Chapter two hundred and fortieth: Even if they meet, they should not know(1/2)
Li Shimin was furious, so he was extremely strong.
Cheng Yaojin was also anxious, holding Li Shimin's neck with both hands, and refused to let go at all.
Zhang Gongjin, Li Jing and others behind were also panicked, some pressing Li Shimin's arm, and some pressing his upper arm tightly.
The prince... actually went to be a beggar...
Everyone knows that he is going to return it to him...
This suddenly reminds people of the few beggars I saw outside the Buddhist temple just now. Everyone was wondering at that time, how could it be so easy... the beggars could actually write.
Looking back now, the handwriting really has a bit of the charm of Li Chengqian's handwriting.
Of course... when I was watching it, no one thought about it.
After all, no matter how smart a person is, he cannot open his mind to such an extent.
But now... I'm enlightened.
Everything is explained.
only……
Become a beggar and both parents died?
Li Shimin's face was very red.
He didn't make a sound because he couldn't afford to lose this person. He just wanted to take the sword immediately and cut off the guy not far away.
Cheng Yaojin and others were even more arrogant and dared not speak out. They knew that this was a royal secret matter and could not make it public.
So at this time everyone was holding their breath. He wanted to draw the sword, others wanted to stop them, and they were all powerful men who fought on the battlefield, but in the process, there was no sound.
It was like a silent drama on stage, and it was obvious that everyone had extremely rich emotions on their faces. Some were angry, some were terrified, and some were frightened and dumbfounded.
But... it's just that there is no sound effect.
Li Shimin's chest was already ups and downs, and the masters fought, especially with one-on-three or four people, he was already unable to meet his strength.
Chen Zhengtai was also a little panicked at this time and whispered: "Mr., think about it more..."
Li Shimin immediately looked back at Chen Zhengtai, and Chen Zhengtai stopped talking immediately.
Chen Zhengtai didn't expect this situation.
He had thought about countless possibilities, but he thought about it for a long time, but he never expected that his grandson would become a beggar.
It's no wonder why the people she sent took so many days to find the prince no matter what.
I think every person who searched secretly did not expect that the unkempt beggar on the street would have any connection with Li Chengqian.
Li Shimin couldn't draw the sword and was furious. He turned around and wanted to pick up the teacup on the desk.
But I found that... Zhang Qian's reaction was very alert and had taken away the teacup.
It was placed before him, nothing was left.
On the other hand, many scholars laughed when they heard that a beggar had scrambled in, and everyone looked at Li Chengqian with interest.
Li Chengqian was not shy at all.
So much so that Deng Jian also raised his head from his selfless reading, and he vaguely felt that Li Chengqian was familiar with him.
However, Li Chengqian had already been much tanned, and the clothes he wore today were inappropriate. No matter how you look at it, it was different from the person Deng Jian imagined.
At this time, a scholar said, "What are you doing here as a beggar?"
"Come on a business... Haven't you all changed books here? I have come up with an idea... You don't have to have such trouble, and you'll be rushing here all day long. I have people on hand. You want to read books. If you don't want to go out, or if there is any inconvenience when going out, just go out and find any stalls here, and just say what books you want to read, I will have someone run errands to send your book to your home."
When everyone heard this, they were a little confused.
Let someone run errands?
In fact... letting people run errands is the patent of those aristocratic races. After all, there are many servants. If you say hello, countless servants will serve them.
But the scholars who come and go here... in a sense, they are actually considered to be a poor family, or... a poor and grass-roots man like Deng Jian.
They belong to the emerging class that appeared in Erpigou. They can not only read and write, but also have a job. The salary in Erpigou is pretty good, which can barely allow them to have a certain amount of savings.
Although he doesn’t have much savings, Erpigou’s encouragement for studying can make those who are determined to pursue their tireless ideals of studying.
They have no servants.
To some extent, their time cannot be wasted.
This is actually understandable. After all, you need to work and study, work, study, and go back and forth. I don’t know how much time I wasted on this journey.
Moreover, there are many people studying in Erpigou. Now it is time to start working, and the seats are almost full. Once it is time to get off work, countless people will come here.
Everyone was crowded here and sweating profusely, but they still couldn't stop the enthusiasm for knowledge.
Chen Zhengtai allocated the desires of those who were not qualified to study in this world, and once the box of desire was opened, it could not be taken back.
But when Li Chengqian said this, the scholar laughed: "If I want to study at home... I have to go find you first? Then I might as well come to this school directly."
But Li Chengqian smiled at him: "Then I'll ask you, where are you living in?"
The scholar was stunned and seemed a little alert. Of course, he would not foolishly report to his home, but deliberately said: "Living in Xingtangfang."
"Which street in Xingtangfang?"
"Sui'an Street."
“Which number?”
"this……"
"You roughly say one."
“Between thirty-five and forty.”
"This is easy..." Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Is it right? From 35 to 40, is there a blind man who tells fortunes? Not far from the blind man... These days, two beggars, one old and one young, are they sitting there, right?"
This scholar was stunned...
Li Chengqian continued: "What do you need? Go out and turn left and walk thirty-five cloth, and you can see these two beggars. They will be there no matter the sun and rain. If you give them instructions, the little beggar will greet people nearby and get things done. You can not only let someone pick up books or change them, but even if you have any other instructions, such as letting someone know when they go to the carriage and horses, want to hire a car, or give someone a message."
"In short... as long as you can think of the place, the old beggar will write down your affairs, and the little beggar will be responsible for running for you. Don't worry... At the beginning of my life, although there were only dozens of stalls, in the future... I plan to expand to a hundred. In this street and alley, you only need to spend a few copper coins and you can do anything for you."
The body of the scholar shook, and the eyes that appeared in his eyes were completely different, and there was obviously a little more seriousness!
Because Li Chengqian...is really right.
Near his house... it seems that two beggars have appeared recently.
Suddenly, someone exploded, and someone couldn't help but say, "My home is there in Taipingfang... Is there any?"
Li Chengqian said without much thought: "There are two stalls in Taipingfang, one is Zhenxing Street and the other is Hongye Street. They are both in conspicuous positions. You can see it after walking a few steps. Don't worry... Our little beggars are not only fast-legged, but also clean. Don't look at them in ragged clothes, but in fact they are asked to wash the clothes every day, and they also ask them to bathe in the river every day."
"Are there people working here? When you are working, you have been working for five hours. You are hungry halfway through and want to buy food near the workshop. I am afraid the price is not expensive. But if you go home to eat, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. The worker... can also work with us for a long time. Your wife in your family makes a fire and cooks the food box, seals the food box. She only needs to go out and take a few steps and hand it over to the beggars under my head, and they will guarantee to send it to your workshop within half an hour."
Li Chengqian was afraid that others would not understand, so he explained in detail: "Don't worry, we have manpower. As for you, you don't have to spend too much money to eat outside. The food at home is both cheap and delicious. And it's just made by the family. You don't have to take the food to the workshop early in the morning. When it's noon, it's already cold."
"Our beggars... I will be trained and will never go wrong. If something goes wrong, I will naturally compensate according to the price. This is a mutual benefit..."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
But... what Li Chengqian said did hit them in the vital light.
Erpigou is not as scattered as other places. People in other places... are very casual and are still in a pastoral and pastoral society. Everyone is poor, but no matter how much effort they spend, they have no output, so everyone is lazy and has no idea of much time.
However, Erpigou has many workshops, and hire workers everywhere. For the boss and shopkeeper, although they will pay a higher salary than other places, they are not doing good deeds. Naturally, they will not allow you to walk around or do other idle things. Whether you eat in the workshop or even go to the toilet, you will be pinched to you tightly and will never give you any time.
For many people who are motivated, in addition to working and physically and mentally exhausted, they also need to study. At the end of the day, this time cannot be delayed for a moment.
The current generation runners provided by Li Chengqian, to some extent, are actually precisely their weakness.
Not only that... there is indeed a problem with eating. The price of cooking at home is always cheaper. No matter how cheap you eat, not only will you not be satisfied with what you eat, but there will always be a lot of premiums. They are not rich people, and they have free time. What kind of delicacies do you eat when you go to a restaurant?
People in the Tang Dynasty originally had two meals, one in the morning, one in the evening, and one in the afternoon, and eat something for a while.
But soon, this form was broken.
Because people find that... after work... they are particularly prone to hunger. After all, after a lot of work, if they don't eat more at noon, their bodies will not be able to bear it.
At this time, we encountered a problem. If the wife prepares the meal early in the morning and takes it for lunch, when it is cold, eating the raw and cold food will easily ruin your stomach. When it is hot, the food will easily become bad. Go to the workshop to buy it... The price is inevitably expensive and may not be good.
If someone really runs errands, it's completely different. The women cook the meal in the morning, put it in the food box, and deliver it to everyone after half an hour. Unless there is an extreme situation, the meal can still maintain the remaining warm and fresh food.
This moment... even Deng Jian was cheered up, and many poor scholars began to move in their hearts.
If so, how much trouble can you save?
"It's just how much does it cost for you to run errands?" Someone asked something that many people want to ask the most!
Li Chengqian was happy: "Don't worry, the price is acceptable to everyone. Giving books is more expensive. Starting with one penny, then adding it according to the distance. For example, those who live in Xingtangfang will probably cost five pennies."
People who can study... of course, don't be polite. The price is high, so they can afford to pay some money.
Li Chengqian continued: "But if you deliver food, the price will be lower. As long as the distance is not too remote, you can't buy a squid at a time. Now, you can't buy a half steamed cake. If you want to have delicious food, you can't get it without twenty cents. In this way, let the woman make it at home and then spend squids to you, the price will be much cheaper."
Everyone began to think about it. Three cents... It's really nothing to the employees in Erpigou. Now, after a month, who can't make a consistent amount of money for a month?
If you have some skills or have a long experience, it is possible to have two or three chunks of money. This little money is really affordable.
To be continued...
