I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 167 Crazy
Zhou Yu looked at the fiery tourist shed, the goods were worth tens of thousands of taels, "profiteering."

Zhong Jin's face was cautious, "Yes, it is precisely because of the huge profits that the various forces are closely linked together. The huge profits are crazy. Whoever dares to smuggle at sea, whose family will not want to see the sun the next day."

Zhou Yu understands that killing one person will not have the effect of warning, only the whole family can shock people, and the prince with huge benefits can be killed.

Zhong Jin continued: "All the forces and families in the south are more or less involved, and the fight can only be fought within themselves, and whoever touches the outsider will die."

Zhou Yu, "It seems that they are fighting fiercely."

Zhong Jin sneered, "For the sake of profit, Jiangnan is rich, hehe, under the rich is darkness."

Some families in Dazhou are the local emperors, and court officials must be careful to flatter them.

Zhou Yu looked at the crowds vying for goods. The families were intertwined. The imperial court's control over the states was declining year by year. The development of the family has reached a shocking level.

Zhou Yu looked at the goods, listened to the shouts of the traveling merchants, the spices of the West, etc., and did not hide the smuggled goods at all.

When the valuable items were almost sold out, Yang Xi saw the full set of Western painting tools and dyes that he was interested in.

Yang Xi bought a set, the price is not cheap, a set of ten taels of silver.

Zhu Shi was speechless, "This is too expensive."

Yang Xi smiled, "For the school."

Zhu Shi, "That's also expensive."

Yang Xi is good at mental arithmetic. She accompanied Zhu to choose things, and she calculated based on the price of the goods. When the group returned to the county government, Yang Xi sat down and said, "In an hour, I sold 8000 taels around me."

Zhou Yu squinted his eyes, "It seems that I am short. These goods are worth 9 to [-] taels."

Yang Xi sighed, "There are so many rich people in Xiang County."

Zhong Jin smiled, "There are indeed many."

Zhu Shi really hadn't calculated the value of the goods in silver before, and now he breathed a sigh of relief, "Wandering merchants make money once a year, how much wealth have they accumulated over the years?"

Zhou Yu explained, "In fact, smuggling is also risky. There are too many unpredictable things at sea, and sometimes ships crash and kill people."

Zhong Jin, "The risk is so high and smuggling is still a huge benefit."

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhu Shi said, "Eat first."

After lunch, Yang Xi and his wife went to the pen and ink shop to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstones. The households consume fast, and the shopkeepers are familiar with them.

The shopkeeper asked, "Is it the same amount as usual?"

Zhou Yu said: "Four times as usual."

The shopkeeper was so happy that he asked the staff to prepare, and he even wiped a fraction of the bills.

Yang Xi and his wife left the store, and Zhou Yu asked, "Where are you going?"

Yang Xi bought all the New Year's goods. She was afraid that she forgot to write the list specially, and she didn't miss anything, so she thought about it, "Buy some snacks to go back?"

Zhou Yu, "Okay."

The two went to the dim sum shop. There were many varieties of dim sum in the south, and Yang Xi bought a lot of dim sum.

When the couple went home, Yang Xi saw that Hu Jiao was also there, and said with a smile, "I bought a lot of snacks today, and I wanted to send them to you, so you don't need a little sister to deliver them."

Hu Jiao was embarrassed, "I can't have it."

Yang Xi couldn't refuse, "My mother likes the shoes you made very much. If you don't accept the snacks, how will my mother pick up the shoes you make in the future?"

Ye Shi patted Hu Jiao's hand, "Take it."

Hu Jiao, "Thank you sir, thank you auntie."

Yang Xi picked up Zilu and went back to the East Courtyard, thinking about Hu Jiao, Hu Jiao's own shoes were special, so she spent a lot of time thinking about shoes.

Yang Xi lamented that Hu Jiao was ingenious, and the shoes Hu Jiao gave to her mother-in-law were too comfortable for her to try.

It's a pity that Hu Jiao didn't dare to make shoes for her. She only made shoes for her mother-in-law. If she wants shoes, Hu Jiao must not pay for money.

Back in the East Courtyard, Yang Xi said his plan, "What do you think?"

Zhou Yu, "It's good."

Yang Xi motioned Zhou Yu to look at her son, she found the fabric and the things she used and returned to the main courtyard, Hu Jiao agreed.

Hu Jiao can't make shoes for men, children are fine.

The days passed quickly, and the new year passed in a blink of an eye. Many people came to Zhou's house to give New Year's gifts, not only the students, but also the people of Shanghe Village.

Yang Xi had long expected that at the end of the year, she bought two pigs for the New Year's gift. She wanted to eat meat all year round, and the meat for the New Year's gift was the most affordable.

The New Year is full of flavor, but unfortunately the Zhou family can't be famous. Knowing that the Zhou family keeps filial piety, the people will not come to the Zhou family if they ask for couplets.

So they all went to the students in the school to write couplets and blessings, and the students got another sum of money.

This makes more people want to send their children to school!
The shoes made by Hu Jiao were made [-] years ago, and Yang Xi returned the gift, which was enough material for the clothes, and some brown sugar to supplement the body.

29 On this day, little brother Zhou just came back from the barracks. This kid brought back a lot of New Year's goods.

Zhou Xiaodi pointed to the things on the carriage, "Sister-in-law, this is the New Year's gift from General Bai, and this is the gift list."

The New Year's goods he bought were on the donkey cart.

Yang Xi took the gift list. There were good tonics on it. The most notable one was the 20-year-old wild ginseng, and the others were snacks and fabrics.

Zhou Xiaodi bought all the food for the New Year, some precious marine fish, etc.

Zhou Xiaodi said excitedly: "I followed the general on the boat and went out to sea, but unfortunately I came back after not going very far."

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows, "Why did General Bai think about going to sea?"

Zhou Xiaodi said: "There are many pirates in Ruizhou, and the general has the mind to clean up the pirates. Unfortunately, since the general killed a pirate, the pirates are more cautious, and the general only wants to go out to sea to see."

Zhou Yu asked, "General Bai has saved a lot of food and grass, and it is approaching the end of the year, do you still strictly control food?"

Zhou Xiaodi, "It is still strictly controlled. I heard the lieutenant say that only in the [-]s of the year can eat a good meal, and the general's savings can't stand the consumption. Brother, it takes too much to raise troops."

Zhou Yu knew that it would be good if General Bai had success. As long as General Bai had provisions, Ruizhou would still be stable next year.

Jiazhou, Yang San and his party have arrived in Jiazhou and stopped in Jiazhou for Chinese New Year. Yang San actually wants to speed up and return to Ruizhou. He has been away from Ruizhou for too long. Zhou's family is home to him, and he wants to go home. .

It's a pity that the meaning of the new year is different. He wants to appease people, and this new year must be lived well.

Yang Sanfen went south a few times. He brought the most people. The escort company of Bai Dang's family had already left for the south, and this time it was only himself.

Old Man Ma sat by the fire with a wine gourd in his hand, "Do you want to have two glasses of wine?"

Yang San shook his head, "You should drink less alcohol."

Old Man Ma laughed, "I'm not too young, and I'll have fewer days to drink in the future. I'll have to drink a few more glasses while I can."

Yang San was speechless, "You have to live a few more years for the pony, don't you?"

The old man Ma snorted, "He will follow you in the future, so I have nothing to worry about."
