Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 378 Agreeing to Sell the Cattle
"So, Dad, did you sell the cow to him in the end?" Zhao Xinling asked after sniggering twice.

Zhao Shengnian snorted and said angrily: "Just kidding, how could I sell it to him? Why should I sell it to him?"

Zhao Xinling shrugged, and said to his father Zhao Shengnian: "Father, I think you should sell the cow to Mr. Li Fu."

"Why? Tell me the reason." Zhao Shengnian frowned and said to Zhao Xinling.

Zhao Xinling explained: "Don't you want to win over Mr. Li Fu? Then, you should try to meet his needs."

"Maybe, when people buy cattle, they want to test you, the Patriarch of the Zhao family."

"Also, even if they don't want to be recruited by you now, it doesn't mean they don't want to come in the future."

Zhao Shengnian stroked his beard, thought about what his daughter said, and felt that it was not unreasonable.

So, he said: "Yes, yes, my Zhao family has always been broad-minded, how could I make such a low-level mistake today?"

"Isn't it just a few farm cattle? If he wants to buy them, I'll just sell them to him at a cheaper price."

Seeing her father being moved by her words, Zhao Xinling secretly sighed.

……

At this time, Li Fu angered Zhao Shengnian, the head of the Zhao family, because he mentioned the matter of buying cattle just now.

Seeing that there was no hope of buying the cattle this time, Li Fu planned to leave the Zhao residence.

Anyway, he didn't buy it this time, and Li Fu didn't choose to give up. In the future, he will have a way to get this Zhao Shengnian to sell the cow to him.

However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered that Zhao Shengnian had returned.

After seeing Li Fu, he asked directly, "Mr. Li, how many cows do you want to buy?"

After Li Fu heard it, he was slightly taken aback. He didn't know why Zhao Shengnian had changed his mind.

However, since people are willing to sell their cattle, I don't have the heart to care so much.

"Fifty heads." He said directly.

"Fifty heads, that's a lot..." Zhao Shengnian hesitated for a moment, then continued, "But it's okay, I can trade with you tomorrow."

After the two made an agreement, Li Fu left the Zhao residence.

Zhao Shengnian sent Li Fu out of his residence with a smile on his face.

Although Li Fu was curious about Zhao Shengnian's 180-degree turn, he didn't ask.

After seeing off Li Fu, Zhao Shengnian returned to the backyard and saw his daughter.

At this time, Zhao Xinling was holding Li Fu's poem, reading it with relish.

"Girl." Zhao Shengnian walked over and called Zhao Xinling.

Zhao Xinling raised his head and saw his father, so he put down the poem and stood up.

"Father, you are here."

After Zhao Shengnian sat down, he said to his daughter: "Girl, have you ever hated your father?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xinling was taken aback for a moment, and then began to feel aggrieved.

Her mother passed away many years ago, and she has been without a mother since she was a child.

And now the wife of the Zhao family is a very powerful woman.

Even Zhao Shengnian was a little apprehensive towards her, so Zhao Xinling would inevitably suffer some grievances at times.

At this time, seeing his daughter's eyes flushed, Zhao Shengnian also felt a little distressed, and felt uncomfortable.

"Oh... let's not talk about that." Zhao Shengnian changed the subject, "I promised to sell the fifty cows to that boy."

"However, there are some things I have to tell you clearly. Although this kid has some literary talents, he doesn't seem like a simple person."

Zhao Xinling was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what her father meant, so she hesitated for a while and didn't ask any further questions.

……

On the other hand, since Li Fu returned home, he has been dealing with the matter of arable land.

During this period, he also spared time to meet with Li Er and asked him for dozens of plows.

Li Er naturally satisfied Li Fu's requirements, so he agreed without any hesitation.

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, why is your house still so deserted?" Li Er asked with concern, after all, he was his son.

"There are only a few people in my house, why is there so much excitement?" Li Fu said casually. He had never paid much attention to these things.

Although this year is still a bit deserted, Li Fu also has an idea, that is, he can celebrate the New Year with those refugees.

After chatting casually for a few words, Li Er asked, "By the way, there's nothing you can do to get some benefits from your cement?"

Li Fu nodded and said, "Of course, that's what I thought."

"Let me tell you, cement is not only used to build houses, but also used to build city walls, which will be much stronger than before."

[Hehe, this Li Er is not stupid, until the attention of the cement maker, he has a bit of a brain. 】

[As long as you make good use of this thing, the development of Datang will definitely advance rapidly. 】

"Hahaha, yes, you are really a genius." Li Er said happily.

Afterwards, he stayed for a while, and Li Fu left the palace.

Before leaving, Li Fu specifically explained that he must not forget about the plow.

Li Er signaled him to rest assured and let him leave.

After thinking in the room for a while, Li Er ordered someone to summon Fang Xuanling.

"Fang Aiqing, go and check something for me." As soon as Fang Xuanling came in, Li Er said seriously.

"What's the matter, please tell your Majesty clearly." Fang Xuanling said.

Li Er paused, and continued: "Go and find out how many people bought land in Li Fu's refugee camp."

"Pay attention to those who are going to buy land, especially those famous families, write them all down for me, don't leave any behind."

Fang Xuanling nodded and agreed.

After letting Fang Xuanling leave, Li Er went to rest on his own.

Li Fu went back to his home and didn't do anything these days, except for one thing, which was making pasta at home.

He has successfully developed steamed buns, and he wants to try bean buns next.

"Your Highness, the butler of the Zhao family is here." Suddenly, Lao Lu ran over and said to Li Fu.

Li Fu nodded and walked out.

He knew that when people from Zhao's mansion came, the cattle he bought must have arrived.

Afterwards, Li Fu went out to check the number of farming cattle, and after finding out that they were correct, he handed them over to Lao Lu.

After tossing about these things, Li Fu walked into the yard.

He saw that Changsunli was holding a book and reading it intently.

Li Fu smiled, this little girl, for some reason, suddenly fell in love with reading.

"Does it look good?" Li Fu came over and asked Changsun Li.

"It's beautiful." Changsun Li replied to Li Fu without raising his head.
