"Brother, I really don't blame me for this! Since I lived in the township, I have always been diligent and thrifty, and I am not willing to throw away even those old waste hemp, you know......"

In the wall of Shi's house, Shi Jing was beaten by his brother Shi Gong again, although no outsiders appreciated it in the hall this time, Shi Gong did not leave his hand at all, and beat Shi Jing with tears in his eyes and screamed.

"If you don't blame you, who is to blame? Do you want to blame the cows, horses, pigs and dogs in the stable? ”

Shi Gong's face was furious, he was too tired to swing his fist, but he still let the house slave hold Shi Jing's head and neck and prevent him from looking up: "Do you know how hard it took me to get 5,000 stone of miscellaneous grain from the master's house?" Fang Jin's new grain has not been harvested, and the rest is still unknown where to be collected. You're squandering money at home, and it's still like this! This loss is a good opportunity for my hometown to win, if it is stolen by other families, no matter how thick the family business is, it is afraid of being robbed! ”

"I—I'm really trying to do things, and I've always kept my brother's advice in mind. But...... But those thieves in the county, if they were usual, they naturally did not deserve to compete with my family. But the Li family's vertical son has a deep supply of goods, and everyone in Hexian knows that as long as he can visit his family's oil goods, he is expected to win me, so he is a thief and drives up oil prices......"

Shi Jing's face was pressed tightly to the ground, and he was full of sadness when he talked about it.

The county can be called a large family, with a total of more than a dozen. They have lived in their hometowns for many years, and they also know each other's details. The reward for losing promulgated by Daxingtai is senior and shallow, and some people are excluded in advance. Some people who think they can't compete can only regret giving up.

However, a variable like Li Tai suddenly emerged and hoarded a large amount of ointment in advance, so that the wealthy people in the countryside saw the opportunity to follow this convenient method, so they also enthusiastically joined in the competition.

The price of oil was relatively stable, otherwise Shi Jing would not have sold the goods stored at home and even the next season's harvest to Li Tai because he was greedy for the two percent of the profits.

With so many villagers participating in the looting of surplus goods on the market in Zuojin Township and County, it is no wonder that oil prices are not soaring, and it is not something that Shi Jing can control at all. Even if he was reluctant to spend a lot of money, seeing that other villagers were eager to buy, he had to join in order to prevent other people from overtaking in corners.

"This kid is really ruthless, obviously the storage is sufficient, but he still wants to show people weakness, tell the villagers that the storage is insufficient, and urge people to raise the price. Not only does he earn all the money now, but even the flax after the autumn is in the budget! Brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong...... I guessed that there will be a food shortage this year, and the number of flax planted is small, so I intended to take advantage of the low price of flax and buy enough after the autumn, but the price is too high now, and I will lose a lot after the autumn......"

When Shi Gong heard this, he was so angry that he almost wanted to vomit blood, and now the matter of losing the reward is undecided, and the family wealth before and after is a huge loss, all because his brother was stupid for a while, and he was at the mercy of a foreigner from Dongzhou in the countryside. Once this matter spreads, his family will become a local laughing stock.

The more Shi Gong thought about it, the more angry he became, he stood up from the seat again, and raised his leg to kick Shi Jing.

"Brother is slow, slow, I have a way, I have a way!"

Shi Jing heard the rumors, and hurriedly shouted: "Since that kid has enough goods, he still doesn't dare to lose the official and be rewarded, which shows that he is still afraid of my hometown." I have already inquired that the kid had collected nearly 2,000 pieces of flax in advance, and most of them were bought from large households near the left. Today's prices are very good, who doesn't feel distressed? Let's connect with the township, refuse to pay after the autumn, the crowd is difficult to touch, what can he do? ”

"Still stupid, stupid! Are you afraid that my house will not be broken? ”

When Shi Gong heard this, he was even more furious, and kicked Shi Jing on the shoulder: "Didn't you hear that kid say that you want to resell the bill at the current price?" Who can he sell to? It's not like he has to go through Master Heba and resell those distant military heroes! You incite nostalgia and refuse to pay current goods, how can you have two or three family affairs? At that time, there will be a fight in Huazhou, and there will be a place for my family in Huazhou? ”

After venting to his brother's body again, Shi Gong sat down angrily, and pointed at Shi Jing viciously and said: "Immediately lead the cart and horse to the direction of Jingzhao, turn back halfway, whether it is loading soil or stones, you must fill the car!" Since the villagers want to fight, I don't think they can fight better than my family's wealth! ”

"Didn't the master say that he wanted to lose? Why pretend to be ......"

"Jingzhao loses the reward to the Eight Governors, won't the master plan it? First rely on the huge goods to suppress the morale of the villagers, so that they dare not fight with me anymore. After that, I visited a few brave folks, collected their materials, and positioned me as an official! ”

Shi Gong said in a deep voice: "As for the payment of flax after the autumn, there are still a few months to go, so there is no need to be impatient." When I get the position of governor of the township regiment in this realm, it's not too late to talk to that erector again! ”

At this time, in the Shangyuan Li Tai Manor, another visitor arrived, and it was the party leader surnamed Zhao in the original west.

Zhao Dang's name is Zhao Lijie, he is in his fifties, he looks very old, and a young man with a rather heroic appearance is accompanying him, and he looks at his son and nephew.

"When the elders of the village come to visit, they are not welcomed."

Li Tai stood in front of the door of the middle hall of the manor, looked at the party leader Zhao who was trembling down from the ox cart and said with a smile.

Although the fields of each other's estates are not far away, Li Tai is the first time he has seen this Zhao party leader. I had visited before, buying sesame seeds and raw hemp materials, but this Zhao Party Leader was sick and only let the clansmen receive him.

In the past, many large households in the county came to visit, but no one from the Zhao family in this township came. Li Tai was also a little curious about why this Party Leader Zhao came to visit today.

"Lintoe enters the township, you should come to see you. The old and sick body is still good, and I ask Li Lang to forgive me. Dog Jingzhi, the countryside is talented, if you pollute the audio-visual, I will blame it! ”

This Zhao Party Leader bowed slightly to Li Tai, and then pointed to the young man who was supporting him beside him.

Li Tai invited the father and son into the hall to sit down, and before he could speak, the party leader Zhao looked at Li Tai and sighed: "The Han family and Li Lang's family are from the right side of Long, so General Zuo and Xunyang Gongnai are worshipping their ancestors." Now I see Li Langxiu standing upright, the old and famous family, and I feel even more ashamed to see my ancestors! ”

Li Tai was stunned when he heard this, and it wasn't until Li Zhu next to him whispered an explanation before entering the life, and he realized that he was born in the Tianshui Zhao family from the Chen family.

Before, he asked Zheng Man about the details of the Zhao family, but he didn't listen to Zheng Man's words about this section. Regardless of whether it is true or not, Li Tai is vigilant in his heart, the reason is that he once offended Zhao Gui, which is also the Tianshui Zhao family, this old thing threatens himself?

But soon Li Tai was relieved, because this Zhao Party Leader continued: "Li Lang's blind date He Ba Taishi, and my family's strong man Zhao Hussar, both set up a friendly minister of the country. A few days ago, I visited the house, and I heard that the hussars praised Lang Jun's demeanor. ”

Li Tai smiled when he heard this, and did not respond. Although he offended Zhao Gui, he was only known by someone in a small circle, far more than everyone knew about it.

Seeing that Li Tai was just smiling and silent, Party Leader Zhao couldn't help but feel a little weak, and then said: "Li Lang's clever strategy, working in the township, is really convincing. The old decay clan members are mediocre and subject to Li Lang together. But I'm not angry, if the intellectually strong can't control people, who is willing to do business with their hearts? ”

"The party leader is open-minded and admirable."

Li Tai said without being salty or light, he has met a lot of villagers recently, and he has also seen all kinds of styles. Although this party leader Zhao is the current manager of the township, he can't be interested.

"Daxingtai promulgated the reward for losing, and the countryside was in an uproar. In the morning, the county lieutenant of Shi said that I must be in the county position, and persuaded my family to send grain to Qianhu for help. The Han family is small, even if there is a little savings, I will not help him, Li Langzhi why? ”

Party Chief Zhao sold a pass, but when he saw that Li Tai was just smiling at the table and did not cooperate with him, he said a little sneeringly: "It's just because the county lieutenant Shi said that once the county situation is based on this, Li Lang will be driven away, and he will not be allowed to base himself in this township, and he will benefit me from this garden!" Although I am old and stupid, I don't think the county lieutenant's words are a good plan. The old man, a handful of loess can bury me, and if the children and grandchildren are talented, they will be prosperous, how can they take people and fatten themselves? Besides, Li Lang lives here, and the township is glorious......"

"Thank you for the party chief's benevolence, but I have an appointment with someone today......"

Li Tai no longer had the patience to continue talking, and stood up to thank the guest.

"Li Lang is shrewd and exemplary, but he knows little about rural affairs! Shi County Lieutenant is bound to win the position of this county, not only because of his wealth, but also because he is his in-law when he is the official of the county. Once he gains power, he will definitely not tolerate Li Lang living in peace. Although the power of the master is high, the high eaves are difficult to cover the grass, and the wind of the hall must be rushed! ”

Seeing Li Tai's attitude, Party Leader Zhao suddenly became high-pitched, obviously making full preparations for this trip: "Although my family owes the township capital, the power in the township is by no means inferior to the surname Shi. Li Lang only needs materials for a small house, I lobbied Zhao Husa to communicate up and down, although the historian is strong, there is no need to be afraid! But if my family establishes this country for one day, I will not allow the evil of the country to infringe on Li Lang......"

When Li Tai heard this, he immediately laughed happily, he was really an old man, an old ghost. During this time, he saw a lot of villagers, some threatened and some flattered, but thinking of the white wolf with empty gloves in his hands, this Zhao Party Leader was the first.

Party Chief Zhao's kind words are indeed thought-provoking. Because of my newcomers from other states, you and other villagers are sure that I can't compete for the position in this township. But before I could have asked you to give me the township money, the lesson is not far away, why are you so conceited and bullying the guests now? ”

Li Tai looked at this Zhao Party Leader and sneered, before he could order the eviction of the guests, Li Xiaoyong, a subordinate of the door, hurriedly came and said: "Ah Lang, the master of Zhou Shu has arrived outside the village, and several neighbors have also attracted one after another. ”

When the party leader Zhao heard this, his face changed suddenly, and after a little muttering, he waved his staff and knocked on his son's knee: "Inferior son, don't you want to see the lord?" Forgot what your family told you? ”

"Aye, this ......"

The young man Zhao Jingzhi was caught off guard, and was knocked to the ground by his Lao Tzu with a cane, with a look of surprise and puzzlement.

Party Commander Zhao ignored his son, stepped forward and grabbed Li Tai's hand, with a smile on his old face: "Li Lang misunderstood me, that historian has always been fierce and resentful in the township." I mean, give this clumsy son to Li Lang as a slave, ask Li Lang to give him grain and rice to raise him, and from then on, and refuse the evil heroes in the township! ”
