The ancient farming life of liberal arts scum

Today's Nanguan is very different from the past. In the past, even tender chickens and fat geese could not be bought in Nanguan, so they had to raise them by themselves.Today's Nanguan gathers literati and merchants from all corners of the country, and there is a constant exchange of literary giants and wealthy merchants. It seems to be a new big city.

Shen Ge followed the method of the exhibition in the previous life, and built a number of huts neatly arranged in the garden. Each exhibition peng has its own special potato food, and the guests can taste it to their heart's content.

On the day of the Potato Innovation Eating Contest, the long huts lined up from one end to the other, like a dragon swimming.Local residents, businessmen from other places, foreigners from overseas, all kinds of people came here to join in the fun and find business opportunities.

Thanks to the many story books, everyone now knows that the No. [-] Scholar, Shen Ge, is an immortal from the sky, and even a stone can be turned into gold.

Most people don't want to be rich and powerful, the most rare thing is that the family can be safe and successful, so with the golden signboard of Shen Ge, many people come to join in the fun, wanting to be happy.

This event was held by Shen Ge. He led the students to do every event in the early stage, ranging from site selection, custom-made huts, to small details of decoration, etc., all of which were determined by him. This exhibition really cost him hard work.

It's not that Shen Ge is unwilling to delegate power, it's just that this is the first exhibition in Nanguan.They are in the early stages of development, and there will be countless exhibitions, large and small, in the future.This time, no matter what, they have to make a name for themselves, strive for instant popularity, and establish the people's first impression of Nanguan.

Furthermore, this exhibition is unprecedented, even if Shen Ge wants to let his subordinates do it, they can't do it.

After working for half a month, Shen Ge finally arranged all the matters and ushered in the official day of the exhibition.

At this time, it was almost late autumn, the forests were all dyed, and everything was sluggish. At the same time, the people were free, and they had time to join in the fun.

Potato chips, potato flour, mashed potatoes, potato sticks, potato cakes, potato cakes... Countless foods made of potatoes were delivered continuously.

In addition to snacks made of potatoes, there are also potato dishes that go with chicken, duck, fish, etc., one pot after another is warmed on the stove, and a lot of chopsticks are washed and ironed and inserted into bamboo tubes, waiting for guests to order one.

"How?" Shen Ge tilted his head and asked Xun Feiguang with a smile, a little smug on his face.

Xun Feiguang praised sincerely, "Not bad."

At this time, there were already many people, and the yelling and selling from various sheds could be heard endlessly, mixed with the sounds of various conversations, making it very lively.

Shen Ge and Xun Feiguang made a round of inspections, but found no problems. They glanced around, raised their legs and walked to a certain shed. Under the enthusiastic smile of the owner of the shed, they deftly dug out a jar of small old wine from under the cabinet.

He raised his hand and threw the wine to Xun Feiguang, "Brother Xun, let's go back to the command hall first."

Xun Feiguang had no objection, he easily caught the wine jar, and walked side by side with Shen Ge to the command hall.

Today is a rare large-scale event in Nanguan. There are many people coming and going. Shen Ge is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. The soldiers are patrolling, afraid that someone will make trouble.

Under such circumstances, Shen Ge couldn't leave at will, so he had to drag Xun Feiguang to sit in the command hall together.

It is said that they are sitting in the township, but in fact there is no troublesome matter for them to take action. Generally, if there is a small accident, the people below can solve it quickly, and they can't reach their level.

The command hall was built on the hillside, some distance away from the exhibition area at the foot of the mountain. As Shen Ge and Xun Feiguang stepped up, the hustle and bustle gradually stopped, leaving only silence.

Shen Ge and Xun Feiguang walked up slowly side by side. When they looked back and saw the prosperity at the foot of the mountain, they couldn't help laughing and said, "If you look at it a few years ago, you really would never have thought that there will be today."

Xun Feiguang put his arms around his waist and led him up, "Who can predict the fate of life?"

Shen Ge smiled, and walked to the command hall together with him.

The two of them had nothing to do, so Shen Ge specially brought a altar of wine up for a drink. This wine was also a prescription that Shen Ge asked Bai Liyi to collect, and then brought others to test it bit by bit.

Shen Ge's family has a big business, and he doesn't care much about the cost of wine making. All the raw materials are specially found tribute-level raw materials. Please ask the craftsman to adjust some of them, keep some for yourself to drink, and give some to sell.

The altar brought by Shen Ge is a special wine specially made according to his and Xun Feiguang's taste. The wine tastes sweet but not intoxicating.

Not only Shen Ge likes this wine very much, but it is also very popular outside. Even if the raw materials of the wine brewed later are not so particular, in the hands of Bailiyi's caravan, the minimum price of a jar of wine is 20 taels, and a jar of original liquid is at least [-] taels. You can adjust three jars of wine, and the profit is not unreasonable.

Xun Feiguang is very skilled, and Shen Ge never has to worry about safety when he is with him.So today Shen Ge sent people away early, and there were only the two of them in the huge command hall halfway up the mountain.

The two are usually busy with their own affairs, and there are not many days when they can sit down, drink and enjoy the scenery comfortably.Raising a glass to drink together, both of them showed warmth in their eyes.

Shen Ge was talking about some trivial matters with Xun Feiguang, when he heard a voice outside.

Shen Ge and Xun Feiguang raised their heads and looked over there, only to see the little steward who was in charge of the exhibition today bowed his hands and saluted: "Master, Second Master, there is a foreigner coming to make trouble at the exhibition site at the foot of the mountain, and that foreigner's identity seems to be unusual."

"Is it a man or a girl? Why is it unusual?" Shen Ge asked calmly, looking up at the little steward, with a bit of majesty on his face, matched with his finely crafted handsome face His face made him look more and more different from ordinary people.

The young steward was familiar with the manners of the two masters of their family, so he didn't dare to be sloppy, and hurriedly said: "It's a man. That Yang Yi is arrogant, dressed gorgeously, all gems and jewelry are genuine, and Dayan's words are very standard, It cannot be said that he is a prince of any country in the Gege Continent, so the subordinates dare not make claims."

"So, how many people are there around him? You may see how many there are. Is there a check on the intelligence side?"

The little steward's methods are quite sophisticated: "I have just sent someone to investigate, but the news has not been delivered so quickly, I am afraid I have to wait a little longer. The people brought by Yangyi are not too many, and the subordinates can see it openly and secretly. There are a total of six people who came out, all tall and strong foreigners, it may not be easy to deal with them quietly."

"Why did he make trouble? Can the cause be investigated?"

"That Yangyi bought the potato pancakes and potato rice from our stall. He said they were salty and spicy, and they were really unpalatable. Our people said they would refund his money, but he still refused to give up, so we had a few words with him. It got noisy."

This kind of small friction is inevitable for anyone who runs a store.Shen Ge didn't pursue it, and said: "Send someone who can speak well, apologize to him calmly, and give him something, peace makes money."

"The subordinate has already sent someone to persuade him, but he still refuses to let go, saying that he wants to see you."

Seeing the troubled expression of the little steward, Shen Ge's heart was like a mirror, and he guessed that Yang Yi came here after him, and the bad food was just an excuse.

Since people tried every means to see him, Brother Shen guessed that he probably had something to do.Shen Ge looked up at Xun Feiguang opposite him with a questioning attitude, wanting to meet this foreigner.

Xun Feiguang caught his gaze, put the wine glass in his hand back on the table, stood up and stretched out his wide palm, and when Shen Ge put his hand up, he pulled him up firmly, and said calmly, "Let's go."

Shen Ge smiled, and said to the little steward: "Please invite that foreign friend to the living room. Since there are visitors from afar, we, the hosts, cannot keep them out."

The little steward responded, and quickly stepped back to find someone to arrange.

Shen Ge has been in contact with many forces in the past six months, and they all come to him for any reason.Shen Ge and the others have been torn apart from the imperial court in the past six months, and their scruples are much less than before, but they can let go of their hands and feet to do what they want to do.

The reason that Yang Yi made was unreasonable. He actually didn't look very old, at most sixteen or seventeen years old, and his face was still a bit immature, but the clothes were very rich and expensive.

Seeing Shen Ge, he was the first to say hello, "Second Lord Shen, hello, seeing is believing. I'm Sammy Sawyer."

As the little steward said, this foreigner's Dayan dialect is indeed very good, and many Dayan people's official dialect is not up to his standard.

But maybe because of his young age, even though he pretended to be calm, Shen Ge could easily see his nervousness from his gray-blue eyes.

Shen Ge smiled gently: "Hello, I'm sorry for the poor reception today."

Sammy shook his head quickly and said: "Today's exhibition is very good. We also have potatoes in our country, but we have never produced so many foods. I heard that many of these foods were created by you. You are really amazing."

"I just made some suggestions." Shen Ge smiled, and quickly skipped the topic, so as not to have to rack his brains to find words to flatter him, "I don't know what Mr. Sami wants from me?"

Hearing this, Sami looked around nervously. His attendants were all waiting outside the door, and all the guards in the room were Shen Ge's people. In this unfamiliar environment, he would inevitably feel a little flustered if he wanted to bring up serious matters. .

Shen Ge looked at him patiently. Sammy was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth suddenly, "Second Master Shen, are you interested in sending an expeditionary force?"

Shen Ge remained calm, "Expeditionary Army?"

"Yes, the Expeditionary Army. To be honest, I am the little prince of the Angallo Empire. My father and brother died of illness and accidents one after another. Although the country belongs to me now, my uncle has brought me great benefits. So much trouble that I had to go into exile."

Shen Ge guessed that he really had no choice, that's why he had to tell such a big secret to strangers.

Seeing that Shen Ge didn't answer, Sami was a little anxious, and said quickly: "Trust me, Second Master Shen, the reward I give will definitely satisfy you. Haven't you been looking for the technology of the expedition ship? If you can help me This one, I will hand over the blueprints and craftsmen, in addition to the treasures of Mount Sansa, I would also like to give you the gold and jewels of the Three Ships. You can ask for anything you want.”

Shen Ge didn't care about the treasure he promised, but after training for a thousand days, it's time to try the sword out of its sheath.

Shen Ge didn't shy away from Sami, he looked at Xun Feiguang.

Xun Feiguang nodded silently.

Shen Ge smiled, his brows were full of confidence, "Mr. Sammy, since you have already said that, then you might as well listen to my request."

Sami nodded without hesitation, "Yes, as long as you can help me fight off my Uncle Wang, you can ask for any conditions."

Shen Ge thought for a while, "I heard that your country has a library that has been passed down for thousands of years. Are these books still there?"

"Now, our national library has been very well preserved."

Shen Ge has heard of the Angallu Empire. In the early years, this empire was very powerful. Half of the territory of Gege Continent was included in the territory of this empire. The Emperor Angallu was not a tyrant. He implemented a policy of cultural tolerance. , also established a library of nations.

It is said that during the reign of Emperor Angalore, even the books carried by foreign merchant ships passing by the Angalore Empire would be searched out, and some parts would be transcribed and put into the Library of Nations.

This library is still easy to handle, Shen Ge glanced at Sami, and said gently: "Mr. Sami, I will not go around with you, the technology of the expedition ship, the gold and jewelry of the three expedition ships, and the library of the world. Collecting books, I don’t ask for original editions, but I want a copy of all books, is this condition acceptable? Of course, when we Qinglingwei goes to your side, you will also be responsible for the entire military expenses.”

Sammy hardly hesitated, he licked his lips, "Yes."

Shen Ge smiled, "What we're going to talk about next is the details."
