Chapter 527 Invitation

Li Erlang immediately asked: "What do you mean?"

Bai Shanbao thought about it, and felt that this was not a bad thing, so he told Yang Heshu that after becoming the county magistrate, he first gave money to buy cattle on credit, and then told how to give money to buy grain seeds and farm tools to distribute to farmers.

The magistrate of Yang County is rich and powerful, which is the common perception of all the people in Luojiang County today.

Although he was impeached in the food price war the year before last, he won in the end.

Bai Shanbao and Man Bao got along well with him, but he couldn't tell the people in the county government some things, and Wan Tian was a servant, so he would tell them when he met them.

In the battle over food prices, he finally won.

Although he was given a copy, Yang Heshu was not an unfounded magistrate Fu, he was not afraid of ginseng at all, so after receiving the official document, he wrote the argument as usual, and sold the grain in the small house next to the county government.

If you go up and down in the debate, one month will pass, and you will participate in the debate again, and you will go back and forth for two or three months.

The grain merchants in the county were so tossed that they lost their temper. In the end, they had no choice but to lower the price of grain.

Because it is said that the county magistrate Yang, who had just collected the autumn tax at that time, had already made a statement to the public that he wanted to leave some autumn grain to enrich the treasury in case of future natural disasters.

When the grain merchants and gentry learned the news through various channels, they were quite frightened, for fear that he would sell all the grain, so that they would not have to do business for the next six months.

Forced to do nothing, they can only make concessions.

When Yang Heshu talked about it, he was very proud, and Bai Shanbao and the others felt very relieved.

But the three of them knew from the bottom of their hearts that not everyone had the confidence to do this.

Even Li Erlang didn't expect Yang Heshu to do this in Luojiang County, so he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Man Bao took the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Li Er, since you know Mr. Yang, why don't you make a trip to Luojiang County to visit your old friend?"

Li Erlang laughed and said: "Now I regret it a little, I should turn a corner and go to Luojiang County, hahaha..."

Li Erlang is very concerned about farming. Seeing that the three of them are very knowledgeable about farming, they are not like ordinary farmers who just talk, and they will also discuss with him how to grow the land better and how to promote various methods, so he said to them Start farming.

Mr. Zhuang didn't restrain them. He glanced at them and smiled slightly. He continued to drink his tea with his head down and beat his time.

It was rare for Li Erlang to be able to talk so heartily, he talked with the three of them until late at night, and the three of them were still young, yawning and wanting to sleep, and then they stopped.

Li Erlang returned to his seat and sat down, closing his eyes and resting.

As soon as Man Bao woke up the next day, he started looking for water to wash up, and then ran into the main hall. He actually found a futon to sit down on, and followed the Taoist priest inside to do morning lessons.

Taoists: ...

After finishing the morning class, Man Bao respectfully knelt in front of Taiqing Daode Tianzun, and the Taoist priest at the side waited for her to finish kowtow and got up before asking, "Why did the little layman come to offer incense so early in the morning?"

"I didn't come to offer incense. I lived in the quiet room last night, so I came to thank Tianzun early this morning. Seeing that you are doing morning lessons, I followed suit."

Taoist: "The little layman can still read the Tao Te Ching?"

"My mother likes Master Tianzun very much, so I read it to my mother, and I recited it after reading it."

The Taoist couldn't help but stroked his beard and laughed, "That's right, that's right. Now that you've read the "Tao Te Ching", you can read the "Zhuang Jing" again."

When Li Erlang walked into the hall with his waist supported, what he saw was that Man Bao was talking about scriptures with Taoist priests, talking with gusto.

Seeing that she hadn't come back for a long time, Zhou Zhoulang came to find her. He was also very kind to the statue of Taishang Laojun, and he was also very kind to Taoist priests. Although this hall looked more grand than the Taoist temple on their mountain, he was still familiar with it. Kneel down and kowtow to Laojun before getting up and saying Man Bao, "You said come and kowtow, so you are talking gossip here."

He apologized to the Taoist priest: "Master Taoist, my sister-in-law has disturbed you."

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Layman, you're being polite. The little layman didn't bother us, and I benefited a lot from talking with the little layman."

Li Erlang knew that Man Bao had read "Tao Te Ching" last night. After all, when he was taking the exam for Bai Shan, he only remembered it through her reminder.

He came forward with a smile and asked her, "Do you like Lao Zhuang very much?"

"Yes, my mother said, I was in poor health when I was a child, and half of my survival depends on the blessing of Lord Tianzun."

Li Erlang laughed loudly, nodded and said: "Sincerity makes spirit."

Bai Shanbao called them outside, and they were about to leave.

The brothers and sisters bid farewell to the Taoist priest and Li Erlang immediately. Li Erlang didn't expect them to leave so soon, so he couldn't help but said, "We are all going to Yizhou, why don't we go together?"

Man Bao shook his head, "Our husband chose the road. We don't know where we will turn next time. Aren't you going to do business? It's not good to delay."

Li Erlang: ...I knew I should find an excuse to travel.

Man Bao didn't want to be with them. He didn't know whether they were good people or bad people. They were dishonest and lied as soon as they met, so it was enough to meet by chance and talk, and there was no need to be close friends.

Man Bao told Mr. Zhuang about this, and Mr. Zhuang praised her, "Well done, when you are away from home, you must not have the intention of harming others, but you must have the intention of preventing others, let alone thinking about the pie in the sky. "

Man Bao nodded approvingly, "My mother said, pies don't fall from the sky, and if they do fall, there may be pies with poison in them. We can't pick them up. To be a human being, we must move forward in a down-to-earth way. stable."

Bai Shanbao said quietly: "I suspect that he is some kind of censor who visited privately in Weifu, and he came out to pick up officials."

Mr. Zhuang said: "No matter who they are, you are still children, don't get involved in official affairs. Stay in their positions, seek their own politics, and wait until you grow up to participate in politics."

The three agreed together, and Zhou Zhoulang and Daji drove the carriage to the city together. They had breakfast in the city and bought lunch before continuing on the road.

They didn't take what they taught the farmers last night to heart. Most of the farmers who stayed in the quiet room last night only listened to the words of the three children as a joke, but some people took it to heart and began to inquire about new wheat. kind of thing.

Li Erlang was also interested. He turned his head and said to his entourage: "Earlier, Yang Changbo wrote a letter saying that he had discovered new wheat seeds and new plow tools. I thought that this child of the Yang family was too aggressive. Now it seems that it is a compromise." It's the truth."

Changbo is the word of Yang Heshu.

The follower bowed his head and said: "Erlang, what the third child said may not be true, the wheat yield of five shi per mu is too high."

Li Erlang laughed and said, "Yang Changbo didn't say that the yield per mu was five shi. He only said that there were four or three and a half shi per mu, but they were better than the current wheat seeds."

He thought for a while and said, "I have doubts in my heart. When we return, we will go to Luojiang County to have a look."

"yes."

"Have you written down the names of the children? Maybe we will meet again in the future."

The entourage smiled and said, "I have already written it down."

Good night!
