Chapter 358 Bought a Mountain
"Wild fruits are just wild fruits. No matter how many there are, they are still wild fruits. Yes, you are right. There are quite a lot of wild fruits, but it is troublesome to pick them? Does it require a lot of manpower to pick them? Fruits are small in size and there are so many varieties, so the value must be hard to come by." Zhong Wen looked at Niu Shou Mountain in front of him, and responded to Xingba and the others.

After listening to Xingba, they were also thinking in their hearts.

As Zhong Wen said.

Regardless of the size of the wild fruit, or picking it, it is really not satisfactory.

but.

They couldn't figure out why Zhong Wen wanted to plant fruit trees, and why he wanted to plant them on a large scale.

No matter how you say it, wild fruits are not as good as food. After all, this is not something that can fill your stomach.

If anyone can grow food in the mountains, it goes without saying.

If the imperial court knew about it, it would definitely reward him with a title, and it might be a high title, higher than that of Li Chongyuan's county.

but.

Who can grow food on the mountain now?
The answer is no.

In the state that Xing Ba and the others didn't understand, Li Chongyuan took the lead in walking towards Niu Shou Mountain.

After wandering around for a while.

Li Chongyuan already had a general understanding of the periphery of Niu Shou Mountain in his heart.

Back to Lizhuang after breakfast.

Li Chongyuan took a notebook and a hard pen and began to write and draw.

After an hour.

Only then did Li Chongyuan stretch his waist, "Ha, it's finally finished. It seems that this fruit sapling needs to be stepped up, and more will be needed."

Qiao Hui, who was sitting not far away doing needlework, was puzzled by Li Chongyuan's words.

Just in the morning.

Qiao Hui also heard Li Chongyuan and her younger brother Qiao Su talk about planting fruit trees.

Available now.

She has never heard of anyone who can grow rich by planting fruit trees.

"Xiao Langjun, are you planning to plant fruit trees on the wasteland?" Qiao Hui, who couldn't help being curious, finally asked Li Chongyuan.

Li Chongyuan raised his head, looked at Qiao Hui, said with a smile on his face, "Wasteland is so expensive, how can I use it to grow it? I'm going to buy Niu Shou Mountain. When the time comes, I will invite some people to clean up the periphery of Niu Shou Mountain." If so, just plant the fruit tree on Niu Shou Mountain."

"Buy Niu Shou Mountain? Young Master, this is impossible. There is a temple on Niu Shou Mountain, besides, the old lady will not agree with you to do this." Qiao Hui was shocked when she heard Li Chongyuan's words body.

Seeing Qiao Hui's appearance like this, Li Chongyuan couldn't be surprised, "Okay, don't worry about this matter, this is my plan, as long as I talk to Auntie, Auntie will definitely agree .”

It's hard to say whether the old lady agrees or disagrees.

But if the news got out, those nobles in Chang'an City would have to laugh at Li Chongyuan for being a fool.

It didn't take long.

Li Chongyuan didn't stay in Li Zhuang any more, got into the carriage, called Shangxingba and the others, and went straight to Chang'an.

And in the evening.

Josu and the others are back.

"Sister, do you mean that Mr. Xiaolang is going to buy Niu Shou Mountain? You must have heard it wrong, right?" Qiao Su was very anxious when she heard her sister's words.

right now.

I saw other people buying fields and land, and no one said they wanted to buy mountains.

This made Qiao Su really confused about which nerve of his little man had an attack again.

The value of the mountain is geometric.

There is no legal support at all.

If you want to buy Niu Shou Mountain, it is estimated that this matter will definitely go up.

When I think of this place.

Qiao Su was in a hurry.

And Qiao Hui, who was on the side, saw her brother's nervous and anxious appearance, and hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry about you, Mr. Xiao Lang went to Chang'an, he must have gone to report to the old lady, as long as the old lady hears that Mr. If you want to buy a mountain, you will definitely oppose it."

"That's right, as long as the old lady hears that Mr. Xiao Lang bought the mountain, she will definitely stop it. Forget it, don't think about it, let him make trouble." After Qiao Su got her sister's words, she thought the same.

In the thoughts of their siblings.

It is absolutely impossible to buy Shanna.

Even the talkative old lady couldn't possibly agree.

but.

The two of them, the siblings, did not know.

At this time, Li Chongyuan was at his family's residence, relying on his sharp tongue to trick the old lady around.

"Aniang, you don't know, as long as I buy this Niu Shou Mountain and plant some fruit trees at that time, I will try again, maybe there will be other varieties, even if it doesn't work, I may rely on If these fruits can be made into cans and sold far away, the value is definitely worth more than planting Huaishan." Li Chongyuan was talking about his plan to the old lady, while thinking about the future.

The old lady is still confused when she hears it now, but she just doesn't understand what kind of ability her son has, he can plant fruit trees and make canned food, and he really doesn't know why.

but.

When she thought about Huaishan and Qingcai, she nodded, "Yuan'er, the imperial court has no regulations on buying Niu Shou Mountain. You'd better go to the palace and ask the Holy Majesty about it." It’s a good way to save time and make all the court know.”

"Okay, Auntie, then I will go to the palace tomorrow to seek advice from the Holy Majesty. It is getting late, so I will leave." After Li Chongyuan heard his Auntie's words, he had an idea in his heart.

Li Chongyuan, who left his family, hurried to the cultivation workshop.

The street drum has already been beaten, even if Li Chongyuan is an honorable man, he still has to abide by the curfew.

Otherwise, if you are caught by the Marquis Wu who are patrolling the streets, you will lose face and maybe you will be fined.

The next morning.

After Li Chongyuan had breakfast in the Yingbin Building, he went to Miyagi.

After getting permission, he entered the palace.

Three quarters of an hour passed.

Li Chongyuan walked out of the palace with his head held high.

Xing Ba, who was waiting outside, saw Li Chongyuan in such a state, and knew that his little lord must have solved all the troubles, so he went up to meet him and asked, "Little lord, where are we going now?"

"Haha, go back to Lizhuang." Li Chongyuan laughed and got into the carriage.

And this time.

Wan'er, this girl, has been waiting at the county mansion for a long time.

but.

When she waited and waited but couldn't see her fourth brother coming back, she called Gousheng anxiously, "Goofy, go to Miyagi and see when my fourth brother will come back."

When Gousheng heard this, he left Wukong and ran towards Miyagi.

After Gousheng learned that Li Chongyuan had left Miyagi and had already left the city, he ran back to the county mansion again.

"Little lady, Mr. Xiao Lang has already returned to Li Zhuang." Gou Sheng replied nervously to Wan'er.

every time.

When Gou Sheng saw Wan'er, he was afraid that he would be too nervous.

Gou Sheng has been beaten by Wan'er and scolded by Wan'er.

If you don't act according to Wan'er's words, maybe you will be hit in the head.

but.

This happened half a year ago, and the current Wan'er is no longer so violent.

At least.

In the past six months, there has been no violent beating of servants.

After hearing Gou Sheng's reply, Wan'er stomped her feet resentfully, "Hmph, bad fourth brother, stinky fourth brother, you ran so fast that I waited for more than an hour in vain."

now.

Sitting in the carriage, Li Chongyuan, who was driving towards Li Zhuang, sneezed.

"Who is scolding me? Could it be the girl Wan'er again?" Li Chongyuan was so disturbed by this big sneezing that he thought it was his little sister who was scolding him.

Waiting for Li Chongyuan's carriage to go to Li Zhuang non-stop.

On the way, Li Chongyuan turned to the direction of Hu County.

And just as Li Chongyuan arrived at the county seat of Hu County, Wan'er also got into the carriage, left Chang'an City, and headed straight for Li Zhuang.

Throughout the journey, Wan'er never stopped cursing her fourth brother.

What smelly fourth brother, bad fourth brother and so on.

Cursing out of her mouth is like a common occurrence.

+ + + + +
"You are the new Master Niu? Who am I? It turned out to be you. Why did you change your surname? It's the same as your cousin's?" Only then did I know who the new master book was.

The new Chief Registrar, whose original name was Chu Fan, was in his twenties, the same age as Li Chongyuan's elder brother, Li Chongyuan Ji.

At this time, Chu Fan was called Niu Fan.

This person is Niu Xiu Niu Jinda's cousin.

once.

Li Chongyuan also met this Niu Fan in Chang'an City, but his name was Chu Fan at that time.

Two years later.

Changing his identity, he was called Niu Fan, and he also became the director of Hu County. This really opened Li Chongyuan's eyes to this Niu Fan in front of him.

Niu Fan looked at Li Chongyuan, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Magistrate Li, I am also under the care of my cousin, so I was appointed as the chief secretary of Hu County."

"I understand, I understand, since we are all from our own family, and our family does not speak two different languages, from now on, I have to trouble Brother Fan for the matter in Hu County. By the way, I came here this time for a purpose It’s a matter, look, it’s written by the Holy Majesty, you can handle it for me later, and from now on, this Niu Shou Mountain will be named Li.” Li Chongyuan also stopped being polite to Niu Fan.

The relationship between Niu Jinda and the Li family is not bad.

after all.

Niu Jinda is a general. He was once a courtier with Li Chongyuan's father, and even stirred meals in the same ladle.

This relationship is much better than Cheng Yaojin's.

Li Chongyuan's father.

Although he is a civil official, he has the character of a warrior in his bones.

What's more, he and Niu Jinda have fought against guns and been on the battlefield.

As soon as Li Chongyuan said this, Niu Fan immediately patted Li Chongyuan on the shoulder like a brother, "Let me just say, even if you Li Chongyuan became the county magistrate of this Hu County, you still have to call me brother, let's go!" , you finally came here today, I can't let you go."

With this level of relationship, Li Chongyuan's visit to Hu County this time can be considered complete.

And this time.

Following Li Chongyuan and Niu Fan into the third hall.

Not far away, an official came out from a corner, looking at Li Chongyuan's disappearing back with hatred.

This person is none other than Zhongji, the former magistrate of Nahu county.

Zhong Ji looked at the direction of Santang bitterly, from his eyes, he wished he could eat Li Chongyuan.

Think of last year.

In order to have both sides, he also specially gave Li Chongyuan a gift, and even sent a steward to show his favor.

Unexpectedly.

Everything changed so fast.

The former county lieutenant has become the county magistrate.

Although it is only a temporary post of county magistrate, it is still a county magistrate.

Whether it was a gift given in the past, or as shown, until now, I have not received anything.

How could Zhong Ji be reconciled this time.

Duan Zhi's downfall was so fast that he almost fell into a quagmire.

Fortunately, things turned around and he was able to withdraw.

Unexpectedly.

His uncle, however, was deprived of the post of Wannian County Magistrate by the Holy Majesty.

Moreover, it was because Li Chongyuan's matter was taken away, which made Zhong Ji hate Li Chongyuan to the bone.

Without the care and help of my uncle.

It can be said that it will be difficult for Zhong Ji to move forward in this officialdom, like walking on thin ice.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have looked at Li Chongyuan's leaving back so bitterly.

And this time.

Wan'er has already arrived at Li Zhuang.

As soon as Wan'er arrived in Lizhuang, after searching all the time, she didn't see her fourth brother.

"Where is my fourth brother? Where has he gone?" Wan'er failed to find her fourth brother, so she had to catch Qiao Su and question her.

Qiao Su, who was caught at the moment, also had darkened eyes and was confused, "What's the matter with you, little lady? Xiao Langjun went to Chang'an yesterday and hasn't returned. According to reason, Xiao Lang should return It’s right in Chang’an.”

Qiao Su respected and feared Wan'er in front of him.

Respect, of course, because she is the host.

I'm afraid it's because she's afraid Wan'er will cause trouble.

Just this little girl, if she really wants to make a fuss, no one can stop her.

Even if Qiao Su beat him up hard, he didn't dare to speak more.

After Wan'er heard the words, she frowned, looking thoughtful.

immediately.

She took a servant and got into the carriage. Just as she was about to leave Lizhuang, a carriage entered Lizhuang.

When Wan'er saw the carriage, without saying a word, she jumped out of her own carriage and ran over, "Fourth brother, you are too bad, you promised to wait for me yesterday, but today you run faster than a rabbit."

Li Chongyuan in the carriage felt dizzy when he heard the sound from outside.

What I promised at my home yesterday was just a slip of the tongue.

Unexpectedly.

This girl has chased after Li Zhuang, and it seems that this is a state of not giving up until she achieves her goal.

Li Chongyuan, who got out of the carriage, glared at the girl, and waved to Qiao Su who was not far away, "Old Qiao, this is the land deed, please keep it for me, and start recruiting tomorrow, the more people the better, Clear Niu Shou Mountain for me as soon as possible."

Qiao Su took over the title deed, but was at a loss again.

But when he saw the words on the land deed, he was so startled that he almost dropped his crutches, "Little Lang, is Niushou Mountain really ours from now on?"

"Fourth brother, did you really buy Niu Shou Mountain?" Wan'er on the other side looked at Li Chongyuan happily after hearing what the two said.

Li Chongyuan said with a villainous look: "Of course, what I want to do with your fourth brother, there is something I can't do, don't talk about Niu Shoushan, even if it is your fourth brother, I want Zhongnanshan, That is also available, hahahaha."

Li Chongyuan, who had finished laughing, told Qiao Su again: "Tomorrow you take a hundred guan and send it to the county government. This is the money to buy Niu Shou Mountain."
