Chapter 64 Two Fat Quail

"Hey, among our rebels, you are the one who hates adultery and captivity the most. Why do you become so irritable when you get here?"

Li Dingguo looked at the crowd on the road and said in a low voice: "I hate the feeling of being held back by people everywhere. For some reason, since entering Lantian County, I feel like I have fallen into a fishing net. I feel bad and everything is wrong. ."

Zhang Guofeng smiled and said, "That's because you have never been treated in a normal way. The rich people you have seen before are all bastards. The landlords you meet are all smashing bones, and the government offices you have seen are all bastards. Cannibal tiger wolf.

When you come here, you find that all the landlords do their own work. If you work for them, you get paid. The rich have reasons to have money. The government does not eat people and only takes away the taxes that must be taken away.

If you don’t eat a meal, you will get sweaty medicine from Mongolia, and you will be taken to make buns if you don’t stay in a shop. You can’t see a few people who are unscrupulous here, so ah, you are not used to it.

Poor baby, never had a good day. "

Li Dingguo couldn't hold on the face that the old friend said. He raised his leg and kicked Zhang Guofeng. Zhang Guofeng jogged forward. Li Dingguo chased from behind, attracting passers-by to look sideways. Only two vigorous young men were playing there, one by one. There was a smile on his face, and the elder yelled twice, disgusting that the two of them blocked the way.

Li Dingguo was indeed uncomfortable.

There are no thieves who block the way and robbery, no bad guys with a black heart, and no wicked people like Pi Li Yangqiu, so that he has accumulated many years of life experience and lost his goal.

In the end, he found that he could cross the world in troubled times and was invincible, but he could not do anything in the fairyland on earth.

This is something the proud Li Dingguo cannot tolerate.

They harvested the wheat, they took care of the food, and they gave 600 coins. The food was not bad and the hospitality was attentive. They didn’t treat them as mischievous people. The coins were also solidly given. Every coin was yellow and there was nothing mixed up. Iron money, broken money, now, they are all heavy in their rucksack, every step of the way makes a crash, reminding him from time to time that he is a rich man.

Li Dingguo had more money before, especially after he broke Fengyang Mansion, he saw mountains of silver, gold, and a huge amount of gold jewellery shells. After he got it, he didn't keep a single one, and all rewards were given to the battle. Valorous subordinates.

The tinkering copper coins behind this made him feel for the first time as a rich man.

"Four coppers can buy a bowl of noodles?"

When Li Dingguo and Zhang Guofeng walked for a long time, they walked into a noodle restaurant when they were tired and tired. When they saw the guests coming, the shopkeeper smiled like Maitreya Buddha and gave them a hospitality.

"You are still hungry after eating the noodles, you can add soup, take out the pot helmets from your baggage and let you bake them on the stove, and then soak them in the soup to get a full meal!"

Li Dingguo watched the diligent young man take away their dry food, and soon brought a large bowl of sour soup, with two pieces of fat floating on it.

Zhang Guofeng and other guys brought the baked pancakes again, and just like other Maike, they broke the roasted brown pancakes and threw them into the sour soup. After taking a bite, they gave Li Dingguo a thumbs up.

"It's really delicious."

Before Li Dingguo could answer, the old shopkeeper next to him smiled and said: "When you finish harvesting the wheat, go to Xi'an City to play. You must have a bowl of mutton buns there, and then go to Fanren Street below the Drum Tower to open your eyes. , Don’t you dare to go to Mingyue Tower, go for a while, the money you made this year is even thrown into the bottomless pit."

"Mingyue Tower?" Zhang Guozhu, who was eating the pancakes, immediately raised his head.

The old shopkeeper who was adding soup to him slapped his head in an angry way and said: "Study well, and make money, go home and respect your parents, save money, marry your wife, buy land, and save your family business. Seriously, don't think about those vixens."

Zhang Guofeng grinned and said: "When I have money, I must go see it."

The shopkeeper picked up the thumbs and said: "That's right. If you have money, do what the rich people do. If you don't have money, you can make money. It's not bad to make more money to open your eyes."

In the laughter of everyone, Li Dingguo and Zhang Guozhu finished their meals, and the rest of the Maike asked the old shopkeeper where someone needed labor.

Without much effort, the old shopkeeper gave these microphones a proper arrangement.

Seeing that Li Dingguo and Zhang Guofeng were still waiting for him, they left the crowd and walked over and said, "Are you full?"

Li Dingguo patted his stomach and said, "Very full."

"It just so happens that the Liansheng Inn in Xi'an ordered a car of apricots with the old man. The guys in the shop can't leave. How about your brothers walking with the old man? Two hundred yuan in a day and a half!"

Zhang Guofeng happily jumped three feet high, but Li Dingguo's eyes were filled with haze.

"Okay, okay, Kyoko is there, let's go now."

The old shopkeeper smiled and pointed to the bamboo basket under the eaves. Zhang Guofeng immediately ran to pick up a basket of apricots and said, "Where is the carriage?"

The old shopkeeper brought the mule cart. Zhang Guofeng happily loaded the apricot on the mule cart. He also stole an apricot in the middle. The old shopkeeper just laughed and cursed, but didn't care.

After installing the last basket of apricots, Li Dingguo took a look at the open field, and found no abnormalities, so he invited the old shopkeeper to sit on the cowl. He and Zhang Guofeng followed the mule cart to the city of Xi’an thirty miles away. Go.

"Old man, this is not Lantian County. Why does everyone claim to be Lantian County?" Until now, the expected danger had not come, and Li Dingguo couldn't help asking.

The old shopkeeper smiled and said: "Before we all said that we were from Xi'an, that is, since four years ago, we began to call ourselves Lantian."

"Why is this?"

"Why is it just to live a stable life? In the past, this place was called Chang'an County. People found out that they were from Chang'an County and couldn't eat enough, and thieves came to looting from time to time. Then, we took Lantian County's people The boundary monument moved here.

Then, officials from Lantian County came here to measure the land, and began to ask the people here to repair canals, dig ponds, build reservoirs, install water trucks, orange tangerines, dig wells, and also plant new plants on the wasteland. Crops.

After all these things were done, the county prince gathered the big households to discuss the reduction of rent. They didn’t know how to negotiate. Those big households were willing to reduce the rent to less than 30%. Next, those who are willing to plant the land. That's too much.

A few years have passed, and Chang'an County has become what it is now.

Since the taxes have to be handed over to Lantian County, everyone considers themselves Lantian County residents. "

"No force?" Li Dingguo's eyeballs still looked around, seemingly unintentionally asked.

"Possibly, probably, there should be no, I haven't heard of forced things happen..."

Li Dingguo talked happily with the old shopkeeper along the way, while Zhang Guozhu was eating the rhubarb apricots on the mule cart while walking.

After three hours of walking, seeing the Xi'an city wall close in front of him, what Li Dingguo expected still did not appear.

When entering the city gate, Zhang Guofeng looked carelessly from left to right, Li Dingguo's muscles tightened and followed the old shopkeeper every step of the way.

Seeing the old shopkeeper pay the city entrance tax, he greeted the vicious-looking bald tax collector with sleepy eyes, and the three drove into the city of Xi'an in a mule car.

When he entered the city, Zhang Guofeng felt that his eyes were not enough. He had never seen so many rich people... At this moment, he felt that the world was not real. He wanted to ask about the clothes he was used to. Where did the scruffy people go.

The old shopkeeper slapped Zhang Guofeng's head affectionately and said: "Don't look, hurry up to Fanzi Street, and you will eat up the apricots in the old man's car."

Li Dingguo smiled and said, "Where is Fanzi Street?"

The old shopkeeper pointed to the tall Gulou Road in the distance: "It's over there. This is the gate of the city. We can't stay here. We will be fined for obstructing people's passage."

After that, he led the way and motioned to Li Dingguo and Zhang Guofeng to follow.

The farther you go, the more crowded the pedestrians. When they finally reached Fanzi Street, the old shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Look, if it weren’t for you two strong young men, the old man wouldn’t be alone. The ability to deliver goods."

Li Dingguo smiled without speaking, but pressed his hand on the long baggage and did not leave.

Seeing Li Dingguo’s appearance, Zhang Guofeng was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on his face disappeared. He also hung the burden on his back on his shoulders, and naturally kept a distance of three feet from Li Dingguo. If you look closely, , The strides of both of them are average.

When the carriage came to a lively inn, Li Dingguo looked at the name of the inn carefully, and it was indeed an inn called Liansheng.

The old shopkeeper just came to the entrance of the inn, and a guy with a towel on his shoulders said loudly: "Oh my treasurer Hong, Kyoko is only here at this time, your business is not doing very well."

The old shopkeeper accompanied the smiling face and said: "No wonder Little Seven Brother, the old man didn't expect that there will be so many people in the city today, is there something to watch?"

The guy laughed and said: "The eleven clean ladies of Mingyue Tower came out today. I heard that all of them are stunning. No, all the people who have a little money in the ten miles and eight townships are dispatched, even if they can’t get beauties, look. It’s good at a glance."

The old shopkeeper pointed to Li Dingguo and Zhang Guofeng with a serious face and said, "Don't dare to go, there is a fairy den!"

Li Dingguo smiled and said: "Our brothers are two bitter haha~www.wuxiahere.com~Where can I get the money to see the beauties!"

The guy said to Li Dingguo unceremoniously: "Move the goods quickly and send them to the backyard. After the goods are moved, they will go to the counter to pay, so you can continue to make money without delay.

With that said, the man himself took the lead by carrying a basket of apricots. Li Dingguo and Zhang Guofeng looked at each other, and then looked at the old shopkeeper who had been sitting in the lobby of the inn and asked for tea with the shopkeeper. He gritted his teeth, renewed his burden, and carried one. Guan Yuzi went to the backyard with his buddy.

The backyard was very clean. Nothing happened except for the dude's mumble saying that the apricots sent by the old shopkeeper were missing half a basket.

After unloading the goods smoothly and paying 400 yuan on the counter, the old shopkeeper waved goodbye to them with a smile.

Li Dingguo and Zhang Guofeng stood on the crowded street, vigilant as two fat quails about to be preyed by eagles.

It's a pity that no one paid attention to them except the passers-by irritably watching these two coolies that blocked people from walking. This made Li Dingguo lose his voice and just want to yell.
