Lord, he is not a man [infrastructure]

When Piglet led Tang Bo to Gu Hui's room, the Lord Young Master of the White Deer Collar went off in person, and the news that he punched the little giant down spread from the brothel at flying speed.

People who have met Tang Bo and know a little bit about him don't believe the rumors, but there are quite a few people who have seen the gambling fight with their own eyes, especially the gold sellers in the brothel. It was a sleepy expression.

As soon as Tang Bo entered the room, he heard a burst of "hearty and hearty laughter": "Well, well, it's really a boy born from a hero. Tang Bo, I didn't expect your combat power to be so strong. In the future, I will recruit fighters from the Luma Principality. recommend you."

Recommend your mother!The three lords present cursed together with Tang Bo in their hearts.

It is only heard that those who are recommended to become officials or receive benefits, recommending people to be soldiers, is it not forcing people to die?

Tang Bo swept his eyes across the room, nodded to the three strangers in fine linen clothes, and finally fell on Gu Hui's face, looked him up and down, and said slowly: "Mrs. Ma Ai told me You are very thick-skinned, I still don't believe it, but now I believe it."

Gu Hui lowered his face, and waved his hand to make all the women waiting in the room retreat, and his words also sounded ugly: "Tang Bo, do you know what aristocratic etiquette is? I only talk to you for your father's sake, It is because your father and we are both nobles and neighbors that we canceled all the unpaid debts owed by your father. Is this how you repay my kindness now?"

"Grace?" Tang Bo is funny, these nobles really have the ability to talk and distort their own words, the original gambling ghost father is like this, and this Gu Hui is also like this.

"Lord Gu, you have such an embarrassing face. Don't you want to tell me and others that you Sanshuling will lose this competition just because you let me in the dark? If that's the case, why don't we compete again? Compete again Two or three times are fine, but the reward for the second competition will be the land lease right of the White Deer Territory in your hand. How about it, dare to compare?"

Of course dare!Gu Hui really wanted to gamble with Tang Bo again, but his rationality stopped him: "The person I found has been injured by you, and I can't find a suitable one if I look for it temporarily, let's have another round of gambling It's better to put it later." Before that, he had to figure out why Tang Bo became so powerful.

Gu Hui put on a straight face again: "Tang Bo, your father doesn't even dare to talk to me like this."

"That's because he has a big belly. My belly is relatively small, very small, smaller than a wheatgrass." The word belly is very vivid, and the guests laughed lightly.

【Congratulations!Gu Hui, the lord of the Three Trees, has a mortal hatred for you, and he can't wait to use 10 kinds of torture. The moral value of the reformed person is -11.6.The total character value of the transformed person: +711.9, -[-]. 】

Tang Bo paused, and he didn't expect Gu Hui to bite the hook right away, "Since Lord Gu doesn't plan to compete with me for a second match, then according to the agreement, please write a document first, explaining that my father has owed but not yet All debts paid off will be written off.”

"Do you still need a document? I have already returned your father's IOU to you, and there are three lords to testify." Gu Hui made it clear that he refused to write another document.

Tang Bo became more and more suspicious that his gambler father probably owed Gu Hui something, and made a secret agreement.

"Really, I knew you wouldn't write it. I wrote a copy. If you have no problem after reading it, you can directly sign or press a fingerprint. These three lords can also be personal certificates." Tang Bo swiped from his pocket. He took out a document that he had already written.

The three lords read the content of the document and felt that the language was concise and clear, without any traps.

【Congratulations!The reformed person successfully completed the second side task, solved the restraint of the gambler's father, and obtained the position of Lord of the White Deer Territory.The transformed person gets a reward of -200 character value and 20 cubic meters of personal space.The transformed person has a total of 230 cubic meters of portable space, and the total character value: +11.6, -911.9. 】

Tang Bo was taken aback for a rare moment.Calculated from the distance, the butler should have just arrived in Lvma City at this time.Should I praise the steward for his skill, he actually took down his position as the lord when he got there.

He could hear Goudan broadcasting to him, indicating that Luma City had recognized his lord and baron status and included him in the noble tree, including his lord's seal, which was ready to be issued.

He thought that Luma City would at least send someone over to check it out.Maybe it was the twenty gold coins he handed over to the steward that made a difference?

No matter what, it is a good thing to be able to officially obtain the title of lord and baron. This made Tang Bo feel a lot better, and decided to be a little more polite to Gu Hui.

Gu Hui took the document passed to him, pressed it on the table without looking at it, and began to earnestly inquire about Tang Ze's physical condition, and said that he would visit Tang Ze.

Seeing his refusal to sign, Tang Bo said politely, "What? Lord Gu intends to renege on his debt?"

The three lords looked at Gu Hui very playfully.

Gu Hui wished he could kill Tang Bo with an axe, but he squeezed out a smile on his face: "What do you mean by repudiation? It's because you don't trust me, and you don't trust these three lords, and I didn't carry the lord's seal with me."

"It's okay without the main seal. We can ask the three lords to sign in the witness column." Tang Bo looked at the three lords: "This matter will trouble you all, and I would like to give each of you ten melon seeds as a gift." gratitude."

It's good to get it, and it's not bad for them to get a certificate, but the three lords still looked at Gu Hui, at least they were also invited by Gu Hui.

Gu Hui really wanted to tell you not to be this witness, but can he say it?Is he still shameless?

He could only pretend to be generous and chuckled: "If that's the case, then trouble the three of you, who made this child not trust me."

So the three lords all signed their names in the witness column. Gu Hui could only sign his full name no matter how reluctant he was. Before signing, he read the contents of the document over and over again.

Seeing Tang Bo put away the documents solemnly, Gu Hui sneered in his heart: So what if you defended yourself?It is true that your father still owes me a sum, but he did not write an IOU for that debt, but wrote a marriage letter.

Yes, Tang Ze promised to marry Gu Hui's cousin, and just waited for that cousin's husband to die.

Cousin Gu Hui was also married to a minor nobleman, a third-class baron, with the same status as Tang Ze, but she had no actual territory, and only found a position as a tax officer in the territory of an earl.

Cousin Gu Hui looked down on this husband very much, but she was average in appearance. If it wasn't for her decent family background, she might not be able to marry her current husband.

But the third-class baron was not in good health, and after all these years, he seemed to be dying soon.

Cousin Gu Hui started to seek her next family early on, and this time she vowed to marry a powerful nobleman.After Gu Hui knew this cousin's ambition, he recommended Tang Ze to her.

Gu Hui also promised that his cousin would help her child win the title and title of the next lord of Bailu.

Cousin Gu Hui and Gu Hui hit it off immediately. If it wasn't for fear of leaving a clue, Cousin Gu Hui would have killed her current husband immediately and married into the Tang family.

Tang Bo didn't know that Daddy Gambling had dug a huge hole for him, but he knew that he probably wouldn't care.

Piglet saw that the matter was over, and Tang Bo was about to take Gu Ding away, so he quickly hinted to Gu Hui: "My lord, the young master has been playing outside for so long, it's time to go home."

Gu Hui seemed to be thinking of his nominal son at this time, and coldly shouted at Gu Ding who was sticking to Tang Bo: "Little beast, come here!"

Gu Ding blinked: "Old bastard, are you calling me?"

The three lords who were invited to testify doubted their ears. Are they father and son?Call each other animals?And isn't this kid who seems to be only four or five years old too courageous?

Gu Ding was furious, he had nothing to do with the son of the lord of another family, could he still not be able to deal with this son in name?

"Come here! Take the young master down!"

Immediately, two guards with swords came in and grabbed Gu Ding with their hands.

Gu Ding shrank into Tang Bo's arms, and shouted fearfully: "Brother Tang, save me!"

Tang Bo picked up the little thing and asked with a smile, "Work for me in the future?"

Gu Ding agreed without forgetting to mention the conditions: "Okay! But you have to take care of food, drink, and life, and protect me."

Tang Bo saw that Lao Li was promising, and he was very easy to talk to: "Okay."

Jia Dou and Tian Min stopped the guards who came to arrest him, and they were not allowed to take a step closer to the young master.

Both sides drew iron swords.

Seeing that neither side could get off the stage, and the three lords couldn't keep watching the show, one of them coughed dryly: "Lord Gu, is this your son? Children like to play, and he doesn't want to go home, so let him be in Lord Tang's house." Stay at home for a few days, I believe Young Master Tang will take good care of your son. When the child gets tired of playing, he will naturally go home."

The other two lords also smoothed things over with a smile: "That's right, kid, please speak carefully, don't be harsh on him."

Gu Hui cursed secretly: If this is your son, you would have stabbed him, why don't you kill him?Who are you kidding!

"Tang Bo, how many melon seeds did you bring, and at what price are you willing to sell them? Are you willing to exchange them?" The three lords simply changed the subject.Ten seeds are too few. If you want to plant on a large scale, you need at least a thousand seeds.

Gu Hui couldn't swallow this breath, and didn't want Tang Bo to do business with him, so he deliberately said sarcastically: "Tang Bo, I didn't expect you to be so kind and willing to help me raise my son."

Tang Bo put down Gu Ding, rubbed his hair, and said softly, "Gu Ding is a good boy, besides, his mother Ma Ai also asked me to take good care of him."

As long as Gu Hui heard Tang Bo mention Ma Ai, he would be very angry, but he couldn't tell the truth about Tang Bo and Ma Ai's affair, so he could only get angry by himself, looking at Tang Bo and Gu Ding as if poisoned.

"Gu Ding, if you don't go back with me today, you don't want to go back to Sanshuling in the future." Gu Hui gave this "shame" an ultimatum.

Gu Ding slapped and hugged Tang Bo's thigh, "That's great, I will live with Brother Tang from now on. But remember, old bastard, I am your only legitimate child, and my title is the same as yours. If If you die, the three tree collar is mine, if you dare to hand over the three tree collar to other people, don't blame me for chopping them up."

"Want my territory? You're dreaming!" Gu Hui slapped the table angrily.

Tang Bo looked at Pijie standing behind Gu Hui, and suddenly smiled: "Lord Gu doesn't want to pass the territory to his son, does he want to pass it to his half-brother? Tsk, no wonder Ma Ai said you have a bad heart Normally, you can keep the half-brother who harassed your wife and tried to lure your wife to kill you and take the lord's position by your side as a confidant, this kind of heart is indeed not ordinary."

The three lords were taken aback, what kind of shocking melon is this?Everyone looked at Gu Hui curiously.

Piglet was so frightened that he almost peed out, and hurriedly shouted: "My lord! Don't listen to his nonsense, I didn't!"

Good guy!The three lords looked at Piglet again.Well now, they who didn't know the identity of Pijie now also know the real relationship between Pijie and Gu Hui.

Gu Hui's face was completely blackened into ink, and he drank in a low voice: "I won't believe his nonsense, you go down first."

Tang Bo let out a low laugh, whoever heard the meaning would understand.

And did Gu Hui believe it... If he didn't believe it, would you believe it?

Piglet hated Tang Bo to death, but he could only go down full of unease.

"Tang Bo, have you considered the consequences of insulting my lord and my lord like this?" Gu Hui wished he could kill Tang Bo on the spot.

Tang Bo retorted: "It's just a fact, why insult?"

"Tang Bo, I have written down everything you did and said today. I hope you don't regret it." Gu Hui forcibly held his respect, and reluctantly said some polite words to the three lords, letting them have fun, and soon leave.

Tang Bo suspected that [-]% of this person had made arrangements in advance, and it seemed that he had to be careful on the way back.

The remaining three lord guests were as if they didn't know that Gu Hui and Tang Bo had a falling out - it didn't do them any harm. They introduced their identities to Tang Bo and complimented each other.

When it came to melon seeds, Tang Bo kept his promise and gave them ten seeds.

The three felt that there were too few and wanted to buy some more.

Tang Bo offered a price of ten seeds for one gold coin.

The price is very high. Although the melon is a fruit that has never been seen in the vicinity, the three lords will not be taken advantage of for a little appetite.

After discussion, Tang Bo and them agreed to barter. One melon seed was exchanged for one catty of seeds that Bailuling did not have. If the seeds were heavier or larger, they would be calculated as ten catties.

The three lords agreed on the exchange price considering that this melon was a variety they had never seen before.

"Let's go, there is nothing to see here. My goods are all behind, including seeds, grain, and cloth. Let's go and have a look together?" A lord got up.

The three lords were invited by Gu Hui, so it was impossible for them to come here for nothing. They all brought a lot of goods and planned to trade in Sanshu City.

Tang Bo heard that they had brought a lot of food, so he went happily.

"You are lucky. We haven't opened yet. We were planning to participate in the Sanshu City fair tomorrow. Now you can choose first." The lord who showed more kindness to Tang Bo was called Lu Kong, as can be seen from his surname He must have come from the line of Duke Luma, the lord of the nearby Peacock Collar.

Most of the goods brought by Lvkong are cloth. Peacock collar is rich in ramie and linen.

However, dyed cloth is currently only enjoyed by the nobles. Every time the peacock collar dyes a new and brightly colored cloth, it is first paid to the Duke of Luma.

It is said that the wife of the Duke of Green Hemp liked the dyed cloth of the peacock collar very much, and the Duke of Green Hemp even exempted the tax of the peacock collar because of this.

The life of the other two is not as good as that of the peacock collar, but their territory is rich in products. In addition to wheat, Tang Bo also found soybeans, green vegetables, purple radish, pepper, and a red tuber plant similar to taro in their goods.

Interestingly, pepper here is not a spice, but an evil spirit.People here believe that putting pepper in the house can expel monsters.

Purple radish is not a vegetable here, but a fruit, and it is a relatively expensive fruit because it can be stored for a long time.

Red taro is a specialty of the red taro collar. People in that territory don't like to grow wheat, but like to grow taro and eat taro.

Soybeans were one of the most common and common foods in ancient China. After Tang Bo came here, he wondered why Bailuling didn't have this kind of crop, but now he finally saw it.

Tang Bo thought that soybeans would be very expensive, but he asked the lord of Lvkong and learned that the price and status of soybeans here are still very cheap, because this thing is easier to grow than wheat, and the harvest is more than wheat, but the taste is very ordinary. Overripe soybeans also have a beany smell.

"No wonder my father doesn't like this kind of crop in the territory. He may think it's too wasteful to use the land to grow it." Tang Bo shrugged with a helpless expression.

Lord Lvkong laughed understandingly, "I don't like the taste of beans either, but it's too difficult to keep the people full. This stuff is much more hungry than bread in times of famine. It's a pity that the bean flour is too bad to eat, and you can't eat anything else." Can't do it."

No, that's just you can't do it.Tang Bo showed a grateful smile to Lv Kong just right: "I want all the soybeans you brought, as well as Chen Mai."

The Lord of Green Hole was surprised and somewhat understood—Tang Bo should be returning their favor of testifying and remaining neutral: "You really want them all? I brought quite a few."

Tang Bo nodded and smiled wryly: "I'm afraid you have heard my father's actions. Our Bailuling itself has poor land, and my father even rented out the land that is more suitable for planting to the ancient lord as gambling money. Now Bailuling is about to run out of food. gone."

Lord Lvkong patted Tang Bo on the shoulder and sighed, "It's a good thing that White Deer collar still has you."

The other two lords had gone back to their rooms to rest, and as they were, they didn't need to stay with Tang Bo, who didn't have any titles, but they all asked their stewards to entertain Tang Bo well.

Not only did Tang Bo buy all the soybeans and wheat brought by Lukong, he also wanted to wrap up all the grain brought by the other two lords.

After hearing Tang Bo's offer, the two lords felt that it was more cost-effective than Gu Hui's offer, so they sold two-thirds to Tang Bo... They had to save some for San Shuling.

Tang Bo also felt that it was a good deal. He was equivalent to using 500 melon seeds to buy more than [-] catties of various crop seeds for nothing.Including the lord of the green hole, they are not very willing to sell the seeds, and only agree to exchange.If Tang Bo didn't have melon seeds, he wouldn't be able to buy green vegetables, radishes, peppercorns, and flax seeds.

In the end, Tang Bo bought a total of 140 catties of bran-containing couscous, [-] catties of fine wheat flour, [-] catties of soybeans, [-] catties of green vegetables, [-] catties of radishes, [-] catties of red taro, and [-] catties of Chinese prickly ash, seeds not included.It cost him a total of [-] silver coins.

It's not that Tang Bo doesn't want to buy more, but all the usable property in his hand is only 52 gold coins, and 32 gold coins are given to the housekeeper to pass the checkpoint in Luma City, and there are only [-] gold coins left.

If the gold coins are converted into copper coins, it looks like a lot, but the money not only needs to be used for the daily use of the lord's mansion, but also has to be reserved for water conservancy projects in the territory, and it may be used to pay taxes after the autumn harvest. It is a flower that must be penny-pinched.

Gu Ding watched the whole process, focusing on observing how Tang Bo established friendship with the three lords and the caravan stewards, and how he negotiated prices with them.

When Tang Bo went to check the grains, he followed suit. As long as it was a plant, he would instinctively know whether it was good or bad.

Fortunately, none of the three lords wanted to cheat Tang Bo, and the quality of the goods they brought was similar.

Tang Bo also wanted to buy a lot of salt. The vegetables and radishes he bought needed salt to be pickled, and the workers also needed to eat more salt. The salt reserves in the mansion were running low.

It's a pity that the nearby territories do not produce salt, and all rely on merchants to bring goods.

Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Bo bid farewell to Lord Lvkong politely, and gave him two melons as an extra gift.

Lu Kong reciprocated, presenting Tang Bo with a bundle of cloth dyed dark blue.

Because there were not enough delivery vehicles, Tang Bo borrowed five carts and the driver from Lu Kong, and agreed to return them immediately after leaving the city.

Lu Kong thought he had a response outside the city, so he readily agreed without thinking too much.

The cart was transported out of the back door of the hotel, and the servant in charge of monitoring immediately went to report to the lord.

Piglet was also in front of Gu Hui, gnashing his teeth and telling Gu Hui to hand over Tang Bo to him to deal with.

Gu Hui patted Piglet on the shoulder: "What's the relationship between you and me, Ma Ai... How could I believe what her adulterer said."

Piglet seemed relieved, but his heartstrings were tense.He knows Gu Hui too well, the more amiable he is on the surface, the more he doesn't know how he thinks of you.He was the one who handled the body of the maid Haozi!

But it is impossible for Pijie to ask Gu Hui if you don't believe me, and he has indeed seduced Ma Ai, so he is somewhat guilty.It's just that he didn't think about using Ma Ai to solve Gu Hui, because he knew that even if Gu Hui died, he, an illegitimate son who was not recognized by the previous lord, would not be able to become the lord of the Three Tree Lord.

Tang Bo took the ancient tripod and rushed to the market to buy salt, but the shop selling salt was opened by Pijie, which was the property of Lord Sanshu.

When Gu Hui received the news that Tang Bo wanted to buy salt, he immediately asked the salt shop to double the price.

Tang Bo also thought about entrusting Lu Kong to help him buy salt, and he would buy it from Lu Kong, but he owed Lu Kong a favor, and he didn't like people who were too troublesome.

Although the three lords are willing to make a deal with him, it doesn't mean that they want to arouse the resentment of the three tree lords.

"Young Master, they are going too far! The price of salt is not this price at all. If it is like this, no one can afford salt." Jia Dou said angrily.

Tang Bo said without hesitation: "Buy! Buy a thousand catties of coarse salt according to the original plan." He will pay the money to his future self.

The people at the salt shop saw that Tang Bo hadn't counter-offered, so while delaying the time, they sent people to report to the higher authorities.

Gu Hui frowned, did that young master get a windfall by accident, or was he used to being extravagant?

"Lord, do you think you want to sell this salt to him?" the servant asked cautiously.

Gu Hui patted the table: "Sell! Sell him as much as he wants."

Anyway, he will bring it back later, the most urgent thing is to get this person out of Sanshu City and away from everyone's eyes.
