Chapter 282: Surprise is not exciting
Liu Dalong and Lu Youdao hurried to the Liujia mine with the mine manager.
When they were still a mile away from the mine, several people wrinkled their noses and faintly smelled a strong stench!
Not only that, but I also met a lot of elated country people along the way.
It's just that for rich families like Liu Dalong and Lu Youdao, they have never taken those mud legs seriously, so they don't care too much.
It wasn't until they got closer to the mine and smelled a strange smell that Liu Dalong and Lu Youdao pricked up their ears and listened to the chatter of the people passing by.
"Hehe, old man, I've lived most of my life, and it's the first time I've heard that someone would come to buy dung at a high price!"
"Who says it's not, and the purchase price is so high, it's a pie in the sky!"
"To tell you the truth, in just two days, I earned seven taels of silver by selling dung!"
"Tell me, where did the second ancestor come from, so don't play with money as money?"
"I really inquired, it is said that it is a noble person from Danyang County, and it seems that he has something to do with Lord Chu."
"Wouldn't it? How could Lord Chu know such a loser. ”
"You know what? I asked a soldier there, it is said that Lu Gongzi seemed to want to buy the Liu family's saltpeter, but unfortunately the Liu family did not sell it, Lu Gongzi was angry, so he bought a whole circle of land ten meters wide outside the Liujia mine, and surrounded the Liujia mine. ”
"And, guess what? Hehe, after Lu Gongzi bought the land, he didn't grow crops or do anything else, he hired someone to dig a circle of ten meters wide and five meters deep! ”
"Not only that, but Lu Gongzi also spent a high price to buy human and animal manure from all over the countryside, and dumped all of it into it, so that the people in the entire Liujia mine could not get out and in."
"The funniest thing is that it is said that the silver that Lu Gongzi bought from the dung seems to have been given to him by the master of the Liu family himself, haha——"
……
Liu Dalong covered his nose and turned his head to look at Lu Youdao in a daze.
Hearing the voices of those people, Lu Youdao was also stunned.
"Steward, are those mud-legged people telling the truth?"
The mine steward nodded aggrievedly, "Master, the villain also begged those soldiers for a long time before running out of the mine......"
"Damn it!"
Liu Dalong panicked.
I couldn't wait to ride my horse first, and with the discomfort churning in my stomach, I galloped away in the direction of the mine.
If it were to be like what the steward said, his mine would be completely ruined!
Without the mine, the foundation of his Liu family will be completely destroyed!
Soon, Liu Wenlong finally saw a scene that he would never forget!
Under the scorching sun, outside the saltpeter mine, hundreds of figures were constantly busy.
Someone is digging pits, someone is pouring dung, someone is patrolling......
However, one thing these people have in common is that they all wear thick towels around their noses.
As for his Liu family's mine, it was completely surrounded, and if you wanted to cross over and enter the mine, you could only go through those dug dung pits that were several meters deep and were filled with dung!
And inside the mine, it is now a mess.
Where do the miners still have the heart to work?
The smell of the dung pit had already drifted into the mine, and these people had to take a breath, and most of them didn't even dare to eat, and they had been hungry for a whole day.
If it weren't for the Liu family's family to stop them, I'm afraid some miners would have escaped from it in a hurry.
However, judging from the current situation, I'm afraid that the family in the mine won't be able to withstand it for too long, because they can't stand it either!
"Gross-"
Although he covered his nose, Liu Dalong still vomited from time to time, and the expression on his face had long been distorted.
Anger turned to anger, but after only staying for a while, Liu Dalong couldn't stand it anymore and turned around and turned his horse to rush back.
Lu Youdao didn't have Liu Dalong's courage, so he had already stopped half a mile away, and he was no longer willing to take a step forward.
"What's the situation?" Lu Youdao asked, covering his nose.
"Too much deception!" Liu Dalong's face was gloomy, and while cursing, he told what he saw.
After hearing this, Lu Youdao was almost stupid.
Two days ago, he and Liu Dalong were still laughing at Lu An's move to buy land.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the Liu family actually became a joke!
It turned out that Lu An's purpose in buying those lands was not to ask for saltpeter, but to completely destroy the Liujia mine!
Didn't you Liu Dalong sell me saltpeter?
All right!
Lao Tzu doesn't buy it, okay?
Is it okay for Lao Tzu to take money and smash the duck's head?
Lao Tzu has money, can I play with you to the end!!
Of course, Lu An is targeting Liu Dalong, and it has nothing to do with him Lu Youdao.
It's just that Lu An's move also made Lu Youdao panic.
No matter how you say that Liu Dalong is also his eldest brother, besides, it is he who persuaded Liu Dalong not to sell saltpeter to Lu An, and he is still Lu Youdao.
Either way, he can't really stay out of it.
"Steward, go over and call one of the soldiers sent by Lu An to dig the pit!"
The steward glanced at Liu Dalong, and Liu Dalong kicked him in the ass angrily, "Why are you still stunned?" Hurry up! ”
Soon, a soldier with a spear rode up to Liu Dalong and the two, with a thick white towel around his nose, squinted at Liu Dalong, and said coldly, "What's the matter!?" ”
Lu Youdao angrily pointed in the direction of the mine and shouted, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"What do you mean?"
"That's the Liujia Mine! You're digging a pit outside the mine and pouring manure into it, so what will happen to the people inside the mine! ”
"What do I care about you!"
The soldier was also angry, his face was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he scolded, "If you bastards hadn't offended my son-in-law, wouldn't we have stayed in this place to suffer this crime!"
In the past two days, our brothers have not even stopped eating!
If it weren't for the double estimate given by my son-in-law, the brothers would have been unable to stand it!
Lao Tzu advises you, what to do and what to do, don't talk crookedly here!
My son-in-law said that the land he bought has nothing to do with your Liu family's dime!
Our people only operate in the place where my son-in-law bought, and they have never set foot in the Liujia mine for half a step!
We don't bother you, and you don't want to interfere in our affairs.
In addition, my son-in-law said that the people of the Liujia mine can go out, but they can't go in!
Unless you know how to fly!
Okay, what should you do, don't hang around here, if you interfere with our people's work, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite! ”
With that, the soldier turned around angrily and rode away, leaving Liu Dalong, Lu Youdao and others staring wide-eyed.
The steward asked in a low voice, "Master, what now?" ”
Liu Dalong gasped violently in his chest, and finally roared angrily in the sky!
"Ahh
