I was a gentleman in ancient times

Song Qing couldn't believe it, "You are the ones who want to open up barren hills? What are you going to use them for?" These two brats must be playing with money, right?The manpower and material resources needed to open the money are not a small fee.Yingyang Xie family, do you really have money and no place to spend it?The young people are allowed to mess around.

Song Qing looked at the mountain not far away, feeling a little complicated. There were many people on the mountain.Whether logging, or carrying soil, or cutting vines, there are already a lot of places where a large piece of open space has been sorted out.

Xie Zhuo cupped his hands, showing his trademark smile, "Master Song, we don't have any other ideas, we just want to plant some tea trees on the barren hills."

"What? Planting tea trees?" Song Qing was dumbfounded, and asked cautiously, "But...is it a well-known tea?"

Xie Zhuo nodded, "Exactly, the tea leaves we sell are obtained from tea trees and baked by Xie's secret method."

Song Qing pinched his beard. Hearing this, his hands trembled and almost tore off a few beards.He knows that the tea on the market is hard to buy, and every year when the tea comes out of the market, it will be snatched up by all the aristocratic families.Many people who are slow to respond can only look away and sigh.

But what Xie Jiazi said just now shocked him, to plant tea trees on these barren hills, to plant tea trees worth thousands of dollars, this... This is really unimaginable.

This kind of tea is only found in south of Lingnan and Shunan, and it is transported to various places by the Xie family's fleet every year.It can be said that it is rare in other places, but if only tea trees are planted here, its value is incomparable.It is conceivable that in the future, this barren mountain will probably become the object of competition for everyone from the aristocratic family.

Swallowing, Song Qingcai organized his words and said, "You really want to plant tea trees? Can we plant them here?"

Xie Zhuo glanced at Wei Su, and then said uncertainly: "It should be no problem, but whether tea trees can be planted in this place, we still have to plant them to know."

Xie Zhuo's tongue-twister and uncertain answer made Song Qing dumbfounded.Since they are not sure, why make such a big battle?Are you sure you're not joking?

Wei Su laughed, of course he knew that tea can be grown here, and he also knew the method of growing tea. There is a record in the "Tea Classics" about the method of growing tea: the art is not real, but the planting is rare. The method is like growing melons, which can be harvested at the age of three .Note①

When he was young in his previous life, he grew up with his grandmother, where every household could grow, pick and make tea.Although he didn't stay there for a few years at that time, but after thinking about it for a while, he knew the method.Later, he fell in love with making tea, and went out of his way to learn about a lot of things like this.Therefore, since Wei Su dared to propose to open up barren hills to grow tea, he was sure of success.

He interjected and said: "Don't you look at who is in charge of this matter. If I'm not sure, how can I take risks? Xie's family was brought by me to invest, uh! Let's call it investment, that is, he contributes money and effort , and the future rewards can also be seen.”

Song Qing looked at him, wondering: "Investment? How to invest?"

Wei Su smiled slightly, "Sir Song, you have also seen that the manpower and financial resources needed to open up barren mountains are impossible for our government office to have that ability. Then we can only find people who can provide money, and it happens that the Xie family has this financial resources .”

Song Qing nodded, the Xie family did have the financial resources.However, this Xie Jiazi must not have been deceived by Wei Su, right?In other words, no one would spend their property indiscriminately.

Wei Su went on to explain: "This is actually a matter of mutual benefit. You also know how much the demand for tea has been in the past two years, and how high the value of tea has been. It will cost more to transport it from Lingnan and Shunan. If Planting tea trees here can at least save the cost of the journey. You only need to transport the tea tree seeds, and we will open up the barren hills here to plant tea trees, and after two or three years, we will buy tea secrets on the spot. Master Song, this barren hill is Mountains of gold and silver..."

"Hiss~" Song Qing could already foresee the value of these barren hills in the future.At this time, when he looked at the barren mountain again, his eyes were shining.

Wei Su secretly observed Song Qing's expression, and couldn't help but feel amused at this moment, because he was afraid that you wouldn't be tempted.

"These barren hills are unclaimed lands, which belong to my jurisdiction. Opening them up now will not only allow the landless people to do things and earn money, but also bring considerable benefits to the imperial court in the future. What do you think, Master Song?" Wei Su said with a smile.

"Okay, okay! Although I knew Mr. Wei's ability earlier, now I know that I still underestimate him. In this way, not only will the fate of the people be changed, but the country of Lou will also be changed." Song Qing can already imagine With the tea trees planted, maybe the whole Lou country will be prosperous and strong.After all, the benefits of tea are there, as long as you have the heart, you can see it. "

Wei Su shook his head, and said modestly: "Wei Su is only worried about those people who have nothing to rely on, and has no choice but to use the wasteland to make these people have food and clothing. It is only because Mr. Xie Jiulang is willing to help that he can do this."

Song Qing didn't have time to think about it, and bowed deeply to Wei Su and Xie Zhuo, "That's great! I will report back to the king immediately, and I think the king can understand what Mr. Wei has done."

Wei Su turned sideways in disrespect, waved his hands and said: "He Lao Song lord, this is Wei Su's duty. If Song lord can help Wei Su speak in front of the king, it is already the greatest support for Wei Su .”

If you can thank me now, it will be good if you don't scold me in the future.

Xie Zhuo also resigned modestly, and Song Qing went back to report to Lord Lou without stopping.

Soon, it spread throughout the capital.Wei Su wants to use the barren hills to plant tea trees. They don't know what a tea tree looks like, so how can tea be ignorant?

In the restaurant, a group of people sat together, drinking and chatting.

"Master Wei is really generous. He can persuade the Xie family in Yingyang to bring the tea tree seeds to Lou country to grow. There is no one else."

"Who would have thought? When Mr. Wei sent people to open up the barren hills, you were still laughing. Now you have nothing to say?" Didn't everyone's faces be slapped?

Someone blushed, "Liu'er, you said it as if you didn't laugh at the time. I remember you were the one who laughed at Mr. Wei the loudest, right?"

Liu'er was thick-skinned, and he waved his hand when he heard the words, "Hey, who hasn't made a mistake in judgment? That means Mr. Wei can have such courage?"

Everyone agrees with this statement, and someone said enthusiastically: "God knows how much tea trees will be all over the mountain in the future, and how much it will cost."

"I don't know how much you earn, but you're definitely not in it, hahaha!" Everyone laughed.

The man didn't think it was disobedient, "Who can say clearly about this in the future? Look at the people outside the city who lost their fields. Now they are opening up wasteland under the call of Lord Wei. Lord Wei is never harsh on others. How good is it? It's enviable. Extremely."

But for those who followed Lord Wei to open up barren mountains, not only would they get money every day, but they would also have a good meal.It's much easier than the civilians in the royal city like them.

Everyone sighed, yes, originally these people lost their fields and they were in danger.Now that there is Master Wei, those fields can not only be sold for a good price, but also they can have things to do without selling themselves as slaves, and they can get money.But it's much better than their small businesses, but I can't envy them.

"It's a pity, if Master Wei can want me, I will definitely not say anything, and sign up."

"Hahaha, six sons, you're just wishful thinking. Didn't Lord Wei say before that you don't need manpower?" Following Lord Wei to open up barren mountains, the treatment is really good.Even if you don't want to do it, you can quit at any time.well!If there is such a good thing, they must all be willing to go.

"I didn't use it in the past, can I still use it in the future? There are so many barren hills outside the city, why don't you use more people?" Liu Zi took a sip of his wine and said as a matter of course.

Everyone was booing him, when they heard someone running on the street telling each other, "Master Situ Wei has issued a notice to recruit deserters, as long as they are hardworking and hardworking, young and strong, others are not limited."

Everyone in the restaurant looked at each other in dismay, and the last six burst out laughing, "Haha, what do you think? I didn't expect that I have the ability to predict..." Before I finished boasting, the people sitting there ran out, and in a blink of an eye There was no one.

The six sons were taken aback for a moment, and then they figured it out. These people must have gone to the government office.Unexpectedly, he didn't wait for him and didn't show loyalty, so he ran out angrily, but was stopped by someone, and when he looked back, it was the lady in charge of this restaurant.

Mrs. Zhao spread her palms, and said viciously: "Why, you haven't paid for the wine yet? Do you want to eat for free?"

The six sons had a bitter face, and scolded his cronies all over in his heart, and reluctantly took out money to pay for the drink, so that he could escape.

Mrs. Zhao weighed the coin in her hand with satisfaction, and then turned around, and saw Zhao Zhong coming out of the back room.

Ever since Min Lu came to look for him, although he was tempted, he had been hesitating. In addition, his mother-in-law and aunt at home did not approve, so the matter was delayed.

Today he has made up his mind, "I figured it out, Mr. Wei is just like Brother Min said, he is a good person who really does things for the people. I will go back and follow Mr. Wei. Don't say anything else, Mr. Wei's heart is worth it. He paused, and said decisively: "Whether you agree or not, I will go back today!"

Zhao Zhongtie was determined, no matter what his mother-in-law said today, he would not change his mind.

Mrs. Zhao laughed, and waved her hand, "If you want to go, just go, but what do you look like? I just made you a new dress two days ago, and you can wear it."

Zhao Zhong was taken aback for a moment, Mrs. Zhao had pushed her into the back room to change clothes.

The news that Wei Su used the barren hills to plant tea trees was not only passed down in the streets and alleys, but the aristocrats of the aristocratic family knew about it earlier.

Now their only question is, can they really grow live tea trees here?There is a saying that oranges grown in Huainan are oranges, and oranges grown in Huaibei are oranges.Can the water and soil be different?

Some people have doubts and disbelief, while others hold a wait-and-see attitude, and some people's minds are beginning to come alive.If this matter doesn't work out, wouldn't it be a joke for Wei Su to take all the trouble to figure it out?If there is no certainty, I believe that a smart person like Wei Su will never make a big move.

Therefore, they can't just watch the huge profit of tea, they have to get a share of it no matter what.

When Xu Xuan heard the news, he was so angry that he almost smashed the jade in his hand.Sure enough, what he was worried about was right. The profound meaning of Wei Su's big movement was beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

It's just that he actually persuaded Xie's family to contribute money and efforts to invest in this barren mountain where nothing is known. Isn't Xie's family afraid of losing their money?

Wei Su's plan has taken shape, and even Lou Guojun agreed to his plan. Wei Su's rise is already the general trend, and he can't stop it at all.

He has regretted it now, he did everything possible to give Wei Su the position of little Situ.It was the platform that gave him the opportunity to take off, and Lou Guojun was more optimistic about Wei Su, and even the important officials in the court would probably curry favor with Wei Su, just for the sake of contaminating his interests.At that time, Wei Su will be prosperous in the imperial court, with a bright future, and it is even more impossible for him to have a chance to bring him down.

But what if there is regret?There is no medicine for regret in this world.I only hate myself for missing a move.

The young master entered the palace in his arms and was beaten by Lou Guojun, feeling aggrieved in his heart.Who would have thought that all the little Situ had been forced to have nowhere to go, but when it was Wei Su's turn, he was the one who made the most of it.

The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he was to send someone to Qingyun despite all his efforts.However, he also knew that Wei Su couldn't move now, so he could only put him down temporarily, and he didn't believe that Wei Su's luck would always be so good.
