The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 178 Sincerity

"Grandpa, how could you agree to such a harsh condition? You must know that it is 50 catties of steel." After finally waiting for Wang Jie to leave, the young man said to Wang Weiyi impatiently.

Wang Weiyi glanced at his grandson and sighed: "It is the raw material of 50 jin of steel, not 50 jin of steel. There is a big difference between the two."

"That will cost a lot of money, Grandpa, what if he tricks us?"

"Calm down, Qing'er, when will you change your frizzy temperament? I brought you by my side just to let you learn more things, but in the end you are getting worse and worse!" Wang Weiwei glared. He glanced at his grandson, thought for a while, and then said to him: "This time, my Wang family made a mistake first, so it's normal to pay others something, and with the background of Xiaoyaohou, it's okay for us to suffer a little bit. Nothing."

"Background? What background does he have?" Although the young man was scolded, he didn't have any regrets, he just frowned and asked in puzzlement.

Wang Weiyi, who had negotiated the conditions with Wang Jie, seemed very happy, and was not entangled in the youth's attitude: "I can't tell you the specific things, as long as you know that Xiaoyaohou has a strong background, but if you You can think of why grandpa would say that he has a good background, and grandpa will give you a reward."

Why do you say that his background is not shallow?The young man hesitated for a moment, but quickly gave up, touched his nose and said, "Grandpa, don't embarrass me, you know I'm not good at this."

"Hey..., well, if this is the case, you should go first, and remember not to provoke those people in Shanyin County at will, or you will cause trouble, and be careful of family law!" Wang Weiyi sighed helplessly, yes He waved his hand at the embarrassed young man and drove him out of the study.

……

The population of Shanyin County is increasing, and it seems that it is about to break through the [-] households mark. If we work harder and reach [-] households, it is estimated that Shuozhou can be upgraded to another level and become Zhongzhou. At that time, the only official position of the king can be raised again, from the position of the fourth rank.

This alone is enough for Wang Weiwei to fully support Li Muyun.

Moreover, Chang'an sent news that the old guy Yu Zhining was also sent to Shanyin County by the emperor, and it seemed that he was going to be the husband of that Xiaoyao Hou. This proved in some ways that Li Muyun was in Li Shimin's heart The status in the palace is almost equal to that of the princes in the palace.

What's more, this guy Li Muyun has been up and down several times, but he still hasn't fallen. He obviously broke the taboo several times, but he survived in the end. If it is said that he has no background, who will believe it.

And such an important person is currently under his rule, which is a huge trouble in a certain way, so Wang Weiyi just wants to 'drive' this Xiaoyaohou out of his territory right now.

As for how to 'drive' him away, Wang Weiyi intends to use the same method as Han Fu - to 'carry' him away!

Of course, all of this is not a bad thing for Li Muyun. Old boss Wang believes that as long as that Xiaoyaohou is not a greedy person, his sincerity should be enough.

……

In an unnamed small village on the outskirts of Shanyin County, a small donkey cart was walking slowly. The driver was a half-grown old man, and the driver was also a half-grown old man.

The two old men seemed to be very leisurely, letting the donkey pulling the cart move forward slowly, while the two were chatting about something and nothing.

"Master, didn't you say that Shanyin County is a lower county? I don't see it right." The half-grown old man driving the car asked the half-grown old man in the car while looking around.

"Let's see, who knows if he's fooling us." The half-grown old man in the car frowned, also looking outside.

The half-grown old man driving the car smiled wryly and shook his head, thinking how foolish this thing is, a county has only so few people, how could it be possible to move into thousands of households within a few months?Now that we have just entered the county boundary, there are no less than fifty households in a village. Isn't that enough to explain the problem.

But I wanted to think about it, but the old man who drove the car didn't say it, he just kept the words in his heart.

At this moment, the door of a farmer's house in front suddenly opened, and an old man came out from inside, carrying two wooden buckets, looking as if he was going to fetch water.

"Catch up, catch up." The half-grown old man in the car saw the old man, his eyes lit up, he patted the carriage of the donkey cart and urged, as if he had found something extraordinary.

The donkey cart accelerated under his urging, and it didn't take long to reach the old man carrying two empty barrels.

In fact, the old man had already spotted them and was standing there looking at them curiously. Now that the donkey cart had stopped in front of him, he asked with a smile on his wrinkled face, "You two distinguished guests, are you looking for someone?"

The half-grown old man in the carriage poked his head out, cupped his hands at the farmer and replied, "Old friend, I'm not looking for someone, but I want to ask you a few things, I don't know if it's convenient! "

"Inquire about something." The old farmer paused: "Then you ask, if the little old man knows, I will tell you."

This little old man from the countryside is also a wink. Although the people in the car are not dressed in gorgeous clothes, their temperament is obviously different from ordinary people, and their hands on the carriage are well maintained, and they are not full of calluses like ordinary people. and dirt, so the words are much more polite, and it is completely like answering every question.

"Yeah." The person in the carriage obviously didn't know that his hand had betrayed him, he nodded and asked, "May I ask if my old friend is a native of Shanyin County?"

"Then take a look, isn't it a local?"

"But, since I'm a local, why do I see that the houses in this village are all new?" The person in the car said solemnly, pointing at the house behind the farmer, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

"You said this." The farmer was stunned for a moment, then with a strange smile on his face, he turned around and said: "To tell you the truth, this old man, although our village is newly built, but the people in the village But they are all authentic locals.”

"why?"

"It's not because of Lord Xiaoyao! If it wasn't for Lord Xiaoyao who returned the household registration documents to those of us who escaped the war back then, and sent people into the mountains to publicize and inform us, I'm afraid we are still eating grass roots deep in the mountains now." .”

The old farmer said with a smile, his face was full of happiness, without a trace of affectation, obviously this smile came from the heart, and the gratitude was also on his face, it would be quite interesting if anyone said If you are not happy, you have to work hard.

This made the half-grown old man in the carriage fall into silence. Thinking of the gossip he heard when he came out of Chang'an, and the gratitude in the eyes of the old man in front of him, he couldn't help but wonder—who should he trust?
