Chapter 485: A Thousand Cranes Sell Horses, the Ultimate Great Injustice!
The old man burst into two foul words, and his attitude was not good, but Xu Fenglei was not angry at all.
He knows that this is the truest side of the people at the bottom.
This is the vulgarity that the high-ranking officials hate, but only in these vulgar words can the most sincere voices of the people at the bottom be heard.
"Uncle, give me face."
Xu Fenglei squatted aside, shook the gourd in his hand, and scolded with a smile,
"You drank my water! Don't you dare to eat white food! β
When the old farmer heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes.
"Drinking your two sips of water is also called eating white food? You have to give me a bowl of noodles at the very least! β
He exclaimed,
"Well, you ask if you're happy or not? Not happy! Sorrow is very good! β
Xu Fenglei came to his senses and took out a small notebook from his arms.
"You say, you say." He held the pen in his hand and said with a straight face.
"You see, I work in the fields every day without a drop of rest for a year, but in winter, I still can't eat!"
The old man opened the conversation box and poured bitter water,
"Also, every year when you plant the land, you have to fight in order to grab some water! Small drops are grabbed by individuals and individuals, big drops are robbed by villages and villages, Ge Lao Zidi, we haven't robbed this year...... Water is precious! β
"Nowadays, the tax is high, and the tax has to be collected according to the capitation, and several newborn dolls in the family have to pay taxes! The price of rice is not cheap, guy, you talk about it, you talk about it, we are facing the loess with our backs to the sky, and every day Tudi is a sprinkle! is still happy, as long as we are still farmers, there is no such thing as happiness, farmers are the most bitter! β
"The family doesn't stop either, alas!"
As he spoke, he finally sighed heavily, picked up Xu Fenglei's gourd, and poured another sip of water, and the depression in his heart dissipated a little.
Boom.
Xu Fenglei quickly recorded and recorded the core issues in the old man's words.
Water sources - the problem of water grabbing in rural areas and the problem of repairing canals.
Taxes - Taxes are levied on a per capita basis, and ordinary people are overwhelmed.
The price of rice is high......
β¦β¦
"Guy, it's useless for you to write it down."
The old man glanced at Xu Fenglei's crooked words, and laughed,
"Your word is like a dog's planing, it's better to pinch it than the gentleman in our village."
"Do your studies well! Don't be like it, be a farmer and endure hardships all your life. β
He couldn't say anything to persuade him to learn, so he could only use himself as a negative teaching material.
"Uncle, although my word is ugly, it is worth a lot."
Xu Fenglei snapped and put away the book, and said with a smile,
"Your old appeal, maybe you have to rely on these words I recorded to solve it!"
The old man pursed his lips.
"You little doll, it's so beautiful to want to drip it......"
He waved his hand and said,
"Actually, as long as you don't fight, it's good to be tired, and you can survive...... Turning back 20 years, that's really not a human life! β
Xu Fenglei nodded.
In war, the people at the bottom are always injured the most.
One thought above, the following has to go forward; One mistake on the part of the general would have killed the soldiers.
This is not a strong man, but thousands of families......
Just as he was about to speak, a horse galloped in the distance.
"Sir."
A woman in red turned over and dismounted, and whispered two words in Xu Fenglei's ear.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? β
Xu Fenglei showed surprise, and then smiled,
"Then I'm going to have to join in the fun, in East City, right? Okay, you go back! β
"Yes." The woman in red bowed, turned on her horse again, and galloped away.
"Oh, this girl doll is so handsome!"
The old man squeezed his eyes and praised,
"More watery than the most watery girl in our village! Guy, this is your aunt? β
"What a blessing!"
Xu Fenglei shook his head and smiled.
"I don't have a wife, it's just a maid in my house."
He said.
The old man was stunned.
"This good-looking girl is just a maid?"
He exclaimed,
"Then you have to be a big boy!"
Xu Fenglei grinned.
"Childe can't be called, and I'm not too young."
He stood up, patted the dust on his body, took out a piece of silver from his bosom, pressed it under the gourd, and arched his hand,
"Thank you! Chat and fart with me, and this gourd will be given to you! β
"Farewell!"
"Next time, please eat noodles all the time!"
With that, Xu Fenglei had already turned around and jumped on the horse and raised his whip.
"Let's talk about it, thank you, the prince is polite, and he still eats noodles and pinched ......"
The old man also grinned, but this tooth was missing several times, and it was easy to leak when he laughed.
He took a short rest, picked up the gourd again, and was about to drink saliva, but found that there was a silver shining thing at the bottom of the gourd.
"This ......"
"Good ......"
The old man's eyes widened and his mouth grew.
β¦β¦
Chang'an City, East City.
A crimson steed held its head high, looking left and right, looking unusually wonderful.
People come and go, and many people are attracted by it, but after stopping to ask about the price, almost all of them have the same reaction:
"A thousand taels of gold? Why don't you grab it! β
"Don't say a thousand taels of gold, I don't want a thousand taels of silver! What do you think this is? β
"Special mother, is your horse skin made of gold or horse meat made of gold? Asking for a price! β
The angry eruption of the pedestrians on the opposite side, the dog who was already concerned about face couldn't sit still for three days!
"This is a bloody BMW from the Western Regions! You're too expensive, I'm too expensive! Don't buy it, don't touch it! β
He said angrily,
"You've touched all the hair, how can you tell me to sell it?"
When the pedestrian heard this, he didn't listen to him, and took two more handfuls, then snorted contemptuously and turned away.
This guy is angry for three days! If it weren't for the fact that this was Chang'an, with Jin Wuwei patrolling, he would have wanted to roll up his sleeves and beat that kid!
Xu Fenglei couldn't help but be happy when he saw this scene not far away.
This little devil has made the mission so down, and he has to rely on selling horses to maintain his expenses?
"Drive."
He took a string of sugar gourds, threw down a piece of broken silver, and then stepped forward and stopped in front of the dog Sanri.
"Yo, isn't this a dog?"
Xu Fenglei took a bite of the sugar gourd and said with a smile,
"As an envoy of Dongying, how do you do business?"
"That's not very decent."
"What about you Chizuru Princess? I met by chance, so I asked her to come out and talk for a few words, we are also old acquaintances. β
He looked behind him, and there was a carriage parked behind him, and he guessed that it was Chizuru of Haomiya.
The dog Sanri's face twitched, and he was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to offend Xu Fenglei, so he had to give up:
"I've seen Xu Gong."
"It's not what we want to sell the horse, we really have to go back to Dongying, it's inconvenient to take this horse, so we have to sell it on the spot."
"As for Her Royal Highness the Princess, it is inconvenient to take a break in the carriage and meet."
Xu Fenglei sighed.
"It's strange, I ran to my door in the middle of the night yesterday and refused to leave, saying that I wanted to see me in the middle of the night, but now I pretended to be reserved."
He sneered,
"Little girl, there are two faces!"
"Fun, really funny! Hahahaha......"
Whoa!
In the rear compartment, there was a surge.
A figure stepped down from the carriage, and those eyes glared at Xu Fenglei angrily.
"Ah, it's Princess Chizuru!"
Xu Fenglei arched his hand and smiled,
"If you lose your words, you will be guilty!"
"Don't go to your heart."
Chizuru Haogong bit her silver teeth, and she wanted to step forward and bite this hateful man to death, but in the end, she still endured it.
"It was me last night...... Drunk, drunk. β
She reluctantly arched her hand and explained,
"I'm bothering Gong Xu."
Xu Fenglei waved his hand.
"You don't have to explain it to me, I don't care."
He said casually,
"All your actions have nothing to do with me."
"However, I heard that you are going to give me a BMW, is this one?"
Smack!
His hand slapped twice on the sweaty BMW, and he looked at Chizuru Haogong with a smile.
Chizuru Konomiya: "......"
She didn't know how to answer this question for a while.
"Hey, okay, okay, I know you have a problem, even if you want to give it to me, I can't afford such a valuable gift."
Xu Fenglei sighed and said,
"I still like this sweaty horse, let's make a price!"
"If it's suitable, I'll pay for it, and it can be regarded as a solution to your urgent needs, after all, it's also a dignified mission, so you can't even have enough money to go home, right?"
The dog's expression moved, revealing a little suspicious.
Haogong Chizuru also showed suspicion.
This Xu Fenglei, when did he be so kind and come to them to be merciful?
"I'm not selling horses for profit, I'm just willing to sell them at the original price."
The dog is on the three-day arch road,
"When I bought it, I spent 1,000 taels of gold, so now, I still sell it for 1,000 taels and don't make a cent."
"What about Gong Xu?"
When Xu Fenglei heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
"Ha, hahahaha......"
"What does Xu Gong mean by this?" The dog's face sank.
This laughter was no different from a few pedestrians passing by just now asking for a price, and it all had a bit of a mocking flavor.
"Dog, dog, you let the dog go on your head?"
Xu Fenglei restrained his smile and said unceremoniously,
"This sweaty horse is not worth the price!"
"For a thousand taels, you are selling, and you can't sell it for three years, believe it or not?!"
"But I bought it for 1,000 taels...... "Inou Shang was in a hurry for three days, and was about to argue, but was interrupted by Xu Fenglei.
"That's who you are willing to blame?!"
Xu Fenglei snorted lightly,
"You have been wronged, and you still want to find the next wronged boss to take over at the original price? How can there be such a good thing in the world? β
"I have good intentions and want to help you tide over the difficulties, but you actually treat me as a great wronged seed? Do you think I'm like a fool? β
Inuage's face stiffened.
Haogong Chizuru is not even more in his heart...... The main messenger of all this is her.
She is the biggest wrongdoer in Xu Fenglei's mouth!
"Then please Xu Gong...... Let's get the price right. β
Chizuru Konomiya took a deep breath and arched his hand,
"You say the number, it's appropriate, and we'll sell you."
There were too many setbacks in Datang, and she didn't want to do any more entanglement, she just wanted to return to Dongying as soon as possible with those carts of books.
Xu Fenglei touched the sweaty horse's head and chuckled:
"We're really fated to be there...... Yes, I also don't have a good horse. β
"I'll tell you the numberβfour hundred taels of gold! What do you think? I'll be able to cash in no time! β
Inugami Sanji's eyes glared.
Haomiya Chizuru's pretty face darkened.
"Gong Xu, aren't you making fun of us?"
She glared at Xu Fenglei and said sharply,
"This horse is worthless, but five or six hundred taels of gold is still worth it! In previous years, the lowest transaction price of sweaty BMW was not lower than 500 taels! β
"You give four hundred taels! Isn't that outrageous? β
Facing the small universe that Haogong Qianhe was about to explode, Xu Fenglei just nodded thoughtfully.
"Oh, that's right."
He touched his chin and said,
"Then add one hundred taels, five hundred taels!"
"Although this sweat and blood horse is good, it is not easy to find a buyer, after all, people who can take out five hundred taels of gold in one breath, even in Chang'an, it is rare."
"You're lucky, I'm one."
"What, sell?"
It's hard.
Chizuru Konomiya's fist is hard!
I've seen a bully, but I've never seen such a bully!
I borrowed 1,000 taels from your bank to buy a horse, and I have a debt of 1,400 taels of gold, and now I want to sell you 500 taels of gold.
came and went, nothing was gained, and nine hundred taels of gold were lost in vain!
It doesn't pay for the death of the pit!
She didn't want to say anything more to Xu Fenglei, and turned around to leave, but she heard the other party say another sentence slowly.
"Or maybe I have a plan."
Xu Fenglei smiled and groaned,
"Princess Qianhe will give me this horse, and I will also give you a treasure of equal value, plus fifty taels of gold for you to be entangled on the road."
"You know, our Datang pays attention to courtesy, and if we have given each other gifts a few times, even if we have concluded a friendship, we can be regarded as friends."
"How about it, Princess Chizuru would like to be my friend to someone Xu?"
Chizuru Konomiya: "......"
When you're a friend?
Killed by you?
Although he scolded secretly in his heart, his face was still tight.
"Equivalent baby, what's it?"
Haogong Chizuru asked coldly,
"Can you still give me a bronze cong used by Qin Shi Huang?"
Now looking at Xu Fenglei's face, she is a little suspicious that the bronze cong is a fake!
"How's that going to work!"
Xu Fenglei pretended to be serious,
"That bronze cong is a unique treasure, if you didn't give me the "Funeral Post", I have no other treasures at hand, it is impossible to cut love!"
"I'm Xu, but I'm a particular person!"
Haogong Chizuru was slightly stunned, seeing that he was so serious, his heart was also a little calmer.
Perhaps, the bronze cong should be real.
At that time, Xu Fenglei was not so pitiful.
"Chizuru lost her words."
Haogong Qianhe bowed slightly, and said,
"Then dare to ask Duke Xu, what kind of gift is it given?"
"It's not that Chizuru is sophisticated, but I really can't afford to lose."
Xu Fenglei grinned.
"Understood, understood."
He said,
"Please come with me to the house to have a look, after reading it, you will know whether it is worth changing."
With that, he turned and got on his horse.
Inugami Sanri and Konomiya Chizuru glanced at each other.
"Princess Chizuru, this person is by no means good."
Inujo Sanri shook his head and said,
"I think we're still ......"
Chizuru Konomiya smiled bitterly.
"Do you think I still need to deal with Datang?"
She asked.
Inujo was stunned for three days and blurted out: "That's nature!" Although we have bought so many books, we have not yet appreciated the essence of Datang! β
"When the subordinates go back, they will play Your Majesty, and they will send more Tang envoys to learn from the Tang Dynasty!"
Haogong Chizuru nodded and pointed to Xu Fenglei's back.
"If you want to do this, this person is a hurdle that can't be bypassed."
She sighed, "...... Let's go, keep up. β
