Chen Family Genealogy

In the small earthen house, Fang Jingnan quietly looked at the Chen family genealogy that was fooled by Chen Youfu. Chen Yinhua next to her burned water with a stove and prepared to make tea.

In the past, Fang Jingnan would stay in the dock for dinner after riding a horse in Anmindun, but today he was not in the mood. Since he figured out the age, he knew that this was an era when personal life was like grass, and it was even more of a time when people could eat people.

However, the literal meaning is always shallow, and it is far less than personal experience.

After contacting so many people, he had long lost the intention of underestimating the ancients. Relatively speaking, they only had little knowledge, and it was not bad in terms of cleverness and cleverness.

Fang Jingnan is not the kind of person who tries everything to make money and wants to succeed even if he wants to sell his friends for glory and asks his wife to offer his children. He can be assured as a small wealth.

He can't invent and create, but writing and arithmetic are not bad. Using hundreds of years of experience, it is definitely a good idea to eat and drink and warm up.

But now he figured it out that he couldn't just make a little money these days.

Fang Jingnan doesn't want to be pointed at by someone in the future, but he has no power to fight back. That's not a waste. Moreover, if Leng Li's thing falls on him, who will save him?

Therefore, Fang Jingnan decided that he needed to take the initiative and that his life must be controlled by strength rather than by luck.

Putting down the book, Fang Jingnan said calmly and vigorously: "Yinhua, go, it's time to have supper."

###

Chen Family House.

Huff, whisper!

The last mixed grain steamed bun was swallowed with a bowl of Hu spicy soup. The spicy pepper made the stomach hot, driving away the cold wind and spring cold in the late Ming Dynasty.

This is the regular food of the serious Shanxi rich man's family in the late Ming Dynasty. The corn is ground into powder and the bran fed with pigs is mixed into steamed buns. The taste is rough and you can barely eat it with soup.

Just this is all eaten by the master. Chen Youfu's family still has seven or eight slaves. He is sitting around the small table in the outer yard, with two large steamed buns and a few pickles, and his mouth is smacking, making it delicious.

This is what Chen Lao Qianzhu’s family, and those ordinary villagers and tenants are now basically eating some wild vegetables or looking for some Guanyin soil to be hungry.

Fang Jingnan is not picky about the food. Who told me that I didn’t have to prepare supper before?

The rich man Chen was as enthusiastic as ever. Seeing that he finished eating, he quickly handed him a cup of brewed tea and said with a smile: "I am not very entertaining tonight, but don't worry, the knife has been sharpened, and kill the pig immediately!"

After rinsing his mouth with tea, Fang Jingnan waved his hand disregardly and said, "You are so kind, you don't have to guard against changing your tastes occasionally." After a pause, he said, "To put it, I encountered something today, which is more interesting."

Chen Youfu took over the conversation and said, "Is it the unlucky thing for Meng Tiezhu, the small flag of Anmindun?"

Fang Jingnan didn't expect that he knew, and said strangely: "Who told you, Yinhua?"

"Yes, this stupid child Yinhua asked me for food and money when he came back. After asking, he understood." Chen Youfu smiled gently and said, "I want me to tell me, this Wang Zhenfu is not a good product, and there is no such much food and salary for half a year."

Fang Jingnan said: "There must be regulations on how much food and salary to recruit soldiers. How can he report it indiscriminately?"

Chen Youfu said: "Of course there are regulations, and it is indeed as he said, but the food and salary are paid from the court and deducted from the hands of soldiers. If they can get 30% of the soldiers, they will be treated as soldiers."

Fang Jingnan was stunned after hearing this, her face looked extremely ugly, and she felt uncomfortable as if she had eaten shit. She was just a small border town and a sixth-rank scrupulous person. The person who insulted me was not counted, but also insulted my IQ! If I want to be an ancient man in the future, I will...

"Brother Jing Nan, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Fang Jing Nan's face was not good, Chen Youfu patted his hands and said.

call……

"Nothing," Fang Jingnan sighed and said, "I just think this Wang Jingfu is too scheming and cunning."

Chen Youfu suddenly was stunned for a moment and whispered: "The military officer's little thinking is very cunning. Those Jinshi masters who are studying are called eating people and not vomiting bones."

Fang Jingnan couldn't continue talking anymore. He was fooled by a military officer who was not even favored by a rich man. Then wouldn't his IQ be zero?

Fang Jingnan mentioned this topic with an idea, and then said, "I heard that you led the villagers to escape the Donglu in Yungang Fort last year. Do you know the military leader inside?"

"I know each other," said Chen Youfu: "I have had several drinks with Lord Deng Lin Deng, the Yungangbao ethics (1,000-class grade).

Fang Jingnan said: "Then see, can you help me beg for mercy?"

Seeing Fang Jingnan mention this, Chen Youfu smiled slightly, straightened his waist, and suddenly sat down seriously, and said calmly: "Don't help!"

Well……

Fang Jingnan was so arrogant that he thought that he would agree happily as soon as he spoke, but the rejection was too direct.

After slowing down, Fang Jingnan tentatively said: "If it is inconvenient to plead, can you support some food and salary? I will lend you what I want to borrow, and I will definitely pay you back."

Chen Youfu still shook his head, "Don't borrow!"

Uh... abnormal, this cold attitude is too abnormal.

Fortunately, Fang Jingnan was not completely prepared. He showed a mysterious smile that looked like a charlatan and said, "Well, I have a unique method that can turn decay into magic and exchange it with you. What do you think?"

Before he knew it, Fang Jingnan used the honorific saying "you". Sure enough, Chen Youfu's brows moved and asked, "What method?"

"It can't be said so carefully now," Fang Jingnan said: "Simply put, I know a coal stove method that can keep the fire going all day long and save coal materials."

There is a lot of coal in Shanxi. People usually use coal as fuel in daily life. Including military households, they also use coal to smelify iron, which consumes a lot of money.

The stoves they use are similar to those that burn wood. Before each use, they need to set fire to light coal, which is a waste of time and is exhausted bit by bit, which is a waste of fuel.

Hearing that it was made of coal stoves, Chen Youfu was a little disappointed and said lightly: "The people lack everything, but they have more time and are not afraid of trouble, so it doesn't matter if the fire continues."

He then said: "A common household uses about half a leu of thirty kilograms of coal per month, and only six kilograms per year. Coal is a cheap item, and each leuco is 1 qian and 4 cents of silver, and six leuco is 8 qian and 4 cents of rice. To put it more, the coal stove can save half of coal materials, and each household can save only four cents of silver a year."

Chen Youfu's face showed that look that he didn't look at him much, but Fang Jingnan was extremely happy. He said, "This matter cannot be understood so much. A hundred rivers can form a sea, and fine sand can cut off the flow. One household is four cents of silver, one hundred households is forty taels, and ten thousand households are forty taels. Not to mention other places, just in Shanxi, there are always one million households, that is 400,000 taels!"

"This is only one year, ten years, twenty years..." Fang Jingnan became more and more excited as she spoke.

Chen Youfu couldn't help looking at him with an idiot for the first time and said, "Can you do the business in the world be done by you alone?"

"Your coal stove needs to be made by craftsmen. If you want to sell so many households, you have to hire a lot of craftsmen. How can this craft not be spread?" Chen Youfu nodded and said, "Okay, even if you have a way to spread it, others can't steal it, but you can't steal it, so can't rob it? You are a first-class citizen, I am the head of the village, can you protect your residence?"

Fang Jingnan was speechless. Not only did he not have patent protection these days, but he still had a fucking bully.

this……

"Of course," Chen Youfu agreed as if he had a blow and gave him a candy, "If you really have such a good skill, you can sell it yourself first. If you can't keep it, you can find a big businessman to sell it. It's easy to make a few hundred taels of silver."

A few hundred taels of silver was also a lot, Fang Jingnan said happily: "Did you agree?"

Chen Youfu shook his head and said, "Is there anything else if I'm not interested?"

Fang Jingnan was silent and stared at Chen Youfu seriously. He even used the legendary micro-expression observation method, but all feedback told him that Chen Youfu was really not interested in this, rather than trying to control himself for better benefits.

A rich man looked down on a deal of hundreds of taels of silver.

Sighing softly, Fang Jingnan decided to come up with the ultimate trick he could think of. He drank a sip of tea and slowly said: "Food is the most important thing for the people, and water is the first. Since the Tianqi Dynasty, the weather has changed abnormally and has been drought in recent years. I see that many wells in the village have dried up, and I know a way to fill the dry wells."

Chen Youfu was finally moved and said in surprise: "Is there such a magical method?"

"Of course!" Fang Jingnan finally felt comfortable with an IQ crushing the ancients, although there was only a rich man from the countryside.

"Can you know something clearly?"

Fang Jingnan knew that he would not believe it without explaining it. He took a good sense in his heart and said, "The wells we dug are too shallow, and the weather will be dry and there will be no water. But if you dig deeper in it, there will be plenty of water there, which can almost be said to be inexhaustible."

"How deep is the fight?"

"Well, it's all the same, it's definitely enough to have more than ten or twenty feet deep."

"How to get water at such a deep level?"

"Make a round hollow iron column and insert it into the water. I have my own way to get water. If you have details, then...uh...can't..."

I saw Chen Youfu getting more and more disappointed when he heard it. Fang Jingnan felt bad again. Sure enough, Chen Youfu sighed: "A well can water up to twenty acres, and produce one stone of grain per mu. If you draw one dou, two stones will be made in twenty acres, and you can get two taels of silver."

After hearing this, Fang Jingnan wanted to say that that was not bad. Two thousand acres of land would cost 200 taels of silver. But seeing Chen Youfu's disappointed face, Fang Jingnan chose to shut up obediently.

Chen Youfu continued: "Not to mention how much labor it takes to dig a well more than ten feet deep, just such a long hollow iron pillar, the iron material costs twenty taels."

...

...

Fang Jingnan was completely speechless. These two methods have been a small invention he had tried to make in the past two months. It was almost his limit.

The consumption of this era is very simple, nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Following this thought, it was like this that it could be made and useful. Fang Jingnan was already exhausted, and he even began to anger his uselessness.

"Can you ask?" After a long time of rest, Fang Jingnan thought that he could not give up. He couldn't handle the small matter of making a few taels of silver. What else should he do in the future? He turned his thinking from the exchange of interests and back to the warmth of human feelings. "The food and drinks these days should be quite expensive, right?"

"It's okay, it's only half a tael of silver a day." Speaking of this, Chen Youfu changed to a flattering expression, "You have such great ability, eating and drinking is nothing."

"Then why don't you even borrow a few taels of silver?"

"This is a two-digit matter," Chen Youfu put away his smile and said very seriously: "I lost you when I made a bet, I offered my daughter to serve you, and the food tribute will not be lost. And it's only a month. When this month passes, you have no relatives and friends, no land, and no fame, how can you make a living?"

Fang Jingnan felt nervous when she heard this, what is this old man Chen doing?

Chen Youfu said again: "And this month you live a life of fine clothes and jade. Let you eat wild grass and bark, can you swallow it?"

My grass, this delicious food and drink is available. It turns out that this condom is waiting for me?

Isn’t this: it’s easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it’s difficult to go from extravagance to frugality?

After being crushed by the ancients again and again, and being dissatisfied with his incompetence, Fang Jingnan finally couldn't help it. She slapped the table and stood up and shouted: "What do you mean?"

Chen Youfu was not angry, his expression was extremely serious, and even had a hint of solemnity and sacredness, "Don't you have great luck? I want to take a look."

"It's all for you," Fang Jingnan's resentment that had been holding back for a day broke out completely. "You are a rich man in the countryside. Whether or not you have luck or not depends on your business."

"You can't say that," Chen Youfu said: "Remember the Chen genealogy I showed you? The dynasty also passed on a cycle of reincarnation for three hundred years. The Ming Dynasty has been established for 260 years. In recent years, natural disasters have continued to occur. Civil officials are greedy for money and military generals are afraid of death. I am afraid that decades will not be better. As a descendant of the Chen family, I need to make more considerations and arrangements for my descendants."

"Hahaha," as if this sentence hurts himself. Fang Jingnan laughed angrily, "Look, look, a rich man in the countryside has such a big mind. Who dares to say that I am no one in the Ming Dynasty? But unfortunately, I don't have much time left for you,"

Fang Jingnan stared at Chen Youfu's eyes and said word by word: "The Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty will be over. The year will not exceed ten years."
