Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 187 Cao's Salt Shop (4000 second change)
What is a professional?

That's called professionalism!
Ever since he asked Yu Ji to touch Zhu Lu's bones last time, Wu Liang had discovered Yu Ji's professional attributes.

As long as Wu Liang gives a general direction, this old boy can immediately say a lot of deep and compelling coquettish words, and what he said is so logical that even Wu Liang was stunned when he heard it. stunned.

In history, Cao Zhi wrote a poem in seven steps.

Wu Liang didn't doubt at all that this old boy could write a book in three steps!

Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that Yu Ji was able to become the god in the hearts of many generals in Wuhui in history. Just with this mouth full of lotus flowers, he is already an eternal god.

"cremation?"

After hearing Yu Ji's words, Wang Qing's face suddenly wrinkled again.

He naturally knew what cremation was all about. According to the archaeological records discovered by later generations, the custom of cremation was not uncommon as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was even a mainstream funeral form in a few places.

But at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this form of funeral was not so easy to accept.

That's why Wang Qing reacted like this when he heard the word "cremation".

He was against this funeral method from the bottom of his heart.

If someone made such a suggestion to him in normal times, he might turn his face to see off guests... Oh yes, this is not the Wang's Mansion, but the Wu's Mansion, so he can only leave angrily.

But now, Wu Liang, who was able to "slash the evil dragon with a sword", said that it was not appropriate to bury him again.

Yu Ji made this matter so mysterious that it even connected it with "God's will". Although Wang Qing still had some resistance in his heart, he was still willing to listen.

After all, these two people have no conflict of interest with him, and there is no reason to trick him into harming him.

"Exactly!"

Yu Ji nodded, and then said, "According to common sense, everyone should go to the earth to rest in peace after death. My son has already fulfilled half of his filial piety by burialing his father, and he still needs to be filial for three years before he can fulfill the other half of his filial piety. After this kind of thing, this matter can no longer be done according to common sense.”

"If the son wants to fulfill the other half of filial piety, he should obey the destiny and help his father to be reborn in Nirvana. In this way, his father's spirit in heaven can also bless his descendants with great blessings that will last forever."

"In addition, the young master can still collect the remains of the father after Nirvana, store them in the coffin, place them on the ancestral hall, and often lead the descendants to worship and worship. Only in this way can the son's filial piety be completed, and not only the father After death, you can still enjoy family happiness, and the affairs of future generations can also be conveyed to your father through worship, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

Having said that, Yu Ji stroked his beard again, and stood on the armrests, showing a detached and superior posture.

"Is...is that the only way?"

Although Wang Qing seemed a little shaken, he still couldn't make up his mind and showed a embarrassed expression.

"Humph!"

Seeing his reaction, Yu Ji lost his temper, snorted coldly, and said with displeasure on his face, "Since the young master can't trust me, why bother to call me here to waste my words, it's like talking to a duck! Patriarch forgive me, The old man has finished what he should say, whether this young master listens or not has nothing to do with the old man, but if such a thing happens in the future, please stop calling the old man, the old man is lazy to waste his tongue with these ignorant people, please leave!"

After being reprimanded together with Wu Liang, Yu Ji really showed a look of anger, flicked his sleeves and walked out of the living room with big strides.

"Old man, calm down! This prince doesn't know the old man's ability, and this matter is no small matter. It is reasonable to think about it."

Wu Liang hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and persuaded him with a smiling face.

"Hmph! As the saying goes, different ways do not conspire with each other. The Patriarch does not need to say too much. From now on, the old man will only speak for the Patriarch. There is no need to come to the old man for other people's affairs!"

Yu Ji still insisted on walking out with a dark face, even Wu Liang couldn't hold him back.

"Stop, old man! Young Master Wang's family has just suffered such a catastrophe. I still have some friendship with Young Master Wang. At this time, it is more important to help him tide over the difficulties. Can the old man give me some face?"

Wu Liang hastily persuaded him again.

"The poor person must have something to hate. Since this person is stubborn, this is the good fortune of him and his family. Why should the Patriarch interfere forcibly? In the end, he may end up as a human being inside and out!"

On the contrary, Yu Ji became more and more energetic, flicking his sleeves vigorously, even shaking Wu Liang a few times.

pass!

You have passed, old boy!
Didn't I tell you to put it away? !
Why the hell are you improvising again? It's just a play. Is it necessary to be so excited?

Wu Liang is also convinced, this old boy is not good at this point, every time before acting, he is told to put it down, but this guy uses too much force every time, last time he almost fooled him into the bridal chamber with Zhu Lu , This time he quickly dragged him out of the living room.

Also at this time.

"Please forgive me, old man. I know that the talented and virtuous brother and the old man are sincerely helping me, so how dare you question the old man's words."

Wang Qing finally ran over and saluted Ji respectfully, bowed his eyebrows pleasingly and said, "Forget it, the matter has come to this point, I don't have anything to think about, I just ask the old gentleman to give me some pointers to help me complete my father's task." The cremation will be reported afterwards."

Wang Qing finally figured it out, but he wasn't fooled by Wu Liang and Yu Ji.

Not to mention whether what Yu Ji said is true, he is not a fool, in fact, he can also foresee that even if he gives his father another lavish burial, I am afraid that it will not be able to prevent the end of being dug up by thieves... What's more, this is completely royal family. tolerance range.

It's just that living in this era, his thinking has already formed a fixed pattern, and he really can't think of or dare to think of other ways.

And what Yu Ji said.

Undoubtedly, it gave him a huge step, and gave him an extra reliance and excuse when making a decision, at least a lot more psychologically.

This is in accordance with God's will.

This action can help the father to pass away from Nirvana, and can also protect the safety of the descendants.

To him, to the Wang family, and to outsiders, it was a reasonable explanation.

That's enough...

Therefore, this decision is actually not difficult to make, as long as you have passed the hurdle in your heart.

"Look, old man, I just said that Mr. Wang is not a stubborn person, so the old man will help him this time for my sake, right?"

Wu Liang finally grabbed Yu Ji, winked and smiled at him.

In the end, I didn't expect Yu Ji to be wrong, and turned around, still reluctantly said: "Since you have expressed your opinion, and the Patriarch insists on this old man to help you, this old man reluctantly made an exception, but this time This matter is no small matter, if you want to help your father to be reborn in Nirvana, you still need to do a ceremony to worship the heaven and earth, but the cost of this ceremony is not something ordinary people can afford..."

"???"

Wu Liang was taken aback for a moment.

Conscience of heaven and earth, he really never thought of cheating money from Wang Qing this time, it was purely because the folks in the village took care of him a little bit, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and he might be able to help at any time in the future.

Anyway, it's just a little effort.

Just remind Wang Qing not to continue to insist on giving his father a generous burial, not to mention ruining the family fortune, and making the old man feel uneasy.

It's a pity that Yu Ji has long been a habitual offender, so he got on the road as soon as he was familiar with the road.

Fortunately, Wu Liang's reaction was fast enough. Before Yu Ji could finish speaking, he put his arms around Wang Qing's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu Nian, don't worry, I haven't come to visit and mourn your father's death, so the cost of this ritual will be paid by me." To bear it can be regarded as a dedication to your father."

"How can this be done? It must not be done!"

Wang Qing is not a person who likes to take advantage, he shook his head repeatedly and said to Ji Gongshou, "Mr., you can tell me how much you need to spend. Although my Wang family is not rich at the moment, it still has some wealth."

"A hundred catties of gold should be enough."

Yu Ji still didn't understand what Wu Liang was thinking, so he opened his mouth and said according to Zhu Lu's standard.

"..."

Wang Qing suddenly lost his voice.

Wu Liang looked at Wang Qing rather helplessly: "Brother Yu Nian, brother Yu Nian, you said that I gave you a step down like this, why do you have to be so strong on me?"
Can't get off stage this time?

"Brother Yu Nian, the deceased is the most important thing. It is important to deal with your father's affairs first, and it will not be too late to discuss issues such as expenses in the future."

After all, Wu Liang found another step for Wang Qing, then turned to Ji and said, "Mr., you can take care of this matter. If you need to prepare anything, come to me directly. Prince Wang's home has just been robbed. There are many matters to be resolved urgently at this moment, and I am afraid that I may not be able to get away for the time being."

"In this case, the old man should obey his orders."

Yu Ji was a little surprised. He didn't know what Wu Liang meant, but he didn't say much.

"Then... I would like to thank you talented and virtuous brother, I will remember the kindness of today in my heart!"

Wang Qinggang's face turned pale at the moment, but he was also short of breath, so he had no choice but to give a wry smile, and bowed to Wu Liang to thank him.

……

The cremation ceremony of Wang Qing's father took only two days.

Whether it was the theft of the tomb or the cremation ceremony, Wang Qing did not announce it to the outside world, and it was done quietly with only his family members.

After all, it is not good to publicize any of these two things, and it is easy to provoke criticism.

As for spending Wu Liang's money on this matter, Yu Ji was naturally very measured, and kept everything as simple as possible, and the total cost did not exceed the New Year's Eve dinner at Wu Liang's family.

As a result, on the second day after the cremation ceremony, Wang Qing came to the Wu Mansion again.

This time he was not in a hurry, he learned that Wu Liang was "teaching" the maidservant Thyme in the room, and he didn't ask anyone to report, but went to the living room to wait patiently.

So this time, Dian Wei didn't tie him up, and asked someone to pour him some tea.

It was near noon again when Wu Liang came out of the room.

In the past two days, he taught Thyme the law of free fall and Newton's three laws. Thyme is an extremely hardworking and talented girl. Even though these theories are very advanced, she has gradually gotten into the door. Based on these theorems, she can always, Suddenly, a few inferences came out that surprised Wu Liang.

Wu Liang was very pleased to see Thyme's growth and progress...

Then someone came to report that Wang Qing was waiting in the living room, so Wu Liang stretched his waist and went to the living room.

"A talented and virtuous brother."

Seeing Wu Liang, Wang Qing immediately stood up and saluted.

"Brother Yu Nian, why did you come to see me today?"

Wu Liang asked with a smile.

"Brother talented and virtuous, please accept these two things."

Wang Qing did not say any more polite words, and directly took out two bronze metal plates from his arms, and handed them to Wu Liang with a solemn expression.

"Brother Yu Nian, you are..."

Wu Liang looked at the two metal plaques in his hand that were shaped like tokens, and asked in surprise.

In fact, through the two large characters and a few rows of small characters engraved on the metal plate, he has roughly guessed what it is - a city ticket!
That is, the business certificate issued by the imperial court is similar to the business license of later generations.

In fact, most businesses in this era do not need market certificates, as long as they can withstand the oppression and exploitation of local tyrants and government officials, but some businesses that receive the attention of the court are different, such as: salt, iron, etc. hard currency.

Therefore, this should be two coupons of the Salt Bank!
The business license of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, this thing is obviously of archaeological value, and there are very few archaeological discoveries in later generations...

"There is no precedent for the Wang family to fail to repay their debts. This time, thanks to the help of my virtuous brother, we got through this difficult time. Unfortunately, the gold that my virtuous brother paid in advance will definitely not be available to the Wang family for a while, and I can't think of any other way. I have no choice but to pledge the remaining two salt shops to Xiandi to repay the debt, please accept it."

Wang Qing smiled wryly and said, "As for the favor owed to my virtuous brother, if it is useful for the Wang family in the future, my virtuous brother can ask for it, and the Wang family will fully satisfy it."

"How did this happen? Brother Yu Nian doesn't know anything. I don't know anything about how to run this business. I'm afraid the salt shop won't be able to operate for a few days if it's handed over to me."

Wu Liang shook his head again and again, although he said so, he didn't return the two city coupons immediately.

Because when he saw them, Wu Liang suddenly thought of another way to transform "tomb robbery" into "archaeology". In this way, the two-pronged approach with the "grand farming system" will definitely double the confidence.

Moreover, he now looks at Wang Qing differently, thinking that he is a good friend.

Of course, only a small Wang family can't eat this big cake, and he needs to borrow some strength from other aspects.

"You are a talented brother, you are joking. You have mastered the unique method of making snowflake salt. With this magic method, why do you need any management methods? Even if you can't mass-produce snowflake salt, my dear brother, you can still make a lot of money. If you can Produced in batches, it’s no problem for a good brother to be as rich as an enemy!"

Wang Qing made no secret of the envy on his face, shook his head and smiled.

"How can it be that simple?"

Wu Liang smiled, but suddenly moved closer, looked into Wang Qing's eyes and asked seriously, "Brother Yu Nian, if I am willing to hand over this unique magic method of snowflake salt to you, how do you plan to manage it?"

"pass it to me?"

Wang Qing was stunned for a moment.

Previously, Wang Qing had dreamed of obtaining Wu Liang's unique method of snowflake salt, but when Wu Liang suddenly revealed his meaning, he was a little at a loss.

This thing is no small matter, if it is used properly, the fate of the entire Wang family will be changed!

Wu Liang is really willing to hand over the unique magic method of Snowflake Salt to himself?
Wang Qing couldn't believe it was true.

"That's right! But your salt shop has to change its name, why not call it 'Cao's Salt Shop' from now on?"

Wu Liang smiled.
