Lu Yuan waited for more than ten seconds before answering Gu Gaoxu's phone.

Lu Yuan listened to a noisy voice on the other end of the phone.

Lu Yuan was still thinking, where is this Gu Gaoxu, the signal is so bad.

Gu Gaoxu couldn't hear what Lu Yuan was saying, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Hey, Brother Lu, what are you talking about, I can't really hear it!" ”

Lu Yuan put the phone close to his mouth and raised his voice: "I said!" You! What's the matter? ”

"Oops! Don't mention it, I'm sprinting right now! ”

Lu Yuan could hear Gu Gaoxu's panting.

Gu Gaoxu continued: "As soon as I returned to Yandu, my old man took me to the northern battlefield, and now he is serving the lair of the northern orc clan." ”

So it was, Gu Gaoxu said goodbye in a hurry, and slipped away without seeing him.

"Brother Lu, this is thanks to your mortar, guess what, my old man seconded Song Chi, the general soldier of Qilu."

Song Meiqin's younger brother Song Chi was originally the deputy chief soldier of Qilu, and was promoted to the chief soldier because of his meritorious service in suppressing bandits, and now he is more advanced because of the guns in his hands.

He was seconded to the command of the vicious Yan Wang, and all the muskets and mortars under Song Chi were requisitioned.

Gu Di, the king of Yan, had previously stated to Emperor Taizu that he was seconded on the grounds that Song Chi, the general of Qilu, was good at operational command.

If Song Chi is incorporated into his command, he will ensure that the northern orc clan will be wiped out within three months.

Emperor Taizu, anxious to unify the northern regions of the empire, naturally agreed to the matter.

King Yan had already gotten some firearms from Lu Yuan's side through the relationship between Gu Gaoxu and Lu Yuan.

In Yandu, in the factory built by Gu Gaoxu, a certain workshop would produce a small number of flintlock pistols every month to equip the Yanwang troops.

In addition, the firearms in Song Chi's hands, as well as the small number of red-coated cannons that the empire had allowed the vassal king to control.

If you talk about this weapon and equipment alone, King Yan can be regarded as one of the more powerful vassal kings.

Now, the war in the north is coming to an end, and it will be a month at most.

"Brother Lu, come on, the front line is lively."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. Brothers, rush up that hill for me and chop them up! ”

After Gu Gaoxu finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

On the phone, Gu Gaoxu wanted to invite Lu Yuan to come to the front line to have a look, but Lu Yuan refused.

Although Lu Yuan only chatted with Gu Gaoxu for a few words.

But from Gu Gaoxu's words, Lu Yuan was already able to estimate King Yan's current combat strength.

Lu Yuan originally wanted to talk to Gu Gaoxu about the return of building a factory.

I heard that Gu Gaoxu was so busy on the phone, so I didn't mention it.

Anyway, what is your own is your own, and you can't run away.

Lu Yuan still admired King Yan's methods, and he was able to transport firearms to the front line under the nose of Jinyiwei.

I don't know if King Yan is clever, or Emperor Taizu is more at ease with his sons.

Anyway, now for Lu Yuan, he can't be provoked, so try not to offend.

Lu Yuan hung up the phone, led a few henchmen out of the house, and walked around the suburbs outside the city.

Lu Yuan took a fancy to a piece of land, and Lu Yuan, who was standing on the ground, scattered around.

A village with few houses can be seen in the distance.

Lu Yuan walked over, inquired with the local villagers, and pointed in the direction he came: "Old man, I see that there is a large piece of land outside the village, why is it idle?" ”

Under the big tree gathered a large number of middle-aged women, as well as a few elderly people on crutches.

Everyone sat on their own ponies and pulled and croaked.

On the day of the autumn tiger, the acquaintance on the tree kept screaming.

Everyone looked at the clothes of Lu Yuan and the others, and knew that the people who came to inquire were either rich or noble, at least they were also people from the city.

A woman shook her fan and said, "Aunt Chen, your ears are on the back, and you can't hear it." That land, it's not good, it's full of stones, and it can't be planted. ”

"So, whose land does it belong to?" Lu Yuan continued to ask.

"Li Xiaosan'er's family, grunt, look, the third household in the village is Mi, a scholar, can't farm, so don't want it." One woman replied.

"I heard that the last time I went to the city to take the exam, I didn't even enter the examination room."

"Tut-tut...... This old man Li's family turned out to be a rich family. ”

"Isn't it, since Lao Li Tou is gone, this is really not as good as a day."

"The young people in the village have all gone to the city to work, what kind of books are he still studying in the village, alas."

……

Lu Yuan watched the gang babble again, and didn't continue to inquire.

took the guards and went to the village to find Li Xiaosan'er.

Lu Yuan knocked on the door of Li Xiaosan'er's house.

"Who is it?" Someone in the room responded.

Lu Yuanmen simply expressed his intentions outside the door.

Li Xiaosan'er opened the door and welcomed Lu Yuan and the others into the house very politely.

Lu Yuan looked at the small house in front of him, a brick house and two grass sheds.

It has a bit of similarity with the house in Shigezhuang's hometown.

In this brick house, there are still big cracks in the walls.

It can be seen that the house is in disrepair and should have been demolished and renovated a long time ago.

There are neat books on the table, and although the home is simple, all kinds of things are stacked in an orderly manner.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no tea at home, please forgive me for a few cups of hot water." Li Xiaosan'er said while pouring water.

Lu Yuan didn't come to ask for water to drink, so he said straight to the point: "Is the barren land outside the village your family?" ”

Li Xiaosan'er said truthfully: "Yes, what was left by the ancestors is in the middle of the family."

Originally, a few acres of paddy fields were sold, and the remaining dozen acres of thin land were scarce, and we would not plant the land and abandon it. ”

Now Li Xiaosan'er, the only one in the family, with his status as a showman, can receive one or two taels of silver a month, and there is no other income, in addition to being able to mix and eat, he also has to save some money every month.

Lu Yuan looked at Li Xiaosan'er's helpless appearance in front of him.

Thinking that he didn't come through time, Lu Yuan in the past would be like this.

Lu Yuan said: "In this way, I will contract that piece of land for thirty years, and the annual rent will be twenty taels of silver." ”

Li Xiaosan'er was also stunned when he heard Lu Yuan's words, is he so rich?

If no one wants the land, they don't buy it, they just contract it, and they still open their mouths to contract it for 30 years.

The rent is still twenty taels a year.

Actually, you can't sell it for any price.

Lu Yuan saw that Li Xiaosan'er didn't speak, and then said: "In this way, the rent for thirty years is six hundred taels."

I can't give you so many taels of silver at once, and considering the rise in prices, I'll give you a thousand taels. ”

Li Xiaosan'er couldn't believe all this, and said with a little trill: "Then how do you provide rent?" ”

Lu Yuan continued: "One Chinese New Year's Eve three taels and three dollars, make up a whole, and give you fifty taels a year." ”

Li Xiaosan'er's brain is also buzzing.

Li Xiaosan'er naturally agreed, but if he went to the provincial capital for three years to catch the exam, he would not faint at the gate of the city tower and miss the exam.

After Lu Yuan and Li Xiaosan'er negotiated, they signed the voucher for the land lease and left.

Before leaving, he left fifty taels of silver and told Li Xiaosan'er that at this time of year, he would take the voucher to the Zhao Mansion in Taining City to find the old housekeeper.

For Lu Yuan, these hundreds of taels of silver can be taken out by himself.

Although I didn't carry so much, but there were 200,000 taels of silver in the system, and I could go out and find a place where no one was there to throw out a sack.

Lu Yuan's fifty taels of silver per year should be regarded as a sponsorship fee.

Lu Yuan can see that Li Xiaosan'er is a motivated scholar, and whether he can prosper in the family depends on his own ability.

Lu Yuan signed this land to use it.

After returning to the house, Lu Yuan returned to the study and sat down, and arranged for the guards who followed him just now.

said: "The dozen acres of land I bought this morning were all fenced for money.

A high wall was erected, and the east side was next to the wall, and seven or eight large tiled houses were built.

At the four corners of the wall were sentry posts that were a foot higher than the wall. ”

Lu Yuan then added: "Where you use the money, you can go to the treasury to get it, and you can register the silver taels in the book."

Money is not a problem, the requirement is to build with good quality and build quickly. ”

"Okay, young nephew, we will do our best!"

Several palace guards were ordered to leave, and these were all Lu Yuan's henchmen, so they were naturally relieved.

Lu Yuan opened a notebook on the desk and read it, and there were various contents recorded on it.

Lu Yuan closed the book, found a remote room, and threw out a few large boxes from the system.

These big boxes contain long snakes that have already been gag.

Lu Yuan opened the box, and the ice ballast in the box did not change at all.

It seems that there will be no change in what is stored in the system space.

What it looks like when you put it in, and what it looks like when you take it out.

It's as if time stood still.

Then, there was no need for Lu Yuan to worry that the body of this long snake would rot.

It's a pity that this long snake has been divided into several pieces by Lu Yuan's rough effort.

Lu Yuan took off the snake skin and took out his gold silk soft armor again.

Both are almost identical in their hardness.

This snakeskin, like the golden silk soft armor, can withstand the sword and axe, but it cannot withstand the continuous fire.

I don't know what ingredients are added to this gold silk soft armor, and it will not change under calcination.

However, the armor made of this snakeskin is also extremely precious, and the whole snakeskin can be made into a small hundred sets of armor.

One of the chests, with a little shimmer of light.

Lu Yuan opened the box, put on homemade gloves, and pulled out a snake gall the size of a mine melon from it.

Lu Yuan put it in a basin, how could he forget this thing.

If you want to talk about this long serpent up and down, this is a good thing.

Refining it into medicinal herbs to replenish the body of his daughter-in-law is simply a must.

Lu Yuan skinned the snake, took the snake gall bladder, and extracted the snake venom in the room.

The rest, Lu Yuan flipped through it, there was nothing good, and he didn't want the rest.

When Lu Yuan was thinking about what to do with the remaining things, his mother-in-law knocked on the door and asked if Lu Yuan was in the room.

Lu Yuan covered the box, opened the door of the room, and asked his mother to come in.

Su Liyan said: "Son-in-law, are you dealing with the long snake?" ”

"Yes, mother, how do you know?" Lu Yuan was very curious, he was worried that these things would scare his family.

I chose a room in the middle of nowhere, where no one will come.

"Son-in-law, have you forgotten your mother's skills? What's more, you're dealing with it? Su Liyan glanced at the box behind Lu Yuan.

When Lu Yuan put the box containing the long snake in the room, Su Liyan Niang had already felt it just by the slightest smell.

Su Liyan didn't want to disturb Lu Yuan, but she really couldn't help but want to see what the long snake looked like, so she came.

Lu Yuan didn't hide it, and gave it all out.

Su Liyan listened to her son-in-law's words and said, "This snake blood and snake meat are all good things, and it's a pity to throw it away." ”

Lu Yuan responded: "That's right, everything on the long snake is useful, but I really don't like these." ”

"Instead of letting those wild travelers outside the city eat them, it's better to find someone to transport them back to Changliu Village." Su Liyan said thoughtfully.

As soon as Lu Yuan heard his mother's words, he naturally understood what to do with the snake meat in these boxes.

Give it to the people of Changliu Village, they are rare, and eating this thing can improve a lot of Taoism.

Such a big long snake is enough for those people to have a beautiful meal.

Perhaps, you can also sell a love.

In the future, if Lu Yuan really encounters something, let his mother ask these people to help him, so that it can be reasonable.

This official way, Lu Yuan should have to take care of it.

"Mother has some truth, so I will order my subordinates to package these and transport them back to Changliu Village." Lu Yuan responded.

"Son-in-law, wait for me for a while."

Then, Su Liyan took out the pen and ink, took out a few yellow talismans from her arms, drew a few strokes on them, and handed them to Lu Yuan.

said: "Son-in-law, these two talismans are pasted on the ox cart at the beginning and end of the team, and this folded talisman is carried in the arms of the team leader, which can keep you worry-free." ”

Lu Yuan took a look at the runes and said that he had a small success in cultivating the "Heavenly Master", but he didn't know these runes.

Su Liyan Niang saw Lu Yuan's concerns, and said: "The people in the village, through these few talismans, they can understand everything, and naturally they will not hurt people by mistake." ”

Lu Yuan then arranged for people, found a team of ox carts, loaded seven or eight large boxes before and after, and set off overnight.

The box also contains ice ballast to keep it fresh.

Lu Yuan was worried that there would be wild travelers attacking the convoy on the road, so he deliberately pasted his own talismans on each box.

These talismans made it impossible for Ye Xingzi to come forward, and arranged for a dozen walkers to follow.

For dinner, Lu Yuan didn't eat a few bites, and he really had no appetite.

When fighting with the long snake, it's very cool.

When extracting the spiritual objects from the long snake, it was not happy.

So it took half a month to get rid of this thing.

If it weren't for the mother-in-law's idea, I really don't know how to deal with it.

The people in Changliu Village saw that someone was unloading large boxes from ox carts, and these seven or eight boxes were thrown on the weir next to the reservoir.

These people naturally knew that they were sent by the old lady and the messenger, that is, Su Liyanniang.

After the convoy left, the grimace white monkey ran to the box: "Look, what did the old sister send us?" ”

The two-legged sheep tore off the talismans on the box and opened the boxes one by one.

The linemen exclaimed, "Wow! Where did you get all this good meat, old sister! ”

The long snake was quickly eaten......
