Chapter 69: The Loser
"Oops! A few of us are just a name in Qianniuwei, we can go or not. ”
Cheng Chu waved his hand silently and said nonchalantly.
Today, the restaurant is officially opened, and if you want to eat hot pot in the future, you will have to spend money, just their pocket money, how can they afford it!
So when they heard that Bao was eating and staying, their eyes were bright.
There are free hot pot and stir-fried dishes here, and you can also drink some fine wine, which is a treatment that ordinary people can enjoy.
"Okay, since you've all said so, then stay in the future!"
Zhao Yin pointed to the wine vat on the carriage outside and said, "My food here is not for nothing, I have to work, this is the first thing......!" is to send this wine out, there are three hundred catties of the emperor here, and then there are Zhao Guogong, Lu Guogong, and the two of you. ”
"Brewed so soon?"
Hearing that the wine was outside, the four of them suddenly had their eyes lit up, and they ran out happily to deliver it to each family.
......
"What do you say? Even you learned to bark as a dog? ”
Li Fuzhong, Li Lishan, the patriarch of the Li family, after listening to what the housekeeper said, he burst into a rage, "It's okay if the young master is young and ignorant, so even you can be fooled by him, are you a pig's brain?" A lot of years have been spent in vain? ”
"Master, you are angry......! I don't want to, but that kid ...... That kid is so cunning! ”
Steward Li knelt on the ground with a swollen face like a pig's head.
"Did he put a knife on your neck?"
Li Lishan gritted his teeth and said angrily: "If you don't climb, then at most others will mean that you don't believe in your words, now it's okay, the whole Chang'an City is laughing at our Li family, my face is a loss for you, are you a pig?" ”
Steward Li said helplessly: "Master, the villain doesn't want to either!" I climbed it for the sake of the Li family's reputation! ”
Li Lishan stared at him like a pig, "You have really lived for so many years in vain, people dig a trap for you, and you will jump in!" You bet with him, are you crazy? ”
"If I win, I can get rid of a competitor for the Li family, but ......! I didn't expect that Duber's old fellow would regret it. ”
Steward Li cried with a sad face, spread his hands, and said innocently.
"Alright, alright......!"
Li Lishan really wanted to slap him a few more times, but looking at his face, there was nothing to do if it was swollen, so he forgot it, "You go and tell our people, keep an eye on that kid for me, it's best that he doesn't make mistakes, otherwise, he will die for me." ”
"Good, good ......!"
Steward Li nodded again and again, as if he had been pardoned.
"And that wine shop, I also sent someone to watch it, so that he can't sell a drop of wine."
Li Lishan gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
......
"You all understand what I explained just now."
Zhao Yin pointed to a large pile of cotton seeds and said to everyone.
He was explaining the matter of planting cotton, and the people in front of him were all his tenants, and some of them were just recruited by Fuber.
Now, in addition to his own 500 acres of land, there are also 2,000 acres that Zhao Guogong lost to him, and the two imperial historians' positions that the emperor rewarded him a few days ago, adding up to a total of about 3,000 acres.
Therefore, the previous manpower was simply not enough, and with these new recruits, there are now about 1,000 tenant farmers.
He plans to plant all the land he has now with cotton.
So I gathered some people who were usually honest and respectable, and taught them how to grow cotton.
"Young master, don't worry, we have all remembered what you confessed!"
Fauber nodded.
"Then let's do it! Shovel all the crops in the field and make room for it as soon as possible. ”
Zhao Yin pointed to Zhao Guogong's 2,000 acres of land.
The crops in the field had already grown seedlings, but he couldn't wait for them to mature in order to grow cotton.
He's counting on the cotton to make a fortune!
"Young master, the crops in this field are growing just right, and now they are shoveled, isn't it a pity?"
"yes, if it's all shoveled, what will we eat in the fall?"
"Don't think twice, I still have several people in my family to feed!"
As soon as everyone heard that such a good crop was going to be shoveled, they were very distressed, and they all began to persuade one after another.
"I said shovel it, just shovel it, just do your job."
Zhao Yin didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, even if he explained, these people wouldn't understand.
"Ah......h All right. ”
Seeing that the owner was angry, everyone had to shut up.
However, they all secretly scolded him in their hearts for being a loser.
After explaining everything, Zhao Yin returned directly to Chang'an's Horse Building.
"Master Horse, just now the Prince's Mansion sent an invitation!"
As soon as Zhao Yin walked into the restaurant, Xiaoling handed him an invitation.
"Prince......?"
Zhao Yin was a little surprised, he didn't know the prince before, and he didn't have any friendship, why did he invite him?
"I mean......! It turned out that the prince was going to hold a wine tasting party! ”
After Zhao Yin read the invitation, he threw it aside.
I can't finish my own wine, so I'm interested in going to any wine tasting.
......
"Guanyin, you can try ...... too! This kid designed a good rocking chair. ”
In the Lizheng Palace, Li Er stood up from the rocking chair and said with satisfaction.
"This ......! Was it designed by a colt? ”
Empress Eldest Sun also lay down and tried it.
Not to mention, this chair is dangling and very comfortable.
"Yes! Not only that, but he also designed a sofa dragon chair for me, which is even more comfortable than this, hahaha......! ”
Li Er laughed heartily, and after a while, he frowned again, and said regretfully: "This kid is a talent, but it's a pity that he refuses to put his mind on business, otherwise, he will definitely be the pillar of the country." ”
"With one potato, he solved the problem of food shortage across the country, and the horseshoe and zigzag plough he designed last time are definitely artifacts for the benefit of the country and the people."
Li Er recited Zhao Yin's exploits, and finally lay down on the rocking chair helplessly: "It's a pity, he thinks about doing business and making money all day, but he refuses to enter the court as an official, I promised him, except for Shangshu, the other six official positions are chosen at will, and he won't do it, hey......!" ”
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the horse is still young, it is the time to be playful, and it is normal, when he has played enough in the future and his mood can settle down, he may be willing to enter the court as an official, and he can also serve His Majesty at that time."
"I don't think it'......!"
Li Er shook his head helplessly.
"Why don't you let Lizhi talk to him about ......?"
Seeing his unhappy face, the eldest grandson Wuji gave him an idea: "He has always been very good to Lizhi, maybe if Lizhi persuades him, he can listen a little?" ”
