Yang Ling tried to cheat, but in the end he failed.

Qu Xiaobai threw him far away, returned to the small river in front of the house, saw that the four fields were empty, and determined that the wild children in those villages could not come here in a short time, so he relaxed his clothes and went down to the river to wash himself.

Yang Ling didn't catch up. After all, in addition to making yourself uncomfortable, you can't do anything else when you catch up.

Qu Xiaobai finished taking a bath, returned to the house, lit the lamp, moved the lamp to the kang, and began to sew the clothes that were not sewn, and Yang Ling didn't know if he was having fun and didn't come back for a long time.

Qu Xiaobai was sewing clothes while talking to Du Niang: "Du Niang, during the day, you said that you would compensate me for a business opportunity, what is the business opportunity, you say come and listen." ”

"The border army is stationed at the foot of Dongshan, 50,000 troops, and the daily consumption of vegetables and vegetables is very large, and the people here are mostly fishermen, and the supply of fish has exceeded the demand, so you can grow more vegetables."

"But I don't have land, and the wasteland in front of and behind my door is full of stones and sand, and I can't grow anything. Alas, you can help me check if there is a good place in the village to sell out, I will buy some land, and grow vegetables as you say. ”

"The good land in the village is in the hands of Yang Xingmao and Yang Dapeng, and some ordinary people are tenants of their two families, some are long-term and short-term workers of their families, and some have a few acres of land by themselves, and they will definitely not sell it."

"......", it's better not to say it.

"What about the nearby villages?"

"Let me check it out for you." Two seconds later, "There is a landlord in Sanlihe Village, five miles west of here, surnamed Zhang, who wants to move out of this perennial war-torn place, and he is about to sell the land, you can go and see." ”

"Got it."

"But I want to remind you of one thing, Sanlihe Village is Zhu Guihua's maiden family, and the Zhu family can be regarded as a tyrant in the village."

“…… The two people you stoned to death were also from Sanlihe Village, because of this, the Zhu family and I formed an enmity with each other. XX you are XX, a good means for you to end. Qu Xiaobai's expression was quiet, and his tone was also quiet.

The almighty Du Niang fell into silence for a while, and Qu Xiaobai thought disdainfully, Bacheng had escaped.

She didn't have any questions to ask for for the time being, so she ignored it.

Qu Xiaobai finished sewing Yang Ling's clothes, she was so tired that her hands and neck hurt, rubbed her neck, she went down the kang to take out the safe, opened it, picked out a copy of "The Complete Map of the Distribution of the Trade Routes of the Great Liang Dynasty" and took it out, locked the safe again, returned to the kang, leaned on the kang quilt and began to read.

I don't know if I don't see it, and my heart is half cold when I see it.

The 36 counties of the Great Liang Dynasty and 200 counties and 8 counties, among which the richest ten counties in the south of the Yangtze River were held in the hands of Lu Chong, the king of Jingnan, who was the younger brother of the current emperor Lu Jian.

With the Yanjiang River as the boundary, the north and south are not traded, the only passage to and from is the Yanjiang Bridge, the south side of the bridgehead is guarded by the soldiers of the king of Jingnan, and the north head is guarded by the emperor's soldiers, and the inventory is quite strict.

In the west of the Great Liang Dynasty, there was Qiang Rong eyeing the border, and the Tiger Wing General Ye Zhixian guarded the northwest border, and the four counties around the border were sparsely populated and the land was barren, and basically, people fled to the interior.

The northeast, that is, the Nanping County where she is located, and the surrounding five counties, are guarded by the Zhenyuan general Mu Cien, and Di Yi on the border has to come to commit crimes several times a year, burning, killing and looting.

However, because of the fertile land and good water conservancy conditions in this place, the people here are not all exiled to the interior like in the west, and they have no intention of fleeing unless they have to.

Because of the great consumption of the army in successive years, the empty treasury, and the poor livelihood of the people, whether it is the interior or the frontier, the people are poor and do business, which is very difficult.

Several trade routes from Nanping to the interior were not accessible because of the rampant banditry.

As for somewhere else, not to mention.

Qu Xiaobai finished flipping through it, took a deep breath, silently sent the book back to the safe, and replaced it with a copy of "The History of the Great Liang Dynasty and the Wild", let's take a look at the wild history and relax. The days are hard, so don't let the mood be bitter anymore.

Yang Ling came back very late, and when he came back, Qu Xiaobai smelled a smell of blood, and the first thought in his heart was whether something had happened to the fool, and he jumped off the kang before he could put on his shoes, "Brother Ling, what's wrong with you?" ”

She stumbled outside, only to see Yang Ling carrying four or five pheasants and a boar cub in her hands.

The pheasants are still alive, tied their feet with strips of cloth, and strung into a string, but the boar is dead, it was bloodied, and the neck is bloody, Yang Ling showed off the pheasant and the boar to her, she saw the real thing for the first time, she was extremely excited, and she smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth: "Wow! Pheasant! Boar! ”

But soon her smile retracted and was replaced by a black face, "You went hunting?" There are fierce beasts on that mountain, and they are very dangerous, do you know it? ”

Yang Ling looked at her little face swollen crimson, she was really angry, and then she was barefoot, although it was early summer, the ground was not cold, but the mud floor was dirty and messy, and there were broken firewood by the stove, he hurriedly threw the pheasant and the boar into the firewood room, picked her up and went into the room.

Qu Xiaobai was dizzy by him for a while, and slapped his back: "What are you doing?" You idiot, let me down, I'm telling you something very serious, do you know? ”

Yang Ling put her on the edge of the kang, turned around to get a cotton cloth, threw a handful in the water, wiped her feet clean, and then said seriously and aggrievedly: "Don't dare." ”

Qu Xiaobai couldn't cry or laugh, took one of his hands, patted the back of his hand, and said like a loving mother: "Brother Ling, don't go on an adventure alone next time, you know?" ”

Yang Ling nodded heavily: "Hmm." ”

"Go wash your hands, go to the kang, and I'll tell you a story."

She really treated him like a child. But it doesn't hurt to listen to the story, Yang Ling went to wash his hands, and washed his body with cold water again, before returning to the kang and getting into the quilt.

Qu Xiaobai leaned towards him, and the whole person shrank into the quilt, "Brother Ling, let me tell you a story about the court." ”

"Hmm." Yang Ling looked at Qu Xiaobai's delicate face, and suddenly felt very hot, and lifted the quilt, revealing his long legs and abdominal muscles.

"Ahem, you...... Are you hot? ”

"Hot."

"Okay. Then you just need to be careful not to catch a cold. ”

Although she is a lonely man and a widow living in the same room, she is not a woman poisoned by feudal ideology in this era, and besides, she is still his daughter-in-law. Even if he slept at this time, he would be fine.

Admittedly, she won't be so shameless that she doesn't even pick on a fool.

But, it's good to appreciate him as a male model.

Thinking of this, Qu Xiaobai's gaze was a little presumptuous—it could almost be regarded as a flash of essence, "Well, I heard an interesting thing. It turns out that the late queen of the current emperor did not die of illness. ”

When Yang Ling heard this, his body suddenly stiffened.

But he was lying on the kang stupidly, Qu Xiaobai couldn't see his subtle changes, and continued: "Twenty years ago, a scholar named Rong Liang sent his sister to the palace. ”

This is a well-known thing in the Da Liang Dynasty, and it was once rumored to be a beautiful talk, and she knows nothing. It's just that the sentence "the queen is not sick and died" that she said just now shocked Yang Ling.

"Let me tell you, this too beautiful woman is a curse, so you must avoid it when you see a beautiful woman in the future. Ahem, of course, except for me, I'm pretty, but I'm not a scourge. ”

Qu Xiaobai's digression almost made Yang Ling laugh. Girl, you, at best, it's delicate, isn't it difficult to look good. However, in the eyes of the lover, she is the best-looking woman in the world.

"Hmm."

"Continue to tell you, this Concubine Rong is actually a jealous woman, she was holding back in her heart to pull the queen off the horse, so she began to design the queen. She came up with an extremely vicious plan to let her brother get a man from outside the palace into the palace, pretend to be a eunuch, and put him next to the queen.

How did the queen know that he was a fake eunuch, and besides, she didn't know that the fake eunuch was brought to her by Concubine Rong, otherwise, she would be able to guard against it.

This fake eunuch is quite smart, and soon, he won the trust of the queen and became a eunuch who served closely.

In the new year, the queen was pregnant, and Concubine Rong's jealousy of the queen was even worse, so she let the fake eunuch drug the queen's diet, the medicine was very obscene, just like the kind of medicine that Chen Jiu wanted to give me, but it was much more powerful than Chen Jiu's medicine!

After the queen took the medicine, she was so confused that she herself felt that something was wrong, but it was too late, and the false eunuch ripped her of her clothes and pushed her down in the bed tent......"

"Don't listen, don't listen, don't listen!"

Yang Ling suddenly interrupted her and came up to cover her mouth.

Qu Xiaobai has been immersed in the story, and he didn't see it at all, just now, Yang Ling's eyes were black, and he wanted to stop her several times, and if he wanted to tell her this kind of thing, he would never say it!

But he wanted to ask where she learned about the secrets of this kind of secret, a country girl!

He suddenly remembered that there were several strange books in the box he got today, one of which was called "History of the Great Liang Dynasty and the Wild". I think I saw it from there.

The origin of the box made Yang Ling not confused, he had been wondering who threw the box in the river, so that he didn't have time to stop Qu Xiaobai and let her tell her so much.

Qu Xiaobai thought that Yang Ling was afraid, so he hurriedly held his hand and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I won't talk about it." I also know that this kind of thing can't be said outside, I'm just talking to you. Brother Ling, don't talk to others, if others find out and sue the government, you will be killed. ”

She made a gesture of cutting off her head, wanting to warn Yang Ling with this.
