Chapter Twenty-Five: The Great Louzi (II)
"Oh? Lord Totong is going to withdraw Don Hatch's errand? There has to be an explanation, right? ”
The flower garden of the General's Mansion, the small bridge and flowing water, elegant and chic, the autumn is shining, on the grass next to the pavilion, a few frost-resistant flower buds are blooming, gorgeous and incomparable.
Fura asked quietly as he fiddled with the birdcage hanging in the gallery.
Ye Zhao sat at the stone table, drinking tea with a teacup, listening to Fu Liang's words, and said indifferently: "Cowardice is useless, more than 200 soldiers are brave, and they are competing to abandon their weapons to save their lives, just to avoid conflict with Yangyi, if this point is completely lost, how can you lead the troops?" ”
Fura fiddled with the thrush bouncing in the cage, and after a while, said, "Lord Totong wants to have someone available, right?" ”
Ye Zhao said calmly: "The general still remembers Shenbao, right?" Leading troops to fight is an expert, and he has handled the changes on Hong Kong Island this time, and he is not afraid of danger, which can be of great use. ”
Fura's hand playing with the thrush stopped, frowning slightly: "He? Now it's just a member of the first soldier, and he's going to be a sinful, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right? ”
Ye Zhao said with a smile: "The firearms battalion wants a new atmosphere, and uses talents without sticking to one pattern, and the lower officials are willing to do their best to protect him." ”
Fura paced a few steps, slightly hesitating. It was said that Fu Liang had visited Ye Mingchen before, and if there was a problem with the new army, Fu Liang naturally had to discuss with Ye Mingchen, the governor of Liangguang and the minister of trade with Wukou. Who knew that Ye Mingchen said calmly that his fold had already been handed over, and it was his idea to go to Hong Kong Island to negotiate with the Five Trade Cooperatives, and the conflict between the new army and Yangyi ended in a complete victory for the new army, which frustrated Yangyi's spirit. Dutong Jingxiang has a good way to govern the army, and he is outside the territory of the Qing Dynasty, but the emperor has a good way to teach, and the ministers are able to assist him.
Fu Liang almost got angry, and originally wanted to go on a post with Ye Zhijun to play Jingxiang, who knew that this old thing was the first to take the lead in an excerpt of singing praises of virtue, Jingxiang not only had no fault, but became a hero, and correspondingly, he Ye Mingchen, the Minister of Commerce, was also able to do a good job. For Ye Zhijun, the reversal is a hundred times stronger than the fault of Jingxiang, so he can be an official, no wonder the saint is long, and it is rumored in Beijing that the emperor has the intention of awarding him a scholar of the palace.
Such a good opportunity was inserted by Ye Mingchen, Fu Liang was sullen, and he was thinking hard about countermeasures in the house, and he didn't want to let go of the opportunity in vain.
And Ye Zhao came to take the opportunity to remove the commander of the new army, Fu Liang was even more depressed, paced two steps, and said quietly: "This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, right?" A battalion pipe belt always needs to be carefully considered, and it cannot be abolished because of the performance of one thing at a time. ”
Ye Zhao nodded slightly: "What the Lord said is that in this way, the divine protection can first promote the Zhenwu camp to help, and then the lower officials will carefully consider the shortcomings and lengths of the two." "But he retreated to the next best thing, and first promoted Shenbao to the deputy of the battalion.
Fu Liang hesitated and nodded, but he was afraid that he didn't know how angry he was.
……
Ye Zhao didn't know what the capital's evaluation of the changes on Hong Kong Island would be, and now he could only wait, after all, it was not the afterlife, and with a phone call, he could understand the situation in Beijing. In addition, even if it is 600 miles urgent, it will take more than ten days to come and go.
Foshan Town is the first important town in Guangzhou, bringing together more than 200 workshops, more than 17,000 silk weaving workers, cotton weaving workers up to 50,000 people, and the country's 18 provinces have guild halls in Foshan.
When I heard that there was a problem with Jiner's grandmother's sale of real estate, Ye Zhao didn't care that she used herself as a gun, but she was happy to take a walk in Foshan, just to see the style of this handicraft base of the Qing Dynasty.
However, the Tao family's Zhuangzi is in the countryside, and the carriage passes by the official road on the east side of Foshan Town.
The two carriages in front and behind, the head of the carriage with a red curtain cover and purple trim, are in line with the usual magnificence of the hostess.
Ye Zhao sat in the second carriage, dressed as a rich boy, and Ruisi and Suna followed on both sides of the carriage on horseback.
Wangjiawa, thinking that the village should have been a big family surnamed Wang, but now there are hundreds of acres of fertile land owned by the Tao family, and the village is scattered with more than 100 cottages, almost all of which are tenant farmers and long-term laborers.
There is an ancient tree with lush foliage at the east end of the village, which is full of greenery. The first one in the east is a magnificent courtyard with blue walls and gray tiles, black lacquered wooden doors and stone steps, which is completely different from other homes. This family is the head of the Tao family's village in Wangjiawa, and is responsible for helping the Tao family collect land rent and lease land and farm tools.
Grandma Jin Er and Ye Zhao parked the carriage and horses in front of the hospital, and Zhuangtou Wang Mazi had already greeted him, he was in his forties, as the name suggests, he had smallpox when he was a child, his face was spotted, and his small eyes were even more cunning.
"Madam, you have arrived, Master Chen, Master Du and Master Zhang are all waiting!" Wang Mazi smiled, as for Ye Zhao, he just glanced at it, and didn't see it mentioned in his wife's letter, so he didn't know who this rich son was. The three masters in his mouth are the Foshan squires who are ready to buy Wangjiawa's fields.
Wangjiawa's fertile land is the most important of several fields of the Tao family, it can be said that it was once the lifeblood of the Tao family, after all, even if the merchant made a fortune, he also liked to buy the field the most, which is the tradition of thousands of years.
Chen, Du, and Zhang are the three masters of Foshan, who have long coveted the Tao family's land in Foshan, and heard that the Tao family sold land, so it was better to see the flesh and blood hungry wolf pounce on it?
And when the glamorous, snowy and crispy Grandma Jin Er walked into the side hall, Chen, Du, and Zhang all stood up with a smile, and they were not young, but their eyes followed the second grandmother of Jin Er, and the charming bones swayed lightly, but they couldn't help but be eager, after all, unless they were prostitutes, they rarely saw other wives, let alone such a glamorous and unattainable noble lady as Grandma Jiner.
However, when Grandma Jin Er sat down, the three masters immediately withdrew their eyes and sat down one by one.
Ye Zhao looked funny, sat in the first place on the right, shook the folding fan, and said in his heart that the three masters didn't know how much they wanted to steal Grandma Jiner, but unfortunately, these people knew at a glance that they were bold and small, and they could only dream of spring.
Grandma Jin Er did not introduce Ye Zhao, and no one knew his identity, and Master Chen, Du, and Zhang San thought that he was also here to compete for land, and their eyes were quite unfriendly.
For the tigress of Grandma Jiner, Ye Zhao didn't know why, as if the impression of this "stupid as a pig" had never been able to turn around, knowing that this was a powerful character, and even selling the Tian property that the Tao family regarded as the lifeblood of the Tao family now might be a show for herself, making her take it lightly, thinking that she was really ready to obediently listen to her own mercy, but she didn't know what tricks she was going to play behind the scenes.
The Tao family is in the land of Wangjiawa, but there are ancestors who are not allowed to sell, she used such means in order to paralyze herself, and even did not hesitate to break her face with the Tao family's clan, I heard that a few days ago in the Tao family ancestral hall, she was the Tao family's distant relatives and elders were counted, these elders were afraid of her, Tao Lao Er was indifferent to distant relatives, several old people said that she was more funded, and saw her angry, but no one dared to speak. Originally, Tao Lao Er's disaster was broken, but she had to be carried by a woman's family, how difficult was it? But there are also a few elders in the clan who understand things. What's more, the Tao family is up and down, all of them look forward to Jiner's grandmother, these distant relatives, people think you are a relative, or they don't recognize you, then it's not a fart.
Ye Zhao even suspected that these distant relatives of the Tao family were originally the second grandmother of Jin Er who wanted to move out to sing a big opera, just to think that she was really obedient and obedient, selling the ancestral fertile land of the Tao family, and even a strong man broke his wrist to win his trust, which shows her ruthlessness. It's really a first-class character.
Rao is like this, but Ye Zhao can't talk about appreciating her, from the very beginning when someone complained about the notoriety of this Jin'er grandmother tigress, the image of an arrogant and unreasonable woman jumped into his mind, and then he heard that Tao Lao Er was bullied insincerely, Ye Zhao was funny, but he felt that a woman was stupid to her husband if she was like this?
Although after meeting, I had to admit the beauty of Jiner's grandmother, and gradually understood her power, it can be said that her name is not false, but Ye Zhao looks at her horizontally and vertically, and the image of "the evil woman who bullies her husband" is deep-rooted, and she may really be a natural opponent.
Ye Zhao tasted the tea and listened to the three old men over there, Chen, Du, and Zhang, talk about how barren Wangjiawa's fields were, and they were called fertile fields in vain. A good field, in their mouths, it seems that the harvest is bad every year, and seeing that the three of them have discussed it, they are ready to kill the Tao family's land price together.
Although Grandma Jin Er brought Ye Zhao to prepare to be a gunman, the more she heard these three old things talk, the more unspeakable her face sank, thinking that the Tao family would fall? When will my Jinfeng let you bully?
was about to speak, but saw Ye Zhao fold the fan and point at Chen, Du, and Zhang San one by one, extremely arrogant, "You, you, you, do you know who I am?" ”
Chen, Du, and Zhang San were stunned, and looked at Ye Zhao.
Ye Zhao grinned and said: "I am the creditor of the Tao family, is the price you want to kill the Tao family now is not the price to kill me?" Isn't bullying Mrs. Tao bullying me? Don't provoke me to get angry and take away your property! ”
Chen, Du, and Zhang's faces immediately changed, and they had long heard that the Tao family had suffered this big change because Tao Lao Er had offended people, and the Tao family couldn't afford to provoke the master who had been robbed of the family business, how could they dare to provoke?
"I'll just be fair, twenty taels per mu, okay?" Ye Zhao shook the folding fan with a leisurely expression.
The silver price of Wangjiawa's fertile land was between seventeen, eighteen and twenty taels, and the three masters didn't dare to say more, so they all nodded and agreed.
Ye Zhao said: "Then write the deed, and write the deed of sale." "Absolute sale" is a one-time sale, and the original owner no longer reserves the right to redeem the land.
The three old men had a bitter face, so they had to comply, and discussed the location of the land in the deed, what "heaven, earth, people, people, characters and places", what "how many acres, how many centimeters", Ye Zhao didn't understand much, just shook the folding fan and closed his eyes to recuperate.
But I don't know that at this moment, Grandma Jin Er is a little weird in her heart, although the evil young man just grabbed the silver for himself, but the first time he met a man to help him speak, even if this person is the evil young man who should kill a thousand knives, but there is also a taste that he has never experienced welling up in his heart.
But in the blink of an eye, Grandma Jin Er secretly gritted her silver teeth, "Bullying Mrs. Tao is bullying you?" "Don't you know that you're the one who bullied me the most? Someday you'll get a taste of my methods.
