Chapter 60: The Dinghu People


Two hundred acres of land, 60,000 pits, each pit three feet deep.

Such a large project cannot be completed by Wang Dang alone.

"It's really me who brought all the brothers down this time."

Wang Dang felt very ashamed when facing his brothers.

Although a group of them are shouting about selling people to find people, they are actually guilty.

As long as they can afford the money to buy people, some of them are easy to offend, and if one of them does not do well, Wang Danghe All his brothers have to join in.

Looking back on the past two years, the brothers often traveled to many places because they often worked as porters for others.

They thought they had seen the world, and they also imitated others and sold their belongings.

However, when they met the man who bought them forcibly, they had a dispute. , attracted official officials, and was arrested.

In the end, those who had been forced to buy were fine, but the local officials sentenced Wang Dang and others for causing trouble and punished them with hard labor.

They spent more than half a year building roads in that county.

Thanks to the concerted efforts of the brothers and their tight embrace, otherwise they would not have even thought about it.

Get out of that damn place completely.

"What does this mean?

Since we are brothers, we should support each other."

Among these people, Wang Dang is the most skilled and the most righteous person.

These men have always looked up to him.

Now that his family is in trouble, why not help each other.

"If we can wait until spring, I can dig a hundred holes like that in one day."

One of the men said, patting his chest.

"The soil is still frozen, but it's not easy to dig.

Why not wait until spring and call a few brothers to help, and if we gather twenty people, we can dig it out in a month."

Those who say this don't need to.

It is said to be the brain trust among their group of people.

"In that case, after Naluo Sanlang and I go to the city to complete the paperwork, we will go back to Dinghu County first, and then come back to dig holes in the spring of next year."

With Wang Dang's appeal, he only It's just a matter of digging a hole for a month.

It's not difficult to find those twenty people, because he has always been a chivalrous and righteous person, and many people in the neighborhood are indebted to him.

It’s just that he should go back this time.

Should Wang Shao take that boy back or keep him here first?

Take him back.

He ran away before the money was paid back.

It doesn’t seem very kind.

Let’s keep him here.

Seeing how delicious that boy is, I feel a bit sad.

By the way, how could Luo Sanlang buy a servant?

How could anyone raise a bought slave with his own brothers?

Whatever their family eats, then Wang Shaopeng Er will eat whatever they want, just doing some work.

Who doesn't do this these days?

There is work to be done, and the Luo family themselves also have to do work.

Wang Dang is not an ignorant person.

Yesterday, those few officers went to Xipo Village with them.

Luo Sanlang entertained them with delicious food and drinks.

At least they were happy to serve them.

Secondly, Tian just went back to the city to report and did not mention Huantou arresting them.

Otherwise, if a false accusation is slapped, their group will get nothing good.

"Wang Da, I see that the villagers here seem to be a little busy making tofu and selling tofu every day.

If not, why don't I stay here and earn some money from running errands with them."

The think tank just said again .

"You mean" Wang Dang is also having a very difficult time at home.

He just came back from abroad a few days ago and earned a lot of money.

He originally thought he would be safe through the winter, but he never thought that his mother-in-law had a miscarriage.

The little money was not enough.

Buy medicine for her, there will be no leftover.

"They have to make tofu and transport goods to Lishi County.

They go back and forth on the road, which delays the time of making tofu.

I heard that there are other livelihoods in Lishi County recently, and there are fewer traffickers and goons.

"If you don't want us to stay here, we can help the villagers transport goods to the city, or sell some goods to the countryside," the man said.

"You mean, we will live in this courtyard soon."

Wang Dang reached out and wiped his rough, black and red face.

This brother of his is good at everything and is very righteous, but his abacus is too precise.

The son he thought was lost was found, and he was well fed and living in the Luo family.

Luo Sanlang also promised him to work in exchange for money.

Wang Dang already felt that he owed the other party's boss a favor.

This brother of his own was better , this means relying on others.

"If Wang Daruo can't show his face, why don't I go and talk to him?"

said the think tank of medium height with a goatee.

"I'll go ahead and talk."

Wang Dang waved his hand.

What his brother said makes sense.

Although Dinghu County is close to the Yellow River, merchants often come and go.

Many young people in the area work as porters to earn money, and they can only get three to five liters of corn a day.

If you are willing to give two or three pennies, that would be considered very generous.

Recently when he was in Dinghu County, he also heard that money and food were easy to earn in Lishi, but because he suffered the loss of being unfamiliar with the place before, he never came here.

This time he came here by chance.

At first glance, it turned out to be a good place.

Looking at this Xipo Village alone, every household has constant smoke from cooking, and from time to time there are oxcarts and carriages passing through the village, giving it a prosperous and affluent scene.

But how to tell Naluo Sanlang about this matter really put Wang Dang in trouble.

In the afternoon of this day, Luo Yong always saw Wang Dang wandering around his yard, helping to chop wood and carry water.

There was a donkey cart and he couldn't use it, so he had to carry it back for him one by one on his shoulders.

He even wanted to help Siniang and the others mix chicken chowder.

After the incident, Luo Yong looked at him with something wrong.

He wondered if this girl was a human trafficker who deliberately made a child and sold it to someone else's home, and then took the opportunity to contact this person.

When asked "Are you okay?"

Luo's tone was quite bad.

"That" Boss Wang kept squeaking and groaning, and finally said it bravely.

"That courtyard can be accommodated by you for the time being.

My disciples will come back in the spring, and you will have to vacate the place by then."

After hearing the other party's explanation of his intentions, Luo Yong felt relieved, thinking that the courtyard was empty at the moment.

It's also vacant, so they can live there if they want.

But, "Don't always come to this yard if you have nothing to do.

My sister is not married yet."

After all, Luo Yong was still on guard against these people.

He thought that if he could enter the city in two days, he would have to ask Xu Erlang and others to help him find out something.

Since Wang Dang could gather this group of brothers around him, he wanted to come to Dinghu County.

He should be somewhat famous, so it wouldn't be too difficult to find out.

After the matter was settled, Wang Dang and his brothers started working in the village.

They helped the villagers transport goods to the city.

A cart of goods only cost four cents, and the cart was a second-hand goods purchased in the village.

A few young men agreed to help a family push a stone mill for three days, and then the family gave them their old wheelbarrow.

Nowadays, people in Xipo Village have earned some money.

They can't afford a healthy ox at the moment.

Buying a donkey is not a big problem.

After all, it is a car that needs to be eliminated.

It is a good deal to exchange it for three days' work.

Speaking of donkeys, it is difficult to find suitable ones for a while, especially this winter, many noble people from Chang'an came to Lishi County, and the price of livestock has increased a lot.

At this moment, the villagers are all looking forward to the next spring when Zhao Chen can drive a group of donkeys over.

Luo Sanlang said that Zhao Chen should also send wool over next spring.

The journey lasted nearly three hours, and it took six hours to go back and forth.

A truckload of goods only cost four cents.

Many villagers were also excited.

Now every household has saved some money and food, and the villagers are not like before.

After hard work, for the four cents, you can bake more frozen tofu, and you can save a lot of money.

I just didn't quite trust these outsiders, so I was hesitant for a while.

The first one to eat crabs was the Shuang'er family, and Shuang'er's mother was also amused.

When she heard that Wang Dang's son was now in the Luo family's yard, Te Te even ran over and told Si Niang and the others that they must watch it that day.

Be careful, Wang Shao, don't let him run away.

So just like that, Shuang'er's father and mother loaded a large cart of goods onto the wheelbarrow.

They were originally worried that the other party would take too much, but those Dinghu people were not surprised at all and told them to just load it.

There was someone pulling the wheelbarrow in front, and there was someone behind.

It doesn't matter if the person pushing the cart can't see the road.

When the two people pushed and pulled the car out of the village, many people came out to watch the fun.

The children in the village even followed them all the way to the entrance of the village before being driven back by Luo Yong.

Recently, these things happened Because of the trouble, he was also a little nervous.

The children in his village were all in a semi-free-range state, so it would be too easy to attack them.

A few days later, Xu Erlang and others also inquired about news from Dinghu County, saying that Wang Dang, who is currently in Lishi, is indeed the boss of Dinghu.

Wang Dang was walking with his brothers recently.

In Lishi County, some businessmen traveling between the two places recognized several of him.

In addition, Wangdang's mother-in-law did have a miscarriage earlier, and her son sold himself off.

There are rumors in Dinghu County about these things.

As for the evaluation of Wang Dang, most of them are good, and they just say that he is a righteous man.

Occasionally, there are a few negative comments, and they say that he is a reckless man.

After finding out the origins of this king, Luo Yong could finally relax a bit.

He no longer had to act like an old hen and stare at his children all day long.

It is said that the business of those Dinghu men was really good.

Within a few days, the market was opened in Xipo Village, and the original one car became two, and then three.

Just because they are really able to endure hardships, they never have too much or too heavy goods to help people.

They work as usual on days with light wind and snow.

If some customers are really in urgent need, they are also willing to deliver goods on bad weather days, as long as more Just give me a few pennies.

How much goods were sent out and how much money was taken back were all calculated.

At the beginning, the villagers were afraid that they would misappropriate their money.

After a few cooperations, they gradually became relieved.

The character of these men is indeed not good. explain.

In the early December of the eighth year of Zhenguan, on this evening, several more Dinghu people came to Lishi County in the wind and snow.

The county officer saw that their clothes did not look like merchants, so he went up and asked them.

It is convenient to say that he is from Dinghu County and is going to Xipo Village to find Wang Dang.

"I originally came to see Boss Wang.

Xipo Village is nearly three hours away from here.

I'm afraid it's a little late now.

Why don't we go to Xu Erlang's house and ask."

A young officer said to them said.

This officer also made bamboo chains at home on weekdays.

A few days ago, when Wang Dang and the others went up the mountain to cut firewood, they saw some dianthus.

He picked out some big ones and cut a few of them and brought them to the city to sell.

The officer wanted to buy them, so he sold half of them.

Half-hearted.

After all, my brothers travel to and from Lishi County every day.

There is no harm in having a better relationship with these officers.

"Who is Xu Erlang?"

a man asked.

"Hey, Xu Erlang, he is a disciple of Luo Sanlang.

You, Boss Wang, are now living in Luo Sanlang's house in Xipo Village."

The officer picked at the few hairs on his chin and told the story of the relationship.

They reasoned.

When it comes to the relationship between Wang Dang and the Xu family, Luo Yong cannot be bypassed.

Since Wang Dang and others settled in Xipo Village, Luo Yong rarely went to the city.

Whatever goods he made here, he asked Wang Dang to take them directly to Xu Erlang in the city, and Xu Erlang shipped them directly.

They also asked them to bring the wool that needed to be dyed into the city.

The money for dyeing was paid directly from Xu Erlang.

Recently, he had collected a lot of money for goods.

When the weather improved, Luo Yong could find time to go to the city again.

The two disciples just calculated slowly.

Luo Yong's little things, but Wang Dang and others never collected money from him.

From time to time, they would go over and ask if they had anything to take to the city or if they had anything to buy.

Although the courtyard they live in now was built by Luo Yong's disciples, after all, it was Luo Yong's words that allowed them to live in it.

They didn't spend a penny on food and lived in it for nothing.

It didn't matter if they helped carry some things.

Wang Dang and his brothers, who often come and go, are getting closer and closer to the Xu family.

Besides, when the group of people went to the Xu family's courtyard, they were indeed warmly received by the owner of the family.

The originally narrow courtyard was forced to find two rooms for them to live in.

The heated kang was kept warm, and meals were cooked for them. , corn and wheat flour are all fine grains.

After sleeping in the open for several days, I finally arrived in Lishi County.

I was very nervous.

When I came to this stranger's house, I didn't expect to be treated so favorably.

Some people's eyes turned red on the spot.

They are the Dinghu people who can endure hardship the most.

They are used to the wind, snow and water of the Yellow River, but now this hot food is so hot that they shed tears.

"I see you are not in good health, how can you still wade in the wind and snow?"

Sister-in-law of the Xu family pulled out a few pieces of unburned charcoal from the stove, put them into a small bamboo heater, and handed them to the man with a sallow complexion.

The woman said: "Cover your belly with it."

"No matter how useful this is, the kang head will be very warm."

The woman has a girl on the left and a boy on the right.

The two babies are well raised.

She and Wang Dang are both serious people who can endure hardships and work hard.

If Wang Dang hadn't been captured and sent to hard labor in the past two years, and if he fell down again this year, he would have lived a good life.

However, this bad luck happened one after another.

"Why did you bring so many red dates here?"

At this time, the Xu family's sister-in-law also sat down on the edge of the kang.

Just now, these people also caught a lot of dates for their family.

She looked at the rag pockets.

They are all fake dates.

"My master asked someone to bring some copper coins back, and asked his brothers to bring some dates over.

I said they were needed for making cakes at my benefactor's house, and the dates here in Lishi are more expensive."

Sister-in-law Wang said.

"What's the price of dates over there in Dinghu?"

Sister-in-law Xu asked curiously.

"When the dates first came down from Qiuli Mountain, a bushel of dates was only the same price as a bushel of beans.

The picked ones were bought home and dried in the sun.

Now, they are the same price as corn."

Mrs.

Wang said with a smile. .

"Seriously."

Sister-in-law of the Xu family opened her eyes wide: "Here in Lishi, dried dates like this are priced at the same price as wheat."

"My boss told me that the dates here are expensive."

Sister-in-law Wang said.

"Although the dates in Dinghu are cheap, if I bring a cart of dates over to sell them, I may not be able to earn much.

If you bring some along the way, it will be a good deal."

Sister-in-law of the Xu family thought about it carefully, Said again.

"It would be cost-effective if we could transport things from Lishi to sell them and bring some dates back."

Sister-in-law Wang also said.

The two women, strangers to each other, sat on the fire bed and had a very good conversation, ranging from dates to grain, and from grain to the business of the city.

Sister-in-law Wang was very envious of the busy and prosperous life of the Xu family.

Speaking of her own family, she said: "People like me, the head of the family, often work as porters, but the work of porters is not always available.

If The weather is bad, there are fewer merchants coming and going, and there is very little work.

I am doing well as the head of the family, I am strong, and I have a lot of brothers to help me."

The author has something to say: By the way, some readers earlier thought that my article was too trivial, and said it was a study of urban life in the Tang Dynasty.

Hahaha, why does it sound so like a compliment to me?

I really like this.
