Power to the government and the public: Qian engaged in business in ancient times

Chapter 38
When Mrs. Wen saw her son and grandson sitting in the main room, with a serious expression that she had something to say, she drove her two daughters-in-law to the kitchen to cook, and ordered her two granddaughters to clean the pigsty.

He moved a stool and sat at the gate of the main room, listening openly.

Wen Qian was very satisfied with what Mrs. Wen did. He didn't want too many people to know that he had something to do with growing peppercorns.

"Uncle, Uncle, Agan came here today to let you plant a pepper tree. The fruit on this tree can be sold for money. You just need to take care of the pepper tree."

"I want to give the fruit of the pepper tree to McDull of Widow Luo's family to sell. You just need to collect the money."

"I hope that the more prickly ash trees can be planted, the better, so Uncle and Uncle can bring some members of the Wen clan to plant them together."

"The pepper tree is on the mountain. After you have eaten and rested, I will take you to the mountain to dig some pepper saplings."

"After today, I won't just ask about this matter. If there is something I don't understand, the big hall brother can come to Wen's house to find me."

Wen Qian finished speaking in one breath, picked up the tea on the table, took a big sip, and looked at the three people with shocked faces: "Uncle, Uncle, Brother Hall, do you understand?"

"I understand." Wen Liang nodded, and looked at Wen Qian with admiration on his face: "Agan, you are too good, you know all kinds of strange trees, and you can make a fortune with each one, it's amazing!"

Uncle Wenquan Fu nodded with a smile: "I understand, you let us plant trees, and they are still trees that can make a lot of money. Our family, Agan, has a heart!"

"Brother, you are wrong. It is not a tree, but a pepper tree." Erbo Wenquan corrected his elder brother, thought for a while, and expressed his concerns: "Agan, you are asking our family to bring a The people of the Wen clan are all getting richer, but...there are too many pepper trees planted, will the fruit be worthless?"

"Anyway, it's just planting trees, so what's the difference." Hot Spring Fu Heng glanced at the second child, then turned to look at Wen Qian: "Agan, since we are asked to plant pepper trees, we will definitely not have the concerns you said!"

Wenquancai ignored the elder brother's words, looked at Wen Qian with piercing eyes, and said with a smile: "Agan, don't blame the second uncle for being careless. After all, it is necessary to select some hardworking and hardworking people from the Wen clan. If the work is in vain , affecting your majesty and status in their hearts."

He is not a simple and honest big brother, so he naturally thinks a little too much.

"I understand." Wen Qian nodded, and said calmly: "Uncle, Second Uncle, except for Wenjia Village, no one knows the pepper tree, let alone what is the use of the fruit of the pepper tree, just feel free to plant it, and I will hand it over to you." Give warm food."

The old lady Wen who was sitting outside the main room heard this, her old face showed excitement, she slapped her thigh, stood up and walked in: "Okay, Don't worry, Grandma will help you supervise this matter, we will definitely Let this bastard, Ah Liang, do it beautifully!"

Wen Qian raised her head, and her black eyes flashed with clarity, she knew that the old lady Wen who preferred her would say this, "Okay, thank you grandma!"

Old lady Wen straightened her back quite proudly, looking at her handsome and indifferent scholar grandson, her heart was filled with relief.

A-gan is about to reach the crown soon, and as he grows up, his thoughts are becoming more and more unpredictable, but he can think about letting the Wen clan get rich together, his heart has not changed, and he has not forgotten his roots.

"Okay, don't you want McDull from Widow Luo's family to sell the fruit of the pepper tree? This is a low-end businessman who has changed from a farmer. Not only will he have to pay taxes to the court in the future, but his descendants will not be able to take the imperial examination for three generations. You have to Just make it clear with him."

"En." Wen Qian drank the tea in the cup, took the opportunity to wink at Wen Liang, and got up to leave.

Seeing Wen Liang at the side, he hurriedly followed, and said to the three people behind him with a smile: "Grandma, Uncle, Uncle, I have a relationship with McDull, so I will follow suit!"

"Okay." Mrs. Wen didn't expect Wen Liang to be so sensible, but she was very satisfied, and urged: "Go quickly, don't let outsiders bully your cousin Agan!"

She knew the great grandson's ability, and she was very prestigious among the young people in the village. No matter whether it was good or bad, fragrant or stinky, she would flatter and flatter him.

Such good popularity is also a kind of ability.

Wen Liang, who followed him, felt that something was wrong, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Agan, do you really think we can let McDull sell the prickly ash grown by our family? Is it okay?"

"Of course." Wen Qian is very fond of McDull, coupled with his perverted willpower, "McDull is young, only 17 years old this year, and he will say smartly that his family is often looked down upon in the village. I just need to give him He will firmly grasp the opportunity to climb up. It is possible to make all efforts for this, and you should know him better than me."

Wen Liang nodded, but expressed his concerns: "McDull is smart and can talk, but he is cruel and ruthless. He killed people when he was young... I went for a walk in the village last evening and listened to other people's comments. He encouraged Humen and Duobao to come together. Going to steal the freshly made stewed meat from Butcher Gou’s house, in order to escape, he pushed the two of them out to stall for time, but he ran away. What if he doesn’t listen to you and me after he comes out?”

This person, when he has nothing, is naturally willing to curry favor with those who are stronger than him.

If he also stands on a high place in the future, and is used to seeing others bowing his knees and flattering him, how many people can stand the temptation?

Maybe those unbearable people and things in the past have become stains, and I just want to erase and get rid of them.

It is precisely because of this that many people try their best to climb up on tiptoe.

Not to mention McDull, even he himself wants to be... radiant.

Wen Qian said calmly: "I understand your worries, but as long as you and I are always better than him, he will become an imperial merchant in the future, so I have to call you Brother Wen."

A sarcasm flashed in Wen Liang's eyes: "Me? I can't do business, and I don't know martial arts. I have a headache when I study and learn. How can I be better than him?"

Wen Qian smiled: "You forgot, the Buddhist "Six-Character Mantra" I gave you, you have to study it carefully, not only can you realize your dream of traveling the world with a sword, but you can also make a living in the rivers and lakes rise."

Wen Liang looked at Wen Qian in surprise: "Really?!"

"As long as you concentrate on comprehending, within two years, you will be able to fly over walls." Wen Qian's words were not meant to be joking, Buddhist practitioners pay attention to exquisite mind and comprehension.

Wenliang has taken both of these, as long as you enter the door, you will surely make a huge difference.

"Don't worry, A-gan, I'll read it carefully tonight." Wen Liang immediately gained fighting spirit, and also understood how important the Dharma book given to him by his cousin was.

I felt grateful for a while.

"McDull is my little brother, I'll tell him about the pepper."

Wen Qian was stunned for a moment, but she soon realized that Wen Liang wanted to subdue McDull himself.

"Okay, you go to McDull and talk about pepper, and I'll go to Uncle Gou's house to have a look."

Wen Qian went to Butcher Gou's house just to meet Humen and Duobao and learn the truth by the way.

Did McDull push the two to prevent the disaster, or did the two take the initiative to take the blame?
"Agan, did you really give the braised pork recipe to Uncle Gou's house?"

At the beginning, Wen Liang was very surprised when his cousin Ah Rou mentioned this. After all, the eldest aunt also wanted this stewed meat recipe, and wanted to go to Gou’s house to make trouble, but she stopped after being scolded by Grandma thought.

Wen Qian smiled strangely: "Yes, send Uncle Gou off, you tell the people in the old house, I can't suffer, and you will understand the benefits in the future."

Come to think of it, Butcher Gou should have cooked quite a lot of stewed meat, and tomorrow is the market day, so he should go to the restaurant in the town to test the water.

When Wen Liang heard it, he smiled treacherously: "Okay, you are smarter than me, I will take care of my aunt and other people."

Thinking of his mother who was also thoughtful, Wen Liang felt that the matter of pepper should be done immediately, so that the family would have no time to lament the stewed pork recipe.

In this way, Wen Liang went to Widow Luo's house to find McDull, and Wen Qian went to Butcher Gou's house.

As soon as he walked outside the courtyard wall, Wen Qian heard a man's rude scolding.

"Humen, how did you wash the pig's large intestine? Look, there is feces on it, take it to rewash! If you don't wash it clean, today's work will be considered useless. Half a month's deadline, plus one day!"

"Duobao, tell me about you, chopping a piece of pork is like a woman with no strength, no wonder no girl is willing to marry you! Just like you weak chicken, if you come, I'll make one, if you come two, I'll make a pair, move Hurry up, don't try to be lazy for me, hum!"

"If you two don't work hard and play tricks with me, don't even think about eating tonight. This is what will happen if you dare to come to my house to steal meat!"
