Chapter 310: Impossible
What are you trying to do? Want to rob the grain of the Hou Mansion? The female guard pointed her spear at the gamblers, "Where are you going to move the marquis's grain?" ”
The female generals lined up were surging and seemed to be about to kill.
If they are killed in Wuhou's land, there will be no one to avenge them. The gamblers didn't dare to move.
Zhuang Tou stepped forward with a smile, and said in a good voice: "Good girl, how dare we rob Hou Ye's things?" Give the sky a lot of courage, and I don't dare. We just want to know how much grain there is in this acre of land. ”
"Really?"
"Nature is true." The women's army put away their spears, "Look at you, it's not good, be honest, don't spoil the grain, otherwise I won't spare you." ”
said that the captain fought the women's army, guarded the scene, and separated the gamblers from the rice.
Lord Tie said to you, "You can believe it or not, but you can't believe the scale. Scales don't tell lies, and things don't tell lies. ”
Zhuang Tou said: "You can not believe me, but you can't disbelieve Lord Tie." Since everyone didn't believe it, we spread out and checked little by little. ”
The head of the village called the servant, "Go and find two baskets." ”
The servant ran out again, and soon found a basket.
The people in the factory, seeing the excitement outside, also ran out to see the excitement.
Lord Tie opened the sack and scooped out the rice from the sack one by one, and in the end there was no fraud in it.
"Let's weigh it again, how many catties are there." Saying that, Lord Tie asked the man to carry the basket, and he came to see the scales.
"It's still fifty-seven pounds."
Zhuang Tou looked at the gamblers, "It's still fifty-seven pounds, do you still have objections?" ”
Zhuang Tou is not a person here, if anyone has any objections, let him come out and theorize well.
No one dares to have any objections, those gamblers who press less than 300 catties have lost their bets again, and their hearts are cold.
The pig is unwilling, but he paid twenty taels of silver, so he lost the bet?
He said unwillingly: "Weigh the rest, I don't believe it, this acre of land can have 300 catties." ”
"Yes, weigh it."
"It's all weighed."
Lord Tie shook his head and sighed when he saw it, these people didn't shed tears when they didn't see the coffin.
The head of the bank is used to the mentality of gamblers and doesn't care.
"Weigh it." Zhuang Tou said.
Lord Tie took the man, weighed sacks by sacks, and finally came up with the total, "A total of three hundred and forty-five catties." ”
The person who pressed less than 300 pounds was depressed, lost the gamble again, and had to face the reality.
The old Zhao Tou, who weighed four hundred catties, smiled, he took the dry tobacco and said: "Zhuangtou, Wuhou has hundreds of acres of paddy fields, you didn't say which acre of paddy fields are paddy." ”
Those gamblers who pressed down to 300 catties suddenly came to their senses. Yes, when I placed a bet, I didn't say which acre of land.
I didn't say whether it was dry or wet. If it is more than 300 catties, it will be sunburned and watered, and it will not be allowed to return to 200 catties?
Hundreds of gamblers made a fuss, they made a fuss, they wanted to change the rules.
Zhuang Tou is an old man, he never makes a loss-making business, he calls on the flower arm, calls the servant, and blocks the gambler.
"If you want to make trouble, you won't know until you fight." Zhuang Tou smiled, "The one on your lips is another gambling board." ”
"I declare that if you bet 300 to 350 catties, you will win 15 pounds, and if you win, you will take the slip to the gambling house to withdraw the money."
Zhuang Tou also said: "New opening, new opening, let's bet on the total amount of millet in the paddy fields of the Wuhou family." The other bets on how many catties of millet there are after drying in the ground.
This time, it's going to be a number, and the one with the same number wins. This time, one to eight, all of them are one to eight. ”
"Bet, bet, go back and bet."
"How many acres of land are there in Tong Guan's house?"
"Three hundred and seventy-eight acres of paddy fields, six hundred and ninety-four acres of wheat fields." Uncle Tong said.
More than 300 acres, more than 300 catties per acre, up and down but 120,000 grains.
One hundred and twenty thousand grains!
Are there really so many?
The gamblers ran back to pool money to place bets, this time it was a loss of eight, although not as much as the first time, but if they win, they can also earn a lot back.
The news of the rice harvest of the Wuhou family, like a spring breeze blowing the earth, spread all over Kyoto City and into the imperial palace at once.
The emperor couldn't believe it when he heard it, "120,000 grains? ”
How much is 120,000 millet?
The emperor did not have this concept. He asked his father-in-law, "Is this too much?" ”
Father-in-law Huan said without exaggeration: "Many, many, this is a unique thing." ”
He said: "Good good land, with experienced farmers, and abundant manure, can grow so much food." Mrs. Hou planted it alone, the total number of a county seat! ”
The emperor inhaled, "If one Wuhou wife arrives in a county town, if it is given to ten Wuhou ladies, my Daliang will not lack food to eat!" ”
"Three hundred and forty-five pounds!" Grandpa Huan gave a thumbs up, "Good harvest." According to historical records, the maximum output is only 300 catties. This is not the autumn harvest, this is the spring harvest. ”
Father-in-law Huan said: "If it is autumn, it will have to rise by two catties." Maybe it can reach three hundred and fifty pounds. ”
The emperor suddenly laughed and said, "Great joy." God bless the girders. ”
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, the emperor has more people who think he can be a good general."
"Hahaha......" The emperor drank twice as much that night, and threatened to reward Mrs. Wuhou.
…………
When Prime Minister Han got the news, he even forgot to put down the brush.
"Really?"
The petty official said, "It's spread outside." Xiao Chen made a special inquiry, this Mrs. Wuhou does have some skills. The price of silk, the reason why it is low, is because she made it.
She was the first to set up a workshop in Liangcheng, and got people to enter the workshop to weave collectively and produce a large amount of silk cloth. She is the one who makes trouble. ”
The price of silk was turbulent and fell all the way, which he had heard of for a long time, so the household department also sent envoys to Nanyang City to investigate, but there was no conclusion yet.
The petty official said: "The minister also inquired that this Mrs. Wuhou grew up in the fields since she was a child, and the fragrant rice in Kyoto that sold at a high price was produced by her family. ”
This strange woman deserves to be famous in the world, but she is the wife of Wuhou and should not give her fame.
But what she did was beneficial to the people, and it was also seen by everyone, and it was no longer his turn to be the master of this reputation.
A eunuch entered the door and said to Prime Minister Han Cheng: "The emperor is happy, saying that he wants to raise Mrs. Hou's command." The emperor has already gone to discuss with the queen and the queen mother. ”
The eunuch also said: "The emperor heard that the winter wheat was about to be harvested, and he wanted to go to the mountain villa to have a look, and see with his own eyes the mountains of grain." ”
Prime Minister Han asked the eunuch, "Who brought the news to the emperor's ears?" ”
The eunuch said: "The Governor Zuo gave the Lord in the matter a trip to the palace, and took a fold to the emperor, on which was written the spring harvest of Lingyu Villa. also handed over Mrs. Hou's method of planting millet and wheat to the emperor. ”
"Hmph." This group of thieves is all going to take advantage of loopholes.
Prime Minister Han Cheng said to his subordinates: "Send someone to check and find out if this is the credit of Mrs. Hou, or if someone is eager for quick success, greedy for merit and impersonation, or fake and boast of merit." ”
"Yes."
