Chapter 426 Who dares to marry her? (Please subscribe!)

What does Mao Buyi do at home?

Zhang Twelve really didn't know.

After all, he doesn't chase stars, he just heard such a song by accident, so he made up a casual way: "My old friend's family was poor, and then his family suffered a disaster, and he went to other places to join relatives, so he hasn't seen him for several years. It's..."

"oh, I see……"

Zhao Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, if he really had something to do with that person, it would be really difficult for him to turn against him in the future.

"Then it seems that Zhao and Brother Tang are not talking about the same person. The brother Mao Buyi I am talking about is the head of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, and the son of the former Mao Xue Song Mao University scholar!"

As a leader in Jinling literati circles, Zhao Qingfeng and Mao Buyi are brothers on the surface, but they still don't like Mao Buyi very much in their hearts. To be honest, he didn't like Mao Buyi very much in his heart.

Just like now, even though they don't like Mao Buyi, they still want to pull him out to prove that their "Four Great Talents in the South of the Yangtze River" didn't rely on money to get to the top. The more times they do this, the more disgusted Mao Buyi is...

"It turns out that he is the son of a scholar of Mao University! Then the name of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River seems to be well-deserved!"

Zhang Twelve really has a relationship with this guy, because the house Zhang Twelve lived in Jingzhou is this guy's hometown.

Zhao Qingfeng smiled embarrassingly, a little embarrassed, proving once again that Mao Buyi's name is much louder than him.

After talking about this, Zhao Qingfeng chatted with Zhang Twelve a lot, and the relationship was gradually drawn closer. This was Zhao Qingfeng's deliberate effort. If he wanted to get close to that woman, he had to start with her brother!

Zhang Twelve didn't shirk, he deliberately showed his favor, and he continued because he had his own purpose.

Seeing that the relationship is almost done, Zhang Twelve changed the subject and said, "Is Zhao's grain farm in Brother Feng's family really the largest grain farm in Jinling?"

Hearing this, Zhao Qingfeng smiled "hehe", feeling very proud, this is the pride he lives on, since he asked this, of course he wanted to brag: "Brother Tang is only half right, the Zhao family The grain farm is not only the largest grain farm in Jinling, but also the largest grain farm in Datang!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Qingfeng glanced at the crowd, his face was full of complacency.

"Wow! Brother Feng's family background is really prominent, I admire you!"

When the flattery was slapped on the face, Zhao Qingfeng was naturally overjoyed and not humble, so he kept nodding.

"I just heard that the current Zhaojia Liangzhuang is also short of food, right? Hey, the small grain villages in Jingzhou are full of stocks. It is unbelievable that a grain farm as big as the Zhaojia Liangzhuang will be short of food. ..."

Zhang Twelve looked regretful, as if the lack of food in Zhaojialiangzhuang was a particularly embarrassing thing.

When Zhao Qingfeng heard it, his face turned red instantly. According to him, Zhao's grain farm can't compare to a small grain farm in Jingzhou?
How can it be!

"Brother Tang, who are you listening to nonsense? Why is our Zhao family village short of food?"

"Oh? Is there no shortage of food?"

Zhang Twelve's eyes lit up, and he asked immediately.

"This……"

Zhao Qingfeng froze suddenly.

The cause of the southern refugee rebellion this time was that their four major grain farms raised prices at the same time, and the reason for the price increase was that there was no grain in the grain farms, so even if the imperial government was dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do about them.

Why, I'm out of food, can you still let me give it away for nothing?
The fact that there is still food in the Liangzhuang Village can't be said to the outside world, but Zhao Qingfeng was only concerned about face just now, and he forgot about it all at once, and only after he said it did he become afraid.

"Hehe, Brother Tang, don't mention this, don't mention this!"

Zhao Qingfeng smiled awkwardly.

Zhang Twelve sneered in his heart, and didn't intend to continue asking, because he had already confirmed that the collective price increase of the four major grain farms in Jinling this time was not due to lack of grain. How could the four such large grain farms suddenly be short of grain?

It's just that he's even more curious, why are they making such a fuss when there's no shortage of food?

But it's not suitable to ask now, because this guy is obviously already a little alert, so Zhang Twelve just smiled and didn't say any more.

At this time, other people in the hall were more interested in Zhao Qingfeng and his family's Zhaojia Liangzhuang.

"Master Zhao, has the food price in the south increased too much this time?"

One of the southerners asked.

"A lot? Not a lot!"

Zhao Qingfeng said it easily, but everyone else felt contempt in their hearts: Isn't that much?How dare you say it!
But they didn't dare to say that, they still smiled foolishly, waiting for Zhao Qingfeng's next words.

"Everyone knows that last year, the south was hit by floods before harvesting rice, which resulted in no harvest for the farmers. Naturally, our grain farms could not receive any grain! When we harvested the grain the year before last, in order to take care of the farmers, we spent twice as much as usual. What’s the matter, they are satisfied with more money, but now our grain village is short of grain, and they are not satisfied with the price of grain rising a little? What’s the reason!”

Zhao Qingfeng still looked angry as he spoke, as if they had been wronged so much!
Food prices go up a little?
You have not only increased a little, but a little!

"Mr. Zhao, it is said that your such a large grain farm should have a lot of grain in storage, why is there a sudden shortage of grain?"

Another person asked, and other people were also very curious about this question. After all, such a big grain farm, why does it store a lot of grain?Why did it suddenly disappear, and all the grain farms disappeared together!
It's really strange!

"Hehe, you don't know anything about this!"

Zhao Qingfeng was not flustered, paused for a moment and then said: "The Liangzhuang used to have some real grain, but the year before last we collected grain at a high price, and the dealer was happy, but our Liangzhuang didn't have much silver left. It’s harvest time, so we plan to sell the old grain and use the money we earn to collect new grain! But, hey..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Qingfeng sighed heavily, and then said: "But who would have expected that when the old grain was sold and the new grain was ripe, there would be a sudden flood—this is a natural disaster! !"

After listening to him, many people nodded. According to what he said, there seemed to be nothing wrong with him, after all, he also had difficulties.

But Zhang Twelve didn't think so anymore, he sneered in his heart, it seems that you are also a good showman!
"Young Master Zhao, I heard that the wave of refugees will arrive at Jinling in less than ten days. Isn't Jinling City very dangerous?"

The person who asked this question was a northerner, maybe he was going to Jinling for some business, but he couldn't help being a little scared when he heard that there was a wave of refugees.

"Hehe, don't worry about that!"

Zhao Qingfeng said confidently: "The refugee population is naturally for food. Now that there is a shortage of food, it is natural that the state government does not act, so even if they arrive in Jinling, they will still find trouble with the prefect. If the prefect handles it properly, the refugee population will naturally will disappear!"

Hearing this, Zhang Twelve narrowed his eyes, why did he listen to what this guy said, the homeless people seemed to belong to his family, and they could do whatever they asked?
"Brother Feng, how can you be so clear about the movement of the homeless people? Could it be that you still know the people in the homeless people? It's really amazing, I admire you!"

Zhang Twelve even boasted and deceived.

"Hehe, of course Zhao admits—"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Qingfeng quickly stopped, and at the same time, his face was covered with cold sweat, how did he say this?

"Brother Tang was joking, how did Mr. Zhao know those refugees?"

Zhao Qingfeng's behavior just now has already betrayed his truest thoughts. If he said he didn't know the refugees, who would believe him?

However, how could he, a master of the family, know the refugees who came from other places?

Could it be that this homeless rebellion was manipulated from the very beginning?

Thinking of this, Zhang Twelve's thoughts gradually became clear. It seems that this matter is not as simple as imagined!

If they really control the homeless flow, what is their purpose?

Prefect?

Zhang Twelve suddenly remembered what Zhao Qingfeng said just now that the final destination of those refugees was the magistrate, and immediately asked with a curious expression on his face, "Brother Feng, did this wave of refugees start because they couldn't fill their stomachs? They Why don't you go to Liangzhuang, and choose to go to Zhifu—the Zhifu has no food!"

"Ha ha……"

Zhao Qingfeng sneered: "If you don't go to the magistrate, where are you going to make trouble? Why does the grain farm increase the price? It's not that the magistrate collects taxes every day. If the grain farm sells grain at the original price, let alone making money, it will be good if it doesn't pay!"

"Oh? Isn't this tax stipulated by the court? Does the magistrate still dare to collect taxes arbitrarily?"

"This... Anyway, it's too much taxation!"

When talking about this, Zhao Qingfeng looked dissatisfied.

"........."

Hearing what Zhao Qingfeng said, the thread in Zhang Twelve's mind gradually became clear. This time the homeless rebellion was definitely not caused simply by lack of food!
It seems that this is an organized and premeditated refugee rebellion!It's a bit tricky, but fortunately I know this guy, I have to make good use of him in the future!
I've asked enough questions today, and Zhang Twelve doesn't intend to continue asking. It would be bad if this guy was alerted!
…………

Instead of talking about the homeless people, Zhao Qingfeng felt that there were many topics to talk to Zhang Twelve—and these topics naturally revolved around Zhang Twelve's younger sister—Princess Yilan.

Zhang Twelve, who makes a living by fooling around, can naturally deal with matters such as the age of his sister and whether he is married or not.

Hearing the information revealed by Zhang Twelve, Zhao Qingfeng was very happy, and euphemistically expressed his admiration for Princess Yilan.

Zhang Twelve sneered in his heart when he heard this, and thought: You are really a toad who wants to eat swan meat!

However, he said with a smile on his mouth: "Oh, brother Feng! My sister's marriage is naturally not something that my elder brother can control! Our family has always been very open-minded, and my sister's choice of a son-in-law depends on herself Already!"

Hearing this, Zhao Qingfeng's expression was a bit ugly, Zhang Twelve immediately laughed again: "But if brother Feng really has feelings for my sister, I think the chance is great!"

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Zhao Qingfeng immediately became interested and hurriedly asked.

"Because the next family has stayed in a small place like Liangzhou for a long time, and I know my sister's temperament very well! Because Liangzhou is far away and there are few literati, my sister has always admired talents since she was a child! Therefore When I saw Hou Junting, I admired Mr. Hou very much, and brother Feng may be as talented as Mr. Hou, if my sister can know, she will definitely like him a lot!"

Hearing this, Zhao Qingfeng was elated!

What does it mean "the talent and learning may be comparable to Mr. Hou"?
I don't know how much higher than him in terms of family background and talent, okay?
Zhao Qingfeng thought so, and smiled at the same time: "Then I hope Brother Tang can speak more kind words for Zhao in front of Lingmei. When we arrive in Jinling, Zhao will definitely show his kindness as a landlord!"

"Good talk, good talk!"

Zhang Twelve also said with a cheerful smile: "Brother Feng, I'm not afraid of your jokes. When I see you next time, I will feel astonished as a heavenly being. You are much better than that Mr. Hou! And if possible, have Brother Feng as my brother-in-law." , I’m afraid I can wake up laughing from a dream!”

"........."

I have to say, this flattery was just right, and Zhao Qingfeng didn't even know how to do it!

When the rest of the people saw this scene, some were envious, some were jealous, and some deeply despised Zhang Twelve—this guy changed his attitude after learning about Zhao Qingfeng's family background. A typical example of giving away a sister!

This kind of person is simply a disgrace!

But Zhang Twelve doesn't care what others think, he already has his own calculations, and inadvertently, he has put together two of the "Four Great Talents in Jiangnan" who were originally well-connected, and the gap is also there. Keep increasing...

"Brother Tang, after seeing Lingmei, I really felt love at first sight, so thank you Brother Tang for your kind words!"

Zhao Qingfeng cupped his hands to Zhang Twelve, and then said worriedly: "It's just the maid next to Lingmei...Although Zhao wanted to say a few words to Lingmei, he was afraid that the maid would obstruct her. I don't know if Brother Tang has any good ideas. ?”

Hearing what he said, Zhang Twelve snickered in his heart. It seems that Mo Li is quite useful!
So he said helplessly to Zhao Qingfeng: "Brother Feng's distress, I feel the deepest!"

With a long sigh, he said, "Brother Tang doesn't know something. Although this servant girl is named servant girl, she is just like a young lady in our family! Because she grew up in my family, and her parents treated her as her own, so she was cultivated. Her domineering character!"

"Does she dare not listen to brother Tang's words?"

Zhao Qingfeng asked curiously.

"This statement is very true!"

Zhang Twelve, who is even better than Zhao Qingfeng, is online now!
"Brother Feng also saw that, although the maid has a good skin, she has a violent personality, because she is thick and thick, and she has practiced kung fu for a few days since she was a child, so even if she is my servant, she has beaten her many times! "

After saying this, Zhao Qingfeng and everyone around him stopped talking, and their expressions were a little frightened.

Zhang Twelve was very satisfied when he saw it, and complained half-truthfully about Mo Li: "Hey, after so many years, I have had enough of these rough maids! I wanted to find her a husband for a long time, but she She is notorious, who dares to marry her?"
