Disastrous year!Before the whole family is wiped out, a little blessing falls from the sky!

He Xiong was impatient to waste time with him, so he stood up to say goodbye, then left the yamen and went straight to the city gate.

In the woods outside the city gate, two hundred soldiers were leading their horses to graze, waiting for He Xiong to join...

In Taiji Village, Mr. Tai didn't know that his "reinforcements" had arrived. He was drinking tea and chatting with several guests who came unexpectedly.

Previously, there were only carriages lingering on the dirt road outside the village. When villagers came up to ask questions, the carriages would leave.

But as the corn stalks in the field became more and more golden and nearly half withered, people who couldn't bear it finally began to visit us.

For example, the three people in front of me are all wealthy squires in the city.

They are obviously interested in the corn in the fields and want to plant it on a large scale next year, but they don't want to exchange it for a high price yet, so they don't listen to what they say.

"Mr. Tai, I heard that corn is very picky and laborious! After planting corn, the yield of other crops will be reduced!" A squire with a goatee spoke in an exaggerated tone, looking like a Tai family. He looked like he had suffered a big loss.

Another wealthy country squire also agreed, "Yes, corn is not as good as sorghum. At least we have been growing sorghum for many years and we are familiar with everything! Is this corn a new thing? I heard it is a seed shipped from the south? Then Can things from the south be planted in the north? It’s impossible!”

The third squire was smarter. Seeing Mr. Tai with his eyes drooping and clicking the pipe and pot, he smiled and smoothed things over and said, "You two brothers don't have to worry so much. After all, Mr. Tai has already planted it here, and it looks pretty good." . I just don’t know what it will be like to continue planting next year!”

The other two caught his eye and began to look back to make amends.

Goatee replied, "That's exactly what I'm worried about. In this way, after the autumn harvest, I will exchange sorghum for corn seeds and help the old man share the two thousand kilograms. If there is a problem with the corn, the old man will lose less."

The rich man immediately said, "Me too, I will help the old man share the three thousand jins."

The third squire was afraid that he would not get any advantage, so he quickly smiled and said, "My family has a lot of land and harvests a lot of sorghum. I will share the five thousand catties."

"Oh, no, my family has a lot of land, so I will also share the five thousand catties." Goatee repented, and the rich squire quickly followed, "Yes, I also have five thousand catties!"

The three of them started to fight over each other as they talked, completely forgetting that this was the Tai family, and that Mr. Tai had not agreed.

It was obvious that they didn't take the Tai family seriously at all, as if being able to come and say something today was already their greatest sincerity and respect.

Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong looked bad when they heard this, and looked at their father from time to time. As long as his father said a word, they could throw these people out immediately.

Fortunately, Tai Jiye brought Yong'an into the city, otherwise the uncle and nephew would have taken action immediately and would not have tolerated it at all.

Mr. Tai didn't seem angry at all. He knocked the pot on the table with his pipe.

The three squires looked over and realized that the Tai family had not spoken at all. The three of them were a little embarrassed, but there was no fear in their expressions.

Mr. Tai said calmly, "The three gentlemen came to our door today. It turned out that they thought our Tai family had encountered difficulties and came to help! That's not necessary, because our family doesn't need anyone to help share the corn. !
“I don’t know how many people in and outside the city rushed to buy it, let alone exchange one pound for one pound for sorghum, even one pound for five pounds, I didn’t agree!

"There is really no need for you gentlemen to worry so much. This corn is a treasure, not a burden!"

The three squires didn't expect that the old man would be so straightforward, and someone would raise the market price so high, so wouldn't their previous belittling become a joke.The faces of the three of them were all a little red. The smarter one gritted his teeth and replied with a dry smile, "I see, it's really because we worried too much. Instead of helping the old man, we actually caused him trouble. However, the old man , We have a lot of fields at home, and I really want to try this corn and change some seeds..."

Mr. Tai waved his hand to refuse before he could finish speaking.

"I'm sorry, sir, the corn seeds are so popular that almost all the corn seeds outside the village have been ordered out. Not to mention exchanging them for you, I'm afraid we don't even have enough at home!"

Goatee was annoyed when he heard this, and shouted out at that time, "Impossible, how can it be possible to order tens of thousands of kilograms of corn?

What we don’t want is much, it’s just a pound for one person, so if you give it to someone else, it’s not a trade, don’t be disrespectful! "

The well-built squire also supported with a dark face, "Yes, we are all from Tai'an. We can't meet each other without looking up. The old man can't be so unkind. And the price of five pounds to one pound is too high, I can't I heard that this thing is a cheap thing in the south, and some people feed it to pigs. A pound of sorghum for a pound of corn is pretty good!"

Tai Jizong couldn't bear it anymore and cursed, "Since it's a cheap thing in the south, why don't you go to the south to change it! Why do you come to our house and make such nonsense? Do you think our Tai family is easy to bully?"
"Hurry up and get lost! It's really a great experience. It's the first time I see someone who doesn't bow his head when asking for help, but still thinks that he is a Buddha! Who do you think is a fool? He is cheating and abducting, and he is not afraid of being struck by lightning on a rainy day if there is a god in front of him!"

"You..." The three squires had their fig leaves torn apart, and they all stood up angrily.

Unfortunately, before they could yell back, seven or eight people had already jumped in from outside the door.

It turned out that He Shan was leading three or four veterans, plus Tai Yonglu, Tai Yongyue and Chen Ruiyang who were holding slingshots, and each of them had their hands empty.

Even Zhuzhu is carrying a small wooden stick, with a fierce breast, and a sesame ball with toothy teeth next to her!

The three squires looked at this posture and knew that they would not get any benefits today, so they waved their sleeves and walked out.

"Let's go, let's not be like these mud-legged people today!"

"Yes, the Tai family is nothing more than that, they are all a bunch of idiots digging in the ground!"

They walked angrily while talking, but the big black horse and the big white horse were guarding the door, turning their lips and giving each of them a mouthful of saliva!
"Bad luck, bad luck!"

"Where did the dead horse come from!"

The three squires were so angry that they pulled up their sleeves and tried to be lazy. Unfortunately, the more they wiped their sleeves, the worse they became. I really don’t know what the two horses were eating!

Tai Yonglu, Tai Yongyue, and Chen Ruiyang who were following behind laughed so much that their stomachs ached and they almost rolled around in the yard!
At this time, a veteran came to report, "Old man, Mr. He Qian is here!"

The Tai family members were surprised, and they all went out to welcome him, and saw He Xiong arriving with a large group of people.

As soon as He Xiong got off his horse, he saw several squires with bad expressions, so he asked loudly, "Uncle, what's going on with these three people?"

The old man didn't add any fuel to the fire, and responded, "I don't know what happened, but suddenly I came to my door and wanted to exchange for several thousand kilograms of corn. I told them that I had already ordered it, but they still didn't believe it, so they made a big fuss." (End of Chapter)
