I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 166 Smuggling
The next day, the Zhou family had just finished breakfast when Guan Yi arrived with someone, and the timing was very precise. They said that no one was sent to stare at the Zhou family. Zhou Yu and his wife did not believe it.

The ones Guan Yi brought were not children, they were all in their 20s, all dressed in ordinary clothes, and all ten of them looked quite ordinary, the kind you couldn't find in a crowd.

Yang Xi thought to himself, Guan Yi's mind is indeed not small.

Guan Yi said: "They will be handed over to Mr.

Zhou Yu saw that everyone brought their own pen and ink, and felt very good, "Well."

Guan Yi didn't have time to stay and listen to the lectures. He wanted to train the people here. He would go back after the year, and the base camp could not do without him.

Zhou Yu waited for Guan Yi to leave, changed his indifference, and said gently, "Everyone should do the registration."

Yang Xi's prepared form, name, age, hometown, etc.

The ten people are all simple literate, and Guan Yi spends so much money not to send people who know nothing to learn.

Yang Xi put away the form and glanced at it briefly, um, it's all fake names, really careless, from Zhao Yi to Zhao Shi.

Zhou Yu twitched the corners of his mouth, really cautious, "I'll take a thorough examination for you first, ten papers, half an hour."

The paper that Yang Xi and his wife wrote last night had a total of ten questions, and there were not many questions.

The faces of the ten people were particularly calm, and they took the paper and carefully reviewed the questions before filling them out with pens.

Guan Yi only invited Zhou Yu to teach him, and Yang Xi also had the task of observing ten people, in case he would meet Yang San one day later!
Half an hour passed quickly, Zhou Yu picked up a paper, did not correct it, and directly taught ten questions.

After the lecture was over and it was time for the get out of class to end, Zhou Yu only looked through ten papers and had a count of ten people.

In the afternoon, Zhou Yu gave a lecture directly, and Uncle Zhong came to observe.

Yang Xi asked, "Isn't Uncle compiling books? Is it almost done?"

Zhong Yan stroked his beard, "It's almost done, come out and relax."

Yang Xi is looking forward to the teaching book edited by Uncle. In ancient times, those who could become jinshi and gain a foothold in officialdom were all geniuses among geniuses. Uncle is indeed not as knowledgeable as the two of them, but he has accumulated knowledge of his own!

Yang Xi thought of his eldest son. Since the Zhong family had a study, Ziheng often went to the Zhong family for the books in the study.

Zhong Yan suddenly whispered: "The military book I borrowed for Xixuan will be delivered in a few days."

Yang Xi, "Uncle is still very good."

When the uncle didn't get on Yang San's boat, the uncle watched Brother Zhong Jin buy a civilian military book. After getting on the boat, the uncle shared his contacts and borrowed the military book for Yang San.

Zhong Yan, "This military book is the life-long war theory of the famous generals of the previous dynasty, but unfortunately it is not the original."

His friend's house has a lot of books, and this military book was written silently by his friend's ancestors!
Yang Xi asked, "What did Uncle pay?"

Zhong Yan smiled, "I'm just borrowing it, the affection is still there."

Yang Xi said: "When Xixuan comes back, he will definitely not disappoint his uncle."

Zhong Yan stroked his beard, "I don't know if they have returned."

Yang Xi, "I don't expect Xixuan to come back for the new year, just come back before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

The ancient information is too inconvenient. They don't know any news in the capital at all. Because of the waste of manpower, Yang San will not send someone to send the letter back. Now they all rely on guessing!

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the end of the year is coming, and every family is getting ready for the new year.

Yang Xi and Zhou Xiaomei bought the New Year's goods, who made the men in the family busy.

The first New Year after settling down was very important to the Zhou family, and Yang Xi bought a lot of New Year's goods.

The news came from the county today that the tourist merchants who come every year are here. Every year, the tourist merchants will bring a lot of fresh goods around. The end of the year is the time when the tourist merchants are the most.

Tourist merchants also have their own routes. This group of tourist merchants has been in Xiang County for more than ten years.

Because of the travel business, Zhou Yu deliberately took a half-day vacation and personally took his wife and younger sister to the county to see.

Arriving at the county seat to meet Zhong Jin and his wife, Yang Xi wondered, "When we first came to Ruizhou, it wasn't New Year's Eve yet, why didn't we see the traveling merchants?"

Zhu explained, "You don't have to worry about selling the goods of the traveling merchants. They won't stay too long. When you went to Ruizhou last year, they probably left."

Yang Xi looked at the shed that had been built. The shed was very long, about seventy to eighty feet in length. There was a shelf in front of the shed, and goods were being placed on it one after another.

The floor in the shed was covered with thick straw, and several layers of bamboo mats were laid on it.

Yang Xi's eyes fell on the bamboo mat, which was full of boxes, and the goods were all in the boxes.

Zhu said: "Don't look at the poor environment, the goods sold are all good things."

Yang Xi looked at Shi Chen, "When will it start?"

Zhu Shi said: "Wait until the goods are placed, soon."

There were a lot of people gathered in front of the shed. At first glance, they were all well-dressed buyers. Ordinary people didn't come forward. They were all standing far away to watch the excitement.

Zhu Shi noticed Yang Xi's gaze, "People dare not come here. If they break something, they will pay for it. They can't afford it."

Yang Xi knew that there must have been a lot of compensation incidents before, and the people were afraid.

Yang Xi and his party are very conspicuous. The county magistrate's husband and wife, and the big families in the county know each other, so Yang Xi's side is not crowded at all.

When the time came for the goods to be laid out, a drum sounded, and the traveling merchant opened all the boxes on the shelf.

Yang Xi blinked, gem jewelry, delicate silver gem wine glasses, the most conspicuous is the chiming bell, and several small glass products.

Yang Xi returned to Zhou Yu and said, "The sea ban can't stop smuggling. Listening to the price of each commodity is really huge profit."

Zhou Yu looked at the goods on the shelf and recalled the goods in the foreign goods store in Beijing, "Many of the goods sold in the Jingcheng store are not as good as those sold by tourists!"

"Who made the south prosperous, there are many good things to see."

Zhou Yu asked, "Anything you want to buy?"

Yang Xi really had it, and his eyes fell on the self-ringing bell. Unfortunately, the price was too beautiful. The bundle repaired from Guan Yi had already spent a hundred taels. Jewelry, etc. Zhou Yu bought gifts for the whole family.

Zhou Yu also noticed the self-ringing bell and was silent, it was indeed too expensive.

Zhou Yu and his wife are not surprised by the smuggled Western goods, except for the self-ringing bell, they have no intention of buying them.

This year, the Zhu family has a lot of money, so he bought a set of jewelry for himself, and then turned back to Yang Xi, "Didn't you like it?"

Yang Xi shook his head, "No."

Zhu Shi wants to buy too many things, "the price is too expensive."

Yang Xi, "Excessive profits."

Zhu Shi, "Huh?"

Zhou Yu asked Zhong Jin, "Does brother know that these are smuggled goods?"

Zhong Jin nodded, "Yes."

Zhou Yu continued to lower his voice and asked, "No one cares?"

Zhong Jin took Zhou Yu away from the crowd with a sarcastic tone, "No one dares to control, there are forces behind the traveling merchants, I don't know how many forces and families are involved, who dares to manage with huge profits? Who cares who doesn't want to live anymore."
