Crossing the Qinghe Landlord gl

More than 20 years ago, after Xia Hui's officials expanded the tea business, they were no longer satisfied with only operating in Fuzhou, and planned to expand the business to other places.

On the way to Raozhou, when he passed a village in Guixi, he encountered an injustice: setting up card books in the village shop was just to collect business taxes from passing merchants, and stopped a person. , He had to pay a lot of tolls before letting him go.

That candidate was going to Beijing to rush for the exam, and he only took the official path for safety, but he didn't expect that someone would dare to blatantly block the road and rob.He argued: "I am a student of Jianzhou, and I want to go to Beijing to take the exam. I am not a merchant."

Although the block head was only a servant of the fifth-class household, but he was arrogant, obviously instigated by the upper-class household behind him.And the reason why those high-class households can so boldly ask for money from passers-by must be in collusion with the local officials. Passers-by only want to be safe, so naturally they paid the money and left quickly.

Ju Ziben also planned to compromise and pay more than 20 Wen, but the blocker seemed to be against him intentionally and asked him to pay more than 200 Wen before letting him go.Juzi was very angry, and arguing with him caused more accomplices to stop him.

Seeing that his son was in danger, Xia Hui's officials stepped forward.

He has made many friends on weekdays, among them are quite a few local hooligans. Every time he goes out to do business, he will hire such people, because they are not afraid of death, and they are quite good at playing tricks.The blocker was a rogue, he used rogues to deal with them, and relying on the large number of people, he frightened the blocker and his accomplices, and rescued Juzi.

Xia Hui's officials took Juzi all the way, and they didn't part until Raozhou, and he gave Juzi a lot of money.That candidate is naturally the current Zhou Canjun. He was defeated in the spring and struggled for three years before he won the fourth rank and was awarded a Jinshi background.

He has never forgotten the kindness of the Huang family all these years, but he was born in a poor family and waited for many years to pass the official examination. He was a county lieutenant in Xiaxian County at the beginning, and he climbed to the official position of the eighth rank after all these years.When he first came to Fuzhou to take office, he remembered that Fuzhou was where the Huang family lived, so he sent someone to inquire about the Huang family's news, and soon he found Huang Lingzhi.

At that time, Xia Hui's eldest son, Huang Lingyun, was helping with business in Fuzhou, and Xia Hui's officials took his second son, Huang Lingzhi, to go to business. Zhou Canjun recognized Huang Lingzhi when he saw him, and was very excited.It happened that Huang Yu was not married yet, so he betrothed his daughter to Huang Yu.

Others don't know whether Zhou Canjun knew about Huang Yu and Fang Ying's affairs, but Xia Da saw Xia Hui's proud appearance when he came to Xia's house, so he guessed that Zhou Canjun must know, and he secretly put pressure on Fang's family.

Xia Hui just remembered that Xia's family didn't marry Xia Ji Niang or Xia Su Niang to Huang Yu at the beginning, and even insinuated that they didn't know what to do, so they came to Xia's house under the name of visiting relatives, but in fact they deliberately mocked Xia Da and others.After all, so what if Zhang He is from the family of a high-ranking official, he is just an unpopular bastard, how can he compare with joining the army last week?

Xia Cuishi immediately contradicted: "You should be secretly happy that we didn't marry our daughter to Huang Yu, otherwise how would he have the opportunity to marry the daughter of an official family? No matter how bad the east bed is, there is an uncle who is an official in the court. If you don't marry Zhou Jianjun Daughter, I'm afraid I won't get any light!"

Xia Hui naturally knew that what she said was the truth. Even if Huang Yu and Xia Jiniang were engaged, in order to hug the big tree of the Zhou family tightly, she would try her best to call off the engagement.

However, because Xia Cuishi refuted Xia Hui's words in front of everyone, she lost face, and the two families broke up unhappy.But Xia Er accused Xia Cui from the sidelines: "Brother Yu now has a father-in-law who is a judicial officer and joins the army. If you still dare to offend the Huang family, you are not afraid of being imprisoned?!"

The old man Xia was also sullen and silent, Xia Da said a few words for Xia Cui, and Xia Er even accused him; Xia San and Xia San didn't help Xia Er accuse Xia Da and his wife, they just regretted it He offended the Huang family in Xia Su Niang's marriage, and even disliked Xia Su Niang who was unwilling to marry Huang Yu.

Because of these things, the Xia family was very unhappy.

One person attains enlightenment, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.It's just a regular eighth-rank justice joining the army, but for them who have no power and no power, they are already untouchable.With Zhou Canjun's protection, although the Huang family could not run rampant in Fuzhou City, they might be able to dominate the tea business again.

"When something like this happened, how can you say it's okay?" Xia Jiniang sighed, she wanted to ask if Xia Cui was wronged, but in doing so, she questioned Xia Da's inability to let his wife be wronged?She can't have such unfilial thoughts.

"How the Huang family has nothing to do with us." Xia Da waved his hand, "Let's not talk about these things, I actually have another matter when I come today."

Zhang He happened to come out, and upon hearing the words, he asked, "Is there anything else my father-in-law needs to do?"

Facing Zhang He, it was difficult for Xia Da to say this.He looked into the eyes of the two of them and thought about the words in his mind, then said: "I just wanted to tell you that the harvest at home is good this autumn, especially the grain seeds given by Dongbed. There are also three stones in the field, and the seedlings of the autumn tax have also been settled."

Xia Da insisted on planting late rice at that time, but he and Xia Cui's family mainly took care of it on weekdays, so they only planted eight acres.Every mu has a harvest of more than three shi, and nearly 25 shi of rice, which is just enough to pay the autumn tax.

Old man Xia originally planned to let Xia Da save the seeds and pay taxes with some soybeans instead of rice, but the conversion of soybeans into rice would cost one or two buckets more. Besides, Xia Da remembered Zhang He's words and dared not save the seeds.

But this harvest gave the Xia family a taste of the sweetness, so they planned to save the seeds and continue planting next year.In desperation, Xia Da remembered that Zhang He had promised to continue to give new grain seeds in the coming year, so he came here cheekily.

Before the system update, Zhang He would have to carefully remind Xia Da, but now that she has high-quality conventional rice seeds, there is no need to worry.Even so, she still had to mix in some traditional grain seeds, in order to prevent the Xia family from planting an astonishing amount of five or six stones at once, causing others to be jealous.

"It's easy to say, before the spring of the next year, my son-in-law will send a few stone and grain seeds to my father-in-law." Zhang He said.

Xia Da didn't want to push his nose on his face, and a stone of grain would cost three or four hundred wen, how could he ask Zhang He for a few stones all at once?He said: "In the coming year, I will bring people over to buy from the east bed, and only two stones are enough, and there are dozens of acres of land that must be planted."

"It's okay, let it be the son-in-law who honors his father-in-law, and if the harvest is good, the father-in-law will be able to keep the seeds in the future."

"But the last time on the bed, didn't you say—"

Xia Jiniang was totally unaware of Zhang He's words to Xia Da, and Xia Jiniang never had doubts about her affairs, so she never explained the problem of Gu Zhong.She quickly said, "It was a different kind of grain last time. This time I found a new kind of grain. It's no problem to save the seed."

General Xia was skeptical, but he received Zhang He's favor, so he would not delve into where these grain seeds came from.There are also different types of grains, and he knows this. As long as Zhang He's grains can be harvested and saved, he doesn't need to ask.

Zhang He also asked him about his plans for corvée next year. If it was in the past, the Xia family would definitely push Xia Da out again.But in the past half a year, Xia Da, he will not blindly give in and indulge his two younger brothers, so he intends to let Xia Er or Xia San be the spring husband.

Dang Chunfu sometimes had to build river dams, build city walls, and other projects depending on the situation at the time. Although he could get two liters of rice rations a day, it was only enough for one person.If you get sick, you don't even have the money to see a doctor, let alone the danger of the city wall collapsing and falling into the river.The two of them were naturally unwilling, and after a lot of prevarication, they finally agreed to pay the exemption money from their families.

Xia Da had to leave early in the morning, so Zhang He asked him to rest first.By the time she and Xia Jiniang were in bed, it was Haishi.

Just about to steal some incense, Xia Jiniang looked at her with a half-smile: "Erlang has always been worried that Captain Shixian would borrow young crops from us, and that's why? But Erlang even told his father, but he never told me!"

Zhang He knew that the conversation with Xia Da today would definitely arouse Xia Jiniang's suspicion, so she pretended to be stupid and said in a daze, "Why?"

"Since the family has already had a good harvest, it must be able to save grain seeds, but my father came all the way to find Erlang for grain seeds. Does it mean that what Erlang gave Dad was a strange grain seed that could not be kept?" Xia Jiniang was not present when Zhang He gave the grain seed to Xia Da, and she would not have known about these things if it hadn't been mentioned in Xia Da's words just now.

Zhang He was at a loss for words, wondering whether to tell the truth to Xia Jiniang, and his reason and emotions were also fighting in his mind.Emotionally, she is not willing to lie to Xia Jiniang, but the secrets about her are too unbelievable, and it is not something people in Xia Jiniang's age can easily bear. She cannot guarantee whether Xia Jiniang will treat her as a normal person after knowing it.

Her eyes drifted away and her eyes dodged, and Xia Jiniang had an answer in her heart: "So Erlang has always been unwilling to lend grain seeds to Shi County Captain, because the grain seeds cannot be saved?"

Zhang He was a little flustered: "...Yes."

"Erlang said that the problem of Weiliu in Shixian County has been solved, is it related to the 'grain seeds that can be planted' this time?"

"……Um."

"But, where did Erlang's grain seeds come from?" Xia Jiniang pointed to the secret that Zhang He tried to hide.

"One part is the late grain seed bought by Li Xun's family, and the other part is the early grain seed from Zhang's house. As early as last year, I mixed the two kinds of rice and found new changes by accident. The rice that grows in different places such as Wukou rice, Huanghehe and Yuehe are mixed together, and the next year will either have a poor harvest or a good harvest. If I want to explain it in detail, I am afraid it will take a few days and nights." Zhang He's heart quickly said She has come up with a countermeasure, she doesn't know how to farm, but she is good at fooling people with biology.

Xia Jiniang immediately dispelled most of her doubts after being fooled by her like this.

In the past, she only knew that some early grain seeds could not be used for late grain planting, but more than ten years ago, some grain seeds such as "Huang Yihe" appeared that could be sown as early grain and late grain.Although the yield of late grains such as "Huang Yihe" is only half of that of early grains, so that few people choose to grow late grains, it does not mean that it does not exist.

"I see. But Erlang, you don't have to hide it from Captain Shixian, do you?"

"The main reason is that it is too troublesome to explain, and I don't like to go into details."

"Then why did you explain it to me again?"

"How can this be the same?" Zhang He paused for a while, but did not continue.She wanted to say some deceptive words, but she couldn't hold back Xia Ji Niang, what she said was just a lie, it would be better not to say it.

Xia Jiniang didn't pursue the matter further, and said, "It's a pity that I don't have much experience, otherwise I could help Erlang share his worries."

"What worries do I have? From my point of view, Ji Niang is well versed in astronomy and geography. It seems that as long as you are here, I don't need to worry about anything." Zhang He said sincerely.

Zhang He is optimistic by nature, and he doesn't look for troubles. This made Xia Jiniang both envious and happy. She smiled and said, "Forecasting rain and sunshine is taught by the proverbs of the ancestors. How can it be regarded as a good knowledge of astronomy and geography? It's late at night, you hurry up." Get some sleep, or you won't be able to wake up tomorrow."

"It's getting cold, you're afraid of the cold, you hug me to sleep."
