One Piece of Song Dynasty

Chapter 19 Shijie Village

"Zhang Hu, do you remember that woman's face?"

"Back to the young master, remember..biquge"

"Okay, just remember it. I once heard a Taoist priest say that this family will be in trouble. This woman will be demoted to an official prostitute in the future. When the time comes, we will use the money to redeem her. She should be your mistress in the future. ”

"Well, I understand, little one." Zhang Hu said with a smile.

When I think of beauties like Liang Hongyu, I feel that Han Shizhong has made a lot of money. Unfortunately, now that I have come to the Song Dynasty, I have nothing to do with you, General Han. I am sorry that General Han robbed your future wife.

"Zhang Hu, pack up, let's go, continue north, towards Liangshan, Shandong."

"Yes, son."

After a few days, we entered the boundary of Liangshan. The 1119-mile water park in Liangshan is indeed well-deserved, with beautiful scenery, lakes everywhere, and fishermen sailing on the lakes. There should be no grass bandits in Liangshan now. The start time of Water Margin In , more than a year later, it is said that the Shuibo fishermen followed Liangshan in rebellion because the imperial court increased taxes on fishermen.

After walking in the water for a few days, we arrived at Shijie Village. This Shijie Village is right on the lake. The village is quite large, with houses and communities gathered in the village. Outside the village, there are green trees. There are dozens of boats docked on the lake not far away. The fishing boat looks like a fisherman. The three Ruan brothers have separated. Xiaowu is the most filial and lives with his mother, but Xiaowu also likes gambling. The three brothers have a good relationship. They make a living by fishing and occasionally engage in private business. I have to find someone to ask the three brothers where they live, but I don’t know if Zhang Rong is also in this village and whether the three Ruan brothers know Zhang Rong.

"This little brother, do you know where the three Ruan brothers live?" As I said that, I gave the boy dozens of copper coins.

"You know, you know, that thatched house in front is Ruan Xiaoqi's home. If you find him, you can find the other two." The boy said with a bright smile.

"Thank you little brother."

I came to the thatched house and knocked on the door. I saw a man about six feet tall coming out. He was wearing a chess piece cloth vest and a raw cloth skirt tied around his waist. He looked like he was living in embarrassment.

"Who is knocking on the door?"

"But the seventh brother among the three Ruan brothers?"

"It's me, what do you brothers want from me?"

"I'm here to bring you three brothers wealth."

"Oh, what wealth?" Ruan Xiaoqi said with interest.

"Can you please invite brothers Xiao Er and Xiao Wu to talk together?"

"Okay then, let's go to my fifth brother's house and talk."

Ruan Xiaoqi took us to Ruan Xiaowu’s home.

"Fifth brother, someone has brought wealth to our family. Go and call the second brother."

When I entered the house, I saw that it was in a mess. A man was wearing a tattered turban, a rag shirt, and a chess cloth handkerchief around his trousers. He was sitting on the ground with a melancholy expression.

"Hey, fifth brother, what's going on?"

"I lost my gambling money again." After saying that, Ruan Xiaowu looked at me.

"My name is Li Xin. I come from Quanzhou Prefecture on Fujian Road. I am here to give you three brothers a fortune."

"It turns out that he is a nobleman from Quanzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. I am disrespectful and disrespectful." Ruan Xiaowu Gong said with cupped hands.

"Just to discuss it with our three brothers, let's go to the second brother's house. My house is a bit messy, and I'm resting in the back room."

"Okay." Then I asked Zhang Hu to put down two boxes of pastries, two pieces of silk and two jars of homemade fruit wine.

"How can a distinguished guest be so polite? You must serve me so well." Ruan Xiaowu quickly declined.

"There is no need to refuse. I am the most respectful and filial man. This is my meeting gift to the old lady and you." After hearing this, Ruan Xiaowu accepted it knowing that he could not refuse.

I saw Xiaoqi wink when he saw these things, so I gave him two taels of silver.

"Brother Xiao Qi, go and buy some food. Buy more good ones. You don't need the wine. I can bring some. Let's go to Brother Xiao Qi's place and eat and chat together." Ruan Xiaoqi took the money and left happily. .

"Zhang Hu, go to the carriage and get some jars of fruit wine."

"Yes, son."

After a while, Ruan Xiaoqi came back with a pair of large chickens, ten pounds of cooked pork, and ten pounds of cooked mutton. After leaving some mutton for the old lady, the four of us went to Ruan Xiaoer's home.

"Second brother, fifth brother and I are here to find you."

Hearing the sound outside the door, a man wearing a ragged turban and old clothes walked out of the house. He walked steadily, and he looked like a stable person at first glance.

Ruan Xiaoer is the most stable person among the three. As long as he is persuaded, there will be no problem.

"This is Brother Li Xin from Quanzhou Prefecture on Fujian Road. He is here to bring wealth to our three brothers." Ruan Xiaoqi pointed at me and introduced Ruan Xiaoer.

"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. Let's talk in the room."

Ruan Xiaoqi took the wine and meat and sat down in the waiter's home.

"If you are rich, don't rush to tell me in advance. Let's fill our stomachs first." I sat down and said politely.

"Okay, okay." Ruan Xiaoqi said impatiently.

The five of us ate big bowls of meat and drank a lot of wine. We chatted while eating. We talked about everything, and there was laughter from time to time. We had a full meal, and we didn't start talking about business until we were full.

"Don't you know what kind of wealth Brother Li gave us brothers?" Ruan Xiaoer asked first.

"On the way to Shandong, I heard about the names of you three brothers. You three brothers are all very good at sailing on and off the water. My family is building ships and preparing for sea trade. I would like to ask you three brothers to go to Quanzhou to help me train. Sailors, of course, are well treated.”

"Oh, how is the treatment?"

"The three of you will be paid fifty guan per month." When I said the guan salary, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi's eyes lit up.

"Is it just the three of us going?"

"No, you go together as a family. If it's just the three of you, it doesn't mean that you and your family are separated from each other. This would harm the world. I won't do that."

"But my mother is getting old and her health is not suitable for traveling far." Ruan Xiaoer said a little disappointed.

"That's no problem. I'll give you two hundred taels of silver first. You go and build a few carriages and make the inside of the carriages thicker. This will make the old lady more comfortable when traveling far away." After saying that, I asked Zhang Hu to take it out. Two hundred taels of silver were placed on the table.

"Brother Li, can I ask, are you really just training sailors?" Ruan Xiaoer asked with some doubts.

"Seriously, of course I will go out to sea to fish, which is what you are best at. I won't let you go away. I still have to rely on you to help me train sailors. I can't bear to let you go away. Of course you When training sailors, you must teach them all your skills, after all, you will sometimes encounter pirates when sailing on the sea."

"That's no problem. Thank you Brother Li for your support. I won't bother Brother Li in the future. We will definitely train those sailors well." Ruan Xiaoer stood up and bowed.
