Tang Luo, who was aware of his safety concerns, planned to reduce the frequency of coming to the Star Pavilion, and it just so happened that he also needed a period of time to study the martial arts of the Mortal Realm, so it became a good idea to retreat in the Secret Art Pavilion.

Safe and warm, surrounded by excellent and professional assistants, when I have developed the combined striking skills of the Mortal Realm, I will go wherever I want to go.

With this in mind, Tang Luo began his martial arts research with great enthusiasm.

Time passes in peace.

Tang Ming organized the division to do their best to collect grain, and only completed 500,000 tons by the end of the summer harvest, which was still a full half distance from the task assigned by Tang Zhi.

According to his not optimistic estimates, every household began to stock grain in the autumn harvest, and in the next six months, there will be no grain harvest.

I thought that if I couldn't complete the task, I would accept a huge punishment, but I didn't expect that Tang Zhi just faintly said that he knew, and sent the mountain chief Tang Kuan to receive the grain, and instructed him to continue to collect the grain, which seemed to be nothing.

But Tang Ming couldn't be as calm as Tang Zhi, because he couldn't believe that the patriarch didn't say a word about the land plan.

During the summer harvest, Mi raised the price of new grain to forty-five gold per thousand catties, and everyone in the Zong family almost gritted their teeth to eat the new grain, the purpose was for the land in the north of the city promised by Tang Zhi, and although the task was only half completed, Tang Ming felt that he had reached the limit.

Even if you can't get the full amount of land, at least you have to have land for the sect masters to see.

At the clan meeting, he couldn't directly ask why Tang Zhi didn't mention it, so he had to wait until the clan meeting dispersed, and he found Tang Zhi alone.

Tang Ming asked in a low voice, "Patriarch, look, what do you say about the land." ”

In the blink of an eye, it has come to the end of August, and the emergency meeting held on April 15, if there is any plan, then it is necessary to start acting now, otherwise there will be less time, and it will be difficult to even let the original owner move.

Tang Zhi glanced at Tang Ming and praised: "You, very good." ”

The answer was not asked, Tang Ming was anxious in his heart, but he could only humbly say, "I'm just doing my best." ”

"500,000 tons of grain is far from enough, you continue to collect grain. The matter of land will be discussed later. Tang Zhi said lightly.

This made Tang Ming anxious, because at that time, Tang Zhi promised half a year, which made the sect masters of the divided family grit their teeth and fight with him, but if they didn't see the land coming in at the end of the year, these sect masters would not be able to turn the sky upside down.

"I can't help the chief. Tang Ming was sweating profusely: "Even if we only complete half of the task first, you should show half of the land to the clansmen first, otherwise。。。。。 ”

Tang Ming couldn't go on as he spoke, because he saw that Tang Zhi's eyes were getting colder and colder, and his initial admiration was gone.

"You, are you going to teach me how to do things?" Tang Zhi asked lightly.

Tang Ming took a deep breath and replied, "Of course not, it's just that Patriarch you once promised." ”

"But you didn't. Tang Zhi's face did not change, and said coldly.

Tang Ming panicked in his heart, the task of one million tons in two months, no matter who did it, it would not be able to complete, but listening to Tang Zhi's meaning, it seemed that if he didn't complete it, he would not be able to get the land.

Of course, Tang Zhi can be said to be justified in this matter, but how can Tang Ming face those hundreds of sect masters when he goes back. Do you tell them that although we tried our best to collect food, we didn't even have a mound because we didn't complete the task?

"Sect Master, you can't do this. Tang Ming didn't dare to imagine what an angry group of clansmen he would face if he went back empty-handed, so he could only do his last effort.

Tang Zhi smiled and said to Tang Ming: "You go back and tell the truth, you are willing to continue to collect grain, if someone is unwilling, how much money he spends to collect grain, you let him come to my house to pay the money, how much it is spent, I will give him a lot of money." ”

"Not the patriarch, I didn't mean that. Tang Ming hurriedly denied that he couldn't write two Tang characters in one stroke, and all the sects were separated from the Tang Clan's mansions, but in the above twenty generations, everyone was the same ancestor.

It is the responsibility of the family to do things, but it is taboo for Tang Zhi to only have orders and no goals, because they don't know what to do after collecting the grain, so they will naturally have great panic.

And Tang Zhi didn't plan to explain more, and said to Tang Ming: "Needless to say, you just bring the words back." ”

......

The Tang family gathered together again and feasted in the dining room.

Xu Shuhui looked at Tang Luo, who hadn't seen him for a whole month, and said in surprise: "Son, why are you so tall." ”

Tang Luo, who had only reached her neck, had grown to her chin in a month, although he knew that the fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy was the time to grow his body, but this speed was still shocking, and even Tang Sen, who was immersed in eating, couldn't help but look up several times, but his eyes were extremely strange.

Tang Luo smiled and said that he had finally gotten rid of the name of the dwarf.

Looking at his brother's proud appearance, Xiao Zhengtai explained to his mother: "My brother hasn't grown taller, he put three insoles in his boots. ”

Tang Sen glanced at it, and suddenly lowered his head and continued to eat, just now he wondered, obviously the proportions of his whole body have not changed, why did he suddenly jump higher, so it is.

And Xu Shuhui also chuckled when she heard Xiao Zhengtai's explanation, she knew that her eldest son was particularly concerned about height, but she didn't expect to do such a thing, changing her mature and indifferent image in the past.

"Shame, shame. Xiao Nuannuan heard the words of the second brother and shaved his face at Tang Luo and teased.

"Hmph, I don't know you as well. Tang Luo tugged at the corners of his mouth and thought.

As a tall man of 1.6 meters, you only need to work hard to reach 1.7 meters, isn't this the value of the existence of such a thing as boots?

You don't know how tired it is to look up at people's eyes and necks, especially this group of warriors are all tall and tall to one meter eight or nine.

They simply don't understand the suffering of a tall soul locked in a young body.

Hmph! Tang Luo took a large mouthful of food fiercely and chewed angrily.

......

"That's what the patriarch said. Tang Qi asked in disbelief.

Tang Ming nodded bitterly.

As representatives of the sect, they are the bond between the patriarch of the clan and the clansmen, but judging from this incident, this bond is afraid that it will not be able to support it.

Didn't Tang Zhi say that he was willing to pay compensation, just go to his mansion to get the money and see if he could come up with so much cash. Tang Cunfu said coldly.

As one of the representatives of the division, he did not agree with this plan from the beginning.

Collecting grain for land sounds so unreliable, the Tang clan owns a full 800,000 mu of fertile land, and this year is not a disaster year, and grain prices are stable, so there is no way to make a fuss with grain.

And the purchase of such a large amount is even more like a joke, one million tons in two months, unless all the spring and summer grain are harvested, this standard can be reached.

Such a task that is destined to be impossible can only be completed by a stunned young man like Tang Ming.

"Don't you see that Tang Zhi is using the parcels to collect grain, and the land is just a disguise. Tang Cunfu felt the need to wake up this clan brother and save him from going down this dead end.

"No, it won't. Tang Ming shook his head, although he struggled to explain, he could still tell the difference between good and bad.

Tang Cunfu had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said in a cold voice: "The Han River is flooded this year, and the country is 800 miles away, and the fertile fields are destroyed. The patriarch has been mediocre for too long, and he wants to make a hard fortune to prove his ability, and my sect is a pawn used by him. ”
