Chapter 23 Set a Small Goal First

Tan Yushu asked what to bring back to modern times, Chi Li thought about it, but there was nothing to bring back.

Because the productivity levels of ancient times and modern times are very different, things that are common in modern times are precious in ancient times, and things that are precious in ancient times are commonplace in modern times.

For example, the glazed statue given by Song Ming is a glass product in modern times.Tan Yushu gave him a box of glass beads at the beginning, and now Song Ming gave him a glass statue, it really feels like a tit for tat.Fortunately, although it is worthless in modern times, it was very precious in ancient times and can be kept.

As for the antique porcelain that comes to mind when you mention ancient times, you can take it to a modern test, and it just came out of the kiln yesterday.The antiques handed down from the previous dynasty were also very precious in the Yong Dynasty, more valuable than gold.

Not to mention that there are many differences between the history and culture of the Yong Dynasty and the world he lived in. The biggest difference is that the emperors are different.You take an antique from the Yong Dynasty to the present, and the official kiln bears the emperor's signature. Archaeologists look at it, which dynasty and emperor it is, and I have never seen it.A major discovery, a cultural gap, and a new dynasty were unearthed!

Forget it, let's not trouble the archaeologists.

As for precious metals such as gold and silver, they are indeed very precious, but the problem lies in productivity.

The ancients used gold and silver as currency, which can easily give people the illusion that gold and silver were everywhere in ancient times, but modern mining technology is a hundred times more advanced than ancient times. How can the amount of gold and silver reserves in ancient times be compared with modern times.

For ordinary people in modern times, gold is a bit expensive, but silver jewelry has become a very common jewelry.But for ordinary people in ancient times, silver was rarely used as currency.

The reason why Tan Yushu was able to take out a few taels of silver casually was because he was not among ordinary people at all.His father's family is a scholarly family, his mother's family is a wealthy merchant, and he is still an official. Even though the Yong Dynasty emphasized civility over military affairs, he was also an officer when he was a soldier.

People of this class are at the top of the food chain no matter which dynasty they are in, and they cannot be used as a reference for studying ordinary people at all.Even the poor Uncle Zhuangzi is a literati with a high social status, not among ordinary people.

For ordinary people, the most common coin is copper coins. If you have a lot of money, you are a rich man. Regardless of inflation, if you pick up garbage in an electroplating factory for a few years, you can become a rich man back in ancient times.

Under such a huge difference in productivity, anything in ancient times would be depreciated when sold in modern times, including gold and silver.

Moreover, modern detection technology is not as simple as in ancient times. He transports gold and silver to modern times every day, how can he explain it to the police uncle.

Therefore, it is not safe to make money by reselling things.

The most important thing is that he is now a partner with Tan Yushu.

Tan Yushu is a person with a strong sense of social responsibility. The reason why I choose to cooperate with him is because the modern things he introduced can make the world better.

If he is insatiable, every month, he will move something from Tan Yushu's world that can cause social turmoil in them, such as huge amounts of gold and silver.

With Tan Yushu's character, he wouldn't show anything on the surface, and he would even continue to help him with advice. After all, judging from his generous hands, he is not a person who cares about every detail, and believes in equal value exchange.

But such unscrupulous behavior will definitely make him downgrade the trustworthiness of this person in his heart.

Of course, even at the lowest point, this guy would definitely be able to yell "Brother Chi, Brother Chi" incessantly.

Thinking of this pool of gravel, I have some doubts.

He thought about what this thing was for, even if Tan Yushu found him unhappy, he could still turn against him, and he would hold back his displeasure, hum!

So in ancient times when productivity was extremely low, what is there that is still inexhaustible and inexhaustible in modern times?

That is spirit, culture, and thought.

Material wealth will be limited by the level of productivity, but spiritual wealth will not, so what he wants to sell from ancient times to modern times is spiritual wealth!

After changing several angles to take a clear picture of the inscription on the wall, Chili entered the room and planned to take a picture of the "Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture" given by Emperor Jiaming. There are too many, and I can’t take pictures with my mobile phone. Forget it, the scroll is not big anyway, so I take it with me when I go back, and find a craftsman to cut it down.

After three days of leek promotions, Efa Temple's reputation has soared day by day, whether it is among ordinary people, dignitaries, or literati groups, and it has made a lot of money.

Now that he is ready to develop Efa Temple as a brand, he naturally cannot treat his employees badly, so Chili paid salaries to all the monks under him.

The monks in the Yong Dynasty were treated well, so naturally they were not so easy to be. Not only were they limited, but they also had to take exams, which was quite difficult.

If you don't take the test, you can buy it like Brother Tan Jiuge. The Ministry of Households officially sells it for 200 taels.But now Tan Yushu of the Household Department is the boss. Although the Yong Dynasty greatly reduced the powers of the ministers in order to prevent a certain official from becoming bigger, the Minister of the Household Department is like a mascot.But the EQ of the officials under him was not low enough to ask the chief for money, so he sent it back in a hurry.

These two types of officially recognized monks are well paid, while reserve monks who come in through other methods are not so well treated. Not to mention the low "single fee", but also to do chores.After receiving the generous "salary" from Chi Likai, I was very happy. After all, these people came to the temple to make a living, not to study Buddhism.

Chi Li thought for a while, if he has time, send all the monks in the monastery who seriously want to study Buddhism to other monasteries. He wants to build a team that only wants to make money.

Brother Tan, as the general manager of the "Elfa Temple Group", Chi Li directly gave him a monthly salary of 10 guan. After more than a month of nurturing, the boy who was somewhat like a monk went to heaven in an instant.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

"roll."

What would he do with such a shitty thing.

Time passed quickly, and the night of the full [-]th month was coming again. Tan Yushu was going to pick up Chi Li early in the morning, but Tan's mother stopped him, retreated from the crowd and said solemnly: "Are you really going to that place?" The world, can't you let Mr. Chi Xiaolang be alone..."

It was rare for Tan Yushu to interrupt his mother's words: "Mom, I can't do this. It's my cooperation. I can't let Brother Chi face the risk alone."

Tan's mother said angrily: "But you are the only seedling of our family, if you don't know where you will live or die, what will mother do!"

This is indeed a problem, and Tan Yushu is also in a dilemma. Suddenly, an idea pops up in his mind: "Why don't you go with me?"

Mother Tan: ...?

The more Tan Yushu thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible: "In this way, no matter which world I fall into, I won't be afraid of having my mother around."

"you……"

Mother Tan pointed at him dumbfounded, and then... was persuaded.

Tan's mother's education environment is completely different from that of most girls in the Yong Dynasty. Her father is a great merchant in Jinzhou. He has seven sons, but only one daughter. Therefore, her father loves this only daughter very much, and does not use ordinary people to educate his daughter. Teach her the rules.

She has lived in such a family since she was a child, and she has been exposed to various businesses and people, her horizons have gradually broadened, and her temper has become more unruly.

When it was time to get married, his father realized that this daughter had become so "unruly", but he couldn't change it, so he had to find an obedient husband for her.

At first hearing that Tan Yushu was going, Tan's mother was very unhappy.But if she is asked to follow along, then she will suddenly be in high spirits!

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what should I bring when I go?"

Tan Yushu didn't expect his mother to change her face so quickly: "Uh... there is nothing missing there, just bring a summer dress, and I have already prepared a meeting gift for the second elder."

"Alright then, I'm going to prepare!"

Mother Tan went to prepare happily, and suddenly thought of something, and stopped Tan Yushu who was about to go out: "Hey, wait, where is the purse I gave you earlier?"

Tan Yushu: ...

"What's wrong girl?"

"What's the matter? After using it for so long, it must be old. I'll replace it with a new one for you."

Tan Yushu: ...

Can this thing still come back from Brother Chi?Thinking about Brother Chi's face, Tan Yushu gave up and stammered, "Purse...lost...lost."

Tan's mother suddenly became angry: "Lost it? Why don't you lose yourself? Is this kind of personal thing easy to lose?"

"I didn't pay attention for a while, sorry mother..."

Mother Tan narrowed her eyes, doubting: "Is it really lost, or did you give it to someone?"

"How is it possible, mother, I am a scholar, and I also know shame, and I will never give or accept in private."

Brother Chi actually snatched that purse!

Tan's mother examined him once, and it was indeed true, so she let him go.

Handed him the new purse, turned around and left, and suddenly remembered something while walking: her son will be 23 after the new year, and other people's children have children as old as him, but he is the only one who doesn't even have a marriage .With her son's appearance, are you afraid that she won't find someone to marry?He was the one who had no choice at the border, but now that he is settled, we must find him a suitable marriage!Do this when you come back~

Unexpectedly, Tan Yushu was suddenly put on the agenda of urging the marriage. He carefully hid his purse in a place where Brother Chi would definitely not see and went up the mountain, only to find that Brother Zhuang was there when he arrived.

Uncle Zhuangzi was drawing with a brush, muttering: "Ding wait! Ding wait! What is it? Ding wait!"

Chi Li frowned and said, "I asked you to rate these poems as four, but you gave me all of them?"

"Look for yourself, can you pick out one who is not Ding?"

Tan Yushu walked over curiously, and said with a smile, "Brother Chi, Brother Zhuang, what's the matter?"

Uncle Zhuangzi rolled his eyes: "Ask him."

The two stubborn donkeys were angry, and it took Tan Yushu a lot of effort to understand what happened.

It turns out that after the publication of Uncle Zhuangzi's "Shocking Essay", countless literati also wanted to write poems on the walls of the temple in exchange for leeks.In order to save some money for painting, Chi Li asked Tan Jiuge to lead those who had such thoughts to the "Ti'erfa Temple Winter Leek" on that wall, and those who knew themselves stopped thinking about painting on the wall and picked up paper and pens.

After the leeks were exchanged, all these poems and proses that were jotted down were collected and handed over to Uncle Zhuangzi. He was paid 20 taels a month and asked him to rate A, B, C, and D in four grades. As a result, he rated a pile of Ding!

Tan Yushu smiled awkwardly, and bowed after seeing off Uncle Zhuangzi: "Brother Zhuang, thanks to Brother Chi, for taking care of him. Now he not only has food and clothing, but also has a prosperous literary name. I think he will see the light of his career in the near future."

Chi Li snorted coldly: "He is only your classmate at most, why do you care so much about him?"

Tan Yushu pondered for a moment, then showed a shallow smile: "Because he is a very different person, different from many people in the world. Compared with people like me, he is not smooth enough, so he doesn't look smart enough. But I always I feel that it is a person like him who will not change is the one who can really bring about change."

"What kind of change?"

"It's a good change, like Brother Chi's hometown."

Chi Li snorted coldly. At this moment, he felt that Tan Yushu was the purely idealized person. He folded his arms and said, "You said that Uncle Zhuangzi's wife spoiled him, but I think you are the one who really spoiled him. He has become what he is now, thanks to you."

"Ha~" Tan Yushu laughed: "I'm not used to him this time. Brother Zhuang is indeed not suitable for entering the current court. If he forces his way in, it will only bring disaster, so I think he'd better go somewhere first. Be a petty official. After the head is broken and bleeding, no one can grow up."

Chi Li rolled his eyes. People like Uncle Zhuangzi can probably be tolerated only by Tan Yushu's temper and patience. Now and in the future, what difference does it make?

After chatting and looking at the stack of poems, Tan Yushu said helplessly, "It's really inappropriate to entrust Brother Zhuang to do the matter of classifying poems and prose, because everything that doesn't suit him is the last class, and in this world, what suits him is the best." There are too few of them, so let me get them.”

What else can I do, that's all I can do.

But Tan Yushu asked with some doubts: "What's the use of Brother Chi's division of poems into four levels?"

What else can it be used for?

Chi Li folded his arms: "Have you ever played a card game?"
