Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 129 Follow me to Longmen Fort

Fan Zheng picked up the teacup on the table and said with a smile: "Is this my condition? It's not difficult to achieve. It depends on whether you are willing or not, Brother Liu."

"Brother Fan, as long as you can solve the cement problem for me, let alone one condition, I will agree to ten." Liu Wenqing said firmly.

"The condition is very simple, that is, mortgage one-third of your land to me. As long as you give me the land, not only will I not ask you for a copper coin, but I will also send you the cement to Pingyang Mansion for free."

As soon as Fan Zheng finished speaking, Liu Wenqing jumped up. His eyes widened and he pointed at Fan Zheng incredulously, "What? What are you talking about? You want one-third of my land? Are you kidding me? "

"Where am I joking with you? What I said is true."

Liu Wenqing looked at Fan Zheng's calm expression, and cursed secretly: "I'm going to the ancestors, this is not just taking advantage of the fire, it's open robbery at all."

Even though I said that, people had to bow their heads under the eaves. The bandits were about to come to Shanxi. If they didn't build the village by then, they would be looted by the bandits.

But if the land is given away, wouldn't it be a pity to sell the land to the grandfather?These lands have been the property of the Liu family for hundreds of years, and it would be a shame to the ancestors to sell even an acre of land.

Liu Wenqing sat down on the chair again, with an uncertain expression on his face.

Fan Zheng sipped his tea.

To be honest, Fan Zheng was not worried that Liu Wenqing would disagree.

Others didn't know Liu Wenqing well, but Fan Zheng knew him very well.

Although Liu Wenqing loves money, he loves his own life even more.

Especially since he also has a nephew who is on duty in the palace.

Now, his nephew has made quite a name in the palace.

And Liu Wenqing is the only relative of his nephew, so every year he can get a lot of things from his nephew.

The one-third of the land that Fan Zheng wanted seemed a lot, but to Liu Wenqing, it was just that.

Liu Wenqing also has a way to get back the one-third of the land that needs to be left within half a year.

With the name of his nephew, those lands are almost at hand.

In the past few years, the drought has continued, the grain production has decreased, and the grain grown is getting less and less every year.Naturally, the benefits are getting lower year by year.

Although many of the world in Liu Wenqing's hands are good paddy fields, there are also many dry lands.

Nowadays, the value of dry land is not as good as every year. Instead of wasting it in his own hands, it is better to give it to Fan Zheng in exchange for cement.

Liu Wenqing kept thinking about it, and after a long time, he said, "One-third of the land is really too much, how about one-sixth?"

"One-sixth? You want to replace cement with one-sixth? Is that impossible?"

"What about a fifth?"

"A minimum of one quarter, otherwise there will be no discussion."

"Okay, then a quarter!" Liu Wenqing patted the table and said loudly.

Fan Zheng put down his teacup and said, "Well, follow me to Longmen Fort tomorrow. The cement is produced there."

"Row!"

……

The night was sultry, and the entire garrison was full of joy.

The front yard of the Garrison Mansion was already filled with tables, and countless servants were busy among them.

Zhao Wen was standing at Li Xiaoying's door, patting the door with a smile on his face.

"Xiaoying, come out, it's so lively tonight, why don't you come out?" Zhao Wen said with a smile on his face, holding a gold hairpin in his hand.

"Hmph, what am I going out for? I'm not married to you, so I won't go out." Li Xiaoying's aggrieved and angry voice came from the room.

Zhao Wen touched the tip of his nose, and said with embarrassment: "What happened today is just a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding. Come out for a while, and see what I bought for you? Come out and have a look."

Zhao Wen gently shook the gold hairpin in his hand, making a pleasant sound.

"If I don't go out, I just won't go out." Li Xiaoying said angrily.

"If you don't come out, then open the door for me. If you don't go out, I'll go in." Zhao Wentian said indifferently with a straight face.

"I won't open it for you. If you don't give me an explanation for what happened today, I won't go out."

"You won't let me in, how can I explain to you?"

"I do not care."

"Hey, I don't believe it yet." Zhao Wen rolled up his sleeves, spit on his hands, and leaned directly on the door.

"Huh, drink!"

Zhao Wen took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, and leaned directly towards the door.

At this moment, the door was opened from the inside.

Although Li Xiaoying was very angry about what happened today, she believed that it was not Zhao Wen's fault.

No matter how stupid Li Xiaoying was, it was impossible not to see the strangeness in today's incident.

Besides, Li Xiaoying is also a person who understands the general situation and knows how to measure.

Because of a trivial matter, it's okay to quarrel with Zhao Wen, and it can even add a lot of fun to the boring life.

But if you don't know how to measure and don't know how to advance and retreat, then you are suspected of being arrogant.

Li Xiaoying, who is familiar with poetry and books, knows that doing so is not a long-term solution at all.

Li Xiaoying looked at Zhao Wen who was leaning over with a dazed expression, and let out a cry.

Zhao Wen didn't have time to react, and he lay on Li Xiaoying's body directly, and the two of them fell to the ground together.

Fortunately, there is a carpet on the floor, otherwise, it would be really unbearable.

Li Xiaoying was lying on the ground, Zhao Wen was lying on Li Xiaoying's body, his right hand was still on Li Xiaoying's chest.

Li Xiaoying looked at Zhao Wen's right hand and said coquettishly, "Ah, what are you doing? Get up quickly."

Zhao Wen looked at his right hand with embarrassment, and hurriedly stood up from the ground.

"Didn't you say you won't open the door?" Zhao Wen rubbed his hands and said with a sneer.

Li Xiaoying stood up from the ground, patted her clothes, and gave Zhao Wen a blank look, "Do I dare not open the door for the guard?"

"Xiaoying, what are you talking about? What do you think it is?" Zhao Wen smiled and took out the gold hairpin from his bosom.

As soon as Li Xiaoying saw the gold hairpin in Zhao Wen's hand.Laughing eyes are narrowed.

"How do you know that I like this Golden Butterfly Cicada Wing Hairpin?" Li Xiaoying snatched the gold hairpin from Zhao Wen, and said excitedly.

This gold hairpin was originally the treasure of the jewelry shop outside Longmen Fort, Li Xiaoying liked this gold hairpin for a long time.However, after seeing the price of this golden hairpin, I was reluctant to buy it.

Now that Longmen Fort is in the midst of waste, the cost of silver is very high, and every tael of silver has to be accounted for before spending. Li Xiaoying is reluctant to buy such an expensive hairpin.

Zhao Wen chuckled, glanced at Zhao Xiaoni who was standing outside the door and peeking in secretly, and said with a smile, "Who am I? How can I not know you? Isn't it just a few hundred taels of silver? I bought it for you."

"However, this hairpin is too expensive. Our Longmen Castle's silver is hard to come by. Isn't it a bit too wasteful to buy this hairpin?" Li Xiaoying looked at the hairpin longingly, and said weakly.

Zhao Wen patted his chest and said with a smile, "Who am I? I'm the guard of Longmen Fort. If I'm poor, no one can be poor for my own wife, right?"

Li Xiaoying said coquettishly: "Who is your wife, shameless, I haven't married you yet."

Zhao Wen chuckled, and said: "Sooner or later, I have to get married, that's enough, the gold hairpin is also accepted, so come with me, I won't be able to eat well without you at the factory."

As Zhao Wen spoke, he took Li Xiaoying's slender hand and walked outside.

Zhao Xiaoni kicked her short legs and followed closely behind the two of them.

Zhao Daniu, Song Hu, Wang Qi, Liu Wu, Li Xiaosan and others lay on the moon gate in front of the courtyard, looking in Zhao Wen's direction eagerly.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I always thought that our lords are people who talk about each other, but I didn't expect that we are afraid of our wives." Zhao Daniu laughed dumbly.

"What do you know, our lord is a rare wife, how can your lord's realm be understood by a rascal like you?" Li Xiaosan said with a look of disgust.

Song Hu looked at Zhao Wen and Li Xiaoying who were coming towards this side, and hurriedly said: "Here we come, my lord is here, retreat quickly!"

As soon as Song Hu finished speaking, a group of people ran away in a hurry.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Wen sat at the head of the banquet, and Li Xiaoying sat next to him.

But Wu Keshan was arranged by Zhao Wen in his lower position, and Hai Lanzhu was next to Wu Keshan, sitting between Wu Keshan and Zhao Wen.

In addition to Zhao Daniu and others, as well as Wu Keshan and Hai Lanzhu, the people who came here tonight also included officers at all levels in the Longmen Army from the small banner officer to the top, civilian officials represented by Liu Wenzhong, and workers represented by Wang Liuqi. .

These people sat together in their own circle, chatting and bragging.

"Haha, we won't go home if we don't get drunk today." Zhao Wen picked up the wine glass, drank it down, and said boldly.

Everyone also hurriedly picked up their wine glasses and said loudly: "If you don't get drunk, you won't return!"
