Chapter 46:

46
"We still need them? Say that we will take a private tour of Weifu today, let's buy it ourselves. Hey, there are bamboo baskets over there, let's buy a vegetable basket."
The Prince was too late to speak, Paner went there, he could only follow.
Zhang Laishun led cattails after him.
There are people everywhere. As the crown prince, the crown prince rarely has such a close distance with his biological parents. When there are too many people, the taste will be mixed, earthy, bloody, and chicken and duck. He took out a piece of parchment and half covered his nose, trying to avoid people walking past.
By the time he passed, Pan'er had been so anxious that he could not stop thinking about it.
The old man who sells hand-made bamboo baskets looks at the skin color and dress from the nearby countryside. He has very good craftsmanship, and there are various large and small bamboo baskets in front of him. The small ones are only as big as a palm, but the big ones can fit into a person.
Paner first picked up a vegetable basket suitable for shopping. Looking at it, the small baskets were very cute and the colors were bright, red, green, blue, and purple. They were used for flowers or needles. very good.
She liked it when she looked at it, and it was not bad when she looked at it. She grabbed several hands and asked the old man for the price.
"Small five texts, big ten texts, buy five small ones, you can send another small one, and the big one can't be delivered." I can't tell, this old man is pretty good at doing business.
Immediately, Pan Er was stunned by such a cheap price.
Let her calculate that one or two pieces of silver can be exchanged for more than nine hundred copper coins, which means that you can buy more than ninety for large ones, and two hundred for small ones. Can there be two hundred goods in this stall?
She looked roughly, that is to say, she could not sell one or two silvers in a stall.
"Old man, is it cheap to sell this thing for you? Is it a bit too cheap?"
The old man glanced at her with a strange look, but still smiled: "There is nothing cost-effective, but it is made up for sale in the winter leisure and supplemented the household. The colors on this basket are all used by us It was dyed in the rural soil, and it looked monotonous, but it did not fade. These rattan were cut from the mountains, and it was worthless, that is, a waste of effort. "
Good and honest people!
Pan'er thought she had bought too much, and now she decided to buy it. She subconsciously wanted to get the silver, only to find that she didn't bring any silver at all, and turned to look for cattails. Who knows that she did not see cattails, but she saw the prince.
"Master, did you bring silver?"
The prince's face was slightly stiff. He was also the master who never had silver on his body. Even if he rewarded people, Fulu was still with him.
There was an embarrassment belonging to the nobles when they looked at each other.
Fortunately, Zhang Laisun brought the cattails quickly, Paner saw the cattails and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Cattails usually followed her, and she always had to carry a few purse purses, she must have silver. Sure enough, cattail is almighty. He took a few purses out of his arms and a silver dumpling for rewarding people.
These silver dumplings are made in-house. In order for the nobles to hold decent, they are either in the shape of melon seeds and peanuts, or made into zodiac shoutao or something. Even if this thing is given to the old man, the old man dare to harvest it.
During the crisis, Zhang Laisun came to the rescue.
Zhang Laishun once again admired his brains enough, no wonder that his godfather picked him as the son of the eunuchs.
In Pan'er cattails' comforting eyes, Zhang Laishun took out a silver horn and gave it to the old man. He felt the Highness of His Royal Highness admiring his head, and immediately felt that his life was complete.
"How to give silver, this half of the morning, I haven't done any business and have no money to find it." The old man picked up the silver and was a bit messy.
"No need to look for it, it should be rewarded to you." Zhang Laishun said very generously.
As soon as the voice fell, Paner's disapproved eyes ushered in, Zhang Laishun's anger was suddenly relieved. He didn't dare to see the prince, for he was afraid he was stupid.
Speaking well, you can take out the routine words in the palace.
Pan'er covered his mouth and smiled, stuffed the baskets in his arms, and left.
Haven't forgotten to pull the prince.
Zhang Laishun scratched his head and followed his head. Cattail laughed beside her. She had always been afraid of the eunuchs around His Royal Highness, but now she found that these people were actually no different from them, and sometimes she was stupid.
Paner went to buy mutton, and also bought some mutton, and some other avocados to go with it. I planned to go back and make a pot of mutton soup, and I could burn mutton to eat.
Zhang Laishun was a clever one. Before he left, he took another basket and the old man didn't care about him collecting money. Now he has set up the messy small baskets one by one, put them in the back basket, and there are still a lot of places for buying vegetables.
This incident made Paner brazenly praise him, because as she slowly moved forward, she bought more and more things. It was impossible to count on her and Cattail, and neither of them had the energy. The Prince didn't have to think about it, the only thing he could use was Zhang Laishun.
Paner stopped in front of a stall selling eggs.
"This egg is good. You can see that the white color is pink, and it looks fresh at the first sight." Paner said to the prince.
The Prince is not good at this. Anyway, since entering the market, he has been silent, watching Paner enter the river like a fish, spreading joy everywhere, watching this and wanting to buy it.
He didn't know that Pan'er appeared to be from a well, and actually had a court career in the past few decades. He was also curious about the so-called folk and the excitement of long-term reunion.
The prince did not accept the cavity, but the hawker selling the eggs did.
"The big lady's vision is so good. These eggs have just been laid recently these days. I collected all the eggs in our village and sold them while they were fresh."
auzw.com Pan'er smiled and groaned, choosing eggs with him: "You always do business, but you also know that all the eggs in the village are collected and sold. You keep a few Chicken, is the egg laid enough for the family to eat? How many eggs does this egg make, can it make money? "" How many chickens can be raised at home, but there are only a dozen left, and chickens lay fewer eggs in winter, and the price is higher than in summer. " Some of them are reluctant to eat and sell them. They can also exchange needles and brains for the mother-in-law in the house. If you buy two eggs for an egg, if you buy more, I will count you for three. You can rest assured that this whole My eggs are the freshest and largest on the market. "
The prince followed him all the way and always felt that Pan'er had a lot more words than usual, and when I looked carefully, I found that what she sometimes said was very meaningful.
As at this time, only through a few conversations, the farmer's family situation and the situation in his village were made clear.
Even eggs are reluctant to eat, presumably the family is not good, but it should not be bad, did not see that old farmer smiled?
But two eggs for one egg is really cheap. I don't know what to think, the prince's face became a little strange, and Paner was still talking to the old farmer.
"Two articles are not expensive, but how many articles are sold in summer? Is it less than two?"
"You can't put eggs in the summer, and you have a lot of chickens, so they sell cheaply. You can sell two or three articles, one for each article."
"That's really cheap."
During the talk, the eggs were already bought, and Paner didn't dare to buy more. I only bought more than thirty. I was afraid that Zhang Laishun would not be easy to pick them up, and they were all broken after returning.
The old farmer was thoughtful, and he gave them some straw, saying that they would pad the eggs so that they would not break.
Paner took a few steps forward, only to find that the prince hadn't followed him. Looking back, he looked weird and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Sanye?"
"Buy it? Let's go."
"what happened to you?"
The prince shook his head and said nothing.
@Finity 好 文, all in Jinjiang Literature City
In fact, he was thinking of a year when Prince Gong was embarrassed due to illness, and the errand of the Ministry of Internal Affairs let him have a while. He had read the account book that was handed down below, and he remembered that the egg contained one hundred and fifty words. @Finity 好 文, all in Jinjiang Literature City
The prince is not too ignorant of practice. I just remember that there is a small Liangyuan in Guangdong Palace. There are ten eggs in a daily sample. Such concubines are everywhere in the palace. How much does it cost each day? How much does it cost each month? In the palace, you have to spend a lot of money on eggs alone.
He thought the eggs were too expensive.
I remember the told him at the time that the chickens laying the eggs were fed with fine grain rice, drank the mountain spring water, and ate the best food. In order to replenish the noble people, they also had to feed them daily. Other herbs are not the same, so this is the price.
At that time, he didn't think too much, just when that was the case. Nowadays, one egg in this market is only one or two pennies. Ordinary people have picked it out from their mouths, and only think of four words—Minzhimin.
Of course, the prince also thought about corruption in the palace. Historically, there have been some slaves in the palace who deceived and cheated. They couldn't help it. The internal affairs house had hidden dirt, and he had heard about it, but there was nothing like that. This time it made him feel more shocked.
The price of an egg dared to increase more than a hundred times, what about the others?
The prince had a sense of coldness, and the road flashed in front of him. Those local officials were extravagant for banquets and hospitality, as well as those antique calligraphy and paintings presented.
One Zhixian Zhiluo is only more than seventy two years old, and a fourth-grade Zhifu mandala is only three hundred and two years old, but they can send a pair of calligraphy and paintings worth thousands of dollars.
Where does silver come from?
But it's still Minzhimin.
Looking at this market, most of them are filled with smiling faces, and the Prince suddenly felt a sense of no taste, like standing naked on the street.
Therefore, next, he seemed strangely silent.
Pan'er observed all this, and suddenly remembered that after Jianping Emperor had ascended the throne, he vigorously rectified the corruption in the House of Internal Affairs, so it was considered a good idea.
But at the same time, she also thought that after Jianping Emperor ascended the throne, because of violent rectification of corrupt officials, she was rarely criticized for being cruel and merciless. Historically, the most murderous people in the world are the literati, and it is also this group of people who are in officialdom, so it is up to them.
When Jianping Emperor was young, his reputation was not good. Later, he gradually got older and his methods became smoother and more tolerant. All this gradually improved.
Because of this affair, the food market naturally cannot go on. But things were almost bought, and the party went back.
Paner smiled and said to the prince, "Actually, ordinary people in the south have a good life. The place is rich, and even the people have a good life. With two seasons of rice a year, they can harvest twice, just like the old farmer, also When I came out to do small business to supplement my family during the leisure time, one year's harvest and these bits and pieces were enough to chew. "She deliberately opened him up.
"Two season rice?"
"The first season is in March, with small summer harvest, and the second season is in summer, with October. However, it is said that it can only be done in a warm climate. The north cannot grow, so I heard that the people of the south live longer than the north The people are much better. "
The prince was lost in thought.
All this was something he had never contacted before. How did the people make a living? Naturally, it is farming, but he doesn't know how to plant it. He only knows that the people planted the fields and paid heavy taxes and taxes. The court only paid taxes, and these things came to his eyes in numbers.
How did these numbers change, and why do they occasionally increase and occasionally decrease? The following report comes from a certain year's drought and flood. Only the above is used—oh, it's time for tax exemption.
However, I have never thought about why there are harvests in some places, failures in some places, why failures, what are the reasons, and how can there be remedies?
Before today, the Prince was confident that he would be a good emperor if he ascended the throne in the future. But now he hesitates. He has learned to be rich in five cars, and he has learned many things.
But at the same time he was also thankful because his discovery was early and there was still a chance for remedy.
He suddenly felt that this dish was bought well today, and he could buy more food later.
