Making money, taking exams, and raising a family in rural imperial examinations

Perhaps modern people see the current Daji Dynasty as backward and feudal, but in the eyes of other foreign people at this time, the Daji Dynasty is a representative of strength and wealth.

Compared with other barbaric foreign countries, they still stay in the tribe, many resources are scarce, and their lives are in danger. Doing business in the Daji Dynasty is their only chance to live a good life.

Because the Daji Dynasty was prosperous, the people were rich and generous, so at the same time, in the eyes of most Nanyang merchants, the people of the Daji Dynasty who could not speak their language were fat sheep, and they slaughtered each one they encountered.

For someone like Lin Ze who actually picks up dying slaves to buy, he is even more of a fool to deliver them to his door.

Seeing that Lin Ze was better dressed and looked better than the people in the surrounding villages, several Nanyang businessmen looked at each other, and immediately opened their mouths unceremoniously,

"@#￥@#￥, 50 taels!"

He said a bunch of incomprehensible words in the front, but the price in the back was spoken in the language of the Great Ji Dynasty.

In fact, these Nanyang merchants don’t really know the language here. After all, they are begging the people of Daji Dynasty to do business. First of all, they have to learn the language before they dare to come here. The reason for doing this is to use the language barrier to bargain. That's all.

Those who can afford to buy Nanyang slaves are all wealthy lords, and they will not lose face by arguing with someone who can't understand for a few dozen taels of silver. As long as it doesn't exceed too much, they can accept it.

50 taels Lin Ze could afford it, but it was obviously deceiving him and he couldn't easily nod.

In fact, the so-called Nanyang slaves are just expensive because they are rare. Compared with the slaves of the Daji Dynasty, they are not bad, and they are better trained. The price of general slaves is only 30 taels of sky at most. These people really dare Speak to him.

After carefully identifying the language accents of the Nanyang people in front of him, and then recalling the first few Westerners who appeared in the Celestial Dynasty, Lin Ze reckoned that the language spoken by these people was very similar to Latin.

Latin is considered a small language in modern times, so he doesn't understand it if he hasn't studied it professionally, but he remembers going to the Vatican once when he was doing foreign trade, and Latin is the official language that is still used there until modern times.

In ancient times, Latin was the aristocratic language in the West at that time. In fact, it is simply like the differences in dialects caused by different regions on the Tianchao side. For example, people in the capital city all speak Jingqiang.

Lin Ze doesn't know the specific language, but he used to go out on business trips to learn a few sentences of local everyday language. Saying hello to customers is a necessary means of communication. Familiar language always makes people feel kind and more sincere.

The Nanyang man staring at the lion's big mouth pondered for a while.

Lin Ze bit the bullet and tried tentatively in his heart, but he frowned calmly and showed an unhappy sneer,

"50 taels? Huh, [email protected]#$#@!"

The translation of the second half of the chattering language is actually 'sorry' and 'goodbye'.

This sentence is translated into vernacular: 50 taels?Humph, sorry goodbye!

For very simple everyday words, Lin Ze can only say a few sentences, but simple words combined with different expressions and tones give people another effect.

It was a bit strange to spit out a familiar language, but the Nanyang merchants understood it.

This is their language, or their aristocratic language.

Almost instantly, the eyes of several Nanyang businessmen widened and their expressions changed.

In Nanyang, the class gap is more rigorous and terrifying than in Daji. To put it simply, those with a slightly higher level than those with a lower level can have the power of life and death directly. Not only is the life of a slave worthless, anyway People at the bottom are struggling.

These few Nanyang people doing business are also aristocrats in their homeland. They are not nobles and have no materials and manpower to run out, but they are just minor aristocrats.

However, what Lin Ze said can only be said by a real nobleman. Even if it is a bit strange and wrong, but the words are correct, which proves that the other party must have learned from their natives, and he is still the real nobleman. kind!

"@#￥￥#@￥......"

Several Nanyang merchants immediately made a gesture of bowing and respectful and said something, with frightened and flattering expressions.

Lin Ze can't understand the chattering, but it doesn't matter, we can't pretend to be good at listening.

He pointed to Chris on the ground, and continued to maintain an angry and cold expression. He stood with his hands behind his back, and his horsepower was fully open to exude aura.

Sure enough, the faces of several Nanyang businessmen became more panicked. Seeing Lin Ze's expression, those who lacked concentration felt a little sweaty on their foreheads.

"My lord, please calm down. We offended you because of our lack of eyesight. Please forgive me. This slave is about to die. If you like it, there are strong and beautiful ones. You can choose whatever you want, and I will honor you..."

Anyway, they are all tribal war slaves, and it doesn't cost much money to send two casually, which is better than offending the adults in front of them.

They are not afraid of Lin Ze, but they are afraid that the "Nanyang nobleman" that Lin Ze knows will offend the friends of the great nobleman, and they will file a complaint later.

With just a few words, the attitudes of the Nanyang merchants changed drastically, and He Xiangfeng and other villagers were stunned from afar.

Lin Ze didn't expect to really scare these people, he was relieved, and he had to keep his appearance as a master and teach him a lesson.

"Since you have come to Daji, please abide by the rules of the Daji Dynasty. Don't treat others as fools and anger our Majesty and close the frontier Haikou. In the future, you will go back and wait to bear the anger of your lord Pope!"

Ordinary ordinary people know very little about Nanyang, and they don't know what kind of nobility there is, the king and the pope.

Those who know these are the high officials in the court, and they only heard a little bit because they met the Nanyang nobles, but they are not very clear, I only know that they are called emperors instead of emperors, but kings and queens.

It can be said that almost no one in Daji knows the title of the Pope, because Nanyang people generally do not speak out about the worship of the Pope and the cover-up of the strength of their own country and tribe.

At this moment, when they heard Lin Ze directly addressing the pope's anger instead of the king's anger, everyone's faces turned pale.

The pope is their supreme ruling authority, this person actually knows, what does this mean?It shows that the Nanyang nobles contacted by the other party are definitely the center of political power!

"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life..."

Several Nanyang businessmen were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and begged for mercy in non-standard Daji language.

Lin Ze was also taken aback by this, he just thought it was just a matter of pulling something to fool people, who knew that he accidentally bumped into a few people and directly scared them to their knees, but just right, it’s easier to deal with panic.

"Forget it, our Daji Dynasty treats people generously. You just need to remember what you said, so as not to damage the diplomatic relations in the future. This slave with a broken leg is very persistent, I like it very much, and I want this, this, and these slaves." , They all look like they haven't been trained. I have to work hard to teach them myself. They don't understand the language and they are useless except for work. I'll count them as twelve, do you have any comments?"

The few slaves selected by Lin Ze, except for Chris with a broken leg, are all sturdy and strong, and they cost at least 20 taels in the market.

Now selling 10 taels is not a loss, but it is not profitable, but how can a few Nanyang businessmen dare to say no?

The Daji people in front of them could not only speak their aristocratic language, but they even knew the Pope. They began to offend His Majesty, and he was willing to pay for slaves without caring about it. This is already magnanimous.

"Thank you for your generosity, sir...%%￥#@￥%￥@#!"

Several people nodded quickly, finished speaking to Lin Ze, and then yelled at the slaves.

Lin Ze didn't know what he was talking about, but when he saw the faces of those slaves showing fear and resignation, they quickly resigned to their fate and showed decadence. He walked up to him and knelt on his knees in the way of bowing down to his master, and he knew that the matter was over up.

"En." Lin Ze nodded in satisfaction, and then handed the silver to the Nanyang merchant, and by the way, said the last sentence of Latin he knew.

"%#@@$#[email protected]..." Good luck.

Immediately, several Nanyang people were moved by this high-end greeting from the nobles, and were completely confused.

It is so lucky to be able to hear the language that can only be used by such great nobles, oh, God must bless them.

Lin Ze smiled and slapped his butt and took the slave away without hesitation.

The main reason is that he knows how to say those three words, and if he continues to communicate with these people, he will reveal his secrets. At that time, no matter how pretending his aura is, he will be exposed...

The surrounding villagers have been dumbfounded for a long time, and their admiration for scholars has once again been raised to a higher level.

He Xiangfeng was also dumbfounded, but he always felt that it was not the case. Based on his understanding of Lin Ze, he suspected... those Nanyang businessmen might have been fooled.

Sure enough, when he returned to his residence, he arranged for the slaves to be locked up in the woodshed first, and he couldn't help asking curiously.

Lin Ze's inscrutable expression immediately disappeared, and turned into a ruined image of pouring water on his chest,

"Brother He, you think highly of me. How can I understand their Nanyang bird language? I know those three sentences. Fortunately, those Nanyang people are not smart, otherwise I can't pretend. NND told them to cheat Me, I wrote down this account for them, and I will deal with them slowly in the future..."

After seeing the attitudes of several Nanyang businessmen, Lin Ze decided to change his normal business transaction plan with Nanyang people.

According to the attitude of these people, the normal transaction is to send meat to the other party for cutting, and after the cutting, the other party will laugh at you as stupid, he can't send it to your door to be a pig.

Looking at Lin Ze's expression of contemplating bad ideas.

He Xiangfeng chose to shut up silently. He felt that it wasn't that his brain was not bright, but that Lin Ze was too good at pretending...

**************************

Originally, Lin Ze wanted to find a few Nanyang people to establish a long-term cooperative business relationship.

But looking at the current situation, he feels that this plan will not work. There are some things that you treat with courtesy, but others do not necessarily return with courtesy. In order to avoid any troubles of being forced and helpless in the future, the source of goods must be firmly in his own hands. .

It is not uncommon for the supply of goods to increase in price, and the initiative is very important.

Thinking this way, Lin Ze immediately changed his plan. That night, he asked the village doctor to treat the wound of the Nanyang slave with a leg injury to stabilize his condition, and then took him to the room alone to talk.

Well, it's talking, but it's actually gestures. He can't speak Nanyang dialect, and the Nanyang slaves can't speak the language of the Great Ji Dynasty. The communication barrier can only be guessed.

Fortunately, Lin Ze brought a pen and ink with him, and used drawings if he couldn't make gestures. Even Guessing Meng finally made things clear to Chris.

Chris is the Nanyang slave who hurt his leg. The reason why he was able to confirm the name of the other party so prepared is because Latin is somewhat similar to English. English is actually derived and simplified from Latin later, so the name is easy to guess.

From the other party's gestures, Lin Ze also roughly understands the identity of this Chris. The other party should be a small country, or even a tribe. Because the tribe was defeated, they became captive slaves and were brought to the Daji Dynasty for sale. .

But the other party is not a slave in the sky, he used to be a soldier and warrior, and he still has a wife and children alive, so of course he refused to accept his fate in his bones, and wanted to go home.

Of course, the latter is not what Chris said. How dare a slave tell his master that he still wants to go home.

The latter is guessed by Lin Ze himself. As a man, if he is in Chris’s situation, he will definitely miss his lover and children, and try his best to survive and get them back.

And when talking about his family, the emotion in Chris' eyes is obvious, and he can't hide it at all.

This kind of courage is good, and only those who are worried about it should grasp it.

Without saying a word, Lin Ze gestured to the other party for a while, and then drew a few sketches on the paper.

It probably means, "If you listen to me well and do things for me, I will heal your injuries and let you go back to your hometown to find your wife and children."

Chris couldn't understand what he said, but the pictures were easy to understand.

Tears welled up in the other party's eyes, and he knelt down on the ground propping up his injured leg, bowed to Lin Ze a few times, and then said something.

"￥#@￥￥#%@..."

A language barrier is like speaking with a duck.

Of course, Lin Ze couldn't understand what Chris said, but Chris's body language was also easy to understand.

He was not worried that Chris would lie to help the Nanyang businessman to lie to him, because Chris was a prisoner of war, and he could only say that he was a Westerner with those Nanyang people, not his own, and even had a deep hatred for the country.

Moreover, as a slave, Chris's contract of prostitution is in his hands, and he is in a foreign country and unfamiliar with the place. If he dares to disobey his master, Chris will only end up dead.

So if you don't want to die, obedience is the smartest choice.

Of course, just in case, if there are too many words, Lin Ze will naturally not tell the other party now. He only uses gestures and drawings to tell Chris that the first task is to buy the current Nanyang merchants at normal prices. Coffee and cocoa beans.

This task is not difficult, and there is nothing special about it. Chris only thought that Lin Ze liked to drink these, wanted to buy them but was worried about being tricked by Nanyang merchants, so he asked him to do it.

When he was in his hometown, he often heard people say that the Great Ji Dynasty was a country rich in products and rich, and that things could be sold at high prices if they were brought there.

He also understands now that Lin Ze doesn't understand Nanyang language at all, and he was fooling those Nanyang businessmen before.

Now that Lin Ze is the master, even if Chris knew it, he would not be stupid to tell those people. After all, those people made him wait to die. Lin Ze was saving his life. Lin Ze was his hope. Can return home to find his wife and children.

After formalizing his identity, Chris was as excited as if he had been pumped.

The next morning, he ran to the Nanyang businessman to negotiate with the Nanyang merchant with the crutch Lin Ze temporarily made for him.

The merchants were still wondering what Lin Ze's identity was, and they were very afraid. After Chris showed that his new owner was interested in Nanyang food and wanted to buy a few kinds of Nanyang beans, he ordered them immediately without any hesitation. head.

Naturally, he did not dare to overcharge the price, and honestly sold according to the cost, and did not dare to make a profit, for fear of offending the adults again, and the reputation of Nanyang merchants cheating people spread to the ears of His Majesty Daji, and they will come again in the future Daji will no longer be able to do business.

After some negotiations, these Nanyang merchants sold all the Nanyang beans on the ship to Lin Ze at a low price.

The coffee and cocoa beans are [-] catties each, which is the combined amount of several Nanyang merchants.

The price is 10 Wen per catty. In fact, it is much cheaper in Nanyang, but the cost of transporting it from such a distant place is very high, so the 10 Wen is also the cost price.

According to the daily selling price, it is usually 50 yuan a catty, which is a full 5 times the price.

Although people in Daji are not used to drinking these things, coffee is refreshing and appetizing, and cocoa beans have a sedative effect, so there are still a small number of people in Daji who will buy them, and there are some strange flavors they like.

This made the little old man in Hebian Village who always liked to drink coffee and cocoa almost pissed off, calling the Nanyang businessman a cheater!

You must know that the little old man bought it at a price of 60 renminbi a catty in previous years, which is 10 renminbi more expensive than the market price. It is not easy for people in the countryside to make money. Only flowers can afford to drink.

Now that he knew that he had been cheated miserably, the little old man was angry, and immediately went to Lizheng to ask him to increase the price of grain sold to Nanyang merchants by 2 cents, vowing to vent his anger to relieve his bleeding heart.

"The old man of the Xiao family is one of the elders in our village..."

Li Zheng explained to Lin Ze with a smile.

It was only then that Lin Ze realized that the eccentric old man was still a clan elder. He really didn't see it, because the little old man really didn't look like a serious elder at all.

"Thank you for your help. If there are any Nanyang merchant ships docking in the future, please leave a notice for me."

After buying the things, Lin Ze thanked the villagers. Trouble is helping to pay attention to the next batch of passing Nanyang boarding, and he is going to take things back.

[-] catties of coffee and cocoa beans are quite a lot, and the number of ox carts and donkey carts in Hebian Village is simply not enough.

Originally, Lin Ze planned to wait for Lizheng to go to the neighboring village to help borrow a car, and leave later, but just after the Nanyang merchant ship left, another merchant ship passed by Hebian Village the next day, and now they can take a SF Express boat .

This merchant ship belonged to the people of Daji Dynasty. The owner of the merchant ship was a merchant in his 50s, and the other party's surname was Han.

Actually speaking of the merchant, Lin Ze felt that the other party was more like an educated scholar with an indescribable aura about him. I don't know how to describe it, but it must be special anyway.

Even the servants and bodyguards around the other party have a special smell.

But it was just a ride on someone else's boat. They didn't need to explore too much, and Lin Ze didn't think too much about it, and had a gentle friendship.

On the contrary, Mr. Han was very surprised when he saw the goods they bought.

"If the old man is not mistaken, this seems to be Nanyang beans from Nanyang people, right? This bean is not popular in Daji, and the price is not cheap. How dare you buy so many?"

Other ordinary people may only know the existence of Nanyang beans, but businessmen who have been dealing with business all the year round are very familiar with it.

Lin Ze was not surprised that the other party guessed it based on the taste alone. Seeing that Master Han was interested, he was also very patient in talking to the other party. He just needed to make more friends with these running businessmen.

"Master Han has a good nose. This is indeed Nanyang beans. Nanyang beans were not popular in the past, but it will be different in the future. Today, I took your merchant ship with Master Han. If you don't mind, when you go here for business again in the second half of the year , Come to Nanyang Town, I guarantee that Master Han can earn a lot of money and go home."

"Oh, is this true?"

"Lin never tells lies. Anyway, Mr. Han will be on his way. You will know when you see the goods. Besides, the business is not about benevolence and righteousness. Let's make friends. Maybe there will be other opportunities for cooperation in the future? Let's Isn’t what a businessman pays attention to is making friends with the world, all over the world.”

Lin Ze is very active in making friends.

Looking at Mr. Han's demeanor and attire, he doesn't look like a trotting merchant. The merchants who can own a merchant ship all have rich family background and extensive contacts. If they can get online, their things will not worry about selling in the future.

Before the chocolate is produced in large quantities, he plans to make it a high-end luxury product.

However, Master Han was not in a hurry to agree, he smiled and stroked his beard to change the subject.

"We are businessmen? Mr. Lin is self-deprecating. Just now, the old man heard many villagers calling you Mr. and Lang Guan. Mr. Lin is an official, right? If you do business in such an upright way, you are not afraid that the old man will sue you. "

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and all the dynasties on Daji's side are clearly distinguished.

Lin Ze was taken aback for a moment, then shamelessly retorted back in a joke,

"This business belongs to my husband. My husband just gave birth and it's inconvenient to come out. Why not take a trip for my husband? Besides... Mr. Han said so, isn't he afraid that Lin will also record it in high school in the future?" You a sum?"

Master Han laughed twice when he heard the words, and said,

"You are very confident. Are you the one who takes the imperial examination? There are tens of thousands of talented scholars and scholars from all over the country in each imperial examination. It is so difficult to stand out from the crowd. Moreover, if there are dishonest examiners, your poor children will be even more helpless." Day, and although this old man is a lowly businessman, he has a lot of wealth and has friends with countless nobles. Just a box of gold bars can make you never recover, how dare you bear the old man's revenge?"

"Is that so... Then Master Han, you can just give me the gold bars. Once we've lost all our grievances, we shouldn't take advantage of outsiders."

"When did the old man become a family with you?"

"We are all brothers in the four seas, and the radius of Kyushu is one family. Isn't it what we are now?"

Lin Ze smiled and poured a glass of wine, expressing the intention of friendship.

*************************

Lin Ze is used to being a good hand at dealing with people. As long as he is willing, making friends is so easy, just be cheeky.

Although Master Han in front of him didn't know the details, it didn't matter. He just wanted to do business with the other party.

If they can make friends, there will be a stable market for chocolates outside, otherwise, the remote and small places in Qingshan County will not be able to sell at the ideal price.

"You are really acquainted, the old man has seen it."

Master Han smiled and said that he obviously has a good sense of him, and he meant to deal with him.

But this person always speaks with an official accent and goes around.

Lin Ze could only take the initiative to get to the point, "Then Master Han is willing to do business with my family?"

"Don't worry, I haven't seen anything. How can you make me believe that I'm making a lot of money? It will take a lot of time and energy for the old man to go around Qingshan County, but you're right. We are all brothers, let’s make friends first.”

This master Han is a person who is very good at Tai Chi, and he will follow up in a few words.

It is rare for Lin Ze to meet an opponent, and he is very interested.

"Then since we are friends, why didn't Master Han declare his family name? Mr. Lin said it when he got on the boat. You can't be stingy. You don't want to pay the price if you just want me."

Master Han smiled again when he heard the words, "That's right, Mr. Han's family is from the Zhao clan in Beijing, but Mr. Han is a collateral descendant of his mother's clan, and he is just a small running businessman, so it's not worth mentioning."

"The Zhao Clan in Beijing, but the Zhao Clan of the Imperial Merchant?"

Lin Ze's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that he was so lucky that he would bump into a golden thigh casually, even if it was a collateral branch, he should not be underestimated.

"I didn't expect Lin Langguan to know a lot about businessmen, which makes people look at him differently..."

Master Han was also surprised by Lin Ze's immediate reaction.

The Zhao Family Royal Merchant is indeed famous, it is not difficult to know, but people who are not in the same industry rarely pay attention to these things, not to mention the remote places like Qingshan County, the Zhao Family Royal Merchant's shop has not opened, and the news of this era is closed, according to common sense Ordinary people do not know.

But it is not normal for Lin Ze to react so quickly as a scholar, unless the other party has spent research on business.

"My husband is in business and often deals with various merchants. I will naturally know it through my ears and eyes. Besides, if we and other poor children really keep our ears shut and only read sage books, I'm afraid we will starve to death." It's..."

Lin Ze made nonsense without changing his face.

When Master Han heard this, his face suddenly became serious, "Nonsense, the imperial court allocates huge sums of money to well-known scholars from all over the world every year, and distributes rice free of tax. How can there be any saying that scholars will starve to death."

"Why not? Master Han, it's not surprising that you were born into a rich family and didn't know the suffering of common people."

The most helpless thing for Lin Ze is the stubborn temper of the ancients. He thought that Master Han would not have these problems because he knew more about business all the year round, but it turned out that he couldn't avoid it.

"Although the imperial court is generous to Confucian scholars such as us, it allocates a huge amount of silver and tax-free distribution of endowment rice every year to take care of it, but we don't say anything clearly. How much money is left in the specific place, and how much endowment rice can the famous people get? I know..."

"Furthermore, studying and studying is a waste of money. Ordinary people almost have to work hard from the whole family to support a scholar. Master Han also said that it is difficult to test for fame. If the students are just studying before passing the test, they will not care about production. How can the family be peaceful in the long run? Who is responsible for the responsibility of the wife and children?"

"So those of us poor children naturally have to do our best to make a living in our spare time. My husband is not knowledgeable enough, and he is a younger brother. He will inevitably be deceived when doing business. I will help a couple of times. Over time, business matters will become easier." Knowing too much, it’s a joke, it’s degrading.”

"Why are you laughing at me? What Lin Langguan said makes sense, after all, the court has nothing to do..."

Master Han didn't dig into the horns, he stroked his beard and sighed.

Lin Ze's eyelids twitched when he said this, and he thought to himself that this guy is even fiercer than him. All the outrageous things he said were done in front of his own people. How dare this guy say such things outside? Do he trust him too much? Trust him?

Regardless of whether people believe him or not, in short, he will not be so stupid as to say that the court is wrong outside, because he is full and panicking.

Lin Ze immediately stated that he was prudish,

"Master Han, what you said is wrong. Exploitation has been inevitable since ancient times. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. In fact, our dynasty is already very good. Although the rice I receive every year does not meet the regulations. The number, but it is not too much, and His Majesty governs the country well, and everyone is satisfied with the stability and prosperity of today's life."

Master Han narrowed his eyes, "Officer Lin Lang really thinks so?"

"Of course, my Lin family has been farming for generations. Without the protection of the imperial court, how can we live a stable and prosperous life? On the contrary, Mr. Han saw the Nanyang slaves I bought. They are all local prisoners of war and live in danger all year round. life, and now the tribe has been exterminated and has become a slave..."

"Compared with this, Lin is very grateful. He has no regrets in this life, and he will be a Daji person in the next life!"

Lin Ze had a serious expression, and he didn't want to throw money away for his words of praise for loyalty.

"Lin Lang is highly enlightened, this old man is ashamed..."

Master Han bowed his hands to admit his mistake, but he seemed very happy by looking at his expression.

Lin Ze felt that the old man was really strange and didn't want to talk about these sensitive topics, so he changed the subject while pouring wine,

"Let's not talk about that, I only have so much literature and ink in my stomach, and I have finished showing off. Mr. Han has been in business all year round, so he must have seen a lot of customs, why don't you tell me..."

"Okay, little friend want to hear about that place?"

"Tangzhou, I see the porcelain boxes on your ship. It seems that you just bought porcelain from Tangzhou. Let's talk about Tangzhou. The hometown of porcelain is very exciting."

Lin Ze glanced at the cargo boxes on the ship and said casually.

Master Han nodded, opened his mouth with a smile and began to tell about the customs of Tangzhou...

During the next boat trip, the two of them talked about local customs and customs, and they didn't say any sensitive words.

Lin Ze is good at communication. He has been in the workplace and society for many years before traveling. With the advanced knowledge and experience of modern society, it is far more than the number of people of the same age in this era. He has never met anyone or dealt with anyone.

This Master Han seems to be casual, but if he tastes it carefully, he may be suspicious of his words. Whether it is a coincidence or overthinking, he must be vigilant and leeway for this kind of new acquaintance, after all, he has no idea about the truth of the person.

And there is another very important doubt, that is, Master Han said that he is a trotter, but the other party does not look like a trotter at all.

Let’s not talk about temperament, let’s just talk about this appearance. With ancient vehicles, people who do business all the year round must have experienced wind and rain, and the appearance is naturally a little rough, but this Mr. Han has a white face and beard. The little runners are gone.

Lin Ze can believe that the other party is a merchant, because the master Han in the conversation really knows the way of doing business quite well.

But he doesn't believe that the other party is really an ordinary merchant, because of the difference in temperament and image, he suspects that the other party is likely to be a member of the half-merchant and half-official family. If the other party is really a member of the Zhao family's imperial merchant, it must be an insider.

Regardless of that, anyway, this Master Han is ready to deal with him, and the other party seems to be someone who has connections and connections, and resources should not be wasted!

It takes about 2 hours to sail from Heba Village to Nanyang Town.

During this period of time, Lin Ze and Master Han kept chatting non-stop. From the south to the north, from the rivers to the sea, there was no topic they couldn't talk about. Naturally, hidden confrontations were unavoidable during the period.

But generally speaking, it is still harmonious and happy, and it feels like a confidant.

It is rare for Lin Ze to meet someone who can keep talking to him and is in a good mood.

The backwardness of the times has led to the lack of knowledge of most ancient people, and Qingshan County is even more backward. Although it feels good to pretend to be forced every time others don't understand me, but after a long time, it will inevitably give birth to a sense of loneliness that is "too high to be cold".

And those who are well-informed and able to talk about things are old men with more rigid ideas. They will quarrel because of different ideas and ideas before they can say a few words, and it is almost impossible to communicate.

If it weren't for Ah Yu and the new baby, and the warmth of his family, Lin Ze felt that he would definitely be depressed. The feeling of being detached from the times for a long time is actually very uncomfortable.

But this Mr. Han is different. He has good knowledge and profound knowledge. The most important thing is that although the other party is a bit old-fashioned, it is not serious. He is quite humorous and can make jokes.

If you exclude the fact that this old guy always likes to talk to him, he is a good friend who forgets the years.

On the other hand, Master Han has a very good sense of Lin Ze.

He asked himself that he was well-learned and knowledgeable because of his identity and age, but Lin Ze was able to see so much at a young age, and he was able to talk to him about everything in the world, which was really amazing People are surprised.

Even if Lin Ze read it from the book, and heard it from the wandering merchants passing by, how many books would it take to read?Ask how many people can accumulate it?

What's even more commendable is that Lin Ze has his own unique views and analysis on problems and everything, which is refreshing.

Have a beautiful heart, learn from the past and learn from the present.

Master Han couldn't help but give Lin Ze a very high evaluation.

If this comment gets out, I don't know how many people in the capital will be shocked. It's unbelievable.

And if Lin Ze knew...
