Chapter 407: Leng Shui Han's True Identity
It's really a coincidence, this person is also the main subject of choice, and it is a subset of scripture and history. The identity is Xiucai, who will prepare for the imperial examination in the future, and is in the same class as Li Rui.
Li Rui came to Qingshan Academy and made rapid progress. Because I was new this year and tall and tall, I was placed in the last row. Sit in the back seat. Originally, he was the only one, but I didn't expect a new classmate to come today!
Cold water and cold lively, Li Rui is shrewd, the two have good knowledge, they hit it off, and they became friends in one morning.
Both of them came from other places to study, and their circumstances were similar, and the two were very curious about Guangling Mansion and talked about some of the latest interesting things.
"Oh, there's a place to listen to books, the story is really interesting, I went to listen to it on the first day I came to Guangling Mansion." Leng Shuihan exclaimed, "I have asked the little maid to buy me a ticket, and after school, I have eaten, and I will listen to the evening show." ”
Li Rui was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The Tingshu Tea Pavilion belongs to my family, if you like it, I will sell you a monthly pass at a discounted price." With that ticket, you can go and listen to the story every night. ”
Brother, you have to settle the account, Li Rui can give a preferential price, but it will definitely not be given in vain, after all, he has just met, and he is not his own person.
"Oh, Brother Li, it's really a real person who doesn't show up, there is such a good place at home." Leng Shuihan exclaimed, "Okay, I want a monthly pass for the evening, we are classmates, you can give some more discounts." ”
"Ninety-five fold." Li Rui replied that this is a discount for buying a monthly pass, and it is said that it is a discount, so naturally it cannot be purchased at the original price.
"Ninety-five fold, this is too little. We hit it off at first sight, you're embarrassed to make my brother's money. Leng Shuihan glared and said, "Eight folds!" ”
"No, at least nine percent off, it can't be lower." Li Rui saw that Leng Shui was cold like this, and gritted his teeth to reduce the price.
Leng Shui was shameless, which was famous in the mountains, and squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "The highest eighty-five fold, you are my brother!" ”
"Brother, settle accounts. The story of our family is good. The dim sum is delicious, you can't hear it anywhere else, and it's full of people every day, at least eighty-eight percent off. Eighty-eight big hair. The picture is auspicious. Li Rui finally relented. If the person doesn't agree, forget it.
Leng Shui Han couldn't hold it down, so he had to nod and say, "Okay then." I'll give you money later. ”
Leng Shui Han was hanging on the surface, and he was scheming with Li Rui, but in fact, he was also observing Li Rui. As for the clever Li Rui, isn't he observing the cold water?
Through a competition, we got to know each other to a certain extent.
Leng Shuihan went to listen to the story after class every day, and when he came back in the evening, he recorded the story and asked people to take it back to his mother. After going back and forth, the relationship between Li Rui and Leng Shuihan is getting better and better, but when the two are bargaining, it is a bit miserable.
After a long time, Leng Shui Han and Du Wulang, Du Jiumei and others became familiar, and when several people gathered, Leng Shui Han would also follow.
Leng Shui Han is a jump-out, funny, and funny, so he quickly became friends with everyone and mingled. At the same time, Leng Shui Han has also accumulated a lot of stories, which people secretly give to their mothers.
Mrs. Leng, who was in Yandang Lake, saw several bound letters sent by her son, and then looked at the one that read "Everything is fine, don't read it!" The thin note is extremely proud, and the son has a good relationship with his mother when he grows up. No, when I went to the field, I wrote several letters to her.
Mrs. Leng watched these stories with relish, almost to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, and was strongly protested by Master Leng. However, Mrs. Leng still did not forget, and sent someone to ask her son to send more stories.

In the blink of an eye, the winter wheat is ripe.
The Tian family has few idle months, and people are busy in May. The south wind rose at night, and the wheat was covered with yellow. The woman and aunt eat lotus, and the child carries the pot pulp.
This is the case in the fields of Gwangneung Province, where adults and children come together to get their food home as soon as possible and pray for good weather. After harvesting the wheat here, threshing as soon as possible, and then letting the children and the elderly dry the grain on the threshing floor and watch the grain.
The women and men began to grow maize, sorghum and rice.
Because of the drought and lack of rain in winter, most of the land of the people was planted with wheat, and some uneven fields were planted with rapeseed. Summer crops, however, are very demanding on the land.
low-lying and flat, easy to irrigate, can grow rice; Those with high terrain and poor water diversion are planted with drought-resistant crops.
God is merciful, and the sky has been clear during this time when he was busy harvesting. Even though it was very hot, the people were sweating like rain, but the smiles on their faces revealed the true joy in their hearts.
In previous years, after planting rice, sorghum, and corn, everyone began to pay taxes, but King Guangling exempted this year and next year's taxes, and the harvest of the two years belonged to himself.
There is a lot more grain at home, and I originally wanted to sell more grain in exchange for some money, but the price of grain merchants was 20% lower than in the past.
This made the people of Guangling Mansion angry and scolded their mothers, and all the favors given by the king of Guangling were squeezed out by these grain merchants from other places. Don't sell it, don't sell a single pill, keep it for your own consumption, or sell it again in a few months.
Those grain merchants are not afraid, anyway, the common people are counting on land, and there is no other income, so they can only sell grain. Don't sell it now, hmph, wait, and when you want to sell it, drop it by another percent.
Outside the city of Guangling Prefecture, nine granaries were built to prepare for the purchase of local grain.
Du Dashan did this special thing and took more than 200,000 taels of silver from his family. They buy local grain and use it to make wine. Wheat may not be the best raw grain for sake brewing, but with sake fruit, the amount of sake produced will not decrease, and the taste will not be bad.
Song Ming, Chen Qiao, Feng Xiang and others sent people to the villages below Guangling Mansion to post posters and buy a large amount of grain, five cents per catty of wheat, which was the most expensive price.
There are many people who don't believe it, but most of the people believe in the prestige of King Guangling, so they pull a small number of bags of grain to sell first, try it, but it didn't come to pass, it turned out to be true, inspect on the spot, weigh on the spot, give money on the spot, and never default.
Du Dashan set up purchase points at the four city gates, strictly implemented the purchase standards, and for a time, many people pulled grain from all directions to the city gates.
A steady stream of grain was sent to the granary, and there was more and more grain, and the money became less and less.
However, the price of wheat was very high, and there were those who cheated and cheated on it, and they actually bought old grain, and they were directly reported by the person in charge of inspecting the grain, and they were locked in a cell, and more than a dozen people were sent down in a row, and no one dared to take advantage of the loophole.
Du Dashan's action of collecting grain was mighty and unconcealed.
The local people clapped their hands to celebrate, thanking the King of Guangling and the son of King Guangling, and they were very popular in the local area. (To be continued.) )
