Chapter 177: Master

The fourth day of the world.

There was a faint smell of alcohol in the air, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

The big belly of the world, saying that it is to take out wine and meat to reward the people of the whole territory, eat and drink enough, but if you really want everyone to let go of eating and drinking, no one can stand it.

The real situation can only be similar to soup porridge, plus a five-day tax exemption for liquor stores.

That's pretty good.

Only the grain merchants were unlucky, and when they encountered such a situation, the price of grain fell further, reaching 11 wen per catty.

Counting the cost of the return trip, the loss is so much that it is already losing money, and it is estimated that I am scolding my mother in my heart.

In the past two days, talking with the old monk, a former courtier, Liang Qu found that the new county government team was more powerful than he imagined, and finally understood the original intention of measuring the fields.

Generally, the price control method commonly used by the county government is flat and flat.

The former focuses on the reserve of important materials such as grain, while the latter establishes a benchmark for market prices.

Prices fell too sharply, and the local county government purchased and reserved at high prices; Prices rose too violently, and the local county government sold the reserves at a low price.

One swallow and one spit can effectively control prices within a certain range.

If, according to the usual rules, grain prices rise, the county government should open warehouses to release grain or sell grain at a low price to stabilize prices.

Pingyang County Ya did the opposite, not only did not take out the grain to level it, but even encouraged merchants to raise the price to more than 20 wen, raising the entire market price!

It is more difficult to lower the price of the rice shop than to kill him, and it is not possible to raise the price easily, and the government will not allow it.

Now that they can legally raise the price, they can't wait for a tael of silver and a pound of rice.

Rice is just needed, no one can lack it, there is no small profit but quick turnover, high prices are difficult to sell, the higher it rises, the more you earn.

However, he never thought that the price hike was just a bait, and the high price was used to attract grain merchants to transport grain from other places to Pingyang County.

Previously, the measurement of the fields was not for redistribution, let alone for the revision of taxes, but only to add credibility after raising the price of grain!

This move tells everyone that yes, Pingyang County has explored the population and land, and it is such a lack of food, that is, it has risen to 20 wen a catty!

There are high-ranking people in the county government.

……

Early May.

The weather is getting hotter, the water level in the Jianghuai Zeye has risen a lot, and the fishermen rarely go home, sweating and fishing nets.

Summer fish live, autumn fish fat.

The fish in summer are not as fat as in autumn, but they are active enough to often go to the shallow water to feed.

In autumn, fish should be fattened and stored for winter, and fishermen do the same to save money for the winter.

Fishing was stressful at that time, and summer was the most productive season for fishermen.

With a small amount of money in hand, you won't have to worry about winter, and you won't be caught by the wind and cold when you go down to the water, so you don't have to worry about getting sick, and you can often see fishermen in the wine shop.

【Mizusawa Essence +0.2】

Liang Qupan sits on the shell of the old clams, and carries the qi and blood of the whole body according to the qi diagram in the "Descending the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger Diamond Sutra".

He overestimated himself, the golden body was more difficult to condense than he imagined, and in more than half a month, the progress was less than one-fifth.

I have to practice for several months, and if I change to someone else, I won't be able to do it for two or three years, right?

However, the progress of the intestines is gratifying, only the cockscomb fruit every day, the contribution of the spirit meat and the old clams has more than 100 points of water essence, and the progress has risen steadily every day.

More than 8,000 Mizusawa essences have not been touched, and the replenishment of qi and blood is still endless, and it has been carried out to a third of the time.

Before the arrival of June, Liang Qu will definitely be able to break through the Fu Pass, condense the trick pass, achieve the galloping horse, and become the person with the highest cultivation in the entire Yixing Town.

It is possible for ordinary people to stumble for more than ten years, and with such a cultivation speed, the whole Dashun is in the forefront.

"Today, I'm going to go first, remember to take care of the lotus root, don't let the fish eat it."

"Zhixi."

Liang Qu relieved the fatigue of his whole body, patted the clams shell, and surfaced along the water waves.

The old clam adjusted his position and put on a more comfortable position to bask in the sun.

Liang Qu took out the compass with his bare chest and turned a corner to go to Pingyang County.

Blacktooth's three wives all gave birth to cubs yesterday, a total of six.

That's right, the three female dogs only gave birth to six cubs, all of them were two cubs, not more.

Black Tooth already has the characteristics of a semi-spirit, not to mention being smart, it can fight with tigers and leopards by force, and it is much more difficult to breed than ordinary dogs.

Liang Qu did not forget the idea of raising a dog in the yard, and he chose a black dog with the largest skeleton and the thickest claws among the six cubs.

There is no way, the influence of black teeth is too great, all cubs are black hair, or they are spots, so simply choose a pure black one.

On weekdays, when giving birth to puppies, Yang Dongxiong mostly gave them away or let others take them away, or then kept them in the yard.

If the disciple needs it, it is naturally up to the disciple to pick it first, and several senior brothers in Liangqu have to go through it several times.

After Liang Qu finished cultivating every day, he had to take a detour to take a look, leaving some smell, so that the cubs could remember him, and he only waited for the forty days of cub period to be caught back.

By the way, I brought some spirit bones over, some of them were ground into powder and fed to the cubs to speed up their growth, and the other part was fed to Blacktooth and his wife, which was unexpectedly welcomed by Blacktooth.

The bones of the water beast, which it eats less on weekdays, are very fresh.

In the garden.

Liang Qu broke off a piece of water animal bone, held it in the palm of his hand and kneaded it into powder, mixed it in cow's milk, and fed it to the cubs to swallow.

I did it once yesterday, and today the cub no longer has much resistance, smelling the smell and lying on the mouth of the bowl to lick it, and a mouth is covered with milk.

Yang Dongxiong shook his head: "According to your feeding method, this cub will grow up to be more powerful than Black Tooth." ”

Liang Qu smiled: "That's not right." ”

"Is there a reward for the riverhouse?"

"Listening to Brother Xu's meaning, I will be able to arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and the two great achievements are certain, but I don't know if I can be promoted to Hebo, who is the eighth grade."

"Fishing for water, anecdotes, still holding the handle of life and death; Playing chess, playing clearly, and moving the heart of war.

The two factions in the river berth are divided and ruled, and they are still peaceful, but I see that the mansion of the river berth is about to be built, and when the time comes, it will not be as easy as it is now.

You have won the Great Lord, and you are a young Zhengbapin, you will be jealous of the villain, pay attention to yourself.

By the way, last time I heard that someone in the river berth wanted to take refuge in you, I can't control this kind of thing, but I have to know who should and who should not be handed over. ”

I almost forgot that Yang Dongxiong was the head of the river, although he was an idle job, but he was not ignorant of the situation.

Liangqu's river officials have hand-picked elements.

Normally speaking, if a military attache can reach the eighth rank, he basically has to be a galloping horse martial artist.

Low strength and high position, easy to cause accidents.

"Master doesn't have to worry, the disciple knows right from wrong."

"Well, I picked the green plum yesterday, and in the next ten days, remember to come and drink the green plum wine."

Yang Dongxiong left a sentence and walked out of the garden with his back hand.

"Do you hear that, come and drink plum wine in ten days."

Liang Qu nodded the dog's head, the puppy couldn't open his eyes, and barked twice.

Sleeping when you are full is the most pleasant thing, and it is also the instinct of the cubs, Liang Qu put the sleeping cubs back in the nest and took a boat home.

At the gate, Chen Tongmin, who was sitting on the steps, saw Liang Qu get up suddenly.

"Lord Liang!"

"Brother Chen? How do you sit at the door and wait, go in and have a cup of tea? ”

"Some small things, don't bother." Chen Tongmin took out a few pieces of paper, "The river god festival on June 6 this year is the same as last time, it is still Lord Liang who is the main sacrifice, this is the sacrifice text, the general process is familiar to you, and there is no change." ”

"Thank you." Liang Qu took the sacrificial text and read it through, basically the same as last time, looking at it, he suddenly said, "Tongmin, do you think this sacrificial text can be changed." ”

"Ah, change? Why change? ”

Chen Tongmin was puzzled.

It's a big difference every year, and I don't know what the difference is this time.

"It's just a trivial matter, you see, can you change the object of this sacrifice to the Jianghuai River?"

"Why is that?"

"Since the god of the Jianghuai River is the incarnation of the Jianghuai River, isn't it the same for us to worship the Jianghuai River directly? It's just that the content of the festival has been slightly changed. ”

Chen Tongmin was a little around: "It seems to be so." ”

Since the Jianghuai River God is the incarnation of the Jianghuai River, there seems to be no difference between sacrificing the Jianghuai River and sacrificing the Jianghuai River God.

"Then help me ask Elder Chen, I'm sorry for you."

Liang Qu returned the memorial text.
