Chapter 62: Can There Be Big Fish?
Rong Xiyue stared at Dongfang Wu for a long time, her serious appearance was shining in Rong Xiyue's eyes, and she was incredibly beautiful.
"Mr. Gu, do you know which big household has the most land in Tudou County?" Dongfang Wu thoughtfully.
"If you want to say that the big family with the most land, it must be Qianfu!" Gu Han said.
"Which money house?" It can't be such a coincidence!
"The richest family in Tudou County, there is not much money, and the old man is in the house!" Gu Han replied.
"So, who is the second richest man, do you know?" Dongfang Wu asked again.
"Old Cui's family, Cui Xiaolin's mansion!" Sucking on the sweet juice flowing from the tomato, Gu Han said.
"Cui, Choi Hyo-rim?" Dongfang Wu exclaimed.
"Well, yes, Choi Hyo-rim. Mr. Acquaintance? Gu Han asked.
The world is really small, and these two are old acquaintances.
The old acquaintance is defined by Dongfang Wu himself, and the final interpretation right belongs to Dongfang Wu!
"Fate! It seems that this business has to be discussed with Cui Xiaolin. Dongfang Wu showed a smile on his face.
After a pause, Dongfang Wu narrowed his eyes and said, "But, this Qian Mansion, why don't you go and visit it too?" ”
It's been two or three months, and I don't know how much effort Master Qian has made for his heirs••••••
"The land in the hands of the rich is really nothing compared to the land of the county lord!" Speaking of Tu Manlian, Gu Han's delicate face was stained with frost.
"Tu Manlian, how much land does he have?" Dongfang Wu called it by its name.
"In his hands alone, there are more than 45,000 acres of land, and Master Qian, the richest family in Tudou County, only has 5,000 acres of land in his hands, while Cui Xiaolin only has 2,000 acres in his hands!" Gu Han actually added the word "only" in front of two thousand acres.
Dongfang Wu couldn't help but be speechless, two thousand acres is much more than her land, okay, her land adds up to more than five hundred acres, less than six hundred, and it is still a little difficult to eat a thousand households.
"Do you know how many households there are in Tudou County?" Dongfang Wu asked again.
"This, about 20,000 households!" Gu Han gave an approximate number.
"Since there are few people and many lands, why are the people so poor that even eating a bowl of white rice is a luxury!" Dongfang Wu is puzzled, if this situation is properly managed, not to mention Ben Xiaokang, the people should not worry about eating and drinking.
"Bastards who are officials, if the people want to grow some food, they have to bear the exploitation of the landlords, and the land rent cannot be paid, and they would rather be wasted than cultivate for the people. Taxes are rising every year, and we have to scrape the people's fat and people's ointment! In such an environment, how can the people not worry about eating and drinking? Gu Han's voice was cold, and his words were filled with righteous indignation.
Gu Han doesn't hate the rich, he hates the rich and is not benevolent!
Dongfang Wu glanced at Rong Xiyue, and Rong Xiyue, a person like Rong Xiyue, who was so light and breezy, even sighed softly.
Dongfang Wu was a little dumbfounded, "When I first allocated the land to the villagers, I thought that their lives were too hard, and it happened that I had some land in my hands, so I gave them some to plant." Even if that one-third of an acre of land will not make them rich, it will not make them starving. ”
Later, I felt that there was too little labor in the village, so I agreed to let those people from other villages move in and divide the land. Someone has to plant my land, and there are too few people to plant it. ”
After a pause, she added: "This time, so many people seem that my land is too small, and there are still some people who can't accommodate them. This matter is inseparable from the emperor of the southern country, and he wants the horses to run, and he doesn't give the horses grazing! When he was recuperating, he treated the people so harshly, and in wartime, how many people could he go to the battlefield? ”
People's livelihood is a major national matter, and when the people live like this, what are the people in power doing?
Even Dongfang Wu was a little angry.
"If you want to buy land from them, I'm afraid it's a little difficult!" Rong Xiyue suddenly spoke.
"If you don't buy it, do you want to grab it?" Dongfang Wu frowned.
"If the people don't fight with the officials, it won't be able to rob. Do you have enough money in your hand? Therefore, neither is feasible. Rong Xiyue finished eating the tomatoes in her hand, elegantly wiped her hands on her sleeves, and said calmly: "However, you can gamble!" ”
Bet?
"Hey, Rong Gongzi is worthy of being a profiteer, cunning like a fox!" Dongfang Wu is a little transparent, and the smile is enchanting.
"Sir, has a way?" Gu Han's eyes lit up.
"I'll have to think about how to do this." Dongfang Wu clasped his hands to his chest, frowned and thought for a moment, "In this way, Gu Han, you and Li Zheng go back first, tell those people, let them wait, and then notify them when we solve it." ”
"Yes, sir."
Although Dongfang Wu's temperament is a little weird, he is doing great good deeds for the benefit of the people, Gu Han has more respect for Dongfang Wu, and he is more respectful to her.
After saying that, the two of them got up and said goodbye to deal with the matter.
"How are you going to bet?" Rong Xiyue slowly approached her.
"Well, I have to cooperate with you!" Dongfang Wu grabbed Rong Xiyue's sleeve, and a meaningful evil smile pulled out from the corner of his lips.
Yes! It was she who ignored it, this is not a cross-god domain, gambling is legal here, since you can't rob it, why not gamble?
"How does Ayin want me to help?" Rong Xiyue's eyes were full of tenderness.
Dongfang Wu hooked his fingers, and he lowered his head and came over to his ears.
"So, so, so, so••••••"
Just do it, but in the past three days, the name of Dongfang Wu once again resounded in Tudou County, and even further.
Whether it is the vendors in the streets and alleys, or the ladies and ladies in the high walls, or the peddlers and pawns shuttling on the country roads, it is rumored that Mr. Dongfang has a gambling game with Boss Rong in the Invitation Moon Building.
The legend is like this - said that since Mr. Dongfang stopped telling stories, Invite Yuelou's business plummeted, and Boss Rong asked Mr. Dongfang to come back to tell the story, but Dongfang Wu refused, so Boss Rong made a bet with Dongfang Wu, saying that as long as he won him, he would let him stay and continue to tell stories.
But this Dongfang Wu is not an ordinary person, Rong Xiyue gambled with Dongfang Wu for three days in a row, and lost half of the family wealth in his hand to him.
Boss Rong was not convinced, so he recruited wise men, and was bound to kill Dongfang Wu's arrogance.
And this Dongfang Wu was targeted like this, and there was an endless stream of people who came to bet with "him", and "he" was so annoyed that he also had anger, so he spoke harshly to the people in Tudou County. Yes, but if anyone wins a bet against him, he will add all the wealth he has won to himself, and lose to the other party.
What arrogance!
Wealth and beautiful men, such attractive conditions naturally attract a lot of people of all colors to bet with Dongfang Wu.
Some people want the wealth in her hands, some people value her talent, and the woman in the boudoir values her appearance, and she also wants to gamble with her, try her luck, and see if she can hold a beautiful man!
On the tenth day, the wealth accumulated in Dongfang Wu's hands was as much as 100,000 taels.
As the wealth in her hands increased, the number of people who came to bet against her was not less, but more, and there were even strangers who made a special trip to gamble.
Tudou County once again became lively because of Dongfang Wu.
Dongfang Wu didn't expect that this gamble would really attract big fish.
Invite the moon building to accommodate the west moon special private room.
When Fugui went upstairs to report, Dongfang Wu and Rong Xiyue were drinking tea.
"Master, shout below, let Mr. show up to start!" Fugui's face was expressionless, and his expression was cold.
"Are there big fish?" Rong Xiyue asked casually, and a pair of ink eyes always looked at Dongfang Wu.
"There are two big families in the county, and there is not much money, Cui Xiaolin. It's all sitting down there! ”
"Well, anything else?" Rong Xiyue continued to ask.
"No," Fugui didn't know what his master meant.
"Well, let's go down!"
"Yes"
Fugui withdrew.
There was a loud shouting from downstairs, and it was very noisy.
took out the pan flute that once made Tudou County lively for a while from his sleeve, Rong Xiyue's eyes were shining, but she disagreed: "You want to use this?" ”
Previously, she played a song due to lack of silver, and she stirred up a thousand waves with one stone.
And this kind of moment when she needs to build momentum, she feels that it is necessary to play a song.
"Well, it's not a small matter, and it's worth pushing yourself to the forefront. Young Master Rong, if I fall from a height, you will catch me! ”
Looking at his handsome face softly, Dongfang Wu chuckled lightly and brought the pan flute close to his lips.
Rong Xiyue was in a very good mood, she was willing to rely on him, and he couldn't ask for it.
The air flow into the trachea, the pure timbre slowly poured out, and everyone in the entire Yingyue Building, and even everywhere the music reached, quieted down.
Everyone listened carefully to the wonderful tune, which was distant and quiet, like a breeze from the ancient wasteland. Ethereal, clear and elegant, soft and delicate and lingering. Like the clouds in the sky, it is otherworldly, and people's impetuous hearts are also calmed down, which is extremely comfortable.
Dongfang Wu holds the flute, playing while going down from the upper floor.
Rong Xiyue followed her slowly and elegantly.
As soon as the figures of the two appeared, everyone felt that their eyes were bright, and the two people in white were like snow, their black hair was thick, and their skin was like congealed fat.
The former, with dark hair tied up, a small face is crystal clear, lupine eyelashes, clear eyes shining with the brilliance of the stars and moon, and pink lips are moist and seductive; The body is like a bamboo, walking chic and calm, bringing out a heroic spirit, shocking!
The latter, with green silk hair, a face like a crown of jade, sideburns like a knife and picturesque eyebrows, a soft nose bridge, thin lips sexy and sultry, and an elegant and elegant posture, not like a person in the world!
Gu Han was already waiting below with thirteen and fourteen, and when Dongfang Wu and Rong Xiyue walked in front of him, he followed behind.
The tables are set up in the middle of the hall, and a few chairs are set up at a distance of one metre around them. When it comes to doing business, Rong Xiyue's mind is indeed turning fast. No, he can sell these chairs for five hundred taels each.
A small coffee table was also placed between the stools for the guests to enjoy tea during their pastime.
The rest of the spectators were blocked by this circle of chairs, and they had to stretch their necks to look inside.
At this time, those stools were full of people, among whom Dongfang Wu knew, that is, the Qian Mansion did not have much money, and Cui Xiaolin of the Urging Mansion.
His gaze swept over the circle of people, and his gaze stopped at a man in purple.
The man sat crooked in his chair, with a wicked smile on his handsome face, and the two thick eyebrows also rippled slightly, as if he had been smiling, like a crescent moon; The peach-colored thin lips on the wheat-colored skin are hooked, and the whole person looks ruffian!
Although he sat so indecently, he faintly revealed a sense of nobility, which could not be reminiscent of the stupid son of the landlord's family, and he didn't know that it was everyone's noble son!
Retracting his gaze, Rong Xiyue sat on the empty seat he had left behind, and Gu Han took Thirteen and Fourteen to stand behind him.
Dongfang Wu stood in front of the gaming table, the music stopped, and she took the pan flute into her arms.
One of the people in the hall suddenly exclaimed, "This voice······ So familiar! I think I've heard it somewhere! ”
