Civil servants of the Tang Dynasty

After all, he is a child under three years old, and no one can recognize him completely. What can he hide in his heart?Tang Cheng coaxed and teased, and the puppy laughed again.

Hearing his laughter, Tang Cheng's heart was completely calmed, "Yingwan, find an experienced porter over there to guard tomorrow."

"En!", Li Yingwan nodded, and when she was about to say something, the girl came in and said that the concierge, Mr. Gao, would like to see you.

"Your Majesty, I have two guests from Xiangzhou, please see me." Lao Gao handed over the name card while speaking, "Although there are few people here, they brought a lot of carriages, which blocked half the street." .

"From Xiangzhou?" After Tang Cheng took the famous thorn and opened it, he saw that it was signed by Zhou Jun.

While closing the name thorn, Tang Cheng smiled slightly. Zhou Jun came two or three days earlier than he expected, and now he didn't want to build the road.

"A distinguished guest has arrived, and you will see me later," he said to Li Yingwan with a smile. After Tang Cheng handed the puppy in his arms to the maid on the side, he went out to welcome the guest.

Compared with the casual clothes when he was in his own home that day, Zhou Jun's clothes today are much more formal. Although the style of the clothes has not changed, the material is the rarest and most precious top-quality monofilament among silks, satins and silks. This kind of fabric is known as an inch of gold, and his clothes alone do not know how much it is worth.

"I look forward to Brother Zhou like I hope for Yunni after a long drought." Tang Cheng laughed and cupped his hands and said, "Brother Zhou came so late!".

"Young brother's words are really close to my heart. I came here at the same time." Zhou Jun also had a bright face. After bowing his hands and returning the salute, he smiled and pointed to the row of carriageways behind him: "Xiang As soon as I saw Zhouzhou, I prepared a small gift for the first time, and I asked the younger brother to smile."

"It's still thin with seven or eight carriages?" Tang Cheng joked, "What is it?".

"What else can a lacquer ware dealer offer? Naturally, lacquer ware." Zhou Jun casually lifted the curtain of the carriage beside him. In the afterglow of the setting sun, Tang Cheng looked into the carriage and felt a burst of golden light in front of him. What was mounted on the carriage was a floor-to-ceiling screen. At this time, the screen was being folded and placed obliquely inside. What was folded on the top revealed a peony protruding obliquely. It is extremely beautiful, but the most eye-catching thing is the dazzling hook line.

"Golden thread?" Zhou Jun put down the curtain in his hand and nodded with a smile when asked, "Peony is rich and noble. Although gold thread is a bit vulgar, it happens to be used here. What, this set of lacquerware was jointly made by ten top craftsmen of my Zhou family, and this craftsmanship is much more valuable than that material."

"I can't accept this." Tang Cheng looked at the series of seven or eight carriages. What Zhou Jun sent should be a whole set of lacquerware, "it's too expensive."

Zhou Jun seemed to have expected that Tang Cheng would say this, and he was not surprised when he heard it, so he turned his head and said, "Zhou Ding, smash it for me."

"Ah?" The boss who came with Zhou Jun's valet heard the words and stared at the boss. After a while, he realized that he climbed into the carriage and dragged out a hammer tremblingly. After looking back at Zhou Jun, he gritted his teeth and wanted to Smash it down.

"Wait a minute!" At this point, Tang Cheng couldn't allow Tang Cheng to stop, "Brother Zhou, you are...".

"The utensil is for human use. I brought it hundreds of miles away for the sake of the friendship between my cousin and my young brother at first sight. Now this utensil has become an obstacle, so what's the use of keeping it? It's better to smash it clean." Here, Zhou Jun walked in front of Tang Cheng and said with a smile, "In my opinion, the friendship with Young Brother Tang is much more valuable than this set of lacquerware."

"Okay, then I'll take it, Lao Gao, open the door." After giving Lao Gao instructions, Tang Cheng stretched out his hand to guide the door, "Please!".

After entering the mansion, Tang Cheng and Zhou Jun introduced Li Yingwan.

Tang Chengchun didn't change the customs of later generations, he should let his family see the guests from far away.But in Zhou Jun's eyes, this meaning is quite different, allowing guests to see their wives and concubines, this is the meaning of being a good family nowadays, and it is only a must if you are close friends.

Now that there was such a small episode, the atmosphere of the chat between the two became more and more harmonious. Zhou Jun didn't mention business or the wharf in the chat, but only talked about what he saw along the way and the scenery of mountains and rivers. Shows his demeanor.

Zhou Jun didn't sit for a long time, and he got up to leave after just two cups of tea.

When Tang Cheng sent him out, he heard that he had already lodged in Wanfu Building, so he smiled and said that he would hold a banquet in Wanfu Building tomorrow, let him rest for a day, and go to Sanquan Yingyue Wharf together in the morning the next day.

Watching Zhou Jun's carriage go far away, just as Tang Cheng entered the second gate, a girl came to report that his wife had an invitation.

Following the girl, that girl arrived at the warehouse, and Li Yingwan, who was waiting at the door, greeted her, "Ah Cheng, what kind of friendship does this Mr. Zhou have with you?".

"What's wrong?".

"The gift he gave is really too expensive," Li Yingwan said as he opened the locked warehouse door with his own hands. In fact, it was almost dusk. Li Yingwan had already lit the lamp when he was counting the goods inside. At this time, following the warehouse door Open it, and as soon as Tang Cheng walked in, he saw the row of lacquerware reflecting the golden light.The girl who came in later didn't see her just now, but when she saw this scene for the first time, she suddenly froze with her mouth open.

"Take it away, take good care of it, don't spoil this good craftsmanship." As one of the two largest lacquerware merchants in Fang's world today, the ten famous craftsmen of the Zhou family can be said to be the industry leaders in the entire Tang Dynasty. Zhou Jun was right, the craftsmanship of this pair of screens is far more valuable than the materials, Tang Cheng looked at the screen carefully, then turned and walked out of the warehouse, "As for the gift, I will handle it myself."

"Oh!", Li Yingwan locked the door with his own hands. After locking it, he was still worried, so he deliberately reached out and tugged at the lock. Tang Cheng couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw her like this.

"This thing is so exquisite, why are you willing to use it?" She stretched out her hand to be held by Tang Cheng, Li Yingwan followed him to the inner courtyard, and looked around, "Ah Cheng, I thought this The house is very good, but now that we have this set of lacquerware, it seems unworthy of this house. Ah Cheng, why don't we change to a big house, or how can we put such a good thing out?".

……

At noon the next day, Tang Cheng hosted a banquet in Wanfu Building to welcome Zhou Jun. He had just returned home after the banquet.Zhang Xiangwen, with a dusty face, bumped in headlong, but unfortunately, Du Lahe also arrived in Jinzhou today, and to Tang Cheng's surprise, that Zhang Liang also accompanied Du Lahe to Jinzhou. Both of them stayed at Wanfu Building, the best inn in this state.

Just as Tang Cheng and Zhang Xiangwen walked out of the gate and were about to go to Wanfu Building, they heard the sound of horseshoes coming from the long street on the left. When they turned their heads to look, it was Feng Haizhou who also looked dusty.

Today, he also rushed back!

Chapter 156 Don't worry, the third son will understand!

In front of Tang's house, Feng Haizhou got off his horse, "My lord, I'm back."

"Haizhou has worked hard." Tang Cheng patted Feng Haizhou's shoulder, "How are you?"

"There are four here," Feng Haizhou said with a wry smile, "There were originally seven people who wished to come, but they were stopped by the observation envoy, Mr. Yu, who said that they could only give these four at most, otherwise he should not support them." Opened. The Observation Envoy also said..."

"Yu observed that he has already given the person you want, my lord. Whether the roads in other states can be built, and whether the road network that your lord said that day can be built, is all on the road of Jinzhou. If this road is successfully repaired , for several other states, it has the meaning of setting an example, and the observation makes the yamen have a talk when they issue official documents. This matter is not only related to Jinzhou, but also to the overall situation of the whole Tao! The observation makes adults say that he has high hopes for you ".

When repeating these words, Feng Haizhou's tired face flushed. He was an observer, the leader of the entire Shannan East Road!Thinking of the scene where Yu Dongjun said these words to Yan Yuese to him that day, Feng Haizhou was still a little excited. Tang Cheng could understand his excitement. The situation was the same when I went to the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, "However, Yu Xun also asked me to give you a message! He will give you what you want. If the road can't be repaired, it must be done according to the military order. You are the only one." Ask; on the other hand, the Observation Envoy will personally celebrate your achievements, and ask for your credit."

"It's only for four people to build such a road, and you still have to say this. Observing the adults is really stingy." There were no outsiders around. There is no need to say any more. Observation makes the adults have a road map for Fangzhou roads? And where are the four people placed now?".

"My lord Yu took a trip in person, and the route has been set. The four of them will be placed in the post house, and they should be bathing and freshening up at this moment."

"It's good if it's settled. The route of Fangzhou is set, so we can do it here." Tang Cheng praised the festival after hearing the news. Shouldn't you be suffering alive!"

"My lord, my brother-in-law Zhu Xiaoer is the cook at the post house in Benzhou, and he is taking care of him...".

"That's not okay, they are all very useful people, and we have to take good care of such people, so that they can be motivated to use all their skills willingly." Tang Cheng said in a deep voice: "In this way, Haizhou You are going to the post house to pick them up at Wanfu Tower, where food, housing, and use are all based on the best, and then I will go to exchange money."

Everything is according to the best, money is not money!Muttering in his heart, Feng Haizhou got on his horse after taking the order.

After setting things up there, Tang Cheng waved to Zhang Xiangwen, "Let's go to Wanfu Building".

On the way to Wanfu Building on horseback, Zhang Xiangwen turned his head and looked at Tang Cheng carefully, and said with a smile: "Brother, why do I realize that I don't know you anymore."

"Huh?" Tang Cheng, who was riding on a horse, was thinking about how Zhang Liang would come to Jinzhou. Hearing Zhang Xiangwen's sudden utterance, he turned around in surprise and asked with a smile, "What kind of moth are you talking about?" .

"If I didn't go to Yangzhou, I would never have imagined that my sister-in-law would be such a powerful person. Shangguan Zhaorong's younger sister, the envoy of Yangzhou City, my mother! When I first met my sister-in-law in Yangzhou, I really thought that my elder brother You sent the letter to the wrong place, and she called me 'Second Brother' after reading the letter. When it comes to this matter, this time it’s observation again, big brother! When did you get to know so many big people? Are you still my big brother?”.

Zhang Xiangwen, who looked tired, no longer had the laughter and relaxation of the past. When he asked the last sentence, his expression was bewildered, sad, and self-sufficient.

Ever since he met Zhang Xiangwen, all Tang Cheng saw was his heartless laughter. He was really not used to such a complex expression in front of him, and at the same time, he felt a lot of guilt.Ever since we met each other, this second brother has treated him with the utmost benevolence and righteousness.

"Second brother, it's all my fault. I didn't tell you these things in time." Tang Cheng blamed himself very sincerely from the bottom of his heart. If I wanted to hide it from you, I would not invite you to Yangzhou to deliver a letter, nor would I pull you in to build roads, think about it, is this reasonable?".

Although this is an explanation, it is also the truth. After Zhang Xiangwen heard it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his expression became much more cheerful.

"Let's go at night, when we come back from Wanfu Building later, let's warm up a pot of wine and talk." Tang Cheng smiled reminiscently, "Speaking of the call to Zhoucheng, we haven't been together for a while."

"If you want to sit, you have to wait until these days are over." Although Tang Cheng's words were short, the sincere affection was not difficult to feel. Zhang Xiangwen let out a long breath, "It's nothing to say or not, I just want to Let me ask you, are you still my big brother?"

Looking at Zhang Xiangwen with a serious face, Tang Cheng said solemnly: "Take care of each other with all sincerity, never leave, never leave, share misfortune and fortune, and share weal and woe."

These few words were exactly the vows they made when they swore in Taoyuan on the outskirts of Yunxi that day.

"Okay! These four sentences are enough, brother, you don't need to say anything." Zhang Xiangwen applauded loudly, regardless of whether this was on the street.Attracting passers-by to look sideways, he laughed like a normal person and said, "Brother, don't blame me for being narrow-minded, it's because the little sister-in-law you found for me has a lot of background, hey! This time in Yangzhou City I was ashamed of Si Yamen. Damn, I'm still very ashamed when I think about it now!".

"Okay, I'm afraid you have forgotten the original time, kid." Tang Cheng really regarded Zhang Xiangwen as his brother. Seeing that he had returned to normal, he didn't have any scruples about speaking, "I think back when I was in Yunxi , You popped out a well-known uncle in a while, hey, another one popped up in two days, and three came one after another, I will remember this account for you."

"Like a brother, there must be a brother", Zhang Xiangwen's rascal spirit came up again, and he just grinned when he heard Tang Cheng expose his old background, "Two equals, you once and I once, exactly two equals".

……

When they arrived at Wanfu Building, Du Lahe and the two were still taking a bath, and Zhang Liang reluctantly came out of the Lv Feng bucket after hearing from the accompanying servants that Tang Cheng had arrived.

Zhang Liang came out from the inside with a silk sash tied around his waist. After he settled down and looked at Tang Cheng carefully, he said with a smile: "After a few months, Tang Cheng, you look more and more calm and steady. good".

"Brother Zhang is as handsome as before." Tang Cheng returned the gift with a smile, "I heard from my second brother that Mr. Zhang came with...".

"He must still be in the bubble, forget it, don't talk to him today." Zhang Liang smiled wryly and shook his head, "Shannan Dongdao is worthy of the name of the mountain. This road is too difficult to walk. Riding a horse is too tiring, riding a car is too bumpy, it’s just uncomfortable. Du Lahe is getting old again, this time it’s really hurt, Tang Cheng, take care of it.”

Hearing this, Tang Cheng nodded with a smile. Judging by the current appearance, it is estimated that the old capital has indeed been tossed a lot.

"Now you are in charge of road construction in Jinzhou?" Zhang Liang stretched out his hand to invite Tang Cheng to sit down, and then sat down by himself, "This road really needs to be repaired."

Tang Cheng didn't chat with him any more, he nodded with a smile and asked directly: "Brother Zhang is a very busy man, why do you come to Jinzhou?".

Zhang Liang heard the question, looked at Zhang Xiangwen who was sitting on the side, and said with a smile: "I'm so tired, I don't want to talk about business today."

Zhang Xiangwen is also a person full of news. Seeing this, he stood up, stretched his waist and said with a smile: "Seeing that Mr. Zhang is so comfortable in the bath, I also feel itchy all over here, and I have to go loose. You guys are chatting." Talking and laughing, he opened the door and walked out.

"He is my sworn brother, and I can trust him."

"Well, Zhang Xiangwen is good." At this time there were only two of them in the room. After Zhang Liang said something vaguely, he leaned towards Tang Cheng, "Tang Cheng, your relationship with the former governor of Jinzhou Sun How exactly?".

"Emissary Sun?" Tang Cheng didn't expect Zhang Liang to ask this suddenly, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Emissary Sun treated me well. When he went to Chunzhou to take up his post, he said that he would take me with him. By the way, the Wu Yujun who was with me in the tung oil business in Yangzhou last year is his brother-in-law.”

"Oh! It turned out to be like this. I met that Wu Yujun a few times last year, but he didn't show anything at all." Zhang Liang was very happy after hearing this, "Okay, Tang Cheng, you gave him such a big fortune, please. He must have done him a favor."

"What's up?".

"Although the Chunzhou he went to is far away, the boundary of that land happens to be the old den of the pirate Feng's family." After saying this, Zhang Liang sighed and said, "If you take people's money, you have to eliminate disasters with them."

When he said this, Tang Cheng immediately remembered the newspaper from last year. The newspaper that touched his business opportunities specifically mentioned Feng's family, and it even mentioned that the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion at that time went up to the imperial court to impeach the Lingnan Road military administration. Yamen, and one of the most important reasons for impeachment is that the Lingnan Road Observer and Marching Ambassador Yamen condoned pirates. Speaking of which, the Feng family in Chunzhou, Lingnan is a family of pirates, and the most powerful pirate family in the South China Sea. , but he is not soft on the ships of the barbarian sea merchants.Du Lahe and other barbarian sea merchants have suffered a lot from it.

"Is this the condition of the old capital?" Tang Cheng took a sip of the teacup, "Dulah used to rely on the abolished prince, and he couldn't take care of the Feng family because the military and government offices of Lingnan Road listened to Wu Sansi, but now Both Wu Sansi and his son are dead, so it shouldn't be difficult, Brother Zhang, who is still on duty, you came here so far?"

"The imperial court has just undergone major changes, and it is difficult for the third son to come forward now. The current Lingnan Jiedu envoy is Xue Chongxun." Zhang Liang paused, and then continued: "This Xue Chongxun is the eldest son of Princess Taiping of Zhenguo. Xue Dong, who was almost beaten to death in the Zoroastrian Temple in Yangzhou, was his nephew, and the backer that Yangzhou Tang Hai merchants are now looking for is the Princess Mansion. I wish the Feng family would be as powerful as possible."

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang smiled helplessly, "In terms of status, Xue Chongxun is more noble than the third son. After all, he is still the eldest son, and he has the interests of Tang people's maritime merchants, so the third son came out and said, I'm afraid...Furthermore, the Feng family has been in business for a hundred years, with great influence and clear eyes and ears. If this matter comes from top to bottom, it will inevitably not be exposed. If you do it directly at the local level, you may be able to achieve miraculous results by taking it by surprise.”

After Tang Cheng listened to it, he thought about it for a long time before he raised his head and said, "This is not a small matter. Although Mr. Sun has treated me well, he may not be willing to...".

"Think about it again, is there any other way?" Zhang Liang smiled when he heard the words, "I went to the official department to find out before I came here. This brother-in-law of Wu Yujun followed the way of Shangguan Zhaorong. Without Tang Cheng, he How can a governor in a remote Daozhou get on this line? Can he do it in such a timely manner?".

"When I left last year, I told Envoy Zheng Shibo that you must pay attention to the affairs of An Guoxiang's palace, especially the third son. Didn't Brother Zhang go to the Shibo Department's yamen?".

"Since it's not easy for the Prime Minister's Mansion to come forward, I didn't go." Zhang Liang nodded appreciatively at Tang Cheng's words, "Dulah has been there, but Zheng Shibo didn't comment. Even she is unwilling to meddle in Lingnan Road."

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang said with a slightly teasing smile: "Tang Cheng, do you think that Du Lahe came to Jinzhou for the pier? With his wealth today, the pier is as valuable as you said, and it is not worth it." He ran so far in heaven and earth, Du Lahe came here purely for you. In fact, it is justifiable for Zheng Shibo to intervene in this matter. Anjing Hailu, no matter what, this is the responsibility of the Shibo Secretary Well, who can say anything?"

Tang Cheng listened quietly, and after thinking about the matter before and after, he nodded and said: "Well, I will write the book for Zheng Shibo when I get back later." Looking at Chen Liang from the beginning, he slowed down his speech and said in a deep voice: "However, if Zheng Shibo really agrees, Brother Chen needs to understand that the reason why she did this is definitely not for Du Lahe, but because of this It is the matter of the third son."

"Don't worry", Chen Liang deliberately got up and patted Tang Cheng's shoulder, "The third son will understand."

Hearing this, Tang Cheng smiled, "Brother Chen came here just in time, I may need your help with something here, but it's not clear how to ask Brother Chen for help."

"With the relationship between you and me now, how can you help me!" Zhang Liang said very crisply, "I just want to stay a few more days to see your way of building roads, and tell me after you think it over. Not too late."

After talking about the business, Tang Cheng didn't stay any longer, and after Chen Liang told Du Lahe to go to see the pier tomorrow morning, he left.

Chapter 157 Only Sells Eggs, Not Chickens!

The season has passed the vernal equinox, and the mountains and fields are becoming more and more green. Coupled with the sunshine, this day is really a very good weather.

A group of three carriages, surrounded by more than a dozen guards with chest and belly, went straight out of Jinzhou City Gate to Santan Yinyue Wharf.

"Compared to riding a horse, it's more comfortable to ride a car. Tang Canjun, you really tossed my old bones this time." Chen Liang relayed Tang Cheng's reply. The main purpose of Du Lahe's trip has been achieved. His mood was as good as the weather, and after jokingly said something, Du Lahe said seriously: "Tang Canjun, if you want me to say, you don't need to look at this pier, since you want to build roads, old brother I don’t have any reason not to support it, you can say how much you want, brother, I have nothing to say.”

Tang Chengcai didn't believe that Dulach really had no interest in the pier.As a long-standing merchant, it is impossible for him not to see the value of this pier. In this way, he is trying to show his friendship!Now that he got the pier, he still owes him a favor. This old fox really spends his time and money in every way.

"Friendship is friendship, business is business. Only when public and private are distinguished can the friendship be long-lasting. Brother, if you are really not interested in this pier, I can't ask for a penny of that brother. After all, road construction is the official business of the imperial government. How can brother For the sake of official business, I made you spend your own wronged money." Tang Cheng laughed, "Let's take a look at the goods first."

Zhou Jun, who was also sitting in Du Lahe's car, looked at Du Lahe, then at Tang Cheng, smiled and said nothing.

The river breeze was blowing, and Tang Cheng accompanied Zhou Jun, Du Lahe and Zhang Liang to the pier.

After taking a closer look at Three Pools Reflecting the Moon, Zhang Liang looked at Tang Cheng, who was silent, and then exclaimed: "It really is a good natural deep-water pier, and the terrain is also good. From here, the boat can go down smoothly with the wind and the water. How long will it be able to put Xiakou directly?" After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment and said: "If there had been this pier earlier, it would have been much more convenient to buy tung oil last year, and the price alone would have reduced the freight by at least [-]% come out".

"Brother Zhang is right, but Shannan Dongdao not only produces tung oil, but is also rich in lacquerware and silk satin, which are the bulk of ocean trade." The place of origin is food, so why let the transshipment company take advantage of it, these people are not good-looking!".

Since he got on the pier, Tang Cheng didn't say a word about the benefits of the pier except for introducing the terrain.

Since what you are holding in your hand is a good thing, it must be worth the price of a good thing!Furthermore, this was clearly a win-win deal, and it was only good for Du Lahe, so Tang Chengcheng didn't think of giving him another chance to sell his friendship, otherwise, he would really be sorry for the good port that God gave to Jinzhou.

Du Lahe, who also didn't say a word, looked more carefully than anyone else. In the end, he couldn't hold back Tang Cheng, he finally turned sideways and laughed: "Good port, Tang Canjun, this is indeed a good product."

Hearing this, Tang Cheng smiled, "Brother has good eyesight!".

"I remember Tang Canjun, your previous position was Sitian Cao's judge, right?" At this point, Du Lahe suddenly raised his finger and pointed to the river beach tunnel not far from the pier: "Sitian Cao is in charge of Tianmu. , Brother Tang wants to buy that piece of river beach land, brother Tang, you have to help."

"Ginger is still old and hot." Before Tang Cheng could answer, Zhou Jun who was on the side laughed and interjected, "That's exactly what I was going to say."

Today I mainly came to see the pier, but now I didn’t say a word about the pier, but these two giants suddenly pointed to the river beach and said something, and they were so interested, Feng Haizhou who accompanied him heard the words, turned sideways Look at Tang Cheng.

"I'm afraid this will disappoint the two of you." Tang Cheng looked at the river beach and said with a smile, "That river beach has already been owned."

"Oh?" Du Rah was taken aback when he heard the words. Now that the pier is so sluggish, he really didn't expect that someone would buy the river beach full of stones and sand. After pondering for a while, he smiled and said: "Buy Can you sell it again, Brother Tang, I will entrust you with this matter, I will take all thirty pennies and one mu."

Thirty!Hearing this price, Feng Haizhou's heart skipped a beat. When Judge Tang bought this land, he bought it for four acres per mu, more than 400 acres. Doesn't this mean that he can make a net profit of nearly [-] yuan just by changing hands now!For [-] guan, you can buy seven or eight hundred acres of good paddy fields.Thinking of this, and then thinking about the deserted river beach for decades, no one asked, Feng Haizhou didn't know what to say.

Damn, why didn't I think of buying this piece of land earlier?

To Feng Haizhou's surprise, after Tang Cheng heard the number, his expression didn't change at all, and he shook his head directly.

"Fifty strings?"

Fifty guan, what a price!Seeing Tang Cheng shaking his head again, Feng Haizhou was really anxious, but this was Tang Cheng's land after all, so there was nothing he could do if he was anxious.

Seeing that Tang Cheng was still shaking his head, the smile on Du Lahe's face was a bit forced, so someone would buy the river beach that can't produce anything?Even if someone buys it, it's only six or seven per acre at most. Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng, I'll ask you for fifty per acre. More than that, this piece of land is no less than 450 mu by visual inspection, which is nearly [-] yuan in net profit, which is enough to thank you for your help yesterday, is this not enough?

"Oh! It's not enough, Brother Tang is so thoughtful." After pondering for a moment, Du Lahe looked at the river beach again and said through gritted teeth: "Sixty Guan".
