In the evening, after dinner, Chen Yue went to Chen Fu and asked for a remote courtyard where debris was stored. Chen Fu asked a few questions, but Chen Yue only said that it was for Chen En to use after he recovered from his illness. In fact, this is a bit against the rules. Chen En has not officially signed any deed with the Chen family so far. Even if he signed it, he cannot first designate a separate yard for him at home without doing anything. Many people in the Chen family Those who have been in charge for ten or twenty years can only go out and find a house by themselves. If they want to live here when the accounts are closed at the end of the year, they can just arrange a wing room. However, strictly speaking, the place Chen Yue wanted was not the inner courtyard of the Chen family. The Chen family occupied a large area and there was a lot of free space. It was Chen Yue who asked, so he stopped asking and took out the key. , and even specially ordered two workers to pack things with him.
After Chen Yue thanked him, he led two workers to pack his things. This courtyard was specially chosen by him in the afternoon. It was not far from his residence and outside the big wall of Chen's family. There was only a small door. It seems that it was probably sold when the previous neighboring family moved out.
The yard is not big and there are three low rooms. It will not take long to clean it up. Chen Yue asked people to carry away the useless things. They could also use firewood and the like, but most of them were damp and difficult to use. So he simply went to his house to bring some suitable charcoal, and then asked the two of them to find someone to get some barrels. The water tank came, and after finally picking up the missing items and gathering all the things that were roughly needed, Xian'er led the hired idle men back carrying a bunch of purchased things.
Chen Yue and two workers picked up the things, sent a few people away, and worked for a while before finally taking a breath.
The three of them each sat on a small horse, drinking the water brought by Xian'er in their hands, and chatting casually for a few words.
The two workers, one named Luo Liang and the other Gong Fu, had both worked for the Chen family for five or six years and were considered trustworthy. Chen Yue saw that they were diligent and thought about whether he should bring them over to take care of him. Take a look at this small wine shop. After all, after the Lantern Festival these days, he still has to do homework.
And at present, there is no need for professional talents in wine making, as long as he can do the work he has arranged. Anyway, what he sells will not be wine. Not to mention that the southerners in the Song Dynasty were accustomed to the taste of low-alcohol fruit wine, he brewed A high-altitude wine may not be able to compete in the market. Let¡¯s talk about the price in the wine market. An ordinary wine can be sold for tens of cents. Even some famous wines are still expensive if they are not aged for many years. It is obviously unrealistic to quickly accumulate wealth by selling wine.
"Master, Brother Luo and Brother Gong are here. Why don't we all listen to the class together now if you tell me the story you promised to tell me before?"
Xian'er's voice interrupted Chen Yue's thoughts. He turned around and smiled: "Brother Luo and Brother Gong may not be willing to listen. It's getting late. You two should go back first. Come back tomorrow if you have anything to do. .¡±
In fact, Luo Liang and Gong Fu really wanted to finish work and go back early. Didn't they see that the sky was already dark? Besides, they don¡¯t think they can understand the stories told by literati. It¡¯s just a waste of time here.
But when I heard what Chen Yue said, I didn't know whether he was telling the truth or a lie. Although the reputation of this fifth young master has taken a sharp turn recently, everyone who has been in contact with him, old or young, all said that he is the fifth brother. It was as if the children had changed. They had a feeling of spring breeze just now. The fifth young master did all the work with them personally, unlike some people who were just a small steward who could only point fingers at the side. I don't even bother to move my head.
But they are all people who have worked for the Chen family for many years. They are all aware of this young master¡¯s former reputation. Who dares to take the risk of offending him now?
"It is a blessing for us to listen to the young master's teachings. How can we not want to?" Luo Liang usually has a good relationship with Mr. Hu, the accountant. At this time, he thought that Chen Yue was going to tell them a strange story, so he deliberately imitated it. Just for fun as a nerd.
Gong Fu also hurriedly followed: "Is there any reason why I don't want to? Is there any reason why I don't want to"
Chen Yue heard that it was funny, so he stopped urging the two of them to go back. He glanced sideways at Xian'er beside him. Originally, he wanted to tell this little girl some love stories such as Romance of the West Chamber, Legend of White Snake or Dream of Red Mansions. I was crying. Now that there are two grown men here, it is not appropriate to say this. I frowned and thought for a while before saying:
"Let me tell you a story about a general. There used to be a man just like you." At this point, Chen Yue pointed at Luo Liang and Gong Fu, and then said: "They were also born in poor families, and they also worked as bankers in wealthy families. , but later became a marshal with a hundred thousand soldiers."
Luo Liang and Gong Fu's eyes lit up when they heard that someone with their own background could become a generalissimo. Chen Yue continued: "His name is Yue Fei, and his courtesy name is Pengju"
¡¡
Yue Fei is a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty. I am afraid that even his grandfather has not been born yet, but the general customs and environment are not different from this time.It is naturally easy to gain the recognition of the three people watching. Of course, the specific dynasty background and Chen Yue have been appropriately changed. This is originally a romance story, and there is no need to pay too much attention to the details.
No matter which dynasty they are in, people who have already identified with the concept of "China" (in ancient times, China often referred to the Central Plains Dynasty) will regard fighting against foreigners as an exciting and exciting thing. The three of them gradually became fascinated by what they heard. I didn't feel anything for a long time. Chen Yue wanted to stop several times and persuade them to go back and wait until the next day to continue talking. But he couldn't stand Xian'er's insistence, so he had to speed up a little and dance.
When it was said that Yue Fei defeated Jin Wushu and vowed to counterattack Jin Realm and regain the rivers and mountains, Luo Liang and Gong Fu could not help but cheer, and even Xian'er clapped her little hands with excitement on her face.
Unfortunately, it wasn¡¯t long before Chen Yue changed the topic and mentioned that Qin Huijin had deceived the emperor into recalling Yue Fei with ten gold medals and executed Yue Fei on trumped-up charges.
Luo Liang did not consider for a moment that the person in front of him was his young master. He was so angry that he slapped his thigh and stood up. He said bitterly: "How can there be such a scoundrel? It's really it's" After thinking for a long time, he couldn't find it. Words that can express your anger.
Gong Fu said angrily: "It's time to chop it into pieces and feed it to the dogs!"
"Yes! It's time to chop that Qin Hui into pieces and feed it to the dogs!"
Xian'er's eyes were slightly red, she pulled Chen Yue's sleeve and said, "Master, don't let General Yue die"
Chen Yue spread his hands: "This is the story. How do you want me to tell it?"
He is quite satisfied with the effect. At this time, people have very poor entertainment methods and receive little information. This kind of story can easily arouse people's resonance. Didn't you see that there are shouts, curses or cheers everywhere in storytelling teahouses?
Whether this story can spread, he doesn't know whether his arrival will immediately change the direction of history, but if this kind of story spreads, at least the name Qin Hui is unlikely to appear in history books in the future.
After finishing the story, after the three of them had calmed down, they still asked Chen Yue to tell another story the next day. When he nodded, they left. Before leaving, Chen Yue asked Luo Liang and Luo Liang to each pick up a few kilograms of charcoal. It's the twelfth lunar month and it's just suitable. In his philosophy, doing things requires rewards and punishments to motivate employees.
Of course, the charcoal was all paid for by the Chen family, and now he still has to control costs.
The two of them were very grateful. Chen Yue asked them to come over to help the next day, and they agreed wholeheartedly.
Unexpectedly, when they came the next day, they both gave themselves a name. Luo Liang was named Peng Gao, and Gong Fu was named Pengyuan. Ordinary people originally only had first names but no names, but their reasons were very loud: General Yue was also poor. Even if you are born with the surname Pengju, we must also learn from General Yue!
Chen Yue shrugged helplessly and let them go, but today he planned to tell a few stories about the Three Kingdoms. I wonder if they will change their names to Yunchang and Yide after they go back?
