Chapter 178: Rumors
"In return, I will ask Your Majesty for a decree, next year your Liu family's taxes will be reduced by 30%, and if there are outstanding children in the family, I will recommend them to Your Majesty."
"The reason why the Meng family can be left and right is only because of the outstanding sons of the people, and the assassination history sells him face."
Patriarch Liu's eyes flickered slightly, "This matter is very important, please let me think about it." ”
"After all, the Liu family is not mine alone, and I can't be arbitrary in this matter."
"Yes," Yuan Bao'er got up with a smile, "Then I'll wait for the good news of the adults." ”
She went out with a smile, and caught a glimpse of a few people sneaking in, smiling more and more complacently.
Back at the inn, she went out for a stroll again, but this time there were noticeably more people around her.
Yuan Bao'er didn't panic, she walked around, and when the time came, she went back to the guest house with all kinds of food.
Yuan Bao'er's affairs here have never been a secret, and those families ignored them earlier, just to sit back and watch the changes.
Now that I saw Yuan Bao'er go to Liu's house, she was still so swaying, and she started beating a drum in her heart.
"Isn't it that she and the Liu family already have some plans, waiting for us to drill in?"
At this time, several patriarchs thought so in their hearts.
lasted for another two days, and there was no movement in the Liu family and the guest house, but something happened to the government office.
The history of stabbing was suddenly urgent, and Lang Zhong was postponed overnight.
At this sensitive moment, even the wind and grass make people's eyelids jump, let alone such a big movement.
For a while, several families were touched overnight, bringing rich tonic gifts, and went to visit Thorn Shi as soon as it was dawn.
Thorn Shi can already get up at this time, but his speech is a little empty.
When I saw everyone, I just said: I drank at night and accidentally frightened the wind, but after Lang Zhong's treatment, there is no big problem.
Having said that, in the end, I still didn't have enough energy, and I sent the guests off after a while.
Several patriarchs stood outside the door and looked at each other, and their eyes fell on Patriarch Liu.
Patriarch Liu immediately smiled and said: "It seems that no one can withstand this year, everyone has to take care of their lives." ”
Patriarch Wang had a temper and sneered at the moment, "Brother Liu is strong and healthy, and he has a long life, but it also depends on how he lives." ”
"If this is a calculation to see the sky, even if he lives longer than the mountains in the east, he may be killed the next day."
"Hey, Wang Laosan, how do you speak," at their age, dead and alive are the most taboo.
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Liu became anxious.
Patriarch Wang snorted, "I'll just talk like this, and if you don't accept it, you can hold it back." ”
He flicked his sleeves and got into the car.
"Hey, you," Patriarch Liu didn't finish speaking, but the object was gone, he was very aggrieved, and he was about to talk to others, but he didn't want others to get into the car, but no one was willing to take care of him.
Patriarch Liu snorted and went back home.
Sitting in the main hall and thinking about it for a while, I deeply felt that it was because my own voice was weak.
If their family goes one step further and overpowers the Zhang family, they won't dare to stab like this in the other few times.
The more Patriarch Liu thought about it, the more angry he became, the more angry he became, and finally made a decision.
In the evening, he quietly came to the guest house.
Yuan Bao'er was drinking tea, and when she saw him coming, she smiled and said: "Come and taste it, this is the medicinal tea I just found, saying that it is made with Codonopsis Astragalus, fried with more than a dozen medicinal herbs, which can radiate and prolong life." ”
Patriarch Liu picked it up and sniffed it, "Where did you get this, my lord?" ”
Yuan Bao'er reported the name of the store, and Patriarch Liu smiled, "My lord, I have bought blessing tea." ”
"How?"
Patriarch Liu smiled, "This tea is indeed fried with Codonopsis Astragalus, but it is for the sake of concoction of medicinal materials, not for roasting tea." ”
"I'm afraid you won't be able to rinse your mouth with this tea, let alone drink it."
Yuan Bao'er put it down with a disgusted face, "I still spent five taels of silver." ”
Patriarch Liu said: "If you like it, I'll order something good another day, you still don't want to touch this." ”
Yuan Baoer shook her head.
This is a tea foam that helps absorb the water vapor of medicinal herbs, and she is not stupid, how can she touch it again.
Yuan Bao'er asked Bu Yiwei to remove the teacup, "The patriarch came today, but he figured it out?" ”
Patriarch Liu smiled, "My lord has offered me such favorable conditions, and Liu is also a layman, how can I not be tempted?" ”
"But I have a word first, buy and sell, depending on what he is willing to sell, we are willing to buy."
"If they don't want to, adults can't use strong, and if the price is not right, adults can't use strong."
"Is that possible?"
Yuan Bao'er smiled, "Patriarch Liu is open and honest, and I am also honest with each other." ”
"If they are interested, I will naturally treat them with courtesy, but if they are insatiable, then don't blame me for being unkind."
"His Majesty the Emperor Taizu treats this place well, but he remembers the old feelings of his ancestors."
"Now that the south is starving, if I think about the old feelings again, it will be to disregard Your Majesty's trust and be ashamed to respect the people."
"If it does get to that point, I don't mind if the fish dies."
"Oh, I'm the only one who dies, but you, your family, and your in-laws will definitely bury me for the past."
Her last sentence was very soft.
Patriarch Liu felt a chill and his hair stood on end.
He paused for a moment before leaving.
When he got home, the cronies he had sent earlier happened to be back.
When he saw the news that he inquired about, Patriarch Liu really believed that what Yuan Bao'er said was right.
has a husband like the jade-faced Hades, and is good friends with the current Lord Buyiwei, and has a very close relationship with several adults in the Ministry of Household Industry, and is also very trusted by His Royal Highness.
If such a person is offended, the Liu family can basically explain it in the next few decades.
Holding the letter in his hand, he paced back and forth in the room, until he finally slumped into his chair.
Why, why did you choose the Liu family.
If not, he could still side with the others and issue a conquest to the one who compromised with the government.
But now, it's him who is being requisitioned, and it doesn't feel very good.
Patriarch Liu sighed heavily, very unwilling to accept such a fate.
But on the other hand, his heart is not so annoying.
After all, if they can help Yuan Bao'er, the Liu family will be able to at least produce a granary of grain next year, even if it is sold, it will be thousands of taels of silver, plus her promise.
In time, it is not a dream for the Liu family to become the head of the five.
Outside the door, Liu Dalang walked in.
"Father is worried about the affairs of several patriarchs?"
"What do you know?"
Regarding the recruitment of Yuan Bo, Patriarch Liu never mentioned it to anyone.
Liu Dalang said: "Don't hide it, I know everything." ”
"Lord Yuan from Kyoto has recruited you and wants you to work for her."
"Where did you hear that," Patriarch Liu wondered.
He didn't say that since Yuan Bao'er chose him, it was even more impossible for him to make a declaration, where did this preaching come from.
"The five families have spread it all over, and the clan elders and clan uncles have also heard about it," Liu Dalang said: "Father, is this true?" ”
Patriarch Liu covered his head and waved his hand: "You go and invite the elders of the clan over." ”
"Is that true?"
