Qin Huaidao was practicing his spear, and he danced with a tiger-headed spear that was passed down from his family. Sometimes he was like a dragon tumbling over the river, sometimes he was like a tiger slaying and biting, sometimes he was like an ape leaping and jumping. His movements were like flowing water, both hard and soft, and the air was blown by the gun.
The head was torn and there was a buzzing and exploding sound.
"Young Master, Young Master."
A pleasant voice came, and then He'er came in through the courtyard gate, like a cheerful elf. Since Qin Huaidao earned a thousand taels of gold and handed over the Three Demons of the Yellow River, he received a thousand taels of silver reward. The house was temporarily
He'er became much more cheerful now that she didn't have to worry about silver.
"What's the matter?" Qin Huaidao stopped, a little confused. He'er would never bother him if there was nothing important during practice.
"Master Du asked to see you and said that he came on the order of the prince."
"Which Mr. Du?" Qin Huaidao didn't react for a moment.
"Master Cai Guogong's Mansion, Mr. Du He."
Qin Huaidao suddenly thought of one person, Du Ruhui's son Du He. Du Ruhui died of illness in the fourth year of Zhenguan. His son Du He had no support, but he was almost the same as himself. However, this guy wanted to die and took refuge with the prince Li Chengqian. He encouraged the rebellion and wanted to gain support.
As a minister of the dragon, he will reappear the glory of his father.
It was a good idea, but unfortunately he met Li Chengqian who was more willing to die. He was beheaded after being exposed for his rebellion. Also beheaded were Fang Er, Han Wang Li Yuanchang, Hou Junji and others. Li Chengqian was demoted to a commoner and exiled to Qianzhou. Not long after that
Also dead.
Du He is considered a confidant of the prince, and his sudden visit may have something to do with the sword. He just used this matter to express his attitude, so as not to get involved in the national dispute, and quickly told He'er: "Go tell Du He, just say that you are observing the sword.
I have learned a set of peerless boxing techniques, and it is not convenient to meet at this critical period."
It used to be swordsmanship, but now it's boxing. It has only one purpose, to continuously improve the mystery and value of the sword, to make the bait more attractive, and to wait two days before finding an opportunity to publicly show off a fighting technique that is completely different from this world, to enhance the persuasiveness.
, when the time comes, they say that the sword was created by themselves, and I don’t believe that the Wang family can bear it.
Digging holes, naturally the higher the authenticity, the more confusing it will be!
After He'er left, Qin Huaidao went to the west courtyard first and saw that Uncle Ma was still polishing the horse blade. Judging from the progress, it should be completed before dark. After chatting for a while, he left, found Jia Youcai and told him: "Uncle Jia
, I am afraid that the house will not be safe during this period, and the manpower may not be enough, can the manor bring in some strong men? "
Jia Youcai said bluntly with some embarrassment: "The spring wheat has just been harvested, and other crops still need to be plowed. Manpower is very tight. How many do you need, young master? I will arrange the arrangements."
"never mind!"
Qin Huaidao was reminded by Jia Youcai and realized that he could no longer redeploy manpower to avoid delaying farming. After thinking about it, a figure emerged in his mind, Luo Zhang, the son of Luo Tong and the grandson of Luo Cheng.
Luo Tong was regarded as the most capable general of the second generation of the Xun Dynasty. He was unrivaled by his peers. He was deeply loved by Li Er and adopted him as his adopted son. Later, he was demoted to the rank of "Your Highness" due to the incident of Princess Lu and was not allowed to go to court. Luo Tong
Zhang is still young, and the prestige of the Duke of Yue is now declining.
As he grew older, Luo Zhang's martial arts talent showed up, and the Luo family's marksmanship was superb, just like his father's style. However, Luo Tong fell into decline, and no one in the court was willing to help him, and he gradually faded out of the circle of honor.
In terms of seniority, Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng are cousins, while Qin Huaidao and Luo Tong are the elders of Luo Zhang. Luo Zhang is upright, loyal and warlike, and a martial arts fanatic.
"Uncle Jia, let someone go to Luo Mansion and ask Luo Zhang to come over secretly."
As an old man in the mansion, Jia Youcai naturally knew about Luo Zhangzhiyong, so his eyes lit up and he hurried away.
Qin Huaidao returned to the backyard to continue practicing his marksmanship.
An hour later, He'er hurried over: "Young Master, the housekeeper asked me to report that someone has arrived."
"Ask someone to wait in the study and serve tea."
"Here."
He'er jumped up and down, like a cute butterfly.
Qin Huaidao washed his face casually, put on some casual clothes and went out. He crossed the yard and followed the wind and rain corridor to the front yard. He saw the study door open, He'er making tea, and Jia Youcai accompanying a young man who was talking.
He is Luo Zhang, who has a tiger-like head, a strong body, a stern face, and a preoccupied look.
"Here we come." Qin Huaidao stepped into the door.
"I've met my cousin." Luo Zhang stood up and saluted, his eyes a little more cordial.
"Sit down, you're not an outsider." Qin Huaidao sat down at the front position. Seeing He'er putting some weird things into the tea soup, he quickly shouted: "Wait a minute, what are you putting in?"
"Young master's favorite flavors include salt, sesame, ginger, chopped green onion..."
"Okay, don't put anything else. Just give me the boiling water and tea leaves." Qin Huaidao interrupted and put a bunch of things in. Is that for tea? Soup?
He'er felt a little aggrieved. She had always been like this in the past, but when she saw that Qin Huaidao was not angry, she calmed down and quickly took the water and tea leaves and put them on the coffee table in front of Qin Huaidao.
When Qin Huaidao saw it, he realized that the tea leaves were not stir-fried and fermented like in later generations, but simply dried in the sun. There was no way to brew them directly with boiling water like later generations did. He suddenly realized that this was a way to make money. His eyes lit up and he started to think about it.
Asked: "Uncle Jia, do you know where there is a tea mountain?"
"I know of two places, but they are a bit far away. We also have some in Zhuangzi."
Qin Huaidao thought for a moment and warned: "Immediately arrange for the purchase of tea in large quantities and do it secretly to prevent price increases. In addition, inform the villagers to choose suitable places to plant tea trees, and then inquire about the prices of other tea mountains, and then purchase them later. This matter is very important."
It’s important and must not be leaked.”
"But, this requires a lot of money. My family..."
"Trust me, go ahead and do it."
Jia Youcai looked at the confident Qin Huaidao and suddenly remembered that Qin Huaidao had the same expression last time. As a result, he earned a thousand taels back the next day. He suddenly felt confident, not to mention that he was just a housekeeper and could not do anything disobedient or guilty. He only had to do what he was told.
That was fine, so he bowed and hurried away.
Qin Huaidao looked at Luo Zhang: "Remember that you have two thousand acres of land in your house, right?"
"There are still a few hundred acres left." Luo Zhang said, with more resentment in his eyes.
Qin Huaidao was startled and asked: "What happened?"
"The Wang family didn't know how to take over all the neighboring land and cut off the water source upstream. I got angry and knocked on the door to argue, and beat a steward of the Wang family to death. The Wang family made a big fuss, and in the end they had to pay compensation for a thousand acres of land, plus
I was in urgent need of a large amount of money some time ago, but I had no choice but to sell some more, leaving 500 acres."
"Wang family?"
"Yes, the Wang family! This revenge will be avenged in the future. What does my cousin want from me?"
Qin Huaidao frowned and asked, "The Holy One doesn't know about this?"
"I know that the Wang family wants me to die. The Holy Emperor sent a eunuch to order the Wang family to accept compensation, otherwise my life will be lost."
"So that's it, what happened to the family and they need money urgently?" Qin Huaidao asked, full of disdain for Li Er in his heart. Perhaps he had concerns about the overall situation, but the dignified emperor chose to tolerate it and allowed the Wang family to be arrogant and wronged his nobles.
The bloody nature of conquering the country, some people think it is cool to drink tea!
Luo Zhang sighed sadly: "It is also related to the Wang family, but the evidence is insufficient, forget it, let's not talk about it."
Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Since they don’t want to talk about it, it’s inappropriate to ask. Qin Huaidao suddenly thought of a question. The Wang family had been ruthless to the Luo family, and now they were attacking themselves. They were really picking on the nobles who had lost their backbone. They must be behind it.
With the support of other aristocratic families, otherwise Li Er's temper would not have been able to be so forbearing, so he said: "Follow me from now on, and let's make trouble for the Wang family together."
"real?"
Luo Zhang was startled, and when he saw Qin Huaidao nodding decisively, he immediately said excitedly: "The Wang family almost destroyed my family. This revenge must be avenged. Is my cousin going to attack the Wang family? Count me in."
"Don't use force every day, use your brain more."
"I don't know how to do this. Just listen to my cousin."
