第200章 见微知著(2 / 2)

汉世祖 芈黍离 1855 字 2022-12-17

毕竟,东京食客颇多,赚的钱也更多些,比起那几亩地,收益更高!”

刘旸眉头下意识地蹙起:“几亩田!你祖父二人,不是留下了两百多亩地吗?你家叔侄兄弟有多少人,即便分家分产,还不能养活一家?”

店家有些犹豫,此时也回过神了。见状,刘旸脸一板:“但讲无妨!”

被吓了一跳,踟蹰几许,还是支支吾吾道:“小人家本分得三十五亩地,都是五丈河边的良田,若善加经营,养活一家自不成问题,甚至还有富余。只是,朝廷税收不低,劳役也颇多,前些年粮价也始终上不去,何况,有二十多亩田都变卖了......”

“寻常农家,都恨不得守着田土一辈子,你家又是五丈河流过的沃土,怎会变卖,家里遇到什么困难?”刘旸一副寻根究底的模样。

“官人,小人不能再多说了!”店家连连摇头,脸上已然带有少许惶恐。

深深地看了此人一眼,小民之艰,这四个字突然在脑海中盘旋,这还是英烈之后的有产者,那些真正的普通黎民黔首呢?

想了想,刘旸又露出点笑容,语气更加温和:“我本就随口问之,你有顾忌,我也不勉强。再说说看,经营这食档,有多久了?”

“大概有五年了!”

“这一日能获利多少,得有五六百钱吧!”刘旸笑道。

店家连连摇头:“没有那么多,像官人这样的大主顾,还是少见的。寻常食客,花几文钱点些水饭、炊饼也就够了,即便点鸡、羊肉片,也用不了二十文!”

听他这么说,刘旸点点头,指着桌上那剩下一半多鹿肉道:“你们的鹿肉,味道不错!”

“不瞒官人,我们这小摊,比不得那些大食馆,这些鹿肉,都是乡里人自己打猎所得,肉不多,但做得也更用心些。”

“不错!”刘旸轻笑道:“不过,味道可有些澹,没放多少盐吧!”

闻言,店家有些不好意思,低声道:“近来盐贵......”

“如今东京,盐价多少?”刘旸当即追问道。

“哎!”说着便叹了口气,道:“如今已然攀至八十文一斗,比十年前涨了一倍,就是半年前,也才六十七文一斗。”

“为何?”刘旸的脸色眼瞧着不好看了。

“据说,是因为西北叛乱,当地的青白盐运不出来,因而盐价也跟着上涨。”

刘旸闻言,稍一思忖,不由有些恼怒地道:“西北叛乱,与东京何干?东京城内,有多少人是吃青白盐的?”

“官人说得是呀!像我们这样的东京小民,吃的都是扬州盐、沧州盐,或者河中盐,西北离我们太远,青白盐虽好,但也只有那些达官贵人吃得起,西北一乱,各处盐价都跟着涨,还不得不买,哎......”

见其长吁短叹,刘旸沉默几许,换了个话题:“在这市内经营,想来也挺辛苦,可有遇到什么麻烦事?可有官府欺压,无赖滋扰?”

“这......”

见其犹豫,不言自明。谈话间,只见两名青年,晃荡而来,头顶幞头,身着绸布,鼻孔朝天,招摇过市。沿街的买卖人家,都主动打招呼,当然,吸引刘旸注意的,是那些商家摊贩,都拿出铜钱,积极地往他们腰间挂着的口袋里塞,并小心翼翼地恭维着。

到了这店家,老汉也赶忙冲刘旸告罪而去,一样的动作,不知掏了几枚铜钱。而那两名青年,露出了满意的表情。

不过,稍微打量了安坐街边的刘旸两眼,迅速收回目光。顺手还拿了两块鹿肉,就那么啃着离开,沿街而过,可以想见,就这么逛过一条街,他们腰间的口袋能被铜钱塞满。

眼睁睁见着这一幕,刘旸的心头百感交集,他当然清楚这是怎么回事,待店家老汉归来,问道:“交了多少前?”

“十枚!”

“每日都是这般?”

老汉摇头,看得挺开,或者习以为常:“倒也不是,隔三差五罢了。”

“这二人,是什么身份,我看他们可不像税吏,你们起早贪黑,辛苦所得,一日也没有多少,就这么让他们不劳而获,白吃白拿?”刘旸问道。

问到这儿,老汉没有答话,而是想了想,方拱手道:“这位官人显然身份不凡,自不知我等小民的难处。这条街上,已然算好的了,对我们来说,花些钱,买个平安,能安安稳稳地经营,已然足矣,何必自找麻烦。

何况,他们也是代官府收税......”

这最后一句话,可算是触及到了刘旸敏感处,目光凛冽,盯着老汉:“这是怎么回事,还请细说!”

不过这下,老汉已再不敢胡言乱语了,连连摇头,死活不肯多讲。
