Chapter 295: Gongsun Du's thoughts
After a night, Zhuang Shaoyou successfully won Gongsun Linglong.
When he woke up early in the morning, Zhuang Shaoyou got up to practice his sword and came back, and found that Gongsun Linglong was still lying in bed, so he immediately walked over, gently patted her buttocks, and said, "The lazy worm is up!" ”
Gongsun Linglong was hiding her face and refused to come out, and said with a rumbling: "People don't want to go out!" ”
Zhuang Shaoyou laughed: "Okay, forget it if you don't come, I'll go to greet Lord Gongsun myself later!" ”
"What? Which Gongsun-sama? ”
Zhuang Shaoyou smiled and said, "Which Gongsun can it be?" Your father, my father-in-law! It's probably an hour away! Hello do it yourself! ”
Gongsun Linglong suddenly became angry when she heard this: "You knew it yesterday, right?" Why didn't you tell someone earlier? How do you let people look like this? ”
Zhuang Shaoyou smiled: "Of course I knew last night, so I was deliberately very gentle last night, but you are too... ”
"Bang!"
A hard pillow flew towards Zhuang Shaoyou, Zhuang Shaoyou was startled, and quickly dodged, Gongsun Linglong gritted his teeth and said, "You are not allowed to say it again!" ”
Zhuang Shaoyou said while changing his clothes: "Okay, someone worked hard last night, was slightly injured and couldn't get out of the line of fire, and always insisted on fighting!" I promise not to tell anyone about this! Let's just know! After saying that, he turned around and ran, and there was a roar behind him:
"Zhuang Shaoyou! Die! You don't want to go to this girl again in the future... ”
"The bed!"
Gongsun Linglong seemed to realize that her shouting was too loud and would alarm the others, so she stopped it in time, and the last two words were just muttered softly.
Zhuang Shaoyou had just run far, and when he heard Gongsun Linglong's shout, he suddenly stumbled under his feet, and all the people who passed by along the way covered their mouths and smiled.
The girls in Liaodong are really tough enough! This has been the case since ancient times! Zhuang Shaoyou has witnessed it himself!
The sun is three poles, and the autumn sun shines on the land of Liaodong far away, with a feeling of indifference, which makes people feel very outward.
At the wharf in the north of the city, Zhuang Shaoyou came to the wharf with a group of officials to wait.
Soon, a ship could be seen slowly approaching the dock in the distance, and the watchtower on the pier had confirmed that it was a four-masted merchant ship.
Two quarters of an hour later, the ship arrived at the pier and came ashore.
Zhuang Shaoyou led people forward, and a familiar and unfamiliar figure appeared on the bow of the boat, and that person was Gongsun Du!
"Hahaha, Shaoyou, we haven't seen each other for a while! It's been more than three years in a blink of an eye, and Shibei should be impressed in three days, and this is true! Now that you are Shaoyou, you have become a world-famous general! Uncle is so pleased and envious! ”
As soon as Gongsun Du appeared, he immediately laughed heartily and said, Zhuang Shaoyou smiled slightly, and stepped forward to salute: "If it weren't for Uncle Gongsun's care back then, how could there be Shaoyou today!" ”
Gongsun Du couldn't stop nodding, observing his words and deeds, although Zhuang Shaoyou was a successful young man, he was not complacent, and his future was limitless! If there is chaos today, Zhuang Shaoyou is obviously one of the few people who can win the Central Plains! Immediately praised: "Shaoyou, humble and cautious, victorious but not arrogant, can be described as a general!" It's much stronger than my uncle back then! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou smiled slightly: "It's just a coincidence, just in time for his meeting!" Uncle Gongsun sat in Liaodong, defeated Goguryeo, defeated Wuhuan, the enemy Xianbei, and the four were trembling, and he was also a masterpiece of the Gaidai! ”
Gongsun Du laughed at himself: "Uncle! If you are twenty years younger, or even ten years old, you will definitely fight for it, but now, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the uncle's generation is outdated, and it will soon be slapped on the beach by your group of back waves! Hahaha! ”
The two said as they walked, Gongsun Du only glanced at Gongsun Linglong, and could see that there was still a trace of blush on her face, and she was suddenly slightly happy, it seems that her daughter and Zhuang Shaoyou are getting along well! That's a good step!
Came to the county office, now called the county guard's house!
Zhuang Shaoyou, Gongsun Du and a group of people sat down as guests.
Gongsun Du smiled and said, "Shaoyou! Let me tell you something happy first, you can't blame Uncle for this! Two months ago, when you were still in Luoyang, my uncle's fellow villager and friend Xu Rong wrote to ask my uncle: Zhuang Shaoyou is from Liaodong, right? What is the way to go? Why are my lords and military advisors so afraid of him? Shaoyou, do you know how Uncle replied to him? ”
Zhuang Shaoyou smiled slightly: "I really can't guess!" ”
Gongsun Du laughed: "Uncle replied to him with three words: My son-in-law!" Hahaha! It's so cool, I don't know what that kid's expression will be when he receives the letter! Hahaha! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou also laughed along, mainly to match the jokes told by Gongsun Du.
Gongsun Du suddenly restrained his smile and said, "Shaoyou, there is no need to be so taboo now, when are you going to marry Linglong?" And you women should do the same! Uncle is good to give you Zhang Luo Zhang Luo, if you want to go to Liaodong Office, go to Liaodong, if you want to be in Liaonan, you will be in Liaonan! You decide! Even if you want to go to the Central Plains, no problem! Uncle Feng will accompany you to the end! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou thought for a moment and said: "If nothing else, it will be done during the Spring Festival this year!" Several good wives in the family have been with me for so many years, and they are not young, and they will get married during the Spring Festival this year! The location is set in southern Liaoning! ”
Gongsun Du smiled: "Good to say!" That's it! Shaoyou, don't blame your uncle for being anxious, first, Linglong will be twenty years old after the New Year, and she will be an old girl at the age of eighteen, and she hasn't married at the age of twenty. Also, when you go to the Central Plains in the future, I don't know how many dignitaries want to cling to you! Uncle has to hold on, don't be preempted by others! As long as Linglong is your main house, it doesn't matter how much you love to marry in the future! ”
When Zhuang Shaoyou heard this, his face suddenly became a little embarrassed, and Gongsun Du frowned when he saw this, could it be that there was already a main room? Suddenly thinking of something, Gongsun Du suddenly felt anxious, as if the first emperor had some Wannian princess who also followed Zhuang Shaoyou! Now it's a problem!
Gongsun Du subconsciously looked at Gongsun Linglong, and Gongsun Du didn't know anything about Zhuang Shaoyou's harem, but vaguely heard that he had several women, Gongsun Linglong smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Gongsun Du suddenly sighed in his heart, the woman here has no desire to fight, it can be seen that the strength of that person! So he tentatively asked:
"Shaoyou, what are you embarrassed about in this matter? Tell my uncle about it, uncle is not the kind of person who is unreasonable! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou smiled bitterly: "Uncle, I don't want to do that, it's all a family, and I have to divide it into three, six, nine and so on, how can I live like this?" Every woman in the family is my wife, and she has the same status, what do you think? ”
When Gongsun Du heard this, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to be a little displeased, is Zhuang Shaoyou perfunctory? All equal? How is this possible? Zhuang Shaoyou is a person who hopes to dominate the world, and the current main room is the queen of the future! This year, it's about strength! Even if it's a princess, it's not a big deal, the princess of the last dynasty, it's not bullshit!
Zhuang Shaoyou didn't speak again, but Gongsun Linglong said: "Father, don't worry about this matter, as long as your daughter thinks it's suitable!" ”
One sentence blocked Gongsun Du there, Gongsun Du smiled awkwardly, sighed, and didn't say anything after all, let's talk about it later! Urge her later, let her hurry up and give birth to a son, the status of the eldest son is very high, and with the old face of Gongsun Du, how can he not be a concubine, right? As long as you can mix the first heir, it is the most important thing!
Gongsun Du was weathered, the city was very deep, and soon suppressed the matter, and the conversation changed, talking about this year's harvest, Gongsun Du was very proud to show off this year's harvest in Xiangping, although it was a disaster, but the harvest was even better than in previous years! In particular, the summer grain corn introduced from southern Liaoning is a bumper harvest!
The hinterland of eastern Liaodong is large and small, and the plain rivers of the small Liao level are vertical and horizontal, the land is fertile, and there are 1.2 million hectares of fertile land! It is more fertile than the land in southern Liaoning, but Xiangping City can effectively control only the land south of Da Liaoshui, Xiangping and several nearby county towns with a total of less than 150,000 hectares, and the rest of the places are beyond the reach of the whip! Xiangping City harvested 5.6 million hus of spring wheat this year, and 2.8 million hus of summer grain and corn! But most of them belong to the major wealthy families in Xiangping, and the main thing that Gongsun Du can control is corn.
Hearing the figures reported by Gongsun Du, it is not much different from Zhuang Shaoyou's estimate, although the Liao level is good, but it is too restless, there are Xianbei and Wuhuan in the northwest, Goguryeo and Buyeo in the northeast, and they are restless all year round, and they want to farm safely and steadily.
The population of Liaodong County has exceeded 300,000, of course, this is the statistics of the hinterland of Liaodong, and all of Liaonan has been given to Zhuang Shaoyou. The annual ration of 300,000 people needs more than 2 million hu, which means that there is a lot of surplus grain in Liaodong this year! Well, you can buy it!
Although there are 7 million grains in southern Liaoning, the population of the two prefectures is large, up to millions of people, the grain harvest in the two prefectures this year is serious, the fertile land on both sides of the Yellow River is basically no harvest, and the grain harvest in other lightly affected places is estimated to be three or four percent of previous years, and they have to face the exploitation of all kinds of powerful people, and there is certainly not much grain left in the hands of the people!
The population of southern Liaoning is already as high as 250,000, and there are still tens of thousands of high-consumption troops to support, and if we can't keep it, we will have to expand the army next year, and the preliminary estimate is that the grain consumption in the next year will exceed 2.5 million to 3 million Hu! The amount of grain that can be used is only 4 million hu, and even if you save money, you can only feed 6 or 700,000 people, which is obviously not enough!
After thinking about it, Zhuang Shaoyou opened his mouth and asked: "Uncle Gongsun, I want to buy some grain from Xiangping, a lot of it, do you think this matter is feasible?" ”
When Gongsun Du heard this, he thought for a while and said: "It may be a little difficult, this year's floods in the Central Plains are serious, and now the grain prices in the Central Plains are more than three times higher than those in Xiangping, if there is a spring famine in the coming year, I am afraid it will have to increase several times!" The wealthy families in Xiangping City are all hoarders, planning to sell grain to the Central Plains to make a fortune in the coming year, and I can't stop this! ”
