Chapter 224 Gambling
Li Xiao was not interested in Lao Wang's transfer. Even if he was transferred to Kurabushi, who was the opposite of him, he would not bother to be the one who was too lazy to be a member of the person.
He never caught a cold for this guy. It was better to Zhao Chiman's appetite for him. Although Zhao Chiman had brought troops to fight it, he would not know each other without fighting. But Lao Wang was always sarcastic, so he didn't feel very happy to see it.
"The corn is just like the sorghum planted first and then transplanted, which is a bit complicated. I think the corn is similar to sorghum planted, but sorghum does not need to be breeded and transplanted."
"Can sorghum be compared with corn? How much does sorghum produce per acre? And can sorghum rice be delicious? Unless it is a year of famine, who would like to eat sorghum rice? It is fed to animals, how can it be compared with corn?" Li Xiao angrily criticized Lao Wang without raising his head.
"The high yield of corn is just your current opinion. Whatever it is depends on the result."
"The result will be seen in a hundred days. Lao Wang, why don't we bet? I know you are the head of the Wang family, and the family is big and the business is great. My Li family is comparable to you. But it's okay to have a small bet. Or if we bet a hundred coins, we bet on my hundred corn, which is only three cents of land, and then we will collect three dou of grain."
If you collect three dou of grain in three liters of land, then you have to collect three s of land? If you don’t have to collect ten s of grain per acre?
"The dried corn kernels after threshing? Three cents and three dou?" Lao Wang looked a little excited. Li Xiao dared to make such a bet, which means he was very confident. But Lao Wang was very happy. Even if he lost with him, it would be 100% of the money, if Li Xiao really did it, it would be amazing. One acre of ten stones of dried corn kernels after threshing, a god, something I dare not even think about.
"Okay, I've bet, but to prevent you from cheating, I have to send someone to your house to watch, staring at the hundred corns you have, from planting to harvesting, all my people must be staring at."
"If you want to send, you can send it, even if you are watching it all day long. As long as you don't do anything to destroy it, they can just look at it. But I will make it in advance and see if I don't care about their food and accommodation. If you want to come to my company, you can pay the rent and food expenses. You will be charged 200 yuan per person a month."
"I still charge rent and food expenses? Two hundred yuan a month? It's too expensive." Li Zhi was so generous.
"If you think it's expensive, you can just stop coming, or you can send someone to deliver the meal yourself."
Li Zhi suddenly laughed.
"Isn't it just a month of 200 yuan? It's a little bit. Just say it's a matter of determination. I'll send someone here when I look back."
Li Xiao clapped his hands and went back to the hall, and Lao Qian quickly recruited a few servants.
"You guys, just stare at here. Don't let the birds in the sky harm the corn seedlings. If you stare at them, the corn seedlings will be damaged by a little bit. You are the only one who asks."
Several servants nodded suddenly when they looked like they were facing a great enemy.
"I've all seen it. I'll arrange someone to come and change shifts at night."
In the living room, Lao Wang followed in with a thick skin.
At the entrance of the hall, Zhao Chi's face was fluctuating. He knew Li Zhi. He was a Qianniu when he was Taizong. When Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, he and many inner guards escorted the prince back to Beijing to succeed the throne.
At first he was a little confused and confused, but he already figured it out.
The emperor actually came to the Li family with a fake identity, and it seemed that he had a good relationship with Li Xiao. Although it always seemed that the two of them were a little wrong, the emperor could come often, which shows that Li Xiao was still very important in the emperor's heart.
When he saw the emperor just now, he was actually very angry.
But anger is only a moment.
After all, he made a mistake. Although the emperor demoted his Zhao family as a slave, he was eventually forgiven for his death.
Li Xiao was drinking his own tea, adding some dried Houttuynia cordata to the brewed honeysuckle. The weather has been particularly dry recently and people are a little angry.
He could not drink the tea from the Tang Dynasty. The steamed tea cakes didn't taste good. He didn't like it or not. He wanted to stir-fry some tea, but the good tea was mainly in the south. He didn't have time to go to the south to stir-fry tea, and he was unwilling to teach the tea stir-frying technique to others. He would rather plant some tea trees by himself when he had time in the future, and then pick new tea leaves to stir-fry.
Li Zhi was very rude and drank tea.
Li Xiao looked at this old Wang and felt that his face was still very thick.
"Old Wang."
"Why."
"Last time, your side room told you about the broken things in your family, have you solved it?" Li Xiao asked for trouble.
Li Zhi frowned. The tea made from Houttuynia cordata and gold and silver tea tasted very strange. He couldn't get used to it. He spit out a little Houttuynia cordata stem that entered his mouth, "That little thing is being resolved, it's not bad. Thank you for your advice last time."
"By the way, Lao Wang, what is Wang Fangyi's relationship with you? He is also from the Wang family in Taiyuan. What are your seniority?"
Li Zhi smiled, "In terms of seniority, I am my cousin."
"oh."
After saying oh, there was nothing to say.
At this time, Butler Qian came to report that several villagers in the village had come.
"Please come and have tea."
Several village chiefs came to the scene and were about drought relief. There was no sign of improvement in this year's drought. Thanks to Li Xiao's previous township rules, the remaining 30,000 acres of land in the village are still barely supported, but although it has not died, it is obvious that the output this year will be very low.
"Sanlang, congratulations on your title and promotion." The people of the people became more and more polite to Li Xiao.
"You're welcome, you're all from the villagers. Everyone will just say anything."
Several village chiefs complained about the suffering. Seeing that the drought has not eased, the harvest will be greatly reduced this year. It is estimated that there will be food shortage in summer. I am afraid that the autumn harvest will not come down.
"We have to hurry up on the matter of Qatar Yicang in our town. You planned this matter by Saburo, and you still have to take the lead. We don't understand this."
Li Xiao had discussed with everyone before, buying grain in Jianyi Cang.
Xiangyoutang issued bonds to raise funds, then bought grain, and then printed grain coupons to the people. The people went to Xiangyoutang to collect grain with the grain coupons.
This is to ensure that the entire village can overcome this crisis.
"Yi Cang, you have to have money to buy grain first. According to what we had planned before, we would issue bonds. Just right, today we have a rich man here, the new head of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and the Minister of the Warehouse Department of our court. He has money, so we just happened to make a swing for him."
Li Xiao looked at Lao Wang with a smile.
Li Zhi felt a little gloomy, Li Xiao’s appearance was a bit scary.
"What bond?" Li Zhi asked.
Bonds are known in later generations, from large countries to small companies with treasury bonds. Anyway, they are a financial contract.
