Crossing with Baidu To Farm

As soon as Xia Jinhua came in, he found that the atmosphere was very wrong. Everyone in the city lord's mansion was obviously malicious when they saw their group, with the most obvious hostility.

Sikong Jue's vigilance suddenly rose, if this Murong Qian had bad intentions, they would not be able to show mercy.

Xia Jinhua carried a briefcase with her, which contained her work-related documents, as well as the conditions of the canal detected along the way. If possible, now discuss with Murong Qian about the canal.

But now it seems that this Murong Qian's attitude is unclear, and he cannot relax his vigilance.

Xia Jinhua patted her briefcase, there was a bag of ** in it, if this Murong Qian dared to take action, she would use her ** to scare her.

The group entered the mansion, entered the reception hall, several rooms were seated, Sikong Jue sat in the guest seat, Xia Jinhua sat next to him, and Sikong Jue's minister of the Ministry of Industry was also beside him.

On the main seat was Murong Qian, and Murong Ge and Murong Xiu were sitting with them, but when they saw the father and son, Sikong Jue looked at him with a little more scrutiny, a little more thought, and mixed Kind of hostile.

Xia Jinhua didn't know why, and Sikong Jue was even more confused. Seeing the colors of the father and son, how could he have the illusion of an ugly daughter-in-law seeing her in-laws...

The maid came to serve tea, the fragrance filled the whole living room, and the atmosphere was relieved, but Murong Qian forced a smile, and politely said a few words with Sikong Jue.

It just so happened that Murong Yan came out, and the soothing atmosphere in the living room suddenly became tense again.

Sikong Jue naturally stood up and greeted him, "It turned out to be Miss Murong. Thank you Miss Murong for your steamed bun a few days ago."

Murong Yan looked at the person sitting on the guest seat in the hall with a slightly disappointed expression, but she still smiled, "I just settled the refugees under my father's order."

Murong Yan also came out to accompany him. This Tanzhou is not as numerous as the Central Plains, and women's families can also show their faces.

Xia Jinhua looked at Murong Yan and seemed to be very lost, thinking in secret.

I just saw her looking full of anticipation when she came out. After seeing them, she felt a bit of loss. Looking at her appearance, it was obvious that she was dressed up but did not see the performance of her expected lover.

Could it be that she has a crush on someone?

When Xia Jinhua was gossiping in his heart, Sikong Jue had already talked to Murong Qian about the mineral matter.

The Murong family did not directly deal in minerals, and they always felt that it would be disrespectful to do business as a city owner. The Murong family was also a noble family, so naturally they did not dare to lower their value. The mines belonged to him, and the mining rights were released. Taxes are paid according to the amount of mining.

Sikong Jue handed Murong Qian all the minerals needed for fertilizer and cement, and said with a smile, "City Lord Murong, look at this list, are there any mines in your city?"

Murong Qian looked at the long string, and Murong Yan, who was in charge of mineral matters, looked at it. Murong Yan was wandering around the world at this time, and her face was covered with a touch of disappointment. Seeing that Murong Qian was still calling herself, he Reluctantly pick up the spirit, check the list.

I saw that on the list, there was a long list of minerals, some expensive and some cheap.

Although she is a woman, she has used it like a man since she was a child. Murong Qian was very relieved to leave some matters of the City Lord's Mansion to her to take care of. Murong Qian was in charge of many things in this mine, and she immediately said. : "These minerals are all in my Yancheng mine. I don't know how much you want."

Xia Jinhua was overjoyed and said, "Without affecting the normal trade transactions of the miners, we can sell as much as we want. Money is not a problem."

A few people in Murong were shocked. The function of these minerals is to build houses, and some of them can be used as medicine. They actually said how much is there?

Could it be that Xiacheng is newly built and ready to start construction?

Murong Yan couldn't figure out what they were doing. In fact, Yancheng produced the most iron ore, which was valuable.

Sikong Jue smiled and said, "That's it."

Murong Qian smiled, but his heart was in ups and downs. He exchanged glances with Murong Xiu, Murong Ge and others. The father and son exchanged eye contact and came to the same conclusion - this guy knows that the ore is Murong. Director Yan, wanting to win Murong Yan's smile, he has already sacrificed his blood!

Buying some useless ores to generate income for Yancheng is really a way to please!

Anyway, what he has earned, and what Yancheng has earned, Murong Qianben responded with a smile.

Murong Yan discussed the price of the ore with Sikong Jue Xia Jinhua and others, and Xia Jinhua took out the sales contract from his briefcase, in duplicate, and carefully reviewed it with Murong Yan.

Murong Yan was very curious about the thick stack of contracts, so she opened it and saw that there were more than ten pages of the contract.

On the contract, all aspects of the transaction are well stated, including the payment of 100 taels of silver by Sikong Jue as a deposit. If the contract comes into effect, Yancheng unilaterally tears up the contract and does not fulfill the sales and purchase agreement, it will be doubled. The deposit, as well as the time and place for the contract to take effect, and the conditions for the contract to be invalid, were all clearly divided, which made Murong Yan amazed and couldn't help but look more closely.

At first glance, it was only half an hour. It was the first time that Murong Yan saw this so-called contract, and he saw it very carefully.

Needles fell in the room. Xia Jinhua took a sip of tea and watched Murong Yan look at the contract. The three Murong family members didn't know what was on the contract. They just saw that Murong Yan was knocking so seriously, and they already knew it. The conclusion has been reached—they must be looking at the list of Sikong’s Absolute Betrothal Gifts!

After watching it for half an hour, Murong Yan finished reading the ten-page contract, closed the contract, and said with a smile, "Mrs Xia really has foresight, this contract can't be written in detail, and it's a great idea to come here. Prudent man, this business, we do it."

As soon as Xia Jinhua was overjoyed, he asked Murong Yan to sign the contract, and after pressing his fingerprints, the sale and purchase agreement between the two parties was reached.

When Xia Jinhua was observing Murong Yan, Murong Yan was also observing her. Seeing that her voice was a bit sharp and very pleasant, she thought she was just a young man at first.

It is rumored that Sikong, the city lord of Xiacheng, never loves women and men, but it is this Xia counselor who loves him. The Xia counselor's "Xia" is still named by Sikong Jue, which means that the rumor is to remind him that he is the one below...

When the contract was signed, Murong Yan was able to get close to Xia Jinhua, and when he walked in, he smelled a fragrance, which was clearly the scent of a sachet used by women. Looking at Xia Jinhua, Danfengyan, Liuyemei, Yingying smiled like a cherry blossom, although she was wearing a scent when she spoke. A bit of a man's pride, but still a woman's charm, just hidden by her.

Look at that Sikong Jue again, look at this Xia Mo Shi's eyes, clearly with a strong love.

It turned out that this advisor Xia was the lady of the city lord.

After the contract for the sale of minerals was signed, Murong Yan handed the contract to Murong Qian to see. Murong Qian saw that she signed the contract so readily, and thought that her daughter would marry, and she was unhappy, but when she thought about it, she could The condition of my daughter's temptation must be the best in the world, so I can't help but look forward to it.

But when I took over the contract, I turned over a dozen pages, all of which were the details of the sale, and there was no news about the dowry.

Murong Qian was very disappointed, and handed the contract to Murong Xiu and Murong Ge to see. The two of them were shocked when they saw it, and they seemed to be impressed by Sikong Jue.

After discussing the detailed rules for the sale of minerals, Xia Jinhua took out his plan for building a canal directly connecting Xia and Yan cities from his briefcase.

Among them, the advantages of the gradual canal, the cheapness of the two cities, and the feasibility of the canal, etc., are clearly written, and the sketches of the canal route are also drawn.

Sikong Jue saw that Murong's family was serious, and from time to time he showed unexpected expressions, he said: "We have already explored on the way here, this canal is feasible, and the route has been surveyed almost, but Half of this route is in Yancheng's territory, and half is in my Xiacheng's territory, if you want to excavate, you have to listen to your opinion, Murong City Lord."

Murong Qian also naturally knew the truth of 'If you want to get rich, build roads first'. It's not that he didn't think about building this canal, but the resistance was too great.

He said: "I have a lot of rain and rivers in Tanzhou. The city lord and the former city lord of Biancheng also discussed the need to build a canal. The canal connects the two cities and runs through several small county towns in the center, which is good for businessmen. However, when we encountered difficulties on the way, we had to give up. If we wanted to build the canal, it would be too time-consuming, so we might as well take a long way."

As soon as Xia Jinhua heard it, it turned out that they had learned this lesson before, and it was all valuable experience. She hurriedly took out the notebook, took the charcoal pen and began to record, while asking: "Can you tell us, we have encountered Is there any difficulty?"

Murong Yan was very curious about the charcoal pen in her hand, and while looking at it, she said: "There are several difficulties in this. First, there are too many bandits along the way. Our two cities have sent troops to destroy several times, but they have never worked. It is impossible for the bandits to be a disaster for one or two days. Second, the digging of the new canal requires a large amount of arable land, and even the entire village in some places will be occupied. The villagers along the way are complaining. Killing half of the people in a village, angered my father, and canceled the plan."

"Third, there is a mountain in it, which is on the planned route of the canal. If you want to dig a canal, those mountains are not easy to deal with. If you take a detour, the amount of work is too large."

After Murong Yan finished speaking, Xia Jinhua had already finished writing, and after meeting Sikongjue's eyes, Sikongjue gently put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "Xiacheng will be responsible for the thief, and the immigration of the villagers. , I also have a solution in Xiacheng, as for the matter of those mountains, I also have a solution in Xiacheng, now, I just wait for your opinion, City Master Murong."

"That mountain, do you have a solution?" Murong Qian was shocked, and the others were also shocked.

Murong Qian had personally explored those hills. If he wanted to dig through the canal, it would be impossible. The amount of work was simply too great.

Sikong Jue nodded: "No problem, absolutely no problem."

Xia Jinhua also said: "This time the canal must be excavated. According to our preliminary plan, if the canal is excavated, it will only take one day to go from Yancheng to Xiacheng. Otherwise, it will only take more than half a day. Moreover, it can connect all the rivers between the two cities into a network, and it is very convenient for the counties to be in this waterway network, and communication between the two cities will be indispensable in the future, and it is imperative to build a canal."

The Murong family looked at each other, Murong Qian looked at Murong Xiu, Murong Xiu looked at Murong Ge, Murong Ge looked at Murong Yan, and in the end, a few people couldn't decide to pay attention, Murong Xiu said, "This matter involves a lot, I, Yancheng, don't want to be Bian. The tyrants of the city have to allow us to discuss and discuss."

The four of Murong's family went to the inner hall to discuss. Xia Jinhua took a few bites of the cakes on the coffee table to fill his stomach, and asked Sikong Jue, "How to deal with the people's grievances?"

Sikong Jue smiled: "I've seen things like land occupation a lot. The first is that the compensation is not enough, and the second is that the ancestors are unwilling to move away. Both are easy to handle."

"How?" Xia Jinhua hurriedly asked.

Sikong Jue gave Xia Jinhua a doting smile, fed her a piece of cake, and said, "In the first case, give more money, the farmhouse is fully provided, so naturally it will be moved, in the second case, you have to It's our national teacher's turn to appear."

Xia Jinhua couldn't help laughing, in the second case, it would be just right for the magic stick to come out!

In the inner hall, several members of the Murong family were discussing.

Murong Ge: "I don't think that Sikong is joking. Could it be that he really has a solution?"

Murong Xiu: "The incident about the canal last time was quite a big deal when people from several villages came to protest."

Murong Qian: "But if this canal can really be built, the road between us and Xiacheng will be more than doubled, and several county towns can also be connected to the waterway. The benefits are self-evident. I am a businessman with many minerals in Yancheng. , if it can shorten the journey for them, presumably the profit will be more.”

Murong Yan: "It's not as good as us. My daughter goes to Xiacheng to see how they deal with the obstacles in their normal canal construction process. If they succeed, we will also agree to repair the other half."

Murong Zhong: "So good."

But Murong Qian's father and son all understood that Murong Yan wanted to get closer to the water tower and get the moon first, and obviously wanted to get close to Sikong Jue.

Since it was Murong Yan who thought, they readily agreed.

Murong Yan was very happy, and at that moment, everyone came to the living room and said Si Kongjue's words just now.

Sikong Jue nodded: "That's it, I will go back tomorrow, survey several villages in Xiacheng that may need to be relocated as a whole, count the situation, make a good deal, and then discuss."

Xia Jinhua also said: "When we have solved all the difficulties, we will discuss with the city owner again."

"Very good. The construction of the canal is a major event between the two cities. I will follow you to Xiacheng and pay attention to the canal."

"I am going too!"

"I am going too!"

Murong Xiu and Murong Ge almost spoke in unison, afraid that their sister would suffer a big loss by going alone, and the two brothers came to **** them.

Murong Xiu said: "At this time, it involves a lot, and I, Yancheng, must participate in the whole process."

"Yes, Yancheng must supervise the whole process."

Sikong Jue also agreed and said, "That's very good."

The two parties had reached an agreement. The three Murong brothers and sisters accompanied Sikong Jue to Xiacheng to supervise the canal. Xia Jinhua also felt that they should be brought along.

That night, Xia Jinhua went to Yancheng to have a look. Sure enough, when he saw a lucky restaurant, he invited the three brothers and sisters from the City Lord's Mansion to have a meal.

It is true that Chinese friendship is built on the table, even on the scene.

On the second day, everyone set off for Xiacheng. A dozen people from Sikong Jue, plus twenty people from Yancheng, made up a total of forty people. While rushing to Xiacheng, they explored the nearby routes and put together the routes that had been formulated before. The route was compared with the route currently established, and the best route was selected after discussion.

Passing through the largest hillside, the terrain is undulating, and it is impossible to get around.

Xia Jinhua took note of these places one by one.

I went to see some places where bandits are rampant.

Murong Ge pointed to the road and said: "This place is full of mountains and deep forests where bandits are infested, and it is also an important road for land transportation. I don't know how many businessmen have been robbed. This mountain forest has passed, and there are several dens of bandits, and the caravan goes out from this dense forest. Often the loss is more than a little bit, and some even go bankrupt, and it is useless to douse it a few times."

Sitting on the carriage, Murong Yan also came out to see the forest and so on.

Xia Jinhua at least followed the crowd and asked the situation clearly: "How many bandits are there? How many bandits, can the second son know?"

The second son was Murong Ge, who usually was in charge of the defense of the city, and sometimes came out to destroy the bandits, he said: "There are not many bandits, the largest wave is estimated to have two or three hundred people, and the smallest is only a few dozen people. They are all nearby villagers who went up the hills and fell grass and are familiar with the terrain, so it is very difficult to eradicate them.”

When the canal was built last time, the city lord of Biancheng killed many people, and many villagers were driven away, forced to go up the mountain to become bandits, and deliberately took revenge on the society.

Xia Jinhua wrote down all these situations, and after a while, he wrote a letter, folded it, took out a whistle on his chest, and when he blew it toward the sky, he heard an eagle chirping in the sky.

"Chirp—"

An eagle landed on the back of Xia Jinhua's horse, Xia Jinhua put the letter for the eagle on the letter holder on his feet, and patted the eagle's head: "Hei, go early. Come back early."

That is the child of Si Gouzi, and now he has grown into a majestic eagle. Ah Hei seems to understand, spread his wings, straight up the sky, and flew towards Xiacheng.

Everyone looked up and saw two eagles circling in the sky. Murong Xiu sighed in admiration, "That's the last aura and the fastest three-flowered hunter and white-headed phoenix-"

Xia Jinhua also didn't know what breeds the four dogs and the little servant were. He only knew that there was a royal eagle that the royal family had chosen from thousands of choices. One was bought by the richest man in the Three Kingdoms. An excellent hawker training must not be too bad.

Xia Jinhua blew her whistle all the way, this time it was a different rhythm, different from calling the eagle just now, and after a while, she heard the wolf howling from the mountain.

"Ooooooooooooo-"

Murong Ge was shocked: "Listen to the voice, this wolf must not be an ordinary wolf, it must be a wolf king!"

After a while, five wolves jumped out of the forest. They were all fat and strong. They stood up with the height of Murong Yan's shoulders. They seemed to have just finished hunting. , Sikong Jue hurriedly shouted: "Don't be afraid, they are all domestic wolves."

The three siblings of the Murong family were once again stunned, how dare such a big wolf king dare to support him?

That is the five dogs in a family of wolves, with a full five heads. The gray wolf, the red wolf and the yellow wolf have now grown up and become adult wolves. In order to exercise their wildness, Xia Jinhua put them into the deep mountains. Sharpen it.

At this time, Wugouzi and Xiaowu worked together to drag a tiger out of the mountain and sent it to Xia Jinhua as if to take credit.

Xia Jinhua dismounted and patted Wugouzi's head in admiration: "Wugouzi is good."

Everyone almost fainted, that was a wolf, the wolf king who could swallow half of Xia Jinhua's body in one bite!

It just so happened that it was already evening, and everyone lit a fire to cook and eat.

Xia Jinhua instructed the gourd baby and the others to skin the tiger and eat it, and Murong Ge sent someone into the mountain to hunt some game, so he made do with it.

The wolves of the Wugouzi family were afraid of fire, so they hid far away and watched everyone in a circle. Xia Jinhua cooked the meat and sent some to them first. After rewarding them by touching their heads one by one, they returned to the fire. beside.

The three dogs came out, squatted on Sikongjue's shoulder to eat, and then jumped on Xia Jinhua's body. The three-headed eagle landed on Murong Yan's carriage and rested temporarily.

The crowd gathered around the fire to eat. Murong Xiu looked at Xia Jinhua and Sikong Jue, and suddenly realized: "Could it be that Xia Mushi is the descendant of the wolf-controlling clan on the far-away grassland?"

With the wolf clan!

Hearing this topic, Sikong Jue almost stood his ears up!

Xia Jinhua also hurriedly asked: "What is the wolf-controlling clan?"

Unexpectedly, Murong Xiu gave a stunned smile and asked, "Could it be that you don't know about Mr. Xia, I thought you should know."

Xia Jinhua was confused and looked at Sikongjue.

Sikong Jue's expression suddenly became gloomy, and seeing Xia Jinhua's curious eyes, he still talked about what happened before and after, and said, "The wolf-controlling clan is a large clan that used to be in Tanzhou. Wolves dance together, which is almost a combination of human and wolf, and won a seat in the martial arts. Before Wu'an was established, the ancestors of the Sikong family had entered the wolf-controlling family in Chanzhou to study art, learned the art of wolf-controlling, and married the patriarch The daughter, after completing her studies, entered Wu'an and became an official, step by step to the Ministry of War, but she violated the rules of the martial art, passed the wolf-controlling technique to outsiders, and trained a group of wolf troops. The wolf army killed people when the Tang Kingdom split Countless, the wolf-controlling clan was spurned by the martial arts, and they were exiled to the New Year's Day grassland, and they have since been removed from the martial arts.

Seeing Sikong Jue's tone lowered several times, he still felt uncomfortable at the thought of being touched by the dishonorable things about his ancestors.

Murong Xiu is a martial artist, so he still knows these secrets, "There is a statement in the group training of the wolf-controlling clan that the wolf-controlling technique cannot be used in war, and now that this training is broken, it should be punished by heaven and earth. "

Hearing this, Xia Jinhua couldn't help being silent, looking at Wugouzi, and at Sikong Jue's suddenly serious face.

Suddenly I remembered when Wugouzi first arrived in Naluo Village, the adults and children in the village were so frightened that even Xia Jinhua was afraid. He wanted to bite, but when he saw Sikong Jue, he was like a mouse seeing a cat.

At one time, Xia Jinhua thought that Sikongjue had a lot of murderous aura, and Wugouzi also knew how powerful this person was, so he was afraid, but now it seems that he has the bloodline of the so-called werewolf, so that's why he is like this?

Yama's wolves were also afraid of Sikong Jue. In the paddock, where Sikong Jue was, no other wolves dared to approach except Wugouzi.

Xia Jinhua was thinking about the serious question, but Sikongjue's expression turned colder and colder. The Murong family couldn't speak when they saw his expression.

Everyone ate in silence. After eating, they discussed about the canal. Today they looked at the mountain that blocked the road, and tomorrow they went to see the village that blocked the road to see if it could be solved.

After eating, everyone went to find a place to rest, Sikong Jue also wanted to rest, and entered Xia Jinhua's carriage, Xia Jinhua also entered, everyone was not surprised by this, the Murong family just thought they were discussing something. Not surprised either.

A candle was lit in the carriage, and Sikongjue lay down as soon as he entered, patted the seat next to him, and motioned Xia Jinhua to sit down. Said: "What happened to you?"

Sikong didn't say a word, but pointed to the corner of his lips and looked at Xia Jinhua, Xia Jinhua already understood what he meant - just kiss him.

Xia Jinhua shook his head and smiled, packed his briefcase, leaned over, kissed him on the lips, and lay down in his arms.

Only then did Sikong Jue say, "My ancestors did learn the secret technique of controlling the wolf, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. Before ascending the throne, every emperor received the key map of the treasure and the secret technique of harnessing the wolf."

He sighed: "It's just that the royal father did pass the secret technique to me, but I didn't have time to organize the wolf army, so it's already like this."

The two couples were talking when suddenly, there was chaos outside.

"Quick, quick, there are bandits!"
