I have to say that the efficiency of the government is still very high at this time. Wei Ming didn't wait a few days before he got what he deserved. In return, Wei Ming also installed the lighter in a beautiful gift box, and wrote a manual personally, telling Liang Dingxian that the lighter should not be exposed to the sun, nor can it be heated. The best place is a cool and ventilated place. After Liang Dingxian took the lighter back, it was really a confession from the ancestor. Hidden in her own small secret room, afraid of being discovered by others. At the same time, he wrote a memorial to Emperor Wanli and reported the incident to Wanli. It's just that it's hard to say whether Wanli can see his memorial now.
Wei Ming has been very comfortable these days. Liang Dingxian deserves to be a kind man. In addition to giving Wei Ming five thousand five hundred taels of silver, he also has 1,000 acres of fertile land. He didn't treat Wei Ming badly in the elastic aspect of the house. A large yard was set aside for Wei Ming in the center of the city. It is said that this was originally the residence of a corrupt official. After the corrupt official was investigated, the yard was confiscated. Until now it has been empty. Liang Dingxian also made a favor, instructing that the house was given to Wei Ming because of Wei Ming’s contribution. This made Wei Ming's unpleasantness fleeting. I met Liang Dingxian again. Generally speaking, in addition to being more obsessed with official positions, he is still a kind person.
There is a big yard, and of course servants are indispensable. These days, life is not easy, so let’s plant a little bit of land. Taxes have risen so sharply that it is hard to live. In a disaster year, you have to sell your children and daughters. Being a servant or something in a big family has become a long-term solution. It didn't take long for Wei Ming's notice to be posted, and quite a few people came to apply. It didn't take long for the servants to recruit enough.
"Report, sir, someone outside asks for a meeting. It says you know him." The little servant Wei Ming who ran in still had a deep impression of him. There are dozens of servants, but this child is the youngest, only thirteen years old. When he was recruited, his parents sent him over. This always gives Wei Ming the feeling of hiring child labor. However, looking at the family in tattered clothes, they are also yellow and thin, and it seems that he is still the boss of the family. Follow a few younger brothers and sisters. If you don't take him in, it is estimated that this family will not even survive this winter. Therefore, in the end Wei Ming nodded his head, gave the family five taels of silver, and signed a contract, which was regarded as selling the child to Wei Ming. Of course, Wei Ming didn't really intend to let his family act as a bull. The monthly wages are still to be paid. Wei Ming regarded himself more as his boss, while his servants were hired. It is an employment relationship. There is no limit to freedom in life. After the family left, Wei Ming burned the contract in front of the child. This makes the child even more grateful. Wei Ming touched his conscience and asked himself if he didn't want to buy people's hearts. However, since this good effect has been achieved, it can be regarded as a surprise.
"I know? What does Xiao Dongzi look like?" Wei Ming put down the "Golden Mean" in his hand and said. Now that we have come to this era, of course we must have a certain understanding of the culture of this era. Since this era is so good, Wei Ming also came to the village to follow the customs. It's always bad to be different from people everywhere. In that case, it is difficult to integrate into the group.
"I'm a fat man, dressed in gorgeous clothes. Looks rich." Xiaodongzi said. Always arched when speaking. It's been a while since I came to Weifu, but I always feel like a dwarf. In front of Wei Ming, he felt his status was low. Unconsciously, it was short.
"Xiao Dongzi, I have told you so many times, and I stood up straight when speaking. You did not owe me anything, and you are no worse than anyone else. Man man, stand up straight!" Wei Ming took the book in Xiao Dongzi Knocked on the head, and walked out of the house while talking. The fat man, or the rich fat man, he can know the one who called the most favorite at the auction that day.
After Wei Ming went out, he saw that it was the fat man. Although it is June, it is not hot. It can also be said to be a bit cold. But the fat man was still sweating profusely. Maybe it's a little anxious in my heart, I'm wiping sweat constantly there. Wei Ming can also understand. When I was in college, there was a fat man in my dormitory, and he liked to sweat when he was all right.
"Oh, Boss Wang, why did you come to me today?" Wei Ming handed over and took the initiative to greet him.
"Oh, brother Wei, you are now well-known throughout Xi'an! I don't think it will be long before more people will visit you. I guess you will be too busy and overwhelmed by the time. "The fat man bowed his hand in return. But this sweat is getting more and more.
Wei Ming nodded, without saying much, welcoming the fat man into the Wei Mansion. The fat man was right, he is indeed well-known throughout Xi'an now. It may not be long before the whole Shaanxi will know that they are such a person. If Liang Dingxian can really dedicate a lighter to the emperor, then his own name will blow to the capital like the wind. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
"Boss Wang came to me today, what's the point?" Wei Ming let someone serve tea, and then went straight to the point. Being with this fat man is also a fate, and he is not polite enough to go around ten or eight turns to find that little common language.
"Brother Wei, the so-called "Nothing" is not going to the Three Treasures Palace. I'm here this time, I want to cooperate with you." Fatty is also a neat person, and after thinking about it, he said his intention. He could see that Wei Ming was a straightforward person. If you play tricks around the corners, it will be a bad thing.
Wei Ming's first feeling was that this product was here to cheat his own money. Part of the reason why Weifu recruited so many people was because of fear of being robbed. After all, thousands of taels of silver are enough to make many people jealous. If there are a few bandits, it would be nice to have some help. Since there is the possibility of bandits, there is the possibility of liars. And this fat man, in Wei Ming's eyes, is a fat man.
In fact, we can't blame Wei Ming for being so suspicious. There are too many things like this in future generations. Basically, as long as the little bit of cheapness in your heart comes to mind, you are not far from bad luck. All kinds of pits have been dug for you long ago, just waiting for you to jump. It made Wei Ming, a good young man of the 21st century, almost neurotic. However, Wei Ming asked curiously: "How to cooperate?"
"That's it. Over the years, Yangzhou, Suzhou and other places have begun specialized production. Since you don't grow grain, you have to buy grain, and you can't starve to death. And in Shaanxi, there is nothing you can do except grain. Over the years, natural disasters have become more and more serious, and the value of silver has gradually emerged. We can buy enough grain with very little silver here, and then sell it to places where food is scarce in Yangzhou, Suzhou. It can definitely be greatly improved. Make a fortune!"
After the fat man finished speaking, Wei Ming started to think. Originally, this was Wei Ming's idea. The fat man doesn't know, but he does! Next year, because of food shortages in Suzhou, Yangzhou and other places, there will even be cannibalism. The commerce there is developed and people have some money in their hands. If you get the food there to sell, you can definitely make a lot of money. I originally wanted to eat this fat by myself, but now it seems that it is not that easy. People are not fools. No one will be deceived. No one will discover this business opportunity.
But Wei Ming still has his own scruples. "Since such a good opportunity, why did Brother Wang come to me? You can do it yourself!" Wei Ming said. With this idea in mind, wouldn’t it be better to earn money by yourself if you immerse yourself in it? You have to pull the individual, isn't this just causing trouble for yourself? Or is it to give your own money to others? Who can be so stupid? There must be a reason for this.
"Oh, I don't think Brother Wei is a talent, so..."
"Said Laogan." Wei Ming didn't have the mind to play dumb riddles with the fat man here. What is what it is, what are the twists and turns to do.
"Okay. I said. This world is not easy to mix up. There are chaotic people everywhere. If you want to eat this piece of fat by yourself, I'm afraid it will be difficult. But if you want to get the relationship with the government, I want to be simpler. "The fat man said while taking a peek at Wei Ming's face.
"What else?" Wei Ming said.
"Also, I don't have that much money. Didn't you make a lot of money? We can work together." The fat man continued. Sitting here, it felt as if Wei Ming had seen it through.
"Deal!" After the fat man had finished speaking, Wei Ming stood up contentedly and hugged him affectionately. I didn't think of the government level. Maybe it's not a bad thing to have this fat man.
(Brothers, come on! Get up together)
