Chapter 1490 Reincarnation Fever
As soon as this kind of thing appeared, it immediately spread with lightning speed.
The villagers, Shilin, have always been the most enthusiastic about this kind of miraculous things.
For a time, rumors like "Go to the West, find the fountain of immortality, and be reincarnated in the next life..." immediately became popular. From south to north, from cities to villages, following the footsteps of hawkers and traders, people everywhere Spread down.
The Fountain of Immortality has begun to be officially sold. It is a monopoly within the palace. It is only allowed to be traded outside the palace gate and cannot be purchased elsewhere.
A small bottle, just enough for one mouthful, was sold for three thousand taels of silver.
With visible objects and examples, this news is naturally not ordinary.
In the streets and alleys, storytellers, city sluts, rich men, and wealthy ladies are all talking about similar things with gusto.
For example, the master of such and such a family died today. As a result, his servant gave birth to a child that night, and the child claimed that he was the master of this family.
However, this child was drowned to death by the eldest son of the owner...
This matter was spread by the servants.
Some people lamented, some gloated, and some said that this master is too stupid. The wealth and concubines already belong to the eldest son. How could the eldest son let him go again?
Some people said that it turned out that the eldest son was not his biological son, but was adopted by the wife because she was unable to give birth to a child and was afraid that her concubine would come to power.
People's hearts are separated from each other's belly...
The old man died of frustration like this.
As soon as this happened, the number of child prodigies suddenly dropped sharply.
Everyone knows this very well, but everyone is even more convinced about it.
"You guys are all smart people. You have no experience in reincarnation for the first time. If you get out of trouble, the people behind you will never expose your identity in the past life again. Because the past life brings not only kindness, but also hatred. Ah..." the storyteller said.
“Yes, yes, if you want to know whose child is reincarnated and has awakened Suhui, I am afraid you have to wait until you are 15 years old, start a family and start a business, and have the ability to protect yourself.”
"By the way, I have a rumor here. It is about a lawsuit in Shuntian Mansion. The reincarnated Master Zhang Tiande wants to earn family property with his grandson. Zhang Tiande has told all the information in the family clearly. Mr. Fu Yin There was no choice but to settle the case by awarding him two large houses and two hundred acres of paddy fields.”
"This Tiande is so stupid. Why didn't he hide his property before his death?"
"It's simple. When he bought the Fountain of Youth, he was already too old and had no time to transfer it."
"In the future, the gentlemen will be smart and hide their treasures in the mountains in advance. You can pay more attention when you go into the mountains to chop firewood in the future." The storyteller smiled.
"Hahaha..."
While everyone was joking, the profession of a treasure hunter quietly emerged.
Later, it grew stronger and stronger, because more and more people were hiding treasures, and more and more people were looking for treasures.
For gentlemen, how to better hide treasures so that they can find and continue to enjoy them after reincarnation is a big problem.
The land that is impossible to move is no longer the goal they pursue in the rest of their lives. On the contrary, gold, silver, silver notes, antiques... these small and high-value things that are easy to hide are sought after.
"How to hide treasures" has become an important topic studied by scholars, even more important than the imperial examination.
Because the imperial examination is just a stepping stone, and the treasure will be hidden for several lifetimes.
A series of theories were born.
"Egg Theory", eggs cannot be placed in a basket, and treasures cannot be hidden in a cave.
"Reputable Bank", find a bank to keep your property, and agree to only recognize the account and password when withdrawing, not the person.
This seems to be the safest, but banks will collapse, be stolen, and money will disappear inexplicably.
In the eyes of many people, if you save a share in the bank, you should also hide a share yourself.
"Treasure hidden in caves" has become a hot topic again...
......
Only the farmers who have been numbed by the pressure of work are indifferent to this.
However, they soon lost their numbness. "My dear, have you heard that? When I came back from working outside, Liu Bapi's man said at the entrance of the village that he didn't have to pay the rent he owed! The interest owed on the money owed in previous years was waived, and it could be postponed for two years. !”
In a thatched courtyard that was so poor that even the firewood door was broken, an old man wearing a single layer of linen clothes broke into the house with a joyful voice.
"I've heard about it a long time ago. Butler Liu just sent us a hundred kilograms of rice bran and seventeen kilograms of sorghum rice for us to spend the winter, and there are also five thick cotton coats..."
"God opened your eyes, Liu Bapi became Liu Dashan!"
From a poor family, it is absolutely impossible to understand the twists and turns here, and will only instinctively attribute it to God.
No matter what, they can survive another winter and see the hope of spring.
Are the landowners stupid?
They are stubborn, conservative, old-fashioned, backward... but they are definitely smart.
Big fights come in and small fights come out, profit is compounded, the property is concealed, the tax burden is transferred... collude with the government officials, and the tricks can make future generations amazed.
You really have to squeeze the shredded meat out of the snail shell.
The reason why these poor people are benefiting now is naturally because the old men discovered that their next life after reincarnation is often among the children born to the people around them.
The range will not be too far, no more than a hundred miles at most.
In this case, it is very important to enable the poor and untouchables around us to feed their children.
Otherwise, it is very likely that the baby would have drowned just after it was born because it could not be fed. This was very common in the feudal dynasty.
Some people want to ask, Tianzhu also believes in reincarnation, why don't the big men worry about being reincarnated as a poor person and suffering in the next life?
If you are worried, why never give benefits to the poor?
Quite simply, no one has ever seen a successful reincarnation.
They would rather give money to the monks and let the monks bless them to continue to be masters in the next life, than distribute the money to the poor so that the poor can live a better life, thus ensuring that no matter which family they are reincarnated into, they will be happy. Can enjoy a similar life.
It is easy to do the former, but too difficult to do the latter.
But here, reincarnation has become a real thing.
Drink the Fountain of Youth today and become Conan tomorrow.
Under the reinforcement of such real cases time and time again, can gentlemen still be stingy with the money and land in their hands?
Are you still afraid of the difficulty of doing things?
Impossible.
If you are stingy, drinking from the fountain of youth will be of no use.
Children from poor families have a high chance of dying due to poverty.
It is common to have seven or eight children and only two or three to live.
In fact, the probability of royal children dying in infancy is very high.
This has triggered another boom - the demand for doctors, especially doctors in obstetrics and gynecology and infant and child care.
Many wealthy families have begun to spend money to train public doctors, especially allowing poor people to treat sick children for free.
In the past, they also had a very important need for doctors, and the imperial court also established a Taiyuan Hospital to specialize in medical skills.
It's just that things are different between the past and now. In the past, we relied on various empirical prescriptions, and if we succeeded, we would be fine, but if we didn't, we would die. Now, the gentlemen require correctness, reliability, clarity, and symptomatic treatment.
No one wants to die at the hands of a quack doctor due to cold after hard work.
This means that the road to immortality is completely cut off.
If the original demand index for doctors was 50, it is now 50,000.
The difference is so huge.
