Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 554;

Chapter 550 six; rewards are also different
At the east gate of Chang'an City, there was a lot of people coming and going. Five or six horses quickly ushered in the east direction. When they arrived at the gate, they got off their horses, paid the city entrance tax, and entered the city.

This is the people from the second house of the Li family in Lijiazhuang from Lantian County. The chief steward, Ma Binwang, led a group of his men into the city to go to the mansion of General Qin.

Yesterday in Chang'an City, a member of Li's Second Household family went back to communicate, and ordered the chief steward, Ma Zhou, to enter Chang'an City to obey orders.

King Ma Bin was full of energy and led his subordinates to report to the General's Mansion. He went straight to the courtyard of the Li family leader, and was led into the main hall by the waiting guards.

"I have met you, my lord, and my lord is blessed and safe."

"Prince Bin is here, come and sit down and talk, come here! Serve tea."

"promise."

King Ma Bin, who had just sat down, saw that the patriarch was still standing, and immediately stood up again, Li Yu waved his hand;
"You sit in your seat. I feel sleepy recently and don't want to sit. You don't mind me."

"It's Mr. Lang."

"This is Ah Niu, Ah Gui. I studied the landforms of mountains and rivers in Uncle Cheng's camp before. I just came back from the camp yesterday. You are very familiar with each other. They are the leaders of your guards on the Silk Road."

King Ma Bin nodded and stood up politely;

"You two virtuous brothers, Brother Yu is being polite here."

Ah Niu is an honest person and quickly bent down to return the salute, Zeng Gui couldn't help but smile, his dark face was full of smiles;

"Brother, you are too polite, but I don't dare to be a little brother, I don't dare to be a little brother, I am being polite here."

Li Yu has been recuperating in the house for nine days. In fact, the whip injury has basically healed on the seventh day, but the buttocks still dare not sit for a long time, because they are restricted from going out of the house for ten days. Li Yu has no choice but to worry. walk around the house;
"Da Niu Agui, the Silk Road must be kept in mind. Everything is dominated by King Bin. You two lead a team to guard the side. If you have something to do, you can give King Bin more advice, but you can't do it indiscriminately. Don't ruin Lord Hou. My big deal."

Daniel still obediently agreed;

"It's Mr. Lang."

Zeng Gui walked around behind Li Yu's butt with a hippie smile;

"Don't worry, the villain knows that the overall situation is the most important thing, and won't add to the chaos. Daniel and I have been studying in the camp for more than a month. You don't know, sir. Now we can travel thousands of miles in the southeast, northwest, and north. It was amazing to find it back!"

"Heh! You've grown up, and you still say that the overall situation is the most important thing. It's not bad. It's not in vain for a month."

"That's right, Mr. Lang, you don't know that the villain can slip away when he speaks now."

"Stop it, you talk a lot, I think you talk more after you went to your uncle to learn, to be serious, I heard that the barbarians on the grassland respect the strong, whoever has the biggest fist is the king, go around There are people blocking the road to rob, I am afraid it will not go smoothly.

You can't lose the face of Lord Hou when you go here. You will inevitably provoke the jealousy of those prairie people with many carts of silk and iron pots. Originally, the intention of the court was to ask us to do business in peace, and it would be fine if we opened up the Silk Road. A big contribution, but that's some useless thinking in the court. I don't think so, Lord Hou. If you dare to bully me, just kill Wushe, remember not! "

When Li Yu talked about killing Wushe, he gestured with one hand and hacked around like an Ultraman...

"Remember Mr. Lang, whoever dares to steal our things, I, Niu Da, will never bypass his grandson."

Li Yu was very pleased to see the simple and honest Daniel, and walked over to pat Daniel on the shoulder;

"Of course the nobles on the prairie will not come to rob merchants stupidly. That's called self-destruction. No merchant will dare to go after the reputation is spread. At that time, they won't be able to eat salt, and they will become weak and waste a lot of shit?

Those who dare to come out to rob must be some idiots. When you meet these idiots, you don’t need to reason with them. Just hack them to death and talk about other things. Let me let go of the fight and let people see that my Longxi Li family is not easy to bully! "

Daniu stayed in the barracks for a month as if he was a different person, and his face flushed with excitement when he heard that he let go of the means to fight;
"It's Mr. Lang!"

"Well, you're doing great, I'll reward you with a roast chicken for lunch today."

Daniel still had a simple and honest smile on his face, but he was much happier when he heard about eating roast chicken;

"Thank you sir."

After praising Da Niu, Li Yu turned around and continued to wander around the room. A Gui, who was behind his buttocks, couldn't dodge in time, and Li Yu bumped into A Gui's chest head-on;
"Come on, you big man, what are you doing with your hippie smile?"

Agui hurried away and followed Li Yu anxiously;

"Lang Jun, Daniel eats roast chicken, look at what happened to the villain at noon..."

"Just now I said that we met barbarians blocking the road and robbing us, why didn't you speak up? Are you afraid?"

Agui's mind has long been on the roast chicken, and he is too anxious;

"My lord, how can villains be afraid of them? If you dare to rob us, I'll kill a bunch of them, and don't even try to run away. Even the horses belong to our Li family. Look, lord... What about the roast chicken?"

"That's what's going on, okay, okay!! You also have roast chicken at noon."

When he heard that he also had roast chicken for lunch, Ah Gui couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear;
"Okay! Thank you, sir, for the reward, haha!"

King Ma Bin looked at the two strong men who looked like iron towers. Both of them were taller and mightier than him, with broad shoulders and thick backs that were a circle and a half bigger than him. It's cold, but these two people are wearing single clothes, and they are not afraid of getting the wind and cold with their chests exposed?
Looking at the two bodies and the exposed flesh, and listening to the excited red faces of the two when they talked about murder and arson, Ma Binwang was terrified when he looked at it!
If any of these two guys punched him twice, he would probably vomit blood and get injured. I also heard from the clansmen in Zhuangzi that these two people were the two families that Hou Ye took back when he was in prison. One of them can eat a large pot of white rice in one meal, and it is a blessing that he did not starve to death before meeting Lord Hou with such a large amount of food.

King Ma Bin felt that no matter how hard these two could fight... After all, they were on other people's territory, so it was better to send as many troops as possible.

"I want to report to you sir, no matter how big Niu Agui can fight, he will be defeated with two fists and four hands. I wonder how many guards you will arrange to accompany him this time?"

Li Yu frowned as King Ma Bin asked the question;

"Well, what King Bin said makes sense, although my two generals can come and go among thousands of armies..."

Before Li Yu finished speaking, the big cow next to him pinched his waist with both hands, and felt that he could not show his ability to come and go in a thousand armies, so he hurriedly beat his chest with his right hand, making a loud bang!
Agui hurried over and bent down to explain with a serious face;

"I want to report to you, General Cheng has asked someone to teach us both the skills of iron spears, and taught us some fighting skills in the army. He also inspected our abilities in the school grounds. Even General Cheng It is said that if we have the weapons we have in our hands, we can join forces to fight among hundreds of thousands of armies, sir, you only say ten thousand armies... isn't that a bit too small..."

Li Yu turned his head and gave A Gui a white look;
"What's missing? I don't think it's a lot at all. One hundred thousand troops surrounded you two, and they exhausted you to death. Why are you still fighting? What others say is to praise you for being obedient, how can it be taken as true? Listen? By the way, where did I say it? I forgot again!"

Agui hurried over;
"I want to report to you, sir, just now you said that Daniel and I can come and go among thousands of troops, right Daniel?"

"Yes! That's it!"

Li Yu also pinched his waist with both hands like a big cow;
"Don't interrupt."

"only!"

"It's Mr. Lang."

"Although my two generals are brave and good at fighting, what King Bin said is also reasonable. No matter how powerful a general is, he must be mobilized by soldiers to be more powerful. Besides, if there are fewer, he can't restrain some young people. How about it? This time, we will take the Silk Road again. Not to mention the followers of other families, our Li family’s second room will take out three thousand strong men, wearing Li’s own iron guns, five hundred women will follow to cook, and by the way, we will change cattle and sheep to drive. Sheep and cattle."

King Ma Bin felt very relieved when he heard this, but he was still in a cold sweat from fright. The guy is really rich and powerful, and he is a strong man with three thousand hands. Is this for business or war?
There are hundreds of other teams, what if each has dozens of people?This caravan probably has 6000 or [-] people?Can you pass easily on the grassland?
Seeing that King Ma Bin didn't speak, and didn't agree with his decision, Li Yu couldn't help asking;

"What do you think of my arrangement, King Bin?"

"Ugh! It's great to go back to Mr. Lang, but I think that if we add other people's teams to our business...there will be too many people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move an inch on the grassland?"

"It doesn't matter, the two of them have to listen to you for the overall decision-making, but you have to listen to the two idiots when you arrive on the grassland, Bin Wang, otherwise it will be absolutely impossible. As long as you listen to them on the grassland, I guarantee that you will be able to do it on the grassland." Unimpeded."

"Lang Jun, what do you mean by stupid versus stupid?
"Not bad! You can turn your head fast enough. It's not good for the Han people to be too smart. It's okay once. It's okay for the grassland people to suffer from being dumb. But no one is a fool. After the past, you have to calculate it in your heart.

It's different for the two of them to be the masters of the house, honest to kind, straightforward to honest, so this job is definitely theirs, and they can come and go with the two of them in the caravan, if they send capable people to play smart?It was a one-shot deal, and if it didn't work out, the barbarians on the grassland would unite and kill the team. "

The big cow next to him kept nodding, and Agui saw that his husband stopped talking and quickly interrupted;
"That's that, sir, don't worry, let's be kind, and exchange the two iron pots for one sheep as you ordered, and give them a nod if they buy too much. This is just right for the two of us." Appropriate, not a petty bragging, another person may not be able to handle it well."

Li Yu looked at Agui's bullish look, and couldn't help but sneer;
"I said you are fat and you are still panting. Let me ask you, two iron pots for one sheep, how many sheep can be exchanged for 33 iron pots?"

"Ah? This... Don't worry, sir, the villain will be fine right away..."

As soon as Agui saw that he was about to test himself, he immediately stretched out two hands and began to calculate carefully, while Daniel was beside him, lowering his head and trying to check his fingers.

Of course, Li Yu's own follower couldn't be more clear in his heart, knowing that they couldn't figure it out, so he didn't bother to talk to them, humming a little song, walked to the front of the Eight Immortals table and picked up a tea bowl to drink water.

Seeing the two well-known idiots in Chang'an City have been checking their fingers, and they haven't figured it out for a long time, many beads of sweat involuntarily appeared on Ma Binwang's forehead...

God!After all, Lord Hou is still a child at heart, and such a huge business is handed over to these two idiots who count with their fingers to be the masters of the house?Go to the prairie and tell yourself to listen to the two of them?Don't lose a lot of silk!

After doing the math for a long time, Ah Gui still felt that something was wrong and couldn't help but raise his head to ask;
"Sir, let's exchange two iron pots for one sheep. The three you mentioned here is an odd number, so it's not easy to make a deal. Is this deal going to work?"

Daniu also felt that something was wrong and quickly nodded in agreement. King Ma Bin shook his head helplessly after hearing this, and Li Yu said casually;
"That one three is an odd number, isn't the sum of 33 and two threes an even number? Why can't it be counted? You didn't do the math mentally, did you?"

"Oh yes! Yes, yes, yes, I will do the math again, sir, one, two, three, four, five, six, alas, what you said is really true, it is really an even number hahahaha!"

The six maids on duty in the main hall are literate and illiterate, but they all check the numbers. How can 33 be an even number?It was obvious that the patriarch was teasing these two idiots, but this Agui couldn't help laughing, what an idiot, ah no!is two!
A group of maids lowered their heads and did not dare to laugh out loud, and Ma Binwang's words were not decisive, so he just closed his eyes and sat quietly without saying a word!

A Gui counted carefully with both hands for a long time before wiping the sweat off his head with his cuffs;

"Qi reports to your subordinates, sir!"

Ma Binwang next to him opened his eyes and waited for the answer as soon as he heard the calculation, and Li Yu responded casually;
"Oh? Then tell me how many sheep can be exchanged for 33 iron pots?"

"Reporting to my lord, my subordinates are lucky enough to get eleven sheep back in exchange."

As soon as Zeng Gui said the answer, Ma Binwang's head began to sweat again. The maids in the main hall lowered their heads and endured very hard. Both Tanchun and Xichun endured the trembling...

Li Yu looked at Da Niu who finally found out his fingers;
"Daniu, how many sheep are you counting?"

Daniel was obviously not sure about the number he had calculated, and whispered back;
"Back to my lord, the villain counts... twelve."

Li Yu hasn't spoken yet, Agui next to him has a horrible expression;

"You idiot, how can you count as twelve? Mr. Lang clearly gave us 33 iron pots, how did you count? I think you should listen to me if you go to the prairie, or you will be like this It’s not okay to do business, the grassland people will definitely regard you as a liar.”

Daniel responded to Zeng Gui with a guilty conscience;

"I was thinking, Mr. Lang gave 33 iron pots, wouldn't the twelve sheep here also add up to three? You know I don't know how to do this, how can I have your brain, and it will definitely be I have to listen to you, Agui."

"That's all right, I don't count on you anyway, how can I do the calculations like this? Mr. Lang gave you an iron pot with odd numbers on both ends. The sheep we exchanged should have odd numbers on both ends. Look at what I calculated. , Eleven sheep, just happen to be odd numbers on both sides, right..."

"That's right, Agui, you are smart, no wonder I, Aye, always let me listen to your words to enjoy happiness..."

"That's right, follow my brother and I'll guarantee you to eat and drink to stay alive!"

Li Yu glared at the six maids who were giggling in the main hall, then turned to look at King Ma Bin;
"Look, King Bin, Ah Gui is doing a good job. This deal is guaranteed to be done, and it's not guaranteed to be replaced by someone else!"

What a smart person Ma Binwang suddenly realized, he kept nodding his head;
"That's right, brother Agui is indeed quite powerful, and he just happens to take on a big responsibility."

Zeng Agui is a guy who eats soft but not hard. Hearing that the head of the family and the chief steward praised him, he would not go away laughing, so he hurried over to salute and thank them;

"Thank you, Mr. Lang, for your compliment, thank you for your compliment, thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Li Yu shrugged and said;
"Okay, I asked Bin Wang to take this trip today. The main reason is that I can't go back to Lantian recently, so I can only excuse the big steward."

"Don't hesitate to work hard, the patriarch is not polite, there is a life, but please order it."

"Okay, the three of you are the leaders of the Silk Road this time. You can discuss the specific arrangements. Remember that you are the master of things outside the grassland, King Bin, and you are in charge of things on the grassland. You have opened up the Silk Road. Lu, you are the heroes of the Han people, Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty, and you will be recorded in the annals of history."

"Patriarch, don't worry, King Bin will risk his life to open up the Silk Road!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Zeng, I, Agui Zeng, will definitely fight a bloody way for Mr. Lang!"

"Qi, sir, I think the same as Agui!"

"Okay! The three of you are in charge of important matters. The Marquis feels at ease. The master of Gongshu has already calculated the date. Sishi will be auspicious in three days. I have already reported to the uncles yesterday that all the caravans are in Lantian. The northwest is waiting for you, when the time comes, you can just set off with the caravan."

"It's the patriarch."

"It's Mr. Lang."

Li Yu put down the tea bowl and ordered;
"People!"

Liang boldly stepped in at the door;

"He's here! Sir, please give me instructions."

"At the auspicious time in three days, you are bold enough to take someone to Qinghe personally, and bring the family members of Ma University's management to enjoy the blessings in the house I told Li Yi to buy in Chang'an City. Don't neglect it!"

"It's Mr. Lang."

After Li Yu finished explaining, he walked up to Ma Binwang, took Ma Binwang's hand and said solemnly;
"Prince Bin, the Marquis doesn't know what to do for you. It just so happens that you have no place to stay in Chang'an City, so I arranged for someone to buy you a house. Although it is not big, it is enough to accommodate a family of 20 people. I have asked someone to put the contract in the house, and it will be in their hands when your family members pick it up. You can go to business with peace of mind. Don’t think that this Marquis does not take your affairs seriously. This Marquis has always given You are thinking about it."

King Ma Bin, who has tasted the heat and cold and the heat of the situation, really did not expect that good luck would come one after another. He would never dare to think of a house in Chang'an City in his next life. King Ma Bin held back his tears and took three steps back, carefully tidying up his silk and satin clothes. Clothes, bowed deeply, and the etiquette is meticulous;
"I dare not thank you for your great kindness, King Bin will always remember it in his heart."

Li Yu helped Ma Binwang up with a slight smile, then turned to look at Agui and Daniel;
"Tanchun."

"The servant is here."

"Confession, Agui and Daniu will take on the important task. Each family will reward [-] pieces of silver, ten bolts of cloth, two carts of grain, and two carts of corn."

"It's Mr. Lang, and this servant is going to pass on orders."

Watching the maid go out to pass orders, Daniel and Agui couldn't keep their mouths closed, they don't care about the house in Chang'an City!

It seems that it is different after entering the household registration of the Li family. This man surnamed Ma is still a big manager. He didn't even get the usual reward of money. The patriarch didn't even give him a stone of corn. What a poor man!
Daniu secretly shook his head, he felt that this steward Ma was not very popular with the gentleman!What about the business of the boss of the Silk Road;

"Hey...at least it would be nice to reward him with two or three bolts of cloth for the occasion!"

Hearing that many rewards were received, Zeng Agui's mouth was split to the side of his ears;

"Good guy, my husband is generous, no wonder he is called the God of Wealth, this is twenty guan of silver! A whole twenty guan of silver! God's reward is really scary, oh yes! There are four carts of food ...

Da Niu and Agui happily came up to salute and thank you. They were ten times more excited than Ma Binwang. Ma Binwang was very embarrassed to see that the same three people were in charge of this transaction, and they got a great reward. For a moment, those of these two people... are too shabby...

Li Yu smiled and said;

"Recently, the Marquis is ill. I won't be sending you off in three days. I have ordered thirteen tables of meat and vegetables to be prepared for today's lunch. Our Li family only needs people from Chang'an City to eat and drink together today." , even if it is practiced for you, I wish you immediate success."

"Xie Patriarch."
