silver shop. Think of a way. I thought, even if he doesn’t do other things and concentrates on painting, he can only spend a few hundred guan a year. With the four of us, we can always come up with a solution for a few hundred guan.”

A few hundred pennies, in fact, either Shi Yuanwai or Gu Yuanwai will do.They want to buy goods and pay for them, who knows?But he was unwilling to take such a risk for nothing.

The house is outside the head of the mason's line, which is similar to Lu Zongyuan, so you can't count on it.

After thinking for a long time, the staff member said, "What benefits do we have?"

Lu Zongyuan said: "I haven't discussed it with Chen Xiaohui yet, so I can't give you a letter. However, I think it's okay for you to get [-]% of the benefits."

Shi Yuanwai nodded his head and remained silent.

Gu Yuanwai said: "Only [-]% of the benefits, less."

Lu Zongyuan sighed: "This is a meeting that can't be seen in a gold and silver shop. There is no risk at all, and [-]% is a lot. ——Okay, discuss this with Chen Xiaohui again, he is not a greedy person." People. It's easy if you want to."
