Chapter 112 Good intentions to do bad things

The Qiao family returned to the main hall. There was a small square table in the center of the house, and four long benches were placed in front of the table. Feng Zhong followed the drawings provided by Long Xiang and found a new furniture made for himself by the carpenter.

A farmer's life with a few families does not need to follow the etiquette of wealthy families. It is very practical to use the Eight Immortals table to match a bench. Long Xiang recommended what he saw in the countryside when he was young to Feng Zhong to experience it.

Feng Zhong just introduced furniture, and the four of them quickly experienced sitting on the bench.

Sitting around the Eight Immortals Table, I didn't know what to say for a moment. At this time, there was no servant in the room, so naturally no one brought them water to quench their thirst.

Qiao Yichang first complained: "Mother, is Long Xiang a little too much? He lives alone in the Hou Mansion and brings us to a small place."

"I forgot again? Don't call him by his name if you say it." Chen frowned and shouted softly.

Qiao Yi hurriedly apologized: "The child was in a hurry just now. He gave this place a good place, but no one was there to serve him."

"Everyone should bear it first, and I will talk to him. Remember that this is Hefei, not the original Shouchun Bridge Mansion, don't think about doing whatever you want." Chen reminded in a deep voice.

"Oh." The three children responded in unison.

Chen was a little dry, so he told Qiao Yi: "Ji, go to Feng Zhong's house and ask him how to make a fire. I don't know if the water in the water tank is dry."

"I'll go?" Qiao Qi pointed at himself.

Chen asked back: "Your eldest sister, second sister is not married yet, so you can't show up everywhere. Could it be that you let me go?"

"Uh, I don't mean that, I'll ask right away"

Qiao Yichang did not have a minion to call him, and he was still a little uncomfortable for a while.

Feng Zhong delivered supper to Qiao's family, then walked out of Hefei No. 1 Courtyard and headed straight for Longxiang's Sima Mansion.

When I arrived at the place, I found that Long Xiang and others gathered together to eat soup cakes.

Tang Wang, who was the first to discover Feng Zhong, waved to him: "Old Feng, have you eaten?"

Feng Zhong nodded: "My family will eat this tonight."

"How is the Qiao family? Can you all adapt?" Long Xiang asked curiously.

Feng Zhong refused to comment and glanced at Cao Xing and said, "I didn't ask much. I heard that Yunqi was going to adjust the city defense in Hefei, so he just brought the soup cakes over and rushed here."

"Don't be so anxious"

Long Xiang responded softly and continued to use chopsticks to scoop the noodles.

Lu Su heard the unusualness, and he held the bowl and asked Long Xiang: "Does there be no servants in the Qiao family follow you? Why do you still have to send General Feng to deliver the meal?"

Long Xiang replied, "I asked Qiao Yizheng on the way. Those entourages were controlled by Li Tun. The Qiao family did not bring them out in order to escape. Naturally, no one was there to serve him when he arrived in Hefei."

"Not appropriate." Lu Su put the bowl on the table.

Seeing this, Long Xiang also put a bowl: "What's wrong?"

"The Qiao family lives in a large mansion in Shouchun and has servants to serve him. Now that he has gone to Hefei, there is nothing left. It is not appropriate to settle them in Hefei No. 1." Lu Su shook his beard and shook his head.

Long Xiang explained: "Uncle Zhong's house is the best in Hefei, and I can't even use the best hospitality?"

Lu Su waved his hand and explained: "We all know that it's good, but others may not appreciate it. The Qiao family is used to living in a high-gate courtyard. Now that they are asked to live in a small farmyard, there will definitely be a gap in their hearts. I suggest that they just clean up the chief clerk's house according to the original plan."

Long Xiang pinched his chin and sighed: "I thought they were crowded, so I asked Uncle Zhong to clean up and renovate the chief clerk's house. Later, when I saw that there were only four people, I thought No. 1, Hefei, was the most suitable one. It seemed that he was doing something bad with good intentions."

"There is no guard in Hefei No. 1, and I am worried that the Qiao family will not adapt. Since Mr. Zijing said so, I will ask someone to continue to renovate tomorrow, but it will take more than ten days for the chief clerk's house to complete the renovation, so they can only hold on for a while." Feng Zhong also agreed with Lu Su's opinion.

Long Xiang knocked on his forehead and looked at Lu Su and laughed at himself: "When the mansion is renovated, not only will they be equipped with guards, but do you also have to prepare servants? How many idle people will have to be raised in Hefei?"

Lu Su smiled and said, "I think if you should help others to the end, you should be worthy of servants. With Hefei's current tax income, it is not worth mentioning to raise only dozens of idle people."

Longxiang nodded solemnly: "You can do it as you think about it. Summer grain should be harvested soon. Many households have stored grain. I plan to start market trade in Hefei after the summer grain is harvested, and make small adjustments to the original system of only entering and not leaving, so that the goods outside can be circulated and the lives of the people will be enriched."

"It is a good thing to think about the people, but Hefei still has very few troops now. If it is thought of by major forces, it is inevitable that the baptism of war will be inevitable." Lu Su's face was solemn.

"Yes, yes, don't forget Zheng Bao." Tang Xu also stood up to remind him.

Long Xiang said confidently: "I have Xu Zhongkang and his tiger and wolf soldiers. It should be no problem to deal with Zheng Bao, at least there is no problem in defending the city. In addition, Yuan Shu is gone, and Hefei is located at the critical position of Jianghuai, so it is impossible to hide it deliberately."

Lu Su stroked his beard and said with a look of relief: "It seems that Yun Qi knows it. In the future, whether Sun Ce goes north to the Central Plains or the heroes of the Central Plains to the south to Jiangdong, Hefei has important strategic significance. Being self-confidence is like drinking poison to quench thirst. How do you plan to adjust it?"

Long Xiang thought for a while and said tentatively: "When Hefei opened the market, I also planned to build a posthouse so that the travelers and messengers who traveled to Hefei would rest, and it would also be convenient for us to manage it in a centralized manner. In addition, the original identity numbering system should continue to persist."

"It's great. Competing for the world is not only based on war, but reasonable diplomacy is very necessary. Yun Qi knows better than anyone else, and he also says he has no ambition?" Lu Su pointed at Long Xiang and joked.

Long Xiang smiled bitterly: "Zijing forgot what I said back then? It is easy to attract grudges forcing me to stand up. It is best to find a big tree to enjoy the cool air."

"I will count the princes in the world on the calendar. You have not expressed your intentions. There are not many big trees that can enjoy the cool air." Lu Suxu expressed his confusion with his eyes.

"Zijing, don't worry, big trees can not grow in one day. The Lord I hope may still be a sapling. It's not too late to wait patiently for a few years before talking, what do you think?"

Long Xiang did not give a direct answer, but instead used an example to tell the other party that he was just thinking about it now: go into the village quietly and shoot.

"Um."

Lu Su nodded slightly and thought to himself that you are really cautious. A typical example of not seeing a rabbit or not showing off an eagle. Maybe you want to wait until the situation is clearer and then prepare to take action? But the heroes in the world are not stupid, and there are relatively fewer opportunities to win late.

Then I thought about it and found that Long Xiang had a very low background, narrow vision, and pragmatic ideas.

Lu Su thought of staying for three years, and there was no need to change Longxiong's idea.

After several people finished eating the soup cake, the topic changed to summer harvest.

Due to the increase in population in Hefei City, some of the new fields that were reclaimed in the first half of the year were less than those along the river areas, so the rice yield was uneven.

There are no landlords in Hefei at this time, and families with poor harvests will be unbalanced. As the saying goes, there are no worries but unevenness. Managers must find ways to guide them.
