Chapter 23 Anyang County
Xie Qian has a lot of popular science, and except for a few things that cannot be mentioned, the others are very detailed. In each item, Wu He can find similar points in what happened there was no real information, it still benefited Wu He a lot.
If it had been in the past, the Wu family class would have left Sangzhong Town and headed for the nearest village at this time. However, this time Wu He and Wu Shen were both injured, so everyone planned to go home to rest first before setting off. , and by the way, put the huge sum of money back home first.
Xie Qian had no objection to this. After all, the mission had been completed. The token belonging to Liang Zhi on his body had been broken. It was estimated that the one at the headquarters had also been broken.
This mission has ended, so even if he goes back early, nothing big will happen.
Of course, part of the reason was that he really didn't want to ask for directions along the way.
Anyang is a county town located in a slightly difficult location in Wuyang County in the north. It is also one of the places Wu Jiaban passed by on his route.
Anyway, one of the stops on the Wu family's journey was Anyang. It was just a ten-day and a half-month wait, which was not a big deal.
……
Just like that, ten days and a half month passed...
Although Liang Zhi came to deceive Wu Jiaban into being blood food, he was really rich when he was rich.
On Liang Bo's body and in the Liang family compound, everyone in the Wu family class found dozens of taels of silver and some strange materials.
No one in the Wu family class knew those materials, but Xie Qian did. These are good things needed for martial arts training. Of course, these things cannot be used directly. They must be specially processed, such as being made into medicinal porridge, or Make elixirs.
Liang Zhi should have prepared it for himself. After all, he had suffered a lot when he only practiced evil arts and his body was still just that of an ordinary having zombies to protect you is of no use. If the zombies are blocked and the spells cannot be used, you will still be a loser, and you will have to strengthen your own strength.
It was probably just to buy these materials. Otherwise, as a villain who once brought trouble to a county, he should have a few hundred taels of silver in his hands no matter how bad he was.
After all, even if we don't talk about burning, killing and looting, after all, Liang Zhi was also the child of a wealthy businessman in the past. The assets obtained by killing his whole family should not be a small amount.
As for money, Xie Qian didn't take these silver coins, which were not enough for his two and a half months' salary. This was without going on a mission, and he would only earn more if he went on a mission.
Moreover, this mission was just a bargain. Wu He, controlled by Liang Zhi, was already exhausted and couldn't use the Pulse Technique, so he was a complete loser.
Just from such a task, he could earn the equivalent of 1000 taels of items when he went back, and he wouldn't have to compete with the Wu family class for this small amount of silver.
But these medicinal materials are different.
Regarding this, Wu Shen, who had woken up at that time, was also very discerning, and directly offered all the medicinal materials, and as a result, they were given to Xie Qian.
Xie Qian was also happy to agree. Looking at his wretched expression, you could tell that the thing might not be worth much, but it would definitely be of great help to him.
It is precisely because I said before that I would escort them all the that they will not be suppressed by thieves and the government in the future, and they will even introduce customers to them.
This promise can be said to be quite strong. If all the officials in the area from Sangzhong Town to Anyang can recognize Xie Qian's face, the value will probably be no less than a few hundred taels of , the customers Xie Qian knows will definitely not be ordinary people, and the income will definitely not be less when the time comes.
In the past few years alone, the old man Wu Sheng had gone through dozens of towns along the way. Wu Sheng calculated that the total expenditure in these years was not less than a hundred taels of silver, which accounted for their total income. more than half.
In the past, this kind of money couldn't be saved, but now that Xie Qian is backing him, he can't save all, the King of Hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with, but you may come into contact with more upper-class people, and your chances of survival may become better and better in the future...
So until he arrived in Anyang and parted ways with Xie Qian, Wu He's grandfather Wu Shen was sighing that there are still many good people in the world, which made Wu He speechless for a while...
……
The main reason why they arrived at Wujiaban Anyang so fast this time was because they did not spend time performing in any village, nor did they follow their past itinerary and avoid roads where thieves might be present.
Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to reach Anyang from Sangzhong Town in less than one month, or even two months.
But after all, if it weren't for Wu Sheng's desire to come to Anyang this time, I'm afraid the old man wouldn't have even come out of this door.
After all, 80 taels of silver, that's 80 taels of silver. This amount of money is enough for them to get out of the pitiful life of an actor who has never been valued by anyone.
Actors are also called actors. There are three religions and nine streams in the world. Not to mention the three religions, among the nine streams, officials are the highest, farmers are the middle, merchants and slaves are the lowest, and actors are the lowest.
If one's place of birth falls into the official "lower status", one cannot farm, buy land, join the army, take the imperial examination, or even marry a commoner.
Even beggars and hooligans have a higher status than actors.
The women in the clan can only serve as concubines, and the men have no future.
To compare it with something related to the past life, the Pipa girl in "Pipa Xing" who was able to marry a merchant woman was actually very lucky from the perspective of status.
Wu Hefa's grandfather, Wu Shen, didn't understand why the family was restricted to such an extent. He only heard from his elders that his ancestors had made some has been like this for a hundred years, and even the entire family and even he are used to it.
However, this kind of thing that weighed down the whole old Wu family in the past was just a trivial matter in the face of money. In the past, it was just because there was no money.
As long as he holds Xie Qian's certificate, spends money, and spends money on connections, even if his generation cannot escape from the "low status", after Wu He and Wu Yan and Wu Yu get married and have children, future generations will naturally be able to return. A line of good people.
When the time comes to accumulate some family property and buy a few acres of fertile land, even if you can't turn over and become a small landowner or a rich farmer, then in a few years, let the children at home go to school and take the provincial examination, and a child or even a scholar is born in the family, then The status of their family is completely different from before...
……
Time moves forward two steps again...
Walking out of a wealthy family's home, the recovered old man Wu Shen and the eldest man of the family smiled and held hands.
"Not bad, not bad. The children were happy to hear it, and they ate all the incense candles on the table. This is a good thing. It is the children who are blessing my Liu family..."
Hearing the vibrato in Mr. Liu's voice across from him, Wu Cheng, the smiling old man, quickly lowered his head and said modestly:
"It should be, it should be, this is the old man's duty."
In response, Mr. Liu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a smile on his face: "Master Wu, if you pass by here again in the future, you must come to our Liu house for a sip of tea."
With that said, Mr. Liu waved his hand, summoned the servants, and said with a smile:
"Teacher Wu, please keep the 20 taels of silver agreed upon."
Looking at the 20 taels of silver brought up by the servant on the side, the old man Wu's old face turned into a chrysanthemum smile.
"Oh, thank you for the reward, Mr. Liu! Don't worry, Mr. Liu, as long as there is still life in the future, as long as someone can take the lead, our Wu family class will come over as soon as possible no matter where they are..."
The so-called Master Liu was a wealthy businessman in Anyang County. At the same time, his family also had a Liang Cai local official who served in Anyang has a high status among Anyang County.
But few people know that today, 20 years later, few people know that in addition to the current Liang Cai official, Mr. Liu, who is nearly [-] this year, actually had four Liang Cai in his family.
Those are Master Liu's three sons and one daughter.
Poor literary and rich martial arts means that the family has a little money, so Mr. Liu allows his children to study literature and martial arts. However, because the children at home are more inclined to practice martial arts than to study literature, and Mr. Liu is also very open-minded, this allows several Everyone went to the dangerous Demon Slayer Department for assessment.
And a few people lived up to expectations, even the youngest daughter was so lively.
That was the time when Mr. Liu was most proud.
But something unexpected happened. On that day 20 years ago, many people died during the plague. The countryside was even more unsightly, with corpses everywhere.
That was when his four children were ordered to stop the evil Liang Zhi.
That day, his little daughter came to him with her child in her arms and entrusted it to her father. The reason was that the child's father was dead and died in the hands of Liang Zhi, who also died. Liangcai local official.
At that time, Master Liu's daughter was already one month pregnant...
In the end, none of the four children survived...
And in the end, only the shriveled and mutilated bodies of the two sons were recovered, while the bones of the daughter and son-in-law were not left...
On that day, Mr. Liu, who had always been very heroic and did not look like a 40-year-old man, almost grew old overnight...
Today, the Wu family troupe went to the Liu family to sing opera. It was Xie Qian who introduced them through matchmaking. He also knew those local officials and had a relationship with Mr. Liu, so he had this introduction.
Naturally, the Wu family troupe sang for those four children, and the money was also given to those four children.
If it weren't for the fact that the old man Wu Cheng refused to take so much money in one go, the Wu family would probably have left with hundreds of taels of silver on this trip.
A few hundred taels of silver is really difficult to express the gratitude of Mr. Zhao, and Wu Sheng feels he can afford it. After all, the Wu family has suffered a lot for this.
But with such a huge sum of money, the old man was really afraid that his little carriage wouldn't be able to carry it...
