Chapter 39 Dare to ask how much money is worth (3)

In the evening, Chen Yue went to Chen Fu to ask for a remote courtyard where miscellaneous items were piled up. Chen Fu asked a few questions. Chen Yue only said that it was for Chen En to use after he recovered from his illness. In fact, this was a bit unruly. Chen En had not signed any contract with the Chen family so far. Even if he signed it, he could not set up a unique courtyard for him at home before he could do his job. Many people who worked in the Chen family for 10 or 20 years were the only ones who went out to find a house by themselves. If they had to live here at the end of the year, they would arrange a wing room to do it. However, the place Chen Yue wanted was not strictly considered the inner courtyard of the Chen family. The Chen family occupied a lot of land and there were many vacant places. Chen Yue opened his mouth, so he stopped asking questions, took out the key, and specially ordered two small workers to clean up his things.

After Chen Yue thanked him, he led two small workers to pack up his things. He specially picked this yard in the afternoon, not far from his residence, and only a small door was opened outside the Chen family's big wall. It was probably sold by the old small household when he moved out.

The yard is not big, and three low rooms are not long, so it takes much time to clean up. Chen Yue asked someone to carry the useless things away. Firewood and other things were used, but most of them were damp and difficult to use. So he simply moved the charcoal home and asked two people to find some wooden buckets and water tanks. Finally, he picked up the missing and found all the things needed. Xianer brought the hired idle man back with all the things he should buy.

Chen Yue and two small workers picked up things and sent a few people away. After working for a while, he finally had time to breathe.

The three of them sat on a small stool, drinking the water from Xian'er in their hands, and chatted casually for a few days.

Two small workers were named Luo Liang and Gong Fu. They both worked in the Chen family for five or six years, which was trustworthy. Chen Yue saw that they were diligent and thought about whether they wanted to come and take care of this small winery for him. After all, he still had to do his homework after these Lantern Festivals.

Moreover, at present, there is no need for professional winemaking talents. As long as he can do the job he arranged, it will be fine. Anyway, he will not sell wine at that time. Not to mention that the southerners in the Song Dynasty were used to the taste of low-alcohol fruit wine, he would not be able to compete for the market to brew high-alcohol wine. Just say that the price of this wine market is good enough to sell a few dozen cents. Even if some famous wines are not aged wine for many years, they will always be worth the money. It is obviously unrealistic to accumulate wealth quickly by selling wine.

"Young Master, Luo Ge'er and Gong Ge'er are here. What you promised to tell me before, so let's just tell me the story now, let's listen to the class together?"

Xian'er's voice interrupted Chen Yue's thoughts. He turned his head and smiled: "Luo Ge'er and Gong Ge'er may not be willing to listen. It's getting late. Let's go back first. If you have something to do tomorrow, come here again."

In fact, Luo Liang and Gong Fu really wanted to finish work early, but they didn’t see that it was already dark and it was overwhelming? Besides, they didn’t think they could understand the stories told by literati students. It was a waste of time here.

However, after hearing Chen Yue say this, I don’t know if he is telling the truth or lies. Although the recent reputation of the fifth young master has been rising sharply. Whether he has always been in contact with him, he says that the fifth brother is like a different person. They just felt like spring breeze. The fifth young master did everything with them. It’s not like some people who are just a small manager and only point fingers next to him, and they are too lazy to move their fingers.

But they were all people who worked in the Chen family for many years. They knew the young master's former reputation clearly. Who dared to risk offending him at this time?

"It is a blessing for us to listen to the young master's teachings. How could it be that we would not want to?" Luo Liang had a good relationship with Mr. Hu in the accountant on weekdays. At this time, he thought Chen Yue wanted to tell them a story about the wise man, so he deliberately learned to make up the nerd.

Gong Fu also quickly followed and said, "How can there be a reason for not wanting to do it, how can there be a reason for not wanting to do it..."

Chen Yue was funny and stopped persuading the two of them to go back. He glanced at Xian'er beside him. He originally wanted to tell this little girl about love stories such as the West Chamber, the Legend of the White Snake or the Dream of the Red Chamber to deceive her into tears. Now there are two big men here, so it is not suitable to say these things. He frowned and thought about it and said:

"Tell you a story about a general. In the past, there was someone like you." Chen Yue pointed to Luo Liang and Gong Fu and the others, and then said: "He was also a poor family and had also been a farmer for wealthy families, but later he became a marshal who commanded 100,000 soldiers."

Luo Liang and Gong Fu heard that those who were born like themselves could become the Grand Marshal, and their eyes lit up. Chen Yue continued: "His name is Yue Fei, and his courtesy name is Pengju..."

...

Yue Fei was a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty. I am afraid that even his grandfather had not been born at this time. However, the general customs and environment were not too far from that at this time, so it was naturally easy to gain the recognition of the three people. Of course, Chen Yue had changed appropriately in the specific dynasty background. This was originally a romantic story, and there was no need to pay too much attention to the details.

No matter which dynasty, people who already had a sense of identity with the concept of "China" (in ancient times, China mostly referred to the Central Plains dynasty) would regard fighting against foreigners as an exciting pleasure. The three of them gradually became fascinated by it, and they didn't even feel it after a long time. Chen Yue wanted to stop and persuade them to go back and wait the next day before continuing, but he couldn't stand Xian'er's soft and hard work, so he had to speed up the progress and jumped.

When Yue Fei defeated Jin Wushu and vowed to counterattack Jin Realm and recover the rivers and mountains, Luo Liang and Gong Fu couldn't help but applaud, and even Xian'er patted her hands and looked excited.

Unfortunately, Chen Yue changed his subject soon and said that Qin Hui slandered the emperor to recall Yue Fei with ten gold medals and executed Yue Fei on false charges.

Luo Liang didn't consider that the person in front of him was his young master. He was so angry that he slapped his thigh and stood up, and said hatefully: "How can there be such a pickled villain? It's really... it's really..." After thinking for a long time, he couldn't find a word that could vent his anger.

Gong Fu angrily said, "It's time to chop it up and feed the dog!"

"Yes! It's time to chop Qin Hui and feed it to the dog!"

Xian'er's eyes were slightly red, and she pulled Chen Yue's sleeve and said, "Young Master, don't let General Yue die..."

Chen Yue spread his hands: "This story is like this. How do you want me to say it?"

He was very satisfied with this effect. At this time, people were poor in entertainment and received little information. This kind of story is easy to resonate with people. Don’t you see that there are shouting, scolding or cheering everywhere in the teahouse where you are talking about?

It’s better if this story can be spread, he doesn’t know whether his arrival will immediately change the direction of history, but if such stories spread, at least the name Qin Hui is unlikely to appear in future history books again.

After the story was finished, the three of them calmed down and were still unfulfilled, and they asked Chen Yue to tell another story on the second day. When they saw him nodding, they all dispersed. Before leaving, Chen Yue asked Luo Liang and the other two to pick up a few kilograms of charcoal to go back. It is now the twelfth lunar month. In his philosophy, doing things is to have rewards and punishments to motivate employees.

Of course, these charcoals were obtained by the Chen family at public expense, and now he still has to control the cost.

The two of them thanked each other very much. Chen Yue asked them to come and help the next day, and they agreed.

==============================================================================================================================================

Unexpectedly, when the two of them came the next day, they both gave themselves a word. Luo Liang's name is Penggao and Gong Fu's name is Pengyuan. Ordinary people only had names but no characters, but their reasons were very loud: General Yue was also born in poverty and could be Pengju, and we should also learn from General Yue!

Chen Yue shrugged helplessly, so he let them go. But today he planned to tell a few stories about the Three Kingdoms. I wonder if they will change it to Yun Chang and Yide after they go back?
