Chapter 913
Since I have the ability to really turn the saline-alkali land here into fertile land, then Ming, I know how to farm better than you?" I asked with a smile, and the old men who were still smiling happily just now were unable to speak on the spot. These old men stared at each other, as if they were extremely incredible, but such a great temptation was placed in front of them. If they didn't do it, wouldn't they watch such a large amount of wealth slip away from their fingertips in vain, which would probably make them die with peace of mind.
"Damn! I, Old Man Zhao, are afraid of birds. Old guys, you can do it yourself. Anyway, Old Zhao has made a bet. You are really capable of turning this saline-alkali land into fertile fields and planting crops. Not to mention that you want us to learn from you, even if you don't let us learn, we will have to pay you a silly." Old Man Zhao spoke very imposingly, but I like such courageous people.
"Okay, even if you say that, Old Man Zhao, let's sign a letter and draw a stamp now. Anyway, a certain size of the house is an official. I signed a bet with you and posted it outside the official office, so I asked the people of Weinan County to testify. At that time, I, an official, would naturally be embarrassed to regret it. What?" I stretched out my hand, Old Man Zhao rolled up his sleeves, rubbed his hand on his clothes, gritted his teeth, and slapped me into a high-high place: "Don't do it!"
At this moment, Fang Chengye ran over with a scream: "Young master, young master, someone is coming from the capital. It's Your Majesty's guard."
As soon as they said this, the old men were so scared that they were trembling all over. Perhaps they had fallen down at this moment. They remembered that this young master was the county magistrate of Weinan, also known as the high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty and the son-in-law of His Majesty. I quickly shook my hand and signaled that the old men should not be worried. "It's okay, old man, you sit a little bit wide, and Fang will come. Fang Cheng, hurry up and get paper and pen. I will make a bet with these old men." After I shouted at Fang Cheng, I greeted the big guard who had already dismounted and was strode towards him.
"Sir, please follow your Majesty's order to return to the capital immediately." After the great eunuch respectfully saluted me, he said to himself.
This made me stunned: "Oh, what happened?" My heart tightened. But when I saw that the big inner guard had no movement in his expression, I felt relieved. As long as Uncle Li's health was fine, no matter how big the earth was, for me, I just thought it was a fart. The big inner guard glanced at the old farmers with strange eyes and trembling expressions, and lowered his voice: "It's about Tubo. It's the information from the Jinzouyuan. Your Majesty specially sent his subordinates to invite the lord to go to the palace together."
------------------------------------------------
After hearing this, I couldn't help but raise my brows, tilted my head and asked at the big guard, "Can it be the lord of Tubo..." The big guard nodded slightly, and I was also excited. Damn, it was definitely a big incident. The Tubo king Songzan Gampo was so rude. Uncle Li's side son-in-law was so rude? He wanted to go with the big guard, but when he saw the old farmers squatting in place and not moving, he thought: "Please wait for me for a while, and wait until I signed a bet with these old people, and then go together, it takes less than a quarter of an hour."
"Go! Sir, you make a bet with the common people?" The guard of the inner guard almost fell into the ditch and looked at me with his eyes straight. I laughed dryly: "Don't worry, you'll know in a while. By the way, don't scare them."
The big guard seemed very curious and wanted to see what I bet with the old farmers who seemed to have nothing. Anyway, I said it would not take long, and he had already passed the order and went back late. Uncle Li wanted to blame me, so he was also asking for trouble for my son-in-law, so he nodded and agreed, followed me, and walked towards the old farmers.
"Old man, you are my brother. There is nothing to be afraid of. Come on, drink tea and tea. When my family gets paper and pen, we will set up the quotation. In this way, if Fang is not working, you just come and take the cow away. With my signature, no one dares to stop him." I pressed Old Man Zhao back to the mat, poured a cup of tea for the guard, and then smiled.
The big guard beside him saw me looking at him, so he had to nod his head, as if he was sent by His Majesty to witness our financial appointment. He was so happy that a group of old farmers kept saluting the big guard. At this time, Fang Cheng finally rushed over with his pen, ink, paper and ink.
I was naturally familiar with the things I wrote. I wrote a picture and then read it out, so that the old farmers could understand clearly. After they had no objections, I continued to write. Fortunately, there were not many words, so I could write enough numbers. The old farmers handed one, and I also took one. The old farmers didn’t know how to read it, so I had to ask the names one by one, add their names, and then sign my name, and both parties labeled it.
Come, the old farmers still looked at the big inner guard who arrived halfway through, staring at the old farmers who were grinning at him for no reason, and they were completely confused.
I understood, and handed the pen to the great guard, and then smiled and said, "Since you are here to call me on behalf of Your Majesty, I will be a witness, sign and mark it, and notarize our bet as an intermediary."
The guard of the inner guard signed his name with a depressed look on his face, and also covered his ink with his fingers. Finally, the old men laughed and kept saying appropriate words. "It's not that we old men don't believe you, you, but if there is an official who is bigger than you, it's naturally better. Do we dare not believe the high-ranking officials sent by His Majesty?"
This is not just me, but even the big guard felt embarrassed. When was the sixth-rank guard even higher than the dignified fourth-rank general? Fortunately, I pulled this brother and signaled that he didn't need to explain at all. If the explanation made these old farmers feel regretful, that would be bad.
I bid farewell to these old farmers who were so happy that they were holding a treasure. I took my picture and handed it to a family general. I asked them to follow these old farmers to take it to the government office and to the county magistrate Cui Renshi, and asked him to post it outside the government office, so that these old farmers were completely relieved. Well, that's what I said. In fact, I want to arouse the curiosity of the people of Weinan County and let them also notice this matter. Whether it is a loss or a win or a win, it will be of great benefit to me to win the basic trust of the people of Weinan County. As long as I have trust and do things, it will definitely be much better.

After the instructions, Fang Cheng and Bonalljin, who had already been ready to take me on a horse, hurried to Chang'an City with the big guards sent by Uncle Li. They were speechless all the way, because they were galloping fast, and in less than half an hour, they arrived in Chang'an.
Let these two loyal servants wait outside the palace, and followed the guards to the Qifeng Pavilion where Uncle Li was. When they arrived, there was no one. After asking, I found out that Uncle Li couldn't wait and went to the Staff Academy to brag and spank. I had to turn around and hurried to the Staff Academy.
As soon as I entered the hall, it was already full of officials from the General Staff and some important officials from the Tang Dynasty. My old man was also on the list. Uncle Li was talking with a gaze. Seeing that I was here, he raised his hand at me: "Come here quickly, why did the son-in-law arrive now?"
"I delayed some official duties for a while, so I would like to forgive you." I took two steps forward and quickly saluted Uncle Li.
"Haha, since it's official business, it's okay to come later. Let's sit down, everyone..." Uncle Li started to spit out again, and I sat straight to Su Dingfang. Su Dingfang moved his butt and gave me a seat. "Brother Dingfang, what's going on? I came in a hurry just now. I don't quite understand what happened."
Su Dingfang smiled and raised his eyebrows proudly: "Brother Jun, I'm very happy. The Tubo king Songzan Gampo died of illness. Prime Minister Lu Dongzan and other adults hid the news without sending it. In addition, he sent someone to order the two Songzan Gampo brothers to return to the capital. At this moment, Tubo is having fun. Hehehe..." Su Dingfang was just talking, and the people in front of him had already passed the information. I snatched it from Su Dingfang and read it carefully.
It turned out that Songtsen Gampo's condition suddenly worsened in early June, and he was unconscious in the stimulus, and finally only survived until mid-June, and his fart was in the palace. When he died, His Highness the Princess was also by his side. Songtsen Gampo died suddenly, so he did not leave an edict to indicate whether his grandson would inherit the throne. However, when Songtsen Gampo died, several ministers around him discussed with Lu Dongzan, and decided to be the main focus of Songtsen Gampo's grandson Mang Songmangzan.
