Mr. Gu and they returned to a farmer's house, so naturally they would not eat this family's food, and someone from the Zhou Wangfu sent food from the Zhuangzi.

Chicken, duck, sugar packets, stir-fried vegetables, rice, these ordinary people can't see food during the New Year, they are all eaten by the people in the class. Mr. Gu himself eats duck tongue, sheep's head meat, and chicken comb, and the staple food is simple, Nanjing's small soup dumplings. This is made by a chef specially invited from Nanjing, an authentic Nanjing taste.

The first generation of King Zhou grew up in Nanjing, so after sealing to Kaifeng, he also transferred a lot of cooks from Nanjing, although the diet of King Zhou's mansion was affected by Kaifeng, but he still did not forget Jinling cuisine. Therefore, these subordinates are also a symbol of their status by eating food in Nanjing.

Don't look at the general manager Gu is just a general manager sent by the Zhou Wangfu, but the shops, fields, and workshops under his name are no less than those of the rich family. As long as they underreported some of the harvest and profits to the royal government, they could reap a lot of benefits. Especially if the vassal king can't go out of the city, then they, the stewards of the expatriate, will live a more nourishing life.

"Come, come, come," Manager Gu stopped eating after eating a few chopsticks, so he beckoned: "Huang Ertou, sit, sit down and eat together." ”

Huang Ertou nodded and thanked him: "Manager Xie, Manager Xie." After that, you are not welcome, as soon as you sit down, you will eat it with your hands. Even if you are burned by the oil soup in the small soup bag and inhale the cold air, you will eat half of the dishes on the table in an instant.

This Huang Ertou is a broken household, and today he can let Manager Gu come to his house because Huang Ertou promised to be the first to say that the more than 3,200 acres of fields around Zhaohugang are barren fields and dedicate them to the Zhou Palace. The reward is to be able to make a living in the Zhuangzi of the Zhou Palace. This yellow Ertou is quite smart, he didn't ask for food, gold and silver, but for a job, that is, a long-term meal ticket.

Huang Ertou stopped and said humbly: "Boss, can you let the villain's old mother taste these things?" ”

Manager Gu was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said, "Well, yes, it's a filial son!" Give it to the old lady. Come on, and send a small soup dumpling to the old lady. ”

"Don't dare to be the chief manager and call it 'old lady', thank you for the reward." Huang Ertou bowed for a while, and then took these dishes and food to the old lady in the other room.

After Huang Ertou came back, Manager Gu asked with a smile: "When can you do the dedication?" ”

Huang Ertou replied: "It's almost there." The villain heard that a 'Li Gongzi' on the other side of the river had already agreed with these dozen or so families to let them all farm for 'Li Gongzi'. As soon as they are gone, the villain goes to make offerings. ”

"Who is 'Li Gongzi'?" Manager Gu nodded and asked. Mr. Gu is not only the general manager of Qi County, but also the large royal property of Kaocheng (Lankao), Tongxu, and Wei's family, so he is not very familiar with the affairs of Qi County. The reason why he personally presided over this time was because the donation of tens of thousands of acres of beach land on the edge of the Yellow River has long been extinct, and the donation of these thousands of acres is already the greatest achievement in recent years, so he wants to grasp the credit in his hands.

Huang Ertou replied: "It seems to be a leader of the township soldiers, and the villain doesn't know very well." ”

The steward of Zhuangzi in Qixian County replied: "He is the general of the township soldiers, and he is also a capable person, and in a short period of time, he has circled a lot of fields. A large area to the north of us is occupied by him. But it was far from the river, and the villain ignored it. ”

"Why bother?" The attendant interjected: "You just have to make the first contribution, as for those Diao people, who would dare to take advantage of the palace?!" ”

Manager Gu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, the prince doesn't want to ruin his reputation, and Su Jing is not easy to get along with." It's only a few days, just wait. If they really don't know the depths, it's not too late to do it. ”

"The villain is reckless." The attendant apologized quietly.

Manager Gu said with a smile: "Then three days later, after this matter, I will still urge the New Year's gifts from all over the country to enter the palace." ”

"The villain obeys." Huang Ertou bowed in agreement.

After lunch, the matter was settled, so Mr. Gu left Zhaohugang under the guard of a group of people, and prepared to go back to the grange for a while.

But when they first walked to the river, they saw a group of soldiers with swords erecting stakes and holding ropes to connect Zhuangzi, which seemed to be trying to enclose the land.

Manager Gu gave him a look, and his attendant immediately stepped forward and asked, "What are you guys doing?!" ”

The soldiers glanced back at the group, no one replied, and continued with the work at hand.

Qian Er walked over and glanced at these people, all of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and some were carrying weapons, and their eyes were fierce. He knew that this was a member of a large family, so he clenched his fists and said, "We are carrying out military affairs, please leave as soon as possible." ”

"Enclosing land is also a military affair?!" The attendant continued to question loudly.

Qian Er frowned and said: "Military affairs are military affairs, there is no need to talk to you!" Leave now, and don't affect us! ”

Chief Manager Gu was impatient, waved his hand, and ordered: "Let them stop it, this is the land of our palace, how can these soldiers be allowed to do anything wrong?!" ”

After receiving the instructions, more than a dozen family members behind him immediately rushed forward, brutally pushed Li Yan's soldiers away, pulled out the wooden stakes that had been knocked down, and cut the ropes with knives. And shouted: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! This is the land of King Zhou's mansion, you dare to enclose land here, you are impatient?! This is a great crime of complicity! I want to punish the nine clans! Get out of the way! ”

The soldiers who wanted to resist stopped and were pushed aside, not daring to do it again.

At this time, Li Mu came over on horseback, and he saw the chaos here, and it was his own soldiers who were being bullied, so he roared angrily: "What are you doing?!" How dare you attack the officers and soldiers?! Then he yelled at his men: "You guys, the knife in your waist is an ornament?!" Array! Destroy these thieves for me! ”

Qian Er ran over and reported in a low voice: "General, they claim to be from the Zhou Palace, and this place is also the land of the Zhou Palace." ”

"What!" Li Mu shouted loudly: "This is our land!" Where did the liar come from, and he dared to pretend to be someone from the Zhou Palace?! ”

Manager Gu took out a waist card, threw it to Li Mu, and said, "Take a good look, I am the head of the palace!" Get your people out of this place at once, it's already in the name of the palace! ”

Li Mu looked at the waist card and knew that it was not fake. But this land was set by them, such a large field, how could they be frightened away by the name of the palace? So he didn't answer immediately.

Mr. Gu said lightly: "Dare to seize the vassal king's property, dare to attack the vassal king's family, it is like a rebellion!" Zhu Jiu Clan! Don't be fooled! ”
