Chapter 17 And then to the county
The whole carriage was indeed much faster, and when Shen Shi was about to arrive, the convoy entered Fengxian County and arrived at the compound that Niu Nan helped buy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info dinner was sent to a nearby restaurant, and in the middle of the night, it was a toss and a lot of fairy drunk. After breakfast at dawn, the bluestone was left to wait for the buyer, and Qingsong took the pillar Xiaogang and the black bull to meet the city guard. He offered ten gold again, and then negotiated with the castle guard about vigorously developing pig feeding and grain purchases.
Fengxian County was originally a large output county, and in addition to handing over to the treasury every year, there was a lot of surplus grain in the hands of the squires, especially the Li family, who also organized a convoy to sell it far away. The city guard didn't care what Qing Song bought to do, so he naturally helped vigorously.
Qing Song also proposed that if the county government came forward to buy materials and pay 1 percent more labor fees, the city guard did not agree, saying: "Contributing to the country is a matter that is within the share of officials of all sizes, how can we say that labor fees come from?" Qing Song said: "Originally, it has nothing to do with the county government at this time, although the city guard is dedicated to the people, but this matter is not a few days of labor, and it will take years and months to pay a little labor fee! If the lord promises, my family is willing to use money to repair the official road! First repair the official road from Jinsha City to Fengxian County, and pave it with thick stones, so that the official road will no longer suffer from mud!" Repair the official roads leading to the counties and villages and towns of the county, strengthen the convenience of travel, and shorten the time required on the road, although the county keeper has worked hard and made a lot of achievements, and it is good for the benefit of the people!" The city guard stood up in surprise when he heard this, and said: "Is this true? Your family is really willing to spend such a huge amount of money to repair all the official roads in the county? Do you know that all the official roads in the county are hundreds of miles long, and the money required is calculated in thousands of gold?" Qing Song replied solemnly: "Seriously! Although it is difficult to come up with so much money for a while, my family will send people to send gold ingots every quarter every year for the purpose of cultivating good official roads, so that the officials of the county government will be miserable! If there are some additional labor expenses, my family will be less resisted. ”
Although the city guard Qinggao thought about it carefully, this is also the truth, although the Qingsong family is willing to pay for things, but there are many more officials under him, and fortunately, he will have a grudge against the Qingsong family. When he was in power, he could still use official authority to suppress him, and in the future, he would be old and old and the city guards would be replaced, and these people who could not usually see it would stumble and make damage to the Qingsong family! However, because the Qingsong family bought grain and pigs and shared the labor expenses, the officials under his command must be happy in their hearts and their families were rich! Even if he and Qingsong did their best every year in their lifetime, they could not do all of it! At the moment, he agreed to Qingsong's method and praised Qingsong:" I have never flattered anyone, the old gentleman is worried about the country and the people, and he spares no expense to develop the county's animal husbandry and improve the county's official roads, which is really admired by the officials!
Qing Song thanked him, and then asked the pillar to open the sack that his attendant had brought in, and offered two tubes of pure honey and three hundred pieces of soap to the castle guard, and said to the castle guard: "Inside the bamboo tube is honey produced in the new city, not honey water, this is three hundred pieces of soap." Soap can be used to wash the clothes and body, reduce the power of women to wash clothes, and increase the cleanliness of the people's bodies! Washing clothes saves time and effort, cleans the body to help the people practice etiquette! It is also produced in Xincheng, and it is ready to increase the production in the future and promote it to the people! Then he asked Qing Song, "This thing is very good, and at what price is the old gentleman going to sell it to the people?" Qing Song replied, "If this thing is handed over to the merchants to sell, the people will not be able to use it." My family is going to be handed over to the government to sell in this county and all counties in this county, and my family will be transported to the county town for a price of 20 yuan a piece, and the government will sell it for 30 yuan a piece, but please exempt this item from the tax, what do you want?" The city guard nodded: "This thing weighs about half a catty, and each car can transport 1,000 yuan!" Due to the limited output, it is really not suitable to hand it over to merchants for sale. It is also a good deed to exempt the people from taxes and fees so that they can use it! But the people use the palace for the purpose of disrespecting the king! The old gentleman can use this thing to pay tribute to the king every year, so that the palace can also use this thing to be peaceful!" Qing Song suddenly said: "Thank you Lord Chengshou for mentioning it, but my family is really short of manpower because the road is far away." Can you ask the government to pay tribute on your behalf?" The city guard replied: "This is an inevitable thing! The distance is far away, and it will take half a month for this county to be sent to the next county, and then it is only right to hand over the official documents to the next county, section by section!" Qing Song hurriedly said: "This time there are a thousand pieces of soap and some liquor, and Lord Lao will help transport them to the capital!" After asking how many vehicles he wanted, the city guard sent someone to pick up the goods from the compound where Qing Song had purchased, and Qing Song added a cart of bacon that had been baked for a total of three carts of tribute.
Qing Song also took out the tribute book written on paper and handed it to the city guard, who was a person who knew the goods and asked with a smile: "What is this? I'm afraid that it will also be a tribute in the future, right? Why don't you promote it in this county?" Qing Song also replied with a smile: "My lord can see through it at a glance! This is a famous paper made by Qingzhu, and it is cumbersome to make and is not completely legal." Therefore, from now on, it will not be used as a tribute, but it will be written as a tribute book, so that the king will first know that there is such a thing, and then make tribute and sell it when the method is mature!
The city guard laughed: "The old gentleman is really a wonderful person! One thing is three plans!" Qing Song smiled: "Don't dare! Don't dare! It's really a waste of waste at home, and there is a lack of manpower to make this decision!" After talking about the city guard to keep Qing Song for dinner, Qing Song said goodbye: "Thank you, Lord for your good intentions! I still have a lot of sons and daughters here, if the adults invite each other, I'm afraid that I can eat the adults for several months! There are a lot of things today, so let's change the day! I will come to Japan with my lord!"
After leaving the county office, he went straight to the Soldiers and Horses Division, saw the soldiers and horses envoys, and presented gifts, and thanked the soldiers and horses envoys for taking time to Jinsha City to witness the completion of the transaction! It was nearly noon, and the officials of the Soldiers and Horses Division were invited to have lunch at the largest wine store in the county.
When the money was paid, Niu Nan appeared and refused to accept the food money, and when he was sent away, everyone talked to Qing Song about buying wine! Qing Song said: "The wine obtained this time is now stored in the Jinsha City compound, let Qingshi deal with it, I don't know how much there is, I don't know if you can come to my home in the city to discuss?" Niu Nan called the car driver and returned to the Fengxian County compound with Qing Song. After entering the hall, Qingsong asked about the sale of the immortal drunk in front of the cow man, and Qingshi replied: "One hundred and eighty altars of the second-grade immortals have been sold, and three hundred and sixty altars of the third-grade immortals have been drunk, and the average price is one gold and three taels of gold for the second grade, and nine taels of gold for the third grade." After hearing this, Qing Song stuck to his beard and pretended to be worried, and glanced at Niu Nan who was about to lose his seat before slowly asking Niu Nan: "Brother Niu Nan, you and Qingshi are close friends, do you want to make the business bigger?" Niu Nan stood up and said: "Of course I think about it! Brother Qing Song brought me as much as he brought this time, just give me the average price! Don't sell it anymore, I won't be so good if they buy it!" Qing Song asked, "How much cash do you have?" I brought less this time!" Niu Nan said: "There are five hundred gold, and you can write to make up for the lack of gold!" Qing Song said: " If you are interested, listen to me!" Niu Nan nodded and said, "Please speak!" Qing Song said: "At the price of two grades and one gold, and three grades and seven taels, you don't need to ask anyone to witness, you write down the notes and take away all the immortals drunk! But except for the retail of your liquor store, you are not allowed to sell it in Fengxian County, and you will go to Jinsha City every month to transport as much wine as you want." Each city has a certain market capacity, and you have to think about selling wine by yourself and don't overdo it. Remember to leave some room to make money for others, and you will have a lot less trouble! I estimate that this business can be done for another year, and in a year, there may be someone you and I can't refuse to handle it! I will give you other goods at that time, are you willing?" Niu Nan first replied: "Yes!" He immediately lowered his head and thought about where to sell it within a year! Qing Song saw that he agreed, and said: "If it is a surrounding county, I can ask the Soldiers and Horses Division to send troops to escort your convoy, but you have to give some silver yourself!" With the soldier escort and the official documents of the city guard, you can go to and from the official road in a dignified manner!"
Qing Song took Xiao Gang and the black cow back to the backyard, and the black cow was full of complaints: "It's all about dealing with the old men! It's not fun at all!" Qing Song said: "Go to the camp outside the city tomorrow, your father will be there and you will have fun!" When he was young, Niu Nan sent five hundred gold in five large boxes, and wrote down that he owed seven hundred gold to be returned within three months. One day, he couldn't pull away so much wine, so he hurriedly went to prepare the carriage and horses again. Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, Qingsong asked the pillar to send a hundred catties of bacon to the city guard and the soldiers and horses. I'm afraid that the city guard won't accept it, so the pillar will say to the city guard that it is something that will be promoted, please try it first!
After dawn, he led the convoy to sweep the vegetable market in Fengxian County, and then went to the camp outside the city. The general personally greeted Qing Song at the door: "Brother Shi is here! The 900 military horses I have taken care of for you here are all in good condition! The retired veterans are all back and waiting for you to come!" Qing Song thanked him: "Thank you, Brother Wuregret! This time, I brought some supplies and drinks to comfort the soldiers, and I also have a little heart for Brother Wuregret!"
The black bull saw that the bull was coquettish and wanted to hug the bull, the bull was very powerful in armor, and he was swept away by the whole majesty of his trouble, and he grabbed him in a hurry and took a few hits on his buttocks. After the fight, he hurriedly hugged him: "Naughty and mischievous, he doesn't greet his uncle and grandfather, he just cares about being coquettish!" The black bull hurriedly slipped down: "The black cow greets his uncle and grandfather, his uncle and grandfather are extraordinary, and the black bull finally knows what a general is!" Xiao Gang also shouted: "Meet my uncle and grandpa!"
The general laughed: "I saw Xiao Gang last time, but I felt smart and clever, this time I saw the black bull and felt that the family of the brothers was full of talents and would inevitably rise!" Qing Song said modestly: "There! There! The brothers without regrets have a prominent family background and a long history! Saying that, he entered the barracks, and the black bull was very curious to look here and there, and Xiao Gang pretended to be stupid and cute, and followed the stop-and-go.
The firehead army came to pull away the vegetables, vegetables and meat, and the pillar pointed to the cart carrying the wine to the big tent. The general took Qingsong and the others into the big tent and said to the pillar: "Don't get out of the car for the wine I gave me, wait for me to send someone to bring it home, it's not appropriate to put it here! I haven't drunk it three times last time, and I accidentally let the wolf cubs steal it!" Qingsong smiled: "This time they won't be able to drink it! If they don't have the true qi to protect their bodies, they can drink this, wait for the brothers who have no regrets to put some for them to taste, and keep them afraid to worry about your private collection again!" The general was overjoyed: "This is very good! Let's stuff five altars under my bed first!" Let the wild cow take the two children to play casually in the barracks, the general and Qingsong talked about some trivial matters in the big tent, and it was noon when they talked about some serious things.
The soldiers came running to ask for instructions: "General, lunch has been served, can you serve it?" The general shouted: "Put it in the middle of the school field!" and invited Qing Song to go out of the tent together, Qing Song pointed to a car and said: "This is the soap I just said, this is a thousand brothers without regrets, you can leave 200 yuan for yourself and send it to your family!" The general said: "Thank you, brother! This time, each table was poured with some three-grade immortal drunk, each table had half a catty of bacon slices, and there were thirty tables in the school field that were only able to sit here by some officers, and they were full of praise for this new style of bacon. After the wine and food were full, the general asked the soldiers to open a jar of grain wine, poured a row on the table, and suddenly the aroma of wine came to the nose. The general shouted: "I am not afraid of death! This is a special good wine given to me by my brother! I can't drink something that does not have true qi to protect my body!" A general in his twenties came over: "I would like to give it a try!" The general said to Qingsong: "Brother Qingsong, this is your nephew, my youngest son!" and said to the young general: "Come and meet you Qingsong Shibo! You can be greedy! As far as your little loose true qi is concerned, I don't usually need to work hard to see how you can afford it!" The young general bowed to Qingsong: "Shibo is good! My name is Bai Ping, and the word is always victorious!" There are so many fine wines in Shibo's house, and my nephew will definitely go to bother him in the future!" The general was depressed: "This person has the highest talent, and he is the least talented! He is a foodie all day long! The last time he was drunk with a bowl of second-grade immortals, he was drunk until midnight! Later, he was really diligent, and his skills have increased a lot in the past two months!"
The young general picked up the wine bowl in the past and still knew the severity, but he was afraid that he would be put over again and take a small sip and then screamed: "Eh! I really can't drink it! It's the same as fire!" As soon as the white tiger was really angry, he punched it in the school field before it was resolved and didn't fall! Qing Song smiled and said: "Brother without regrets, you can let people take a little fire to try, this one really burns when you see the fire!" The general smiled: "You don't need to take the fire! Brother Shi, please see!" Stretching out his right hand, the true qi condensed on the side of the wine bowl and snapped his fingers, and all the wine bowls on the table burst out of blue flames next to each other. The generals were stunned and said: "These two fathers and sons don't seem to be acting, this thing is really domineering!" The general regretted: "I originally wanted to order a bowl, but it all ignited." It's a bad thing!" He took the bowl and poured it again, and said, "There are still those who are not afraid of death! Taste it, so as not to worry about my wine in the future!" As a result, all of them are not afraid of death, and one by one they have to taste it! The generals lined up to try it, and more than ten of them fell, and the rest of them were as red as fire and red as sand!
The general said proudly, "Look, I'll try!" Mobilize the true qi to run for a while, and then take a bowl and drink it. The aroma of wine fills the mouth and nose, and the throat and abdomen are like a raging fire, and the strength of the wine instantly moves all over the body. The general jumped back, his true qi rushed away, and the white tiger took shape and steamed up with green flames. The generals said convincingly: "The general is brave! I don't dare to worry about this wine!" The foodie said: "When will Dad's skills rise again?
Removed the banquet and Qingsong into the big tent, let the soldiers guard outside, saying that they had something to discuss. When there were no outsiders, he said to Qing Song: "Brother Shi! This is a good thing! Just now, I drank a bowl and my skills have grown! Do you know? I haven't eaten an inch of this wine for five years? I want to buy it, don't worry! I will buy it and the whole family will use this! If this is also useful to my old man, you are my great benefactor!"
This is something that no one has thought of, Qingsong can't think of it, and Xiaogang can't think of it. However, high-grade baijiu is really effective for many domineering and strong internal strength, and in the countries that produce baijiu on the earth, many traditional exercises have the habit of using baijiu to practice qi. Thinking of this, Xiao Gang recalled the nonsense he had told in the teahouse in his previous life that he could resist beatings and practice qi after drinking. Rheumatism, snake venom treatment, these things are really my own experience. I have never tried it! In my previous life, I had no quarrel with the world, so I didn't need to resist beating! I practiced my martial arts, and I pulled him down! Many bad elements used their practice to indiscriminately pull people to cheat money and sex. This old general said that it was effective after drinking it, and this one has been effective without adding medicinal materials, and it seems that the price of the high stock solution can be better!
Before Xiao Gang could react, he pulled his sleeve to hug him, Qing Song lowered his head and bent down to hug Xiao Gang, only to hear Xiao Gang say: "If you can have good medicinal materials soaked in the wine jar, then seal it well!!It is more effective, but you can't rely on it too much!" Bai Wuregret was extremely excited and didn't notice that Xiao Gang gave Qing Pine a move, only to see Qing Song holding Xiao Gang and standing up straight and saying: "If you can have good medicinal materials soaked in the wine jar, then seal it well! In order to let my old man live longer, the king also sends medicinal herbs every year! Great, great! With this wine, even if we only have seventy percent of the exercises, we can still practice the eighth-layer skill, or even the ninth-layer! This is divine wine! Your family must have been greatly cultivated!"
Qing Song saw that the more nonsense he had, the closer he got to the truth, and quickly stopped: "Brother without regrets, don't harm me! What kind of great creation is there? The divine wine is real, but don't make it known all over the city!"
Bai Wuregret laughed, and then squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Brother Shi, what is the relationship between our two families? Will I harm you? Is it this kind of divine wine that the pillar nephew moved down just now?"
Qing Song nodded and said, "Yes, it's all like this!"
Bai Wuregret said with a hippie smile: "Brother Shi has made a lot of money! You didn't sell this wine as if it was drunk with immortals, did you?"
Qing Song said solemnly: "How can it? Not to mention the high cost, even if I drink the dead, I can't afford to pay for it!
Bai Wuregret jokingly said: "General Ben doesn't mind if you use General Ben as a cotton test scissors, how much else do you have in your family to compensate General Ben!"
Qing Song stared at him: "No regrets, brother, how do you see my figure? Take me to squeeze oil and see how much you can get?"
After a while, the two of them had enough of laughing and sent everyone to let their own soldiers take them to the barracks to play casually, and the two of them stayed in the camp to talk secretly!
Finally, there was no need to chat with the old men, and the black bull pulled Xiao Gang to run here and there, and suddenly saw a chariot that had to go up to play. The adults disagreed, but the soldiers said: "It's okay, this is the general's car is rarely used here, now there is no horse, let's play!" The two little guys don't need the help of adults, you pull me to step on the big wheels and climb up, and the black bull giggled and pulled Xiaogang to play for a long time. While playing, Xiao Gang looked at the five-foot-wide square body, the six-foot-wide round umbrella cover, the two-foot-five wall, the four-foot-high wheels, and the seven-foot-long axle. If the cart had sheathed up with enough horses to sprint, the cavalry would probably have to be crushed. It's a pity that it can't be used to transport goods, and Xiao Gang doesn't like to fight for a while and is not interested. The black bull was so interested that he had to pull Xiao Gang to play, and Xiao Gang had no choice but to sit in the car and watch the black bull play! After a while, the general and Qing Song came out of the big tent, and the general called Bai Changsheng and went over to explain a few words, and let the son of the nickname foodie leave the camp with Qing Song. Along the way, Qing Song was very silent and worried, the foodie was very happy and proud, Hei Niu was very sorry that he didn't let the chariot put on the war horse and run a few laps, and Xiao Gang continued to be cute.
Back in Fengxian County, everyone had nothing to do this time, until a few days later, Qingsong suddenly shouted to leave for home.
