Chapter 84: Black Dog

Li Qingshan chatted with the horse blacksmith for a long time that day before leaving. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was as if he had stumbled upon a huge treasure, and he was determined to count all the treasures in the treasure before leaving.

Ma blacksmith is really a descendant of a famous craftsman, he should not be called a blacksmith, he should be called an all-round craftsman.

In addition to being able to strike iron, carve money, and print counterfeit money, this guy can also burn pottery bricks, all kinds of carpentry work, mud work, and is proficient in architectural design......

Anyway, there are a lot of things in the Seven, Seven, Eighty, and Eight Society, which opened Li Qingshan's eyes and was also greatly impressed.

Although the social status of ancient Chinese craftsmen was not high, in fact, a large number of them had reached the realm of forgetting their names and fortunes in their pursuit of skills, and in Li Qingshan's view, they were quite awesome and worthy of respect.

Compared with those heroes who galloped on the battlefield, they used real inventions and creations to benefit the people.

In the long river of time, heroes are fleeting, but the various inventions left by craftsmen can be passed down and silently dedicated until they are eliminated by the times.

For example, Ma Jun's keel waterwheel.

At this time, Li Qingshan also had a great plan in his heart, and he had been struggling with whether some technical problems could be solved, and after an in-depth exchange with the horse blacksmith, he finally realized it......

※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the past two days since returning from the horse blacksmith, Li Qingshan has been thinking about building a house for his family, and his plan has something to do with building a house.

Besides, he is also a lord anyway, the house is so broken, I am afraid that it will not be easy to marry a wife in the future, and he still wants to have three wives and four concubines.

Even if you can't have three wives and four concubines. Marrying a wife and having a baby is a normal plan for life, and you have to plan it early.

If this future mother-in-law comes to the door to take a look, it is strange that she is willing to marry her daughter to him in such a dilapidated farmhouse courtyard.

Which mother-in-law marries her daughter in the future, the first thing is not to ask the house first? As soon as I heard that there was no house. The future mother-in-law's face suddenly turned cold, and she immediately changed into a passer-by aunt with a cold attitude, isn't that a matter of minutes?

Therefore, you have to hurry up when you build a house, and you have to build a house that is awesome, the kind with its own special effects, which can turn passers-by into mothers-in-law directly in seconds.

Li Qingshan has this confidence.

And he has saved a lot of money to build a house. On top of that, now we have the land.

The holy decree made it clear that in addition to the title, there are also eight houses of homestead land and one hundred acres of land, all of which are all money in Li Qingshan's opinion, and they must be used well.

Regarding the homestead, he asked Huang Laoxi. At this time, 30 steps of land is a "house".

Even if one step is only counted as half a meter, a house is an area of 15 meters x 15 meters. That is, 225 square meters, and Hachiyake has a full 1,800 square meters. This is still smaller, in fact, it should be more than 2000 square meters.

2000 square meters, it's really cool and crooked, you can toss hard.

And when Huang Laoxie went to the post to go through the tax reduction and exemption procedures, he asked him by the way, and he chose wherever he chose the homestead. As long as you don't occupy the road and don't encroach on other people's private land, it's fine.

In addition, since the private casting incident, the horse blacksmith sent a batch of keels from the ground cage the next day.

Obviously, Li Qingshan, a special customer, confessed to it. The horse blacksmith was very attentive, and even only accepted the money for the materials, but when Li Qingshan insisted on giving it, he symbolically accepted a little.

Another reason why the speed is so fast may be because the blacksmith finally stopped minting coins privately, and the time has suddenly increased.

After getting the keel of the ground cage, Li Qingshan went to the market again, retrieved the hemp nets that had been customized early, went home and put a set of keels on it, and then tied it tightly with a rope, and dozens of ground cages were ready.

It's not a hassle to make.

Told Zhang Erling Tiezhu that these strange-shaped cages can catch fish, but they don't need to be repaired, and these hairy boys are all unbelieving, each holding a flip in their hands, and finally taking the letter out of the boat.

The next day, when the fish came back, they were shouting around Li Qingshan, chattering and asking, saying when they would get some strange cages again.

That cage is so godly, not only can it really catch fish, but it can even catch crabs!

Because the cage sank to the bottom of the lake, although the pigs' brisket was added, it could only catch fish species that infested the lower layer, but it was precisely because of this that I was lucky enough to catch crabs. The fish, plus the lake crabs, are also harvested, no wonder those hairy boys are all crazy.

Recently, the whole village has been scared of eating fish, and now it is a good thing that there is finally a crab to improve the taste.

The most important point is that this cage really doesn't seem to be broken, so basically it doesn't need to be overhauled and repaired for a few days like a fishing net.

Zhang Erleng and they all thought it was very magical, but they didn't know that such a cage would often be seen in later generations as long as they went to the fishermen's homes.

For Li Qingshan, the greater significance lies in the fact that most of the fish caught in the cage are alive and well, and are most suitable for cormorant training.

At noon that day, after lunch, Li Qingshan came to the backyard of the North and South Wine Shop as promised and discussed with Chen Ruolan about expanding the inn.

However, after he arrived, he saw a few books on the desk, and saw that Chen Ruolan was flipping through them, so he couldn't help but pick up one and look at it.

And then it's a little messy.

"Aphid Treatment" is even pirated?

The content of these books is exactly the same as the original version, but the editor's name has been tampered with and changed to some cats and dogs that he has never heard of, which shocked Li Qingshan.

Although it is ridiculous to talk about intellectual property rights in ancient times, it is too blatant, right?

"Li Gongzi, since you and I have been rewarded by the imperial court, these pirated books have come out of the market."

Li Qingshan was a little puzzled for a while: "Miss Chen, there is always a reason for everything, the genuine books we print are distributed for free, and they spend a lot of effort to pirate these books, obviously they can't generate any profits, so what are they going for?" ”

Chen Ruolan shook her head: "I also think this matter is a little strange. I didn't figure it out for a while......"

Seeing that Li Qingshan was worried, she said again: "...... But Li Gongzi, please rest assured, I have already asked Uncle Qi to investigate, and I believe that there will be preliminary results soon. ”

Li Qingshan nodded, and immediately put away these pirated books and put them aside. took a sip of tea and listened to Chen Ruolan talk about today's business - store expansion.

Here's the thing, there is an abandoned land behind the North and South Inn, which used to be an old shop, which seemed to sell all kinds of ready-to-wear, shoes and socks and other things, but later because of poor management, the shopkeeper could not pay off the debt, so the shop was mortgaged.

After several turnovers, the shop was taken back by the government. After re-selling. The shop was demolished and had to be rebuilt, but because the location here was not good, the buyer suddenly regretted it and did not want to invest any more money in it, so it became a waste of land, and the ruins were thrown away, and finally returned to the hands of the government.

This time the treatment of aphids has been meritorious. Didn't Chen Ruolan also appreciate the three houses of the homestead, she thought. Can you take this opportunity to take this land and use it to expand the size of the inn and liquor store?

She is considered an outsider, and not long after she came here, the business of the liquor store and the inn was resisted and suppressed by the local merchants, and the location of the two shops was not good.

Relying on Li Qingshan's soy sauce, the business of the liquor store is now slowly improving. But the inn is slow to open the market.

If you are poor, you will think about change, Chen Ruolan wants to take down this land again and see how to plan it again.

This piece of land is actually not facing the street, and its value to others may not be great, but Chen Ruolan already has two shops on the street. And it's right in front of this land, so for her, this land is just right to use.

Actually, she had the idea on her first day here. The problem now is that this land is a commercial land, and it is obviously not a homestead for rewards, and the government will not necessarily agree to it.

Chen Ruolan wants to exchange the rewarded residential land several times her size from the government for this land, because the price of commercial land is obviously higher than that of residential land. There has been no precedent for this kind of thing before, and I don't know if it will work, but Chen Ruolan knows that as long as Gao Ji is willing to nod, it will be done.

In ancient times, the power of the Yiyi Order was still quite large.

Last time, Gao Ji obviously had a good impression of Li Qingshan, and Li Qingshan was also the second owner of the shop, so Chen Ruolan brought Li Qingshan to discuss the matter together.

At first, Chen Ruolan was a little worried that Li Qingshan would not agree, but she didn't expect Li Qingshan to agree with her vision, this land is indeed very valuable to them.

"Miss Chen, I heard that this time the aphid treatment is meritorious, not only you and me, but also Lord Gao was also highly rewarded by the imperial court, and suddenly rose from the seventh grade to the sixth grade. Regarding the land, I will make a special trip to the post house later, and talk to Master Gao about good things, he should be accommodating. ”

Li Qingshan is very sure in his heart, because for Gao Qi, being able to boost the local economy can be regarded as a political achievement, and he has prepared a heavyweight killer weapon for this.

Chen Ruolan didn't know what Li Qingshan relied on, but after all, he had a knighthood now, and he was always better than himself when he spoke. In the past, it was impossible for a merchant to go directly to Gao Ji, which is why she has been delaying this matter until now, but now that Li Qingshan, the lord, is rushing to the front, these are obviously all out of the question.

I didn't expect to give him 30% of the shares at the beginning, and there is still such a benefit, which is really a long-term stock. Thinking of this, she was a little proud of her own eyes, and said with a smile: "Then there is Lao Li Gongzi!" ”

Tang'er smiled like a begonia blooming in the wind, full of youthful vitality, she was more like a slim orchid, with a different elegant style, although Li Qingshan had seen many beauties in his previous life, he couldn't help but feel his heart flutter at this time.

"Miss Chen, what are you doing when you say such things, you forgot, I also have a share in this shop."

Li Qingshan paused for a moment and continued: "Besides, I actually have some ideas recently, your expansion plan coincides with me, it seems that we ...... There is a tacit understanding! ”

Looking at the face of the girl in front of him, he suddenly felt some strange feelings in his heart, but Chen Ruolan's dark eyes suddenly lit up: "What do you think about Gongzi Li, can you tell Ruolan about it?" ”

She no longer has any doubts about Li Qingshan's ability now, and she has seen many times how huge the energy of his ideas can be.

Li Qingshan was about to elaborate, but there was a noisy sound from the shop outside.

Chen Ruolan was looking forward to his idea, and wanted to say that she didn't need to pay attention to it, but who knew that the voice was getting louder and louder. In the midst of the noise, there seemed to be a faint sound of Tang'er.

The two glanced at each other, then they both put down their teacups, got up and walked out to take a closer look, but saw that a large group of people had already gathered at the door of the wine shop at this time.

However, the crowd was a little strange, loosely arranged in a large circle. But the onlookers seemed to have fear on their faces, and they didn't dare to get too close.

Tang'er Xing's eyes widened, her head lowered, her lips pouted, and she stared at the center of the crowd.

Li Qingshan smiled, I don't know who offended this unruly beautiful girl again.

Wang Liu and Xiao Liuzi, father and son, looked vigilant, each holding a wooden stick, protecting Tang'er in front of her, for fear that she would make a mistake.

The surrounding crowd pointed and pointed, and some people who had just passed by the unknown situation also wanted to squeeze in to see the excitement. But when he saw the protagonist in the scene, he was so frightened that he hurriedly left. Most of the onlookers who stayed behind were bold strong men.

Li Qingshan and Chen Ruolan were also a little curious, walked up to pull out the crowd, and looked closely, but saw that there was a huge black dog in the center of the crowd.

The black dog was a little strange, and was now curled up in the shade of a tree, gnawing on a piece of wood on the ground.

The wood can't be bitten off. I can't swallow it, I can only arch it with my mouth. It was dripping all over the floor.

Tang'er also had a wooden stick in her hand, obviously wanting to use her own brutal means to drive the dog away, and when she saw her sister and Li Qingshan coming out, she smiled and said, "Sister, I didn't expect this vicious dog to alarm the two of you." ”

Chen Ruolan hurriedly asked what was going on. Tang'er explained that the dog came out of nowhere these days, and it was always circling around here, which scared many customers into eating at the restaurant, which greatly affected the normal operation of the wine store and inn, and she was upset. I wanted to blast it away.

Although Chen Ruolan knew her temperament, she also shook her head again and again when she heard this. If a girl from another family saw such a big dog, she was afraid that it would be too late to hide, and only her rude sister would dare to act so boldly.

She hurriedly asked Xiao Liuzi and Uncle Wang Liu, father and son, to go back to the shop first, so as not to delay the business of the shop.

Xiao Liuzi refused to leave, and said in his mouth: "Miss, this black dog is crazy, Miss Fang Cai was almost bitten by it, you ...... Be careful. ”

Li Qingshan had been staring at the black dog just now, but when he heard this, his face was as white as paper, he turned around, rushed to Tang'er, grabbed her little hand and looked at it for a while.

The little hand of the girl Bai Yan was suddenly grasped by him, and he was a little stunned for a while, and he was stunned in place.

Stinky boy, don't you know what it means to kiss men and women?

Who knew that Li Qingshan had to inch in, and actually rolled up her sleeves.

The girl's wrist was as white and flawless as mutton fat, soft as a bone in her hand, and it felt very good, but at this time, Li Qingshan had no intention of appreciating these at all, and he was a little relieved to see that there was no slightest wound or scratch on his wrist.

Chen Ruolan was also a little dumbfounded, Li Gongzi has always been respectful and polite, and he doesn't look like a prodigal son, how can he be so overstepped in public?

Li Qingshan couldn't care about the difference between men and women at this time, he thought about it, and asked loudly: "Tang'er, you weren't bitten by this dog, right?" ”

The girl retracted her hands violently, lowered her sleeves, and her little face rose redder than the sunset.

She bit her lip, but didn't answer, just suddenly raised her right foot and angrily kicked at the disciple in front of her.

Li Qingshan didn't dodge, he stood there and took this kick, his face that was anxious just now smiled at this time, and said with a beating: "Isn't it okay to be a lady?" ”

Lady, your sister, you are so light-hearted, are you embarrassed to call someone a lady?

The girl actually had a fawn in her heart, but she didn't forget to slander this stinky boy.

This girl can hit and kick, so she shouldn't have been bitten. Last time, she was scratched by two stick insects and called like that, if she was really bitten by a dog, I am afraid that she would have been called to heaven.

Thinking of this, Li Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Ruolan saw that his expression was very abnormal, and with her understanding of Li Qingshan, she knew that there must be a reason for this matter, so she hurriedly asked what was wrong.

Li Qingshan replied vaguely, "There is a big problem with this dog", and turned around and asked Xiao Liuzi where this dog came from.

Xiao Liuzi couldn't say clearly, only said that the dog had been appearing for two or three days, and he had been circling around the wine store, and he was not afraid of people, and his behavior was strange.

Li Qingshan was worried, and asked again and again if anyone had been bitten by this dog, Xiao Liuzi stood for a long time, as if he didn't remember who had been bitten by it after all, and Li Qingshan was relieved.

"Li Gongzi, what's wrong with this dog?"

Li Qingshan's face was serious, he glanced at the dog on the ground, sighed in his heart, and said, "Preliminary judgment, this dog is afraid of rabies!" ”

Rabies?

Chen Ruolan had never heard of this disease, so she couldn't help but glance at the dog on the ground, and muttered in a low voice: "What is rabies?" ”

Li Qingshan scratched his head and motioned for the two sisters to quickly stand back first, not too close to the black dog.

When the onlookers saw them retreating, they hurriedly followed two steps back.

Of course, there is a reason why Li Qingshan is so cautious.

Rabies is very scary, and if you take a bite, you have a high chance of being infected. Although the disease has an incubation period, once the disease occurs, there is basically no chance of survival in ancient times.

Even in the case of the development of medical technology in later generations, if the vaccine is not injected in time, once the disease occurs, the mortality rate will reach 100%.

It's 100 percent, when he thinks of the horror of this disease, Li Qingshan's scalp is a little numb.

This dog can't be left, the sooner you get rid of it, the better!

Tang'er was touched by him just now, and her face was still flushed at this time, and she lowered her head as if she wanted to hide in her sister's arms.

What kind of rabies, this kid shouldn't be making excuses for his frivolous behavior just now, right?

At this time, an old man in the crowd suddenly lost his voice and shouted, "How did this dog come here?" (To be continued.) )
