Chapter 195 Hundred acres of fertile fields

ps: The third update, please recommend, please give me monthly tickets!

Liang Xiao frowned and pondered for a while.↑, "What's wrong with King Jiangdu?"

"The King of Jiangdu made a fuss in Shanglinyuan today..."

When the emperor was hunting, the kings who came to pay tribute naturally had to accompany him, and the King of Jiangdu was no exception. According to the convention, the kings arrived first and waited for the emperor. As a result, the emperor asked Han Yan to marry the deputy chariot first. He saw the hood of the emperor from afar and saw the cavalry like clouds. The King of Jiangdu thought that the emperor had arrived, so he immediately bowed and waited for Han Yan to drive by, and then realized that he had bowed wrongly.

The King of Jiangdu was angry at that time, accusing Han Yan of being rude, and asked the emperor to resign from the throne and return to Beijing to be a man.

"Did you think this is not stupid?" Dongfang Shuo smiled bitterly: "He simply relied on his in-laws and became infamous families with Guard Gai, and wanted to use the empress dowager's power to be transferred to Kuaiji. A Xiao, your suggestion is good, but why did you forget the consistent national policy of the court's strong and weak branches?"

Liang Xiao smiled and said, "To put it, this is interesting. King Jiangdu and the emperor are brothers, but they have become in-laws with the emperor's uncle..."

"Liang Xiao!" Dongfang Shuo lowered his face and interrupted Liang Xiao. "If you still want to avoid the important and just give in to the slander, there is no need for us to talk about it again."

"Uh..." Liang Xiao smacked his lips awkwardly. "Man Qian, you are so serious, how could I..."

Dongfang Shuo interrupted Liang Xiao again. "Have you ever thought about how King Jiangdu knew your suggestions?"

Liang Xiao was stunned and immediately realized that there was something in Dongfang Shuo's words.

He suggested to Yan Zhu that the King of Jiangdu will be transferred to the war, and he also suggested that the King of Huainan will be moved to Kuaiji, but he never suggested that the King of Jiangdu will be moved to the border. How did the King of Jiangdu think of moving to the tribe? The King of Jiangdu made him famous in the capital. These two things are linked together, and others will naturally think that it was his proposal.

With the IQ of Jiangdu King Liu Fei, it cannot be groundless. Someone must have mentioned this to him.

After thinking about this, a cool breeze blew across the back of Liang Xiao's head. "Liu...Ling?"

Dongfang Shuo snorted: "Isn't it scary?"

"It's so scary." Liang Xiao was very angry. "Is she hurting me?"

"The meaning of throwing a stone to ask for directions may be, but there is no possibility of harming you." Dongfang Shuo said: "The King of Jiangdu is extremely brave. He is the prince of the emperor and has a relative with the Gaihou family. If he is transferred to Kuaiji, he is indeed a good candidate, at least more suitable than the King of Huainan. If he can make some adjustments and form a convention, the effect may be no less than the strategy of cutting off the world. Even if your suggestion is not a genius' suggestion, it is also a very smart strategy."

"Really?" Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows. "Do you think so too?"

Dongfang Shuo nodded. "I'm afraid the emperor thinks so too, otherwise King Jiangdu said it for so long, and the emperor would not have reacted at all."

"Actually, my initial suggestion was to move Huainan instead of Jiangdu."

"This is where you are not as good as the Master of Huainan." Dongfang Shuo sneered: "In terms of closeness, Jiangdu is closer than Huainan. In terms of courage, Jiangdu is more suitable than Huainan. In terms of in-laws, Jiangdu's daughter married Marquis Gai, and Huainan's son married Xiuchengjun's daughter, which is better. If Jiangdu King was successfully transferred to the title, then Huainan still has some hope. If Jiangdu King has no chance, Huainan is even more impossible."

Liang Xiao nodded. This was probably what Liu Ling wanted to throw a stone into a question. However, he did not recommend the King of Jiangdu, not because King of Jiangdu was not good. But because Prince of Jiangdu was not a good person. Dongfang Shuo shook his head after hearing Liang Xiao's explanation.

"It is precisely because of this that you seem to be out of public aspirations. Not only is the King of Jiangdu grateful to you, but the Emperor will also appreciate you. I wonder how many times more clever the suggestion of moving to Huainan."

Liang Xiao was speechless. After savoring the difference carefully, he realized that he was so simple. Whether it was Liu Ling or Dongfang Shuo, he thought more thoroughly than him. His wrists were indeed not smooth enough in this superficial article.

Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. "Who told you that I suggested moving to Huainan?"

Dongfang Shuo tilted his mouth and smiled proudly. "You finally understand. If you don't respond, I'm leaving. I'm such a smart person. I can't make friends with pigs."

"Have you gone to Huainan?" Liang Xiao jumped up and reached out to grab Dongfang Shuo's collar. "How is the Master of Huainan now?"

Dongfang Shuo's smile froze. He stared at Liang Xiao for a while, and pushed Liang Xiao away angrily. "I overestimate you, you are worse than a pig. The Master Huainan even knows how to hide his own conceit. But you don't know how to hide it."

Liang Xiao laughed embarrassedly. "Tell me quickly, how is she now?"

"She..." Dongfang Shuo squeezed his eyes and said with a wicked smile: "I'm in love with spring."

Liu Ling slowly walked away from a group of alchemists with his hands behind his back.

Every alchemist holds a piece of glass in his hands, some are dark yellow, some are light green, and some are dark brown, but they all have one thing in common, with bubbles of all sizes, which are turbid and unclear.

"Thank you all for your hard work, and your progress is quite good." Liu Ling nodded in admiration. "However, we cannot be satisfied with this, and we still need to continue working hard."

The alchemists looked at each other, showing fear of difficulties.

"I also know that everyone has worked hard during this period." Liu Ling waved his hand, and a group of maids came over with trays. Each tray was filled with gold cakes and silk. "These gold and silk are thanks to you. You can rest for a while. If you are interested, it is better to go to Guangling or Wuxian to relax and see the glass brought by Hu merchants, and maybe you can have a broad mind."

Seeing the gold and silk, the alchemists immediately changed their smiles and thanked them one after another, saying that they would continue to work hard and would complete the tasks assigned by the master. At the same time, they also made up their minds to do better than others next time. Because the amount of rewards is obviously related to the quality of the glass produced.

The alchemists retreated, and Liu Ling returned to the bedroom, hugged his hands behind his head, and fell on the bed. She thought for a while, turned her head, looked at the glass statue of Cupid shooting with a bow on the head of the bed, and laughed silently. She took Cupid over and held it in front of her, as if she was holding a baby in her hands, and her face suddenly turned red.

The sound of footsteps suddenly came outside the door, and a figure blocked the sunlight outside the door, and the room suddenly became dark.

Liu Ling quickly put down Cupid and turned over and sat up. "Father?"

Liu An stood at the door with his hands in his arms. He glanced at Liu Ling, walked in slowly, walked to the dressing table, and placed the glass in his hand in front of Liu Ling. It was the glass that was not very good that the alchemist had just refined.

"Ling'er, after spending so much money, he has refined these few pieces of glass, which is more expensive than gold. When are you going to mess around?"

Liu Ling smiled. "Father, why are you messing around? This is a necessary investment. Once you succeed, you will get more than ten times the return."

"What if it doesn't work?"

"If this cannot succeed, there is only one possibility." Liu Ling was full of confidence. "Man cannot create crystal-like glass."

"Are you so confident?" Liu An reminded: "Ling'er, don't forget that being too confident is just a conceit. Whether you do academic research or study the skills of all craftsmen, what you fear most is conceit."

"Don't worry, Father, my daughter has written it down." Liu Ling smiled and hugged Liu An's arm and shook it. "Father, give me some more alchemists."

"Also? Are you planning to invest all the profits of Double-Sided Brocade into the development of Liuli?"

"Father, time is endless. Don't you want your daughter to open up new sources of wealth as soon as possible and provide funds for you to recruit talents from all over the world?"

Liu An sighed helplessly. "Okay, I'll go make arrangements."

"Also, don't tell my brother for the time being, so as not to laugh at me again."

Liu An glared at Liu Ling, angry and funny, and turned around and left. Liu Ling sent Liu An out of the door, then he turned around twice proudly, with a wrong finger, snapped his fingers gently, and giggled.

According to Dongfang Shuo's suggestion, Liang Xiao reported to settle down in Maoling and applied to move Tuniuer's family to Maoling.

Before this, the Liang family had always been a black household. When they came to Chang'an, the Fu Chuan was specially handled by Zheng, the prime minister of Jiangdu. Now that they want to become a naturalized person, they naturally have to apply. Fortunately, Liang Xiao happened to be the one who had already become a Lang official and had a considerable friendship with "Master Pingyang", so this matter was completed quickly.

Maoling is a newly established county. Apart from craftsmen, there are not many household registrations. Liang Xiao is considered to be relatively early. With the big sign Li Guang in the open and the care of "Pingyang Hou" in the dark, Liang Xiao successfully owned 100 acres of good fertile land and five acres of homestead next to Chengguo Canal.

Since Duke Xiao of Qin moved the capital to Xianyang, Guanzhong has been developing for more than two hundred years, with water conservancy facilities, crisscrossing ditches, fertile land. The top-quality land is one acre and one gold, and is called earth paste. Most of it is occupied by the powerful and powerful families. Liang Xiao entered the house early and the land controlled by the official was granted to him. If he came late, he would not have such a good thing and would probably be greatly reduced.

In early March, Tu Niuer's parents and sister came to Maoling. In order to report one more Dingkou and divide the land, Tu Niuer falsely reported his age. There was no detailed birth registration in the Han Dynasty, and the age was reported by himself, just because he didn't look much. Although Tu Niuer was only seventeen years old, he was tall and strong, and looked no different from his 20 years old. Fu Leji successfully became Dingkou, and the Tu family successfully distributed 200 acres of good land.

The Liang family and the Tu family have a total of 300 acres of good land. Liang Xiao has to work as a job and has no time to farm, so he has left it all to Tu Niuer's father Tu Tian to take care of.

Tu Tian used to be a good farmer and was a good at farming. With three hundred acres of good land, he couldn't stop smiling all day long, and his wrinkles were all over his face. However, no matter how capable he was, he could not grow three hundred acres of land alone. Liang Xiao bought a few more slaves and three cows to create a new iron plow.

With these new farm tools and domestic slaves, Tu Tian was enough to renovate the 300 acres of land. With my mother's supervisor at home, Li Rongqing and Tu Huaer cooperated, Liang Xiao didn't have to worry about it. Liang Xiao could take the job peacefully.

Before spring was over, Liang Xiao once again received a business trip. This time he was on a mission to the Huns, and the envoy was Mei Gao, the son of the famous Fu family Mei Cheng.

More importantly, this time Liang Xiao is not an ordinary attendant, but a deputy envoy—
