Only Guo An and Guo Erniu hid in the corner, just bowing their heads to drink tea and eat snacks, looking like they didn't like to talk to people, so that the people around them subconsciously stayed away from them.

Of course, there is also the reason for the good silk clothes on Guo An's body.

The nobles are not born in the same circle as the poor!

But the words of these tea guests can still reach Guo An's ears.

"Can this old man still eat meat at home?"

"That's not it, a few days ago, half a catty of good pig meat, the fat can pinch out the oil and water."

"Hiss......"

"Gollum ......"

There is no need to look, just listening to this voice, Guo An can imagine how envious the expressions on the faces of the few listeners around him are.

"My brother is amazing, I can still buy good pig meat in this year, dare to ask where to buy meat? How much silver was spent? ”

"Yes, I've been waiting at home for three months, and I haven't seen the meat foam......

"Half a catty of good pork, forty wen, or the old man has something to do with that shop, so he can buy this half catty of pork!"

"Alas, there are really fewer and fewer butcher shops on the market now?"

"Yes, I heard that His Royal Highness King Yan bought the entire Beiping Mansion, and even the chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep in the surrounding Shanxi and Shandong, and even those chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep were not left!"

"I heard that in this matter, that little county venerable is also involved!"

"Don't talk nonsense, how could Xiao Xianzun do such a thing?"

"That is, we have never met such a small county lord who is sympathetic to the people, and often goes down to the various Jiali. Moreover, Xiao Xianzun can also sit directly on the dusty ground and chat with the village elders for half a day, how many people in our village, how many prime of life, children, women, how many fields, cattle, and farm tools there are...... You can even ask what you eat every day......"

"Hmph, the old man didn't say that the little county is not. It's just that the old man is related to a certain official, and I heard that the barbecue shop on Haizi Wharf still has a small county honor. ”

"What?"

"You talk nonsense......"

"You want to be beaten?"

"Okay, it's the old man's nonsense."

"That is, the small county is a dignified county honor, how respectful is the identity, in order to help me and other tens of thousands of people in Wanping County borrow food, voluntarily let me wait for tens of thousands of people to scold for two months, and now who in your family has no grain in stock?"

"Yes, Xiao Xianzun is the best county Zun I have ever met!"

"As for the barbecue shop that this guy said, I remember that although the barbecue shop is selling all kinds of meat and alcohol, the price is extremely high, and His Royal Highness King Yan is still encouraging those rich merchants in the south to exchange for grain?

During this period of time, how much more grain did the rich merchants from the south carry, and you all know it? ”

"That's it, what kind of day did I have before I waited, I ate the last meal and didn't have the next meal, can you forget it?"

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, it's just small talk. The old man has a doubt, I don't know if you have thought about it? ”

"Oh? Boss, please speak? ”

"It stands to reason that although the number of chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep collected by His Royal Highness King Yan's farm is large, it has not taken away all my Beiping Mansion, Shanxi, Shandong and other places, why do these chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep on the market seem to be extinct?"

“…… Could it be that there are profiteers who make trouble out of it......"

"After thinking about it carefully, you will know about it."

"Those hateful profiteers, you really should ask Your Majesty to kill these profiteers again!"

“……”

Guo An and Guo Erniu, with their backs to the diners, looked inexplicable, sitting in the corner until the rain stopped outside.

Wait until the diners in the teahouse are almost gone, and then slowly go out and walk towards the county office.

After a heavy rain, the entire streets of Wanping County were scrubbed and cleaned.

However, in some places, there are still potholes, full of black and dirty water.

Especially the ditches on both sides of the street, a pungent stench, made Guo An feel dizzy.

Therefore, Guo An walked very fast along the way.

Guo Erniu, who was following behind, thought that Guo An was in an unhappy mood, so he hurriedly caught up and persuaded in a low voice: "Young master, those people in the teahouse are actually just talking, don't take it to heart."

In fact, for these people, as long as there is enough food to eat at home, they are satisfied. ”

"I know!"

"Then you go slower."

"I'm hungry......"

……

A heavy rain not only made the streets of Wanping County difficult to walk, but also the dirt roads in the countryside outside Wanping County were even more muddy, and the carriage could not be walked for two days.

So, even if he was anxious, Zhu Di could only wait at home honestly for two days.

On the third day, Zhu Di hurried to Wanping County again, dragged Guo An directly into the carriage, and went to Shangzhuang Iron Metallurgy.

"The villain sees His Royal Highness King Yan and has seen all the officials!"

Zhong Huo stepped forward to greet him with a courteous face.

"Where's that concrete wall?"

Zhu Di asked directly.

"Your Highness, please ...... here."

It was still the same place with all kinds of walls, but everyone was staring at the neat cement stone wall at the very edge.

Although the gray is abrupt, the surface is very smooth and clean.

From a distance, it looks like a boulder that has been neatly cut.

"Is this cement wall really as strong as you say?"

Zhu Di knocked it with his hand, and then looked at Guo An with some confusion.

Guo An turned his head directly and said to the old craftsman on the side: "Blacksmith head, go and get a sledgehammer for His Highness!" ”

"Yes, county honor!"

The blacksmith head replied respectfully, and walked briskly to the side.

Zhu Di was a little puzzled: "What does this king want to do with a sledgehammer?" ”

Guo An smiled and said, "Your Highness uses a sledgehammer to test the solidity of the cement wall!" ”

Li Wang, who was on the side, said confidently: "How can this kind of rough work bother Your Highness, such a thin wall, I can kick it down with one kick." ”

Guo An, Zhong Huo and others suddenly looked weird.

"General Li, don't worry, the cement and stone wall this time has more materials than the last time, and it is much stronger."

"Guo Xianzun, don't worry, even if this wall is made of stone, I can directly kick it down and break it into several petals!"

Li Wang still looked confident and did not listen to persuasion at all.

Zhu Di had already given way to his position, Li Wang arched his hand towards Zhu Di, and then went directly to his feet, and his movements were exactly the same as Zhu Liang's movements last time.

"Knock ......"

After a muffled sound, the cement wall did not move.

Guo An turned his head to look at Zhu Liang on the side, and said in a low voice: "You didn't tell Li Baihu that the cement and stone walls are strong?" ”

"Sue."

Zhu Liang pursed his lips, a little helpless: "As a result, this guy actually laughed at my lack of strength." ”

Guo An laughed, and then said loudly: "It seems that Li Baihu is indeed brave, and he can definitely kick down the cement and stone wall." ”

Guo An didn't forget that day in the main hall of Yanwang Palace, Li Wang's stinky cloth stuffed into his mouth.
