Volume 1 Xiao Yuanba Chapter 113 Teases the Money Leopard

"Lord Baihu said this lightly, if it is someone else's property, it can't be said that it is still the hard work of the ancestors, where is it so easy to let it out?" Zhao Jingzi shook his head.

"Oh, that's right." Jiao Baihu saw Li Dan looking at him, so he explained:

"The reason why I brought you here to camp is because there is no main house in this place now, so it is more convenient."

It turned out that the surrounding area belonged to a large local family surnamed Zou, and the small village by the pond in front of it was called Zoutang, and the village was formed around the courtyard of his house.

The Zou family moved from other places before the Jing disaster, and it is said that there are still people who are officials in the court. Unfortunately, however, the official was on the wrong side, and Jing was always a loyal supporter of the deposed emperor.

Needless to say, after Taizu ascended the throne, the three clans were exiled to Haixi as long as the surname Zou or those who were related to him were exiled to Haixi to herd horses or reclaim the famine, and the Zou family's property was sold by the government.

The embarrassing thing is that there are very few people who shoot because of their bad luck. In the end, it was sold and sold, and there was still a piece of Zoutang Village as the center that was not sold, so Jiao Baihu said that this hill was a terra nullius.

"Now this land is managed by Chentang Town, and people are hired to rent seeds and harvest. The town didn't want to take care of it, but it was only because the county promised to give the town office twenty stones of rice every year, so they reluctantly continued." Jiao Baihu smiled and continued to introduce:

"When I first arrived, I wanted to buy a yard in that village and give it to my father-in-law's family, so I knew about this festival. But because the town wants to sell this land and refuses to sell it for nothing, how can I have this capital?

That's why I chose the city, which is the courtyard where Wu Jiro now opens his store. If San Lang is interested, ask the second brother to talk" The second brother he said was the one who opened a forage shop in the city, and he was the second brother of the Hun family.

Listen to his introduction to Li Dan to figure out, the original history of this Wannian County is very short, it was until the end of the previous dynasty because of the rise of mining to set up a county, the county is actually in Qingyun Town, because of the face of the Wannian River, backed by the Wannian Peak, so the name "Wannian".

After the pacification of this dynasty, with the stability of the world and the entry of a large number of convicted soldiers and convicts into the mining industry, the place became more prosperous.

In order to deal with the increasing number of "uprisings" in various mining areas, the Jiangxi Metropolitan Command and Envoy Department set up four "sub-capital command and envoy divisions" in Wannian, Jing'an, Linjiang and Ningdu, that is, "sub-divisions", which were respectively commanded by the commander's acquaintance or the officer, so as to facilitate the deployment of troops nearby and the unstable ammunition pressure.

The sub-division was stationed in Chentang Town, which is located in an open terrain by the Zhuxi River, and built a warehouse for storing grain and weapons and a large number of garrison facilities here.

In the early years of Jingwu, when the miners made trouble, thousands of people rushed to the nearby Gutang.

After the incident subsided, the branch decided to build a city here, and only then did this circle have an earthen wall with a circumference of only three miles and a height of one zhang. and three redstone-paved gates.

The north gate is mainly the residents of the original Chentang Town, and after Confucianism, there are more facilities in the former division, the west is the school field, and the east is a variety of warehouses and yamen.

Later, the commercial area developed on both sides of the horizontal street between Chentang Town and the branch office, and Sihaiju, where Li Dan first met Zhao Chongbi, was also on this street. It's rare for a city to be so functional.

After visiting Mr. Qian, the head of the marching division, handing over the gift list and explaining the situation in Yugan County, Mr. Qian naturally "understood very much" his feelings of protecting Xiangzi.

Now that someone has been replaced, ensuring that the number of service members will not be affected, he said that he agrees with Li Dan's return to his hometown, and at the same time tells him a piece of news:

According to the general's war report, Li Dan has made meritorious contributions to the official army, and he has the sponsorship of the Shangrao prefect, and the branch division here also set an example for the scholars and squires, so the branch division and the general governor went to Nanchang to participate in the military conference this time, and planned to submit a report to the capital department and apply to the imperial court to give Li Dan the first rank of martial arts.

If he has a title, then Li Dan can not only be exempted from taxes and servitude, but also can see officials without kneeling, and has the right to organize and command regimental exercises (militia groups) to fight when there is something in the local area, just like Zhao Laosan's father of General Zhaowu.

Li Dan was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked him, and put a fifty taels of tickets in Mr. Qian's hand as "happy money", asking him to help with good words. Knowing that the branch secretary was not there, Li Dan left a "generous gift" and asked Mr. Qian to transfer it on his behalf.

Coming out of the house of Mr. Sen,

Jiao Conghu sent him outside the yamen, and then whispered that Lord Zhao Chongbi had asked him to meet him in the evening.

"It's past noon, and Erlang asks if you want to go to him for some tea and rice first?" Jiao Baihu asked, and added, "Aji has already come back from school, and he will also go over there to wait for the driver."

Li Dan looked at the sun, nodded and said that since it was still early, it was better to go to Wu Erlang's house to talk. "I don't know what time to talk about with Lord Zhao tonight, if it's too late, I will disturb Erlang for a night." Li Dan said.

Jiao Conghu was happy, he didn't think Li Dan was too reckless, but thought that this was an opportunity, and hurriedly said:

"Erlang is inconvenient, he is not married yet, and he only has a personal maidservant with him. Why don't you stay with me tonight? My house is a spacious place, so I asked the Hun family to prepare the guest rooms without mishap."

Li Dan also liked Jiao Conghu's straightforward temperament, so he hugged his fists and said, "In this case, Dan will arrange with his brother." Jiao Conghu was overjoyed, so he led him to the forage of my filial piety.

When Li Dan entered the door, he knew what Jiao Conghu meant when he said that it was inconvenient here, it turned out that Wu Xiao changed the gate and the side of the alley into shops and warehouses, and he only left a large and a small room outside the living room to live.

Jiao Conghu hurriedly returned to the yamen after sending the people, and the brothers Wuxiao and Wuji enthusiastically pulled him into the table. Especially Wuji, after experiencing the smoke of the battlefield, he naturally felt more close to Li Dan, and asked about the recent situation of the leaders he was familiar with.

He has been working under Master Ba and Chen Sanwen, so he specially prepared some gifts for them, and after the meal, Wu Xiao invited Li Dan to take a rest in his bedroom.

In the past few days, I haven't scrubbed well in the mountains, how can Li Dan be embarrassed to lie on someone's bed? He blushed and asked them where they were in the hall, and said that he would meet with the Governor of the Mansion tonight.

Wu Xiao suddenly realized, because his house was too cramped, so he asked Wu Ji to lead Li Dan to the mixed hall to take a bath, and ordered the maid to find a few clean clothes for Li Dan to bring and change.

Li Dan washed for two quarters of an hour before coming out, feeling refreshed, leaving a few broken silver horns for Xiao Er, and ordering him to wash and iron the changed clothes and send them to Wu Erlang's shop, and then went to the tea shop with Wu Ji to eat tea.

Unexpectedly, Dr. Nacha was telling everyone the story of Li Sanlang's spell and trapping the thief, Wuji laughed, Li Dan's face was full of embarrassment, and Dr. Nacha was very unhappy for some reason.

Li Dan had no choice but to confess, dragged Wuji to escape, ran to the street and said to Wuji, who was smiling and bending over, "Why did this word spread so quickly that I was like a demon."

"Li Sanlang, have you ever cast a spell?"

"What kind of law is given? But it's a ditch dug beforehand!" Li Dan couldn't cry or laugh: "After the battle, haven't you also gone to see it?"

"But the people like to hear it, they are willing to have a strong and powerful Li Sanlang with boundless magic to lead a large army to protect the territory and the people!"

"What a joke!" Li Dan shook his hand, pointed to his nose and said, "When the thieves are calmed down, when I go back, I will study with peace of mind and prepare for the next township exam." If it is spread out and he becomes a demon, there is no need to count on the Jinshi with this reputation!"

changed to a tea shop, and when I heard what Dr. Tea said, it was Li Dan who beat his arms and arms. Wuji couldn't do it, so he had to take him to the Four Seas Residence to sit down first. Li Dan sighed and said:

"I just learned today how annoying it is to be a public figure!" After saying that, he called for wine. The guy served a pot of wine and four side dishes, but Wu Ji didn't understand what a "public figure" only cared about the wine, so he said casually:

"This wine is not as good as yours, my brother barely drank two glasses, and it can be regarded as a little bit of a little brother's heart."

Who knew that the speaker had no intention of listening to the listener, and the man was a little unhappy: "This little guest officer, what I brought you is the best local 'immortal brew, absolutely not mixed with water, no ambiguity!'"

Wuji was stunned: "It's irrelevant, it's irrelevant, I'm just advising you to drink, and I don't mean to blame you."

"There is also a saying about persuading alcohol, but if you take the wine in our store and say that it is not as good as this or that, it is not appropriate." The guy crookedly refused to give up.

Wuji was a little disgusted that he was more serious, he had a long temper during this time in the army, and he was annoyed to speak, but he was stopped by Li Dan, and reached out to untie a gourd from his waist and handed it over:

"Don't say much, man, tell your shopkeeper to pour out a cup and look and taste, and he will come to me." The guy took the letter suspiciously, opened the stopper, sniffed it, looked at Li Dan again, turned around and ran away.

After a while, I heard the sound of the stairs "popping", and a thin middle-aged man appeared at the door with a wine jar in his arms, and asked, "Excuse me, who is that wine gourd just now?"

"It's mine." Li Dan said.

The thin man looked up and down, and asked suspiciously, "This little brother is not a local, dare to ask who you got that kind of wine from?"

I heard that this wine is calloused in my ears, but I have never seen it with my own eyes, if the little brother can tell where to buy it, this altar I have hidden for eight years in Ganzhou's daughter red will be given to you today! How?"

"Yo, eight years, that's precious, isn't it?" Wuji doesn't know how to drink, but looking at his solemn appearance, I guess he probably has a lot of money.

Li Dan beckoned the guy behind him to come in, took the gourd from his hand, poured out a cup with a smile, and compared it with his hand: "You seem to be quite sincere, if what you say is true, please drink this cup first, let's sit down and talk."

The man hesitated, put his daughter red on the table, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all.

"Good! Man, move a stool! May I ask Brother Taifu?" Li Dan invited him to sit down opposite Wuji.

"Don't dare to be, under Wang Jinsheng, the word follows the words, he is the younger brother of Wang Jintang, the shopkeeper of the store." The thin man clenched his fists and replied, "Because my brother is accustomed to going out by day and night, he is in charge of the counter during the next day.

The guy brought this wine, but he couldn't get it because he had liked it for a long time, so he came to ask." After that, he asked, "This wine should not have been purchased locally, right?"

"It turned out to be the second shopkeeper, disrespectful!" Li Dan and Wu Ji hurriedly returned the salute. "I just made a joke with this guy brother, I don't want to alarm Brother Congyan, forgive my sins!" Li Dan smiled and hung the other party's appetite.

"Well, that's all the little things. Please tell me where the little brother got it from!"

didn't want this Wang Congyan to be an impatient, so Li Dan stopped surrounding him: "Brother, do you know what this wine is called?"

"It's not that strong, it's just in the mouth, and it's cool and crisp, with a sweet aftertaste. I've tasted 'Fengquan', but it's not Fengquan, and I've heard that this wine was made by the same person, and it's called 'Yuqingliu.' Am I right?"

"Hey, you actually know Yu Qingliu?" Li Dan was surprised: "This wine is very rare in the market!"

"Hehe, it's not a secret, when I was young, I went north to the Shaolin Temple and learned drunken boxing and drunken sticks, and I was a drunken mouse. No matter what kind of wine, you can remember it once you smell it." Wang Jinsheng patted the back of his head embarrassedly:

"I was invited to a banquet more than ten days ago, and the host's family knew that I had good wine, so I let me taste half a cup, so I remembered it.

It's a pity that after that, I inquired and searched everywhere, and no one could tell where the wine came from, and even the seller couldn't see the end of the line, so I was confused. Alas!"

Li Dan nodded: "Actually, this wine is not so mysterious."

"Oh? Does the little brother know where it comes from?" Wang Jinsheng was overjoyed.

"It's just ......, if I help you, how can your two brothers thank me? What do I get?"

Wang Jinsheng was stunned, he didn't expect this young man who looked very ordinary in clothes to say such a thing. Looking closely, he felt that there was an indescribable heroism and majesty between the other party's eyebrows. Who is this man?

He was suddenly a little unsure, but no matter what, the age of this young man was also here. Wang Jinsheng pondered for a moment and made up his mind: "Even if you give the little brother a hundred taels of thanks, you will not hesitate to do it!"

"One hundred taels? I don't want it!"

"Huh? ...... that?"

Li Dan pointed with his finger: "I want you to have 30% of the shares of the four seas, as well as the right to use the trade name when you opened the branch."

"It's ......." Wang Jinsheng stood up suddenly, and arched his hand angrily: "I shouldn't have talked about business with Huangkou Xiao'er, I'm really asking for my own hardship, say goodbye!"

"Wait, why are you leaving?" Li Dan stopped him and asked.

"This matter is said that I can't be the master, and even if I can, I won't trade stocks and trade sizes. Let's talk ......."

"Besides, I'm still a yellow-mouthed kid at home, right?" Li Dan stopped Wu Ji, who was about to speak, and said, "You just go, don't you want Yu Qingliu's sales rights in Wannian, and don't you want Fengyu and Fengquan?" Look at the book

"You're ......!"
