"It turned out to be Brother Qiu! The three of us and Brother Qiu hit it off at first sight, I wonder if Brother Qiu appreciates his face and sits at the same table with me? ”

Qiu Hao looked at the three teenagers in front of him in surprise, only to feel that the other three were not as old as him, but they were all precocious, and said with a smile: "Happy!"

The four of them were seated, and the shopkeeper brought a large tray from the back of the hall, and then put three pots of wine on his hands and feet, and added a wine glass to the table.

Since he walked into the teahouse, Qiu Hao has been looking around, no way, just crossed over, every flower and grass are antiques, and the ancient buildings are even more attractive, cough, even the shopkeeper who was wearing a long rag on his shoulders just now was stared at by him from head to toe for more than ten seconds, and finally locked on the big wine jar on the corner of the counter, and the word "wine" hanging high on the pole.

At the same time, the three people at the table were also looking at Qiu Hao, and found that Qiu Hao was not only dressed in strange clothes, but even his hair was short, and he looked very much like a monk who had not been a monk for a long time, but the three of them felt that it was not, and it felt strange overall.

Tang Hua lifted the wine jug and skillfully filled Qiu Hao with wine, and then gave it to Du Lingwen and Yan Song, and said, "Brother Qiu, do you think that there is a teahouse plaque hanging outside the building, but there is wine selling in the hall, it feels very strange?"

Du Lingwen continued: "Actually, this was indeed a teahouse before, but unfortunately the business has been bleak in recent years, so it has been changed to sell both tea and alcohol, but the plaque has not been replaced!"

Yan Song also said in a sullen voice: "Taste tea in prosperous times, drink in troubled times!"

Qiu Hao retracted his gaze and said casually: "I don't think it's strange, I just think it's very novel!"

"Novelty?"

Tang Hua grabbed the key word and repeated, and then looked Qiu Hao up and down again, and found that Qiu Hao was tall and mild-bearing, and he should not be a barbarian who often offended Qiong, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Brother Qiu, in fact, I am also curious, because Brother Qiu's clothes are very different from me!"

"Exactly, the clothes on my brother Guanqiu's body are not only bright and bright in color, tight stitches, but even the material and style are inexplicably chic, I have never seen it in Daming, it is really strange!" Du Lingwen said with a smile.

Dressed like Qiu Hao, without a long shirt covering the shin clothes on his legs, it is just like traveling in pajamas, in the past, it must have been criticized by the scholars for "bad morals", but now the people are not living, and there are too many people who do not cover their clothes, so Qiu Hao's situation is much better, although it looks strange, but at least it is extremely clean and more exquisite.

Qiu Hao doesn't know what they think, otherwise he will definitely complain, the mainstream casual clothes in the future, of course you haven't seen it!

At this time, Yan Song was puzzled: "I look at Brother Qiu's face, which is no different from my Han people, but where did I come from, Dongying?" Or Luzon? ”

The other party's posture is to check the identity! Dongying, of course not, as for Luzon, it is estimated that it has now been occupied by Spain.

Qiu Hao shook his head, he didn't plan to explain anything, but said: "I plan to settle in Qiongzhou Mansion, and everyone will be neighbors in the future!"

Seeing that Qiu Hao did not explain his origin, Tang Hua and the three of them glanced at each other, and they didn't care, there were too many people who had lost their identities due to the chaos in these years, and even now, there are often unidentified hungry people crossing Qiong, and they can't be taken care of at all.

Du Lingwen secretly glanced at the huge yellow Puma outside the teahouse, he was really happy in his heart, and said tentatively: "Brother Qiu, since you have decided to settle in Qiongzhou Mansion, you don't need to come to the horse outside, why don't you transfer it to me, I will pay a hundred taels of silver, how about it?"

Du Lingwen hurriedly said: "I'll give one hundred taels of silver, plus a good ploughing cow!"

Tang Hua suddenly heard that his friend intervened in the price, and said angrily: "Brother Du, I took a fancy to that horse first?"

"Wrong, I fell in love with it first!"

Du Lingwen did not give in, the horses of the Ming Dynasty are divided into five grades, respectively, on the horse, on the horse, in the horse, off the horse and the foal, now the Ming Dynasty is fighting all over the country, the price of horses has soared greatly, even if it is a lower grade horse in the north, it is worth twenty taels, the south has always lacked horses and the price is higher, and Qiu Hao's Huang Puma is extremely handsome and burly, there is no doubt that it is on the horse, and even better horses, before the two said that they would partner to defect to Emperor Longwu, and it is expected that as long as this horse is sacrificed, it will be appreciated by Emperor Longwu, and then it will be able to show its ambitions......

So, he didn't want to miss the horse!

It's a pity that Qiu Hao didn't take care of the two, the Great Sage is a mount that he is extremely optimistic about, how can he sell it?

He lifted the wine glass, and found that the wine in the glass was actually as red as wine, but he was sure that it was definitely not wine, and then put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and found that it actually smelled of champagne, and was very curious: "Everyone, what kind of wine is this?"

Yan Songwu drank a glass of himself and said: "It is the Shanlan wine of Wuzhi Mountain, which is brewed from the unique Shanlan rice of Wuzhi Mountain, and the wine is buried in the ground, and the wine is yellow-orange in one year, and it is this magnificent red after a few years!"

Qiu Hao was slightly stunned, he knew that there was a Wuzhi Mountain in Qiong Province, but he didn't expect that there was rice planted on Wuzhi Mountain, so he put the wine in front of him and shook it, and said in surprise: "This red wine is actually rice wine, it shouldn't be dyed, right?"

Yan Song explained: "It's not dyed, Shanlan rice itself is known as 'rice ginseng', and the color is purple, so the wine will naturally have color!"

"Rice ginseng! What a big breath, could it be that Shanlan rice is the local spiritual rice of Qiong Province? ”

Qiu Hao muttered in his heart, and then raised his glass and drank it all, feeling that the red wine was very fragrant, spicy and sweet, and it was rare that there was really a trace of spiritual energy in the wine, indicating that Shanlan rice was indeed a kind of spiritual rice, but this was only a glass of wine, and it was not clear which of Shanlan rice was superior to the Zhang's spiritual rice that he was optimistic about before.

At this time, Tang Hua and Du Lingwen didn't argue, the two seemed to have reached an agreement, put down the matter of buying a horse for the time being, Tang Hua asked, "Brother Qiu, how is Shanlan wine?"

"Good wine!" Qiu Hao nodded, and began to think about whether to plant Shanlan rice, originally he wanted to go to Chengdu Mansion in this era, and then collect the kind of Zhang's spiritual rice in later generations, but suddenly remembered that there was a killing madman Zhang Xianzhong in Chengdu Mansion, and the people who had already tossed Chengdu Mansion were not happy, he immediately dispelled his idea, thinking that maybe it was not bad to transform the local Shanlan rice, and it was a big deal to consume more spiritual energy.

Tang Huaxi said: "It's right to like it, this pot of good Shanlan wine will cost me a penny of silver, I usually don't want to drink it, but now that I see Brother Qiu, I only ask for three pots at a time!"

Qiu Hao didn't think much about it when he heard this, one or two pieces of silver at the end of the Ming Dynasty were equivalent to five or six hundred yuan of the original time and space, and three coins of silver were only one or two hundred yuan, although the background of the times was different, and the actual purchasing power was not so calculated, but how could he care!

Tang Hua saw that Qiu Hao was just drinking with his head bored, raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Qiu, what are your plans in the future, it is to settle in our Lingao. county, or move to another place? ”

"Huh? It turns out that this is Lingao! ”

Qiu Hao said suddenly, according to the information obtained from the investigation, there were thirteen counties in Qiongzhou at the end of the Ming Dynasty, among which the three counties of Lingao, Chengmai and Qiongshan connected in the north have been developed, and they are the areas with the largest number of Han people.

However, Qiu Hao's first choice for settling down is not the three northern counties, but the gratitude of the western part of Qiongzhou Prefecture. County.

Choose to be grateful. There are three reasons for the county, one is that there is a Thanksgiving Plain formed by the impact of rivers in Thanksgiving County, which has a size of one million mu in later generations, and is the largest plain in Qiong Province; The second is the gratitude of the Ming Dynasty. The officialdom of the county is relatively vacuum, first of all, it is directly under the jurisdiction of Yazhou, which borders the east, and Jinyiwei is bordered by Changhua in the north. The remote control of the county's defense of thousands of households is really a remote area that grandma doesn't love and grandpa doesn't love, and it is the most suitable for him to build a large number of buildings; Third, there is no need to face the mainland like the three counties of Lingao, Chengmai and Qiongshan in the north, and there is no need to worry too much about the attack of the Southern Ming army and the Qing army in the future.

The three people present didn't know Qiu Hao's thoughts, Tang Hua nodded and said: "That's right, this is Lingao, and it is also one of the counties with the most Han people in Qiongzhou Prefecture, I suggest that Brother Qiu settle in our county!"

Qiu Hao shook his head when he heard this: "I want to be grateful. county, and then buy land. ”

Du Lingwen was puzzled: "What, I actually want to be grateful. County, there is a wilderness, where can we compare here! And to go to Thanksgiving County, you need to make a detour to Danzhou and Changhua, and there are many robbers and bandits along the way, which is really dangerous, Brother Qiu thinks twice! ”

Yan Song stopped drinking and also persuaded: "Actually, we have fields in Lingao, why run so far?"

Tang Hua sneered: "Also, as the so-called 'strong man is a ding, ten acres of land', Brother Qiu is alone but has a thousand acres in his heart, it's really... Laugh at me and wait! ”

Qiu Hao didn't care, the three people in front of him only knew their ambitions, so they had to say: "Who said that I only planted a few acres of land, and then I would recruit more tenants!"

At this time, in troubled times, you can recruit people by giving a bite of food, so Qiu Hao didn't worry about the shortage of manpower.

Hey? Tang Hua suddenly stopped laughing, and said in surprise: "Then how many acres of land do you want to buy?"

"The more the merrier, at least a thousand acres!" Qiu Hao didn't say tens of thousands of acres, because he estimated that the first season needed spiritual rice breeding, and 1,000 mu was enough.

"At least a thousand acres?"

Du Lingwen was puzzled: "My family doesn't have so much land!" In Qiongzhou Mansion, the average low-level landlord is this number, but do you have so much silver, do you want to go to a good paddy field? Or is it dry land in general? ”

Although Qiu Hao wanted to say that all paddy fields were needed, he also knew that paddy fields were rare, so he said: "Paddy fields and dry fields are fine!"

"That's it!"

Tang Hua touched his chin, then probed left and right, and then said in a low voice: "Last year, a major event happened in our county, Fu Yuanhao, the leader of the Li people, destroyed the county government with thousands of Shengli and Shuli, and killed many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, even the county officials, the chief bookkeeper, and the warden died, leaving only a lonely Huazhi County."

Qiu Hao's eyes widened, there was such a thing? The chief bookkeeper, the county clerk, and the warden all assisted the magistrate to do things, at least equivalent to the bureau chief in later generations, and they were killed by the mob...... cough, this kind of thing seems to be really nothing in ancient times, and he doubted: "So what, I think I should leave, because it's too dangerous to stay here!"

"Don't worry, listen to me!" Tang Hua shook his index finger and continued: "That riot lasted from last year to March this year, and it was not suppressed until the Tartars sent troops!"

"Tartars send troops?" Qiu Hao knew that there was a Qing army in Qiongzhou Mansion, so he was not surprised, but he didn't expect that the Qing army would be able to put down thousands of Li riots, maybe the riots have weakened a lot after a year, but he speculated that the strength of the Qing army should not be weak.

Tang Hua said in a deep voice: "Yes, but after the Tartars sent troops to quell down, they retreated soon after. What I want to say is that because of the riots, the big families in the county have moved out one after another in the past two years, most of them have moved to the neighboring Chengmai and Qiongshan counties in the east, and some have gone to Danzhou, which borders the south. In my opinion, as long as you have money, let alone a thousand acres of paddy fields, even if you have 10,000 acres of paddy fields, you have to buy them! ”

Qiu Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the danger was thrown aside, and he said with great interest: "It's actually like this, there are really 10,000 acres of paddy fields?"

"Yes!"
