Chapter 46: Talent is meant to be buried
As long as women come from normal families, they seem to like to go back to their parents' homes... Women like Yun Niang, who do not come from normal families, are The night before I returned to my parents' home, I couldn't sleep either.
Seeing his mother busy organizing things without stopping for a moment, Yun Zhao said angrily: "I don't want to see you, and I want your son's property."
"My son, Yunmeng and the others are also going to Xi'an..."
"I asked for it. Your son's life is valuable. There is no one to protect him. I won't take the risk."
" I mean...I mean...if your grandfather treats you badly, you will be annoyed."
"It's okay, I can tolerate it. If I can't help it, I'll kill them all! "
Yunniang lamented: "You better not go."
Yunzhao smiled and said: "Mom, you have expected that I will be bullied, right? ?"
Yunniang sat on the kang and shook her head feebly: "With your grandfather's temper, we may be humiliated."
Yun Zhao smiled and held his mother's hand. Hand said: "It doesn't matter if he bullies me. If he dares to bully you, he will have a hard time."
"Yunmeng and the others have started to listen to you, haven't they?"
"No, The main thing is to listen to Uncle Fu, and Uncle Fu thinks that I can make some decisions now."
Yunniang was a little embarrassed, and finally sighed and went back to sleep. Yun Zhao thought that her mother would not be able to do it tonight. I had slept well, so I got up and went to find Uncle Fu to discuss my mother's carriage ride tomorrow.
"The arsenal cannot be opened easily. Even if the Yun family is going to die, the arsenal cannot be opened."
Yun Zhao didn't say anything, so Yun Fu spoke first.
"The arsenal doesn't actually belong to the Yun family, does it?"
"Yes! It belongs to the 'Biao Ziying', not the Yun family. Your grandfather was just a member of the 'Biao Ziying' Just the leader.
You, Yun Zhao, are just a junior from the 'Biao Ziying'."
"You mean, as long as you are a junior from the 'Biao Ziying'. Are you qualified to trade the heads of Tatars and Japanese pirates for weapons?"
Yun Fu nodded heavily and said, "That's true. The reason why your grandfather didn't give weapons to Yun Meng and the others was that Because, 'Biao Ziying' is an official, and Yunmeng and the others are bandits!
The weapons used to defend the country cannot fall into the hands of bandits! ”
Yun Zhao looked at Yun Fu and sighed. He said in a tone: "When my grandfather was here, many people in the Yun family became thieves."
Yunfu said proudly: "That is the inheritance passed down from the ancestors, and it was not done by your grandfather. The remaining Yin clan Being a thief is filial piety, and killing enemies for the country is loyalty!"
"In other words, Uncle Liu and the others are not qualified to obtain the weapons in the arsenal, right?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, please keep it safe for me. Oh, by the way, where are the other juniors from 'Biao Ziying'?"
"You want to kill them? "
When Yun Fu heard this, his voice became a little cold.
"No, I just want to ask where they are and if we can all join forces to kill the Tatars. Kill the Japanese pirates. ”
Yun Zhao felt that he could not continue the discussion. God knows what the ethics of the ancients were like. In addition, although he still yearned for the arsenal very much, it was not to the point where he had to get it. .
In the past few decades, weapons have been updated at a rapid pace, and old weapons may not be able to adapt to war under new conditions.
The Yun clan is divided. After coming out of Yin and Yang, he treated the Yun clan members as schizophrenics.
Yun Zhao decided to put an end to this pedantic behavior in the future.
Today, Uncle Fu also did it. A very important piece of news was revealed, that is - there are many weapons in the arsenal, so many that they can make people want to kill.
At dawn, Yun's two-wheeled carriage was ready. It's a real green car, but the decoration on it is a bit outdated.
I don't know how that vixen Qian Duoduo instigated his mother to bring her and Yunchun with him on such a big trip to Xi'an. , Yunhua, and Granny Qin.
It shouldn’t be very comfortable for five people to squeeze into the Biyou car, but since his mother liked it, Yun Zhao just let it go.
He still rode. Two young men, Yun Yang and Yun Juan, followed him on a donkey, but they were riding in a carriage pulling goods.
Yunmeng, dressed like a farmer, was driving a donkey cart ahead, and Yun Hu was leading the way. , Clouded Leopard, with four thieves dressed as swordsmen pretending to be the family's guards.
Fu Bo followed slowly in a donkey cart.
It was dawn. , the group left Yunjiazhuangzi.
It is a hundred miles from Yunjiazhuangzi to Xi'an City. If it is a fast horse, it can go back and forth in one day, but the donkey cart... It only takes two days.
In the past, Yun Zhao never thought that fifty kilometers would be a long distance. Now, he is riding a donkey and slowly approaching Xi'an at a walking speed.
The reason why ancient people would say goodbye again was because of the damn transportation.
After leaving the country road and entering the official road, Yun Zhao kept laughing at Yunhu and Yunbao, making the two uncles blush. .
This road is the work of several uncles.
Most of the people coming and going on the official road are small traders pushing chicken carts, and some are driving donkeys. Farmers carrying grain to sell in Xi'an City.
The period after the wheat harvest is the most prosperous time in Guanzhong, and it is also the time when business is most developed.
Businessmen traveling on the road. It seems that the business atmosphere in Guanzhong is not good. There are not many materials that people can exchange. Most of them are rice grains, chickens and ducks, and some handmade products, such as bamboo baskets and wicker baskets...< /p>
After walking less than twenty miles, Yun Zhao had already eaten a watermelon, a pile of late-ripening apricots, and two green peaches.
The merchants refused to trade with copper coins, as it was inappropriate to use silver, so Yunfu happily exchanged the wheat from the donkey cart.
This is not a normal business phenomenon. If this kind of bartering becomes a common transaction method in Guanzhong, it means that everyone is evading taxes...
No one will The country was regarded as one thing, which was an extremely dangerous signal for the Ming Dynasty.
People in Guanzhong rarely have horses. It’s not that they can’t raise them, but that they can easily be requisitioned by the government. Therefore, over time, the people in Guanzhong who like to raise horses gradually stop raising horses. Raise mules and donkeys.
The one pulling Yun Niang’s carriage is a big green mule. This mule is tall and gentle in temperament. It is the star among the large livestock of the Yun family. According to Uncle Fu, such a good big green mule , are rare in Xi'an.
A woman's carriage will not raise the curtains when walking on the road. No matter how hot it is, the curtains cannot be raised to enjoy the cool air. Especially wealthy families pay more attention to these rules.
There are also many women on the road who raise the curtains to look outside. They are all doing business. In half a day, the brothers Yunhu and Yunbao have visited twice secretly.
We will cross the Chan River in the afternoon.
This small river originated from Yunshi Tangyu. After the confluence of a large number of small streams, it turned into a river on the plain and finally merged into the Bahe River.
A wooden bridge was built over this river that should belong to the Yun family, and there were people standing on both sides to collect fees. It seemed that a good buyer was robbing Dao Qiang.
Yun Zhao carefully looked at the charging process and found that the government fees were actually more humane. Yun Zhao watched a group of beggars swaggering across the bridge without throwing a penny into the bamboo basket on the bridge. .
The official responsible for collecting fees seemed to have no intention of pursuing the case.
After Yun's motorcade arrived on the bridge, the officials acted as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They pulled out half of their worn-out waist knives and asked for money in a cold tone.
A donkey costs ten cents, and a person charges two cents. It’s just that the donkey is worth more than the person. It also depends on the goods on the donkey cart.
"The mule cart is filled with official family members!"
After Uncle Fu raised his momentum, he was also majestic.
"Master Hong has ordered that both officials and citizens must pay the bridge toll. At the same time, the goods must also be inspected. If there is no inspection by the Lantian County tax officer, the commercial tax must be paid."
The chief official was sitting in the pavilion, eating salted soybeans, but he didn't come over and said to Yun Fu slowly.
Yunfu cupped his hands and said, "Isn't it just Mr. Hong?"
"Hong Chengchou, who oversees food and participates in politics, Mr. Hong, if this military sect has any old relationship with Mr. Hong, then... Please say a few words of kindness and beg him to be noble and spare me Kuhaha. Don’t set up a card to get a few pennies from Kuhaha, so as not to be poked in the spine by the villagers and spit on when you drink. ”
< p>The chief official said things nicely, but he had no intention of letting the Yun family leave.Yunniang and Granny Qin got out of the carriage and saluted the official Yingying: "I am an official's family, so naturally I dare not disobey the order. However, there are three girls in the carriage and it is not convenient for me to show my face. Please send me It's just a convenience for the official."
The official was already slightly drunk. He raised his eyes and glanced at Yun Niang, then turned his head and said, "I don't want to embarrass you, madam. After paying for the bridge crossing, please do what you want."
After Yun Niang thanked her, she got on the carriage. Yun Zhao jumped off the donkey's back, jumped up to the officer and grabbed a handful of salt water. Huang Dou said with a smile: "A person like you shouldn't be an official."
The official saw that Yun Zhao was white, fat and cute, so he laughed and said: "Guess what?" , What do I do?"
Yun Zhao said with a smile: "You should be a military attache!"
