I want to be a good person

Chapter 64 Daily Life

Zhangjiakou’s unique geographical location, the only military fortress connecting the Mongolian Plateau and the Central Plains, is the cause of the blooming and falling of flowers.

All kinds of gossip on the street are becoming more and more flamboyant like new leaves, and rumors are popping up like weeds in the ground, making people's hearts fluctuate and uneasy.

When Zhang Aiguo took action, he put the hat of anti-Japanese element on the bandits' heads, forcing them to stand on the opposite side of the Japs. In the case of the opium den, Zhang Aiguo left the name of the big bandit Wang Ermei in a crooked way. Everyone knew it was fake, but they had to give an explanation. If the national government had acted earlier, the people would have suffered less.

Officer Wang used indirect tactics twice. Pretending to be drunk? Everyone can do that. Even if all the good wine nearby was bought, it would not be able to fill the several wine jars in the living space.

Zhang Aiguo made a judgment on this man: he is smart and clever, his words and deeds are inconsistent, he is easy to betray others, and he likes small favors. This is just a temporary protection. He has already dug a hole in the ground and hopes that he will not jump in.

Officer Wang said it would take two days, but it turned out to be more than half a month. Zhang Aiguo was very patient. He had enough money to spend anyway, so he could eat as much as he wanted.

"Great"

"Hey, sir"

"We'll go shopping later. We'll buy some wheat, soybeans, sorghum and other grains while they're cheap. We'll fill up our cellars. You can take the banknotes and use them to pay the bills. I don't know if they're worth much right now."

"Okay, sir."

Zhao Dayou took the stack of colorful banknotes.

"Sir, what is this money?"

"They are all issued by our Chinese banks. Spend them as soon as possible. I'm worried that they will become less and less valuable in the future."

"Understood, sir"

"By the way, do we need to fetch water to drink?"

"When there are water trucks selling water, I usually go to fetch water to drink."

"Thank you for your hard work. The animals also need to drink a lot."

"Sir, I am at home every day, and my wife doesn't go out either. It's really a waste of money to watch the donkey and horse eat. I feel uncomfortable with being idle every day. I feel more comfortable when I fetch some water."

Zhao Dayou paused and tried to speak carefully.

"Sir, the horse is too hungry. I calculated that it needs 13 dan of grain a year, and it also eats a lot of beans. There is also straw, which costs 30 dan. I have to buy it every now and then. There is a room in the back house that is used to store feed, but it can't supply it. Although the donkey is big, it eats less food, only about 3 or 4 dan. I think it's better to sell the horse and save some money."

After Zhao Dayou finished speaking, he waited anxiously for Zhang Aiguo's decision, which was a bit too much.

Zhang Aiguo knew that the other party had good intentions. Donkeys were easy to raise, and cows were even easier to raise. He had raised one himself. They fed coarse food, such as wheat straw, sorghum stalks, and millet stalks, and they could ruminate. The problem was that they could not run. He had 13 racing horses in his space, as well as pack horses and mules, which had big heads.

In the "Measures and Measures Law" promulgated by the National Government in 1929, the volume unit used "shi" and the weight unit was changed to "dan". One shi was equal to 120 jin, and one shi was equal to ten dou. Different varieties had different weights, and there was also a distinction between old dou and new dou. Each dou was about to jin. In reality, most of the policies were on paper and had never been truly unified. Only the collection of taxes was unified, and there was even more.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Sell the horse and I'll do it. It's no good carrying water all the time. I think the weather is getting warmer now, so let's look for a deep well in the yard. There's someone who knows how to read the water veins. We need a sweet water well."

"I understand, I'll do it right away"

The banknotes were issued by the Bank of China, Bank of Communications, Chahar Border Industry Bank and Industrial Bank. After counting, there were as many as 319 pieces. Zhang Aiguo had never paid attention to the actual value of the banknotes or the amount of money circulating in the market.

The Japanese first used commodity dumping. Because of the low taxes, they naturally had price advantages and were able to quickly defeat ethnic businesses with similar business scope. The catering, grocery and entertainment industries entered, bringing about cultural invasion, accompanied by financial control of the capital market and the use of third-rate means to deal with businesses that they could not defeat.

"The contribution of the tobacco shop is not as great as imagined. Isn't it said to make a fortune every day?"

"Oh, I'm wrong. Making a fortune every day is another way of doing business. It's not easy for the girls either. It's fine if I don't help them, but I'd feel bad asking them for money. What if the workload increases?

"No, I can open a pharmacy to serve them."

Zhang Aiguo was holding a cup of tea, deep in thought.

"I am stuck here with one foot. As the old saying goes, plans are not as good as changes. But I can't stop either. Life lies in movement."

"Where is the standard of right and wrong, good and evil? I am deep in darkness, which arouses the evil in human nature, but my heart is towards light. I only want a ray of white light, not the blue sky and the sun. Everything in the world has cause and effect. Killing the devils myself should be the greatest good."

"Everyone has a different starting point, perspective, and height, and their words and deeds will be different, and their bottom lines will be different. If you think about it, I am not a good person either, so I have to act with caution. A single mistake may lead to a fatal disaster."

"Hacks are not omnipotent or invincible. In front of bullets and artillery shells, humans and ghosts are equal. You can't just rely on luck, you also need to have adequate plans and preparations. Everything is prepared, otherwise it will fail."

"I have no interest in Chinese banks. The targets of robbery have never been Chinese people. Forget about bandits. They are all bad guys. Do you think my behavior is black eating black?"

"Next, we plan to change the reputation of the bandits and indirectly help the people."

Zhang Aiguo took a sip of tea, which was a Sichuan green brick tea purchased from the local Yixing Tea House.

Twenty-four means that each box contains twenty-four bricks of tea, and one box requires thirty-three silver dollars. Each brick of tea weighs five and a half pounds and is worth one dollar and thirty cents.

“It is better to go without food for three days than to go without tea for one day”, but the dense sounds of camel bells have dissipated with the wind, and there are only a dozen tea houses left in the city, less than 10% of the number in its heyday.

"What is Moon Seo Hee doing?"

"Is it time to go to school?"

"Damn it, I just miss her beauty and want to know the difference between being awake and asleep."

Zhang Aiguo likes to daydream when he has nothing to do. Maybe it’s a habit left over from daydreaming in his previous life. He responded to the call, although it doesn’t feel very real now.

"Xinyu, let's go for a walk outside the city, ride a horse, and shoot some guns."

"Hey"

Zhao Xinyu was very happy and quickly changed her clothes, saying that she was going out. It had been delayed for more than ten days. She had been waiting for this day for a long time.

After saddled the horses, the two men went out and led the horses north.

Instead of following the main road, the two men mounted their horses and galloped towards the northwest.

Zhang Aiguo has always had a dream, that is, the person who played the role of horse sex in his previous life, and how he performed all these tricks on the saddle, without feeling uncomfortable, and his expression was as if he had taken aphrodisiac. He really wants to try it.

The sky is blue, the grass is green, the river is clear, and the air is fresh. The weather in May is cool in the morning and evening.

By the edge of a pond, the clattering sound of horse hooves startled the small animals that were basking in the sun. A frog accidentally slipped off the back of another frog and tried hard to climb back up. The female frog jumped into the water, creating ripples.

“Wow~wow~wow~wow~wow”

Several male frogs screamed loudly, the hateful horse hooves disturbed their happy sexual life.

The spring breeze was blowing, the traditional Peking Opera sled was coming to an end, the two people on horseback fell to the ground, and Zhang Aiguo finally confirmed that it was really difficult to be on the saddle. Both parties were uncomfortable. It could only be said that they did not have the talent of an actor, no matter when or where.

"Where's the gun?"

"it's here!"
