"I don't lack women. I have too many things in my life. There are many things that others think are beyond their reach. I can easily get them with just a gesture, but I don't like this. People are easy to get. Ignoring things that are too easy to get, I feel that marrying a wife is not too casual, so I want to work harder to cherish this process and find someone who is truly suitable for me."
Liang Chuan heard this and thought that this buddy was too affectionate, but he also somewhat agreed with what he said. Only those things that are not available are valuable, and only those that are not easy to obtain will be cherished. This is indeed the truth. He wanted to add a few words, but Sun Houpu continued.
"The Sun family has a great reputation, a long history of prosperity, and looks glamorous on the surface, but it is getting worse every day."
Liang Chuan vaguely smelled a different flavor from these words, and wanted to ask but felt abrupt. If you don't tell me, I won't ask. I just stand quietly on the hillside and enjoy the caress of the spring breeze, which is very light and soft.
"This tea seedling is the precious egg of gold and the king of hell..."
Liang Chuan's heart skipped a beat.
"A tea garden is like a piece of meat, a piece of delicious raw meat. It will attract a lot of maggots. Maybe you have help from noble people behind you, so you want to plant this golden pastry, but it is true that our Sun family is in turmoil now..."
"Isn't it? Your family is still in turmoil? Then our small family will become a small boat in the vast ocean?"
"The bigger the piece of meat, the more people will notice it. This is the situation our Sun family is in now."
"I don't understand. Did your family offend a big shot? You're so shocked..."
"Now we are together."
"What kind of person?"
Sun Houpu was shocked. He was stunned by Liang Chuan's pretending to be innocent and ignorant. This kid was so damn shameless. He had planted all the tea seedlings and now he was still pretending not to understand, or he really didn't understand. .
Is it possible? . He really doesn't know!
Then you would have harmed him! Sun Houpu's mind went blank. He looked at this person of the same age as himself, and it reminded him of some past events that he did not think were happy.
Sun Houpu tentatively asked a question that seemed silly: "Did you know that tea cannot be sold?"
In the silence, Liang Chuan buzzed, his head was hit with a sap, and he forced a smile on his face: "Tea cannot be sold? Are you kidding me?"
The mountain breeze was blowing in his ears, but Liang Chuan couldn't hear any sound. What a big joke. In the Song Dynasty, people all over the street drank tea, but tea was not allowed to be sold. This is something I have never heard of. Then where did their tea come from? Did they grow it at home? I dare you to grow your own tea trees and fatten the chickens if you want to drink tea and eat chicken.
It's over, it's over, Sun Hopu really can't see this person clearly now. He had always thought that Liang Chuan was a master like a crouching dragon in Nanyang, with eyes that were not born but could peer into the world. However, he didn't even know how to drink tea. Are there any people in the Song Dynasty who didn't know this? No wonder he opened his mouth I asked myself for a thousand tea seedlings. Can I drink them all? They are really selling them. Isn’t it his idea?
"How about we go down the mountain? Let's talk about this slowly on the way. We won't be able to explain it for a while." Sun Houpu was afraid of doing bad things with good intentions. A thousand tea seedlings is a small thing, but if you are not careful, you will be targeted. Small things can turn into big trouble.
"I want to make this matter clear. I am afraid that I may have accidentally violated the laws of the Song Dynasty without knowing it, and then I will make wedding clothes for others!"
Tea, salt, iron, vitriol, wine and other items are subject to a monopoly system. Salt and iron wine are very famous. Liang Chuan knew that, but he did not know that even tea was controlled by the court. He thought that the tea style was popular in the Song Dynasty. This must be due to the highly developed tea commodity economy. Unexpectedly, it is not only underdeveloped, but also restricts the circulation of tea!
If you take any one of these ways to make money, they will all create wealthy princes, wealthy businessmen who want to be kings. In this kind of environment, the Sun family can only get a mouthful of soup, and their mouths will be full of oil. The method must be unusual. We must get more information from Sun Houpu, otherwise catastrophe is not far away.
The tenant farmers of the Zheng family have regained their spirits these days. The waterwheel has been running for a few days. The sugar cane in the field has been irrigated. There is some river water stored in the ditch. When the water in the sugar cane field dries up, the ridges will be broken and the water will be released. The water tank of the waterwheel brought in a steady stream of water. Several tenant farmers considered digging a pool on the edge of the field. The river water had nowhere to flow and could only be wasted.
The water flowed back into the stream, which made other people in the village feel distressed. They knew He Baozheng and used the ditch they dug to divert a lot of stream water to water their seedlings. But others were not so lucky. Zheng The tenant farmer refused to let go of the water no matter what.
One family wants water, and hundreds of others want it. The water tanker can irrigate one's own land, but if all the land has to be irrigated, it will be too much. It's morally justified to release the water, but it won't do any good at all. If your land isn't irrigated enough, your employer will blame it.
A water wheel caused a huge sensation in this small place. When several surrounding villages heard that He Lu had a large water wheel, they didn't have to go to the stream to fetch water to water the fields, and their eyes were so hot that they bled. water. They have endured the hardship of carrying water, and every house is on dry land. If there is such a waterwheel, none of them will grow wheat in the future. If they plant some rice, the harvest will be much higher.
Many people in the village take advantage of the strong sun at noon or when the sun sets in the evening, and the tenant farmers of the Zheng family go home to cook and are not in the fields. They secretly run to the stream to observe what the Zheng family's waterwheel looks like, and see what it looks like. I don’t understand. As soon as they get close to the water tanker that the tenants of the Zheng family regard as life, refugees from northern Shaanxi will come from all directions. A group of more than a dozen people are extremely aggressive, thinking that they are going to destroy the water tanker, and they all hold hoes in their hands. Sickle, staring at the villagers angrily, ready to fight!
The folk customs of the border people in northern Shaanxi are quite domineering. The Qin soldiers who were defeated by the Emperor of Qin in the past, and the Yulin soldiers in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty, all used ruthless characters to stop hundreds of people. If they pulled together a team, they would have the capital to compete in the world. Their characteristic is that the elderly and children should not be underestimated. All men, women and children are soldiers. If you hit me, my whole family will go into battle, and they will do it with a kitchen knife and an axe!
Villagers in the nearby villages of Xianshui, Chihe, and Liangan were very curious about the waterwheel. Some people had dirty hands and feet, so they came up and broke the waterwheel. Fan Dianyuan and the others refused to let the waterwheel be damaged, so the money was precious. Over and over again, the tenant farmers and the villagers almost clashed with each other many times, leading to conflicts.
Fortunately, his eldest brother Fan Dianyuan was calm enough to calm down in time and control the situation. Although Qianglong was strong, he could not suppress the local snake. They finally settled down and could no longer withstand the torment. He also reported this situation to Zheng Ruoying several times. Zheng Ruoying also maintained a high-pressure posture. The Zheng family had not taken these villagers seriously yet. His attitude was also as restrained as possible, and he would resort to resorting to violence when necessary. With force, the Zheng family was behind them to support them.
The sugarcane seedlings in this season need a lot of water, and the water truck makes the sugarcane seedlings in the field glow with vitality. Zheng Ruoying came to inspect the water tanker the next day after it was set up. The tenant farmers thanked her profusely for making such a good thing. Looking at the sparkling water in the aqueduct, she didn't expect the water to The car is so efficient.
When she was happy, Zheng Ruoying brought a basket of freshly picked loquats from Shufeng Township to express her gratitude to Liang Chuan. Although Liang Chuan also made the waterwheel for his own business, he still had to show his favor on the surface and let people do this every day. It wouldn't be justified if I didn't express myself.
The loquats in Shufeng Township are big and round, like a huge egg. After ripening, the flesh is orange-red and tender. When you peel off the peel, the flesh is sweet but not sour and melts in your mouth. Now is the season when loquats are ripe. There are many fruit farmers selling loquats at the Fengshan market. A few loquat trees can add a lot of income to the family.
In this era, green vegetables and fruits are not as treasured as they would be in later generations. On the contrary, every villager has no oil or water in their stomachs, and the price of fruits is relatively low. A whole basket of loquats sometimes only costs a few months of rations. However, This meager amount of money can be held in the hands of a person with his back to the sky, as if he is a darling. .
Zheng Ruoying saw Sun Houpu again, her face filled with joy suddenly fell down again, and the two met again like strangers in the Hegao Ancestral Hall. Sun Houpu stood quietly looking at Zheng Ruoying with a warm smile on his face. There was a warm and high-spirited smile on his face that was irresistible. On the other hand, Zheng Ruoying had a cold look on his face. Frost.
Zheng Ruoying wanted to put this annoying person aside, and deliberately chatted with Liang Chuan to make him retreat. Who knew that Liang Chuan took the loquats sent by Zheng Ruoying, took a few, and pulled Sun Houpu and two people to the side. Instead, he put Zheng Ruoying aside and talked about tea.
Ever since she was little, Zheng Ruoying has been surrounded by stars and has never enjoyed the feeling of being treated coldly. She never expected that these two people would treat her like this.
Liang Chuan no longer had the time to take care of the eldest lady's mood, and directly asked Sun Houpu: "I have a lot of incompetence and shortcomings in tea. Let's discuss it."
Sun Houpu glanced at Zheng Ruoying. He must be asking for trouble by touching her cold ass at this moment. He could only say to Liang Chuan, "Where to start?"
Liang Chuan said: "Speak slowly from the beginning." Judging from Sun Houpu's background, Zheng Ruoying undoubtedly made the right bet in choosing this young man. What the Zheng family wanted was not just such a wealthy family, so that his daughter of the Zheng family would not have to worry about it. The rest of my life.
Adding even a small snowflake to the rich family's cake is better than handing over this huge family fortune to some poor boy who is eager to get pie in the sky. Zheng Yiqian has always thought this way. Ever since he knew that his daughter was interested in When this wild boy from Fengshan had an idea, he was so anxious that he couldn't eat well or sleep all day long. The flowers he had worked hard to plant for twenty years could not be lost to a pig.
But when Liang Chuan looked at these two people, he felt an unexplainable feeling in his heart. Could it be that he was being forced to do something that was not sweet?
