Chapter 112: Offering Treasures
If you want to say that this Pudong Liu family is not small! Liu Bei is the king of Zhongshan Jing, Liu Wei is a descendant of the king of Jiaodong County, and because of the case of donating money, he was demoted to the knight and became a commoner's family, so Liu Huangshu's Han clan relatives who show off everywhere are actually worthless in this environment, and Liu has been subordinate to Liu for more than 300 years, so the royal family is broken and the relatives are grabbing a lot of them.
And when he arrived at Liujiazhuang in Jiaodong, Wang Hou found that he still overestimated the Liu family a little, it was indeed Tianlian Qianmo, the land and the whole county, and more than half of the land in Jiaodong was almost annexed by his family, but when Wang Hou arrived, less than 30,000 mu of land was reclaimed here, and most of the fields were abandoned.
It is estimated that the former Taishou Liu Yan, the old man of the family, is ruthless enough, and the courtyard wall of Liujiazhuang Wubao located outside the county is also like a dog gnawing, lacking a piece in the east and a piece in the west, and it is close to evening, there are still many clansmen and tenants working in the field, but as soon as I saw Wang Hou's neat marching team, I don't know who was the first to shout, and all of a sudden, thousands of people were like encountering bandits entering the village, and they fled to the middle of the Great Plains and Liujiawu Fort by the Liuhua River.
"Is this a fucking treat?"
Standing on the wheel of the carriage, looking around with a wooden tube telescope, on the wall of the house, seeing that some local clan soldiers were wearing this flower clothes and leather armor, holding spears, bows and arrows and coaxing on the wall, the corners of Wang Hou's mouth twitched in annoyance, and he snorted angrily with Zhao Yun beside him.
"Lao Zhao, you go and tell these bastards that Lao Tzu is here, and let Liu Wei come out to see me! His surname is Liu who dares to deceive Lao Tzu, and my Wang Hou is not finished with him! ”
"The last will be ordered!"
Can Changshan Zhao Zi endure this little temper? I can't bear it, I agreed loudly, he is galloping wildly, not to mention, after following Wang Hou for so long, Zhao Yun's business level has also improved, and he ran to the bottom of Liujiawu Fort, naming and scolding for a while, and the face of the Liu clan soldier at the head of the dock fort was blue and white, and he was very embarrassed to go down and stab him.
But without waiting for the people to come down from above, the fortress was also loud, in Wang Hou's telescope, it can be regarded as those tooth and claw clan soldiers withdrew, six or seven horsemen came out of the fortress, led by a fifty or sixty-year-old old man, after a while of greeting Zhao Yun, he turned around and shouted a few times inside, and then ran straight to Wang Hou's car.
"Old decay Pudong Liu Wei, meet the prince, the countrymen don't know it, make a fuss, don't be surprised!"
To say that there is no surplus grain in the landlord's house this year, I don't know what to do with the show, this rare old guy with a little fat is wearing a torn robe, a patch on the left and a hole on the right, and the old face is also dry out of the folds, but turning over and dismounting with a smile is like a sweet honey, and now Wang Hou has also learned to put on an official position, looking at him coldly, learning to cross the demeanor of the former leader, he is arrogant and humming.
"It's okay, didn't you invite this mansion to a banquet? Let's lead the way! ”
It doesn't hurt to say it, but when he entered Zhuangzi, Wang Hou unceremoniously sent troops to directly occupy the manor gate, seeing that the heavy infantry in armor and halberds did not speak, and directly pushed themselves and others to the side, occupying their own positions, and domineering behavior, those Zhuang Ding also dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
The poor are all wearing patch clothes, and Liujiazhuang's meal is much worse than Zhong Xuan's hospitality to himself, that is, four dishes and one soup, the level of cadres going to the countryside, but this main dish is novel enough, it turned out to be a two-meter-long Yellow River carp, which was grilled for a long time, and the fish oil was also grilled, which made people appetizing.
Several elders of the Liu family obviously still disagreed on the matter of inviting Wang Hou, and they were still whispering there at the end of the seat, but they were hungry after a long day, and they didn't care about them, Wang Hou himself stabbed straight behind the head of the fish, and a piece of the most alive fish neck meat without thorns was cut off by him, and the wheat rice placed on the table was directly thrown aside, and almost half a catty of fish meat was gobbled up and stuffed into the stomach.
This is a rough and rude appearance that the official does not have, and the few Liu family elders who saw it even raised their eyebrows, but Liu Wei's smile remained the same, and he poured Wang Hou full of wine with his own hands, and patted his ass with a smile.
"Fujun's food has the shape of a tiger, and it is majestic! The old man is really admired, there is a general in Dongjun, and peace and stability are just around the corner! ”
A leader is a leader, and eating is like a starving ghost, and it is also a style! swallowed another mouthful of fish, and poured a sip of wine, but was grinned by the inferior wine in the countryside, and then the wine, Wang Hou patted his chest and began to brag.
"What do you mean just around the corner? Isn't Dongjun stable and peaceful now? Outside Puyang City, Benfujun has cultivated more than 400,000 acres of fertile land, the land here is fertile, and the Yellow River is irrigated, this autumn will definitely be a bumper harvest! ”
"The prince of the mansion cultivates so much fertile land, won't there be a war this year?"
This is what a large group of Haoqiang clans in Liujiazhuang care about, no matter how much grain is cultivated, it is not their own if they can't keep it, and they also provoke thieves to worry, in "Water Margin", Song Jiang is Mao Da Zhujiazhuang? Time migration is a small problem, what really matters is the millions of stone grain that can be eaten by the cottage for a few years in Zhujiazhuang, listening to Wang Hou's bragging, an old man with a slender face and a look like an old radish The Liu family asked impatiently.
"War? How did the cattle and horses come from the cattle and horses that the king of this province reclaimed the wasteland this year? Opposite the slip county General Yan Liang borrowed it! And what is the friendship between the prime minister and Yuan Gong? A young friend! Everyone is a big man together, there are no small contradictions, but the big policy is the same, you say, can you fight? If you want to fight, General Yan Liang will lend the precious cattle and horses to the king of this mansion? ”
"What Lord Fujun said is extremely true!"
This is what Wang Hou likes about the people of the Han Dynasty, people are still very simple, not to mention that compared with later generations, compared with urbanization in the Song and Ming dynasties, it is not so complicated, how to fool how it is, like Wang Hou, this is simply a rotten deception of the leather bag company in later generations, put his own photos with some celebrities, and take them out to brag about how famous and influential he is, it is estimated that future generations will not even be able to deceive primary school students, a group of Liu family elders really believe it, watching Wang Hou patting his chest and bragging, they are sincerely relieved.
With such a promise of peace, the next dinner is a little more relaxed and happy, Secretary Wang of Dongjun went deep into the masses, sat down face-to-face with Liu Jiazhuang's father, and understood the hardships of the masses cordially, a dinner ended perfectly in a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere, in short, in addition to bragging, nothing was done, several Pudong Liu family elders also felt that Wang Hou had a very good background, and the north and south may be endured.
It was already dark after this meal, Wang Hou also unceremoniously chose a room next to the gate of the dock fort to stay, this goods sleep and recognize the bed, you have to put the luggage on your carriage to sleep, is tossing kung fu, the courtyard gate sounded the sound of crutches hitting the ground, and then, the pro-soldier Wang Erna outside the door ran in with great interest and said.
"The head of the family, Wang Laohan asks to see!"
It's no wonder that the soldiers were excited, when Wang Hou went out on an errand, he came over at this time, and it was all for gifts! When a gift came to the door, Wang Hou naturally would not refuse, holding the quilt while shouting.
"Please come in and serve tea!"
"Subordinates obey!"
Wang Erna rushed out again with interest, and after about two minutes, Wang Hou finally laid his mattress on the cool and prosperous wooden couch, and at the other end, the old man Liu Wei finally came in on crutches, and it was indeed a gift, and the Han Dynasty people gave gifts without subtlety, and came up to Wang Hou is a gesture.
"The old man visited the king, and today he has to meet the Ming Mansion, and the old man is overjoyed! There is a unique treasure, to be dedicated to the Ming Mansion! ”
It's straightforward! You must know that Wang Hou is thin-skinned, and he is still the parent official of Dongjun, how can he be embarrassed to be a newcomer? So, with a heavy cough, Wang Hou solemnly waved his hand outside and scolded righteously.
"This official is ordered by His Majesty himself, and the eastern county is too guarded, and he does things for the imperial court, how can he accept local benefits? However, since Liu Xianggong is so sincere, it is not easy for the official to brush off the kindness of the villagers, so please present it! ”
This divine turn, even Liu Wei was stupid for a moment, a few seconds, he came back to his senses, the smile on his face just now became slightly unnatural, and he trembled and gestured with his hands.
"The treasure is in the backyard, the Ming Mansion is invited with the old man!"
still took the bodyguard leader Zhao Yun and a few thug brothers, and followed Liu Wei to the backyard, going deeper and deeper, but Wang Hou's mood also became apprehensive, because this scene is a little familiar, when he was in Lu Mansion, it seemed that when Chen Gong led him to the back house to offer women, it seemed to be the same way, right? Otherwise, what needs to be hidden in the courtyard of the deep house, and you have to lead yourself there?
It is reasonable to think about the marriage between the big clan and the big people in this place.
But this made Wang Hou a little entangled, the two girls in the family almost didn't turn the sky upside down, and then get it back, is it to give him a triangle stability? Or play him a "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on the spot!
However, if you don't want to, the relationship with the Liu family, which I finally established a little bit today, will be stiff again! How good is that!
It's really not okay to act on the spot, all for the sake of the prime minister's loyalty, I believe that the Red Festival is so "reasonable"! You'll understand!
Just when Wang Hou gritted his teeth and made up his mind to dedicate his precious "chastity" to the great cause of Cao Gong, Liu Wei, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped, pointed to a pavilion that was tightly covered by wooden boards, and turned back to Wang Hou.
"Mingfu, it's here!"
It's really strange, an ordinary pavilion, the wooden planks on the eight edges and corners are obviously added later, and there are four strong men standing at the door, guarding them all the time, in Wang Hou's astonishment, they are holding a crowbar, dismantling the board on one side, and then the door is opened.
Follow Liu Wei to light the lantern and come in, and probe towards the big round stone, under the light of the fire, a bright and swaying water surface was revealed in Wang Hou's eyes, it was actually a well.
