Xu Fan and Xu Hu's eyes twitched, but they could not say anything. They could only bow out of the room.
At this moment, everyone in the small courtyard has not dispersed, because at this moment Xu Maocai is toasting to the two seniors to express his gratitude for their help, and also to find help for the children of the Xu family...
"Maocai, you and I don't need to be so polite. Your father and I are old acquaintances, and I am related to your Xu family, so if you want to thank me, just thank your ancestor Daru." Cao Qing picked up the wine bowl and said.
"Yes Yes……"
Xu Maocai nodded repeatedly, and everyone made it clear, so he immediately toasted to his ancestors.
And just when he was about to say something, Zu Shanhe quickly stopped Xu Maocai: "Xu Xiaozi has a fate with me, and today I took advantage of him and got an opportunity. I will definitely like your Xu family in the future."
Hearing what Zu Shanhe said, Xu Maocai immediately thanked him: "Thank you Zu Daru. I'll toast you with a small glass of wine."
With tonight's joy, different laughter also came from this small courtyard...
…
next morning
Nanfeng Prefecture went completely crazy because yesterday's "Jinjinjiu" event caused people in the entire prefecture to discuss Xu Que.
Many wine shops and restaurants even hang up poems saying "wine will come" to attract customers.
What these people don't know is that their so-called good days are coming to an end...
Seeing the enthusiastic cheers of the people in the city, a young man in white shook his folding fan and showed disdain.
The place where they were standing was the tallest building in Nanfengzhou City and the most luxurious place in Nanfengzhou, Luanfeng Tower!
Although this building is also a brothel, its specifications and grades are no less than those of the four major brothels in the capital.
"Mr. Kang, how is Nanfengzhou doing?" A young man in purple brocade asked with a smile.
"It's okay, but I prefer the Piaoxiang Tower in the capital!" said the young man in white, who was called Mr. Kang.
“One year is enough to fulfill your wish!”
Brocade Master opened the folding fan and stood at the fence looking down.
"Haha." Mr. Kang laughed and turned to him: "Brother Gu, don't you have any compassion?"
"I am from Beimang, and I have no feelings for this Great Yan at all. As long as that day comes, it will be my time to accompany Mr. Kang to have fun!"
"Yes, you Gu family are my Beimang nobles. In order to capture Dayan, you have been lurking for fifty years." Mr. Kang sighed: "When General Wu breaks through the military crossing, I will ask for the emperor's favor for the Gu family!"
"Thank you very much, Mr. Kang. I wish you great blessings and may you ascend to the highest position!" Mr. Gu said humbly.
Mr. Kang nodded with satisfaction, walked to the wine table, took the glass of wine in front of the table, and drank it all in one gulp!
For others, the highest position is out of reach, but for him, it is just a natural inheritance. After all, his father is the only son, and he is the Beimang Prince Kang Xingye!
As for the young master sitting opposite Kang Xingye, it is Gu Yongnian’s second son Gu Xingchen!
As the two finalized their plan, the wine in the glass was gone...
…
Xu Mansion, Zheyang County
When Xu Que woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
"You're awake." Huang Qianying said: "Yesterday you said in the workshop not to drink too much, but you drank too much at night. Why? Are you afraid that you won't have to drink in the future?"
Xu Que sat up and scratched his head with a silly smile on his face. He was just on a whim yesterday, so he drank more, but he didn't expect to stop the car...
"Get up quickly, you are busy today." Huang Qianying assembled the things in her hands and said, "Xin'er came over this morning. An hour ago, a servant also came over to inquire, but I stopped him."
"Thank you!" Xu Que stood up, stretched, and then asked, "Have you done that?"
"It's almost done. It will be completed in another three hours." Huang Qianying replied without raising her head.
"Okay, then I'll organize the manpower. When you're done, come to Jiangtan Xishan to find me." After Xu Que finished speaking, he walked out of the room.
In the main hall, Xu Maocai and Liu Bo were waiting for Xu Que to show up. Although the plan was in place, the money had not yet been received, so the two could only talk about what would happen after it was completed.
"Dad, are you looking for me?" Xu Que asked as he stepped into the main hall.
"You brat, I asked you to call me, but that yellow girl stopped you." Xu Maocai said angrily.
"Hey, it's for my own good. If you drink too much, don't wake me up directly, otherwise your head will hurt."
Xu Maocai said with a look of disgust: "That means you young people are not good enough. You and I are still fighting after we finish drinking in the military camp!"
"Haha." Xu Que curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "No wonder you and uncle are so stupid..."
"What did you say?" Xu Maocai looked at Xu Que with wide eyes.
"No, you are really good!" Xu Que said perfunctorily, and then took out the wooden box: "These 300,000 taels are enough to delay the Beimang army's advance, but we will give them separately in the end. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be more taels in the true ancestral hall. A tablet."
"Don't worry, your eldest brother has already told your uncle about the matter, and they sent people into Beidu yesterday." Xu Maocai said after taking the banknote.
"Who are you looking for?" Xu Que asked curiously.
"He Daoqing, the imperial censor of Beimang!"
Xu Que was very clear about the official positions in the two countries. Beimang had a system of nine ministers, which was extremely balanced in civil and military affairs, while Dayan implemented a system of six books, and the civil servants were just like his father...
"Is this person reliable?" Xu Que asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, this person is very greedy for money just like Wang Peng," Xu Maocai said: "And this morning, your uncle has already sent a letter, saying that the other party has stopped fighting for half a month, and we will give him one hundred thousand taels."
After hearing what his father said, Xu Que touched his chin. Although his father and uncle were not very bright, after all, it was a matter of life and death, and they couldn't joke about it.
"Okay, I've already paid out the money anyway. If it still fails, dad, you have to be mentally prepared!" Xu Que gave his dad an injection in advance. He was afraid that after the accident, they would find a solution on their own. .
"Well, I know it as a father." Xu Maocai nodded heavily, and then asked curiously: "By the way, why do you want Beimang to cease the war for a month?"
"Of course it is to save the uncle and the others. You will understand when the time comes." After Xu Que finished speaking, he took out a 200,000 tael of silver and handed it to Uncle Liu: "This is the cost of all our current operations. The materials are absolutely If we can’t save it, the houses of the refugees will also be demolished, and then I will build a new town there.”
"New town?"
Xu Maocai and Liu Bo were shocked. They felt that Xu Que was fanciful. You know, if you want to build a new town, the amount of wood and stone alone would be astronomical...
"Don't worry, as long as you listen to me, Uncle Liu, I will let you see unimaginable sights within three months!" Xu Que smiled and patted Uncle Liu.
Xu Que is not bragging, he has had this plan for a long time. The only problem is the manpower problem. Now that it is better, he has tens of thousands of refugees in his hands, so he doesn't believe that the plan cannot succeed!
"Okay, since I'm so old anyway, I'll just go crazy with you for once!" Uncle Liu smiled helplessly.
And just after Xu Que finalized everything, Xu Si hurried in.
"It's not good, Master..." As soon as Xu Si finished speaking, he saw Xu Que and quickly said to Xu Que: "It's not good, young master, ghost rocks appeared in a mountain on the west bank of the river beach, and many refugees were injured. I don’t want to open the mountain!”
ah?
Xu Que looked at his father, then at Uncle Liu, and found that the two of them were stunned, as if they had seen a ghost.
"What is the ghost stone?" Xu Que turned to his father and asked curiously.
"This object is dark and shiny and can burn, but it will produce poisonous gas. It is an ominous object, so it is named ghost stone." Xu Maocai explained.
Damn it!
Xu Que was shocked. He felt that God was sending a big gift. How could this be a ghost stone? It was clearly money for running away again!
He guessed right, what this world calls ghost stone is coal! And it’s the best quality coal!
"I'm getting rich, I'm getting rich!" Xu Que clenched his hands excitedly: "Now I'm getting rich! Haha..."
Xu Maocai and the other three were confused because they didn't know what kind of madness Xu Que was. Wouldn't they run far away when encountering a ghost stone? How does this have anything to do with getting rich?
