Chapter 412: What About Cats? (Ask for a commuter pass)
"Meow~~"
"Sir, your cat is barking, but is it thirsty? Or is it stuck? Lu Zhixian drank half a pot of wine, his face was already flushed, and he bent down and looked at the cat with concern, "Can you put another half bowl of coconut soup to quench its thirst?" ”
"She said thank you for the hospitality, she has eaten a lot, and on the way to find that there are a lot of rats in the county mansion, in order to repay the county, she wants to clear the county."
"Oh? But really? ”
"Nature."
"This meow, it's such a long paragraph?"
"The words of cats and dogs are different from people, and the barking only expresses a meaning, and when translated in human language, it is very long."
"I see......"
Lu Zhixian smiled and said to Song You: "Mr. Gao Zhi, Gao Zhi, Gao Zhi, Gao Ren." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a three-colored shadow suddenly fall to the ground, and rushed out, and when Lu Zhixian looked out, he saw that it was the three-flowered cat brought by the Taoist, but it only ran to the end of the blink of an eye.
"This Lan'an County of Zhixian County is really well governed, and it can be regarded as a unique prosperous and rich county along the coast of Langzhou."
"Alas, I don't hide it, sir, the location of Lu someone's county is originally obliquely sealed, although this Langzhou is remote and wild, it can also meet Lu someone's desire to be an official. It's just that at that time, I thought that it was a good thing that this place was wilder, and not so many people looked down on it, but I didn't expect to come here, and the local natives didn't know what was oblique or not, but the county adjutant in the yamen often despised me. Under the propaganda of a few of them, the natives were very slightful about me. Lu Zhixian was obviously a little drunk, and shook his head, "Lu has no other way but to make some achievements to show them." ”
"It seems that Luzhi County is very effective."
"Haha, after a few years of operation, I have worked hard and barely won a good name."
"If you are an oblique official, you are a good official."
"Gotta Mr. Gotta have a drink."
Lu Zhixian immediately raised his glass again, touched him, drank wine with roast pig's tail, and said to him: "It's a pity that the weather here is too hot, although there is a large area of open land to be reclaimed, the sea is also an inexhaustible treasure house, Lu someone has been whispering over the years, and invited a lot of caravans to come, but the local people in Lan'an County are too few after all, and there is land and strategy, but no one is available......"
Lu Zhixian shook his head, quite regretful.
"The magistrate has a big plan in his chest."
"What if I have a big plan, I, an oblique official, can continue to do it safely, it's already good." Lu Zhixian paused as he spoke, lowered his voice again, and asked him for advice, as if he had heard the news that the court was deliberately deposing the oblique feudal officials, and asked him about the situation.
It's a pity that how can Song You know?
At that time, the people of Saibei came to invade in a big way, and the war was fought for many years, and several northern states were emptied, and the imperial court did not seek peace but war, and in order to raise military expenses, a lot of ink was sold to seal the officials out. If the national teacher is still around, he will definitely not do such a backshit, but now that the national teacher is dead, the emperor is dying, and seeing that the throne is about to change again, it is normal for the policy to change in this regard in the future.
It's good to be in Changjing, you can inquire for him, but now that you're thousands of miles away, there's really no way.
After this meal, the sound of rats chirping outside the house has sounded, quite miserable, Lu Zhixian stretched his neck to look out, but unfortunately it was already dark, the yard was dim, and he could only watch a colored shadow shuttling back and forth by the moonlight, and there were more black shadows on the ground, neatly arranged.
Only then did Lu Zhixian confirm that what the gentleman had just translated was true.
The day was hot and dry, so it was cooler at this time, and the two continued to chat, which was also quite enjoyable.
Until the food was almost eaten up, the wine was drunk, and the movement outside had almost subsided, the cat returned to the Taoist, sitting upright, licking his paws, Lu Zhixian asked the Taoist with concern, and the Taoist only said that all the rats in the house had been removed. When he sent the Taoist to the room with the lamp in his hand, he passed by the courtyard outside, and looked down by the light, even if he was prepared in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh.
There were more than a dozen rats on the ground, large and small, all neatly arranged.
"Sir, there is a god cat!"
Lu Zhixian couldn't help but boast.
The Taoist who had always been humble during the banquet listened, but he only smiled slightly, nodded and said:
"Indeed."
Then he followed him back to his room to rest.
The temperature difference on the seaside is large, hot and dry during the day, but it is very cool at night, Song You only uses the cat quilt to put on the belly, does not cover the quilt, and lies on the mat, which is a beautiful sleep.
Luzhi County is an official and diligent, and early in the morning he has found a native Xu official who works in a household, Lan'an County's income boat fishing accounts for the majority, Luzhi County imitates the system of many large commercial counties in the hinterland, and has set up a special office for fishing tax in the county office, this Xu official is engaged in related things, and is very familiar with the price of fishing boats, and asks Song You how big a boat he wants to buy as soon as they meet.
Song You originally wanted to buy a slightly larger one, which was not very big, just the size of the boat he was riding on the Yinjiang River and Liujiang River, so that it was convenient to bring the horses up.
It's just that I thought about it later, first, I was born in Yizhou, and I can't row, and I can't control the boat without spells, and secondly, the wind and waves at sea are far from being comparable to the inland rivers, although the jujube red horse is extraordinary, it can stand on a small boat that will be able to stand down, and bear the ups and downs of the sea, and it is too difficult for it, so I changed my words and only bought a small boat that can fit myself.
"It's easy to do!"
The native official immediately spoke, with a strong accent: "We don't lack this kind of boat here, don't talk about the old, it's not expensive to buy a new one, it's easy to buy, it's easy to buy." ”
"Just buy an old, sturdy one."
"Good to buy, good to buy!"
"Then thank you."
"Hey......
The native official didn't know how to answer, so he grinned.
Lu Zhixian sent them all the way out of the county office, took out the fishing rod he had used before and gave it to them, and took out a half-hanging copper coin to give him to make coiling. Song You is really not short of money now, so he politely declined the silver money and accepted the spotted bamboo fishing rod and fishing hook and fishing line given by Luzhi County, which can be regarded as a farewell gift for friends who have a good relationship, and leave a friendship.
Immediately, Song You took the jujube red horse and the three-flowered cat, and followed the local official all the way out of the city and to the sea.
I could already see the sea on the mountain, but I could only see one line, and now I walked for almost a whole hour before I came to a more lively fishing village by the sea.
"Here we call Gong'er Duo in the local dialect, which means that the people here are very good at shipbuilding, after the county magistrate came, he named it the boat village, so that the people who buy and sell ships come to buy and sell in this place, and now all the people here are shipbuilders and shipsellers. The village next door sells all the catch. The native official pointed to the front and said, "There are people in the county government here, buying and selling boats here, and they will not be deceived." ”
"The county knows good skills."
"I'll take you."
Song You followed him for a walk.
There are indeed a lot of boats sold here, although they are not as prosperous as the legendary Yangzhou overseas, but there are also large and small boats, but the most are the small fishing boats commonly used by fishermen.
Xu Yi chose a sturdy second-hand wooden boat for Song You, more than one zhang long and four feet wide, and cost three taels or six dollars of silver.
After drawing up a contract, pressing a fingerprint, paying taxes, and closing the deal, he was protected by the government.
"Thank you."
Song You took out a little bit of broken silver that had just been weighed and cut out, stuck it on the wax, less than a penny, and respectfully handed it to the official, counting it as the hard work of people going out for a special trip.
This is not a bad trend.
In these years, it is very common for the officials of the yamen to provide you with some convenience in addition to their duties, and to give you some remuneration, which is also one of their sources of income.
Xu took it very naturally, thanked him, and roughly told him the skills of rowing, and then stood on the shore, and saw that he could already row, so he told him: "The sea is stormy, your boat must be optimistic about the weather, if the sky changes, you have to come back, otherwise it will be overturned all of a sudden." ”
After speaking, he said goodbye to Song You and went back to the city.
At this time, the sun is slowly setting.
The sunset on the seashore was large and round, hanging in the sky, a huge yellow halo that shone on the surface of the sea, and many fishermen returned from going out to sea to bring their boats home.
Song You was still floating on the sea, and the waves were lapping the shore layer by layer, about to push the boat to the shore, and he said to Sanhua Niangniang with a smile: "We also have a boat of our own." ”
The cat stood in the middle of the boat, looked back at him when he heard the sound, then turned his head to look around, and then said:
"Three, two, six cents of silver."
"But with a boat, we can go to sea, we can fish, we can fish for squid, don't we think it's interesting for Sanhua Niangniang? It's all what Sanhua Niangniang likes to eat. ”
"Interesting."
"That's it."
"Three, two, six cents of silver."
"Sanhua Niangniang's Instructions......"
Song You said to her while rowing the boat: "You can't grow up in life, don't hesitate to buy wine money at the bedside." ”
"......"
The swallow flew down from the sky and landed on the bow of the ship.
At dusk, a small boat rowed along the shore, and the horses followed slowly on the shore.
The Taoist on the boat was talking to the cat.
"Liquor money?"
"Sanhua Niangniang has been learning poetry for so long, you should know that this is just a metaphor." Song You said patiently, "Life is short, youth is even shorter, Sanhua Niangniang has to cherish the Sanhua Niangniang who loves to play and can play at a young age, don't be stingy with money, and have fun in time, so that Sanhua Niangniang will be grateful to you in the future." ”
"Hmm......"
The cat stared thoughtfully at the Taoist.
The swallows lazily comb their feathers at the bow of the boat.
It took a while to hear her mutter:
"Sanhua Niangniang knows......
"Sanhua Niangniang must know ......"
Sanhua Niangniang has been studying poetry for a long time, and she naturally knows it by selling wine and metaphors.
……
This is the 6th place plus!
(bowing and bare-chested)
The reason why I added it now is because I went back to my hometown to visit my parents a few days ago. One of the things that Jasmine doesn't like about adding changes is that she can't take leave in the month of the change, otherwise she will be on leave if she adds a change and asks for leave, and there is a suspicion of misappropriating normal updates to leave a change. Although Jasmine knew that this was not the case, she was afraid that everyone would think so. So I was supposed to take a leave of absence a few days ago.,I just gritted my teeth and finished updating it normally.,It wasn't until today that I saved up the chapter to add more to everyone.。
