Villager of Daming

Chapter 44 Probe where to go when you are confused (third update)

"Yi Chang! I'm waiting for the class to make an axe. Do you still have an empty account book? Give us one."

The four officials studied for a while, and Li Zhixian asked for the account book with an embarrassed smile.

"Yes, they are all bound with good paper. It takes a lot of time to draw this grid."

The Li Chang looked as if that was the case, and turned around to fetch an empty account book.

Li Zhixian and the others realized this again. There are high-level people in the village, so they still need to help look after the accounts?
Can you keep the account like this?Learn it, learn it, and send it back to the higher ups.

The paper for the account book is really good paper, it is not easy to rot, and I bought it in Xuancheng.

One advantage of living here is that pens, inks, papers and inkstones are cheap and of good quality.

Hui brush, Hui ink, She inkstone, Xuan paper.

Local people buy it, one less long-distance transportation fee and merchant profit fee.

If you speak the local language, there are many workshops where someone is willing to give a little extra.

The quality of this paper looks similar to that of Chengxintang paper, and the village is willing to spend money.

The four people in Lizhi County studied a new accounting method, and the head of the village sat on the silver box and read a book.

He was reading the revised Compendium of Materia Medica that Hanhan occasionally wrote.

Whenever I have time, I write a little, and I go to Xuancheng to buy medical books that have been published before, so that the villagers can use them for medical treatment.

Zhou Zong continued to stroll around the village, seeing that everyone suspected that he was an expert, including the old man who was sitting there rubbing the rope.

Turning around, he came to an old man sitting in the shade of a tree weaving sacks: "Old man, are you busy?"

"Not busy, you are the prince's man? Is the fish delicious?" The old man kept moving his hands.

"It's delicious! It's the first time I've seen a whole fish feast. I used to feel fishy when eating fish. Why isn't it fishy in our village?"

Zhou Zong knelt down to help unwind the twine, he saw that the old man had a ruddy complexion and a peaceful expression.

"I still ate fish at night, and the boat went out again. When you leave tomorrow, I will bring it to you.

Fish is fishy, ​​and fishy is evil. When cooking fish, the heart is right and the fish is fresh. I have a saying: Governing a big country is like cooking small fish.

Fish is the main ingredient, and it should be fishy when eaten, supplemented by seasoning.

Just like the way of a country's economy, state affairs are the mainstay, and scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce are supplementary, and both are indispensable.

Green hemp is easy to break, retting hemp is square and tough, silk threads form strands, and condense into shields. "

The old man wah wah wah said, he listened to what his grandson said, he taught me, some forgot by himself, and some wrote it down.

Hanhan is really good at teaching children, it's like telling a story.

Zhou Zong: "..."

His eyes grew bigger and brighter, his whole body trembled, and his legs were numb.

I found it, I found it, the hermit expert is making sacks, and he pointed me to it.

"Son, why are you shivering? Are your legs numb? After squatting for a long time, there is a wooden block next to you. Sit down!"

The old man looked at the other person and shook his head.

"Oh!" Zhou Zong also found this problem, he sat down first, and slowly moved towards the wooden pier with his hands supported.

"Old man, how long have you been in Xiaqiu Village?"

After finally moving to the place, Zhou Zong supported himself and climbed up again, rubbing his legs.

"It's been 62 years!" The old man responded with a smile.

"Ah? So long?" Zhou Zongyi thought wrong!Since the expert has a powerful way to help the village make money, why didn't he do it before?

"I can't help it. I was born in the village. Move over here and help me straighten the thread."

The old man just got used to someone giving him a ride, but he ran away.

Zhou Zong endured the numbness of his legs and rubbed the pier together, and asked while he was making twine, "Old man, what do you think of our Daming?"

"See with your eyes! How else can you see? When I was a child, I dreamed of eating meat every day. I didn't expect it to come true when I was old.

If it weren't for...uh...you have to live for so long, how dare you think about it, right?

Cherish the good days, just like... If you change one, if this one is broken, the sand will leak from here first. "

The old man said, pointing to the twine next to it, this one is not working, find a new one.

Listening to the old man's words, Zhou Zong realized that this was a mistake.

"Aren't you?" He was depressed.

"Where am I wrong?" the old man asked.

"No, you are." Zhou Zong explained.

"What is it?" the old man asked again.

"It's me, it's me, I'm urgent to pee, I'm looking for a latrine! Old man, you are busy."

Zhou Zong got up and ran away with a limp, his legs were still numb.

The old man watched from behind, and muttered with a snort: "Ask us, Hanhan is here? You don't even know that Hanhan accompanied you to eat for such a long time, hehehehe!"

Zhou Zong didn't know what he missed, he thought as he walked, there is an expert, this old man definitely learned to speak after listening to the expert's words.

Thinking about it again, isn't this nonsense!Who doesn't know that there is an expert hermit in the village?Which one is the key?

He thought, it's really time to go to the hut. There are four huts in the village, and each hut is divided into men and women, and they all squat in the pit.

As soon as he came in, he saw his subordinates standing there clattering.

"Boss, I saw a few resemblances, but none of them turned out to be true. Are all the people in Xiaqiu Village so knowledgeable? An uncle actually taught me the Analects of Confucius. It's a joy to have friends coming from afar."

The people under him greeted and talked about what they had seen and heard.

He sniffed: "It's so hot, the hut smells bad, what's the matter with the ground?"

The toilets in the village are repaired with cement, including a squatting position slanting downwards, and there is a large wooden barrel next to it, filled with water.

A piece of bamboo protrudes from the wall, with holes on it for incense sticks.

There is also a box inserted on the wall at the back of each squatting position, which contains raw paper.

"The villagers told me to wash it with water and sprinkle lime in the pit after it was done, so that not even a maggot could be seen.

The raw edge paper is used to wipe the buttocks, and the bamboo strips are not used, which is said to be unclean. "

The people under him knew the situation and asked specifically.

Zhou Zong untied his belt: "Is that so? You are rich! I also met an old man who told me that I said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. Where is the master hiding?"

"Boss, do you think they will tie up the expert and hide him in some dark cellar, and force him to ask him how to make money?"

The subordinate thought of a possibility, and his expression became serious.

"You haven't finished peeing yet? You've been peeing since I came in. Do you think experts are idiots? You also teach them knowledge?"

Zhou Zong couldn't believe it, is it not easy for an expert to fool these villagers?If he was caught, the news would have been spread through the hands of the villagers.

"The crucian carp soup was so delicious when I was eating, I drank four bowls."

The subordinates finally finished, flicked, fastened their belts and so on.

Take another look: "Boss, are you angry? Your urine is yellow, remember to drink more soup at night!"

"Drink more soup at night? I wet the bed?" Zhou Zong glared at him.

At this time, a person came in at the door, heard the conversation, and answered: "I'm on fire! There is herbal tea in the village, drink it as you like.

I can't get used to the taste. There is rock sugar and mung bean water, which is also used to extinguish fire and prevent heatstroke. It is made with well water.

Otherwise, go directly to... look for the pharmacy in the village to see if there is any medicine that is useful. "

"Thank you, big brother." Zhou Zong's subordinates thanked.

Zhou Zong also finished, and the two went out. His subordinates took him to a place with a small ditch outside: "Boss, do you see that big bucket? Wash your hands, scoop out water to wash."

"There are still so many things in the last hut." Reluctantly, Zhou Zong picked up the ladle of kiln water and lowered his voice: "Just now that person seemed to want to talk about who to look for, but changed his mind again."

"Yeah! I heard it too." The subordinates nodded.

"Let's go! Go drink herbal tea first, rock sugar mung bean water, rock sugar is really made by others!"

After Zhou Zong washed his hands, he felt even more angry.

The whole village seemed to be hiding something, and no one said anything.

　I don’t have it today, thank you brothers and sisters for your rewards, monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and collections!The farmer bowed!Hey hey hey!
