"Since I have the ability to really turn the saline-alkali land here into fertile land, doesn't that mean that I know how to farm better than you?" I smiled and asked a rhetorical question, which made these old men who were still laughing happily swallow on the spot. These old men stared at each other, as if they felt incredible, but such a big temptation was placed in front of them, if they didn't do it, wouldn't they watch such a large amount of wealth slip away from their fingertips in vain, which would probably make them die.

"! My old man Zhao is cheap, I'm afraid of a birdman, old guys, you can do it yourself, anyway, my old Zhao is determined, my lord, you really have the ability to turn this saline-alkali land into a fertile field and grow crops, don't say that you want us to learn from you, even if you don't let us learn, we have to take advantage of you. "Old man Zhao spoke with a very high momentum, but I like this kind of courageous person.

"Okay, if you say so, old man Zhao, then let's sign it now and draw a pledge. Anyway, Fang Mou is an official, and he signed a gambling contract with all the old people, and posted it outside the official office, so that the people of Weinan County can come to testify, and when the time comes, I, the official, will naturally be embarrassed to regret it, how about it? I stretched out my hand, Old Man Zhao rolled up his sleeves, rubbed his hand on his own placket, gritted his teeth, snapped, and high-fived me: "It's done!" ”

And at this time, Fang Chengye had already run over with a shout: "Childe, childe, someone is coming from Beijing." It is His Majesty's bodyguard. ”

As soon as these words came out, the old men were frightened, and perhaps at this moment, they remembered that this son was the county magistrate of Weinan, and he was also a well-known high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty and the son-in-law of His Majesty. I hurriedly waved my hand to signal these old men not to panic. "It's okay, old man, you sit a little wider, Fang Mou will come when he goes, Fang Cheng, go and get a pen and paper, my son and these old people want to make a gambling contract." After I shouted at Fang Cheng, I greeted the Ouchi guard who had already dismounted and was striding towards this side.

"My lord, by the edict of Your Majesty, please return to Beijing with your subordinates immediately." After the Ouchi guard saluted me respectfully, Fang said to himself.

This made me stunned: "Oh, what's going on?" "My heart tightened, but seeing that the expression of the Ouchi guard didn't move, I was relieved, as long as Uncle Li's body was fine, no matter how big it was, for me, it would just be a fart. The Ouchi guards glanced at the old peasants with strange eyes and trembling expressions, and lowered their voices: "It's about Tibet." It was information from the Concert Academy, and His Majesty sent his subordinates to invite your Excellency to go to the palace together. ”

------------------------------------------------ heard this, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows, tilted my head and asked the inner guard: "Could it be the ...... of the lord of the Tubo country" The inner guard nodded lightly, I was also excited, damn it, it is definitely a big event, the lord of the Tubo country, Songtsan Gampo, uh fart, Uncle Li's preferred son-in-law is so uh fart? I wanted to pull out my legs and go with the Ouchi guards, but seeing that the old farmers were still squatting in place and not moving a little, my mind changed: "Please wait for the official for a while, and when I sign a gambling contract with these old people, I will go together, and it will take less than a quarter of an hour." ”

"Bet! My lord, do you make a gambling contract with the people? "Ouchi's guard almost fell into the ditch, staring at me with straight eyes. I laughed dryly: "Don't worry, you'll know in a moment." By the way, don't scare them. ”

The Ouchi guards seemed to be very curious to see what I was gambling with a bunch of old peasants who seemed to have nothing. Anyway, I said that it wouldn't be long to delay, and besides, he had already passed on the order, and if he went back late, Uncle Li would blame him, and that would be a trouble for my son-in-law, and he wouldn't be able to pull him on, so he nodded and agreed, followed me, and walked towards those old peasants.

"The old man sits on you, this is my buddy, there is nothing to be afraid of, come and come, drink tea and drink tea, and when my family member takes a pen and paper, we will set up the note, so that when the time comes, if Fang Mou can't do it, you just come and take the cow away, with my signature, no one dares to stop it." I pressed Old Man Zhao back onto the mat, poured a cup of tea for the Ouchi guard, and said with a smile.

When the Ouchi guards on the side saw me looking at him, they had to nod vigorously, as if he was sent by His Majesty to make a special trip to witness our financial contract, and they were so happy that a group of old peasants saluted the Ouchi guards one by one, and at this time, Fang Cheng finally rushed over with a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Writing things, this son is naturally familiar with the road, swish, write a piece, and then read it out, so that these old farmers can hear it clearly, after they have no objections, I will continue to write, fortunately, there are not many words, not big, just write enough. This group of old peasants has one, and I also took one, the old peasants don't know how to read, I had to ask the names one by one, add their names, and then sign my name, the two sides draw, and then, a group of old farmers still looked at the Ouchi guard who arrived halfway, the Ouchi guard looked at the old peasants who grinned at him inexplicably, and he was completely confused.

I understood, handed the pen to the Ouchi guard, and then said with a smile: "Since you came to call me on behalf of Your Majesty, you will also be a witness, sign and pledge, and as an intermediary notarize our gambling contract is valid." ”

The Ouchi guard signed his name with a depressed face, and also covered his fingers with ink, which finally made these old men laugh, and they also spoke favorably. "It's not that we old men don't believe in you, but there are officials bigger than you to testify, so naturally it's better, do we dare not believe the officials sent by Your Majesty?"

It's not just me who said this, even the Ouchi guard felt embarrassed, when did the Ouchi guard who belonged to the sixth rank turn out to be taller than the dignified fourth-rank general? But fortunately, I pulled this brother and showed that he didn't need to explain at all, explaining that it would be bad for these old farmers to regret it.

Bidding farewell to this group of old farmers who were so happy that they seemed to have a treasure, I took the one I took and handed it to a general, and asked me to follow these old farmers to take it to the official office, and hand it over to the county Cheng Cui Renshi, so that he could stick it outside the official office, so that these old farmers could be completely reassured, well, in fact, my father wanted to arouse the curiosity of the people of Weinan County, so that they would also notice this matter, whether they won or lost, it was of great benefit to me to win the trust of the basic people of Weinan County. As long as you have trust, it is definitely much easier to do things.

After the instructions, Fang Cheng and Bo Narjin, the two loyal servants who had already prepared to lead the horses for me, hurried to Chang'an City with the Ouchi guards sent by Uncle Li. There was no word all the way, because it was a fast horse galloping, and in less than half an hour, he arrived in Chang'an.

Let these two loyal servants wait outside the palace, and then follow the inner guards straight to the Qifeng Pavilion where Uncle Li is, and when they arrived, there was no one, and they only found out when they asked, Uncle Li couldn't wait, and had already gone to the staff hospital to brag and fart. I had no choice but to turn around again and hurried to the staff house.

As soon as ------------------------------------------------ entered the hall door, sure enough, it was already full of officials from the General Staff Academy, as well as a number of important ministers from the Tang Dynasty, and the old man of my family was also impressively listed. Uncle Li was talking with his eyebrows fluttering, and when he saw me arriving, he raised his hand at me: "Come here, why did the virtuous son-in-law only arrive now?" ”

"My son-in-law was delayed for a while because of some official duties, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." I took two steps forward and hurriedly saluted Uncle Li.

"Hehe, since it's official business, it's okay to come late, sit down, everyone......" Uncle Li began to salivate again, and I sat down directly beside Su Dingfang. Su Dingfang moved her ass and made room for me. "Brother Dingfang, what's the matter, I'm in a hurry, little brother, I don't quite understand what's going on."

Su Dingfang smiled and raised his eyebrows very proudly: "Brother Jun, I am very happy, the lord of Tubo, Songtsen Gampo, died of illness, and the Minister of State Lu Dongzan and other adults hid the news and did not send it, and sent someone to edict the two brothers of Songtsen Gampo to return to the capital. Hey, hey, hey......" Su Dingfang was saying, and the people in front of him had already passed the information over, so I snatched it from Su Dingfang's hand and read it carefully.

It turned out that Songtsen Gampo's condition suddenly worsened in early June, and he was said to be unconscious, and in the end he only lasted until mid-June, and he was in the palace confinement. At the time of his death, Her Royal Highness the princess was also by his side, and Songtsen Gampo did not leave an edict indicating whether his grandson would inherit the throne because he died violently, but when Songtsen Gampo died, several ministers around him and Lu Dongzan discussed together, and decided to serve Mangsong Mangtsen, the grandson of Songtsen Gampo.

Sure enough, those ministers seem to be in good hands with Lu Dongzan. Like Lu Dongzan, there are their respective clans behind him, although the strength is not as strong as Lu Dongzan, but together together, it is more than one step higher than Lu Dongzan, Lu Dongzan's current compromise must be only temporary, think about another time and space branch, Lu Dongzan and his son have controlled the Tubo government for decades, and naturally have their vicious and decisive means to clean up this group of ministers with his general mind.
