Back to ancient times selling biscuits

"My lord, are you not looking for Li Ping'er?" Zeng Qing asked.

"Look for it!" Zhen Qingming said, "However, I still have one thing to do." He asked Donglai and Cao Yamen to watch over Zeng Qing, "I'll go back as soon as I go."

Zhen Qingming went straight to Prince Duan's mansion, the guards at the gate remembered him once they saw him, and welcomed him into the mansion, "Lord Zhen, please wait a moment, the villain will go and inform you."

As soon as King Duan heard that he was coming, he thought of the news from the capital that the prince was in a state of desperation recently, and there had been rumors in the court that the prince would be abolished, "Please!" He said and stood up with a big belly.

"Don't worry." General Ye hurriedly supported him.

Duan Wang: "I'm not in a hurry, I'm happy when I think that something good will happen when he comes."

General Ye thought to himself, what could happen in a small Taoyuan County, maybe he encountered some difficulties and came to ask his prince for help.

As soon as this idea had passed through his head, he heard Zhen Qingming say, "I implore the prince to lend me a few people with good kung fu."

"Where's the yamen servant in your yamen?" Duan Wang was a little disappointed to hear nothing good, "Why use it?"

"Go to a large compound to arrest people. The lower official speculates that there must be many guards in the compound, and the servants under the lower official are good at dealing with ordinary common people. When encountering skilled guards, they can only watch the person escape." Listen. When Zeng Qing said that the owner of the yard was surnamed Wang, he was from the capital, and he was generous, Zhen Qingming thought of someone, just in case, so he came to Duanwang's mansion.

Although Qingzhou is the fiefdom of King Duan, Qingzhou is not small, there are all kinds of people living in the city, and the two of them do not doubt that there is him.Zhen Qingming took four soldiers with high martial arts specially selected by General Ye, joined Donglai and the others, and went to arrest Li Pinger.

But the porter prevented them from going in, Zhen Qingming raised his hand falsely, and the two porters were stopped.

"Where is your master?" Zhen Qingming asked.

The captured concierge blushed, "Who are you? Do you know where this is!?"

"Say it quickly!" Zhen Qingming took the sword from Yamen Cao's waist and put it on the opponent's neck. If it was a little unstable, the opponent's head might fall to the ground.

"Yes, in the bedroom." The porter felt the coldness of the sword, and the soles of his feet felt cold.

"Lead the way!" Zhen Qingming looked at the sun, and was still in the bedroom when it was almost noon, and his guess was [-]% certain in his heart.

The man galloping on top of the woman heard a "bang", opened his eyes, "Damn it!" cursed, pulled a robe around his body and jumped out of the bed, which bastard dared to kick his bedroom door.

"Wang Gui, long time no see, don't come here without any problems." Zhen Qingming's voice sounded suddenly, Wang Gui's footsteps stopped, his eyes widened, full of disbelief, "Why are you? No! Why are you here!?" After seeing clearly Wang Gui was dumbfounded.

Wang Gui is the cousin of the Crown Princess, and also a classmate of Zhen Qingming. The Zhen family is higher than the Wang family, and Zhen Qingming was always No.1 when he was studying in the Imperial College. Wang Gui was also number one, but he was the last one. Compared with Zhen Qingming, Wang Gui is tired of Zhen Qingming but has nothing to do with him.

When the prince wanted to find someone to stay in Qingzhou to monitor Duan Wang's mansion, Wang Gui asked for orders to come.Speaking of which, Zhen Qingming hadn't seen him for five years.

I can think of him at the first time, because this guy has caused a lot of troubles in the capital, spending money like water, seeing beautiful women, no matter whether they are married or not, he will always get them. The boss found out that Zhen Qingming thought he was beaten badly when he heard that he was beaten badly. Who knew that he hid here after that incident.

"I'm here to handle the case." As he spoke, he stretched out his arms, and Dong Lai quickly opened the package on his body, and put Zhen Qingming on an official uniform in front of Wang Gui.

"I don't care if you handle the case or not. This is my territory. Did you come here with my master's permission?" He pointed at him, "Get lost!"

"When the criminal is caught, I will leave." Zhen Qingming walked inside as he said.

Wang Gui stopped him, "Stop! This is not the capital, and Xiang Zhen is protecting you, if you dare to move one more step, the Lord will let you come and go."

Zhen Qingming smiled and said, "I'd like to see how you let me go nowhere." As he spoke, he pushed him away and rushed inside.

Seeing a delicate-looking woman on the bed, he reached out and grabbed Zeng Qing, "Is that her?"

"Cousin?" Zeng Qing didn't speak, but the woman on the bed exclaimed.

"Put it on and take it away." Without looking at it, Zhen Qingming picked up the clothes on the ground and threw them on Li Ping'er's face.

Seeing that they were going to capture the new little beauty, Wang Gui was in a bad mood, "Come here!"

Hearing that someone forcibly broke into the mansion, all the guards of the Wang family came out. At this time, they heard the sound and immediately blocked the door.

The four soldiers seconded by Zhen Qingming glanced at each other and attacked them suddenly. By the time Li Ping'er got dressed, they had dealt with the guards of the Wang family.

The corner of Wang Guiqi's mouth trembled, "You, you, ruthless!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Zhen Qingming accepted all the orders unceremoniously, "Please also ask Mr. Wang to come with me."

"Get out!" Seeing that the guard was being beaten up and down, Wang Gui turned around angrily and left.

Zhen Qingming raised his eyebrows, and two yamen servants stepped forward to grab Wang Gui, "Young Master, I've offended you."

"Let go!" Wang Gui roared angrily, "Zhen Qingming, you dare to take me, a smug little official? You're going to die!"

"Wang Gui, you should know what kind of person I am, let you go? Dreaming!" Seeing him struggling, Zhen Qingming said, "Do you know who Li Ping'er is?"

"The woman I picked up on the street!" Wang Gui went out for a stroll a few days ago, passed by Xiyingmen, and couldn't help but stop when he saw Li Ping'er's exquisite figure, which was bulging up and down. Face, immediately snatched her back home without any explanation.This saved Zeng Qing a lot.

He originally planned to give Li Ping'er to the young master's family of Brush and Ink Workshop as a concubine, as long as that young master paid little attention to Li Ping'er, even if she wanted to pester him to make peace, she would not be able to leave the inner courtyard.

"The official is now telling you that the woman you picked up is already married, so you are committing adultery." He flicked his sleeves, "Take her away!"

"How dare you!?" Wang Guise said sternly.

Zhen Qingming glanced at him quietly, "I am an official appointed by the imperial court, so why not dare." Then he, Zeng Qing, Li Ping'er, and the case files were sent to the magistrate's yamen.

After handing over to the magistrate, and thanking those four people, Master Zhen left.

The four wanted to stop him, but Zhen Qingming had an official position and he was the son of Prime Minister Zhen, so they could only let him go.After King Duan finished listening to the reports of the four, Zhen Qingming had already left the city.As for what Wang Gui will do with Wang Gui, that's beyond his control.

As soon as I arrived in Taoyuan County, I heard, "My lord, it's not good!"

"What happened?" Zhen Qingming asked hurriedly.

"The Zhao family went to the Zeng's house to make a fuss, and insisted that the Zeng's family accompany them with a daughter-in-law."

Zhen Qingming snorted coldly, "Go and tell Zhao Yipeng that Li Ping'er left voluntarily, and then tell them that when I went to arrest Li Ping'er, she was lying on the bed with another man. If he dares to make trouble again, take the Zhao family away." When we go to the county government, each person will beat him twenty times!"

"Yes!" On a hot day, no one wants to run outside.The yamen servant told the Zhao family what Zhen Qingming said with a sullen face. The eyes of the Zhao family's parents were full of smiles, and Zhao Yipeng felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

One month after the case, in the Jinluan Hall, the emperor's imperial case was buried by the impeachment of the crown princess's natal family, and the emperor had no choice but to dismiss the crown prince's uncle's official position.

The prince looked at Zhen Xiang's eyes as if poisoned, wishing he could swallow him alive.

Zhen Xiang smiled wryly, he knew that his youngest son could make troubles, but he never expected that he would make troubles one after another, all of which went straight to the crown prince. Now, the emperor suspects that he is joining forces with Prince Duan, and I am afraid that he can go to court The days are numbered.

Zhen Qingming didn't know anything about his father's anxiety. Even if he knew, he wouldn't be nervous. King Duan and General Ye quietly took the Northeast, which is one-third of the territory of the dynasty, into their pockets.It was only a matter of time before he sent his troops to Beijing, and in that case, sooner or later, his family would stand on the opposite side of the prince.

"Can I collect peanuts today?" Sanlang gave the rest of the peanuts to the restaurant for free, and Master Zhen, who hadn't eaten peanuts for half a month, was very anxious.

"Yes, the beans will be harvested in two days, and later people will be busy, no matter how much money we give, no one will help us with the work." Saburo said and thought for a while, "Dong Lai Dong Bao watched people harvest peanuts, and the peanuts were harvested. In the side room, the peanut seedlings are crushed in the field and put into bags, and sold to King Duan tomorrow."

"Will Prince Duan do it?" Zhen Qingming doubted.

Sanlang: "Even if he doesn't want it, General Ye will not refuse." Hearing Zhen Qingming say that the four people who helped him capture Wang Gui last time were soldiers, he secretly guessed that Qingzhou has Ye's army. If so, there must be a lot of horses hidden in places they don't know.Seeing that autumn is coming to an end, maybe General Ye is sending people to collect horse fodder at this time.

"Sell?" Donglai Dongbao just stood up, "You still charge money?"

"Of course!" Saburo said, "Your Excellency bought the land for a few hundred taels, and you must earn back the land money."

Zhen Qingming's nature is the same as his father's, loyal to the people, he has been an official for half a year, and only has eyes for the laws of the country, let alone asking him to bribe his boss, even if he prepares gifts for him and teaches him how to bribe, he will do it.

General Ye's eyes lit up when he heard the peanut seedlings, and he opened his mouth and asked, "Does Master Zhen have peanut oil?"

"What is peanut oil?" Duan Wang, who gave birth half a month ago and was very weak at this time, asked curiously, "Can I eat it?"

"Yes! At least it's better than lard." General Ye said, "Tell Master Zhen, this general wants not only peanut seedlings but also peanuts, as many generals as he has."

When Sanlang heard this, he was in Wujia Village. Looking at the villagers queuing up to buy peanuts, Sanlang said back and forth, "Big fellows, think about it. Everyone in our village will plant peanuts next year. Once there are more peanuts, the price will go down." gone."

"Sanlang don't worry, rare things are more valuable, we know that. We don't plant too much, we plant a little on the ground by the river, and save it for oil extraction in the coming year."

"Then why do you want fifty catties?" The two acres of land in Sanlang's space harvested almost two thousand catties of peanuts. He didn't know how many peanuts he could get on his four and a half acres of land, so he stipulated that each family could only buy fifty catties at most. catty.

There are about a hundred households in the village. He was afraid that there would be no peanuts, so he repeatedly emphasized that peanuts next year would be very cheap.

"We have a lot of families." There are only three people in the other party's family. As soon as this statement came out, everyone looked at it, "Don't you just buy it and keep it at home?"

"Sanlang sells so expensive, three pennies a catty, who can afford it!" The other party said hastily.

"One catty of peanuts is enough for a dish if you peel off their shells. Why can't you afford them?" Someone answered, while others thought about it. In the end, only a dozen or so households with very bad families bought twenty or thirty catties of peanuts, and the rest all bought peanuts. Pack fifty catties.

After careful calculation, Saburo was stunned. He knew exactly what his land was like. If he planted his peanut seeds on the land with a maximum yield of [-] catties of wheat per mu, he could harvest a total of [-] catties of peanuts!

Wu Daming and his wife counted the copper coins until their hands cramped, "Sanlang, all this money is ours?" They pinched themselves hard as they said.
