Chapter 413: Yuan Tan Has Bad Intentions
Yan Liang, Wen Chou, etc. are the four court pillars in Hebei.
Tian Fengju taught such Hebei ghosts.
It's true that you can't eat until you eat, and you can't sit if you sit.
Already started nibbling on the watermelon rind.
The three sons shared the most.
Eating is also very happy,
While eating, Yuan Xi looked towards the neighbor, "Brother, it's delicious, why don't you eat it?"
Yuan Tan rubbed his belly and ate a lot before coming here. Although he lost his mind while riding the horse, he was not too interested.
Hearing this, he picked it up and took a sip.
Yuan Shang was in the next door, happy in his heart, and whispered to Yuan Xi: "Second brother, in the fief of eldest brother, the output is not enough for the people to eat. This elder brother is worried in his heart, he is unwilling to eat, and can't get motivated to eat anything. , we have to understand him."
Yuan Xi was taken aback for a moment, and immediately nodded, "This statement is true, and I don't know how long my brother can hold on."
"Hehe, I'm afraid that when other people's food is in the warehouse, it will be the time of famine in Quzhou. It will be even more embarrassing if the eldest brother wants to change the fief at that time." Yuan Shang said here, and took a bite of the watermelon. so sweet.
At this moment, Tian Feng took two bites and suddenly asked: "Prime Minister, what do you call this?"
"Watermelon." Yuan Shao said proudly, stroking his beard.
After Tian Feng's heart was shocked, he was puzzled, with question marks all over his head.
He recalled that the Eldest Young Master said to go to Quzhou to grow fruit, isn't it called watermelon?
At that time, Yuan Tan said that the specially selected sandy land was considered by everyone to be a scapegoat for the overall mistakes of the Yuan family, so as not to be ridiculed by the world.
Because the base of what was said at the time was too large, it was believed that Yuan Tan was a temporary repost or made it up.
Looking back now, looking at the watermelon in my hand, I felt cold and shivered for a while.
He raised his eyes and found that Yuan Shao still didn't mention the watermelon and the eldest son, and said, "Prime Minister, have you forgotten about the watermelon?"
"What do you mean?" Yuan Shao was taken aback, and stopped touching his beard.
Sure enough, I forgot.
Tian Feng hurriedly said: "The eldest son said three months ago that he specially wanted sandy land to grow watermelons."
"Huh?" Yuan Shao was taken aback for another moment, then his face suddenly turned pale.
At the beginning, he also thought it was compiled by Yuan Tan. He may still remember growing fruit, but he has long forgotten the word watermelon.
Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were eating melons, hearing this, they looked at each other.
The eyes are round, and the face is gradually purple.
What the hell, big brother's watermelon!
puff~
A pile of watermelon seeds with red flesh and water in his mouth sprayed out from the sky, landing on each other's heads and faces.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Two people coughed immediately after.
It seemed that she was more than just frightened, and she was really frightened.
Yuan Tan raised his sleeves to block the aftermath, with a disgusted expression on his face, "You two brothers, how can you be so vulgar, you have no bearing at all, like a villager in the mountains."
"Yes, yes, yes." Yuan Xi apologized repeatedly, wiping his face.
Feeling that no matter what happens, his big brother will always be his big brother, it's more than a little too powerful.
The sandy land grows watermelons, which are so delicious and sell so hotly, comparable to pumpkins.
Completely convinced.
"Brother's lesson is..." Yuan Shang wanted to cry but had no tears.
I didn't expect my elder brother Sha Tudi to be able to come up with such tricks.
You must know that when he learned about the sandy land, his heart was like drinking honey.
Looking at the watermelon in my hand now, it doesn't taste good at all, so what's the difference if it's more poisonous?
At that time, Yuan Tan said that he chose the sandy land on purpose. He laughed out loud. Even a fool knows not to use sandy land. He knocked out the tooth and swallowed it in his stomach, and he was talking about his big brother.
Only now do I know that they really chose the sandy land on purpose to grow this kind of gourd.
If the sandy land is in the hands of his eldest brother, it will become a treasure land of geomantic omen for making a fortune.
Yuan Shang remembered the cynicism at the beginning, and asked when the result would be.
Now it's over, and he's been over.
This face is hot.
The key point is that I was so happy to eat just now that I almost want to die.
How hard is it,
Only then can he truly control his elder brother.
It was simply out of control.
"There's still a watermelon seed on the nose." Yuan Tan said disgustedly.
Neither is Yuan Shang rubbing, nor is it not rubbing, (ㄒoㄒ).
Brother, can you stop being so arrogant, and show some flaws.
One must know that he lived under the shadow of his eldest brother, and his days seemed like years.
-'O'-, but Yuan Shang quickly rose up, you must know that he is also a man of wisdom and beauty, and he will never give up lightly until the moment his father returns to the west.
Under the gaze of everyone, Yuan Tan got up and said, "Everyone eat melons, eat whatever you want. My father ordered me to deliver melons to you later, and let the family members taste our Jizhou specialties."
Although Yuan Shao nodded when he heard the words, and his confidants were still eating melons, he didn't feel any satisfaction in his heart, but his face was fiery.
No wonder the eldest son didn't want the relief food he gave, so the watermelon, which was so profitable, was sold to buy food.
After Yuan Shao experienced many things, he felt that he had to believe what Yuan Tan said, so as not to be slapped in the face.
But some things are really not believable at all.
However, it all came true again.
Today, the bottom line of the three views was refreshed.
When exactly is it a head?
Can't you just do what people do?
After going through this incident, even if Yuan Shao is the prime minister of the court, he can hold a boat in his stomach, but he can't support Yuan Tan's leg.
I definitely can't continue to eat melons with everyone.
So soon the melon eating conference was disbanded.
After leaving the Xiangfu.
"Eldest son..."
"Young master."
"Young master."
Tian Feng Jushou, Yan Liangwen Chou and other neutral factions came to see Yuan Tan off one after another.
With this gourd, the Yuan family's career will be promoted to a new level. Looking back at this moment, if the Yuan family didn't have the eldest son, it is simply unbelievable that everything would be what it is today.
Can't imagine the future either.
Although they were loyal to Yuan Shao and would not take sides with the young master, their respect for Yuan Tan was also from the bottom of their hearts.
When Yuan Shang saw this, the skin under his left eye twitched.
Yuan Tan's expression is calm, so he is not a young man who just came to this era.
After bidding farewell to everyone, he did not return to the mansion.
Instead, take it lightly.
"Let's go, let's go see everyone selling melons, selling melons and boasting."
Yuan Tan smiled.
Self-selling and boasting was originally a derogatory term, but now it must be a commendatory term.
Just have this confidence.
...
As Quzhou more and more melon farmers arrived in Yecheng.
This fresh fruit is bought and sold everywhere in the capital.
People flock to it, and ordinary people also want to try something new.
And the nobles are even more proud of eating melons, eating melons is a luxury, and eating melons is elegant.
Whoever treats guests without watermelon as a vegetable and fruit, the family glory will drop a notch.
Watermelon also began to spread all over the world.
Yuan Tan still went to the place where his old acquaintance, Zhao Village, sold melons.
Shouts were heard in the distance.
"The watermelon is for sale, Qu Zhou's big watermelon. Where are those people who ridicule the young master's stupidity? Come and taste the watermelon, you don't need to pay for it."
Er Gouzi was embarrassed, and heard the voice of his father-in-law Zhao Hai.
Shouting like this is suspected by some ordinary people.
However, the people of Quzhou sold watermelons and went straight from poverty to well-off, which is all the favor of the eldest son.
Can they not be grateful to Dade?
Thinking of someone mocking the eldest son before, how could he not fight back?
Moreover, what they said is also true, those people are incompetent, and they simply don't know the ambitions of the great.
Yuan Tan and the others heard the discussions of the people on the street.
"Old Sun, don't you just say that the eldest son wants sandy land specifically, are you stupid? Go and eat melons for free."
"When did I say that? I've always supported the eldest son." The man's face was hot. Anyone with a bit of self-esteem should not take this opportunity to eat melons for free, and immediately turned around and disappeared on the street.
After Yuan Tan heard it, he smiled.
Guo Jia said: "Eldest Young Master is wise, those bad rumors are now self-defeating."
Even the reputation has improved.
Yuan Tan came to Zhao Yu's booth and signaled not to reveal his identity.
Zhao Yu still said: "My lord, it's a pity that ordinary people can't eat watermelon."
Yuan Tan thought, fifty Wen a catty, a melon ten catties, is too expensive for ordinary people.
Touching Tang Bohu's folding fan in his hand, he pointed out: "Why are you so stupid, won't you cut up the snacks?"
"That's right." Zhao Yu patted his head, "Why didn't I remember that!"
So under his leadership, Zhao Village's melon team immediately cut up a lot of watermelons and divided them into small pieces of various sizes, ranging from a few cents to more than ten cents.
This time, it exploded.
Speaking of it, the common people have been watching it for two days, and they want to eat more and more after smelling it. Some people also go all out, spend a little extravagance, and buy a small one.
But most people are still too shy to afford it.
Now you can taste it for a few pennies, and immediately there is a long queue in front of the booth.
Yuan Tan stood at the back of the booth, watching all this with relief.
It is really a sense of satisfaction for the common people to eat the watermelon of later generations.
Guo Jia is also pleased, is this selling melons? Eat in your mouth, sweet in your heart, think of the eldest son, this is what people want.
"Let's go." Yuan Tan opened his folding fan and left in a casual manner.
However, he didn't go out more than ten steps.
Among the queued crowd, emergencies occurred.
Three big men flew out of the team and fell to the ground, rolling in pain.
And the crowd definitely parted here.
There were two beautiful and good-looking women.
One of the women was even more beautiful.
The crowd immediately started talking.
It was obvious that the scene was very chaotic just now, and the three rogues must have wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble.
It seems that the matter was not done, but was beaten.
Looking at the comparison of the strengths of the two sides, I didn't expect that it was just two delicate girls, which was too powerful.
Guo Jia and Gouzi were dumbfounded.
Of course Yuan Tan would not miss such a special girl, so he couldn't help but open his 'wisdom eye' to take a look.
Zhang Rou: Strength 76, Intelligence 61, Charm 89, faction Zhang Yan, loyalty -.
Zhang Yan's own sister, her loyalty has been sealed.
Yuan Tan also did not expect that in this capital, he would encounter Zhang Rou, the aunt of the 100,000 commander of the Montenegro Army.
Speaking of which, the Black Mountain bandit army is now a serious problem for the Yuan family.
The banditry brought by the black bandits accounted for 99% of the area controlled by the Yuan family.
Yuan Tan, Yuan Shao, all the military advisers are studying how to enter the mountain and wipe out the black mountain bandits.
But have not found a good way.
Especially now that it is the time of summer harvest, the Yuan family's army will be restrained for at least a month to protect the summer harvest and store it in the warehouse.
But even if they are not restrained, it is conceivable how difficult it is to enter the Taihang Mountains to suppress the bandits.
The aunt of one hundred thousand black bandits must be very important, right?
Learn from your own micro-service private interview?
Don't you know that Grandpa has wisdom eyes?
Immediately, Yuan Tan had a continuous stream of malicious thoughts like a torrential river.
