Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 23 Meet Wang Lin

After understanding the situation, Sun Xiangfu showed everyone the conscript order that Li Wenxian had just handed over to him.

"The daily supply is [-] catties of eel, [-] catties of loach, and [-] catties of other fish of various colors, which is more than double the original amount." After reading the order, everyone looked a little puzzled.

"Why, with our current fishing capacity, it is difficult to get [-] catties of fish a day?" Sun Xiangfu asked in surprise.

Such a large yamen, with dozens of people, is in charge of twelve large ponds, and if the small ponds are useless, if you can't even get [-] catties of fish a day, then it's a bit unreasonable.

"It's the time when the autumn fish are plump, so it's not difficult. It's just that the requisition order doesn't specify a date. If it becomes a routine, it will be troublesome in winter."

These old officials who have been in the yamen for a long time really think a lot, Guanzhong is cold in winter, not to mention the ponds, even the Yellow River and the Weishui are frozen. With the fishing technology at this time, it is extremely difficult to catch a large amount of fish in winter, but However, this was not a problem for Sun Xiangfu. He waved his hand immediately and said, "Since fishing is not difficult at this time, let's organize people to fish as usual. As for the future, let's talk about it later! This order may not be fulfilled." become the norm."

Since the chief officer said so, the subordinate officials naturally did not say much. A fishing team composed of Xiong Tingzhong, nine fishermen, and two boatmen immediately took shape and went to Niutouchi where there were more fish. Then, the others Several officials also took their own people to their posts. In the end, only Sun Xiangfu and Huang Xuan, the old and the young, were left in the Fisheries Department.

Naturally, Sun Xiangfu and Huang Xuan had nothing to talk about. After asking what the room in the yamen was for, when to go to the yamen, and when to eat, Sun Xiangfu left the yamen in the name of inspecting various pools.

"I didn't expect it to be so easy to be an official. You don't need to click every day, and you don't need to do everything yourself. Just pass on a word and let your subordinates complete the errands assigned by your superiors." Uncle set up a table of food and wine, and talked while eating.

In fact, such a phenomenon is common in modern society. The people who work are always the top people and the bottom people. The group of people in the middle is usually just a microphone to convey the will of the top people.

"That's why everyone wants to be an official."

Uncle De took a bite of the fragrant twice-cooked pork, and took a sip of the wine. He loves drinking and chatting with Sun Xiangfu the most. Instill his own views on the world, and Sun Xiangfu often uses a surprised expression to express his amazement at what he said, and never refute. This kind of superiority of showing off his IQ in front of the country boy makes Uncle De very proud .

"If they can bring back the fish that the palace needs during this period of time, I will be happy to be free, and I can go back to the village for a few days." What Sun Xiangfu is thinking about is still the crops in the field. It is a compromise for his survival in this era, and researching crops is his hobby.

"It's okay, why don't you keep thinking about going back to the village. It's good to be in the Qin Mansion. Wouldn't it be nice to have something to eat and drink?" Uncle De saw that Sun Xiangfu was thinking about going back, the boss was unwilling to say, if Sun Xiangfu went back Well, who will cook these delicacies for him!You know, Aunt Meng, who just learned a few dishes from Sun Xiangfu, now enters the emperor's imperial dining room with her head up.

The ancients were so lacking in innovative spirit. At that time, Sun Xiangfu passed on a few dishes to Aunt Meng, and she still knew those dishes. Even the restaurants in Chang’an City only introduced a few dishes that were not very good because of the iron pot. Stir-fried vegetables have led to the high price of rice field eels and loaches, while pork has slowly increased in price because it has become popular in Jiangmen circles. Pork is cheap, which has been a long-standing tradition before this era, and it cannot be broken in a short time.

"Drinking and eating meat to grow fat is your ideal, not mine. I have loved to play with crops since I was a child. Without them, I feel uneasy." Sun Xiangfu said so, and Uncle De didn't refute or accuse him, he just liked Sun The simple temperament in Xiangfu's body.

After Uncle De left, Sun Deshou and Sun Xiaomei happily came to collect the bowls and chopsticks. Just now they heard that their eldest brother said that they were going back to the village, and their mood suddenly improved a lot. In the high-walled courtyard of the Qin family, they always felt Uncomfortable, unable to dig earthworms and feed the fish with their friends, they all feel that they have become useless people, and they don't want to live a life of sitting in the house in a daze except for eating.

"Brother, it's better to be in the village. Everyone eats together. There is endless work and things to do. I feel that my life is very meaningful every day. I dare not leave the hospital here for fear of ruining the big family. The rules." Sun Deshou took the heat to hit the railway.

Beside him, the younger sister also looked at him expectantly. Now, the village has no shortage of food and is full of vitality every day, but it is more suitable for children to live in.

"Wait for two days! When things here are on the right track, I'll go back to the village for a while." Sun Xiangfu patted his sister's head and said.

"But it's too boring here, and there's nothing to do." Sun Deshou complained with a pouted mouth, and the little girl in Sun Xiangfu's arms also made the same expression as him.

"How about I take you out to play." Sun Xiangfu thought for a while.

"Okay, okay, we came here as soon as we entered the city, and we didn't take a good stroll in the city!"

It is a child's nature to love to play. His younger brother is only nine years old, and his younger sister is only seven years old. It should be the time to play carelessly. Therefore, Sun Xiangfu changed into casual clothes, took them both, and went to the streets of Chang'an.

People shopping in this period have almost no choice but to go to the east and west cities. The east city is closer to the imperial city and more prosperous. The three brothers and sisters Sun Xiangfu came to the streets of the east city in a short while. I bought a maltose man for my younger brother and younger sister, went to the female red shop, bought some red rope wrapped around my sister's head, and leather boots from the shoe and hat store. Sun Xiangfu also bought him an animal fur hat, and then went to a shop selling accessories, and bought a silver hair flower for the younger sister, which made her laugh from ear to ear all afternoon.

Walking down a circle, I spent a lot of money and had a lot of things on hand, so I had to go back home for the time being. When passing by the Xinxiang Building near the street, Sun Xiangfu felt a gaze staring at him, so he looked at the buildings along the street. Look, sure enough, at a window on the third floor of the restaurant facing the street, a white-faced nobleman about [-] years old was looking down at him. Before Sun Xiangfu could figure out the situation, a man dressed as a servant came to him He clasped his fists in front of him and said, "It's Sun Jiancheng from the Animal Husbandry Supervision Office! My son is here to invite you."

"Who is your son?" Sun Xiangfu has a natural dislike for men who are more beautiful than women. Obviously, whoever is upstairs is that.

"Taiyuan Wang, the eldest son Wang Lin."

Hearing that it was the Taiyuan Wang family, Sun Xiangfu was alarmed. The seven clans and five surnames were not easy to mess with. He only sought Li Shimin's protection after he brushed off his face before. Could it be that they dared to turn against the emperor over a mere fish business?

"Can I not see you?" Sun Xiangfu asked depressedly.

"No, my son said, if you don't come, I will beat you, you know what to do."

"Did he dare to beat the court officials in the street?"

"Imperial official? It sounds very powerful. However, some time ago, several sons of the Duke's family were beaten by my son at the same time. Their official ranks are all higher than yours."

"Uh, well, see you later, he won't eat me anyway, but my younger siblings..."

"Don't worry, they'll just wait on the first floor. If you're hungry, you can order whatever you want from Xinxianglou."

"That's not bad."

After all, Sun Xiangfu comforted his younger siblings for a while, and then followed the servant up to the third floor of Xinxiang Building.

When Sun Xiangfu entered the room, which noble son was still looking at the scenery outside the window with his hands behind his back, but unfortunately Sun Xiangfu is a layman, and he couldn't tolerate him being so aggressive in front of him, so he asked him when he entered the door, "This prince, What do you want me to do? If it’s business, talk to the fishery department later. We didn’t know each other before, so there is no personal matter, so I’ll see you later.”

"If you dare to leave this room without my permission, the guards outside the door will hack you to death." The young master still didn't turn around, but just said coldly.

"Uh, we don't know each other, so why bother calling for beatings and killings! Besides, I see that your bones are amazing. You must be a dragon and a phoenix among people. It doesn't look like killing innocent people." When his life was threatened, Sun Xiangfu His attitude changed immediately, and he said quickly in a somewhat funny tone.

"Hehe, you guessed wrong. I just like to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Unfortunately, you are not innocent now, so I can't kill you casually."

"Not innocent? Young Master, what do you mean?" Sun Xiangfu was a little confused.

"Because you chose to join the emperor and oppose our family." Having said that, Wang Lin turned around and looked at Sun Xiangfu in that condescending manner.

"You want to rebel?" Sun Xiangfu asked subconsciously.

"You are really stupid. Don't you know that there is only a thousand-year-old family, not a thousand-year dynasty. Therefore, being the emperor is not the ultimate goal of our family's children, and you stupidly chose to be the emperor's lackey." Lin sneered and shook his head.

"I hear what you mean, but I still want to rebel! I'm a small farmer. I'm loyal to the country and the emperor. What's wrong?" Sun Xiangfu wondered. Those who are loyal to the emperor are lackeys. ah!Oh no, against Tang and Sui?
"If it was an ordinary time, there is nothing wrong with being loyal to the emperor. However, after our family asked you to cooperate with us according to the rules, if you strictly rejected us and took refuge in the emperor, then there is something wrong with you. People like you are bad for our family. Those who have opinions are our potential threats. We will not allow people like you to enter the court. Therefore, if you were not only the emperor's retainer, you would have capsized and died on the way to Chang'an to take office. "

As soon as Wang Lin said this, cold sweat broke out on Sun Xiangfu's vest. He knew early on that the aristocratic families of this period were not easy to mess with, but he still underestimated their power. The insecurity in this world is not only because of being an official Instead of decreasing, it aggravated.

　I found that if you don’t ask, it’s really easy for you to forget, so yes, I ask for recommendations and collections. . .Shamelessly asking for a reward. . .
