Chapter 1: The Poor Door
The golden autumn arrived, and the public came to the bottom of the mountain, and there was a heavy rain.
This rain has not yet spread to the entire Taishan County, it comes and goes quickly, like a lover's gentle pecking on the lips.
After the rain stopped, many families had only a little wetness in their thatched huts.
While many people looked up at the sky and complained that the light rain could not solve the drought of the whole year, the small fenced courtyard located in the southwest corner was noisy.
Standing in the center of the crowd is the current owner of the small courtyard, Liu Qi, who is fifteen years old.
Opposite Liu Qi, a man in a dark coat who was quite wealthy was the housekeeper of the Ma family, a local wealthy family, who came to collect money.
After listening to Ma Zeng's words, Liu Qi broke free from the support of his second brother Liu Ji, his bearing was indifferent, but his movements were a little clumsy and he saluted: "The gentleman promises a thousand gold, this field, since it has been mortgaged, it will be under the feet of the gentleman." ”
"In addition, the remaining acres of my family, in addition to this vegetable garden, do you think that it can be priced?
Maybe all for food? ”
"Liu Dalang can't, these fields are the root of life, what do you eat if you sell them!"
"Yes, if Liu Dalang really wants to sell it, it is better to find a tenant farmer to do farming!"
As soon as Liu Qi said this, the relatives, friends and neighbors who came to visit left and right all said nothing to stop him.
For ordinary people, the field is the lifeblood.
Liu Qi's trip should be to cut off his own livelihood.
Seeing that Liu Qi's face was not moving, it was obvious that he had made up his mind, and the burly brother Liu Zhi on the side was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and his sister-in-law Du Shi kept sighing and annoyed, and sighed "loser".
As for the others, they also kindly shouted "Erlang, young lady persuade your brother" Yunyun.
In the house, although Liu Ji is young, but the eldest brother is the father, I don't know why, after the eldest brother woke up yesterday, like Liu Zhi, he was a little afraid, just like facing his former father, so he was worried and couldn't speak for a long time.
Liu Youniang, named Wei, eight years old, delicate, heard that there is no need to farm, the two brothers and her, do not need to be busy in the field from time to time, I wanted to cheer, but when I thought that there was no field, there would be no food, and the little man was also stunned in place, at a loss, and cried.
Ma Zeng's small mung bean eyes kept turning, groaning, his heart could be slaughtered well, and before he could speak, his entourage whispered in his ear, turned his head to look at a carriage parked outside, and was shocked, but also a little glad that it was not too much, and hurriedly saluted Liu Qi and said: "Lao Liu Dalang later, my master has returned, this matter is ...... It is time to return to it.
In addition, the field is the life of people, and Liu Dalang should think twice. ”
The always shrewd steward of the Ma family would actually give good words to persuade him, Liu Qi tilted his head slightly, just bowed his head slightly, and said in his heart: It's Ma Taigong who came? The Ma family is a local family. Now in comparison, I have crossed over, although I am the queen of the clan, but I have fallen so far, even Liu Bei in the book is not as good, and I have the face of losing my ancestors.
Listening to the words of the Ma family's steward, looking at the lively neighborhoods, they turned their heads to look and shouted "Ma Gong" one after another.
But the owner of this Ma family was also the Pyeongchang Order, because many years ago, the disaster of the party recurred, and he went home to recuperate.
During his return to his hometown, he was still friendly to his neighbors. Coupled with its high morality, no one is disrespectful. A year ago, he was summoned by Kong Rong, the minister of the neighboring Beihai Kingdom, to re-enter the government in Beihai Kingdom, but this time he returned to his hometown for some reason.
Ma Fu is often not in his hometown, including the sale of fields, etc., and has always been in charge of the housekeeper. Businessmen pursue profits, and although the stewards of the Ma family occasionally lower prices, they are never forced to buy and sell.
It is the family style here that makes the township party respect Ma Gong very much.
According to Liu Qi's waking memory, he also valued this, so he put forward this point.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion, Taishan County, and the neighboring Xuzhou will become a place of war, and now they are all starving to death, empty to guard the fields, but is it still useful?
~
Ma's car only stayed for a moment, and then under the escort of several servants, he went to the old house of his family.
For a kind of rural view, quite envious, many people even gave birth to the idea of "good men, should be like this".
Inside the car, Ma Fu looked out the window.
Opposite him, the eldest son, Ma Ji, was sitting in a precarious position, waiting carefully.
"Although the ancestor of the Liu family has also been the slaughter of a county, he was already a poor family, and he left three young children, which made it more and more difficult. At a young age, it is difficult for the field to take care of itself, and selling the land can solve the temporary urgency, which is an expedient measure.
Why did my father tell me so, but he wanted to take care of one or two? Ma Jidao, the son of Ma Fu.
The Liu family is an outsider who moved in more than ten years ago and has little to do with the Ma family. But what his father and steward said was a great gift.
Ma Fu touched his long hair and muttered: "Not only that, you have also seen today's things, this Liu family man, handle things safely, trust and promise, is Weng Guanzhi, his own courage in the body, although he is weak now, but there will be achievements in the future!"
A few years ago, when I was in the township, I also had the reputation of being simple, diligent and filial, and I never thought that this person was so young. ”
Ma Ji frowned, a little puzzled: "Today, there are many talented people, including Xun Gongda and Guo Xiaoxian, who are famous all over the world. Compared with the outstanding people in this, although Liu Qi has a somewhat prominent personality, he doesn't seem to be precocious. Compared to these people, it is nothing, and it is rare for his father to appreciate it so much! ”
Ma Fu shook his head: "Xun Gongda, Guo Xiaoxian and others, even if they are so famous, they must be recruited by the imperial court and pay homage to the prime minister, which is not a problem, and it is far beyond our reach."
What's more, and today there is chaos, and there are heroes born.
Emperor Gao of the former Taizu was not born in the market and eventually became an emperor?
Nai Weng knows that you have rarely traveled to Chang'an to study, you have seen the world, and you have returned to the place, and your heart is arrogant, but you must not underestimate the characters in this world.
Take this time to Yangdu, in its county, the Zhuge clan and the Zhang clan are all famous families, so pay a visit first! ”
"Teachable!
By the way, I heard that our Taishan County has changed a county prince, and it seems that it is from the Yangdu Zhuge clan......"
Ma Fu nodded lightly, his face showing a look of remembrance: "Yes!" This person's name is Zhuge Jue, and he has met him once in his early years, and he is indeed a masterpiece.
When bandits were rampant in the county, and the arrogance of the yellow turban ant thieves had ups and downs, now it is Baoben County, and it is also this person who proposed to expand the county soldiers and call the townships to train in case of emergency.
Yesterday, I passed the county seat of Gai County, and the king of Nagai County, Peng Wang Boji, was my old acquaintance, and he met with Nai Weng alone, which was precisely for this reason.
Gaixian is our hometown, and we are also friends of the villagers, and my Ma family cannot stand idly by.
At this point, I plan to let the men in the clan go to a few more people, although the text is not good, but in this world, you should also experience one or two in order to make contributions!
For this matter, now the county temple has posted a notice, and my Ma family should also help Zhang Luo one or two! ”
Ma Fu's words turned, and he said with a bit of examination: "It's just that at the moment, such as Berkiyan, I Qingshui Pavilion, there is still a lack of a pavilion chief, I recommend it, I don't know who to choose!" ”
Unconsciously, the car has arrived at the door of the Ma family, seeing the sorrow of his father, and knowing that in this world, it is not easy to be an elder in the pavilion.
The arrest of thieves is only one of them, the Yellow Turban Army is violent, and it is also responsible for leading the countryside to seize and go into battle to block it.
If it is a peaceful world, I am afraid that people will rush to do it, but nowadays......
Ma Ji is knowledgeable, he helped Ma Fu down, raised his head and said: "If my father just prompted me that my son has a strategy, why not post the countryside and ask him to recommend himself, and then his father will choose it?"
If no one wants to go, the father can make it clear to the county magistrate, and then he will be a person with high morality, and there is nothing to say if he wants to come to the neighborhood! ”
Ma Fu's eyes lit up, and he stroked his palms and said: "It's really my family's unicorn, this plan is very wonderful!" ”
