Mai received a reply from George Antruc saying that the Simão soldiers should return to receive Carter's succession ceremony under the patronage of Anna Upper Gil.

After reading the letter, Lao Mai frowned and stroked his beard, folded the letter paper, put it in his arms, and ran out in a hurry, rushing straight to the detention of Wang Jifu.

Suddenly, Wang Ji heard that the door of the house was opened, so frightened that he hurriedly turned around, Lao Mai carried the gray old robe, rushed over, and without saying a word, Fang ran to the house and sat down to pick up the osmanthus cake and ate it.

Wang Ji stepped forward suspiciously and said, "What's wrong with you, Lao Mai?

Lao Mai smiled and said: "It's good to say, it's easy to say, we have two news to tell you, one is good news and the other is bad news, which one do you listen to first?"

Wang Ji was stunned, Lao Mai doesn't like to joke, and he estimated that it was not a joke, so he said: "If that's the case, I'll listen to the bad news first, maybe the good news can wash away my sadness." ”

Lao Mai pointed at Wang Ji and squinted his eyes and laughed: "I know that you have this problem, don't worry, the bad news is that tomorrow you will beat down all the osmanthus flowers and make them into osmanthus cakes. ”

In Wang Ji's opinion, what kind of news is this? Seeing Fang Cai's old Mai's face, he was so frightened that he thought he was going to kill himself, but now when he heard this, he suddenly felt comfortable, and his fat wife was much more pleasing to the eye.

Wang Ji smiled and said, "What is the good news?"

"It's good to say, it's good to say, we're going to withdraw from Peicheng, but you have to exchange your governance methods, which is great news for you, Lao Wang. ”

Sure enough, it is great news, Wang Ji has long wanted to see through the Ximang Northern Wilderness, these people will quickly retreat, this day is like a prison bird, not to say, when is it a head?

Wang Ji, who was excited, was about to jump up, and laughed and said: "This is easy to say, my governance method is very simple, you see if there are tenants in Peicheng, whether there are landlords? No, each family gets a piece of land, planting freely, more work, less work, pay taxes every year to get a quarter of the harvest, it's as simple as that." ”

Lao Mai nodded and said: "I see, I see, no wonder you have managed Peicheng in an orderly manner and launched this concept, you must do a good job of accounting, accounting." ”

Speaking of this concept, Wang Ji clearly knew that if this concept was developed throughout the country, the economy of Yuelong would surely develop, the landlords would disappear, the people would be free and equal, no landlords would crush them, no officials would collude with the landlords and be greedy, and they would all work very hard.

The point is that there will be no uprising in the South now.

If we want to implement this concept throughout the country, we must overthrow the landlords, and the landlords and officials have already been linked in the same vein in interests, and it is impossible to overthrow them, because the landlords have official covers.

At the beginning, Wang Ji ran around the street because he was drunk and rode his wife, ruined the atmosphere, and was demoted to Peicheng as the prefect by Liu Er in a fit of anger.

Whoever is the prefect will lose face.

Liu Er put down his ruthlessness when he belittled Wang Ji and said that if Peicheng was still so poor in three years, he would behead Wang Ji's dog!

The timid Wang Ji was very afraid of death, and with a turn of his mind, he ordered the guards to kill all the landlords, and convicted him of secretly colluding with the Northern Wilderness to engulf Peicheng.

Cut first and then play, there is no proof of death, even if Wang Ji speaks, no one can do anything about him, who expected Wang Ji to implement this concept, and it only took one year to become one of the richest cities in Yuelong.

Wang Ji is still a good official except for being drunk and having a little stinky problem.

Now, Wang Jile bloomed, rolled up his sleeves and got up and ordered the little maid to take the guy and said, "Let's go, go and fight osmanthus, I want to make a lot of osmanthus cakes." ”

Lao Mai laughed and followed out, to the blooming osmanthus tree full of yellow osmanthus trees together with Wang Ji to play osmanthus, the two of them talked and laughed like children, maybe almost the twilight of life more understand the importance of love, want to cherish the time together.

One afternoon, a lot of osmanthus flowers, Wang Ji taught Lao Mai how to make osmanthus cakes, how to steam the osmanthus softly, knead, and the fragrance overflowed, so that it was delicious.

In the middle of the night, Wang Ji ordered the maid to do it, and he drank a few glasses of wine with Lao Mai and chatted about the past.

Wang Ji said, Lao Mai is the most timid in my life.

Lao Mai replied, I can see it.

Wang Ji went on to say, we are all old, and you don't have a wife or a son in the end, but you are a poor man.

Lao Mai smiled and said, there is no wife or son, but we like girls, beautiful and tight.

Wang Ji said with disdain, that woman is only afraid of being in the arms of others, teaching others to do things, teaching their children to be people, where is your share of a shriveled old man?

Lao Mai disagreed, just pretend psychologically.

Wang Ji laughed and said, if you can't steal cucumbers, you can find pumpkins, don't think about cucumbers all day long, cucumbers and pumpkins are melons, why don't you marry a beautiful daughter-in-law if you can't marry a beautiful daughter-in-law, anyway, they are all daughters-in-law, they are all women, and they can have children.

Lao Mai smiled and said, old, old, it's useless to say this, don't worry, don't worry, as long as you old friends are still better than anything.

Wang Ji raised his glass and said, I respect you, don't kill me next time you step into Peicheng, don't kill me in your life, okay?

Lao Mai was a little drunk and said, if you want to kill early, don't kill you, don't kill you.

..............................！

In the end, when Lao Mai retired from the army, he took the osmanthus cake made by Wang Ji, and left Peicheng with the soldiers, and went north quickly.

Dag rode a horse and asked, "Lao Mai, why did you say that the Mid-Autumn Festival was withdrawn before, and this will be a hurry to withdraw before the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Lao Mai closed the book and said, "It's easy to say, in case you encounter Qi Hongtian's ambush, it will be difficult to deal with." ”

At this time, they had passed the northern crossing, and the army came to the northern wilderness, and in the white snow, the army wriggled like a long black snake.

They slowed down their progress, because Lao Mai hadn't finished reading this heavy "Simon Daily Notes" and didn't understand the profundity of it.

As for the wind department, Lao Mai deliberately delayed time and forward speed under the pretext of snow road difficulties.

One night, Dag asked Lao Mai, who was lying under the lamp reading a book, "Lao Mai, why do you want to delay time, wouldn't it be better to speed up to Simon? Why should you suffer the sin of frost and snow here?"

For Lao Mai to read books, Dag is accustomed to it, and thinks it is normal and does not ask much.

Lao Mai turned over and smiled: "The answer is in the book." ”

Dag was puzzled, he had read this book, there was nothing curious, it was very ordinary, this book was just a dialogue and discussion of several people Simang, neither a martial arts book, nor a cultivation book, there was nothing to see, I always thought that Lao Mai really had no books to read to find such a book to solve his cravings.

Dag then asked, "Is there any secret to this book?"

Lao Mai glanced at him and continued to read: "You will understand later." ”
