Chapter Forty-Eight: A Prodigy?
Ma Zhou now looks at Liu Fan's eyes, most of the time he thinks he has seen a ghost, and it is too unbelievable to write such a poem at this age.
Liu Fan is like a nobody, all day long in addition to being in a daze is wandering around the village, when everyone praises themselves as a prodigy, Liu Fan began to gather to play cards, fried golden flowers, two eight bars, run fast and so on, so that for a long time in the village and even some gambling houses in Chang'an City began to get these things.
When a thing is profitable, the market will burst out with a huge ability to innovate, just like this card, more and more people are playing, and the research speed of paper is also a thousand miles away, and Liu Fan Village has also received similar orders, so the paper mill began to fully invest in the research, Liu Fan will also give some advice, but it takes a little time to get it out, Liu Fan is very patient to wait.
While waiting, Liu Fan also came up with a novel product called mahjong, thanks to Zheng He, without Zheng He, the world would be a lot less fun, sometimes judging historical figures, although Liu Fan was most shocked by what they did, but more often they were appreciating these gadgets they made in adversity.
Mahjong was first popular in the village, because mahjong was relatively simple to make, and it did not require as much paper as cards, so it began to circulate very quickly.
Mahjong carved from stone, wood, jade, etc. gradually began to appear on the market, and it sold quickly, and behind these businesses there was Liu Fan's shadow.
The popularity of mahjong even made Li Shimin angry in the court, and angrily reprimanded: "Living in the palace, but everywhere you hear the sonorous sound of mahjong, like a war drum disturbing people's mood!" ”
Princes and nobles were forbidden to play mahjong, but the market and the like were everywhere.
Quietly newly opened mahjong parlors are all over Wannian County and Chang'an County, and then mahjong must be played by those who are rich and idle, and the bitter haha people are still facing the loess and facing the sky from the land to eat.
Liu Fan was knocked to the ground by Jiang Muxue again, Jiang Muxue rubbed his wrist and smiled: "Do you want to continue to compete?" ”
Liu Fan didn't speak, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up and pounced again, Jiang Muxue kicked over but was hugged by Liu Fan, Liu Fan didn't let go, Jiang Muxue's face turned red angrily, and said angrily: "Hurry up and let go, you are a disciple!" ”
Liu Fan said angrily: "You hit me so much, I'll just hug my legs, it's not that I haven't seen it, what's so strange!" ”
Jiang Muxue was embarrassed and angry by his shameless remarks, and kicked Liu Fan's head with another kick in the air, Liu Fan was frightened: "You are dead!" ”
Immediately let go of his hand and dodged to the side.
Jiang Muxue was panting and wanted to catch up and continue fighting, but was stopped by Liu Fan: "The time has come, an hour, and today is over!" ”
Jiang Muxue stomped her foot angrily, turned around and walked out.
Liu Fan was lying on the ground, panting heavily, after being beaten like this for so many days, the whole muscles and bones were scattered, but it was very refreshing, and there was a kind of pleasure of being abused that was difficult to explain.
In this kind of era, it is impossible for the old gods to be by their side at any time, and only a strong body can live longer.
The ancestor can be regarded as the oldest in the village, and there are many people in this world who have lived as long as her, and Liu Fan also wants to live longer.
After taking a bath, I saw Lin Hao running in in a hurry, "Oh no, the security guard beat Cheng Cheng, the eldest son of Jin, Cheng Chumo!" ”
Liu Fan said: "Is it serious? ”
Lin Hao smiled bitterly: "It's not serious, there are injuries on both sides, but now that the trouble can't get off the stage, Cheng Chumo must give him an explanation from our village, otherwise he will sue the government and say that we beat people for no reason!" ”
The two talked while walking, and Liu Fan asked again: "Why did you make a fuss!" ”
"That Cheng Chumo was drunk, so he played drunk, staged martial arts on the street, the security guard stepped forward to dissuade him, Cheng Chumo did not listen to the persuasion, and the two sides started a dispute!"
Liu Fan nodded, and soon came to the core of the incident, Cheng Chumo screamed loudly, there were a lot of lively people, the middle circle had been surrounded by security guards, the security guards dared not speak, and Cheng Chumo, who was in the middle, had been staring at himself from the moment he arrived.
He didn't bring a part, only a subordinate, and he was unusually tall and strong on horse, and his appearance was really good.
Liu Fan walked in and said, "See General Cheng!" ”
Cheng Chumo saw Liu Fan coming, but he didn't have the arrogance he had before, and bowed his hand and said, "You are here?" ”
Liu Fan smiled: "Yes, it's exactly below!" ”
"Huh! It's better to be famous than to meet, you must have known today's things, how do you say to solve it! Cheng Chumo said coldly.
Liu Fan said with a smile: "I also ask General Cheng to compensate a certain family for some silver taels for the treatment of these personnel!" This is the law of the Tang Dynasty, not my words. ”
Cheng Chumo looked at Liu Fan coldly for a long time, and when he waved his hand, someone handed him a silver tael, Cheng Chumo took it and didn't count it, threw it to Liu Fan and said, "Here you go!" That's enough to pay for the medical bills! ”
Liu Fan said with a smile: "Thank you General Cheng, then a certain family will not disturb General Yaxing, everyone disperse, all personnel continue to patrol!" ”
The crowd dispersed and returned to a lively scene.
Lin Hao was surprised: "That's it?" He is the eldest son of Cheng Jin! ”
Liu Fan frowned and said: "If this matter is not handled like this, how to deal with it, the old Cheng family is willing to help us like this, and it will be difficult to return the gift when it is returned, and it is estimated that a part of the benefits will be given!" ”
Lin Hao listened to two big heads, and Liu Fan didn't bother to explain, so let Lin Hao continue to do what he should do.
Ma Zhou found Liu Fan and said, "Cheng Mansion has given you a problem!" ”
"Yes, I originally thought that the old general was willing to support us just to make money, but I never thought that now I would not hesitate to throw my son's face here, and also tie us to his chariot, alas, these spirits are really not simple!" Liu Fan sighed.
Ma Zhou smiled: "Actually, this is also a good thing, isn't it?" At least with Cheng Zhijie behind us, we can avoid a lot of trouble, and now Cheng Zhijie's reputation is strong, with his support, no one in this village will dare to do it again! ”
Liu Fan waved his hand and said: "I just saw Cheng Chumo, in fact, I wanted to drive him out for a moment, Ma Zhou, I want you to remember one thing, we don't rely on others, we rely on the current Your Majesty, only if no one chooses, can we stand on our feet forever, no matter which one we take refuge in now, we will suffer a lot of losses." ”
Ma Zhou thought for a while, and then said: "Then it is estimated that some of the profits will have to be given out in this matter, so that the Cheng family can participate in one of the sectors we operate." ”
Liu Fan nodded, and then said: "This matter is not easy to do, you can do it yourself, see which of us has more money, and divide it out for the Cheng family to take over, only give one of them, and don't give the others!" ”
Ma Zhou smiled bitterly: "If you dare to refuse Cheng Zhijie's kindness like this in this world, it is estimated that you are the only one!" ”
