Gu Haotian has been away from home for more than a month, and for Gu Zhen and the Li family, it seems to be like every three autumns, and even Xiaoying Niang is pestering her brother and refusing to let go. After more than a year, Gu Haotian has completely regarded himself as a member of the Gu family, and when he enjoys the warmth of home, he thinks more about how to protect this warm home.

The Zhao family can spend money to move to Gujiazhuang to find trouble, and there will be the Zhang family and the Li family in the future, and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days. So when he was on the mountain, he instructed Tao Zongwang to draw a suitable area in the back mountain as the family area of the mountain leader in the future, and first asked to build a courtyard, and Gu Haotian wanted to move his family over to get rid of his worries.

Zhou Tong specially tested Gu Haotian's martial arts, and was very relieved to see that he had not fallen. Ma Xun and Gu Bo didn't catch up with the excitement of Jeju City, and they were very annoyed and asked to go out next time to let Bian Xiang take care of the house, Gu Haotian had to respond first, which made Bian Xiang regret his mouth.

Gu Zhen is worthy of being a person who has been engaged in grain trading for many years, and the head of the analysis of the grain market is Tao. He said that the spring famine is imminent, and it is by no means the right time to buy grain, but only the best time to wait for the wheat to mature in the north in May and June and the rice harvest in the south in June and July. Gu Haotian is not short of food now, so he entrusted the matter of buying food to his father, and Gu Zhen naturally did not allow it.

The next step is how to take advantage of the spring famine to recruit people. Gu Zhen thinks that they are naturally willing to use the villagers of Gujiazhuang to recruit people, and they are naturally happy to make money, but these villagers themselves don't know many people, and the distance between relatives and friends is rarely ten miles, so I am afraid that it will not be effective. Gu Zhen also agreed with Mr. Wen's statement that there were more poor and hungry people in Yizhou and Qingzhou, but he also said that if there were no local people who had been trusted to recruit, the villagers would rather give the landlord as tenant farmers if they were attached to their hometown, and they would probably not leave their homeland lightly unless they had to do so.

Gu Zhen's analysis is reasonable, and Gu Haotian is also well aware of the traditional concept that the Chinese homeland is difficult to leave and the fallen leaves return to their roots. So he thought of Zhu Gui, Zhu Gui's brother is from Yishui, and he may be able to get some ideas there, and this time he brought a group of immortals drunk, and he also had to hand them over to him and share them among the agents.

At noon, Gu Haotian and Bian Xiang arrived at Shilixiang, and the moon appeared suddenly, Zhu Gui was also a little surprised, and hurriedly took him upstairs to the private room to sit down.

There are two signboards of new dishes and fairy drunk, the restaurant business has been booming since the beginning of the new year, Zhu Gui is about to eat the neighbor's house to expand the restaurant, but encountered some trouble, just when the petty official came, he took the opportunity to report.

"The high price I paid, and the neighboring homeowners originally had no objections, but when I got to the county government to make the deed, the grocery store next door suddenly missed the appointment, and it was strange that it was not sold."

"This grocery store is doing well, where is the landlord, and what is the reason for his no-show?" Gu Haotian asked in detail.

"This grocery store is naturally not good to sell, or it will not be sold, the landlord I have also met, surnamed Song Ben County, originally said good, but after a trip to the county office, I changed my mouth and said that this shop is the ancestral industry, and I am ashamed to sell it to my ancestors, so I don't want to sell it anymore."

"Who has this Song Dongjia been in contact with in the county government?"

"I'm just busy making a deed, and I haven't seen this either."

"It's okay, you just hang him first, if he really doesn't want to sell it, it's fine, if there are other plans, then it will be clear."

Gu Haotian is a civil servant from later generations, he is accustomed to seeing the demolition of nail households, and he also understands their psychology of strange goods.

Zhu Gui nodded in response, Gu Haotian was about to mention the matter of the spring famine in Yizhou, when a call suddenly came from the lobby.

"Shopkeeper Zhu is here, today the governor has a treat, and choose a cabinet to eat wine with us."

Zhu Gui agreed, and then whispered to Gu Haotian that it was Song Zhusi of the county government, who had come to eat and drink every day recently, and distinguished his voice.

"You just go and say hello, and stay in this private room, don't say I'm here today." Gu Haotian pointed to the room next door, and Zhu Gui went out with a sense of it.

Song Zhisi should be Song Jiang, Gu Haotian has been in this world for more than a year, although he lives in the same county seat, but he has never met the No. 1 leader of the original Liangshan. When I met it suddenly, I was really curious, so I asked Zhu Gui to make arrangements.

After a while, I saw three people coming up the stairs, and Gu Haotian sat by the door and saw it clearly. The first one was short in stature and had a dark face, thinking that it should be Song Jiang; The one on the left is a head taller than Song Jiang, with a red face and a long beard, and he is bright; On the right, a creamy noodle looks like a cream scholar.

The three of them talked and laughed all the way, and they didn't notice that someone next door was observing him, so they just went into the private room and sat down.

"What a good thing it is that several officials are full of joy today." After only a moment, I heard Zhu Gui bring his men to deliver food.

"It's a good thing for this Zhu brother." It should sound like Song Jiang is the one who replied.

"This Zhu Tong brother was named the governor today, and I will come to celebrate." The voice was another young man.

Gu Haotian already understood that the red-faced man was the beautiful bearded man Zhu Tong.

"Shopkeeper Zhu has a lot of good food, as soon as it comes up, our brothers will be drunk today." This should be Zhu Tong's voice.

"It's a good thing, I can't be stingy, there is still a bottle of high-grade fairy drunk there, and I use it to have fun with you, and I have the right to be a congratulatory gift." Zhu Gui took the opportunity to stutter.

"Shopkeeper Zhu, I begged you for wine a few days ago, but you only said no, and you have it when the governor comes over today, so you can't look down on me." It was Song Jiang's voice again.

"Abshiji laughed, you have to take five or six bottles that day, but you are helpless, otherwise it will give me great courage, and I will not dare to lose the face of Oshi."

That Song Jiang snorted coldly and stopped talking.

"It's also that you know how to do things, hurry up and get it, and Zhu Dutou will not let you suffer in the future." The young man urged Zhu Gui to get the wine.

After that, it was the sound of the three of them ordering to eat and drink, and Gu Haotian no longer paid attention to it, and later Zhu Gui came in with a few side dishes, and listened to him introduce another one named Zhang Wenyuan, only to understand that it was Song Jiang's concubine Yan Poxi's concubine, and the one called Zhang San.

"You just said that the shopkeeper of the grocery store is surnamed Song, do you know where he is from?" Song Jiang said just now that he couldn't beg for wine, which made Gu Haotian have an association in his heart.

"This one I have found out clearly, it is from Songjiazhuang."

"And when did Song Abshiji beg you for wine?"

"Before the end of the day,...... Could it be that the petty official said that the grocery store was related to the Song Priest? Zhu Gui was not slow to reflect, "But people say that Song Zhisi is righteous and squandering money, and he is a righteous man." ”

Gu Haotian secretly thought in his heart, in his previous life, he had seen countless comments on Song Jiang, depreciating more and praising less, so he took advantage of this trivial matter to see how he was a person.

"Song Abbot has nothing to do with this, you just have to wait patiently for a while, if the grocery store is really dismal, you will be unwilling to lose this lucrative business, where you pretend to give up, then the Song shopkeeper will come to beg you, and then you will naturally understand the reason."

Gu Haotian was sure that the shop that was about to go bankrupt would not be able to give up this pie that fell from the sky, and now the change of hexagram is nothing more than being instigated by others to raise the asking price.

Zhu Gui was suspicious and went out to greet the guests again. Gu Haotian and Bian Xiang also worked hard to deal with the food and fill their stomachs.

Not to mention the noise of the tavern in this era, not to mention the noise downstairs in the neighborhood, it also comes into the private room on the second floor from time to time.

"If you want to talk about our Yuncheng County, now the name of benevolence and righteousness is famous in Jingdong." The next drinker threw out a gimmick.

"What do you mean?" There were idlers following suit.

"With only the two nicknames of jade-faced Meng Wei and timely rain, no one in Jingdong Road will be unconvinced." The drinker unraveled the mystery.

Everyone suddenly played together, and they talked about it.

"If you say that benevolence and righteousness, I am Song Sanlang of Songjiazhuang, who has helped countless people, and deserves to be the first." He spoke as if he was a person from Songjiazhuang.

……

"My brother's name is really not bad, even in this wine shop, it is also a legend." There was that Zhang Wenyuan's flattery from next door.

"Just do something from your heart, insignificant, insignificant." Song Jiang said modestly, but he couldn't help but be proud.

……

"What kind of Song Saburo have helped countless people, and who knows, the petty officials of my Gujiazhuang only helped 800 homeless people a few years ago, but they are like Buddhas in ten thousand families, and who in Yuncheng County doesn't know, my petty officials are not fighting for this title, and what face do you have to fight for the first."

The diners of Gujiazhuang downstairs seemed to be unconvinced by the diners of Songjiazhuang.

After that, there was a lot of discussion in the lobby, but it seemed that the fame of the jade-faced Meng Wei steadily suppressed the timely rain.

The next room fell silent for a moment.

"That kid from the Gu family is just a more than ten years old Huangkou child, so how can he compare to his brother when he does such a big thing." After a while, I heard Zhang Wenyuan speak.

"I didn't mean to be the first, but the ancient patriarchs acted like this, but they were pulling out the seedlings and encouraging them, just afraid of ruining that little official, it's really sighing."

That Song Jiangkou said that he had no intention, but he said that the ancient family was a person who deceived the world and stole fame.

Bian Xiang heard it clearly next door, his anger suddenly rose, and he got up to go over, but was stopped by Gu Haotian's look. But Gu Haotian already has a little bottom in his heart, this Song Jiang is probably really a villain who sells his reputation.

"I have also heard about the ancient petty officials, and they all say that they are young and old, and they have the style of the ancient Meng, which does not seem to be a fraud." That Zhu Tong is also upright, "I'm happy today, don't gossip, just drink." ”

I heard the sound of three people raising their glasses and drinking.

Gu Haotian was already interested at this point, and he got up and wanted to leave, but when he heard Zhang Wenyuan's words, he sat down again.

"Two elder brothers, I read a document in that public house today, saying that this year's spring famine disaster is more serious than the housing year, and there is a tragic situation of selling children and daughters in Nayi Prefecture." Zhang Wenyuan seemed to change the topic in order to relieve the embarrassment.

"Last year's drought and Jingdong's grain harvest was already poor, and this year's spring famine will inevitably be a little heavier." Song Jiang replied lightly.

After that, the three of them only cared about talking about some yamen trivial matters while drinking, and there was no more interesting content for Gu Haotian, so he and Bian Xiang went to the backyard guest room to wait for Zhu Gui.

"The spring famine in Yizhou, selling sons and daughters." Zhang Wenyuan had no intention of conveying the information, but it made Gu Haotian's heart heavy.

He felt that Yizhou must make the trip as soon as possible.
