Poisonous Peasant ‘Concubine’

"Student Ling Jingxuan has seen Mr. Hu!" Facing his staring eyes, Ling Jingxuan did not dodge or dodge, and took the lead in clasping his fists and bowing at him. In this way, he can be fooled, and he has no interest in kneeling and kowtow casually.

"I've seen Mr. Hu." In contrast, Ling Jingpeng and Zhao Dalong didn't dare to be as blatant as he did, and they honestly prepared to kneel down, but? ?

"Don't be polite, you don't need to be polite."

Hu Lizhi rushed to speak before they knelt down, and excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Ling Jingxuan's arms: "Okay, okay, it's really a young talent, Doctor Ling, if you didn't help in time that day, I would be afraid of the plague. It's about to explode in Datong Town."

After learning that the plague broke out in Datong Town, he was so frightened that he rushed over immediately, for fear that the plague would spread. This incident broke out during his tenure, and the black gauze hat on his head might not be able to keep it, especially since it was still the fief of Prince Sheng. If the Lord knew about it, the lives of his family would have to be replaced here.

"Hehe... Mr. Hu is wrong. In fact, I don't know any medical skills at all, and I'm not a doctor. I just met a barefoot doctor when I was young. He taught me some pharmacology, and happened to tell me about the symptoms of the big head plague. It's just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse." With a few simple words, Ling Jingxuan put aside the relationship, if people knew that he was good at medicine, and he was very good, it might bring him more fame and fortune, but relatively , I am afraid he has lost more. In this era of no human rights at all and royal hegemony, the better his medical skills are, the closer he is to death, he is not interested in getting involved in any messy back house struggles, even royal family battles. , and then inexplicably reduced to pào ashes.

"It doesn't matter whether you have medical skills or not, you have helped me and the people of Qingyang County have helped me a lot."

His words easily persuaded Hu Lizhi that he looked too young and did not look like someone with advanced medical skills. Realizing that they were still standing at the gate, Hu Lizhi quickly moved away: "It's inconvenient to speak here, Doctor Ling. Please come in."

"Sir, please go first!"

He is not arrogant enough to dare to walk in front of the county master.

Seeing this, Hu Lizhi was very happy, his face was filled with satisfaction, and he laughed loudly: "Doctor Ling, don't be too polite, this county is from the north, and there is not so much attention to the southerners, let's go in."

As he said that, regardless of whether he wanted to or not, Hu Lizhi grabbed his wrist and pulled him in boldly. Ling Jingpeng and Zhao Dalong were startled, obviously not expecting that Master Hu was such a good talker, and then quickly walked again. Follow up, before coming, perhaps no one thought that they would meet the Magistrate Hu so smoothly.

Hu Lizhi didn't take them to the majestic court, but went straight to the study in the back yard. A gentleman can still be so attentive, Ling Jingxuan raised his eyes slightly, okay? ?

"Sir, is that your servant?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a servant turned into another yard, Ling Jingxuan couldn't help but stop, if he read it right, that person should be one of the servants brought by the little fat man who was ripped off by the buns, right? Could it be that the little fat man is Lord Hu's family? "Huh? Well, that's my nephew's entourage, does Dr. Ling know him?"

Looking back and following his line of sight, I happened to see half of Jiading's back, which was enough for him to recognize the other party's identity. When it came to his nephew, he had a headache. When he brought it back, he almost collapsed, and he kept shouting that his stomach was hurting. He had to let him take someone to seal the Xinyuan Restaurant. Others didn't know that he didn't know? The person behind Xinyuan Restaurant is not something that he, a small county magistrate, can afford to offend, but the old lady and his sister spoiled their children too much. What the nephew said to do, made him a big head and two big, until the nephew took the medicine at noon and took a nap, and it was quiet for a while, just as the yamen came to report, he escaped under the pretext.

"Haha...I don't know, but I happened to be staying at Xinyuan Restaurant. I saw them leave with a child in their arms in the morning, and I was a little more impressed."

Ling Jingxuan smiled slightly, seemingly explaining, but in fact he was telling him that his nephew and his entourage were a bit bullying outside, implying that he should discipline him, and indirectly taking out Xinyuan Restaurant.

"Huh?? Let Doctor Ling see a joke. My nephew lost his father since he was a child, and his mother and grandmother spoiled him a little bit."

Hu Lizhi was also smart, and he heard the deep meaning of his words almost instantly, briefly explained the little fat man's situation, and incidentally told him that he was not the kind of person who would follow women and children.

"Ha ha."

The corners of his lips were raised indifferently, Ling Jingxuan did not speak any more, and Hu Lizhi could not continue this topic.

Hu Lizhi's study is very simple. The only decoration is probably the books that occupy three walls. The mahogany desk seems to be some years old. After greeting them to sit down, the servants quickly brought refreshments. Ling Jingxuan and others smiled. thank.

"Doctor Ling should come to this county for something, right?"

People who had been searching for months and couldn't find them suddenly came to the door after claiming that they had something to ask for. Thinking that they might be embarrassed to speak, Hu Lizhi started instead of them. However, he also had his principles, although Ling Jingxuan It really helped him a lot. Within the scope of his ability, he could agree to anything. On the contrary, he couldn't do anything.

"Since the adults have spoken first, then

I won't be polite to the adults, to be honest, I do have something to ask for your help."

The other party is so on the road, why does he have to cover up? Ling Jingxuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, and after organizing the language in his mind a little, he continued: "It's such an adult, the barefoot swimming doctor who taught me pharmacology before also taught me how to raise fish with herbs, and how to raise fish in the Inner Sea. After many years of practice in fish farming, I have grown things on the barren land. Although the current amount is not large, I believe that there will be more and more in the future, but farming must start from scratch. A little bit of groping, I don’t dare to mess around without money, no, I made some jam and sold it to Xinyuan Restaurant a few days ago. It was a small profit, so I thought about buying a piece of land and groping. Try to see, if something is really planted, it will greatly alleviate the shortcomings of our Cangzhou and even Qingguo's underdevelopment of agriculture, right? However, adults also know that that piece of wasteland is always land. After I bought it, every year All have to pay taxes in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court. In these years of war, the taxes have been getting higher and higher. It is good that the crops are grown in one year. , I want to ask, if I buy a lot of those fields for experimental planting, can you decide to exempt us from taxes for two or three years?"

There were a lot of real and fake foreshadowing, and Ling Jingxuan finally stated his purpose. Originally, he was thinking, it would be better if he could avoid it for a year. Jinghan's talent and learning will definitely be in the next year, and he can be exempt from taxation in a fair and honest way. However, there is no absolute in everything. If they can fight for two more years, they will have more time to buffer, right?

Hearing this, Hu Lizhi fell silent, frowned and thought for a while before raising his head and said, "Can you really raise fish by yourself?"

The two biggest problems in Cangzhou's territory are that freshwater fish cannot be raised, and the inland sea area is largely barren. If he can really raise fish, does that mean that it is possible for him to grow something in that wasteland? If so, it is a great achievement, maybe even the emperor will pay attention to it, the weakest part of the Qing Dynasty is agriculture.

Chapter 149 Buying Land (2)

"Sir, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to the Xinyuan Restaurant in Datong Town to ask the shopkeeper Zhang. In the past few months, I have sent all their fish, but I have also said that the current amount is not large, at most 30 per day. There will be no more, but I have dug a five-mu pond in the backyard of my home and started feeding medicinal fish in large quantities. I believe that when chūn opens next year, I will be able to supply fish from all branches of Xinyuan Restaurant in Qingyang County. ."

As soon as he asked it out, he knew that he would definitely ask. Ling Jingxuan answered calmly, his narrow and charming Danfeng eyes radiated confidence. Negotiation also requires capital, especially with these officials. Although Hu Lizhi is not one of those who guessed He is a corrupt official, but he is not stupid. Without enough capital, it is difficult for him to convince him that he can grow something on half-salt ground. Only when he is convinced, even if it only starts to waver, can he succeed. get the land.
