Give up part of the interests and form an alliance of interests with the most powerful families in Taiyuan City, even if Cheng Chuliang leaves Taiyuan in the future, the Tang family's status in Taiyuan City will not decline because of this.

Tang Xiu's hand is playing beautifully, anyway, the planting method of watermelon is no longer a top secret, and by next year at the latest, the emperor will promote the planting on a large scale in the territory, Tang Xiu threw out this method at this time, that is, it was beneficial and there was no actual loss.

Moreover, if those allies want to grow watermelons with the same taste as the Tang family, they have to buy the Tang family's secret watermelon seeds from the Tang Mansion in large quantities, not to mention the price of the seeds, but as far as this cooperation method is concerned, the Tang family's dominant position in this alliance has been invisibly established.

Li Siwen looked at Tang Xiu with some surprise, this is by no means the way of thinking that a loser should have, the so-called biggest loser in Taiyuan City, isn't this guy deliberately pretending?

By the time Tang Xiu and Tang Panshi had taken care of everything completely, and by the time the crowd around the city gate had all dispersed, it was already completely dark.

"Uncle Shi," glancing at the city defense army that was about to leave as a team, Tang Xiu instructed Tang Panshi softly: "Distribute today's melon money to these brothers of the city defense army, it can be regarded as a little heart of our Tang Mansion, from tomorrow onwards, there is no need to bother these brothers of the city defense army." ”

Today's watermelons are sold for almost 40 yuan, and the conversion into later generations is almost more than 40,000 yuan, although it is not much, but it is not too little, and it can be regarded as a small fortune for these city defense sergeants who can't even receive the money every month.

"Yes, young master."

Forty yuan was scattered at once, this afternoon was a waste of work, although Tang Panshi was a little distressed, but he still did as Tang Xiu told him, he was also doing this kind of thing every day, but he didn't have such a big deal as their young master.

In the past two days, every time Tang Panshi gave these city defense troops, he only had two yuan at most, and in this way, it also made these city defense soldiers happy to do things, and they became more and more attentive when doing things.

"Thank you for the reward of Gongzi Tang, brother, I will accept it on behalf of the brothers!" A small leader walked out of the city defense army, arched his hand at Tang Xiu with a smile on his face, and said: "But whether I will come tomorrow or not, brother, I can't be the master, I have to go back and ask the commander of my family, please forgive Tang Gongzi!" ”

It is rare to encounter Tang Xiu who is a big loser like this with a single shot, and these people will naturally not be polite.

Tang Xiu bowed his hand and saluted back: "Thanks to the care of all the military masters in the past few days, Tang is grateful, and a little heart is not respectful. As for the king's side, the brothers will also have a heart to offer later, in short, everyone has worked hard these days! The Brotherhood will ask the servants to send a few more carts of watermelons to the city defense barracks for the military masters to quench their thirst in the summer. ”

"What's so embarrassing?" The smile on the little leader's face was even stronger, "But if the brothers know these intentions of Tang Gongzi, they will definitely be grateful, these watermelons in your mansion are now in demand even if they are difficult to buy with money, and the brothers are also rare." ”

"If you like it, brothers!" Tang Xiu said: "By tomorrow afternoon at the latest, there will be three carts of watermelons to serve, so that all the brothers can try it!" ”

It's just a few carts of watermelons, and it's just one or two thousand yuan in the afterlife, Tang Xiu really doesn't care about it, if he can rely on this to form a good relationship with the city defense army, it will definitely be worth the money.

Three cars?

The eyes of the little commander lit up, and a wave of joy rushed straight to his eyebrows, worthy of being a big loser in Tang, and the shot was really heroic, and more than two hundred things were thrown out, which was really a big deal.

However, although more than two hundred is a lot, it is nothing for their entire city defense army, the little leader values face more, in the case that everyone has no way to ask for melons, and they can't buy more than two melons every time, only their city defense army got three cars at once, and it was given away by Tang Dagongzi for free.

Why didn't you find out before, this Tang Xiu Tang is a big loser, but he is quite good at being a man?

The city defense army left happily with the money, and when he saw them walking away, Tang Panshi said to Tang Xiu with some resentment: "Young master, these people are all insatiable vampires, white-eyed wolves who can't be fed, they won't feel too much money you give them, if it weren't for Cheng Dadudu's help, it would be too late for these people to see the jokes, and it would be impossible for them to come out to help us." ”

Tang Xiu smiled lightly and asked Tang Panshi in a faint voice, "What's the matter, Uncle Shi thinks it's a bit too much for me to give them three carts of watermelons?" ”

"It's indeed a bit much," Tang Panshi responded: "Originally, those forty-odd old slaves already felt that it was a little too much, and one of these soldiers was more greedy than the other, if they let them take it easily, they might get an inch in the future." ”

"Greed is not terrible, as long as they dare to accept it, I dare to send it." Tang Xiu said lightly: "Don't they like the watermelons in our house?" In the future, I remember to send them a few cars every year, saying that the hands of people are short, and the mouths of people are short, even if they are really white-eyed wolves, if something really happens, they will first pick up the living to bite. Besides, I don't have high expectations for them, I just want to get acquainted with them first, so that I can act conveniently later. ”

"There are also those city guards guarding the east city gate, because the watermelons in our house have been somewhat affected, and you will have to send some money and some watermelons over in a while."

"Although these people are just inconspicuous little people, they may be able to play a big role at a critical time, so don't be stingy, just send forty times, especially the one named Yan Lao Er, who has suffered a lot of anger today, remember to give him more compensation, don't let him hate our Tang Mansion in his heart."

Forty strokes again?

The corners of Tang Panshi's mouth twitched, although the young master's loser temperament was a little more restrained than in the past, but he was still so lavish when he spent money, just a few small soldiers guarding the door, as for being so attentive?

"Yes, young master."

Tang Panshi replied with a bitter face, there is no way, the young master has an order, no matter how distressed and reluctant he is, he still has to do what he should do.

However, compared to Tang Panshi's distress, Li Siwen on the side couldn't help but have a little more appreciation in his eyes when he looked at Tang Xiu again.

Generous, active, and thorough, even a small gatekeeper can think about it, this Tang Xiu really doesn't look like a teenager, if such a person goes to the officialdom, the future must be limitless.

Seeing that Tang Panshi seemed a little reluctant, Tang Xiu glanced at Li Siwen next to him, and did not shy away from whispering to Tang Panshi: "Uncle Shi, don't think that with Cheng Dudu's care, our Tang family can sit back and relax, you can ignore or not care about some people's opinions, you have to remember that in this world, except for ourselves, no one is always reliable." ”

"If a person wants to be self-reliant, he must rely on himself!"

Listening to Tang Xiu's words, Tang Panshi and Li Siwen's figures were shocked, and some waves could not help but rise in their hearts.
