Chapter 26
With Imperial City Secretary Lan Yu leading the way, the two old men easily arrived in front of Zhao Yingluo's house and met the high-profile Liang Da.
Seeing that he was having trouble with Her Royal Highness again, Lu Haowen said angrily, "If you don't farm well, why are you here at the princess's house?"
Liang Da pointed at the two big red boards and said, "Is this why you're here?"
Unable to hold back his temper, Zongze tried to draw his sword again. He shouted angrily, "This is nonsense. If you don't leave, be careful of my ruthless sword."
Liang Da became adamant at this time, "The princess is the adopted daughter of General Zong. When the princess humiliated me in the past, General Zong never defended me. Now, General Zong wants to pretend to be a public servant for personal gain? If this is true, it is said that Aren't you afraid of going to the Lin'an official's house?"
Zongze was so angry that he was about to explode, but before he could pull out his sword, he was held down by Lu Haowen again.
Lu Haowen came closer and whispered, "Old General, this Liang Da's daughter is the most beloved concubine of Right Prime Minister Qin Hui, so he is not afraid of you, me and the princess. It is inappropriate for you and me to take action in this matter, otherwise When the news reached Qin Hui, he was blowing a demonic wind at the official's house. Can you still hold your position as a guard in Tokyo? If you are demoted, can you still hold your position in Tokyo? "
Zongze was startled, "Can't we just let him cause trouble in front of Wanshu Mansion?"
Lu Haowen said calmly, "You and me, let's go into the house and see how she handles it before we make a decision. Wanshu is extremely smart. How can Liang Da be her opponent?"
When Lu Haowen said this, Zongze thought about it, so he suppressed his anger and entered the princess's mansion with Lu Haowen.
Before the two of them opened their mouths, Zhao Yingluo guessed their purpose and smiled calmly, "Liang Da, a mere Liang Da, has caused you two to come here in such a fussy manner. Don't worry, foster father and uncle, let's leave the house first. "
When Lu Hao asked, seeing that Her Royal Highness the Princess was confident, he spread his hands at Zongze, meaning that I had already guessed that she had a plan to deal with it.
Seeing her leaving the house so confidently, two curious old men followed her closely.
"All the elders of Kaifeng City must have seen that Shen Wanshu is able to produce so much per acre thanks to her high-yielding seeds."
People who eat melons think about it. Otherwise, how could one stone of corn be sold for 30 taels of silver?
"Everyone, look at it, she won't come out, she doesn't dare to come out! This shows that she has a guilty conscience."
"Who said I don't dare to come out?"
The lacquered red door slowly opened, and Zhao Yingluo, dressed in narrow-sleeved women's clothing, walked out swaggeringly with her hands behind her back. Influenced by her, the two old men behind her also walked out in a way that they didn't recognize their relatives.
Liang Da was startled for a moment, then bowed his head slightly as a salute with a smile on his face, "Since Your Highness the Princess dares to come out, do you dare to agree?"
Zhao Yingluo said with a disdainful look, "Why don't you dare? But I really don't like your little rent! If you really want to play, then play a big one. Do you dare?"
Seeing that Zhao Yingluo really wanted to take a gamble with him, Liang Da felt a little guilty. Although he had corn seeds and hired some farming experts from her, he still lacked confidence.
"In front of the elders of Kaifeng, let's change the conditions, and we can change the outcome to a bigger one. I heard someone said that you plan to plant 50 acres of corn this autumn, is that right?"
"So what?"
"Very good, let's make a bet. If your total corn output of 50 acres can exceed my total corn output of 20 acres, the 40 acres of land in my hand, together with Dasong Bank and Zui Furong Hotpot Restaurant, will Give it to you! On the contrary, how about all the 100 million acres of land in your hands belong to me?" Before Liang Da could respond, the two old men quit. They even thought she was crazy and followed her with an output of 20 acres. With a yield ratio of 50 acres, even if Liangda's yield per mu is less than six stones, it is still a sure win.
The two of them took a step forward and stood next to Zhao Yingluo, one on the left and the other on the right.
Lu Haowen whispered, "Do you have a fever? This is a sure-losing situation."
Zongze asked in a low voice, "Don't worry, daughter, daddy will take care of everything for you."
Liang Da also felt that she was a little abnormal. With the yield of 20 acres compared to 50 acres, he would definitely win! People who eat melons also feel that the princess is a bit convulsive. 40 acres of land is worth one million taels. Zui Furong's monthly income is tens of thousands of taels. The deposits of Dasong Bank, not to mention the huge sums of money, are worth hundreds. Wanliangbo Liangda's land worth about 200 million taels, what is it if it's not a convulsion? However, Zhao Yingluo ignored their reactions, "Do you agree to this bet or not?"
Liang Da was overjoyed. This was really a big pie falling from the sky. Anyone who didn't agree was having a brain attack.
"Promise! You must promise!"
In order to prevent Zhao Yingluo from regretting it, Liang Da asked two old men to testify. After both parties wrote down the documents and stamped their fingerprints, he put his heart in his stomach and left happily.
Liang Da was happy, but the two old men couldn't be happier. They really didn't understand why Zhao Yingluo had to dig a hole and pick it in by herself.
Seeing the two old men frowning and looking as if their mothers were dead, Zhao Yingluo couldn't bear it, "Okay! Just believe me, the person in this world who can make me lose has not yet been born. To celebrate my upcoming acquisition of Liang Dana’s 100 million acres of land, let’s go to Zui Furong for a meal together.”
eat?Even if they were asked to eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow, the two old men were not in the mood. After complaining to Zhao Yingluo, they shook their heads helplessly and left the princess's mansion.
The bet between the princess and Liang Da seemed to have wings, spreading around Kaifeng City and also reaching Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng and Song Gaozong Zhao Gou.
After Wanyan Sheng heard about the bet, he became more and more curious about Zhao Yingluo. Who gave her the courage?
"Is there any news from Alin?"
The A-lin he was talking about was Wanyan Zongyi, his favorite order to educate his son well, Wanyan Sheng did everything possible to educate him and let him learn Chinese and wear Hanfu.
His ultimate goal was to abolish the Bojilie system and follow the example of the Han people where the throne was passed down only to sons.
According to the Bojilie system, the throne can only be passed down from generation to generation, that is, after Wanyan Sheng's death, the throne can only be passed on to his peers in the clan, but not to his own descendants.
Liu Yu had asked him several times earlier to send someone to canonize him as emperor. In order to check and balance the Song Dynasty, Taizong of Jin sent his son who he had carefully cultivated as the envoy of Jin to go to Jinan.
"Your Majesty, there is no news from Your Highness yet."
"Send someone to Jinan with my edict, and ask Ah Lin to go to Kaifeng in civilian clothes after canonizing Liu Yu. If necessary, we can have in-depth contact with Shen Wanshu. If we can invite her to Dajin, it will be a great achievement. ."
"Your Majesty, let's do it."
