Chapter 9 Dafali City
Du Qian hurriedly stepped forward to explore Li Si's breath and turned to everyone, "It's okay, I just fainted in anger!" Then he asked someone to move Li Si to a ventilated place beside him, and then ordered the minion waiting beside him to get the wine. He took a big mouthful in his mouth on his back and squatted in front of Li Si. With a "puff" sound, the mixture of wine and saliva leaned straight towards Li Si's face. Not long after, Li Si woke up.
Seeing that Li Si was moving, Du Qian smiled proudly, stood up and said to the minions beside him: "My trick is really useful and has been tried and tested every time! Everyone is learning something!"
The minions who were looking around with their heads all said yes, and the sound of flattery was endless. Seeing this, Wang Lun shook his head and walked to the side, feeling a little laughed.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Qian was running out of the inner courtyard with a happy look on his face, and held a wooden box in his arms. Seeing that the lock had been broken, it was clanging with his pace, as if playing a cheerful and festive melody. Zheng Qian looked around in the crowd, and finally saw where Wang Lun was, and rushed over.
"Zhai, the master... I'll ask our copycat to release a big profit market today!" Zheng Qian had just stood still and had no time to breathe, so he reported it.
"Don't be anxious! Let's talk about it after a break!" Wang Lun reached out and patted Zheng Qian, who was breathing heavily, took the gourd on his waist and handed it to his confidant. Zheng Qian hurriedly put down the wooden box in his arms, took the gourd from Wang Lun's hand with a smile on his face, and drank it gushes. Taking advantage of this, Wang Lun waved to Du Qian and signaled him to come and listen to Zheng Qian's news together.
Du Qian had long seen the movement here. Seeing Zheng Qian drinking water and unable to hide his joy, he guessed something in his heart, and laughed and scolded as he walked: "Zheng Qian, you boy, if you don't have enough news, let me see how I deal with you!"
Zheng Qian felt a little "sudden" and suddenly realized that his behavior just now was a little inappropriate.
Alas! The huge fortune found in the backyard warehouse made him proud. He forgot that the village leader had already entrusted the important matters of the copycat money and grain to Du Qian today. He was still only the leader of the village leader as usual, and almost ignored Du Qian, the leader who was already in charge. If he was in a private situation, it would not be an exaggeration to report to the village leader. But now Du Qian is clearly on the side, but he ignores him and obviously doesn't take him seriously, his immediate boss.
Thinking of this, Zheng Qian reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his head and said intimately, "Shame". Fortunately, the leader of the village was careful and covered up for him. Otherwise, Du Qian would not take him seriously when he saw him once or twice, the conflict would inevitably be aroused. No matter whether he was right or not, no matter how he said, he would not have good results as a subordinate.
After thinking through this, Zheng Qian looked at Wang Lun with a slightly different look.
He is also a person with some experience. Logically speaking, the worse his relationship with Du Qian is, the more beneficial it is for Wang Lun. But Wang Lun did not do this. Instead, he dissolved some misunderstandings on himself, obviously hoping that his relationship with Du Qian will become harmonious.
This is really strange! Compared with the previous style, the actions of the village leader are so different! Could it be that the village leader becomes more open after he gets seriously ill?
Putting aside the doubts, Zheng Qian carefully savored Wang Lun's intentions. He suddenly realized that Wang Lun's current method of controlling the subordinates had a very clever meaning of using people without doubting others. Regardless of whether he was guarded against Du Qian in his heart, just by his attitude towards his subordinates at this time, it would be easy for people to have a mentality of dying for his confidant. Anyone who sees his words and actions can conclude that Wang Lun fully trusts Du Qian. Since this trust has been felt by himself, he does not believe that the person involved will be so slow that he will be unconscious.
Thinking of this, Zheng Qian suddenly realized that his life in the future would be very easy, at least he would not have to be stuck between the village leader and the second leader. Of course, he also understood that it would be one thing to respect his direct leader Du Qian in the future, and loyalty to the village leader at critical moments is the foundation of his position in the village.
"Old Zheng! How crazy is it at the critical moment? Tell me if you have any good things, so that you can feel at ease with your brother!" Seeing that Zheng Qian bowed his head and said nothing, Du Qian was anxious for a moment and only urged him.
Zheng Qian, who was in reverie, was urged by Du Qian to bring back to reality. He hurriedly wiped his mouth with his sleeve, bowed to Wang Lun and Du Qian respectively, and said loudly: "Report to the village leader, leader Du, the children found a large amount of food and grass in the backyard. The roughly estimated that the stock was less than 8,000 stones! In addition, there were also great gains when the house was confiscated. A total of 100 taels of gold, 2,700 taels of silver, 4,300 taels of copper coins, and the value of jewelry was not less than 1,000 tons! There were countless cattle and sheep cloths, and they are still counting now!" (The gold-silver ratio at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty was maintained at the level of one tael of gold or equal to ten taels of silver. The book was calculated by one digits of silver, and the ratio of silver-copper coins was about one digits of silver, and this book was calculated by one digits of silver, and the official of the Northern Song Dynasty determined that copper coins were 770 tons of copper coins, and this book was also calculated by this number, but copper coins were mostly of quality, depending on the circumstances)
Before he could finish Zheng Qian's words, Du Qian's expression became extremely excited, and his long face turned red. Later, he finally waited for Zheng Qian to finish speaking. He couldn't wait to take a quick photo of Zheng Qian, who was also very excited, and couldn't help but say to Wang Lun: "Brother! This 1000 treasure plus eight thousand stones of food is enough for my copycat for a year! This guy has accumulated so many furniture, which is more realistic than my younger brother, who has been robbed for three months in the mountains!"
In fact, it was not only Du Qian who was surprised. After hearing the news from Zheng Qian, even Wang Lun was quite surprised. According to his previous estimate, this family had two or three thousand stones of grain, but he didn't expect that he would have such a rich harvest this time!
Holding the doubt in his heart, Wang Lun asked: "Zheng Qian, how much land does this family have? Have you ever found a land deed?"
Zheng Qian nodded excitedly and replied, "Just just now, the villain took the land deed and flipped it out. This family has about 1,500 acres of land, more than 900 acres of land, and 700 acres of land! The boxes on the ground contain the land deeds of Baozheng's family and the documents of usury!" After saying that, he pointed to the wooden box he had just brought to signal to the two leaders.
"Well, it's similar to the 3,000 acres of land provided by Li Si!" Wang Lun thoughtfully. He remembered that the yield of the northern land in the Northern Song Dynasty was about one stone according to the land quality and disadvantages. The total amount of the upper, middle and lower fields of the total of 3,000 acres of upper, middle and lower fields in the Song Dynasty. According to the average output of one stone, it can produce about 3,000 stones of grain a year. Excluding the expenses of the large households, the taxes and other miscellaneous taxes in autumn and summer, the total remuneration to the tenants is about 70%, and about 30% can still be left. In other words, the Baozheng family can have nearly 1,000 stones of grain in the warehouse every year. If the old grain that has been piled up for at most for two years in the warehouse of the ordinary landlord family, the inventory is at most about 2,000 stones, but it is surprising that Wang Lun will be caught! This Baozheng store so much grain at home, isn't he afraid of losing it in vain if it is broken?
Wang Lun was just puzzled and suddenly heard Du Qian curse, "This thief, I don't expect it to be a smart product! I know that the price of grain is getting more and more expensive, so I am learning to buy and hoard grain! If the 8,000 stone grain is put into the spring of next year, I will sell it to Hebei Road nearby and I will not make a fortune!"
Grain prices rose? Du Qian's inadvertent words reminded Wang Lun, who was in deep thought. He suddenly remembered that the grain prices in the late Northern Song Dynasty were extremely strong and rising all the way. From the time when Huizong ascended the throne, it would have been two or three guans, and all the way to the four guans of money that fell from the Northern Song Dynasty. In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, it even reached six guans of money in some areas! Under this trend of continuous price increase, the wealthy households with a little economic mind usually hoarded some food at home to wait for appreciation! No wonder Song Jiang broke Zhujiazhuang that day and got 500,000 guans of food, which made it understandable.
No! No, right!!
Wang Lun suddenly realized that he seemed to have missed something, so he waved his hand to stop Du Qian and Zheng Qian, who were excited, regardless of the surprise gazes of the two, lowered his head and calculated silently in his heart: Nine thousand guanwen gold, silver and jewelry plus eight thousand stones of money is probably the same as the surplus of the Baozheng family for more than ten years. But Li Si said that his family has been a tenant in the Baozheng family for generations. In this way, these money and grains are far from all his savings!
So that's it! Thinking of this, Wang Lun stopped hesitating, and pulled Zheng Qian to him and told him: "There must be another secret room in Baozheng's family. Take the more than 30 families down to ask carefully! I don't believe that his family has been evil for generations, so I saved up 20,000 jin of money and grain! I will find it for me, and I will find it even if I dig three feet of the ground!"
"Two brothers...what are twenty thousand coins?"
At this time, Song Wan, who had arrived before the sound of the person, shouted from a distance, which made Wang Lun wonder if this person was born with a good wind. Hearing the movement, everyone looked at the sound. He saw that the back team of Song Wan had arrived at the village at this time, with hundreds of empty ox and horse carriages lined up in a long line, and they were straight from the courtyard to the outside of the village.
Before Song Wan walked up to him, Du Qian greeted happily: "Brothers of the Song family, please call the children to go to the backyard to load and unload food! I was afraid that you would not believe it. I have already collected more than 20,000 yuan in money and food at this time, and I will wait for you to pull it!"
