After passing the scale, it was 282 pounds. Wang Jian generously wiped off the fraction and calculated it as 280 pounds.
An accountant was tapping an abacus with his hands. After remembering a number, he came up to Butler Zhang and reported in a low voice.
Wang Jian had already calculated the total price in his heart and watched quietly without saying anything.
"Brother, the total is 5040."
After calculating the price, Butler Zhang picked up a money bag and handed it to Wang Jian.
"5040 Wen, which is converted into 5 taels of silver and 40 Wen, please count it!"
Wang Jian took the money bag, counted it quickly, raised his head and tightened the bag and said.
"In exchange for the money, I wish the old lady in advance to be as blessed as the East China Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains!" Wang Jian respectfully raised his hands towards Butler Zhang, intending to say the famous saying for future generations to wish them a happy birthday.
"May you be as blessed as the East Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains!" Butler Zhang read a few words in a low voice.
Immediately, his eyes shone with brilliance, and with a bit of excitement and gratitude, he said to Wang Jian respectfully.
"Good words, good words!"
"I have accepted your love. Do you need Zhang's help if you need help?"
Wang Jian knew that he did not want to owe any favors, so he raised his hands and said, "Steward Zhang, the whole 60 people in Majiazhuang Village are about to run out of food. I would like to ask Steward Zhang to resell some grain to tide over the crisis."
Grain This is no small matter. Butler Zhang walked back and forth a few times with his hands behind his back, then walked up to Wang Jian and said, "Chen Liang can be sold to you at the official price of 20 shi."
The official price of Chen Liang is 1 shi and 100 wen. Money, new grain is 1 stone and 200 Wenqian.
During the drought years, grain dealers and aristocratic families drove up grain prices, which were three times higher than the official price.
Butler Zhang is willing to sell grain for 20 shi at the official price, which is a great kindness.
Wang Jian clasped his hands in his fists and said with some excitement, "Thank you, Butler Zhang, for your help. I owe you a favor."
Butler Zhang waved his hands and said with a smile, "Just for my help, I owe you a favor." My two birthday wishes are worth more than this."
The ox cart slowly drove out of Zhang's Mansion, pulling a cart full of grain, and headed towards Fangshi.
On the oxcart, Wang Jian looked back and forth at the money several times. Even though he was a mature man, he could not help but be excited.
I didn’t expect this transaction to go so smoothly. I even bought a full 2,000 kilograms of grain at a price of half sale and half free.
"Brother, please show me!"
When Erdan drove the bullock cart to the avenue, he finally couldn't help but grab the money bag and looked through it excitedly. meeting.
Wang Jian clasped his hands behind his head and leaned comfortably on the grain behind him. Looking at his silly-looking second brother, he felt filled with a sense of accomplishment.
I was thinking about how to catch the wild boar that ran away, and then I would get the five goals again.
I just don’t know thatWill a wild boar return to its original nest?
Wild Wolf Mountain is so big that if it escapes into the dense forest to make a nest, it will be difficult to find it.
...
After the convoy left Zhangfu Street, a group of people armed with broadswords and long sticks came out from the corner. They looked at the cattle loaded with grain with fierce eyes. car.
"Brother, there is a whole cart of grain. Those two boys must still have money on them. They will be able to eat and drink for a few days."
One face The man with a scar was carrying a four-foot sword and whispered to the one-eyed man standing at the front of the crowd.
"Brother, do it. The younger one has recently taken on another concubine, and he can hardly afford it."
"After doing this, all brothers can Live the life of a great master for a few days."
The people behind him raised their blades and agreed.
The man at the front of the crowd is Yu Hualong, the leader of the Yulong Gang in Longmen County. He is around 30 years old and is well-known in Longmen County for his sword.
Hundreds of people work under him, and they have made a lot of money over the years.
Yu Hualong stroked his stubby beard on his chin, squinted at the retreating carriage, and cursed in a low voice.
"Didn't you see that he came from the Zhang Mansion?"
When they heard that it was the Zhang Mansion, their subordinates all fell silent. There was a look of fear on his face.
Even though the Yulong Gang has brother No. 10, he is the king and hegemon in Longmen County.
If you offend County Lieutenant Zhang, you will definitely be left with nothing to eat.
I don’t know how I will die by then.
The group of people looked at it for a moment, and then, led by Yu Hualong, walked to the other end of the street.

The people walking along the way gave way.
The overall land in Longmen County is flat and fertile, with abundant water resources from the Fen River, and agriculture is very developed.
Traveling merchants from all over the world gather here, and most of the goods available in Chang'an City can be found here.
Wang Jian came to Fangshi and walked around in a circle.
The food sold in the grain shop was horribly expensive, and not many customers came to patronize it.
The waiter in the shop was leaning against the door frame, his head dozing off little by little.
There were many people selling vegetables. After some bargaining, Wang Jian bought a large basket of vegetables.
Then I bought 20 chicks and a few thumb-thick hemp ropes.
There are many dazzling products, but you can’t afford them if you are short of money.
"Erdan, you take the cows to graze outside the city, and I'll go to the blacksmith shop to make some iron tools."
Wang Jian tied all the things he bought to the bullock cart. Erdan said.
HitThe well requires iron rods, pulleys, and some iron picks and shovels to dig the well and lift the soil.
Tietou Blacksmith Shop is one of the only two blacksmith shops in Longmen County. The blacksmith is a good wine master, and outsiders call him Lao Tietou.
He used to help the government forge weapons, but when he got older, he returned to his hometown and opened a blacksmith shop of his own.
I usually make hoes, pots and the like.
His craftsmanship is very good and he has many repeat customers.
A small blacksmith shop can earn a lot of income a year.

Erdan’s horse was secretly built by Wang Jianhua, who paid him a lot of money.
"Master Tietou, please help me make some tools."
When Wang Jian walked into the large blacksmith shop, the old Tietou with white hair was leaning against the pillar. Take a nap.
Hearing the sound, the old Tietou, who was nearly sixty years old, slowly opened his eyes and woke up instantly when he saw Wang Jian.
The man who has been open for three years is here.
Lao Tietou greeted him enthusiastically, grinning and said, "Little brother, just call me Lao Tietou. Master Tietou is an awkward call."
" What are you going to hit this time, a broadsword or a spear? I promise to make it look good for you."
You little old man, you made a quick buck, you are addicted.
"Old Tietou, I am a good young man who abides by the law. Don't let me make mistakes."
"I'll let you help me make some tools this time."
Wang Jian leaned back slightly, scorning the old Tietou who had a wealth-obsessed look on his face.
In order to make Lao Tietou understand clearly, Wang Jian picked up an iron bar and drew the patterns of well-drilling tools and iron pots on the ground.
He explained it in detail to Lao Tietou.
The old master lowered his head to think about the measurement, and after a while he said, "Brother, you can take away the pickaxe and shovel by simply changing the iron material."
"The other few This thing requires a lot of iron, and it takes a lot of effort to forge it so finely."
While Tietou was thinking, Wang Jian looked around at the environment in the shop. After hearing what the old master said. , turned around and said.
"Master Tietou, the price is not an issue. How long does it take you to make it?"
"Three pieces, I will help you build it within 2 days." Tietou affirmed said.
Wang Jian shook his head and said, "Three passes are fine, but I will need these things tomorrow afternoon."
Lao Tietou did not immediately answer Wang Jian's words, he squatted down After thinking for a while, he said, "It's done. I'll pick it up tomorrow afternoon."
Wang Jian breathed a sigh of relief when he received Lao Tietou's answer.
After receiving Wang Jian’s three blows at once, Lao Tietou happily patted his chest.He said directly, "Brother, just watch it, I promise to make it beautiful for you."
Wang Jian walked out of the blacksmith shop carrying an empty money bag. This time, he spent all the money from selling the pigs. It was clean, not a single copper was left.
But now there is food. Although there is no meat, at least there is no fear of starvation.
Wang Jian strode towards the south gate in a happy mood.
