Chapter 517: Goal Achieved
Before that, Shi Bin never thought that there was anything fun about fighting crickets, it was just a way for the children to kill time so that they didn't feel empty and lonely. Even if they play a little bit higher, they are still just walking dead and will not achieve anything.
But this time it was different, Shi Bin also experienced the happiness in it, and it didn't seem to be so useless. At least he had a familiar feeling in it, that it was the importance of strategy when it came to 'fighting'.
played up, this fake play came true, and under the 'guidance' of several personal guards, Shi Bin, a new player, immediately became a veteran, and defeated several provocative guys one after another. Although one of them also lost a few times and lost some money, but it can lead to Jia Yidao and get happiness, what is this bit of silver?
After winning a few times, Shi Bin's business here faded, not because of anything else, but because he had two 'big generals', and it was impossible for others to win money. If you really want to win money, you have to come up with a more powerful 'generalissimo', but it is impossible to have a 'generalissimo' in this small county town.
Since there is no one to provoke, make money by selling books or answering questions about fighting crickets. Jia Ling, the daughter of the 'cricket prime minister', is naturally at her fingertips, and no matter what questions others ask, she can quickly give a satisfactory answer. Gradually, the business of this stall improved again, and even Jia Yidao's "Promoting Weaving Sutra" sold six or seven copies.
After Shi Bin fought crickets for nearly an hour, and Jia Ling got knowledge solutions and books sold for another half an hour, Jia Rudao finally couldn't help but show up angrily
In fact, I saw the angry Jia Yidao from afar, because every step he took was heavily on the ground, and he couldn't wait to step on the bluestone road one by one. It's just that Shi Bin and Jia Ling pretended not to know and looked at the stall, ignoring Jia Yidao, who was gradually approaching. Because they know that now is the time to stabilize their position and continue acting.
"Get out!" There was a vicious roar in his ears, and then he was seen kicking one of his guards to the side. Of course, Shi Bin couldn't be cowardly like this, and immediately glared at Jia Yidao angrily: "Father-in-law, what are you doing here?" Why hit my personal guards? ”
"What do you say, what do you say? You and Jia Ling actually dare to use my 'great general' to set up the ring, and sell the "Promoting Weaving Sutra" that I worked so hard to write! Jia Rudao also said angrily.
I thought that Shi Bin would not dare to refute because of the loss, but he didn't expect that Shi Bin not only did not weaken his momentum, but also snorted coldly, picked up the bamboo tube on the ground and handed it to Jia Yidao. What was revealed in his eyes was anger and a hint of cunning.
When he opened his eyes, Jia Rudao found that the bamboo tube was not his favorite strong 'general' at all, but a thin cricket.
At this point, the treacherous and cunning Jia Yidao understood that he was tricked by his daughter and son-in-law, and he fell for their strategy to lure the snake out of the hole, so he naturally raised his legs and was about to leave.
It took so much effort to lure out this treacherous and cunning father-in-law, how could Shi Bin let him slip away again? Therefore, no matter what the elders and young are respectful, with one look, the guards will block the way Jia Nidao left from all directions.
Although Jia Rudao also has two followers, but they are all silver? The head of the gun is okay to scare and scare the common people, but it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of Shi Bin, a murderer like a butcher. Therefore, when the guards surrounded Jia Nidao, they did not perform their duties to protect Jia Nidao, but stood outside very consciously.
gave the two guards a smile to express their kindness, and then said to Jia Rudao with a smile: "Father-in-law, you have finally come out." ”
"I'm finally out? What do you mean? I have been observing the people's situation in Yangzhou. As the pacification of Huainan and Huainan, I can't always nest in Yangzhou City, right? In that case, the bureaucracy is too heavy, but it is just a corpse vegetarian. Jia Rudao sneered.
Although I don't like Jia Yidao to talk nonsense with his eyes open, he knows that he is indeed still an official who can consider the Great Song Dynasty, and the most admirable thing is the 'Gongtian Law' that has been forcefully implemented. Therefore, he didn't want to be swept away by others, but secretly signaled to ask Jia Nidao to go to the county government to talk about it.
Anyway, it is also a two-way appeasement, Shi Bin is still his son-in-law, and he doesn't believe that Shi Bin dares to be rude to himself. Therefore, Jia Rudao ignored it, obviously not planning to listen to Shi Bin's intention to go to the county government to talk with him.
However, Shi Bin is not a civilian official but a military general, even if he can't be rude, coercion is still okay. So when Shi Bin's good words had no effect, Shi Bin came to the evil fire. It's just that in order to make Jia Ling feel better, he still asked, but Jia Ling didn't say anything, just looked helpless.
Since he didn't express his position, it was acquiescence, and Shi Bin naturally coerced. This coercion is very interesting: two strong soldiers clasped Jia Nidao's two hands from the left and right, and just like that, they 'carried' the immobile Jia Nidao into the county office.
After entering the county office, as soon as the door is closed, the business begins.
"Shi Bin, what the hell do you mean!" Jia Rudao roared angrily.
"Father-in-law, what I mean is very simple, I ask you to allocate food and materials to us as soon as possible, as long as we get these, we will definitely leave Yangzhou honestly, and we will never annoy you in front of you again." Shi Bin said with a smile. And also replace 'you' with 'you' to express your humility.
"Didn't you just make an agreement with the imperial court, why did you still ask me for support? What's more, I also said that I will support your public opinion, isn't it enough? Jia said bluntly.
I have to admire Jia Yidao, who can be so 'forgetful', Shi Bin smiled helplessly: "Father-in-law, it seems that you are really cheeky in front of you, but if you take care of face, you will lose your heart." Okay, son-in-law, I don't care about face. I remember that you promised Master Jiang to give us a reply within three days. But now it's ten days, and we don't know what your answer is. The most interesting thing is that since the afternoon of the second day, you have been 'observing the people's feelings'. If it weren't for these 'great generals' and the "Promoting Weaving Sutra", I'm afraid you would still be 'observing the people's feelings'. ”
"That's it, don't try to fool us, father, you obviously want to avoid us, it's not 'understanding the people's feelings' at all! It's a shame that you still have two ways to appease the envoys, and you refuse to give your son-in-law any support, it's really stingy! Jia Ling said indignantly.
"Good, good, good, you dare to talk to your father like this!" Jia Rudao was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
"Father-in-law, please don't be angry. Xiao Ling never kept her mouth shut, you know, she just wanted to help me get some support from you. Shi Bin immediately came out to say good things for Jia Ling, and gave her a look to stop talking.
I know that I can't let Jia Yidao get too angry, if he moves the real fire, it will be bad. Therefore, Shi Bin just complained to Jia Yidao, and praised Jia Yidao as high as Guan Zhong, Chen Ping, and Fang Xuanling, and he was the first capable minister in the world.
After grinding back and forth like this, Jia Rudao was also tired, and the rest didn't know, the only thing they understood was: Shi Bin and the others would never leave if they didn't get some benefits from themselves this time. It's just that this benefit is more or less, it was calculated before, and it was held hostage just now, and this evil breath hasn't come out yet, how can it give Shi Bin a lot of benefits?
Therefore, he sighed and said, "Well, you have sharp teeth and sharp mouths, and I can't talk about you." I agree to help, but not much. I'll give you thirty thousand taels of silver and fifty thousand stones of brown rice. ”
I thought that Shi Bin and Jia Ling would be at peace, but when they saw that the two of them not only did not stop, their faces became even more angry. As for the surrounding Lu Wende, Sai Xishi and Xu Feng, they also had bad faces.
"Father, what do you mean by that! Don't try to fool us. I thought that you and Master Jiang might deceive us, so my husband and I went to your corner and listened to the corner, and we already knew what you were thinking. Speaking of this, Jia Ling snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Don't you just want to drag it until the Yuan people go south and give us some extra support?" You are really amazing, you know that sending charcoal in the snow is better than icing on the cake, no wonder you can be the pacification envoy of Lianghuai South Road. ”
Unexpectedly, the two cunning little guys actually killed a horse pistol to listen to their corner, which made Jia Yidao feel helpless. Who told him to be the first to lose?
"So what the hell do you want to do?" Jia Rudao asked helplessly.
Looking at the frustrated Jia Rudao, Jia Ling smiled slyly: "Why does my father look like this, we are just here to ask for help and not to do anything bad." Moreover, we are not greedy, just give us 400,000 stone of grain. As long as it's grain, we don't care about rice, corn, or wheat, it's brown rice or old rice. ”
Hearing the number popping out of Jia Ling's mouth, not only Jia Yidao was frightened, but also Shi Bin and several others. secretly sighed that Jia Ling was really from a big family, and dared to speak. Because 400,000 stone of grain is enough for 100,000 households to eat for two years, but from Jia Ling's mouth, it seems to be just four catties of rice.
"No, it can't be. Thirty thousand taels of silver and fifty thousand stone of grain are already very much. If not, I won't give it at all. Jia Rudao said coldly.
This situation was not expected by Shi Bin and the others, but Jia Rudao was already at a loss, but now he is tough, which makes Shi Bin and the others feel as if they do want more.
Just when Shi Bin felt a little hesitant, Jia Ling said fiercely: "Father, if you don't give us 400,000 catties of food, then Shi Bin and I will go to the street to set up a stall." But this time it was not in the small county town of Jiangdu, but to the main street of Yangzhou. ”
These words did not surprise Shi Bin and the others, but they made Jia Yidao feel extremely uneasy. He didn't want to be ridiculed by his colleagues for the Jia family's lax upbringing, and he taught a daughter who didn't know how to be polite, righteous and honest.
"You dare!" Jia Rudao immediately said viciously.
"Why not? Isn't it just a stall? and do not break the law. Jia Ling said very confidently.
Now Jia Rudao regrets it very much, she shouldn't spoil Jia Ling too much, so that she has developed such a rude and willful character. But regret is useless, you can only go with the flow. So he said bitterly that he could give Shi Bin and Lu Wende 30,000 taels of silver and 100,000 stone of grain, and no matter how much they had, they would be gone.
Knowing that this is Jia Yidao's bottom line, Shi Bin will accept it when he sees it. Before Jia Ling was about to speak, Shi Bin stopped her. He said, "Thank you father-in-law for your support. The son-in-law and Brother Lu are grateful. ”
"Grateful?" Jia Rudao smiled bitterly, "If I say 'grateful', you will return these salaries to me." ”
"This" was asked by Jia Rudao, Shi Bin could only smile awkwardly.
"Materials" There was a soft voice in his ears, and Shi Bin understood that it was Jia Ling reminding him not to forget to ask for some supplies.
"This, hehehe, father-in-law. You see, winter is coming, and the weather is getting colder. The soldiers now have something to eat, but they can't freeze, if they get frostbite or get sick, it will affect their combat effectiveness. How about asking my father-in-law to support us with some more supplies? Shi Bin smiled again.
Just when he was about to angrily scold Shi Bin for being a 'dissatisfied bastard', he saw Jia Ling's unhappy face, which made Jia Yidao lose his temper again. just said irritably: "Take it, take it, take it, take as much as you like, as long as you can move it!" ”
It's actually 'take as much as you like, as long as you can move', Jia Rudao's attitude can make Shi Bin and the others ecstatic. Naturally, he immediately thanked Jia Nidao, and Jia Ling was even more coquettish, saying that Jia Nidao was the best father in the world.
And Jia Yidao obviously didn't want to hear this, only said that he was tired and wanted to rest. After that, he went back to sleep in the wing room in the yamen.
