Chapter 4 Selling Yellow Paper



A big buffalo, two horses and three big fat pigs were the thank-you gifts brought by the Ba people.

These things may not be very valuable to the Han people, and more elegant people may even find them vulgar.

But Wang Zheng only felt happy. The Ba people as a whole had declined after the Han Dynasty and were no longer as prosperous as they were in ancient times. This was mainly because they had been sinicized and had no unified sense of belonging.

Not to mention the unified political power in ancient times, even the tribal alliances of the Han Dynasty no longer exist. Now they live together with the Han people in the form of small tribes.

In this way, the Ba people would naturally be controlled by the government, and the right to interpret the law would belong to the Han people. They were no match for the Han people in terms of political schemes, and naturally it was impossible for them to form wealthy families, because they could not keep profitable businesses.

Of course, ordinary people's lives should be better than before. After all, the Han people brought civilization and allowed them to learn many advanced technologies. Productivity must have improved to a certain extent, and the survival of ordinary people is naturally not as difficult as before.

The little girl who learned how to make kudzu powder from Wang Zheng was standing next to a short, sturdy man with extremely broad shoulders and short hair. She was looking at Wang Zheng with a smile on her face. Zhang San was saying something to the short, sturdy man.

Judging from his expression, he seemed a little dissatisfied, wondering why Luo Wu didn't send another horse.

Although the method is simple, just as you said, my Ba people would never have thought of it in thousands of years. Perhaps this method is not worth anything to you.

Wang Zheng nodded and said, "I have just arrived here, and this place is really not suitable for entertaining guests. Please forgive me, Chief Patriarch. I will come to apologize after I have packed up."

Wang Zheng's identity is there. If there are any disputes with the Han family in the future, Wang Zheng's way is here, which can provide some room for maneuver.

I'm new here, and I don't have a clue about anything. When I need anything, I will ask for help from Chief Luo. It will be fine as long as Chief Luo doesn't mind the trouble."

"That's good. Since the things have been delivered to you, we won't bother you anymore. You just arrived here, so you must have a lot of things to do. You can come over to our place when you have free time."

The nearest county town to Wang Zheng is thirty miles away, and it takes basically a day to go back and forth, so one person has to stay at home.

If you want to sell yellow paper, you definitely can’t go to the nearby market. These people are still struggling to make ends meet, so how can they spend money on personal hygiene?

For this, Wang Zheng gave Zhang San his last dime and asked him to go to the market to buy more salt. Wang Zheng planned to make it all into bacon and keep it for himself to eat slowly.

Luo Wu didn't care. It was a good thing for the Ba tribe to make friends and help capable people. Moreover, although Wang Zheng's Jiangxin Island was not very good, it was a royal farm after all.

Wang Zheng bowed again and saluted, "Please go, Patriarch. I'm sorry I can't see you off."

Zhang San looked at the teeth of the oxen and horses and said to Wang Zheng happily, "Master, these are all young oxen and horses. They are strong and energetic. In the future, we will have oxen to plow the fields and we can ride horses when traveling.

Then Zhang San said with some regret: "It's just that there are only two horses, which is a bit inconvenient."

But your method is a very good supplement for our Ba people, especially in years of disaster, it is a way to save lives. This is a great favor, and the Ba people must be grateful.

Wang Zheng looked at the six large animals in front of him and said sincerely: "These thank-you gifts are very generous to you and me. I will not despise them and dare not refuse them.

The short and strong man nodded and said, "Thank you for your courtesy. I am Luo Wu from the Ba tribe and I am not familiar with the Han etiquette. A few days ago, you taught my daughter how to make kudzu powder.

A dozen short-haired warriors holding sickles were surrounding them, centered around the three of them, or to be more precise, centered around the short and strong man.

Wang Zheng looked at Li Si's size and felt that the short southwestern horse might not be able to carry him. If Li Si wanted to ride a horse, he might have to wait until he returned to Chang'an.

Now that the little silver he had saved for emergencies had been spent, Wang Zheng was left with no money. He felt a little bad. He had to get the yellow paper out quickly and exchange it for some money to put his mind at ease.

Five days later, all the equipment was ready. Five days later, Wang Zhengji had collected more than 200 kilograms of yellow paper and began to plan how to sell the yellow paper.

After Wang Zheng took stock of the subordinate relationships in the arena, he led Li Si to the short and strong man and bowed as a junior, greeting him: "I am Wang Zheng, the junior, and I am here to pay my respects to the leader."

The Ba tribe is poor and there aren't many things. I hope you don't mind. You live here and we are neighbors. If you need any help, you can ask me and I will do my best to help you."

Li Si waved his hands and said, "I don't need to ride a horse. I am fast on foot and I can keep up with you on horseback."

After Luo Wu and his men left, Zhang San and Li Si immediately ran to the big animals, touching and looking around with great joy.

Of course cattle and horses have to be raised. In this era, there is abundant water and grass, especially here in Wang Zheng's place. The riverside is also overgrown with weeds. It is more than enough to raise three large animals, so it is not a problem.

At the very least, you have to go to a nearby county town.

Luo Wu nodded, "Then we'll take our leave."

As for the three big fat pigs, they were slaughtered on the spot. Since they had been tied up, it was convenient to slaughter them.

Wang Zheng didn't say too much politely and said frankly that he had accepted the things and that if he had any trouble in the future and needed help, he would definitely come to him. This was what he had originally intended when he taught him the method of making kudzu powder, so there was no need to be pretentious at this time.

After Wang Zheng came over, Zhang San immediately stood behind Wang Zheng.

After leaving all the matters to Zhang San and Li Si, Wang Zheng returned to the bamboo house and continued to work on the toilet paper.

After considering the pros and cons, Wang Zheng finally decided to take Li Si out with him. This was not only safer, but he could also ride the horse openly while Li Si walked.

Anyway, Li Si is in good health and walks fast. If Wang Zheng takes Zhang San out, he will ride the horse himself. Regardless of whether Zhang San can catch up, it will be a bit embarrassing for Wang Zheng to ride the horse himself and let others walk.

After all, they are people who live together day and night, and who can say that Wang Zheng comes from an equal society?

After everything was planned, Wang Zheng dug out his bronze badge to prove his identity, tidied up his appearance, and then took Li Si out.

A horse carrying two bamboo baskets and two hundred kilograms of yellow paper was led by Li Si in front, and Wang Zheng followed on a horse behind. They stopped and walked along the way and arrived at the county town before noon.
