"He asked me how much I ordered. I said that the He family ordered three months of meat, which required eight pounds of pork, ten pounds of beef, and ten pounds of mutton every month. In addition, the housekeeper of the He family also wanted to buy some live livestock. He said it was
It was going to be sent to a farm in the countryside for sowing. I introduced him to Li Laoliu who was diagonally across the street, the one in the corner -" He pointed to the opposite side, "His family raises it himself. The housekeeper of the He Mansion came from him.
We ordered some different breeds of livestock there and went back. After hearing this, the man surnamed Sun asked for two kilograms of mutton and two lamb loins, and then left."
It's really simple.
He Lingchuan thanked him and left.
No matter where the nobles are, whether it is the Kite Kingdom or Bejia, fields and farms are must-have items for asset allocation. In addition to supplying the annual needs of the owner's family, their output can, more importantly, be sent to the market to be sold for money.
The He family moved to Yuandu from Xiazhou and sold off their assets in the north while repurchasing farmland and farms near Yuandu. This was also a standard move for newly wealthy people entering the capital.
Butler Zhao Er just came to Yuandu and didn't know much about the place. When buying meat, he asked Butcher Wang to set up a connection for him to buy breeding pigs and sheep so that he could breed them in the village. That was normal.
Shan Youjun followed behind him: "Young Master, is there something wrong?"
"No." He Lingchuan walked out of Niuyangzhuang and looked at the soles of his shoes to make sure he was safe. "Let's go back and have dinner. If you hear something here, don't spread it when you go back."
Shan Youjun immediately responded: "Yes, no fourth person will know."
Sun Hongye was here, did you ask anything else? He Lingchuan put these thoughts aside and went home to eat.
He Chunhua had come back and was beaming at the dinner table, saying that King Yuan was very interested in his suggestion.
He Yue asked: "Father, do you think your Majesty will agree?"
"Of course." He Chunhua said with a smile, "Jun Yan is very happy and thinks this is a good way. It is both affordable and can get military resources as soon as possible."
After years of speculation, he has understood Mr. Yuan's temperament. As long as Mr. Yuan thinks he has taken advantage, he will make a happy decision.
But, it’s hard to have both in this world. If you have “both needs and wants” in matters of family and country, the price will often be higher in the end.
In the evening, He Lingchuan called Qiu Hu to his courtyard and asked, "Are you used to living here?"
"There's nothing that I can't get used to," Qiu Hu replied, "I can live with fine clothes and fine food, and I can live with sleeping on sand and eating chaff. It's just that I'm full all day long and have nowhere to go, which is a bit boring."
Other Ronshan disciples like to visit Yuandu and wallow in the world of mortals. They are not interested.
As for actuarial accounting and accounting, he doesn't even know how to do it.
What he likes to do the most, what he is most proficient in, is fighting and killing.
He Lingchuan smiled and said: "Then I will send you a mission."
Qiu Hu said nothing: "Please tell me."
…
Early the next morning, He Lingchuan unexpectedly saw an old acquaintance again:
Wu Shaoyi.
This guy had just returned from overseas. Hearing that the eldest son of the He family had returned home, he hurriedly came to congratulate him and also asked the housekeeper to get some medicinal materials.
He Lingchuan saw that he had lost a lot of weight. He was originally a stocky man who could compete with Lu Yao, but now he had lost two laps, at least a quarter of his weight, and his temples were also white.
As soon as Wu Shaoyi coughed, his cheeks turned abnormally red.
Back then, he used the technique of grafting flowers and grafting trees to forcefully extend his life. This was the price he had to pay for surviving.
"How is your illness?"
"Originally, there were only two years left, so Mr. He took me to see the great shaman of Zhaomandu." Wu Shaoyi said with a smile, "The great shaman prescribed some secret medicine for me. It was said that it could forcibly extend my life for about ten months, but in the end
It will be very painful for two months. I came here today to get the medicinal materials that Mr. He ordered for me."
This man's life was already counting down. He was as eloquent as He Lingchuan, and for the moment I didn't know how to comfort him.
On the contrary, Wu Shaoyi was more open-minded: "I have already thought about it. I will only die in the last two months. This life was chosen by force. It is a blessing to live for three more years. What else can I be dissatisfied with?"
?”
He Lingchuan changed the topic and asked about Zeng Feixiong and others.
It turned out that Zeng Feixiong had gone to the camp west of Shihuan City and was training troops for He Chunhua, and Uncle Hao was not in Yuandu either.
As for Wu Shaoyi, he still has to follow He Chunhua south to put down the rebellion.
Yes, although He Chunhua was working with King Yuan to get Qiao, he knew very well that in the end he had to shoulder the task of suppressing the rebellion.
Wu Shaoyi was ill and could not go on the field to kill, but he had rich experience in fighting. Not only could he make suggestions, but he also had a better understanding of the psychology of "rebels" than others - wasn't he a general under "Holy Master" Hong Xiangqian in the past?
, and was later recruited by He Chunhua.
Therefore, He Chunhua still wanted to take him with him.
Wu Shaoyi sighed: "After the war in the south is over, Mr. He will allow me to return to Yuandu to take care of myself and live a peaceful life for two years."
He Lingchuan smiled: "I'm afraid it's not up to us to decide whether our life is safe or not."
Wu Shaoyi lightly clapped her hands for these words: "The young master is absolutely right. There is a rebellion in the south, and there is Dong Haoming in the northwest. Alas! The people of Yuan Kingdom don't know when they will be able to hope for peace."
"I think dad is still confident about the southern rebellion this time." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "There is no way out, and the turning point may be just a thought away."
He and Wu Shaoyi have different mentality. The latter can only drift with the tide as the sun sets, but He Lingchuan will always be optimistic at all times.
Those who have experienced the Battle of Xushan and still escaped from Lingxu City alive have the right to be optimistic.
The two chatted about old times again, and He Lingchuan's heart moved: "By the way, do you know where Sun Hongye went?"
But Wu Shaoyi then added: "Young master, please ask Shan Youjun, he has a good relationship with Sun Hongye."
"Huh?" He Lingchuan was a little strange, "Can they hang out together?"
Why didn't Shan Youjun mention it?
"They are similar in age, both work under Mr. He, and have no relatives or friends around them, so it's not strange to get closer." Wu Shaoyi recalled, "I remember that I saw them having a drink at Songhua House in Dunyu a few days ago.
You Jun also borrowed fifty taels of silver from Sun Hongye."
Fifty taels? For a guest with a fixed salary, this is not a small amount of money.
Sun Hongye was willing to lend 50,000 yuan to Shan Youjun, which in itself shows that the two have a good relationship.
He Lingchuan said oh a few times and changed the topic.
At this time, the servant announced that a distinguished guest from the royal family was visiting!
Wu Shaoyi realized what was going on, got up and left.
The soul-catching mirror immediately shouted: "That boy Shan Youjun clearly said that he and Sun Hongye are not familiar with each other! He lied!"
Our friendship is so good that I dare to ask for a loan, haha!
Has he paid that money yet?
He Lingchuan hummed.
Why did Shan Youjun lie? Was it because he was afraid of getting burned if he knew the inside story, or was it because he had something to do with Sun Hongye's disappearance?
