Chapter 49 How barbaric
Of course, you can't say this in front of outsiders. Feng Yong just smiled indifferently: "I'm afraid that after hearing Li Langjun's words, he will be satisfied with this and not move forward in the future."
Li Yichang sighed: "The Feng family will have a prosperous literary style in the future, which can be seen from this."
“Then I appreciate Mr. Li’s kind words.” Feng Yong was hypocritically polite and smiled in his heart. As long as those scholars don’t call me a polite scum in the future, I’ll be thankful.
“I came here in a presumptuous manner without paying my respects in advance. It’s really rude, so please don’t blame me.” After the two of them sat down, Li Yi spoke again.
"Where do people in the countryside come from so many rules? It is an unexpected joy to have distinguished guests come to your door, so why should you blame them?"
Li Yilian said he did not dare.
After the two of them were polite, Li Yi turned to the topic: "Not long ago, I heard that Guan Zhang and other families had purchased a secret technique from Li Langjun, but I don't know whether it was true or not?"
Silly and bold?
Feng Yong lowered his eyelids and wondered where did this guy get the news?
The Guan and Zhang families bought a chicken-raising method from Feng Yong. Many people know about it, but most of them will not tell it. The mainstream version circulated in the elite circles was that the Prime Minister's wife had to deal with the situation between the two, which made the Guan family give up the idea of causing trouble with Feng Yong.
As for what benefits the Prime Minister’s wife has gained and how much money the Guan family has swindled, this is pure slander, fiction, and does not exist.
Besides, this matter concerns some of the biggest dignitaries in the capital, and the Prime Minister’s wife is also involved. Although Zhu Jiweng’s technique has made many insiders covetous, but because of the high stakes involved in this matter, no one dares to come to Feng Yong. trouble.
As for those indigenous families who knew about it, their representative Liao Li is currently being pushed to the ground and rubbed by Zhuge Lao Yao...
So, they are reintroducing a representative?
"That's true. Could it be that Li Langjun also wants to buy this secret technique?"
"How dare Yi have such an idea?" Li Yi waved his hand and said with a smile, "The four houses of Guan, Zhang, Zhao and Ma are all the residences of kings and lords. How dare I be so presumptuous?"
Feng Yong looked at him suspiciously and asked, "If you didn't come here for this matter, then why did Li Langjun come here?"
“I came here this time not for the wish of blessing the rooster, but for another important treasure of the Feng Mansion.”
Heavy treasure? I'll rub it! Has it still been discovered? The only thing that can be called a valuable treasure in the whole house now is tea! But I haven’t planted any tea trees yet. The tea I drink now is all picked from the wild. What’s wrong with that?
Feng Yong suddenly felt like vomiting blood. Throwing out the chicken-raising technique would at most make him feel a little distressed. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thrown it away so simply. But if he threw the tea leaves out, he felt that he would explode. ah!
“Where’s the talk of heavy treasures?” Feng Yong forced a smile and planned to carry on.
Things like tea soup are considered luxuries. Tea is basically picked from wild tea trees, and the yield is not high. So no matter how good the tea made by Feng Yong is, how much is it worth?
But now the guy in front of him revealed his next plan to make a fortune in one breath, which made Feng Yong deeply suspicious. How did he know that this method of making tea could make him rich? What exactly went wrong?
"Why should Feng Langjun pretend to be confused?" Li Yi smiled softly, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, which was an obvious hint in Feng Yong's eyes, "Besides, Feng Langjun didn't hide this from others. , everyone can see it. That’s why I came to ask for it shamelessly.”
It is true that tea cannot be hidden, but I have never mentioned it to anyone that I know how to grow tea trees! How did you know?
Li Yi didn't urge him, but took another sip of tea. He felt that the tea soup was indeed as the boy at the house said, and it was different from other tea soups. Amid the mist and clouds, there is a unique sense of elation.
“How much does Li Langjun want to bid?”
Feng Yong finally spoke, his face a little gloomy.
"One thousand guan, plus ten well-trained familiar servants." Li Yi frowned a little, but he didn't expect that this person was such a philistine. It seemed that Zhao Erlang's praise was not credible.
You are dreaming! Feng Yong wanted to throw tea directly into his face on the spot.
"Thirty thousand guan." Feng Yong suppressed the anger in his heart, stared at Li Yi and said, "This is the lowest price."
"Why did Feng Langjun go so far in deceiving others?" Li Yi said displeasedly, "I asked sincerely, that's why I offered this price. Feng Zhuang's book of enlightenment, which can be learned by all children, was used to deceive me like this. What?"
“What enlightenment?” Feng Yong felt something was wrong.
“It’s Feng Langjun who teaches literacy to the villagers’ children in the wilderness of Fengzhuang every day. I also saw it some time ago...”
It seems like we are not on the same channel?
Feng Yong stretched out his hand and stopped Li Yi's words: "Hold on, hold on! Did Li Langjun say that thousand-character essay?"
"Is this the essay that the boy was reading just now? It was originally called the Thousand-Character Essay?"
I misunderstood, I misunderstood!
Feng Yong laughed and said, "How much did Li Langjun bid just now?"
“Two thousand guan, plus ten experienced people who know how to farm, no more.”
"No. It's free!" Feng Yong excitedly grabbed Li Yi's hand from across the table, "No money. Just people, give me three hundred people."
Li Yi was a little confused by Feng Yong's sudden change of attitude: "Don't want money?"
"No need." Feng Yong nodded with a sacred face, "How can the scholar's affairs be judged by the smell of copper? I will give it to Brother Li for free! As long as Brother Li can give me three hundred people..."
The Han and Tang Dynasties were strong and prosperous, which is recognized by later generations.
After Feng Yong traveled through time, he finally realized the powerful and confident side of the Han Dynasty, or the domineering side. During the Western Han Dynasty, the free trade of people was allowed, but it was only explicitly prohibited during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Of course, if you sell yourself voluntarily, or if your parents sell their children to others, this is allowed, and it must be vouched for by the dentist. In general, the basic principle is that it cannot be forced.
However, this is only for the Han people. If the aristocratic family only treats the common people as cattle and cattle, then to the foreigners, they are all cattle as well! He is not even qualified to be the leader of Guizhou. Therefore, the law on human trafficking does not exist at all for foreigners. Han slaves could still keep a job in the government. If someone died, their master might have to pay compensation or something. If foreign slaves died, they would be taken out and buried without anyone caring about them.
Of course, a hundred years from now, this situation will be reversed. The mentally retarded representative of the aristocratic family personally led the Hu people into the Central Plains, and the Han people became the food of the Hu people, called "two-legged sheep."
In response, Feng Yong said that ancient times were really barbaric!
But I like this barbarism, at least I like the current barbarism! I still have 500 acres of land waiting to be cultivated!
Li Ji twitched the corner of his mouth. Could it be that this guy really doesn’t want to sell it to me? Why did he say that he had servants as soon as he opened his mouth? Isn't it because his father is the governor of Gajiang? Now that Nanzhong is in rebellion, almost every Liao village is involved in the war. Today the Liao stronghold came to attack, and tomorrow the Mandong came to attack, and the fighting almost never stopped. There were indeed many prisoners under his father's command, and he had already killed several batches, and even more would be killed in the future.
