Jing'er looked at the county lord with her mouth open, eating well one by one, looking at the book, and spit out the grape skins into the small dish next to her from time to time.

Forget it, the county lord is used to it, Jing'er looked left and right, and hurriedly ate the peeled grapes. This is a gift of grapes, just a bunch, well, so sweet!

Xiao and Lin, the two housekeepers, came over with Xiao Zhan to pay tribute.

This time, the melons are still one or two, and they are still sent to the palace in two cars, and the rest is sold. Even the rotten ones, a hundred dollars a piece, are still in short supply, and they have made a lot of money for this. And all the money he earned went to buy grain, grass, charcoal, quilts, and oil.

Xiao Zhan read the harvest this time: "Seventy stones of millet, one hundred stones of grain, fifty stones of soybeans, ten carts of feed for cattle and horses, and one hundred and twenty barrels of oil, all of which have been put into storage. ”

After Xiao Zhan finished reading, Steward Lin was a little resentful, and asked puzzledly: "What is the county master doing with so much fire oil?" ”

The charcoal, cotton clothes and even quilts in the capital have been bought out by the county lord every other year, and more than a dozen tiled houses have been stuffed.

Xining continued to eat the grapes, and spit out the skin into the plate: "When it is used, the oil is very useful, you can light the lamp when it is dark, the charcoal is, pour it a little up, and the charcoal will be on immediately." ”

When making charcoal, in order to make the charcoal burn faster, you can indeed pour some on it, but only a dozen drops are enough, and hundreds of barrels of fire oil can be used there.

Last year was a warm winter, and the year before was not very cold, as if it was getting hotter and hotter every year, but the county lord had a large number of grain reserves for the winter, did his brain get into water? Well, anyway, Qian is the county lord, she can toss as much as she likes, and even after the king heard about it, he laughed.

By the way, I still have to talk about this matter......

Steward Lin saluted: "County lord, there is one thing I don't know whether to talk about or not." ”

The most annoying thing is this, Xining said leisurely: "If you think you should talk about it, don't talk about it if you don't talk about it." Since I said it, I just want to talk about it, let's talk about it! ”

Steward Lin choked, and then said hard: "There is a minister who impeached the county lord, and he has no scruples about the prestige of the heavenly family, and the businessman is very angry. ”

In all dynasties, agriculture and commerce were emphasized. The same is true of this dynasty, as if buying and selling goods is despised. Profiteers and profiteers, no traitors and no businessmen, those who do business are traitors.

Xining tilted her head and thought about it: "What does the king mean after hearing this?" ”

When King Han saw this impeachment statement, he ate two slices of melon when he was resting, and there was still sweetness in his mouth. Then I pulled out the letter from the county lord I had just received, which read: The frontier is poor, and the tax revenue is not enough to make ends meet. In order not to trouble the king, he had to bring something to sell when he sent a letter with the tribute, and then buy something to go back to his own use. I can't use it for myself, so I sell it locally for some subsidies.

So King Han threw the impeachment sheet aside.

Don't say that this impeached Wenchen is really persevering. Seeing that the king did not reply, he asked directly when he went to court.

King Han was a little annoyed, threw away the county lord's letter, and asked rhetorically: "Aiqing thinks it is better to let the county lord of Changping solve it himself, or will the treasury allocate silver to her?" Or give her a piece of land, a place where the land is fertile and the people are rich? ”

When Wen Chen heard this, he felt a lot of extraneous sounds, and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and the words also became, the county lord of Changping can not trouble the king, and find a way to get money by himself, which should be a model for the vassal kings. He spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and misunderstood the loyal and patriotic heart of the county lord of Changping, and he was wrong. Please punish you!

Let's put aside the relationship first, otherwise the king of Han thinks that he will make a plan to let the county lord of Changping change places, and then the gap will be bigger. The prince was gone, and he originally wanted to participate in a book, stink the reputation of the county lord of Changping, and make the king happy, but the fart was slapped on the horse's leg.

The kings are merciful, and they rule the country with benevolence and filial piety. Of course, the punishment will not be over, and the matter will be over.

After hearing this, Xining smiled: "Your Excellency really knows that I understand me, and I will not be swayed by the villain's slander." There are no specialties here, and the melons are almost out of the market. Otherwise, the next time I will take fifty sheep, and five of them will be dedicated to the king. The rest is sold on the spot, and it can be half a percent higher according to the local market price. ”

She inquired about this from Steward Xiao, and Steward Xiao listened carefully from the sheep dealers here. The beef and mutton here are particularly cheap, and the mutton is sent to the capital to be sold, and you can make a lot of money in the middle.

When Steward Lin heard this, he almost fainted. Well, it used to be a melon, but this time it was a sheep. The melon is dead, and it won't move if it's left there. But this sheep is alive, and it still smells on its body. Fifty sheep went all the way, and the smell of sheep on this body was the same as that of a sheep dealer.

He's a butler, and now authentic is reduced to an errand runner, plus a team leader who escorts goods. I can't do this job, can I stop doing it? He is retiring, he is going back to his hometown to live in his old age!

After the three of them left, Jing'er shook the fan for her: "County master, the slave and maid can't figure it out, why do you want to stock up so many goods?" ”

Leng Buding saw the county lord looking at her coldly, and this kind of look could often be seen after arriving in Linyi County. Every time I see it, I feel terrible, as if the county lord has changed into a different person.

Jing'er shuddered, and immediately bowed: "The slave and maid have said a lot, the slave and maid know that they are wrong, please punish the county lord." ”

Xining smiled "poof", and turned to look at the bamboo slip in his hand: "Jing'er, why are you like the pedantic minister in the court now, and you can say anything about punishment at every turn." Get up! ”

Jing'er got up in fear and saw the county lord leaning on the soft collapse and reading the book.

Xining asked leisurely: "You really want to know, why do I stock up so many goods?" ”

Jing'er shook her head first, but she felt that this was too hypocritical, so she nodded instead, but when the county lord saw it, he shook his head in fright.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you." Xiningpi didn't smile: "Because it's fun!" ”

Seeing Jing'er stunned there, she continued to read again. Cut, even if you tell you, you won't believe it. Now people who you are don't know, and what nonsense you are!

When Steward Lin carried the letter written by the county lord to the King of Han in his sleeve, he went to the palace in an ox cart. And the entourage next to the car, with a whip in his hand, drove five sheep to follow him, attracting a lot of attention.

The king of Han asked someone to read the letter, saying that the melons had fallen into the market, and there was nothing good there, but it was close to the Xiongnu, and the mutton was excellent. Since the current truce of the Xiongnu cannot be killed, it is better to kill a few of their sheep. Wouldn't it be nice to skin them and eat their flesh?

Hearing this, the palace maid serving next to her couldn't hold back for a while, laughed, and suddenly saw the King of Han looking at her, and the big maid who was standing beside the king and serving glared at the beads, and was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her mouth with her sleeves, and after feeling that something was wrong, she lowered her sleeves and lowered her head, eager to hang her head into the placket.

As the Son of Heaven, King Han has heard everything in the court, and he can be regarded as well-informed, but he still has a tense face.

When the letter was finished, he asked someone to take it and read it, especially "Then it would be better to kill a few of their sheep", and read it more than three times. When he stood up, he shouted, "Go and get Lone's arrows, Lone will shoot the sheep!" ”

"Hey~" The big chamberlain was suddenly happy and shouted loudly: "The king wants to shoot the sheep, hurry up and bring the sheep!" ”
