Refa is King

Chapter 22 Admission Palace

For the entrance palace, Bao Bushu still has some resistance, mainly because Bao Bushu has his own secrets, but on the other hand, Bao Bushu thinks that entering the school palace, maybe he can learn more things.

Fatty Yang played like crazy for a day, and it is estimated that the 200 taels of silver are gone. There is no way to ask if there is no book, and Fatty Yang gets drunk every time.

After Fatty Yang left, Bao Bushu decided to report the situation to the Yang Family Bank.

The Yang family bank is a two-story building, which is rare even in Fucheng. It doesn’t mean that you can build two floors if you want to build two floors in Fucheng. Due to the reason of cold weapons, high-rise buildings are generally not Those that are allowed to be built, especially those facing the street, have a lot of officials passing by.

Only those with strength and background can build a second-story building, so in this society, you only need to look at the building to know who you can’t provoke, as well as the pillars at the door, the size of the door, the stone lions at the door, etc. There are certain rules.

"Xiao Bao." The clerk in the bank saw Bao Bushu coming in, and hurriedly ushered it into the back hall, and the shopkeeper came forward in person.

"Treasurer Yang." This shopkeeper Yang is a relative of Mr. Yang.

Bao Bushu reported the young master of the Yang family's situation during this period of time, mainly because he spent 200 taels of silver, and because he was drunk.

"Please Xiao Bao next time, please follow the young master to see where you are going to drink. It would be even better if you can find out who you went with. I will send someone back to report to the master immediately." Shopkeeper Yang said, although Relatives, but when working in the Yang Mansion, the address still cannot be changed.

"Alright then." Bao Bushu nodded, there was no room for bargaining.

Bao Bushu finished speaking and was about to leave. Shopkeeper Yang said, "Xiao Bao, I heard that you are learning to read. Do you need a book?"

"The shopkeeper sells books here?" Bao Bushu was puzzled.

Shopkeeper Yang said in a low voice: "There are always some prodigal sons who want to exchange books for money, but this is done in private. If the Holy Court finds out, it will be very troublesome, but some of them are already very shabby, and we just collect them as rags. Yes, if you want, I can give it to you at the purchase price."

"Thank you, shopkeeper Yang, I can see if I can." Bao Bushu was moved. Books are allowed to be sold, but pawns are not allowed.

In fact, from Bao Bushu's point of view, this is just one thing at all, and it can be seen that the people in this temple are thinking. The temple is a place for worshiping saints, and the place is full of incense all year round.

On the second floor, the shopkeeper opened the door of the storeroom. Books occupied a small part of the place, and the rest had furniture, clothes, and various utensils, with notes pasted on them.

"That's it, one set of ten coins, you can choose it yourself." Shopkeeper Yang brought a waiter, and shopkeeper Yang gave an order, and then asked the waiter to look after it.

Bao Bushu looked at the pile of books directly stacked in several large boxes, there were hundreds or even thousands of books.

The guy said, "Do you need my help?"

"Thanks, no need." Bao Bushu replied casually.

Then the behavior of Bao Bushu is very weird in the eyes of the buddy. Whoever chooses a book doesn’t just flip through it. This guy is good.

"Pretentious." The buddy defined Bao Bushu in his mind, and then worked beside him.

The books here also got a lot of dust, and they obviously didn't care much about it. Of course, in the eyes of businessmen, books worth ten cents are far less important than furniture worth hundreds of cents.

To Bao Bushu's disappointment, there were no books he wanted here, so Bao Bushu chose two books, one was a book about herbal medicine, which was a manuscript, and the other was someone's reading notes, which were densely packed with small letters. .

He gave the money directly to the buddy, and then returned to the station in a circle. The badge on Bao Bushu's belt made the gangsters in the city dare not act rashly.

Boom boom boom!
Constantly bumping against the stone, Bao Bushu found that his muscles were exploding. Of course, this was accompanied by an increase in food intake. Half a year ago, Bao Bushu was estimated to be seventy catties and five feet tall, but now Bao Bushu is at least six feet tall, which is also It's only two meters long, and my weight has soared during this period, estimated to be about 150 catties. Of course, I still don't look fat on the outside, but the muscles all over my body can be seen as long as I take off my clothes.

Two catties of meat a day, five catties of rice, and three meals a day. Thanks to the pig heads here, pork is very cheap, but even so, Bao Bushu's deposits are also declining rapidly.

"Looks like I need to find a way to make money." Bao Bushu looked at his purse. Two catties of meat cost about ten yuan. This is pork. Beef and mutton cost about ten yuan per catty. Beef is more expensive, but sometimes it happens When hunters sell pheasants, hares, etc., it is a bargain. Wild turtledoves cost one penny each, pheasants two pennies, and hares three pennies.

Few people buy at this price. People in this world have very complicated concepts. They think it’s not worthwhile to buy them with bones, so pork ribs are cheap, and pork legs are also cheap. Pork legs are troublesome to cook, and most people think it’s a waste to stew pork legs. firewood.

Pure fat is the most expensive, followed by fat, which is too cheap to cover.

But Bao Shu still has to wait for news from the young master of the Yang family, so there is no way to find a job for the time being.

"Would you like to make talisman paper?" Bao Bushu knew how to make talisman paper.

The production of talisman paper is actually not very complicated in the eyes of Bao Bushu. The main material needed for the production of talisman paper is mulberry, which is relatively expensive, because mulberry is one of the economic pillars of every family, so the price of mulberry is two Ten catties is one penny.

Some people said earlier that you said that the net income of a family is only a hundred or two hundred yuan a year, and the mulberry bark is so valuable?

What I mentioned earlier is net income, which means excluding all expenses, not pure income.

Mulberry, yellow grass, white ash, refined salt, Baobushu listed the materials needed to make talisman paper, but found that I was wrong, the material is one of them, and tools are needed. The mulberry needs to be soaked in lime, and then knead out the fibers, and then Rinse with refined salt, then add yellow grass pulp, and finally shape.

There are a lot of tools needed for these, so I calculated whether there are books or not, yes, the tools are ready, it is like opening a small workshop by myself.

"Would you like to buy talisman paper and talisman?" Bao Bushu then thought of another way.

But before Bao Bushu was implemented, someone came to the door. The person who came was a young man with a thin build and a little shorter than Bao Bushu.

"Do you just want to pack the books?" The man knocked on the door and asked.

"Yes, may I ask you..." Bao Bushu replied with a nod.

"Your young master asked me to come, let's go, follow me to the academy." The young man looked at Bao Bushu. He looked ordinary, but he was taller, and he didn't look too strong.

"Excuse me, do I need to bring anything?" Bao Bushu asked.

"No, you have to come back to live at night." The man waved his hand and said.

Bao Bushu locked the door and followed the young man. The young man walked in front of Bao Bushu and said, "We are responsible for the cleaning of an area inside the school, that is, sweeping the floor. The school gives fifty cents a month, and At the end of every month, there will be a lecture given by the masters of the school, you can go and listen, and there is no charge."

"Then what are you talking about?" Bao Bushu asked suspiciously.

"Not necessarily, but we usually go to places where we teach the holy science. As for the other things, we can't understand them. By the way, my name is Li Yong, and I am the book boy of the young master of the Li family." Li Yong introduced.

Entering the academy, a guard checked Bao Bushu and Li Yong's badges. After checking, Li Yong said, "I will give you a badge after entering. You will be responsible for the area you clean from now on. You must keep the road clean at all times. You can skip it when it’s raining, windy, snowing, etc. You have to do it at other times, you can do it at dawn in the morning, you don’t have to do it when it’s hot, and you can leave after listening to the bell at night.”

Li Yong said as he walked, Bao Bushu was led by Li Yong, received the waist badge, and then received the tools, but Bao Bushu just saw the steward.

"From here to the fork in the road above, it's your position. Remember, when you see the disciples of the academy passing by, you will step aside, you know?" Li Yong walked with Bao Bushu for almost half an hour. , Bao Bushu looked at it, and it was still in the area under the school. Bao Bushu looked at the area he was in charge of. There were a lot of trees, and this area was already close to the mountain range. Qingyun Academy was built on the back of a huge mountain range. After getting up, the terrain on the other side of the school palace gradually lowered, and finally broke at the river, and near this side is a mountain range, and you can see dense forests and towering trees in the distance.

"There is a gazebo over there, you can rest there, and if you eat in the academy, you need to buy it yourself. I suggest you bring your own dry food." Li Yong said.

"Yes." Bao Bushu found that Li Yong was talking to himself all the time, without asking himself any questions, as if he looked down on him.

Li Yong left. Bao Bushu looked at the two-meter-wide stone steps. There were leaves falling on them. The surrounding trees were of different sizes. Take it with you when you go back.

"Hehe, what a thoughtful thought." Bao Bushu looked at the area he was in charge of. There were not only stairs up and down, but also countless trees. It was obvious that the labor intensity here was high.

Bao Bushu looked at the trees, some leaves were about to fall, Bao Bushu had an idea in his heart, but let’s forget about today, time is running out, Bao Bushu climbed up to the fork in the road, there is a distance of thousands of meters, On the side of the fork road is a flat stone road.

From top to bottom, it took more than two hours to pack a tight sack of leaves, which weighed dozens of catties. Don’t underestimate the leaves, the leaves are very light. If you use force, the leaves will fly everywhere. If a gust of wind comes, Well, it's a waste of effort.
