Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 1386 Extra: Underworld (7)

Zhao Changyu: "The war has just ended in the human world. It is a time when everything is waiting for help. Life will not be easy within ten years. If you reincarnate at this time, no matter how good you are, you will inevitably suffer. I have already suffered enough in my previous life. I don’t want to suffer any more in my life.”

So he has to wait until the country is peaceful and the people are safe before reincarnating. Then he will just be a happy and wealthy kid.

Zhao Zhongyu couldn't help but snorted softly and said, "Brother, I was born into a noble family. When have you ever experienced hardship?"

Is he the one who suffers?

Zhao Changyu glanced at him and said: "I'm not miserable? Are you miserable? Do you know what life our Zhao family lived before? Do you think your life of calling slaves and maids has been there since you were a child? Chi! , let me tell you, I saved every penny!"

Zhao Zhongyu's face turned red and he couldn't say anything to refute.

The direct branch of the Zhao family has a fine tradition, which is to be honest and honest in officialdom. It is truly honest.

Zhao Changyu was the eldest son when he was born. At that time, the Zhao family already had a high reputation in the Runan area and was also famous among the gentry class in the entire country.

The Zhao family is most praised for being an honest official, outstanding in talent, and quite popular among the people.

This tradition started from their grandfather, and the Zhao family's accumulation of prestige also started from their grandfather.

Their grandfather was Taichang Qing of Cao Wei. He was named Marquis of Xiling Township by Emperor Wei Ming. He was an honest official. Life was difficult at that time. In order to survive, he had to sell his land and house.

When it came to Zhao Changyu's father, he was equally upright as an official. He was named Shangcai Bo. He was generous and generous, but he never took a penny from the people. Instead, he liked to spread wealth and help his neighbors, relatives and friends. If anyone comes to ask for help, his father will help him.

Over time, unable to make ends meet, the Zhao family's life was actually not very good.

The person Zhao Changyu admired and liked the most was his uncle Xia Houxuan. Many of his behaviors were subconsciously imitated by Xia Houxuan, but he also changed the things that made him criticized and thought to be causing trouble.

Why could he and Zhao Zhongyu survive under the hands of Empress Jia?

It's because he learned a lesson from Xia Houxuan and is low-key and aware of current affairs enough.

You know, he was one of the ministers who strongly supported the deposing of the prince. Among the ministers who strongly advocated deposing the prince, he was the only one who survived until the death of Empress Jia. Others, such as Wei Jie's grandfather Wei Guan, had already Even if he died, the whole family would be implicated.

You know, Wei Guan was much more powerful than Zhao Changyu at that time, and he was also the teacher of Emperor Hui of Jin.

Therefore, Zhao Changyu deliberately restrained his words and deeds when he was young.

He is also smart and has become famous in Yuzhou since he was a child. Everyone who meets him praises him.

He is also honest as an official. He loves money, but he never uses his power and official position to make money. All his money comes from the right way.

He took in the refugees to farm, open shops, and form caravans, which was a source of income; he reduced the number of servants and maids in the house, planted fruit trees in the garden, and planted flowers that could be picked for medicine. In order to save money, he bought furs in the summer and stocked up on ice in the winter, because There were few servants, so he personally went to the river to dig ice in winter and made cattail leaf mats in summer, which was to save money.

When he was a local official, he never bought land or opened a shop in the place where he was an official. He cherished self-love and served as an official with integrity. Wherever he served as an official, the economy developed rapidly and the people were able to live and work in peace and contentment.

In life, he has never been extravagant. A set of clothes can be worn for three to five years. Even if they are washed and worn, he can wear them happily. His diet is mainly light vegetarian food. He saved the Zhao family's money penny by penny in this way. .

He was so frugal in order not to succumb to the ambitions of his ancestors. As a result, this stupid brother was afraid that others would not know that he had money. He was as stupid and generous as his father. He would help anyone who came to the door with money.

If you have the ability to earn it yourself, it’s all his money!

Alas, Zhao Changyu didn't want to talk anymore. If he talked too much, he would shed tears.

He turned around and said: "Let's go to the underworld to collect the offerings from Sanniang. You can go back and find the ghost messenger to see if you can buy two pieces of land in the underworld and let the ghosts build a few more small houses on the ground. Then go back to the mansion." All the guests here have moved out.”

Sanniang has ascended the throne and they can leave.

But we can’t just throw people out, we still have to make proper arrangements.

"Then it depends on Sanniang's ability. If she can keep the world stable for a few years and there will be no more wars, the number of ghosts reincarnated in the underworld will definitely increase. It won't take long for those ghosts to be reincarnated. Then the house will be destroyed. Take it back and sell it…”

Although you may not be able to make back your capital, you can make back a little bit.

It was difficult for Zhao Zhongyu to understand, "We have so many offerings every year, why do we still have to make this money? Wouldn't it be better to give the house to them?"

Han Zhang of their family has been enthroned, and they are now the royal family. There will be sacrifices every year during the New Year, Qingming Festival, Hungry Ghost Festival, Double Ninth Festival, and even autumn harvest and some specific events. Every time it is a national sacrifice. There will never be a shortage of money and five animals.

The two of them are the two closest elders to Zhao Hanzhang. The others, oh, no, they are ghosts. They have basically been reincarnated. Basically, Zhao Changyu takes the big head and he takes the small head. Even so, there are quite a few. , he really couldn’t understand, if he didn’t take this thing with him when he was born, he couldn’t spend it all, and he had no descendants to inherit it here, why on earth would he still make money from the underworld?

Zhao Changyu: "If you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries. Do you know whether I want to live in the underworld for two hundred years or five hundred years?"

Zhao Zhongyu was speechless.

Just do what you're told.

The number of ghosts in the underworld disappeared faster than they had guessed. After Zhao Hanzhang ascended the throne, the speed of reincarnation in the underworld accelerated. In the third year after she ascended the throne, there was a sharp decrease, with a large number of ghosts appearing every day. Go drink Meng Po soup and cross Naihe Bridge.

There was a huge shortage of ghosts to cook Meng Po soup, and the underworld government posted a notice that it would cost a lot to hire someone. What Zhao Zhongyu couldn't understand was that Zhao Changyu, who was extremely wealthy in the underworld, actually applied for the job.

Not just any ghost can make Meng Po soup, it is very demanding. By coincidence, Zhao Changyu is the qualified ghost.

So he was lucky enough to stand at the end of the bridge and watch the ghosts lining up on the Naihe Bridge, and then one by one jump from the bridge into a circle to be reincarnated.

Zhao Changyu stayed away for two days. After receiving his wages, he came back and told Zhao Zhongyu, "I have found out everything. After drinking Meng Po soup, I will not forget everything immediately, but I will walk across the Naihe Bridge. If you forget one step at a time, you will forget everything when you reach the end. At this time, you only need to enter reincarnation to be reincarnated."

Zhao Zhongyu didn't expect that his brother would actually inquire about this information. He couldn't help blinking and asked in confusion: "Didn't the eldest brother say that he doesn't want to be reincarnated for the time being?"

Zhao Changyu: "I don't want to, but don't you?"

Zhao Zhongyu was a little embarrassed. He had inquired about reincarnation with ghosts a few days ago. In recent years, life in the human world has been much better. The ghosts who came down from the human world also said that now ordinary people can have half full meals at home. , there are very few refugees outside, and even less bandits.

Zhao Changyu said sincerely: "Brother, I still hope that you can be reborn as a good child. Look back and count the days. After receiving another national sacrifice, you can go to reincarnate again. Maybe you can be reborn as a good child."

He paused, but still couldn't help but said: "Reincarnation can only change your destiny, but you can't change your IQ. You are not very smart, so you should choose to be reincarnated into a loyal and wealthy family."

Otherwise, he was afraid that his younger brother would not live to adulthood.

Do you think anyone can be like him, the Youti brothers?

Fortunately, Zhao Zhongyu didn't know Zhao Changyu's thoughts, otherwise he would have vomited blood. He had been beaten and scolded by his brother since he was a child, and he was often embarrassed in front of others. He called this friendship?
