Zhang Laosan scraped together 1,500 taels of silver, and Liu Jun smiled very unceremoniously. He has nothing to be embarrassed to accept, and there is nothing he is afraid to accept. After all, Zhang Butcher is just a bully in the countryside, and at the beginning, he was tall and powerful in killing pigs, and there were a few pig killers.

Later, he relied on his daughter to marry the county man to fill the house, and suddenly got on the official face, and there were people in the court who were good at doing things. In Sai Wan, there is a county son-in-law, which is enough for him to be proud. took advantage of this monopoly on the slaughtering business, and soon made a lot of money, donated to his son, asked the teacher to teach his son, and finally luckily produced a son.

In Xiwan, there are officials in the county government, money in the family, people in the shops, and a prison guard and a son. Compared with the original honest family like the Liu family, it is not a star and a half.

But today's Liu family is no longer the Liu family of the past, even if Liu Jun is just friends with Li Chunjiang, as long as Li Chunjiang's words, or even just a face, can make Zhang Tuhu tremble and faint.

Liu Jun is now a real fox and a fake tiger, and there is a Li Chunjiang behind him to support him, even if Liu Jun takes away 1,500 taels of silver from him at once, almost a robbery, but Zhang Butcher and Zhao Xiancheng have to beat their teeth and swallow blood and tears. How could a small county dare to confront the Li family in Bashang, one of the four major families in Macheng?

This Li family is not only a local tyrant in Macheng, but also the entire Huguang and even the entire Ming Dynasty, which has a certain influence.

Fifteen hundred taels of silver is by no means a small number, even with Butcher Zhang's monopoly on the slaughtering industry in Saiwan for many years, the silver money he brought in is a big hemorrhage this time. Even among the 1,500 taels of silver sent, it is likely that a lot of it was taken out by Zhao Xiancheng's family for emergency relief, and maybe some of it was borrowed.

But Liu Jun didn't care about this, he ate Butcher Zhang.

The world never believed in tears.

When Butcher Zhang bullied the Liu family, when he attacked the Liu family, he never thought that he would end up like this. If there is no accident to get acquainted with the big tree of Li Chunjiang, when the Liu family refuses to admit Liu Jun's family business, and the matter is known to the Zhang butcher, the Liu family is not just 90 acres of land sold to the Zhang family.

Butcher Zhang will become a vampire, stick to the Liu family, suck up the last bit of blood of the Liu family, and then let the Liu family fend for itself, and will never sympathize with the Liu family.

Fifteen hundred taels of silver, a lot of money, Liu Jun also needs this money.

is about to go out to mix, even if he follows Li Chunjiang, he has to have money in his hands. If there is no money, where will the brothers come from, where will the friendship come from, where will the relationship come from?

Liu Jun took out four hundred and fifty taels from the box of silver, which was the money knocked out in the name of Li Chunjiang.

"There's no need for that."

Li Chunjiang pushed it away without hesitation. He is not short of money, the son of the Li family on the dignified dam, the twenty-year-old Xie Yuan, will be short of the four hundred and fifty taels of silver? Before he spoke, he couldn't see the butcher's arrogance.

Liu Jun smiled slightly, and was no longer reluctant. He is not the kind of coquettish person, Li Chunjiang does not need to care, but this money is still very useful to him. There is no need to push around ugly for the little silver that Li Chunjiang doesn't care about.

But in the end, Liu Jun still took out five hundred taels of silver and handed it to Daddy Liu.

"Even if we sell this field to the Zhang family, anyway, it is usually handed over to the tenants for cultivation, but now it is transferred to the Zhang family, we still collect rent, but the rent is a little less, but this time it is not a loss." Liu Jun said.

Liu Xiu's father is still immersed in the big turning point of the previous drama, before he was beaten by the Zhang family, forced to sell the ancestral property, and in the blink of an eye, his son came back, but forced the Zhang family not only to empty the gloves of the white wolf, but also ruthlessly blooded, and took out 1,500 taels of silver.

If you count the previous 100 taels, the Zhang family got the right to rent 90 acres of land of the Liu family for 30 years, but paid the price of 1,600 taels of silver, how can this still be called a loss? It was the Zhang family who had no choice but to speak up.

However, my father still had some regrets, "It was the land that your grandfather handed down, and it was sold like this." ”

"It's just sold alive, and you can redeem it again when you turn around." Liu Jun comforted his father like this, but his heart was ringing, five years later, the world will be changed to wild boar skin, and it is difficult to say who those lands belong to at that time.

"The families who can use our land to farm, so there is no land to plant, and they are all old tenants for many years." Dad was worried about his original tenants.

"It's not a problem, the Zhang family took the land, and it is impossible for him to rent it himself. I went back and said hello to Butcher Zhang, and asked him to continue to rent the land to the original tenants. But they may have to pay more rent in the future. ”

"The five hundred taels are kept for the family, and if there is a chance, they can also buy some land. I want to keep the one thousand taels left. "Liu Jun told his father about his plan to join Li Chunjiang's patrol horse team by the way." Prince Chunjiang has done us such a great favor, and I have to repay him no matter what. He wants to go to the township regiment to experience it, and at the end of the year, he will go to Beijing to prepare for the examination in February next year. ”

"What about you, what are your plans in the future, you will also participate in this year's Wuju Township Test, right?" Daddy Liu looked at Liu Jun eagerly, after experiencing this bullying by the Zhang family, Daddy Liu looked forward more and more to the Liu family being an official, even if it was a person. The boss has no hope, and the third child is still young, and now it seems that maybe the second child has a chance to take the martial arts test.

Liu Jun hadn't thought about it yet, but when his father asked, he didn't want to disappoint him, so he had to nod and say, "There is such a plan, but it depends on the situation at that time." And even if you take the test, you may not be able to pass it. Before the township test, there is also a subject test. ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam once, just take the next exam again. This Chunjiang son is a good person, take care of him a little more in the future, we owe him a big favor. ”

"Got it."

The dinner that day was very lively, and after solving the evil neighbor who had been pressing on the head of the Liu family, the Liu family was full of laughter. Father Liu even asked Bao'er and his father Liu An to purchase a large number of fresh chicken, duck and fish meat, and dug up a jar of aged wine. As a result, after dark, Zhang Butcher took his son to personally send a large fan of freshly slaughtered and processed pork, and changed his previous arrogant attitude at the door of Liu's house, and now he is very careful and polite, saying a lot of flattering words, etc., Liu Jun accepted the meat sent by Zhang Tu, said a few words to calm his heart and sent him away.

When the wine and food were almost ready, Zhao Xiaopang came again, and this time he also brought Lu Zhixian from the county, as well as a group of people from the county government such as the chief bookkeeper and the warden, and each prepared a generous gift.

People say that it is difficult to be attached to Guo Zhi County, although Macheng is not attached to Guo, it is as difficult to know the county as it is. There are too many Jinshi people in Macheng, so there are too many Zhishi officials, many of whom are of extremely high grade, such as bachelors, scholars, squires, governors, governors, and political envoys, so this county is usually like a little daughter-in-law, and most of the time it is between the squires and the wang clan.

After hearing that the prince of Chunjiang had some conflicts with the county in Xiwan, he hurriedly rushed over, for fear that this old man Xie Yuan would finally be involved in his head.

The scale of this dinner finally expanded, and there were almost a dozen tables in the hall of the Liu family. Liu Jun simply took this opportunity to set up a few more tables, and invited a group of people in Xiwan Town, such as the squires who were a little bit of face, Xiucai, and Zhishi, as well as those rich businessmen, Bao Changjia, and Changliang Jia, to dinner, and even Zhang Butcher, Liu Jun asked Liu An to invite him over.

took so much money from him and invited him to a meal, which can be regarded as calming his heart, letting him know that he does not plan to touch him again for the time being, and also calming his heart, saving him in case he is in a hurry and jumps off the wall.

Although the county officials such as Zhixian came to Li Chunjiang, after all, they were in Liu's house, so Lu Zhixian and others also made a gesture and talked to Liu Jun. It turned out to be just a casual perfunctory, but after a conversation, he found that this little martial artist of the Liu family actually talked extraordinarily and had a lot of knowledge, whether it was astronomy and geography or internal and external affairs, he could actually talk about a paragraph.

"It's still early to take the exam next year, so I asked my uncle to go to Shenzhuang Baosheng Fort to join the township group and have some experience. I have decided to personally set up a patrol team to prevent theft and banditry and protect the territory and the people. Brother Jiye will be the vice president of my horse team. Li Chunjiang said to Lu Jinxizhi County and his party with some pride, "In the future, I will ask Lu's parents and you to support me a lot." ”

"Ouch, I didn't expect Xie Yuangong to be so good, Wen Neng won the first place in the province, and Wu can ride horses to suppress bandits, he is really a model for my generation of literati." The magistrate couldn't stop patting Li Chunjiang's ass, "And the son of Jiye is also very good, so young, he is already strong in martial arts." As soon as I heard what the prince of Chunjiang said, I realized that when the thieves suddenly came to commit crimes before, and everyone did not find out in time, it turned out to be the son of Jiye who used his own package of gifts to defraud the county as the severance pay for the thieves. This official didn't know who this intelligent strong man was, but unexpectedly, it was actually the deputy of the horse team of the prince of Chunjiang. ”

"The son of Chunjiang has a discerning eye, and at a glance he has selected a wise and brave warrior to be his team deputy, good vision, admiration, admiration."

Zhao Xiaopang County Cheng also took the opportunity to curry favor with Liu Jun at this time, and suggested to Lu Zhixian, "The performance of Jiye Gongzi is enough to be called wise and brave, although for him, the retreat thief is just a little trick, but for tens of thousands of people in Macheng, it is a grace to avoid poison." Such behavior must be rewarded and commended. Besides, in order to get rid of the thief, Jiye Gongzi also put in a precious gift worth hundreds of taels by himself, how can he make the hero work hard and break the bank? ”

"I think that when the successor son is rewarded, in addition, there must be a heavy reward."

Lu Zhixian nodded, "This is the way it should be, this is the right way, I will do this immediately after I go back." The official also wanted to report this heroic act to the Huangzhou Mansion to the Huguang Political Secretary to the imperial court, so that the imperial court could reward and reward him. "Anyway, the sedan chair carries people, and anyone can do it, Lu Zhixian is also an expert, and he made many promises without hesitation.

Liu Jun just smiled slightly and thanked them constantly, but he didn't take it to heart. Even if they will report this matter, it is difficult to say whether the above will ignore it, so there is no need to care too much.

What he is thinking now is that maybe joining Li Chunjiang's horse team is a good choice, the troubled times are coming, he was a soldier for seven years in his previous life, and he is a martial artist in this life, so if he doesn't go to the army, he wants to do business?

Don't say that troubled times are kings, at least have more self-protection ability!
