Seeing that Li Chengzhi has made up his mind, Guo Cunxin can no longer persuade him.
Tens of thousands of acres of mulberry fields can only do so much to destroy the country.
On the other hand, if there are more things that tie them down, the Li family may be less tempted to rebel.
So, no matter what he thinks, the advantages of taking over this land outweigh the disadvantages...
Guo Cunxin simply stopped mentioning this issue and changed the topic: "Now that you have decided to take over this land, what are you going to do?"
"Now that we have agreed to Hu Hai, we must put down the rebellion before Duke Xi enters Jing, so we can no longer wait for the traitors to enter the urn... In the past few days, I first urge Hu Baozong to seize the time to organize and train the county soldiers. In addition, I will look for Duke Yanshu, please.
He quickly prepared food and fodder..."
After saying that, Li Chengzhi paused again, "I just don't know if this land acquisition will annoy him?"
"Thinking too much, how can Duke Yanrong be so narrow-minded? If someone adds insult to injury, can Hu Baozong take back his military power so easily?
He just doesn't want talented people like you to get involved with the Hu family and the Gao family. As long as you are not married to the Hu family, it will be fine. Of course, you can't always tell the truth, otherwise there is no guarantee that he will not develop contempt and think you are too greedy.
..."
"In addition, you must also control your temper!" Guo Cunxin stared at him with stern eyes, "This Hu family is not a kind person, otherwise they would not be rejected by the Jingzhou gentry. Furthermore, if the human heart is not enough, the snake will swallow the elephant.
It's too easy, and it will inevitably lead to arrogance in life..."
Guo Cunxin meant that he should take it easy and let the Hu family suffer a little, otherwise they would inevitably end up in Longwangshu.
Li Chengzhi understood instantly: "Uncle, don't worry, I have a sense of propriety!"
Talking along the way, we returned to the military camp before we knew it.
Then I heard the sound of a trumpet, and I saw the lights in the camp were bright, and the heavy cavalry came one after another, and the soldiers emerged from the darkness like ghosts, and returned to the camp one after another...
Li Chengzhi was really not trying to scare Hu Hai. He really made arrangements before leaving.
The reason why we stopped camp before entering the city was that we didn’t want people on top of the city to see the layout of the camp.
"Mr. Lang?"
Seeing Li Chengzhi's face turned sallow and his feet sluggish, Li Song's expression changed.
"It's okay. I drank too much and ended up vomiting all over the place. I just need to sleep for one night... Well, go and get me some food..."
Li Song did not doubt his presence and quickly went to the back camp.
Li Chengzhi turned around again and said to Guo Cunxin with some embarrassment: "It's best not to spread the news about today's matter!"
I was almost raped...
Although nothing happened, it still doesn’t sound good if it’s revealed. He, Li Chengzhi, also wants to lose face, okay?
"Do you still need to explain me?" Guo Cunxin snorted coldly and said, "It's getting late, you should rest early!"
"Uncle too!"
Just as Guo Cunxin was about to go out, he saw Li Song running back in a hurry: "Yang Juncheng is here!"
Li Chengzhi's heart moved.
Only a few minutes after he entered the camp, Yang Shu followed him closely?
This was obviously after the county government dinner, he ran back and stayed on the city wall, waiting for him to come back.
Good guy... How curious are you about what you talked about with the Hu family?
Li Chengzhi subconsciously looked at Guo Cunxin and said urgently: "Please!"
From time to time, Li Chengzhi heard a sound of armor shaking. When Yang Shu came in, he discovered that the old man was actually wearing armor?
Isn’t that right?
If there was a military situation, Li Song would have sent someone to inform him. Then who is he guarding against by wearing this armor at night?
Li Chengzhi was suspicious when he heard Yang Shu sneer: "I thought that there was a high probability that we would see the drama of soldiers surrounding Jingyang City tonight, but I didn't expect you to return to the camp quietly?" p>
Li Chengzhi’s heart was beating wildly.
Why is Yang Shu so curious?
The reason why he stayed at the top of the city at night and kept his armor on his body was obviously to guard against the army outside the city?
How did he figure it out?
Seeing Li Chengzhi stunned, Yang Shu sneered: "I have been leading the army for more than 20 years. This is the first time I have seen a large army encamped without a single light on in the entire camp?
Let’s not talk about what to do if there is an enemy attack at night. What if the soldiers go to the toilet and are not afraid of falling into the pit? You have clearly made some arrangements in secret and don’t want me or others to see...Why, are you still afraid?
Is there someone in this Jingzhou city who will harm you?"
Li Chengzhi felt ashamed.
So this is where the flaw was revealed?
But admitting it is definitely not allowed.
"Mr. Yanshu misunderstood. After all, there was no restriction outside the camp at that time. There were too many people watching, and they were so close. I was afraid that the layout of each camp would be revealed, so I turned off the lights..."
Yang Shu glared at him fiercely.
Only Li Chengzhi knows whether it is true or not...
He also thought that Li Chengzhi was too cautious and thought that someone would harm him, such as imprisoning him or seizing military power.
The target of the defense is naturally obvious: in the whole city, only Hu Baozong of the Hu family can enter and exit his military camp at will. Others, let alone entering the camp, cannot even get close within three miles.
Ignoring this incident, Yang Shu looked at Li Chengzhi with a smile but not a smile: "What, Hu Shiyong didn't give you a daughter?"
It means why did you return to camp instead of staying overnight?
You old pervert...
Li Chengzhi cursed secretly and said in an evasive manner: "Hu Shiyong wants to give it away, but Hu Hai doesn't agree. What can I do?"
"Haha... I expected that the old fox would definitely show up. For a rat like Hu Shiyong who talks about benevolence and morality and is full of male thieves and female prostitutes, good things can be turned into bad things..."
Yang Shu chuckled, "How did you talk about it? What benefits did the old fox promise you?"
Just as Li Chengzhi was about to speak, he noticed something strange. He turned his head slightly and found Guo Cunxin standing behind Yang Shu, winking at him vigorously.
He naturally thought of what Guo Cunxin said on the carriage: Don't tell the truth, otherwise you will be looked down upon by Yang Shu...
He pondered for a moment, then smiled.
If you want to hide it, you have to see if you can hide it?
I don’t even want to think about what Yang Shu does: as a county magistrate, he manages thousands of acres of land, how can he hide it from his eyes?
"To be fair to Duke Yanshu, Duke Haoming (Hu Hai) promised to give me thousands of acres of mulberry fields and a lot of gold..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
I thought that Yang Shu would be shocked, but he didn't even think that his eyes changed. He just said a faint "Oh": "What are you going to do?"
Li Chengzhi muttered: "When entrusted by others, it is natural to be loyal... This junior has promised to Duke Hao Ming that if the rebels are defeated, half of the battle merit will be given to Hu Baozong..."
Only then did Yang Shu's expression change: "Only half of the battle effort? This is ten thousand acres of mulberry fields..."
Li Chengzhi reminded softly: "It should be that the future of this field is not very bright..."
It means that keeping it is also a burden, so Hu Hai is so generous.
"I still need your reminder?" Yang Shu glared at him, "It is true that the Hu family can't keep it, but can't they sell it? The price is a little lower, one pound of real gold costs five acres, and you can get a lot of money.<
/p>
This is another two thousand real gold. If you give it to Gao Zhao, you will be able to avoid many crimes, so why should Hu Hai take advantage of you?"
Li Chengzhi said suspiciously: "This city is still surrounded by rebels, who can he sell to?"
"You don't understand!"
Yang Shu waved his hand, turned back to look at Guo Cunxin, and asked suspiciously: "Do you think Hu Hai suddenly changed his ways?"
Guo Cunxin also came to realize this reminder, and his face suddenly changed: "Is it possible that Hu Hai wants to break up with Hu Shichang or Hu Guozhen?"
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Hu Hai ignored Jin’s thigh and instead showed favor to a junior like Li Chengzhi.
"If this is the case, it's actually a good thing!" Yang Shu chuckled, "Don't worry, we'll find out in a few days..."
Then he turned back and looked at Li Chengzhi with a smile: "It's just as you wanted, and it was just the right time, so you actually bit off a piece of meat from the Hu family? Come, let's talk to me again
Tell me, what are you going to do with these ten thousand acres of mulberry fields?"
How to deal with it?
Alarm bells rang in Li Chengzhi's heart.
Is it possible that you still want to spit out some?
Are you kidding me? Not even Yang Shu, even my biological father Li Shixian is here.
One look at Li Chengzhi's face and knew that he was thinking wrongly. Yang Shu laughed angrily and said: "What a bastard. Who do you think I am? I'm asking you how to cook..."
Li Chengzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
How to cook?
Who should be allowed to plant it?
The Li family has a lot of plans, and Yinhu is only in his early 200s. The existing fields cannot be cultivated, so naturally there is no extra manpower.
This land will probably be deserted for a year.
But if you really want to solve it, it’s not impossible.
Li Chengzhi rolled his eyes: "This junior is thinking that if we can win another battle and recruit some refugees, we will naturally have the manpower. Of course, this junior will definitely not do that kind of exploitation, and we can't afford to lose that person...
...Naturally, they treat each other as tenants, or hire them with money and food..."
The same is true for Li Chengzhi: things that can be solved with money are not considered problems...
Yang Shumeng's expression changed and he asked in shock: "Do you really think so?"
He was still thinking about how to bring the topic to this and how to persuade Li Chengzhi. Little did he know that this was his original plan?
Li Chengzhi was a little suspicious. Everyone was taking advantage of him. Is this true or not?
He nodded subconsciously.
Yang Shu was immediately furious: "Why don't you ask for more, so that's 10,000 acres?"
Li Chengzhi seemed to be frozen.
Can it still be like this?
I'm afraid you think I want too much, but you think I want too little?
The problem is, if I want more, it depends on whether Hu Hai is willing to give it?
It took him a long time to realize: Yang Shu was thinking about the resettlement of the refugees after the war was won.
If there is no way to survive, these people will have to turn around sooner or later.
Unless they are all killed...
Li Chengzhi's heart skipped a beat when he thought of this.
I forgot where I saw it, but it was said that Xi Kangsheng’s purpose in building the two Buddhist caves was to suppress the spirits of injustice.
There are even legends that there are at least hundreds of thousands of corpses buried there, all of which were rioters who were trapped and killed because they could not be placed...
Hundreds of thousands of lives?
Li Chengzhi's expression changed, and he bowed deeply: "It's my fault that I didn't think about it..."
