Chapter 288: When a man is rich, he becomes bad

The grain cart soon reached the mountain road, and the dart masters of the grain dart team worked together to push the cart uphill.

The uphill was struggling, and they shouted slogans in unison, and in a few moments they pushed the grain cart to the ferry.

The sack was heavily tied with a rope, and the vehicle was balanced with a thick rope at both ends, and then hung on a sling with a large iron hook.

Receiving a shout from the other side, the three laborers standing here held the crank and shook it vigorously.

The whole grain cart was lifted and gradually moved off the ground as the sling slowly moved forward.

Xia Qiu raised his head and stared at the grain cart in the air.

At that moment, the entire Phoenix Mountain was quiet, and everyone's eyes followed the grain cart until it landed firmly on the ground.

The crowd burst into cheers, and Xia Qiu happily hugged Lu Tingxiu, and finally succeeded.

Li Jingxuan, who was standing at the ferry, was also suddenly forcibly hugged by Jin Xuan'er. She jumped up happily and smiled like a flower, "Brother Li, you did it, you really did it!" ”

Li Jingxuan was extremely embarrassed, he subconsciously looked at Xia Qiu on the shore, but saw her happily being with Master Lu.

There was a feeling of loss in her heart, this was the sling he designed for her with his own hands, but her smile did not bloom to herself. There is someone in her heart, and she is afraid that she will never have a chance in this life.

He has been to Lin County several times, and it is no secret that Xia Qiu met and knew Lord Lu. If she had met him first, would it have been different from today?

Xia Qiu didn't know it, the hand under the sleeve tightly held Lu Tingxiu, and the two looked up at the slings in the air, watching the grain carts pass overhead one by one.

This is not only the parents and officials to solve the high-priced grain for the people, but also contains a piece of his friendship for himself.

In order to avoid falling into the hands of the people, Xia Qiu announced to the workers in public that she was grateful to the government for benefiting the people and solving the big problem of burning the eyebrows in the grain shop, and she decided to donate this batch of grain and vegetables to the government to reward everyone who built the sling rope and post road.

For a while, the laborers were very weak, and now when they heard that there was not only white rice but also meat, they couldn't help but applaud Lu Tingxiu and Xia Qiu, "Thank you, Lord Lu, thank you Miss Xia, the people of Lin County will be grateful to you." ”

"Everyone can work with peace of mind, and there will be enough food in the future." Before the food was tight, the grain merchants who participated in the bidding had withdrawn, and this piece of fat was bitten off by Xia Qiu.

Lord Lu is too much of a chicken thief, pretending to be poor and pretending to be more like anyone else, if it weren't for the words of him on the bed, she wouldn't know that the new emperor had secretly given him a sum of silver in addition to being generous.

There is no other reason, the last time Father-in-law Gao came, the reception banquet set up by Lu Ting was poor and sour, and even when the two of them talked about themselves, he had a poor sour taste. Father-in-law Gao watched him grow up, and felt sorry for his dignified son who suffered in this poor country, but he couldn't bear it, and left him all the silver on his body when he left.

After going back, he added oil and vinegar and told Xindi that he almost didn't wipe his tears when he was emotional. The new emperor was ruthless, tightened his belt and secretly added a sum of money to him.

Is a penny a hero, he has a weak relationship with his father, and he has not exchanged letters since he left home, so naturally he will not ask them for money. As a county magistrate, there is no shortage of opportunities to make partial money, but he can't fish the people, so he stretches his claws to the Ninety-Five Supreme.

I worked for him myself, what's wrong with asking for money?

In fact, it was the first time for Lu Tingxiu to do this lack of morality, and he learned it from Xia Fatpang.

As a result, the child who can scream has milk to drink, and the money really comes.

He doesn't have a huge amount of money around him, his small waist is straight, and he is even very confident with the eyes that look at Xia Qiu.

Xia Qiu thought hehe, a man becomes bad when he is rich, and he had better give her his private money, even if she is not bad now.

She reached into his sleeve and ran her hand gently against his arm. Lord Lu, obediently hand over the money.

Lu Tingxiu pretended to be dead. No, a man has dignity only when he is rich, he is already poor.

Xia Qiu was very unconvinced, and waited for a private time to go back and close the door before cleaning him up.

Ten grain trucks crossed the canyon safely, and Wu Ze and Lei Da crossed the river on a pedestrian sling.

The laborers quickly moved the grain and meat in, and the men quickly started the pot to cook on the fire. can eat a full meal, everyone has a smile on their faces, and their hands and feet are extremely diligent.

The brother and sister reminisced, Wu Ze pulled Xia Qiu aside, "How are Ah Niang and Ah Yu?" ”

"Ah Niang re-studied medicine, and Ah Yu is also more cheerful than before."

After chatting with the parents, Xia Qiu asked about the grain market in Hexian County. He County is a large grain-producing county in Liangzhou, and the water and soil are much richer than those of Lin County, and a lot of grain is first sold to Lin County after passing through Liangzhou.

Now that the new grain road has been opened, more than 300 miles of rugged mountain roads have been saved, and the cost has dropped like falling off a cliff. Wu Ze ran all over the grain market, and selected several well-known local grain merchants. If the volume of grain transactions is large, there are appropriate price concessions.

The new grain has been tested in summer and autumn, and the quality is not bad, and it is even better than the recent batches from Liangzhou.

She is determined to increase the amount of purchases, but the food dart team must not be sloppy, not only to increase the manpower escort, but also not to relax.

Since suffering the last loss, Lei Da didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest, especially Boss Jin, who acted moodily, he would cheer up.

Boss Jin is a person who keeps promises, and Jin Xuan'er is still there, Xia Qiu is not worried that he will go back on his word, but she is worried that someone will interfere with it.

You must know that Hua Feng has many methods, and it is not the first time that he has bought and used bandits.

Master Lei guessed Xia Qiu's scruples, "You don't have to worry about Xia Dongjia, the surname Jin actually has a similar temperament to me, and he is not a vicious person, I will take the time to go to Xiong Blind Ditch later." ”

"Then there's Big Brother Laurel, but ......" Xia Qiu said halfway through his speech, and the point was over.

Lei Da smiled innocently, "Don't worry, Xia Dongjia, I won't say it directly, I will use the strength of the wine to remind me that I won't show my feet." ”

"Then there's Big Brother Laurel." Xia Qiu set her eyes on Jin Xuan'er, "She is the pearl of Boss Jin's palm, and she sits in the fourth position of Xiong Blind Ditch with her strength." ”

"That's a good idea." When bandits see bandits, they always feel like they are strangers.

The big pot of food was quickly ready, and the laborers ate fragrant and soft rice, as well as bacon and bacon, and they were reluctant to take a big bite of the rice, and they all chewed it slowly, wanting to let the fragrance stay between their lips and teeth for a longer time.

Xia Qiu and the others ate in the bamboo shed, but Jin Xuan'er unexpectedly didn't come, but sat on the river beach with a big grin, and they hit it off at first sight with Lei Da's master, eating meat and drinking wine and almost didn't call him a brother.

Without her, Li Jingxuan suddenly felt much more relaxed. Still, he glanced out from time to time, lest she do something too out of the ordinary. He promised Boss Jin to take good care of her.

After eating, Lu Tingxiu and Li Jingxuan went to the construction site to inspect.

Xia Qiu sent Lei Dadang's family to the other side at the ferry, and they were going to return to Hexian to prepare to escort the second batch of grain.

The procurement has been completed, and Wu Ze followed back to Lin County.

Lu Tingxiu and Xia Qiu rode in the same carriage, and they were busy in Phoenix Mountain for most of the day, and their legs and necks were sore.

The long legs stretched out and put them on Xia Qiu's legs, "Xia Chubby, help me relax." ”

Xia Qiu didn't dislike it, and pinched his legs with a smile, "My lord, this canyon is the most important thing now, what do you do?" ”
