A village chief who does not want to be a village chief is not a good villager

Even the people in the distant Nan'an City have heard a little bit about the recent hot news in the capital.

I heard that a group of envoys from foreign countries went to the capital recently, and the dancers brought by those envoys were all beautiful and celestial beings, enthusiastic and enthusiastic, with uneven bodies and extremely hot bodies.

I heard that the group of envoys finally opened a Yingbin Building in the capital, and the business in the Yingbin Building is so booming that it is indescribable.For the businessmen in Nan'an City, the only adjective they can say is that Yingbin Building is sure that they are making money every day.

Jian Ping originally took Tian Wen around the county town to see what other good seeds he could buy.Because Nan'an City is the last town in the inland and border areas, there are still a lot of itinerant merchants.Jian Ping comes here several times a month, and he has established relationships with several businessmen who often travel between the border and the inland.

When the other party goes back, please ask the other party to bring some rare seeds that are available in the inland.As for the scented tea, pollen, various vermicelli and desserts produced by Jianjia Village, as long as those merchants are interested, they will sell them enough quantities.

As for sales, Jian Ping's flexible use of learning made Jian Meizhi admire him very much.

Up to now, coupled with Jian Ping's good relationship with the border town, those businessmen with keen senses are more willing to make friends with Jian Ping.

Jian Ping and Tian Wen sat in the teahouse, listening to the surrounding merchants talking about the affairs in the capital.These people have been walking around the entire Great Xia Dynasty all year round, so they naturally know a lot of gossip.

Whether it is true or false, those who listen will enjoy it.

This teahouse was only built last year, and Jian Ping was very 'fortunate' to participate in it.The behind-the-scenes big boss is the tea house composed of the county magistrate Mo Jianji and the garrison chief Bai Huankong. From the beginning, it has not been running an ordinary business.

In order to show his sincerity, Jian Ping naturally had to take part in this kind of thing, to prove that he and the other party were all on the same path.

In the past, the businessmen who contacted those businessmen to discuss seed matters were all carried out in this teahouse.

"Brother Jian Ping, what do foreigners look like?"

There are those lively merchants who, under the repeated inquiries of others, will generously say things that others don't know.

For example, the appearance of those Gentiles or something.

Honey-colored skin, golden hair.The green or blue or even fiery pupils made Tian Wen very curious.

Can people really grow up like that?

Jian Ping nodded, and poured Tian Wen a cup of tea by the way.The two of them walked for a long time. Although they were not yet hungry, their thirst was unbearable.

Although Tian Wen looked shocked, Bu Cai's speed did not slow down much.There is nothing more for two people, two bowls of rice plus three dishes and one soup.

Seriously speaking, it is considered rich in the eyes of others.

Although Tian Wen has now been formed by Jian Ping into the habit of drinking a bowl of soup before eating, the shops outside do not have the habit of serving soup before eating.

In other words, northerners don't have this habit?

Before the soup was served, Tian Wen helped the two of them make a bowl of rice and put it away, and then put the rice bowl within reach of both of them.

By the way, the rice in the north is generally sold in small pots. After all, if you sell it in a bowl, you may not be able to eat a bowl and it will be troublesome.

One serving of braised fish, one serving of seasonal vegetables, and one serving of stewed pork vermicelli. Jian Ping and Tian Wen can be regarded as precepts and deeds in a sense on how to promote their own products.

The ten villages near Nan'an City with Jian's Village as the center have all started to raise fish in paddy fields, so it is rare that the whole Nan'an City produces as much fish as some cities in the south.

Because there are more fish, not only is there an extra meat dish on the dining table of every household, but the cost of eating fish outside has also been reduced a lot. It is the same dish that most people can afford now.

As for stewed pork vermicelli, after solving the food crisis in the military camp, Jian Ping improved the method of making starch from potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the starch production increased tenfold.

Except for the [Jin Yu Man Tang] which was mixed with some secret ingredients, it was sold to the previous big customer at a price of one tael of silver per catty, and ordinary vermicelli is now sold to shops in Nan'an City for one hundred cents per catty. .

It is absolutely impossible for such a thing to suffer.

It is precisely because of this that there have been a lot more potatoes and sweet potatoes in the surrounding villages this season.Of course, they are not planted in the precious land where food is grown, but are planted in idle vegetable-growing places similar to the backyards of every family.

After all, in spring, there is really no shortage of vegetables to eat, so every household's demand for seasonal vegetables is not so urgent.

In this way, it is natural for everyone to be happy to plant something that can be exchanged for money in the vacated space.

Jian Ping held the rice bowl and took a few mouthfuls slowly.Looking at Jian Ping's pensive look, Tian Wen picked up a piece of fish and picked out all the bones inside before putting it into Jian Ping's bowl.

Looking at the extra things in the bowl, Jian Ping finally came to his senses.Looking at Tian Wen with a smile, he mixed the fish meat that Tian Wen had put in with a mouthful of rice and stuffed it all into his mouth.

Tian Wen watched Jian Ping start to eat, with complete satisfaction on his face.

And on the table behind the two of them, a certain businessman who traveled all over the world was sighing with the neighboring table.

"If you want to talk about those foreign girls, they are beautiful. I haven't seen that Zhong Yuanhou, at such a young age, he can still fall out with his family because of a foreign dancer."

"What? Marquis Zhongyuan? Oh my god, that's a real prince and grandson!" The people at the same table were also startled after hearing the news.

Although they met at the same table, one of them went north to the capital, and the other went south to Jiangnan, so the things they knew were really different.

And sitting together now is to communicate with each other, so as not to commit any taboos without knowing it.

"Isn't it?" The person who spoke at the beginning, although he tried his best to put on a look of emotion, told himself the news that his friends didn't know, and made everyone around him notice his matter, his face was faintly with pride.

Not to mention that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and that this dynasty is also very open to discussing officials and government affairs, so no one thinks that this matter cannot be said.

What's more, this incident is already a 'household name' in the capital, and even if it has any impact, it will not affect places so far away from the border.

So the person who told the news had an even more smug expression on his face. "You guys don't know, when I left, that Marquis Zhongyuan was already going to bring that dancing girl named Piaoxue back to his residence, but Mrs. Hou insisted against her consent, that's why there was a quarrel!"

The friends at the same table were somewhat knowledgeable, so they were a little more puzzled when they heard the words. "It's just bringing a dancer back to the mansion. It's not a big deal. There are many men with three wives and four concubines, let alone a Marquis. Then Mrs. Hou is a bit too tough, right?"

The friends at the same table looked puzzled, and the people around them also had the same doubts.On the contrary, the person who provided the news, after hearing everyone's questions, looked even more proud.

"That's because you don't know, that's because Lord Hou is going to marry that dancer in a big sedan chair into the house as an ordinary wife!"

"Hiss!~" There was a gasping voice, even Tian Wen, who hadn't paid attention to this matter before, was a little confused when he heard it.

"Then is Lord Hou crazy?" Tian Wen lowered his voice, and only muttered in a low voice that Jian Ping and he could hear.

Jian Ping smiled, but his heart became more and more clear.I'm afraid it's not that Lord Hou is crazy, but that he was plotted against.

But at this time, Jian Ping couldn't say much.

"What is so far away from the capital, just listen to it for fun. Let's eat quickly, we have to go back after eating."

Jian Ping winked at Tian Wen, and Tian Wen quickly understood what the other party meant.After that, he didn't say anything more, and followed Jian Ping to speed up his meal.

Although the two of them speeded up their meal, they didn't eat at the speed of gobbling.After all, eating slowly is the healthy way to eat.

This time, although it can't be regarded as chewing slowly, it is just saving the time of talking.

After eating, the two of them went to the store to lead the donkey cart.A cartful of seeds can be regarded as a bountiful harvest today.On the way home, Jian Ping comforted Tian Wen for a long time before Tian Wen's dignified expression relaxed.

But this ease, when he got home, after listening to Jian Ping's guess, it completely disappeared from Tian Wen's face.

"What? Is this true??"

Tian Wen stood up abruptly, with a look of disbelief.On the contrary, it was Jian Ping who expressed the guess in his heart, with a very calm expression.

"It's more or less inseparable. If there is no one behind this incident, I still don't believe it." Jian Ping took a sip of the teacup slowly.

Although Tian Wen made a lot of scented teas, Jian Ping didn't really like drinking those colorful teas.So what the Jian family drinks is the fruit tea that Jian Ping taught Tian Wen to make.

Tian Wen sat down slowly, touched his chest, his face was full of emotion. "The lives of those rich and powerful families are really beyond our imagination."

After sighing, Tian Wen hurriedly asked another question. "Then it shouldn't have anything to do with us?"

"After all, that's Lord Hou in the capital."

Although Tian Wen said this, his eyes and mouth were all wrinkled.I was taught by Jian Ping just now that the so-called Marquis Zhongyuan is the family of General Bai Huankong.

And the current Marquis Zhongyuan is the father of General Bai Huankong, and it's hard for Tian Wen to guess what General Bai's expression is after his father did such a... thing.

Tian Wen struggled over there, but Jian Ping narrowed his eyes slightly.Tian Wen was also worried about whether Bai Huankong would feel sad, but Jian Ping was worried that Bai Huankong might be behind this incident.

After all, there is a father in the capital who is far more indifferent than the stepfather, plus a stepmother and a younger brother who is not close at all and even wants to kill him.

If Bai Huankong had any affection for that family, even if Jian Ping was killed, Jian Ping would not believe it.

And with Jian Ping's intuition and observation, it's not hard to find out that Bai Huankong is the real hungry wolf who eats people and doesn't spit out bones, compared to Mo Jianji's superficial little fox.

"There is only a new emperor behind Bai Huankong..." Before Jian Ping finished speaking, he saw Tian Wen's eyes widen completely when he said the word 'new emperor'.

It is not difficult to understand when you think about it, the natives have a deep-rooted fear of imperial power.Jian Ping didn't say much on this issue, and began to analyze to Tian Wen the possible impact of the events in the Hou Mansion on their family.

"But Bai Huankong's younger brother is different. That younger brother not only has the mother of Mrs. Hou Fu, but also the uncle of Minister of the Ministry of War." Jian Ping gently licked his teeth with the tip of his tongue, and narrowed his eyes again.

"This time, I'm afraid Bai Huankong did it, the purpose is to change the Hou Mansion."

Tian Wen stroked the violently beating heart, although he was too scared to speak, he didn't make a sound to stop Jian Ping from continuing.

"If Bai Huankong could kill the mother and son at once, we might have nothing to do with us. But now it seems that Bai Huankong still wants to be the oriole behind the scenes. In this way, we may be in a little trouble gone."

"No, the matter of the Hou's Mansion has nothing to do with ordinary people like us?" Tian Wen eased his emotions, but was still a little depressed.Why is it depressed, because Tian Wen intuitively knows that even if he doesn't want to believe it, as long as Jian Ping says it, it will probably come true in the end.

It was precisely because of this that Tian Wen was even more nervous.After all, no matter what they say, they are just a group of powerless people.

And the Hou's Mansion in the capital is the Hou's Mansion.

"From the information that Bai Huankong and Mo Jianji accidentally revealed on weekdays, and the information we have seen, it is not difficult to find that the younger brother of Bai Huankong probably wants to kill Bai Huankong. Last year in the military camp The lack of food is probably the other party's handwriting. It's such a big deal, but it hasn't been done yet, you say, as long as the younger brother has no problem with his mind, will he look back and find out why?"

Why, naturally, it was because of Jian Ping's existence that the opponent's plot failed.

Tian Wen was almost helpless.

But obviously, Jian Ping didn't think there was any difficulty in this matter. "It's no big deal." Looking at Tian Wen's worried look, Jian Ping felt that it was more important to appease Tian Wen.

Seeing this, Tian Wen really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Don't worry, what we did before was still very hidden. Even the people in the town didn't find out, let alone people far away in the capital."

Jian Ping smiled and patted Tian Wen in his arms, he was really not worried.Those people who harvested the grain back then were probably the people of Bai Huankong's younger brother.

Whether it's the other party collecting food or monitoring Nan'an City, I have cooperated.So after such a long time, Jian Ping really didn't worry much about what people in the capital could find out.

You must know that if something is really found out, the first unlucky one must not be the person who helped Bai Huankong.It was the people who were sent by the people opposite Bai Huankong to do things.

The hat of being unfavorable in doing things must be buckled under the situation of grasping oneself.

Taking Jian Ping to the ancients, oh no, it should be said that he understands this kind of people who are subordinates. Even if it is for self-protection, those people will never let people find out what "Jian Ping" did in it .

The best way for those who want to protect themselves is to push all their faults to an obvious person who no one can afford to offend.

For example - Longevity Hall.
