Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 23

"Thousands of eagles sing green and red, and Shuicun Mountain Guo wine flag winds.

In the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings were in the mist and rain. "

Xu Qing got up early in the morning and recited Du Mu's "Early Spring" imitating the posture of a great man. The momentum was so compelling that he was short of a cigarette.

"Master, your reading is like the spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. Isn't your hometown here?" Xiaoyue asked cautiously. She can read a lot of characters and is relatively educated. She should have a high status in the palace. Now she can be regarded as Xu Qing. The little housekeeper at home.

"Have you ever been to Jiangnan?" Xu Qing didn't answer.

"I am from the south of the Yangtze River... When Zhu Can proclaimed himself emperor, he took many women captive to the palace, and I was one of them, and later they were assigned to the Tang Palace..." Xiaoyue said: "Xiaoru came here in the same way. "

"Want to go home?" Xu Qing turned his head and asked.

"No, the home is gone..."

"Oh, then treat this place as your home, and it happens that I can't go back to my home..."

"Master..."

Xu Qing gate:
"That's right here, Mr. Xu's house..." Old Uncle Zheng led four people to the gate of Xu's mansion, with a worried expression on his face, but it seemed that he was not worried about Xu Qing.

"Yeah, okay, let me see what kind of hero it is..." Hu Lizheng said angrily, he was fooled by Hu Fu, thinking that someone in the Xu residence looked down on the Hu family, and brought steward Zhao and two followers to seek trouble.

"Yes, yes, I have already reported the name of the master at that time, but this young master still doesn't give face. Master Hu, although he is young, he has to be taught a lesson, right?" The person who came was Zhao who had been to Xuzhuang. Butler, he motioned for old man Zheng to report.

"Well, there happens to be a grain job above, and it needs to be sent to the north." Hu Lizheng said sternly.

At this time, old man Zheng had already reported the situation to Liu San, and Liu San had reported the situation to Xu Qing.Xu Qing ordered: "The lower official should hand over the post first when he sees the upper official, let alone Li Zheng who is not even an official!" Uncle Zheng didn't come out anymore.

The four people outside the door waited for a long while, and the person who hadn't reported the news came back and noticed the accident: "Why is this old man Zheng still not coming out? It's so hard that the Xu Mansion is still a few miles deep..."

"I think Old Man Zheng and the Xu family are discussing how much gifts to give!"

"Old Zhao, you go knock on the door again..."

Butler Zhao walked to the door, knocked on it and shouted in a long voice:
"Open the door quickly, Mr. Hu is visiting~"

"Who, did you bring a post?" Liu San came back through the door, and Xu Qing was also behind the door, dressed in a military officer's uniform, with a horizontal knife on his waist, and a group of women followed behind as servants, Xu Qi and Xun Xue Er is also counting in the number, today Xu Qing wants to enjoy the pleasure of a slap in the face.

"What a Xu family, a lowly businessman who travels all over the world, he doesn't give me face so much..." If Hu Lizheng was still looking for trouble for the reason of protecting the family before, now he is really angry, he thought to himself: It has been shut down for many years, and if this is going to spread, where is the prestige of the court?Where is my face?
"Left and right, knock on the door for me!" Hu Lizheng said impatiently.

"Here!" The two attendants found a large stone from nowhere, and wanted them to smash it empty-handed. Don't think about it, they are followers, but they are just followers. A counselor.But just when the two followers were about to knock on the door, a majestic voice came from behind the door.

"Who dares to act wild in front of the official's door?"

"Hmph, this year's spring service is here, and your Xu family will send fifty shi of food to Liangcheng, Datong..." Hu Lizheng didn't hear the words behind the door, and only thought that the people inside were replying.

"You mean, all the spring service has been assigned to this official?!" Xu Qing opened the door and walked out majesticly. Xu Qi and several maids stood

on both sides.

"You...you are an official?" Hu Li was panicking, his face uncertain.

"Bold, Mr. Xu, the eighth-rank Renyong school captain appointed by the imperial court, you dare to question if you don't kneel down?" Liu San, who was a eunuch, has a good way of scaring people, and he can't deal with Lizheng?
"Ah, it's a crime for me to offend Mr. Xu..." Hu Lizheng hurriedly knelt down, he was a temporary worker at most, he had no grade or quota, the kind who had to be careful to accompany even a small headhunter .

"He, he's a child. What kind of official is he? It must be fake..." Butler Zhao's IQ dropped for a while, no matter whether it was pretended by the kid in front of him, after all, he was wearing an official uniform, and there must be someone in his family Be an official!
"You bastard, you're getting impatient!" Hu Lizheng scolded Steward Zhao, whether it's fake or not is someone else's business, and it's none of your business to talk about crimes, but it's your fault that you insulted and slandered the court officials.

"Master Xu, you have a lot of lords, I really don't know..." Hu Lizheng said bitterly.However, Xu Qing's settlement is a document directly issued by the county. The amount of land is small, and the flow of information in ancient times is small, so Hu Lizheng really didn't know about it.

"Okay, okay, those who don't know are not guilty... I just want to go shopping, look..." Well, Xu Qing didn't intend to let these people go easily.

"Oh~~ Master Xu is going to buy something. I have a few entourages, and my feet are not bad." Hu Li smiled on the front, but scolded Xu Qing in his heart, you go shopping, just go shopping, let me see what Look?

"Oh, the oil, salt, rice and wheat prepared before winter are gone, I need to prepare some." Xu Qing didn't plan to make too much of a knife.

"Tsk tsk, Mr. Xu, I'm here, why should I trouble you? Come..." Hu Lizheng summoned an attendant, and ordered: "Go, buy rice and wheat for one stone, ten catties of sesame oil, one pack of refined salt, and the rest Money to buy some cured meat, hurry up, don't make Master Xu wait too long."

It's so good, Xu Qing thought, it's not bad.

"Hu Lizheng, what a shame..."

"I don't know if your lord didn't come to salute after taking office, I will make up for it this time, plus make up for it, hehe..."

"Okay, okay, let's not take this as an example. Since Mr. Hu is Li Zheng, you don't need me as a military officer, and the villagers have too many miscellaneous things, so you won't leave Mr. Hu to talk?" Xu Qing said, thinking that if he stayed, it was time to eat , when the time comes, please do not invite you, saying that there are really not many things at home.

"Okay, okay, let me take my leave, and I will visit you when I have free time in the future." Hu Lizheng left with Butler Zhao and his entourage as if he had been pardoned.

"Okay, goodbye..." Xu Qing watched Hu Lizheng affectionately, knowing that Hu Lizheng had disappeared, outsiders thought he was such a good friend.After earning face and face, everyone in Xu Qing was happy, but Xun Xueer seemed to have a sad brow.

"Mr. Xu, that housekeeper Zhao may have seen me, he knows me, if..."

"It's okay, I have a solution..." Xu Qing was slightly startled, he had a fart solution, he even regretted pretending to bring these women out, but in front of the beauties, he still said bravely.It is said that after Xun Xueer's health recovers, her skin is like snow, her face is like a bright moon, she is such a beautiful girl, given time, she will definitely be a great beauty when she matures.

In fact, they were overthinking. When Butler Zhao met Xun Xueer, he was still a poor person. He was dressed in tattered clothes and unkempt, which was completely different from what he looks like now. In addition, Butler Zhao's IQ was not online at that time, so he didn't notice it. Xun Xueer.It's just that the matter of Xun Xue'er was finally leaked out, but it wasn't because of Butler Zhao.

The seedlings of winter wheat have grown in the field, and the surrounding area of ​​Xuzhuang is full of lush greenery.There is already a lot of snow water in the pond. In a few days, the plants in the pond will grow, and you can try to release some fish.Let Liu San handle this matter, hasn't he caught fish before?

Now the people in Zhuangzi have nothing to do except fertilizing and weeding. Xu Qing organized them to build some ditches. Version 1.0 of the drought and flood prevention system in Zhuangzi has been completed. .

Further, it is necessary to expand the basis of survival, instead of blindly relying on agriculture for a living, industry and commerce must establish a foundation in Xuzhuang, after all, eggs cannot be put in one basket.

Xu Qing personally inspected the pigs in Zhuangzi, and they all looked good, but due to the winter, their advantages were not obvious, but they were a little lazy.In another month, these pigs will grow rapidly, and in autumn, they will grow thick and ready to "come out of the house".
