Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 292 How many floors do they have to carry a bag of rice
Before they knew it, Ying Zheng and Zhao Kun had been in Zhangcao Village for more than two months.

It's hot summer now, and the heat wave is rolling.

At this time, under a big tree, Ying Zheng and Zhao Kun were enjoying the shade, and in the distance were tenants farming.

"Father, we don't have much money." Zhao Kun wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a grin.

In the past two months, they sold everything they could sell and hid everything they couldn't sell.

Although Zhou Kui saved them, living in someone else's house for a long time is not an option.

Therefore, Zhao Kun gave part of the money from the sale to Zhou Kui as a thank you, and used the rest to build a house and live.

Ying Zheng looked at the tenants, then at Zhao Kun, and said solemnly: "It's really not the way to sit and eat, we have to find something to do."

"We have no land, no one, and we are still outsiders, what can we do?" Zhao Kun asked with a wry smile helplessly.

"Didn't you have many ways to make money before?"

Ying Zheng squinted at Zhao Kun, and jokingly said, "Now is the time for you to show off your skills!"

"cut!"

Zhao Kun said with some contempt: "We were nobles before, and the nobles wanted to make money, so it wasn't easy? Now we are commoners, and the commoners want to make money, how can it be so easy."

As he said that, he couldn't help complaining: "If the adoptive father had brought up his business registration earlier, we could still start a small business. Now it's even more difficult to start a business!"

"Hey~ you brat!"

Ying Zheng glared at Zhao Kun, and said, "If you can't think of a way, you can't think of a way. Why are you blaming Yifu for coming?"

"It was your fault."

Zhao Kun muttered in a low voice.

Ying Zheng was angry and funny, and was about to speak up to defend himself, when he suddenly heard Zhou Kui's voice from a distance: "Xiao Zhao, Lao Zhao, why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time!"

"Ok?"

Hearing Zhou Kui's voice, Zhao Kun and Ying Zheng looked over at the same time, only to see Zhou Kui running towards him sweating profusely.

"Xiao Zhao...Old Zhao, let me tell you that the dock is recruiting workers for ten yuan a day!" Zhou Kui said out of breath.

Zhao Kun: "."

Ying Zheng: "."

The two looked at each other, both speechless.

After a while, Zhao Kun pursed his lips, looked at Zhou Kui with a strange expression, and asked, "What do you do to recruit workers at the dock?"

"What else can I do, carry the sack!"

Before Zhou Kui could finish his words, the tenants in the field hung up the white cloths around their waists to wipe off their sweat, shouted that they were dying of thirst, and then ran wearily to the well platform under the tree.

"Ah Kui, your relatives have nothing to do all day, and don't you find them a job?"

A young tenant yelled at Zhou Kui while drinking water.

Zhou Kui turned his head and said with a smile, "Chengdong Wharf is recruiting workers, I just told them!"

"Wu Ji at Chengdong Wharf is not easy to get along with, be careful."

"It's okay, let's help out and don't cause trouble!"

"It's better not to cause trouble, it's better not to cause trouble." The young tenants who were drinking water nodded one after another.

They grew up with Big Brother Zhou Kui, and when Big Brother Zhou Kui went to serve in corvee, they spontaneously took on the role of "Big Brother" and occasionally took care of Zhou Kui's family.

Although the care is minimal, everyone is a kind person.

Zhao Kun glanced at the group of tenants, then asked Zhou Kui, "Who are they talking about Wu Ji?"

"This..." Zhou Kui frowned, looking hesitant to speak.

Ying Zheng hated this kind of expression the most, so he spoke first, "Just say what you have to say, how timid a man is!"

"No, Lao Zhao, the thing is like this."

Zhou Kui was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice and said: "The Wu family was originally a noble of the Zhao country, but later Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, the family was destroyed, and the Wu family members scattered and fled;
Later, the county magistrate of Xiyang County was transferred, and a county magistrate from the Zhao family came. The Wu family and the new county magistrate were old acquaintances, so they returned to the city one after another. "

As he spoke, he looked around and found no one passing by, and continued: "There are four brothers in this Wu family, the eldest is Wu Bo, the second is Wu Zhong, the third is Uncle Wu, and the fourth is Wu Ji."

"Uncle Wu is a big merchant in this county. In the past, most of the grain and grass in the army were donated by Uncle Wu..."

"As for Wu Ji...he is the biggest bully in this county, someone who must never be provoked!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "You just mentioned Uncle Wu and Ji, but what about Uncle Wu and Uncle Wu?"

Hearing this, Zhou Kui replied cautiously: "Wu Zhong and Uncle Wu, because they committed a murder on the way to escape, they became bandits in Huangya Cave..."

"Wait a moment!"

Before Zhou Kui finished speaking, Zhao Kun waved his hand and interrupted: "You said that among the four brothers of the Wu family, the eldest donates food to the army, and the second and third fall into bandits?"

"Yes, it is."

Zhou Kui smiled wryly. He was also very surprised that such a family could gain a foothold in the county, and he didn't know what the county magistrate thought.

But in any case, he dared not talk about the county magistrate.

Seeing that Zhao Kun stopped asking, Zhou Kui looked at Ying Zheng again, and said sincerely: "Old Zhao, this pier in the east of the city belongs to the Wu family, and Wu Ji is in charge of guarding it. Although he is brave and ruthless, he has never done anything illegal. , as long as you obey the rules and help, he will not make things difficult for you!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng smiled noncommittally, then turned to look at Zhao Kun: "I don't have any opinion, it depends on Xiao Zhao's decision."

"Then Xiao Zhao..." Zhou Kui also turned to look at Zhao Kun.

Zhao Kun thought for a while, then said with a wistful smile, "Anyway, it's fine, just go and have a look."

"That's fine, I'll go with you!" Zhou Kui said excitedly: "There are a few acquaintances at the pier."

"Alright."

Zhao Kun nodded, then patted Ying Zheng on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, foster father, let them carry a bag of rice to how many floors!"

"........."

Ying Zheng rolled his eyes in his heart, he didn't believe that Zhao Kun would carry the sack, he must be planning something else.

However, the county magistrate of Xiyang County is really bold, he dared to collude with the bandits, could it be that he overshadowed the sky in Xiyang?
No wonder Zhao Kun said that there were problems with the officials of Daqin, and that this little Xiyang County had hidden a lot of tricks.

After thinking for a while, Ying Zheng got up with a sullen face, and followed Zhao Kun and Zhou Kui all the way to the east pier.

.........

Zhao Kun and Ying Zheng were taken by Zhou Kui to a shade tree, waiting for their companions.

Not long after, a few young men ran over in ragged shoes and ragged clothes.

"Ah Kui, here we come!" A short, older youth waved to Zhou Kui.

As soon as the young man finished speaking, everyone around him greeted Zhou Kui one after another.

"Brother Que!"

"Xiao Kui..."

"........."

Zhou Kui nodded to his companions, then pointed to Ying Zheng and Zhao Kun and introduced, "Second and third sons, let me introduce you. This is Xiao Zhao, and that is Old Zhao. Both are distant relatives of my family."

"This time I'm here to help at the dock, please take care of me."

"They're all my own people, so I don't have to take care of them." A taller young man said with a smile.

"Yes, they are all our own people, so we should take care of them." Another young man echoed.

At this time, the short young man frowned, pulled Zhou Kui aside, and said in a low voice, "Why didn't I hear that your family has distant relatives?"

Hearing this, Zhou Kui explained with a smile: "I didn't know at first, but later I heard from my mother that it was from my father..."

"From your father's side?"

"Yes, as you know, my father is an outsider!"

The short young man nodded, suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Zhao Kun and the two, and said, "I see that their skin is fair and tender, unlike ordinary people, don't be fooled by them!"

Zhou Kui shook his head and said with a smile: "My mother has confirmed their tokens, there will be no problem!"

"But……"

"Okay, Brother Niu, if you don't trust them, don't you trust me?"

Zhou Kui patted the short young man on the shoulder, and said with a serious face.

"Well, since you said he is a relative of your family, then I will treat him as a relative of your family, but the Wu family will check his identity, and it is impossible without a biography!"

"Don't worry, they have passed the test!"

Just as he was talking, there was a burst of yelling from the pier: "Second and third sons of helpers, hurry up and sign up, work will start soon!"

"Oh~~~"

The young people around who were about to sign up flocked to the sign-up office. Zhou Kui glanced at them and hurriedly said to Zhao Kun and Ying Zheng, "Xiao Zhao, Lao Zhao, hurry up and sign up!"

After speaking, he rushed towards the registration office with his companions.

Zhao Kun watched them leave, then turned to look at Ying Zheng: "Father, do you want to try?"

"Are you really going to carry sacks?"

Ying Zheng asked some weird rhetorical questions.

"If you don't carry the sack, you support me?"

"Stop being sloppy here, I know you have a plan!"

Seeing Ying Zheng's dissatisfied face, Zhao Kun pursed his lips and complained, "Father is so boring..."

"You are interesting, so tell me quickly, what is the plan!"

Hearing this, Zhao Kun asked abruptly, "Is foster father hungry?"

"Ok?"

"I see they are selling pot knuckle teeth over there, why don't we sign up after eating something?"

Zhao Kun said, pointing to the vendor not far away.

Ying Zheng followed Zhao Kun's fingers and found that someone was selling pot helmet teeth.

He always liked to eat Guokui Yazi, but now that it was meal time, he was really hungry.

But thinking of Zhao Kun's ghostly idea, he hesitated again.

However, just as he was hesitating, he saw Zhao Kun walking towards the vendor on his own.

The business of the street vendors is very good, and there is a long line outside, most of them are dock workers.

Zhao Kun and Ying Zheng have long adapted to the life of civilians, so they lined up honestly.

Seeing that the team was approaching him, in front of him was a beggar in ragged clothes, no shoes on his feet, and a bamboo pole in his hand.

Just at this time, a woman from behind came up cursing, thrust herself in front of the beggar, and said to the boss: "Give me five pot-hung teeth, my son is waiting to eat, and a bowl of broth to moisten his stomach. "

The beggar stretched out his dirty hands and was about to give money to the boss when he was pushed by the woman and fell to the ground with the money.

The beggar didn't care about the women who jumped in line, and hurriedly searched for the dropped coins.

The woman gave him a disdainful look, then turned her head to the boss and said, "Why are you standing still, get Guokui Yazi and broth!"

Ying Zheng was the most uncomfortable with bullying others, so he immediately yelled: "Where did you come from, who is so impolite? Others are in front of you, so you just jump in line, push others down, and don't even say an apology?"

"The appearance is impressive, but it's just a lowly family..."

The woman squinted at Yingzheng, and said contemptuously: "A lowly household and a beggar are the same thing. If you had status, you wouldn't come here to help!"

"you!"

Ying Zheng's chest heaved with anger.

If it had been in the past, he would have had this tricky woman executed long ago.

But now living in the market, he could only suppress his anger and turned to look at Zhao Kun.

"Father, Mo Qi..." Zhao Kun stroked Ying Zheng's chest, and said with a smile, "Let me do it!"

As he spoke, he took a step forward and said to the woman: "Although I don't know your identity, the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty have stipulated that if you bully the weak, you will be accused of going to the government, but you will be punished!"

Hearing this, the woman's complexion changed, and she said sharply: "Stinky boy, don't bully me, my Patriarch and County Magistrate..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhao Kun suddenly let out a long "Oh", pointed at the woman, and said to the crowd: "She bullies others, and the crime is aggravated, ranging from cutting her nose to severe crimes."

"you……"

Although the women were vicious, they were not well educated. When they heard Zhao Kun speak clearly and logically, they couldn't help feeling timid and speechless.

At this moment, the owner of the vendor came to smooth things over: "Young lady, little brother, our small business can't stand the trouble, I see you two, it's convenient."

Hearing what the boss said, the woman gave Zhao Kun a hard look and left the team.

Zhao Kun grinned, turned to the beggar and said, "Brother, you buy it first!"

"This……"

The beggar hesitated.

Zhao Kun hurriedly urged: "Hurry up, I'm hungry, you buy it so I can buy it!"

"Then...thanks a lot."

The beggar thanked Zhao Kun.

Ying Zheng glanced at the woman angrily, and snorted coldly, "Is it so cheap, that stupid woman?"

Zhao Kun smiled and didn't speak.

When the beggar finished buying the pots, he took a step forward and asked the boss, "Boss, how many pots and broth do you have in this shop?"

The boss was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and asked in doubt for a moment, "There are thirty more pots and helmets and ten bowls of broth. How much do you want?"

"It's all."

Zhao Kun replied without thinking.

"what?"

The boss didn't react for a while, but Zhao Kun yelled back: "Everyone, I want all the boss's pot helmet teeth. If you want to eat, I will sell them to you at half price!"

As soon as the words fell, the woman stomped her feet angrily: "You wicked boy, you have a very bad mind, you want everything, and your tone is not small, do you have so much money?!"

"If you have any money, don't you know if you come over and have a look?"

Zhao Kun sneered, then took out a handful of coins from his pocket, and splashed them on the table of the vendor.

The woman's eyes are fixed, and she is so angry that her eyes are not eyes, and her nose is not a nose.

"Unlucky! How unlucky! A lowly household has so much money!"

It seemed that the workers who were being scolded by women one after another as a lowly family could not stand it any longer, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

At the same time, I let out a bad breath in my heart.

Seeing the woman's son beating the woman because he didn't get the pot-knuckle tooth, Ying Zheng laughed and scolded Zhao Kun: "I know you have a lot of tricks, it's bad enough!"

"Where is this going? The good show is yet to come."

Zhao Kun took the Guokui tooth from the boss, took a bite, and looked at the mother and child with interest.

Ying Zheng frowned, and said with a cold snort, "It's really a decline in the world for a son to beat his mother, and it's a violation of filial piety."

"The so-called upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. It's just self-inflicted. We don't need to sympathize."

"makes sense."

Ying Zheng nodded approvingly, then also picked up the pot helmet teeth, and said viciously: "This wicked woman is so virtuous, what kind of good bird can she teach!"

"Maybe...it wasn't taught by this woman..."

"You mean, the status of this woman is not simple?"

Ying Zheng tilted his head and looked at Zhao Kun suspiciously.

"Jane is not simple, you will know later, let's eat and drink before we talk!"

After speaking, he picked up a bowl of broth and took a big gulp.
