Chapter 108 How the Landlord Was Made
When Li Gu returned home, he had an old face, like a donkey, gritting his teeth and hatred. His family did not dare to get into trouble, but there was a brave man who brought a bowl of plum blossom wine to Li Gu.
"Uncle, try your niece's craftsmanship."
Li Gu couldn't show his face, so he picked it up and took a sip. He felt the fragrance of his lips and teeth, and immediately stretched out his thumb, "My niece's skill is so skillful. At this time, where did the plum blossoms come from? Why is it so beautiful? It seems to have just been picked!"
The woman smiled slightly, "It's not simple. Pick the plum blossoms, soak them in honey, and pick out a few when cooking wine."
"Oh!" Li Gu slapped his forehead, "It's strange that there is a sweet taste. This is how feelings come about. This must be your father's idea." Li Gu praised: "It's still Ling Zun's tricky mind and willing to work hard on food and drink. I can't compare to this!"
The woman smiled apologized, but there was a feeling of sorrow between her eyebrows. Her father imagined Li Gu and showed what he learned in his heart, but the emperor didn't need it!
While speaking, Li Gu drank all the plum blossom wine in the bowl and felt better. The woman took advantage of the situation and asked: "Did the uncle's advice? Did the Holy Emperor adopt it? If we follow my uncle's strategy, this Great Zhou will really flourish!"
When talking about this, Li Gu's face turned dark again.
"Oh! Stop talking, your uncle lost his lord!" Li Gu did not hide it, and said everything Ye Hua sarcastically said, "A young boy dares to point at my nose and speaks nonsense. He can only copy the methods of the Tang Dynasty. He also said that I just have the ability to speak... My old face is so ashamed!"
When the woman heard this, she couldn't help but take a breath, "Uncle, that champion Hou, killed the Khitan Emperor and captured Wang Jun again-that?"
Li Gu nodded, "No one except him dares to talk to me like this. Forget it, I want to see if he is really capable or just show it! I will follow him to the countryside tomorrow to see what the people think!"
Li Gu said, and wanted to prepare. The woman bit her lip and Wanfu said, "Uncle, I wonder if my niece can accompany her uncle?"
Li Gu hesitated, "This is not a spring tour. You are a girl from Jiangnan. Are you convenient to your legs and feet?"
The woman smiled faintly, "Uncle forgot that my father is from the north, how could he learn from the southern women to wrap his feet?"
Li Gu pondered for a moment, "Then follow me, but you have to change into men's clothing, so don't let people see it."
"Niece...uh no, it's my nephew understand!"
The woman ran away. Around the sky, Li Gu was wearing a blue dress, cloth shoes, and a straw hat, looking decent, like an old farmer.
When he arrived at the grain store, he did not see Ye Hua or Zhao Kuangyin, and only one shopkeeper Wang was waiting here.
"Is it Mr. Li? The champion Hou left before dawn. When the city gate opened, they were the first to leave the city. This is the case these days."
Li Gu was shocked. The sun just came out and he had arrived early enough that he hadn't caught up yet!
Manager Wang was considerate and arranged a young man and prepared two donkeys. It was originally the young man and Li Gu who were one by one, but Li Gu brought one more person, and there was no way. The young man could only run in front, and Li Gu hurried out of the city.
When they arrived at the Ten Mile Long Pavilion, they found that many carriages and ox carriages were filled with things and were about to transport them to the city.
Ye Hua was among the crowd, and he also carried grain with the workers to settle accounts with the farmers who delivered goods.
Someone suggested that Ye Hua should not be so troublesome, it would be easier to get it once every ten days. But Ye Hua refused. Many poor people used the remaining things from their mouths to exchange for money. If they did not pay the bill immediately, many people would not come.
"Remember, we make money by our strength. Don't put ourselves too high. We have some power in our hands and just want to bully the people and treat the villagers badly. We will never do a good job in business like that!"
The few people who were taught by Ye Hua nodded frequently and quickly lowered their heads and went to busy themselves.
Li Gu was right next to him, and he heard Ye Hua's words and couldn't help but take a breath. Is this kid sincere or fool me with words?
He was thinking, when Ye Hua saw him at first sight, "What are you doing in a stand-in? There is no work in your eyes!"
As he said that, Ye Hua pointed to a bunch of radishes that looked like hills, "Hurry up, move them to the car!"
Li Gu was so angry that he said everything. What else could he do if he was willing to come!
You are capable, and I am not bad at all!
He tucked his clothes and reached out to carry the radish. He didn't move a few of them, and his hands were covered in mud. The woman who followed him frowned when he saw it. At this time, Ye Hua's voice suddenly came out.
"What are you standing stupidly? Your master is working, are you still standing?"
The woman's face turned red when she was told, and she couldn't do anything. She quickly lowered her head and ran over to help. Li Gu was shocked when she saw it, "My girl, how can you do rough work? How can you explain to your father!"
Li Gu wanted to stop him, but the woman waved her hand quickly to prevent him from speaking, then lowered her head and quickly followed Li Gu to work together.
The carrot was not heavy, but it couldn't help but bend over. After only half of it, Li Gu felt that his waist had been broken. He couldn't help but look at his niece, a spoiled daughter, who actually gritted her teeth and held on, not slower than him. Li Gu was embarrassed to call him tired, and just like that, he worked so hard that it was noon, and finally put his last bit of luck away. He didn't care about the mud and water, and he collapsed on the ground, and he didn't even want to move his fingers, his chest was undulating violently, and he gasped.
At some point, Ye Hua came over, gave Li Gu a water hyacinth, and gave him a few more cakes.
"Eat it. After finishing the meal, I will go to the village to have a look in the afternoon."
"Are you going?" Li Gu couldn't help but get angry, "Do you want to exhaust me?"
Ye Hua snorted, "What's this? The first few days we pushed a cart to the countryside to collect things and traveled through mountains and rivers. It was much harder than now. After gaining fame these days, the people took the initiative to send it to the Shili Changting Pavilion, which was much easier."
Li Gu frowned, "Champion Hou, why don't you just let the people send it? Isn't that better?"
Ye Hua smiled, "Mr. Li, I said you only know how to study, it's really not unfair! You actually ask such a naive question. You can give you some advice if you find someone. Do you believe it?"
Li Gu gritted his teeth in anger, "You can find it!"
Sure enough, Ye Hua called a young man. He looked fifteen or sixteen years old, stupid and squatting on the ground to count money.
He was very careful, looking at each copper plate at the sun, then rubbed it cleanly on his clothes, and then put it in his arms like a treasure.
There were less than one hundred people in total. When he put it in his pocket, he let out a long sigh, as if he had accomplished some amazing feat. He really never saw money!
"Little brother, have you made a lot of money?" Li Gu tried hard to make his tone more kind, but after he spoke it, he was still a little stiff.
The young man looked at him vigilantly and tried harder to protect the money in his pocket.
Li Gu was so embarrassed that he was treated as a thief.
"What do you want to do when you make money? Study or get married?"
After asking three times in a row, the young man then said, "My father said, "I want to buy, buy land!"
"What are you doing for buying land?" Li Gu asked.
"Buying land is buying land. With land, you will have everything!" The boy smiled brightly, and suddenly he jumped up and said to Li Gu: "I want to go back and catch rabbits, catch a lot of rabbits, catch rabbits, exchange money, buy land, catch..." The boy stuck out his butt and quickly disappeared from sight.
Li Gu frowned, as if he had some insight, but he couldn't explain it clearly.
Ye Hua smiled, "Mr. Li, do you know why the game of Juntian and the Mansion can't continue?"
Li Gu was stunned. What does a foolish boy have to do with the military soldiers and what does it have to do with Juntian?
Ye Hua laughed, "Mr. Li, if even he was thinking about buying land, what would happen to others? If everyone thought about the local owner and annexed the land, how could they achieve long-term equalization of land?"
