Chapter 185: The Demon Tree is Full of Cities
Lin Zhutou said that a few days ago, someone picked up a firecracker that could emit red smoke, but at first everyone didn't understand what it was.
From the outside, it looks like a firecracker, but in fact it is indeed a firecracker, but the problem is that there is no cannon signal.
The first one was picked up by a child, and after studying it for a long time, I didn't find the gunshyacinth. So he showed it to his grandfather, who said that it must have been broken, so it was abandoned on the side of the road.
The child said that he wanted to play with firecrackers and asked his grandfather to find a way to make it sound.
At first, the grandfather wanted to find the entrance to the original cannon letter and connect a letter line. But I found that I couldn't find any broken wires. After thinking about it, I felt that since I couldn't find it, I would simply open another hole.
So he borrowed a mound of tools and began to drill holes in the firecrackers.
"Then it exploded, blowing up the old man's beard, hahahahaha!" Lin Zhutou smiled shamelessly, laughing without sympathy: "That firecracker can smoke red for some reason, and the old man will be smoked all over his body, and his family will think that he is seriously injured, and they will start to think about preparing for him in their hearts." But in fact, the old man was just choked and fainted. ”
"Hahahaha!" Yulan also laughed, laughing so shamelessly.
Tang Xiaomi swallowed the melon seeds angrily and slammed the melon seed skin on the table. She was thinking: The firecracker must have been thrown away by the spirit ape, but it was picked up by the unlucky child and pit his grandfather. His grandfather is also quite unreliable, can firecrackers be drilled with a tool?
Lin Zhutou suddenly stopped laughing, and said: "So, where did that firecracker come from? I heard what our Second Master Qian said, that firecracker is very likely to be a signal firecracker used by people in the rivers and lakes." ”
You Lan's eyes narrowed, knowing that Lin Zhutou must have come to fight the autumn wind again, and he couldn't find a suitable reason, so he came here to tell a story. Although the story is supposed to be true, and it has caused the tragic consequences of the old man's beard being broken, Yulan has no intention of spending money to solve the problem. So he said: "Just now you said that there is a big business to do, what kind of business?"
Lin Zhutou saw that the shopkeeper You didn't open his face today, so he lost interest in continuing to blackmail a meal, but talked about the events of the previous days. A few days ago, Yang Bone's three apprentices who didn't know the depth came to challenge the Longmen Inn, but they were torn apart, Lin Zhutou led Zhang San and Zhao Si two good apprentices, looking for bones everywhere, looking for a night, and finally although he was still missing arms and legs, he finally managed to get together three heads and torsos, and then he handed over the errand.
But after all, there are still some wreckage that flew elsewhere and could not be found.
Lin Zhutou said mysteriously: "Guess what, those wreckage actually burrowed into the soil and gave birth to small trees. That kind of strange tree is so green that it can still bloom at night, and the oldest old man in our Jiuquan City also said that he had never seen this kind of tree. But that tree has a characteristic, its vitality is extremely tenacious, and it can thrive in our semi-desert area, isn't this a big discovery?"
"The Big Discovery?"
Lin Zhutou suddenly approached, and said in a low voice: "And the corpse that I buried in the soil has also sprouted, and hundreds of saplings have grown densely. ”
You Lan rolled his eyes and said, "Not to mention, if this tree is easy to cultivate, it can change the appearance of Jiuquan City." ”
Lin Zhutou slapped the table and said in agreement: "I have already told Zhang Xianling about this discovery, Zhang Xianling is very happy, let me plant a piece first, he wants to see how the effect is, if the effect is good, he will report to the government or even the imperial court, and plant a large area in the vast area of Hexi, if Zhang Xianling does a good job of greening the project and eliminates the sand hazard in Hexi, it will be a thousand years of work." The emperor is wise, and he will definitely make Zhang County a big official, and his good name will also be recorded in history. ”
"What does it have to do with me?" Yulan squinted.
Lin Zhutou shook his head and said, "The method is good, the goal is clear, and the sapling is ready-made, so what do you say is missing now?"
"Contract the project, plant the tree!" Youlan suddenly rejoiced.
"That's right!" Lin Zhutou said in a whimsical tone: "Although this project is only planting experimental forests, there are already three competing contractors. The Nangong family in the south of the city won three ridges, Wang Dahu in the West City, and Li Dahu in the East City each had two ridges, "A pat on the heart, not without pride: "I, Lin Jiahan, won a ridge of land." ”
"How much money can you make?" You Lan didn't seem very hopeful, because the work in the county is often the work of tired silly boys, and the so-called winning is not so much the apportionment of the county order to the adults to make a big deal of money.
"No money. Lin Zhutou shrugged his shoulders regretfully.
"No money!?" Youlan was anxious: "I won't do it!"
Lin Zhutou lowered his voice again and said: "You shopkeeper, although there is no money, there is still a policy. In the future, if this experimental forest grows well, then it will inevitably be planted on a large scale. At that time, it will be a state grant, haha, there will be a lot of money to be made. Our four counties in Hexi, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang, my God, how big is the land, how many trees have to be planted, and how much does it cost?"
was encouraged by Lin Zhutou, Youlan was a little lively, but she still didn't trust Lin Zhutou very much.
And when she inquired about the place where she wanted to plant trees, she felt that this matter was unreliable, Zhang Xianling actually asked everyone to go to the Gobi Desert in the Sanyin Formation of Horsehair Mountain to plant trees, Zhang Xianling said, there are many potholes there for some reason, which is very suitable for planting trees, and everyone should thank the county for its compassion.
You Lan thought about it, this Lin Zhutou was also forced to lose his tricks by the county order, no one could help him with this job, but he could dig some spirit stones by the way. So he said: "Forget Lin Zhutou, I don't have hope for such a big business, and I also want to advise you, don't have too much hope, if it is really funded by the imperial court, it will not be our turn to do this work." Even the Nangong family, the Li family, and the Wang family may not be able to get it. So, I don't want so distant benefits, I just want immediate benefits. I hope you can think of a way to invite the Sun family next door away. But we're not bullying, I'll buy it for him twice the market price, and then I'll help you plant the tree. ”
After that, Youlan handed over a money bag to Lin Zhutou.
Twice the market price, that's a hundred taels of silver. Lin Zhutou came to the Sun family with a money bag, but the Sun family and his wife could not leave the former residence, and they refused to leave.
Good is foolishness.
Later, Lin Zhutou went to the main road in the north of the city, spent eighty taels to go down to the second floor of the street, and then came to the Sun family to change, and the Sun family and his wife were so happy to move.
"It's been a long time, this is a pair of fools!" Lin Zhutou returned Youlan twenty taels of silver, and when he returned the money, his eyes rolled.
You Lan knew that Lin Zhutou must have deducted some benefits from it, but the favor was there, and it was not easy to expose him, and he also gave him ten catties of bacon and a jar of Fen wine. Lin Zhutou left satisfied.
While looking for a bricklayer to expand the homestead, Youlan discussed with the third brother about planting trees, and at this time, Wei Daofeng led the crane cloud qi and came in a leisurely manner.
Wei Dao Chang actually pinched a sapling in his hand, the root of the sapling looked like the size of a human head, it looked very weird, put the tree on the ground, Wei Dao Feng said: "Recently, I watched Jiuquan City full of demonic energy, which is really not a good sign, so I searched everywhere and found this kind of demon corpse tree in the corner of Yihong Courtyard!"
Yulan blinked.
