Hanhou

Not long after Zhao Jia bought the house, he acquired [-] mu of Susukida in the outskirts of the city.

In the land of Gyeonggi, the population reaches hundreds of thousands, and there are a large number of granted land, which pushes the price of good land extremely high.Buying an acre of Zhongtian in the suburbs of Chang'an, the money spent can be equivalent to five or six acres in the border county.

Zhao Jia has no shortage of money and cloth, and considering his future plans, he still needs to plan carefully.

His fields are not for farming, but mainly for building farms and raising livestock, chickens and ducks.Whether the fields are fertile or not is of little concern to him.

The caravan traveled westward to get alfalfa seeds, which were planted in Shaling as a trial, and the requirements for soil fertility are not high.Moreover, Susukida can be improved, as long as you are willing to work hard and spend a certain amount of time, even if it is not as good as Ueda, it is not a big problem to improve the soil strength.

After counting the money and silk in his hand, Zhao Jia once wanted to buy wasteland.

I personally went to the suburbs and asked the government office, only to find out that the wasteland near Chang'an is not so easy to buy, and the rules and regulations are even more troublesome than buying fields.

After weighing, Zhao Jia finally made a decision to buy [-] mu of Susukida near Linyuan.Seeing that the grain seedlings had grown in the field, the landlord was allowed to finish planting this season's grain.

Unexpectedly, the landlord had no intention of continuing to cultivate, and wanted to sell the millet in the field, and offered a price on the spot, hoping to get an extra sum of money, and rent a shop facing the street in the city to do some small business.

Hearing the amount of money requested by the other party, Zhao Jia did not speak, and Wei Qing and Zhao Ponu who accompanied him were all frowning.

The teenagers grew up on the livestock farm and were good at farming and grazing.Seeing the growth of millet in the field, one can conclude that the harvest after autumn will not be too good.If the landlord offers a reasonable price, they will not speak up.But the other party was clearly asking for a lot of money.

Can produce four stones per mu?The few elders in Lin Yuan did not dare to say so.They were born in a farming family, and they used good seeds, all of which were grown in the fields!

Seeing the unkind faces of the youngsters, the landlord felt a little thumping in his heart.

He knew that his asking price was too high, but there was no such shop after this village, so if he insisted, maybe the other party would just nod and agree?

The most important thing is that Zhao Jia Shitian did not reveal his identity, nor did he wear an official seal ribbon.Mistakenly thinking that he was a businessman, the landlord not only demanded a high price, but there was also a hint of threat in his words.

"My family ancestor used to be the general of Baizhi Hou's family, and there is a lot of friendship in the village. Unlike me, you want to buy [-] mu of land nearby, and it is not easy."

Hearing these words, the corners of Zhao Jia's mouth curled up slightly, and he stopped the impulsive Gongsun Ao and Zhao Ponu with his crossed arms, and said, "Probably I didn't understand clearly, the number of mu doesn't have to be five hundred, and it doesn't need to be connected together."

After the words fell, ignoring the landlord's stunned expression, he turned around and was about to leave.

If the price is within a reasonable range, he doesn't mind letting the other party earn more.However, this lion opened his mouth wide, ready to slaughter the fat sheep. No matter how much money Zhao Jia had, he had no intention of being taken advantage of.

Seeing that Zhao Jia was really about to leave instead of putting on a show, the landlord finally became anxious and stepped forward to stop him.

"Wait a minute!"

He had long wanted to market the land, but the buyers either picked and picked, or kept the price extremely low.

Although the price of fields near Chang'an is high, it also depends on the area and land quality.For example, Zhao Jia would not have bought the [-] mu of Susukida if he hadn't planned to build a farm.

"Bold!"

Seeing that the landlord actually blocked the way, Zhao Puonu became even more angry. Fortunately, he was stopped by Zhao Jia, so he did not attack on the spot.

Thinking that Zhao Jia was easy to talk, the landlord continued to pester him with a cheeky face.

Seeing what his father did, the landlord's son couldn't speak out that he was wrong, so he went home quietly and told his parents about the matter.

The two old men are kind and kind, knowing what their eldest son did, they both showed anger.

"How dare you do that!"

The old man is more than seventy years old, his beard and hair are white, and his body is still very strong.Every festival, Chang'an's internal history will send people to send corn and mutton, and he does not need to salute when he sees officials with two thousand shi.

Receiving preferential treatment from the imperial court and being admired by the villagers, the elderly know the importance of standing up for themselves.

He treats people loyally all his life, he doesn't want his son to be so greedy.Let people know that his family is such a market, and its good reputation will be ruined.

Thinking of this, the old man couldn't sit still any longer, put down the little great-grandson in his arms, picked up the wooden stick beside him, and walked like the wind all the way, about to "educate" his son.

A seven or eight-year-old boy walked into the house with a rattan basket on his back. Seeing that his great-grandfather was furious and still holding a wooden stick in his hand, he hurriedly stepped aside, looked at his father who was following behind his great-grandfather, and said doubtfully, "Ah Weng, come out!" What happened?"

"Don't ask, stay at home and take care of me. I'll talk about it when I come back."

"promise!"

Watching his great-grandfather and father leave, the boy put down the rattan basket and closed the courtyard door.Seeing the great-grandmother sitting in the house with her younger brother, the mother and two sisters were busy weaving, so they lit a fire under the stove to boil water.

The old man hurried all the way, and when he reached the ground, he saw his son blocking a young man and several young men. The young man frowned slightly, and the young men showed displeasure and were very impatient.

Guessing that the situation is as the eldest grandson said, the old man swung his wooden staff and rushed forward without saying a word: "Nizi!"

Hearing the old father's voice, the landlord was taken aback.Turning around and seeing the familiar wooden stick, he shivered immediately.With a dazed kung fu, he was hit on the thigh.Breathing in the pain, he dared not dodge, for fear that the old father's wooden stick would be empty and he would lose his balance and dodge.

After three solid blows, the landlord just bent down to support the old man, and said cautiously: "Why did Ah Weng come here?"

"If I don't come, you will completely ruin your family's reputation!" The old man stared angrily. After all, he is old and his strength is limited. In his early years, how could he stop three times, "You don't want to do anything about the market!" Leave it to my grandson. Don’t interfere with the shops in the city, just concentrate on taking care of the [-] acres of farmland at home.”

After saying that, the old man ignored his son, walked towards Zhao Jia, and said sincerely: "My son is greedy, please don't blame him."

The old man was reasonable, and Zhao Jia had no intention of embarrassing him. He still sold [-] mu of land, and the price of the land remained unchanged.

"Jun Gaoyi!" The old man sighed.

After exchanging the deed, Zhao Jia saw that the old man hesitated to speak, knowing what the other party was thinking, he opened his mouth immediately, and the landlord's affairs were known to heaven and earth, and in the end, no third party would know about the two parties.

"Thank you sir!"

In memory of Zhao Jia's generosity, in addition to the [-] mu of Susukida, the old man gave Zhao Jia another [-] mu of woodland.All the wood in the forest has grown, and it can be used to build houses and fences.

Zhao Jia wanted to pay, but the old man refused to accept it.If Zhao Jiaqiang gave it to him, he would throw away the stick and bend over as if.

With no other choice, Zhao Jia had no choice but to accept the forest land.Then he ordered the family boy to buy a cow and five sheep, add some cloth and millet, and send them to the old man's house.

After the money cloth was delivered, the land deed was issued, and the land title was established. The five hundred acres of Susukida and two acres of woodland were all owned by Zhao Jia.

Because he often had to stay in the barracks and his servants hadn't arrived yet, he didn't want to trouble Cao Shi any longer, so he simply hired a farmer from Beishi.And pay an extra commission to let them build a wooden house in the field while taking care of the millet.

By the time Hu Bo and his party arrived, the wooden house had been built and could be moved in after cleaning.

After hearing Zhao Jia’s introduction, Huber divided the healthy servants and servants he brought into two groups. One group was larger in number and was responsible for building fences in the suburbs and taking care of the brought livestock; the other group drove carts to follow Zhao Jia into the city. .

"Lang Jun, there are five boxes of gold in the car."

After escaping from Longcheng, Wei Qing'e went to the grassland again, using the familiar Qiang tribe to cover up his identity, and turned westward for a certain distance.

On the way, they met a caravan from Jixi, and the two sides exchanged talks and gestures, and after a bargain, all the silk and caramel that Wei Qingmo carried were sold out, and the market even offered a high price.The buyer turned his back, and couldn't hide his excitement.

Both sides are satisfied with the deal.

Wei Qingmo brought back gold, precious stones and two large pieces of jade, left a bag of refined salt and half a cart of Yimian to the Qiang tribe, and exchanged a cart of cloth for fur, and managed the Qiang tribe well.

From the leader to the ordinary herdsmen, everyone has a good impression of this caravan and welcomes their arrival even more.

The priest's eyes were filled with suspicion, but after Wei Qing'e sent out half a box of solidified broth, Wei Qiu cooked a pot of Yi noodles, and the tempting aroma filled the tent, the last "difficulty" in the tribe was quickly overcome.

When leaving the grassland, Wei Qing'e had an extra eagle sculpture representing the Tuoba Qiang tribe in his hand.As long as you hold this eagle eagle, you will be treated warmly if you meet any Tuoba Qiang tribe.

"Before the servant left, Miss Wei specially sent a box of gold and two boxes of medicinal materials. The news of the Xiongnu's intention to send envoys was also heard by the girl from other departments and passed back to the county."

After listening to Hu Bo's narration, Zhao Jia couldn't help feeling emotional when he thought of Wei Qing'e today, compared to the girl who sat by the hearth and said she wanted to marry her in the past.

Time can change people the most.

At that time, my sister would never have expected that she would be able to walk out of the road she is today.

Same with myself.

Originally determined to develop animal husbandry and become a farmer, how did he get to where he is today?

Occasionally in his dreams at midnight, he could still see the Xiongnu besieging the livestock farm, and the elder He led the villagers to help; the half-grown boy rode a horse and brandished a weapon to fight the enemy to the death.

The fire scorched the air, and the smoke billowed like a huge mouth that was about to swallow everything.

The old witch recited the more ancient sacrificial words, and everyone stood in front of the fire, watching from night to dawn, until the last wisp of smoke dissipated.

The cruelty of the times gave birth to a strong nation.

With vicious and greedy enemies on the sidelines, Han Jiaerlang must take up arms, mount his horse, defend the country with his life, and stain the blade with the blood of the enemy.

The horn is sounded, and the Han flag is flying.

After experiencing the blood and fire on the battlefield, even in Chang'an, Zhao Jia still often remembers the horn of Bianjun.Amidst the sound of the horn, there was the roar of the frontier army rushing towards the enemy.

At the banquet in the Han Palace, he could hear extravagant music, but what he thought of was the neighing of war horses, the clash of swords, and a world stained red with blood.

"Lang Jun?"

Hu Bo's voice awakened Zhao Jia from his contemplation.

Turning his head, seeing the old servant's worried expression, Zhao Jia smiled comfortingly.

"I'm fine. All the boys and servants at home are lent out by the Marquis of Pingyang, let everyone get to know them for two days, so that they can be returned."

"promise!"

The convoy entered the south of the city and stopped in front of Zhao Jia's mansion.

The healthy servant and the maid jumped off the railing one after another, untied the rope neatly, and moved the boxes and cages into the mansion.

Wei Juan and a woman lifted the rattan basket together, and when they turned around, they saw Gongsun Ao with reddish ears, and couldn't help smiling slightly, with white teeth and bright eyes, so beautiful and quiet.

The girl's smile came into view, not only Gongsun Ao's ears were red, but also his face and neck were completely red, causing Zhao Puonu to burst out laughing.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Jia couldn't help laughing.

"Book of Rites" has records, eating and drinking men and women, people's great desires exist.Mencius and other elders also said that if there are few people, you will admire your parents, and if you know lust, you will admire Shaoai.

Gongsun Ao's performance like this is just a young man's heart.

Thinking back to himself when he was the same age, Zhao Jia inexplicably felt a bit at a loss.Maybe we should have a long talk with Wei Sangong, Bingzhu, to make up for one or two?

Hu Bo and his entourage were settled properly, and saw that there was no need for many people in the house, leaving ten healthy servants and maids, and the rest went to the outskirts of the city, and seized the time to build a row house with the foundation, and the poultry house had to be built first.

Uncle Hu and Uncle Chang inspected all the fields and asked Zhao Jia for instructions to remove hundreds of acres of grain seedlings and rush to plant a batch of grass.

"The land is weak, the yield per mu is really limited, and there is little rain in the sky. I may not be able to harvest a stone after autumn. It is better to plant grass."

Zhao Jia didn't raise any objections, and the elder uncle immediately led someone to do it.

The servant Geng hired before did not leave, and worked with the healthy servant.Although it is a pity to eradicate the grain seedlings, the master ordered that he should contribute with his wages, so why bother to make others hate him.

The confusion of servant Geng at this time will soon turn into exclamation.

As the uncle expected, from May to June and then to July, there was no rain in the vicinity of Chang'an, and the millet withered and died.When it comes to the autumn harvest, the harvested grain is less than one-third of previous years.Even if the imperial court waives the grain tax for one year, each family has to tighten their belts to live.

On the other hand, in Zhao Jia’s farm, because of planting pastures and digging canals and wells nearby to ensure irrigation, the cattle and sheep grew fat, the chickens and ducks were not lost, and the castrated porpoises began to grow fat.

After walking around the farm, Wei Yue and Li Danghu quickly bought the nearby fields and planned to partner with Zhao Jia.Cao Shi was equally moved, and used the fertile fields near Chang'an to replace the hundreds of acres of middle fields next to the farm.

The news could not be concealed, and many nobles in the south of the city were waiting to see the joke.When Liu Che heard the report, he was also curious and asked Han Yan specifically.

Cao Shi didn't care about the rumors in the city at all, he did what he had to do, and made up his mind that when he made money, let those jokers regret it!

Now, Zhao Jia's farm has just started, and the effect has not yet appeared.

When Hu Bo and others were busy, the hired servants were all suspicious, let alone the nobles from Chang'an.Even if they have heard of Zhao Jia's name, they will not follow suit.However, people learned to dig wells to fight drought. In less than half a month, near the nobleman's fields, people began to dig wells one after another, and it gradually became a busy scene.

Half a month after Hu Bo and his party arrived, a flying cavalry from Bianjun finally arrived in Beijing, bringing news of the Huns' envoy.

Previously, it was just a rumor on the grassland, and the chiefs of the border counties only added a few sentences to the military newspaper, and did not officially write it into a memorial.This time, the Xiongnu officially delivered the letter of credence, and the visitor had already arrived at the border of Han and was waiting to enter the border county.

The memorial details the identity of the chief envoy, the size of the mission, and the intention of the other party.

"And relatives?"

Putting down the memorial, Liu Che had a bad expression.

When he didn't know that the grassland was in chaos, he dared to pull up the big banner with a tiger's skin, ready to take advantage of the Han family, it was just whimsical!

Thinking of this, Liu Che immediately called Prime Minister Wei Wan and General Dou Ying into the announcement room, the monarch and his ministers discussed it, and then went to Changle Palace to pay their respects and consult the Queen Mother Dou.After three consecutive court meetings, the ministers presided over the matter. Zhao Jia, Wei Yue, Li Danghu and Cao Shi were ordered to enter the court, behind the two thousand stone officials.

The envoys of the Huns were on the way, but they didn't know that the situation on the grassland had already been found out by the Han Dynasty. The plan of King Youxian and King Youguli could not succeed at all.

The young emperor of the Han family is accumulating strength in Chang'an, with the keynote of "the first emperor never made peace", he firmly rejects the Xiongnu's policy of making peace, and expresses in front of the ministers that if the Huns dare to threaten to send troops, they will mobilize the army to fight. Completely wipe out the opponent's arrogance!

Want to get married and make your spring and autumn dream!

If you continue to be arrogant, just two words, beat you!One more word, beat you to death!
