Wuzhou Raiders Chapter 8 Learning from Comrade Ding Li

After Wu Kang analyzed the fake horse and took off the jade, he threw away the four-civilized copper coins on the table, and left the tea shed without taking away a cloud.

The Jiang brothers asked the horse seller to lead the horse, and the owner of the jade shop took the jade hairpin and picked up a few onlookers and took the liar to the prefecture. Seeing that the melon-eating crowd had no fun, they all returned to their homes, leaving only two young men in white.

He looked like a master and servant, and he was handsome in his 28th year. One of them whispered: "Little lady, this Wu Dalang is not like a good person. He has long understood everything. He should have caught the liar at the entrance of Genbao Teahouse! He is still a flattering villain. He flattered Alang and said that Alang is the Qingtian of Wuzhou and has a bad intention!"

"Isn't that right? Yeah, it's the Qingtian of Wuzhou, he said it right." Mrs. Cui glanced at her fiercely, and looked at her back as she was leaving in thought: What kind of book is "Thirty-Six Strategies"? It seems to be a military book. I have never heard of it! I'd better go back home and ask Yeah, I guess he should have read it.

Thinking of this, Cui Xiaoma left with her maid. She is Cui Yixuan's youngest, her favorite daughter, Cui Wulang's biological sister. After hearing Cui Wu's talk about getting out of danger in Shekou, she also read the Legend of White Snake and became interested in Wukang. Today, she took her maid to buy rouge and water powder. She accidentally met Wukang. She just hid in the crowd and witnessed his handling of the liar...

Wu Kang walked aimlessly on the street, thinking about how to change the reputation of bad people. In fact, the root cause of bad people's reputation is that the government employed them did not provide enough living expenses. He could not eat enough for his salary, so he could only fish and meat in the countryside. If he wanted a horse to run but didn't feed the horse, how could it be so cheap?

To fundamentally eliminate the need for food and tax, bad people must have enough income and at least be able to support their families. Employers' salary increase is nonsense, so they can only start from business. Wu Kang was thinking about it, why not share the benefits of ice making to them? Then he thought it was inappropriate. He didn't help the poor, so he couldn't get it without work.

As he was wandering outside the sky, a pungent stench came and he immediately pinched his nose. A man dressed in a servant walked past him with a dung bucket, walked to the garbage pile by the wall, poured yellow and white things on it, arousing countless green-headed flies.

Wu Kang retching in his abdomen, and he speeded up his pace to leave. He should be unlucky, and his left foot stepped on a pile of donkey dung. Looking at the dirty boots, he was so excited that he couldn't cry. He had no choice but to come to the next courtyard wall and clean the soles of his boots with the corner of the wall.

Out of the corner of my eyes, I accidentally found that the two of them were suspicious. I frowned and pondered for a moment, as if I had left the tea shed. The two boys kept following me. Could it be that they were the scammers' accomplices who wanted to take revenge? Those who came were not kind, and those who were kind would not come!

Thinking of Wu Kang's thought of this, he stood up straight, continued walking as if nothing had happened, looking for an opportunity to hide in the alley. In less than five minutes, two tails appeared at the entrance of the alley, looking like servants dressed like wealthy families. The eyes of both sides overlapped, and the two walked over quickly.

Even if they had no weapons on them, Wu Kang did not dare to take it lightly. He took a small step with his left leg, pressed the knife spring with his left hand, and held the handle of the knife with his right hand, showing off his posture and ready to go. The only wealth left by the original owner was his body of training and a few three-legged cat skills, which was more than enough to deal with the people in front of him.

The servant was frightened by the shock, stopped one meter away, and bowed to salute with a smile on his face. He hurriedly took the sign on his waist, and shivered and stretched out his arms and said, "Shishou Wu forgives the crime. The vulgar slave belongs to the Cui family, and it is Goro's handlebar."

Another person quickly responded: "I was also Goro's handlebar! Goro had a drink with Lu Sanlang in Huamanlou, and happened to see Wu Shuai dealing with official business. When Wu Shuai left, he asked me to invite him. I just saw Wu Shuai thinking, but I didn't dare to disturb him, so I followed behind, which made Wu Shuai misunderstand!"

These two are Cui Wu's people? There is indeed a restaurant next to the jade shop, so I didn't pay attention to the name. Wu Kang didn't dare to take it lightly, and hesitated for a moment and shouted at them: "Squat on the ground with your head in your hands and throw your waist card over. Without someone's permission, you are not allowed to act rashly. If someone thinks you are in danger, you should immediately get a knife out of your sheath!"

The servant did as he said, holding his head and squatted down slowly, carefully throwing the waist card. Wu Kang caught it with his left hand, but still didn't relax his vigilance, sweeping the waist card from the corner of his eyes. It was indeed from Cui's mansion, and he breathed a sigh of relief and straightened his back and said, "Get up, since he is a friendly army, don't be sneaky, you can easily be injured by accident. Lead the way in front of him, and I will go to find Cui Wu!"

Following the two of them towards Huamanlou, Wukang fell into deep thought again. The name Huamanlou was well-known to everyone in later generations, and Wuzhou is also known to everyone. It is the largest restaurant in Wuzhou City. The owner behind the scenes is Lu Zhou, whose courtesy name is Mushan, and he was born in the Lu family of Fanyang, whose surname is Qiwang.

His father's name is Lu Fu, whose courtesy name is Huaiyuan, was the right-hand man of Wuzhou's record officer, Cui Yixuan, the right-hand man of the governor, and the second in command of the officialdom in Wuzhou. It is said that he was Lao Cui's in-laws. This is not surprising. The five surnames and seven hopes are in the same spirit, and they have intimate connections. The family marriage is very ordinary.

I came to Huamanlou with no words all the way. As soon as I entered the private room, I was stunned. The second generation of officials from Wuzhou City gathered together, and all the well-known ones came! There were eight couches on both sides of the left and right. The so-called couches were four short wooden stakes that supported a wooden board.

This is the most headache-inducing thing for Wu Kang. He sat cross-legged when eating, like the Buddha in the temple. Before the modern furniture at home was ready, he kept squatting on the ground and was often laughed at by Ruyan’s master and servant.

The first couch on the left is Cui Wulang who was sitting and invited him over. There were two little wives serving him. The second one is Lu Zhou and Lu Mushan, and there were two little wives serving him. The third one is empty, and there was a little wives next to him. It was probably his seat. The fourth one is Sun Sanlang, and the third son of Sun Yingyuan, the Sicang Army. Sicang is in charge of the warehouse and market, similar to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau plus the Grain Management Bureau.

The first one on the right is Zheng Hong and Zheng Dalang, the eldest son of the judicial army, and his father is Wu Kang's immediate superior; the second one is Sun Mingji and Sun Erlang, the second son of Sihu. Sihu is a gathering of the Household Registration Department, Taxation Bureau, and Finance Bureau; the third one is Wang Fang and Wang Dalang, the eldest son of Sigong. Sigong is a gathering of the Culture Bureau, Education Bureau, and Health Bureau; the fourth one is Qin Yu and Qin Wulang, the fifth son of Sibu and the fifth son of Sibu and the logistics department of the army.

When everyone saw Wu Kang, Cui Wu walked over quickly, pulled him to the third position, and laughed at everyone, "My brothers, this is Wu Kang Wu Erlang, the new bad coach in Wuzhou City. If it weren't for Erlang, he wouldn't have lived here. I'll drink with you all! Erlang, Brother Yu will introduce you one by one."

Cui Wu pulled him to introduce it one by one. Wu Kang was also a person with a clear mind. He talked to people and talked to ghosts. While greeting and flattered, the second generation also greeted each other with a smile. When he entered the table, he looked at the wine glass on the couch and half a pound of wine bowls. After hesitation, he picked up the wine jar and filled a bowl of wine.

He carefully held up the bowl and turned to face everyone: "Brothers, there is a rule in my hometown to have three bowls of wine. I am late to attend the banquet. No matter what the reason, I will punish myself for three bowls of wine. I am all brothers, and I will punish myself for six bowls of wine."

After saying that, he raised his head and drank it, and poured it into the second bowl in an instant. A top student at the drinking talent training base, this kind of wine is like drinking cold water. After drinking six bowls in one breath, he will not grow up and do not change his face. It is so refreshing. Except for the stomach is a little stressed, there is no other discomfort.

The second generation were dumbfounded. Is this kid still a human? The whole wine jar! Lu Huaiyuan slapped his thigh and shouted loudly: "Erlang is indeed a huge number, and I can't beat you up. Brother Yu can't get into the table quickly. It's rare to gather together. Today I will never be drunk and never return!"

Others echoed and praised Wu Kang for a lot of money. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, everyone spoke freely, talking about everything and talking happily. Seeing that they were intentional or unintentional, Wu Kang pulled the topic on the ice making, and now he knew it. As expected, there was no good banquet for the banquet, and their drunken husband was not about the wine!

Zheng Hong and Zheng Dalang, who is the most impatient, relied on his own as Wu Kang's immediate boss and went straight to the point: "Erlang, we are all happy, open the skylight and speak loudly. I heard that my brother has a secret method of making ice, and Brother Cui Wu has already found a good shop. Brother Yu also wants to get a share of the pie. Just 10% of the members, please offer a price!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became quiet. Lu Mushan glared at Zheng Dalang, coughed dryly and clapped his hands, and the girls came out one after another. The door of the box was closed, all eyes were focused on Wu Kang, and the mediocre scene began.

Wu Kang put down his wine glass and said without rushing, "I have money, everyone makes money! The rain and dew are all mixed with Yangguan Road, and you can eat alone on a single-plank bridge! If you are interested, you will naturally not pour cold water on it. I am willing to give up..."

A woman suddenly wailed from the backyard, heartbreaking and heartbreaking, interrupting Wu Kang's words. The second generation was heading for orgasm, and suddenly they were disappointed, making them so angry that they all turned black.

As the boss, Lu Mushan thought he had been slapped in the face, slapped the table with a slam, and roared at the door: "Doctor outside the door, come in!"

The door of the private room opened in an instant, and a plop was heard, and a group tripped by the threshold, and a standard dog chewing shit. He didn't care about his broken mouth, and came to Lu Mushan, bent over and shivered.

Lu Mushan slapped the table again, stared at the bull's eyes and asked: "Doctor, who is crying, why are you crying?"

The guy collapsed to the ground with his legs limp, his face turned pale and sweating like rain, and he was trembling and couldn't speak.

Lu Mushan was furious and grabbed the wine bowl and was about to smash it. Cui Wu quickly dissuaded: "Sanlang is a little calm. He has been serving outside, but he doesn't know what to do. Let him go down and ask."

Lu Sanlang's chest was undulating violently. After a moment, he put down the wine bowl and scolded the guy: "What are you still standing there? Get out of here and ask! If you can't ask why, don't be a doctor. Get out of the bed and leave, don't let someone see you in Wuzhou."

If the guy got an amnesty, he stumbled out of the door, and the atmosphere in the private room was extremely heavy.

Wu Kang didn't understand why, why did he call the waiter a doctor? After thinking for a while, he thought about it. He called the restaurant clerk "Waiter", which was only available after the Song and Yuan dynasties, and the Tang Dynasty called them "Doctor". He couldn't help but secretly called them "Doctor". The doctor was walking all over the ground in later generations, and now he is as cheap as a dog.

About five minutes later, a hurry came from the corridor, and the wine doctor reported panting: "Mr. Lang. Rong. It's Ding Li's woman crying! His one-year-old boy... was drowned in the thatched cottage... the pit!"

The atmosphere became even worse, and everyone frowned. Wu Kang was because of pity, while others were disgusting. Zhengdao fish and meat, both a thatched cottage and a pit, it would be strange if it was not disgusting.

Lu San calmed down and sighed softly and ordered: "You can't be resurrected when you die. Go and help her deal with it. Give her more money to comfort her!"

Dr. Jiu nodded and ran out in a flash. Soon the crying stopped.

Wu Kang couldn't help but look at him differently. Lu Sanlang was so kind that he was still very caring about his subordinates. That copper coins were worth Ding Li's annual salary. I believe that in the Tang Dynasty, Ding Li could not sue Lu Sanlang except for admitting his bad luck. He claimed 81% compensation by using the excuse of being too deep?

Ding Li, Ding Li... Why is it so familiar? The melody of the song in my mind sounded, and Wu Kang suddenly realized that no wonder he is so familiar, it's Shanghai! I remember it was Andy Lau who played Ding Li, and Guorong played Brother Qiang in the movie

Grab Feng Chengcheng.

The two Ding Liting are destined to be together. Now this one, the child drowned in the cottage; the one in the movie also started with the cottage, poured toilets for citizens, and eventually became a generation of heroes in Shanghai.

Ding Li poured the toilet? There is a lot to do! I couldn't help but think of the manure piles seen in the alley in front of the restaurant and the servants who poured the manure piles into the manure piles. My thinking began to diverge, and blurred thoughts lingered in my mind, and became clearer and clearer.

There was no chemical fertilizer in this era. The fertilizer used for farming seemed to be only organic fertilizer, that is, feces for poultry, livestock and humans.

Later generations of manure-making cows and pigs were a younger brother in the Tang Dynasty. The cows were extremely scarce and precious. Take Wujia Village as an example. Dozens of households used three cows. Whenever the farming period was busy, they had to rent cows from the government. Because the second pigs did not have castration skills, they grew very slowly and the meat was not delicious, so they were regarded as cheap meat by the nobles, and farmers rarely raised them.

Wu Kang also wanted to castrate pigs, but he was just a physical education teacher, not as versatile as the predecessors of the Time Traveler Family! Not to mention castrated pigs, I don’t know where to cut them. The most common thing in this era is raising sheep, chickens and ducks, etc., and these younger brothers made too small manure.

The burden of manufacturing organic fertilizers naturally falls on people. Human manure is a nutritional supplement for farmers outside the city; for Wuzhou urban residents, it is a disgusting excrement.

If you learn from Comrade Ding Li, hire a group of people to walk around the streets, pour toilets from house to house, and clear the toilet. You can pile the fertilizer outside the city for fermentation and sell it to farmers at a low price during farming, right?

This will bring many benefits! First, purify the environment of Wuzhou City and add some political achievements to yourself; second, make a small fortune, even if you don’t make money, you have to lose money. You only want to find a legal source of income for your bad people.

Finally, make contributions to agriculture! As a rural person, naturally knows that if crops are not fertilized, and if they are applied more, they will have a great impact on yield. If farmers harvest more grain, they will be less hungry. In this way, is there any way to kill three birds with one stone? I am too smart!

Wu Kang felt happy and was daydreaming when his thigh was stabbed. He instantly realized that it was Cui Wu who stabbed him. The banquet was quiet, all his eyes were focused, and there was confusion in his eyes.

This was embarrassing. Wu Kang laughed dryly and apologized embarrassedly: "That...sorry, I'm distracted! What did you say just now?"

Cui Wu's face was full of vulgarity and laughed strangely, teasing: "Erlang, even if Ruyan is a little pretty, even if you are strong in your energy and blood, even if you are dry, young people should know how to control themselves. If you have a long life in the future, that kind of thing will be too much or too little!"

Wang Fang and Wang Dalang were also full of vulgarity and giggled: "Wulang is so bad, I'm afraid that there is more than Ruyan. Isn't there a little maid? Erlang laughed so vulgarly just now, so he must have remembered the happy thing last night!"

Wu Kang was a little confused. These guys were all old hooligans, and their imagination was bigger than his! In order to resolve the embarrassment, he immediately explained: "Brothers misunderstood. I didn't think about those things just now, but human feces..."

"Oh, Erlang is amazing." Qin Wulang, who had been silent, responded. In addition to being vulgar, his face also had deep admiration. He smiled lewdly: "Human feces... Does Erlang like waterways and like to walk on dry roads? Or do you mean waterways, and the dry roads are taking turns?"

Even the hypocritical Sun Sanlang said seriously: "Erlang does not follow the ordinary path, but is a role model for us. Brother Yu is convinced and admires him in all his heart!"

Oh my mother, these are a group of old drivers. Does the Tang Dynasty have a driver's license? Wu Kang was so amused that he immediately went to the next topic: "Brothers, let's get back to the point and talk about the issue of ice making!"

Speaking of these people, this is the fundamental purpose. Lu Sanlang slapped his thighs excitedly, and smiled and said, "I have said a long time ago that birds of a feather flock together. Erlang and Cui Wu are good friends, so that is not a stingy person! You don't believe it, can you judge a gentleman with a villain's heart?"

"How can you not believe it? Erlang said that if you have money, everyone will make money." Sun Sanlang smiled and flattered her very smoothly.

"Erlang, please offer a price. How much does a member of the first layer cost? It costs 20%?" Zheng Dalang, a judicial military officer, said 20%.

The other second generations scrambled to be the first, and the total amount was more than 20% of the ones, and the benefits were not enough for them to share. Wu Kang wanted to ask, what is the denominator of your share, 10 or 100?

But then again, it is reasonable for them to be crazy. The Tang Dynasty did not have air conditioners, and only ice was effective in reducing heat, which was quite precious! Even Li Jiu, Chang'an City, sometimes used ice as a salary and distributed it to his younger brothers, who were grateful.

Ruyan also said that wealthy families will pick ice in winter and hide in the ice cellar on the shady back. When the summer of the next year, 30% of the ice will be left, so it will burn the fragrance.

The luxury private rooms have become a vegetable market, and the second generation chatters endlessly. Some people roll up their sleeves. What are the friends in front of their interests?

The scene became more and more chaotic, and Lu San was so angry that he slapped the table. Finally, Cui Wu also slapped the table, and the scene became quiet.

Wu Kang sat firmly on Diaoyutai and gradually had an idea in his mind. He glanced at everyone's earnest eyes, clenched his left fist and placed it in front of his chest, stretched out his little finger and said, "I gave up the first place and exchanged for ten acres of land outside the city. Don't have paddy fields, don't have to fertile and barren fields, and you must also be on the road. Build a 10-meter-high courtyard wall, leave a 10-meter-wide gate, and build a house for five people to live in!"
