In the living room, the man in Xuanyi sat on a chair with a gentle face, and was holding a teacup and sipping tea. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Xia Nan arrived, the man raised his head, and his gaze on Xia Nan did not change in the slightest, but the corners of his lips hooked up a smile, and he looked light.
"Miss Xia, it's a good luck."
"I'm tired of Jiang Sigongzi coming, and I'm not welcome."
The two looked at each other and smiled, Xia Nan sat on the main seat, and Hu Hai sat below Jiang Si.
"I don't know why the fourth prince Jiang came here today?"
Jiang Si's eyes remained silent and looked at Xia Nan, with a gentle smile on his face.
"I heard that the crops of the Xia family are not very good recently, so I came to greet them, and at the same time there is a cooperation, I wonder if Miss Xia is interested in hearing about it?"
"The news of the fourth prince Jiang is really well-informed." Xia Nan didn't answer his words, but such an attitude made Jiang Si can't help but look at her a few more times.
He also saw that Xia Nan intended to maneuver, but he just picked something else to say.
"Don't dare to be. I heard that Miss Xia ordered those tenants to go to the land again, didn't Miss Xia know that nothing could be planted in this land? ”
"Thank you Fourth Prince Jiang for reminding me, I will pay more attention to this matter."
Xia Nan's attitude was very gentle, but she couldn't deny his words, she deliberately circled her words, and she didn't let him tell her purpose.
Jiang Si saw that Xia Nan's oil and salt did not enter, and a touch of strangeness crossed his eyes.
He didn't know anything about this eldest lady of the Xia family from the capital, on the contrary, he knew a lot.
These dozens of acres of land have always been the land of Xiaweihou Mansion in the capital, but if you really want to calculate it exactly, it is not Xiaweihou's land, this land was originally Luoyang Rong's land, the third lady of the Rong family who was famous in the capital married into Xiaweihou's Mansion, and these dozens of acres of land in Huainan are her dowry, but unfortunately the beauty Fanghua died early, and these fields were under the management of Xiaweihou's Mansion, as for who was in charge, he was far away in Huainan, and it was not clear.
Looking at the appearance of the person in front of him, he didn't look like a person who came to take charge, but like the sister of Xia Weihou's Mansion, but as far as he knew, there were only two concubines in the Xia family's big house, one entered the heavenly family and became the lady concubine of the favored harem, and the other concubine was appointed to be the second young master of the Weiguo Mansion a month ago.
As for the concubines in the other rooms, they are far from the one in front of them.
Although he is young, he has also run a lot of rivers and lakes, and he has seen a lot of people, and his eyes are very vicious.
Xia Nan knows how to be sleek and sleek, she is sophisticated, her face does not change when she treats people, she is very sophisticated, not as restrained and shy as some boudoir ladies.
"Miss Xia might as well listen to the following thoughts."
Xia Nan nodded lightly, and finally agreed.
"I want to hear about it."
"These crops have been ravaged by locusts, and now they are planted again, but I am afraid that it will not be long before the locusts will attack again, but it will be another heavy loss." Jiang Si looked at Xia Nan with bright eyes, and then heard him say again, "Jiang Si is not talented, some home remedies that have been more or less common in business in recent years, just know a kind of home remedies on how to control locusts, if Miss Xia cooperates with the Jiang family, then the locust plague will not be able to harm the Xia family." ”
His words were extremely good, and Xia Nan remembered what the peasant woman said, in the locust plague, only the Jiang family was not half harmed, and the other crops were all lost.
But how can there be a free lunch in the world, Jiang Si is sleek, how can he really want to help her, the businessman is very profitable, if she doesn't come up with enough benefits, how can he help her?
"I don't know what the conditions are for the fourth son of Jiang?"
"Miss Xia is a cheerful person, so Jiang Si said bluntly. In Huainan, where the Xia family is located, the Jiang family is divided into half. ”
"Half?"
Xia Nan frowned, this half, but it is a huge number.
Huainan these dozens of acres of heaven and earth, when the crops grew very well, each ripe can have at least 1,000 stones, this thousand stones of rice can be sold for at least 800 taels of silver, two crops a year is 1,600 taels, according to the rent of 40 percent, the hand over is 640 taels of silver, 640 taels a year, this amount is not a lot, long-term accumulation, this is a huge amount of money.
and divide half of it, and lose three hundred and twenty taels of silver in a year.
Three hundred and twenty taels is nothing for a rich family, but it is enough for a family to eat and drink for a lifetime.
Seeing Xia Nan frowning tightly, Jiang Si's face was still warm, and he smiled lightly.
"Miss Xia might as well think about it, although this land was harvested well before, but it is not now, now that the locust plague is not eliminated, this land will sooner or later become a wasteland, and at that time, this land will be worthless. If Miss Xia cooperates with us, then the problem of this locust plague will be solved. Jiang Si's words stopped at the point.
"Miss, I think...... This might as well be a good way, now this crop will not suffer from locust plague again, besides, those tenants ......" Hu Hai looked at Xia Nan with worry in his eyebrows.
Xia Nan didn't look at him, but looked at Jiang Si, Jiang Si looked at her, and the two looked at each other, as if they wanted to see each other's thoughts clearly.
"Jiang Gongzi, I need to think about this matter, and please give me a little time."
Xia Nan's words show that she can indeed be the master.
Hearing this, Jiang Si raised his eyebrows.
"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll leave now, if Miss Xia thinks about it, it's okay to tell Jiang again."
Hu Hai sent Jiang Si away, and Xia Nan looked at the backs of the two, his eyes were indifferent.
"Miss......"
Baoyue looked at Xia Nan's face, and saw that her face was indifferent, so she didn't scream in surprise.
Xia Nan smiled back and said no more.
When she got out of the living room, she went back to the house, hugged the moon and fetched the ink for her, and Xia Nan picked up the pen and wrote.
Soon, Baoyue sealed the envelope and went to Mr. Tong to ask him to send the letter back to the capital.
Xia Nan is where the landlord planted a few pots of begonia flowers, the begonias bloom delicately, the sun shines, the whole petals reveal a gorgeous color, very attractive, but Xia Nan has no time to enjoy the flowers, looking at these begonias but feel a little dazzling.
Yan Jue said that she is now a white child in the chess game, and if she wants to play a good game, she has to see her next move.
After two days of understanding, she may have guessed where this game is.
Whose chess game is it that wants to swallow the crop?
While she was looking at the begonia flowers, she didn't know that someone was looking at her.
The purple robe has a straight waist, and his face is as handsome as a knife, and he is standing by the window at the moment looking at it.
The dark shadow behind him followed his line of sight, and he saw a delicate figure behind a cluster of extremely delicate begonia flowers.
The black shadow's pupils shrank, looking at the straight back, and stopped talking.
"Say whatever you want." A low, melodious voice came from the mouth of the back and fell into the ears of the man behind him, like thunder.
"The subordinates don't dare."
There was silence again.
After a long time, there was no figure in front of the begonia flower, so he moved and sat back at the table.
"How's it going?"
"Back to the master, this assassination was indeed done by King Ming."
Hearing this, although he had no other look on his face, the fingers resting on the pear blossom wood carving table were slightly tapped on the table, and it was very rhythmic.
After a while, he said.
"What have I commanded you to do?"
The black shadow was stunned, he blinked, and then bit his lip.
said, "Master, Ah San doesn't know, why do you want to help her, our task this time is already arduous, if the Jiang family is involved again, I'm afraid it will be ......."
"Mouthy."
The word cold and cold, there was nothing to say, but the breath in the air dropped suddenly, and Ah San was stunned, not daring to refute again.
Yan Jue's eyes were cold, and his thin lips were lightly opened.
"Although the Jiang family is a merchant, its status is no different from that of the Fang family, the two families are rich and rival the country, and the rich are rivaling the country, but they have always stood tall, do you know why?"
As soon as Yan Jue's words came out, the black shadow was silent.
"The Jiang family is attached to the King of Ming, but the King of Ming does something to the people of the royal family, but the Jiang family secretly collects many fields, what is the meaning."
Hearing this, the black shadow was even more shocked, and he couldn't even say half a sentence.
This answer is very scary to think about.
"The little ones will do it."
Ah San was about to leave, but a deep voice came from behind him.
"No need."
Ah San was puzzled, but the man turned his head and looked out the window, as if he had landed on the delicate begonia.
"She can."

Everyone in the crops was mournful and complaining, and their faces were depressed.
The land they had just planted yesterday was in a miserable situation today, and after a burst of locusts, almost all the seedlings were devastated, and none of them were spared.
When someone saw Hu Hai coming over, they couldn't help but hold him and complained.
Hu Hai got along very well with these tenants on weekdays, and these tenants respected him very much.
"Steward Hu, what do you say the eldest lady from the owner wants to do? Earlier, she said that this land could not be planted again, but she was coming, and now it is okay, the seedlings that were just planted yesterday are now in this tragic situation! ”
That person was the man who talked to Xia Nan that day, he had a deep grudge against Xia Nan, and today when he saw that the crops were destroyed again, the anger in his heart did not spontaneously combust.
Hu Hai also frowned at all this, and sighed, "Eh, I don't know what the owner thinks, this land is the owner's land, and we can't control what the owner wants to do." ”
"But it's about our food rations for a year!" The man was furious, "The owner can ignore his willfulness, but we have to pay a heavy price for it, such a host, we were blind to choose him!" ”
After the man finished speaking, some people echoed.
"That's it, I think this eldest lady is a woman who doesn't understand anything, and I really don't know why the old lady sent such a delicate lady here, what does she know, she doesn't understand any of these farm work, and now this is a miserable thing for us!"
"If only there was a way to drive away the locusts! If this continues, our hundreds of tenants will starve to death! ”
The emotions of the tenants were ignited, and they were filled with righteous indignation.
Seeing this, Hu Hai's eyes flashed with joy.
I saw his originally slightly drooping head raised slightly, and he said, "Actually...... It's not impossible. ”
As soon as his words came out, the eyes of all the tenants immediately lit up.
A group of people scrambled to ask.
"Method, what is the method?"
"Butler, you should hurry up!"
"That's it!"
Hu Hai saw that everyone was eager, and all of them were full of joy in their eyes, so he stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
Then listen to him.
"It's not like there's no way. You also know that no matter last year's or this year's locust plague, the Jiang family's land has never been harmed by locusts. ”
The man was the first to speak, "Yes, in these locust plagues, the Jiang family has not suffered half of the disaster, but has achieved a good harvest. ”
Seeing him say it, Hu Hai smiled on his face.
"This is the method I am talking about, the fourth son of the Jiang family asked me to find the eldest lady of our owner today, and wanted to provide us with a way to get rid of locusts, so that we can have a harvest next year."
As soon as his words came out, I saw a group of tenants with a happy face.
"Great, the Jiang family is actually willing to lend a helping hand and help us!"
Some people are happy, others are also suspicious.
"The Jiang family is a big family in Huainan, why do you want to help us, but what are the conditions?"
"Yes, but it's not that difficult."
"Since it's not a difficult matter, has the eldest lady of the proprietor agreed?"
The tenants were anxious to find out.
But Hu Hai shook his head and sighed softly.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh, and then someone frowned fiercely, "Why didn't the eldest lady agree to the Jiang family's request, since it is not a difficult matter, why should the Jiang family not be helped, so that the Jiang family can help us drive away the locusts, the eldest lady should not know the situation here!" But if she doesn't agree to the Jiang family's request even though she knows how serious this situation is, it will put us to death! We have worked for the Xia family all our lives, and we live by the Xia family, isn't the name of our cadre not as good as a condition of the Jiang family?! ”
As soon as this man's words came out, the audience was silent, and then he was echoed for a while.
The men seemed to be ignited and began to complain.
When everyone had almost vented their grievances, they were dejected again.
"Don't complain here, the eldest lady didn't agree, nor did she not agree, but she looked very hesitant and hesitant." Hu Hai gave them another dose of strengthening.
Hearing this, there was a man whose eyes were even brighter.
"The eldest lady hasn't responded to the Jiang family yet? Does that mean that if we go to the eldest lady now, maybe it will be useful? ”
The man's eyes lit up, and when the rest of the people heard this, they also looked at Hu Hai with burning eyes.
Under everyone's attention, Hu Hai finally nodded his head.
"Then let's hurry up and beg the eldest lady!"
So far, what is more important than their food and clothing in the next year, even if they can't get used to the delicate girl of the eldest lady, but now they have the most right to speak, and the only one who can save them is this delicate girl.
With this man's proposal, the group of people immediately headed towards Hu Hai's mansion.
Hu Hai didn't say anything about it, and let the little guy guarding the door open the door and let the tenant in.
Xia Nan was invited out by Hu Hai, and when she saw the large group of people in the courtyard, she was even more puzzled.
Before she could ask, she heard a man shouting below.
"Please help us!"
"Please help us!" (To be continued.) )
