Conquer the world of the heavens

Chapter 300

PS: The third update is here, today's update is late, mainly because the plot concept is a bit difficult!Some Calvin!It is very difficult to write wonderfully!

Three days later, Wang Bin was studying when a visitor came to his home.

A middle-aged man about 30 years old, wearing a gray robe, walked in and said, "Zhou Ming, you are doing well!"

"All right!"

Wang Bin said: "It's just that my body is still a little weak, and I need to recuperate for a while!"

"That's right, you look good, and you're recovering well!" The middle-aged man said, "A few days ago, your daughter-in-law bought medicine at my Guo's pharmacy and owed money on credit. Look at the amount, isn't it?"

With that said, he took out a list of medicinal materials.

A middle-aged man named Guo Quan opened a pharmacy in Jinhua County. There were two large rooms in the front and back of the store. The business was booming. There were seven or eight assistants taking care of him. He was considered a wealthy family in the county.

Wang Bin took it over, looked at it carefully, then turned his head and asked Jiang Yue'er, "The list is right!"

"Wait a moment!"

After speaking, Jiang Yue'er took out a list, compared them carefully, and finally said: "Husband, the number is right! It's about five pennies!"

Guo Quan twirled his beard and said slowly, "Zhou Ming, it's almost Chinese New Year, and the accounts should be settled. Although the words are not pleasant, our pharmacy has to support our family, and your family should pay back the medicinal materials owed on credit!"

"It's time to pay it back!"

Wang Bin said, sighing in his heart.

Those who rob are not as good as those who open a pharmacy. Those who open a pharmacy are too ruthless.

Guo Quan said: "I think your family background is not good, and you are a scholar, so take care of you. The old man likes scholars the most. I only charge you four times and five times, and [-] yuan is exempted!"

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Guo!"

Jiang Yue'er thanked, took out the four pens and five pens at the back, and handed them to Guo Quan, her words were full of gratitude.

After Guo Quan collected the money, he talked and laughed a few more times before turning around and leaving.

"Shopkeeper Guo, you are such a good man!" Jiang Yueer said, "This time we saved five hundred dollars. Shopkeeper Guo is a kind person, and he often dispenses medicine to some poor people, and even waives some poor people's consultation fees... just Even the county magistrate praised him!"

As she spoke, Jiang Yue'er talked about the various benevolent deeds of shopkeeper Guo.

"Yue'er, you have been cheated, and you are still thanking people for being cheated!" Wang Bin said: "I calculated, I only need to spend [-] Wen for those colds, and they are cured; but when I get there Diagnosis and treatment, prescribing medicine, etc., have become five pennies!"

"The bandits robbed the door directly to grab the money; the shopkeeper Guo robbed it, but we took the initiative to send the money!"

As he said that, Wang Bin looked at the list of medicinal materials and was half-dead with anger.

When I first came to this world, I was tricked by a native.

There are several types of colds, some are wind-cold colds, some are heat-induced colds, and some are dyspepsia colds. There are many reasons for catching a cold.As long as the right medicine is prescribed, the effect will be seen immediately, and the effect may be seen in a few days.

However, in order to make more money, some people choose not to prescribe the right medicine and prolong the time of illness, so as to make more money;

Originally, a few simple medicinal materials could cure the disease, but I found some expensive medicines, but fortunately it was not easy.

Therefore, the disease that could be cured in a few days is still not cured after a month; the disease that could be cured a few tens of pennies ago has cost five pennies, which is equivalent to five thousand pennies, which is equivalent to 5000 yuan in later generations. .

So Zhou Ming died after a long illness, and Wang Bin came through time travel!

"A cold could be cured with a few dollars, but after spending thousands of dollars, it still didn't work out... What a profiteer and doctor!" Wang Bin said in his heart, "But such a profiteer and doctor have obtained He has earned the reputation of being kind and charitable, and being merciful!"

Thinking back to shopkeeper Guo, Wang Bin also admired him.

It is not difficult to be a bad person, but what is difficult is to be a bad person and be praised by the world as a good person, but it is even more difficult!
"How could this happen!" Jiang Yue'er said angrily after learning the details.

"Get used to it, Yue'er!" Wang Bin said: "This is the way of the world, killing people and setting fire to gold belts, repairing bridges and repairing roads without corpses!!"

"By the way, Yue'er, don't talk nonsense!"

Wang Bin warned again, if this girl goes outside and talks nonsense, it will be troublesome!

"I'm not a fool, so I won't talk nonsense!" Jiang Yue'er said.

Then, another person came in the afternoon, the uncle of the clan.

After being polite, the uncle said: "Zhou Ming, you have turned 15 and you are going to serve corvee!"

Wang Bin's heart couldn't help but sink, to hell with his uncle, this troublesome thing happened one after another, and it still keeps people alive.

Since ancient times, in addition to farming and paying taxes, farmers in successive dynasties have also served corvee.The so-called corvee, to put it bluntly, is to work for the imperial court for free for a period of time every year, which is used to build roads, water conservancy facilities, cities and palaces, etc.

During the period of corvee service, there is no wages at all, and they have to provide their own food and tools, and they have to take care of themselves for food, clothing, housing and transportation.Now the Great Zhou Dynasty stipulates that a male is considered an adult when he is crowned at the age of 15, and he is obliged to serve corvee, and Wang Bin is already 15 years old.

In the past, my father was a scholar, so he was exempted from corvee; it's just that after my father died, he also had to serve corvee!

In the previous life, when working on a construction site, at least enough to eat and drink, and meat to eat every meal. Only by eating well can workers work hard; , There are also various safety accidents. People often get sick and die of starvation and exhaustion in corvee.

Meng Jiangnu cried at the Great Wall, talking about her husband who died in corvee service.

His current body is extremely thin. He has just recovered from an illness, and now he is going to serve in corvee, so he might die in corvée.

"Uncle Clan, look at my body, can I go?" Wang Bin said.

"In the past, when your father was here, you naturally didn't need to serve corvee, but now...if you can pass the examination of scholar, you can be exempted from corvee!" The uncle said: "Now, you can only pay the exemption fee! At least five pennies !"

"Okay, I'll hand it over!"

Wang Bin gritted his teeth and said, for the sake of my life, let's pay it!

This is a huge sum of money, at least many civilians cannot afford it.

The clan uncle left, but Wang Bin thought of crying.

After going and coming, only [-] yuan was left!
In the peaceful and prosperous age, a bucket of rice was only fifteen yuan, but in today's world, a bucket of rice is three hundred yuan.Five hundred dollars can only buy [-] buckets.And a bucket of rice is about twelve catties.[-] buckets, about [-] catties of rice.

According to previous life statistics, the average person can consume a total of 1700 kcal of calories a day, which is equivalent to half a catty of rice, half a catty of meat, and about a catty of vegetables and fruits.Each person should eat at least one to two catties of grain every day.

If there is no oil, water, and meat, they will eat more rice.

If the food is less than one catty per day, and there is no meat, it is destined to be half-starved.

And this little food, Wang Bin and Jiang Yue'er can only eat for one month; if they eat more wild vegetables and save some food, two months is enough!
"It's really cheating, it looks like I'm going to starve to death!"

Wang Bin smiled wryly.

In his previous life, Zhu Ziqing starved to death without eating American flour.

And he seemed to end up starving to death too!
