Young Master Xi suddenly became energetic and asked hurriedly, "Is this true?"
"Seriously, when I went to load fertilizer today, everyone was saying that in our area, Aunt Zhang's braised food is the most authentic."
Meng Heng couldn't help but lick his lips. He couldn't think about what he was going to eat. As soon as he thought about it, he felt that the Five Zang Temple began to protest.
When I was at home, I couldn't eat all the delicacies from the mountains and seas every day. Who knew that after coming here, I wouldn't be full without eating two bowls of corn rice in one meal.
Especially this Zhuangzi is so weird that almost no one cares about how many meals he eats a day.
Some families may eat two meals a day, while others may eat three or four meals a day.
It's not bad now. After the land is fattened, the tenant farmers who have food in their hands will go to the city for consumption and entertainment.
Young Master Xi couldn't help it anymore, climbed into the dump truck of the carriage, took a long-handled ladle, and shook his arms hard.
"Let's hurry up. We still have two acres of land. Let's eat it as soon as we fertilize it."
Thief Meng Heng chuckled and said, "I heard that there is a foot-washing parlor in Yuntong County, which is specially used for washing people's feet."
Young Master Xi asked confusedly, "What's so fun about this?"
"Sir, that's not just foot washing. I heard that in addition to foot washing, you can also massage your feet and make a soup with medicinal herbs. The whole process will not only make your whole body clear, but also activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis."
Young Master Xi suddenly became energetic and said with a smile, "How much money do you still have?"
Meng Heng was surprised and said, "Sir, we never bring money."
Young Master Xi felt something in his heart and said in shock, "It's over, it's over."
The two of them walked the dog and played with the birds in Chaoxian, and asked their subordinates to pay for their money. Sometimes they would not pay if they were in a bad mood. The current situation was that they didn't even have a single coin on them.
At this time, a huge carriage, no, an ox carriage, no, a rhino carriage, slowly passed by the two of them.
Yang Gan waved to the two of them, jumped off the carriage and walked towards them.
Perhaps because they have been educated and understand that form is stronger than people, Young Master Xi and Meng Heng held their hands and politely said, "Jun Wu An."
Yang Gan waved his hand, came to the carriage, checked the fertilizer, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, this year's fertilizer is better than last year's. It seems that next year's food harvest will be bumper."
"How are you two doing?"
Yang Gan looked at the two dirty people. Although Lao Xia asked for a hard education, it was for their own good, and Yang Gan naturally knew it.
"It's not bad, but I've been suffering from back pain recently." Young Master Xi stretched his waist and suddenly grinned.
"Do a good job, and if possible, I'll take you to a nice place in a few days."
The two people's eyes suddenly lit up, "Really?"
Yang Gan curled his lips and said, "Don't be complacent, I will find someone to look at it. If the fattening is not good, you will feed the pigs in the pig pen for me."
The two of them shivered immediately, and couldn't help but feel chills all over when they thought of thousands of pigs surrounding them.
Yang Qian took a look and prepared to leave if nothing happened. The two looked at each other with a bit of resentment and acted like they were hesitant to speak.
Yang Qian was not a fool and knew that there must be something going on between the two of them.
"What do you want to say? Tell me directly. Don't make any small moves behind your back or act coquettish for who to see?"
The young master has never been so embarrassed in the past. His fingers filled with dirt in his nails kept twirling, squeezing and saying, "This, this, I, the two of us plan to go to the city to play, but, no, no money. "
Yang Gan twitched the corner of his mouth fiercely, went to the carriage, took out two large money bags, and threw them to the two of them.
"Being like you is considered to be the best. Let me state in advance that I have not abused you, but the number of fertilized fields will not change during this period. If you fail the assessment, hey, you two are going to be killed by me. Let’s keep pigs in captivity.”
Young Master Xi quickly poured out the coins from the purse, counted them carefully, and suddenly became happy. According to the size of the coins, they were worth thousands of dollars.
If he were in court, this small amount of money would hardly even make him official.
I don't even have the qualifications to see it, but today is different from the past.
Go ahead and enjoy it. If you are short of money, go ask your father for it. It’s better to be guilty. Fortunately, Yang Gan was kind enough and gave some money, otherwise it would be really troublesome.
Although Aunt Zhang’s stewed braised food is not expensive, it still costs money.
"Thank you Wu An-kun."
"Hmm~~!" Yang Gan nodded and continued driving the bullock cart around.
It is common sense that the higher the status of a person, the more difficult it is to save face, but many people forget that the higher the status of a person, the better they will judge the situation.
Xiao Yu sat in his office, picked up the phone and started contacting each other to make arrangements.
"Hey, record the documents, notify Zhao Xin, and ask him to forward them to Young Master Jie..."
"Hey, Mi Le, I am Xiao Yu. I am organizing an army of 30,000 people. We need elites and siege weapons and at least 10,000 crossbowmen."
"Hey, I'm Xiao Yu. I'm recording. I'm secretly targeting Dongguo to inquire about the map, city guard deployment and troop numbers."
...........
Xiao Yu rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, and then arranged everything in an orderly manner.
Chaoxian, the residence of Prince Jie.
Xin Zhao tidied up his helmet. He was going to die. He had eaten so much during this period that he almost couldn't even put the helmet on. Fortunately, he put on makeup, so it should be fine.
"Sir, the general is back."
Young Master Jie immediately stood up excitedly and said in a deep voice, "How did things go?"
Zhao Xin respectfully handed the bronze seal behind him to Gongzi Jie, who opened it without even checking the ink pad, took out the letter, read it quickly and handed it to Li Chi.
"Hahaha, God help me, I didn't expect Goguryeo to actually agree."
After Li Chi finished reading, he was silent for a long time, staring at Zhao Xin with his cloudy eyes, and asked, "Did you meet the King of Goguryeo in person?"
"Yes."
"Why, their writing is no different from ours in Xia?"
Zhao Xingong said cautiously, "I don't know, even the general. When I went there, I thought I couldn't understand the language. In fact, there are a small number of people who know our Central Plains language, and the writing is also in the Central Plains script."
"Tell me in detail."
"Nuo, I first went to Xuantu County to make contact. After learning about my intention, they were shocked and had no idea that Ji Zhao was planning to deal with them."
"After General Mo was imprisoned, he sent people to Yuntong County to investigate and found out that there was nothing wrong. Then he released General Mo and took him to Pyongyang, their capital. After General Mo continued to explain, they finally agreed, but there were conditions."
Li Chi nodded, and his gloomy face suddenly wrinkled slightly, "You are right, it is all written here. Their request is for Prince Jie's personal letter and token. After winning the battle, they want our Xia Kingdom to cede Yuntong County." The land of Edom shall be theirs.”
Xin Zhao was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't know, I will not be able to check it after the bronze seal is sealed."
At that time, in order to be realistic, the secret agents of Tianshou Division did not tell him when they forged the letters. In this way, Zhao Xin's reaction could be considered true.
"You've worked hard too, go down and rest."
Xin Zhao apologized and said, "No."
Looking at Zhao Xin's retreating figure, Ji Jie immediately asked, "Prime Minister, is Zhao Xin trustworthy?"
Li Chi stroked his beard and smiled and said, "No problem. I read through the records and it is consistent with what Xin Zhao said, and his reaction just now is also very true."
"A few days ago, King Dong sent a letter. He was worried that no one would restrain Yang Qian. Now it is just right. Goguryeo will restrain Yang Gan. In this way, the seven kingdoms can deal with the king together. King Dong also admitted that they are not interested in the position of king. I hope that when you become the king, you will not be able to take away their power."
Ji Jie nodded, "Of course, I am opposed to the reduction of vassalage."
He thought for a while, frowned and said, "But Goguryeo wants the land east of Yuntong County. This is too much. How can such a border barbarian be qualified to make conditions with our Xia Kingdom?"
Li Chi said with a smile, "Young Master is in charge of writing letters. Although we have many disagreements with Yang Qian, Yang Qian's combat power is obvious to all. Goguryeo's role is only to contain
That’s all. "
"It's not that I look down on Goguryeo, they are no match for Yang Ganshuzi."
"Pa~"
Young Master Jie clapped his hands and immediately began to write the letter with his own hands excitedly, stamped it with his own seal, then wrapped the jade pendant with him, put it into a bronze seal, and sealed it with mud.
After summoning Zhao Xin, Prince Jie said, "Zhao Xin, send this thing to Goguryeo immediately without any mistake."
Xin Zhao was stunned, "Sir, I, I just came back."
Young Master Jie raised a cold eyebrow and scolded, "You bastard, this matter is very important. Go quickly and don't say anything."
Xin Zhao hesitated for a moment, cupped his fists and said, "No."
As soon as he walked out of the door, Xin Zhao cursed in a low voice. Although he was just pretending, this dog-fighting thing was really not a thing. It treated people like animals.
After Xin Zhao left, some things happened quietly in Chaoxian City. Some generals took advantage of their work breaks to come to the city to play, eat, drink, and play with women.
I don’t know what’s going on, but I often fight with others.
At the door of a restaurant, a man who looked like a general was thrown down from upstairs. He lay on the ground and twitched for a while before making no sound.
An old man shook his head and sighed, "I don't know what's going on. A lot of generals have died in the city recently."
"Hey, why are these people unruly? According to the law, generals leading troops cannot return to the city."
"A few days ago, several generals fought with others and drowned in the barrels of brothel girls."
At this time, a group of soldiers ran over. Without saying anything, they rushed forward. After a long time, they took another person with them. Then a few soldiers hastily collected the body of the dead general on the ground and carried it away.
From the time they appeared to when they left, it definitely took no more than five minutes. The Guizhou leaders couldn't feel it. If there were any knowledgeable people here, they would find that these soldiers had very strange faces.
And the equipment is well-equipped, all made of iron. The most eye-catching thing is the process of handling things, as if he is very familiar with it.
In Yuntong County, on the official road not far away, three carriages kept galloping over. After asking for some information from the locals, the carriages changed directions and rushed towards Zhuangzi.
