Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 200 Xu Qing Landlord
Wanshan is red all over, Xu Qing stepped out of the city for the last time before winter, feeling the bleakness of all things withered, it seems that there is a kind of wind blade of life blowing through the heart, distressed and reluctant, uncomfortable and attached.

Withered vines, old trees and crows, Xu Qing returned to Cangzhou City on a thin horse when the city was at dusk and the sun was setting.

In summer, there are several ice workshops in the city, but after late autumn, all of them are closed for the night.After Xu Qing made Mala Tang that day, the four daughters in the family were all hooked.They have never eaten chili, and Xu Qingdang's ingredients are very high-quality, so it is the best food for those who like to eat clear soup.

Not only that, Huang Shimei and Xiaoyue quickly discussed at the dinner table how to open a shop to make money.

Xu Qing asked very speechlessly: "Why do you still bother to do those things? Don't you have enough money at home?"

Unexpectedly, the two of them gave a blank look: "My surname is Xu, what do you think your few taels of silver are for me? I don't know how much the house spends for a day!"

Xu Qing was sweating profusely. After all, he was also a person with a "monthly salary" of over [-].However, he didn't know anything about the family's income, so he didn't have the nerve to refute the second daughter, and asked weakly: "What income does our family have?"

Seeing that Xu Qing was wronged, Xun Xueer couldn't understand it, and said something fair: "Brother Xu, you don't need to ask about this, our family also has several storefronts and manors here in Cangzhou, and the expenses at home are actually not that big... "

Xu Qing hugged Xun Xue'er and said, "It's still the eldest wife who treats me well, woo woo woo..."

Xun Xueer smiled and said, "But, Xu Lang..."

Xu Qing asked in confusion, "But what?"

"Xu Lang, the expenses in the mansion are not too much, but they can be said to be less. You can save a penny today and spend an extra penny tomorrow. It's a steady stream of money. Isn't your [-] copper coins a month a little too much?" ?”

When the other two daughters heard that Xu Qing's pocket money was going to be cut, they stood together with Xun Xue'er again. Xu Qing hurriedly hugged her arms and said nervously: "No matter how little, no matter how little I go out, I won't look like an official anymore. , can only be compared with beggars for wealth."

"Hmph," the third girl snorted softly, and when she was about to go around Xu Qing softly, Xu Qi said quietly: "That day, Xu Qing saw a beautiful little girl on the street, and gave her five cents in one go!"

"Hiss..." Xu Qing gasped, and he said to Xu Qi, "Don't spread rumors, where did I give you money?"

"Huh?" The three women looked at Xu Qing at the same time, with disbelief on their faces, and looked at Xu Qi, um, they would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go.

The atmosphere suddenly became cold, and Xu Qing couldn't hold it anymore, so he said: "3 Big sisters, I gave money, but I didn't think she was beautiful, that girl was only seven years old, and she was skinny, I thought she was pitiful, so I don't care about her." Give her money."

After hearing the explanation, the third daughter was not relieved but said angrily: "Seven years old? How do you know so clearly!"

"What a crime!" Xu Qing thought to himself, why did I mention that she was seven years old? Didn't I want to make it more authentic? He looked at Xu Qi and said, "Xu Qi, when I was in Shandong, that's how I brought you back. Is it!"

Xu Qi pursed her lips, looked at the three girls and shook her head: "No, Xu Qing bought me because of my beauty."

After hearing this, the three girls subconsciously glanced at Xu Qi's flat chest, and remembered one of Xu Qing's hobbies, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Xu Qing: "Okay, okay, let's let it go this time." is you……"

Huang Shimei said even more meanly: "Xu Qing, you don't pay enough money, the little girl is so pitiful..."

"Yes, yes, see you next time, give me a few more, and we will replenish you when you come back! Do more good deeds..."

Xu Qing was at a loss again, just nodded and said, it's not easy for wives to manage housework, and young ones dare not spend money recklessly.Xu Qi was the one who didn't understand the reason the most. She thought in her little head, if she failed to trick Xu Qing this time, why did she seem to help him?

Therefore, the matter of Malatang was handled in this way. Because Xu Qing disliked that it was not spicy enough, and the fourth daughter's feeling for spicy food was limited to "ginger onion", Malatang changed its name and changed its name to "Chuanchuanxiang".

Chuan Chuan Xiang is not as popular as shaved ice.People who eat shaved ice are like summer, with enthusiasm, even if they live thirty miles away, they still have to go to Cangzhou City to eat a bowl!And people who eat skewers are as late as winter, slowly passing by, and seeing them, hey, eat a skewer!
After the autumn harvest, the "Xingnong" matter could no longer be used to avoid litigation.The county magistrates of the four counties are all very busy, the cattle in the east, the garlic in the west, the waterways in the north village, and the Potang in the south village.Except for Qin Shi's occasional meal, the other three only had monthly letters.

Niu grazing, Wang Shan, Chu Jiang, and Qi Tai came more often. Now Cangzhou is relatively peaceful, and there is no need to maintain such a high number of soldiers.Xu Qing didn't recruit any more soldiers, but instead demoted the state soldiers and turned them into united soldiers.They have fewer soldiers, so naturally they have nothing to do, so they come here every now and then to drink and reminisce about the old days.Fortunately, Xu Qing doesn't drink alcohol himself, so he can throw them home before midnight every time.

Xiao Ru, Xu Qing's first maidservant, now married as a woman, has become a woman who eats grass, becoming more and more plump.She would drink tea with all the daughters of Xu Qing's family every now and then, and every time she talked, she always kept Xu Qing far away.Soon, Xu Qing heard from Xiaoyue that Xiaoru was pregnant.

Of course, when Xiaoyue talked about this, her face was full of resentment. Both she and Xu Qing had been pregnant for two months, but the friend who came every month was right.Xu Qing was also very helpless, every time he went to the deepest point, so he worked so hard, why didn't he get hit once!

When Xun Xueer was pregnant, she didn't know a little about protection measures, so she worked hard for more than half a year.It won't take that long again this time, will it?
Xu Qing told Xiaoyue, come on, let's not come here every day for the sake of our children, maybe we just come here casually, and we will win instead...

Hmph, I think you just miss Xueer and Shimei, I don’t understand you, aren’t we all the same, Xueer’s is bigger, Shimei’s is smaller, what’s the difference!Anyway, it makes you feel good...

Xu Qing was sweating profusely and hurriedly said that you don't understand what you don't understand.

Xun Xiaoer went home, and Xun Yeyu and Gouzi had the best time playing together, going wild on the street every day, hula la come, hula la go.Gouzi is very clever and has "money" in his hands, so among these children in Cangzhou City, he is a figure who calls the wind and rain, and is a child king.Xun Yeyu was with him, and it was very beautiful, and he got a second king's seat.

Gouzi is a good person, so Xu Qing is happy to see Xun Yeyu as a scourge.

On the day of the quarterly exam, Gouzi's younger brother Roe Zi made a wish, making Gouzi a regular worker and entering the establishment, so he can no longer play with him.Without the eldest brother, Xu Qing did not allow him to say that he was the governor's brother-in-law outside, so the second brother could not become the second brother, and the past was like wind.

I went to play with Xu Qi, but was kicked out and scolded as "childish".

Seeing that Xun Yeyu was depressed every day, Xu Qing had no choice but to make a windmill or a kite and teach him how to fly it, so he regained his vitality.

Ever since Song Shoujie was included in the category of personal disciples by Xu Qing, there was not a single day that he did not come to pay his respects.Xu Qing also went to his house to see it, and it was really desolate.So he spent money, packed up a house in Cangzhou City, and settled down.After his father recovered from his illness, he was arranged to work in the Changping warehouse as a "rat catcher".

Every time he visits, Song Shoujie always brings a load of firewood. If there is no firewood, it must be a fish.

The dark river in Yang Cheng and Yang Xin's hands has undergone another expansion, and each has a centurion in his hand.The number of people under the poisonous scorpion has not increased. The key is that she recruits people too harshly. She must be a woman who has been bullied and full of despair. She uses anger as poison and revenge as a dove.

To say that the ones with the greatest lethality are the dozen or so poisonous women under the poisonous scorpion.Xu Qing has seen her several times, and judging by the complexion of those poisonous women, they are also at the delicate level. If they dress up a bit, they are at least a hundred times stronger than their sisters.However, Xu Qing almost changed his orientation after seeing those poisonous women who could swallow scorpions and spit centipedes.

Whether it's sneaking in or assassinating these poisonous women, they are hard to guard against, especially for men.Even Xu Qing couldn't figure out why the poisonous scorpion was so loyal to him with such a powerful strength.

Xu Qing thought about it, maybe it was because Yang Cheng and Yang Xin were not weak?Perhaps because of the sad past of Poison Scorpion, she no longer has expectations for this world, no matter who she is under, let alone Xu Qing, who is a very good master.

The two hundred assassination teams in Yang Cheng and Yang Xin's hands are at least one-to-five, which is equivalent to a thousand-man army by his side at any time.Not everyone would dare to offend Xu Qing, and he still had a feeling that with these 200 people in hand, he could almost have a confrontation with a big family.

Speaking of the aristocratic family, after Xu Qing cleaned up the aristocratic family in Cangzhou, he has not been able to exert a greater influence to shake the status of the aristocratic family in Hebei.

It’s just that with the example of commercial prosperity here in Cangzhou, it will surely form a radiation effect, changing everyone’s relationship between “agriculture” and “business” from the level of understanding.At that time, even if the farming-based family still has economic strength, they will no longer be able to use land to influence national politics.

If you want Cangzhou to get rich, three business routes have been quietly paved.

The first short distance is from Shandong, Youzhou and Cangzhou. This is a distribution of materials between regions. The profit is small, but it can affect more ordinary people.

The second is the caravan led by Manid, from Cangzhou to the Central Plains, as well as Bashu, Huguang, Suzhou and Hangzhou.This road connects the output of all parts of China, the longest route and the most extensive influence.

The first one is from Cangzhou to Bohai, and then from Bohai to Dahe clan and Goguryeo, which in turn affects Silla, Baekje, Turks and even Dongyang.This one-day road is the main source of material exchange between the Central Plains and grasslands, and it is also the most profitable one-day road.

With the paving of these three roads, Xu Qing has completed the business reform from zero to one, and the subsequent effects of these three roads, that is, from one to one hundred, can only be promoted by time.

It's a pity that time doesn't seem to want Xu Qing to complete this honor from one to one hundred, or to say that he doesn't want Xu Qing to spend a winter of doing nothing.

Riding Juechen to Cangzhou, no one knew that it was an imperial decree.

"Master Xu, Your Majesty calls you to return to Beijing before next March..."
