Chapter Twenty-Six: The Salted Fish Turns Over
(Ask for recommendation, ask for collection...) )
Today's weather is good, sunny and sunny, perfect for going out.
Beside the artificial lake in Liang Garden, a group of eunuchs gathered under a weeping willow by the lake, or standing, or squatting, bragging and farting, it was so painful.
"I didn't expect Brother Li to be able to sell that stinky pond at the price of fertile land, and the younger brother really admires it!"
A boy in a green shirt smiled at Li Shouqi.
Another person said: "Such a gratifying and congratulatory thing, Brother Li has to invite everyone to have a meal!" ”
Everyone immediately coaxed and demanded that Li Shouqi be the east.
"Hey..." A slightly chubby boy suddenly put the folding fan in the middle, "Let's talk about this slowly." As he spoke, he said to Li Shoujian again: "Shouji, don't blame me for being a brother who doesn't listen to what he says." ”
Li Shouqi was stunned for a moment, and said, "Brother Chen, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
The fat boy surnamed Chen said: "If you want me to say, this matter has nothing to do with you, if you want to admire, you have to admire Xu Jirong's fool, only he can spend so much money to buy such a stinky pond." ”
When the surrounding boys heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.
These people often take pleasure in laughing at others, otherwise their lives will become very boring.
After they laughed, Li Shouqi smiled and said: "Brother Chen is right, this matter really has nothing to do with me, it was all done by that thin monkey, of course, it is none other than Xu Jirong who has made the greatest contribution, so you have to go to him for a treat, his credit is the greatest!" ”
"Brother Li, you are really murderous, people bought such a big stinky pond, and let people treat them."
There was another burst of laughter.
"Young Master! Master! ”
Suddenly, a servant ran over, sweating profusely, panting and saying to Li Shouqi: "Young master, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good." ”
Li Shouqi frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”
The servant first glanced left and right, then strode to Li Shouqi's side and whispered in his ear.
"What?"
Before the servant finished speaking, Li Shouqi exclaimed.
The son on the side hurriedly asked, "Brother Li, what's wrong?" ”
Li Shouqi frowned slightly, and arched his hand: "Everyone, I'm really sorry, something happened at home, I have to rush back immediately." ”
With that, he hurried away, but instead of returning home, he rode a fast horse to their grange in the western suburbs.
As soon as I came to the Grange, I saw a group of people arguing fiercely at the edge of the field in the distance.
"You can't do that! If you do that, our crops will all be killed. ”
"Please, these pests really can't be planted!"
"We are planting in our own fields, what do we have to do with you, if you don't get out of the way, be careful that I beat you."
At this time, Li Shouqi arrived, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, pointed at the strong man with a horsewhip, and shouted: "Who dares to do it? ”
The big man glanced at Li Shouji, seemed to be a little stunned, and stepped back.
A middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Shouqi coming, and immediately ran over and said, "Young master, you can be regarded as coming, if you don't come again, our Zhuangtian will be completely ruined." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the strong men who were "farming", "Look at what they are planting, they are all pests that are very harmful to the crops, if they really plant those pests here, our farms will be finished." ”
Li Shouqi was furious when he heard this, and pointed at the strong man who was the leader and said, "Who made you do this?" ”
This farm is the best fertile land for their family, and the grain they eat comes from this farm, and the farmers who cultivate here are not tenant farmers, but their domestic slaves, and now it is early spring, and there is a problem at this time, and the loss is incalculable.
"It's me!"
I saw a white-faced boy brother walking over with a spring palace fan in his hand, which was really out of the sky.
This son is Xu Jirong.
Li Shouqi frowned slightly and asked, "It turns out that Brother Xu Xian, why did you do this?" ”
"Alas... I'm helpless. ”
Xu Jirong Chungong fanned and said: "I have asked many people, and they all said that this land cannot grow crops at all, and the only thing that can be planted is grass, so someone later gave me advice, saying that you can use this land for grazing, I think this idea is very good, but if you want to open a pasture, of course you have to plant grass!" ”
"Even if you want to open a pasture here, you don't have to plant this kind of pest grass that is harmful to crops. ”
"Alas... You're mistaking me again. Xu Jirong shook his head and sighed, his acting skills were quite exaggerated, and said: "Where do I want to plant this kind of pest grass, but this soil can't grow good grass, so I can only plant this kind of pest grass." ”
Li Shouqi held back his anger and said, "But you are planting these harmful grasses here, what about my family's crops?" ”
Xu Jirong wondered: "What should you do with your crops?" I will only plant this grass in my field, and I will not plant it on your side. ”
The steward in charge of the farm suddenly stood up and said, "You have planted so many pests here, and if the slightest wind and rain blows, these pests will all run to our crops, and then our entire farm will be destroyed." ”
The pest grass Xu Jirong chose is really not an ordinary pest weed, it is very easy to spread, and it is difficult to get rid of it, which is really fatal to crops.
"Really?"
"Of course it is."
Xu Jirong shook his head and said: "I really can't help this, this little uncle spent more than a thousand taels to buy this land, so I can't just put it here to bask in the sun." ”
Now, Li Shouqi no longer pretended, and immediately sneered, "Xu Jirong, what trick do you want to play, I know very well, hum, if you dare to plant harmful grass here, I will go to the government to sue you for destroying the crops." ”
The dynasty of the small peasant economy has a lot of protection for farmland, and there may be no such article in the law, because no one grows harmful grass, but if you want to sue, you must be breaking the law.
Xu Jirong immediately said: "Don't frame me, I am opening a ranch, not planting harmful grass, and I have applied to the imperial court that all the horses raised in this pasture will be donated to the imperial court in the future, and the imperial court has always been short of horses." ”
To be rich is to be capricious.
"You ......." Li Shouqi never expected that Xu Jirong would make such a move, and he had the urge to vomit blood.
In fact, Xu Jirong deliberately scared him, Xu Jirong didn't really want to open a ranch, this is this guy is really a good hand at lying, and he may have been trained from Xu Mengxi, if he is blindly honest, with his stubborn character, the nine generations of single transmission may suppress Xu Mengxi's anger.
But Li Shouqi is really not sure, because Xu Mengxuan is the secretary of the Taifu Temple, and this Taifu Temple is in charge of the country's horse politics, and Xu Jirong wants to open a ranch and cooperate with the imperial court, which is really simple.
Even from the perspective of the imperial court, people are willing to pay their own money to help the imperial court raise horses, there is no reason to refuse, you have the ability to donate all the crops to the imperial court.
"Okay, okay, you show me, you'll regret it."
Li Shouqi, who was short of words, threw down this sentence angrily and left angrily.
Of course, Xu Jirong defeated Chef Zhou.
Xu Jirong laughed, and shouted: "Don't stand stupidly, hurry up and work, my little pony is hungry." ”
The farmers watched these strong men see the grass entering the hinterland of their crops, and their tears were pouring down, although they were domestic slaves, but the farmers and the crops had a blood thicker than water relationship.
......
"Rejoice! It's a pleasure! ”
Back in the carriage, Xu Jirong immediately shouted at Guo Dan who was hiding inside, and danced again: "Guo Dan, you are not there, if you see Li Shouqi's angry appearance, you will definitely smile from ear to ear." ”
All along, it was he who left angrily, and then he was ridiculed, but now he can be regarded as a salted fish turning over, and he has a bad breath in his heart, which is naturally very happy.
Guo Dan's reaction was relatively flat, playing with these sons and brothers, it was really a knife to kill chickens, and he did not hesitate to give the credit to Xu Jirong, "I'm just a hand, the main thing is that you are like a torch, and you take a fancy to this treasure at a glance." ”
"You're not bad, you're not bad. Wowhaha! ”
Xu Jirong couldn't help laughing when he was praised and laughed for a while, Fang stopped and said with great interest: "Guo Dan, since this is the case, then we will simply keep this land, specially plant harmful grass, and destroy the Li family's farmland, more than a thousand taels, I don't care." ”
You idiot, if this rat poop has been thrown into the soup, it will become worthless, and in the end it will only be a fish to die and the net will be broken, and the gains will outweigh the losses. Guo Dan said: "The little uncle's plan is very good, but if you do this, it will be difficult to highlight the little uncle's wisdom and foolishness." ”
Xu Jirong hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" ”
Guo Dan said: "If we do this, Li Shouqi will definitely be unable to resist, he can only ask the elders in the family to come forward, in this case, Xing Anbo will also have to come forward, it will become a matter between their elders, and then we will have to stand aside, and the most important thing is that if we do this, maybe the thin monkey will escape." ”
This time, he was going to beat the rabbit with grass, and by the way, he would punish Sun Buyan.
"That's just as well."
Xu Jirong nodded slightly and said, "That's okay, let's act according to the plan." This time, I'm going to let them know how good Uncle Ben is. ”
