The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 782 Meeting

Luo Zhan stood in front of Qi Haoran with a smile, cupped his hands and saluted, "Luo has met King Rong."

Qi Haoran looked at Xiaoxiong with raised eyebrows, "Luo Dian Luo Zhan?"

Luo Zhan bowed humbly, "It's Mr. Luo, the lord, who has reserved a seat in the restaurant opposite. I don't know if I can give you a face and sit down." He glanced at Xiao Xiong, smiled and said, "I've been shopping for a long time. Are you thirsty?"

Qi Haoran hugged the son on his neck into his arms, and asked him, "Do you want to drink some water?"

Bear demanded, "Drink the juice."

"Where can I find juice for you in winter?" Qi Haoran said, "I'll ask someone to buy you soy milk, soy milk and water, you can choose the same."

Little Bear shouted: "Soymilk!"

Qi Haoran brought Xiaoxiong and Luo Zhan into the restaurant, halfway through, Qi Haoran remembered that there was Xu Zhi following behind him, and turned around to wave to him, "Xu Zhizhou has been following him for a day, come up and rest."

Seeing that Qi Haoran hadn't forgotten the main purpose of their coming out today, Xu Zhi happily wiped the sweat from his forehead, and followed up. At this time, he had already vaguely guessed that the prince did this to lure Luo Zhan himself into the bait, Instead of them just looking for someone.

Luo Zhan took them into a relatively large box, opened the window and could see where they were standing just now, and the acrobatic performance below was clear at a glance.

The little bear yelled excitedly, moved the stool over to stand on it, lay down on the window and looked down.

Qi Haoran supported his body, and waited for his excitement to pass before he hugged him back. At this time, there were a lot of delicious food on the table. They walked around for a long time, and they were a little hungry, but Qi Haoran He was not in a hurry to eat, but just put some easy-to-kettle food for the little bear, then raised his head and said to Xu Zhi: "Didn't Xu Zhizhou chase after Xiao Wang for a day and ask where the grain skewers came from?" Qi Haoran ordered at Luo Zhan Chin, said: "It was sent by Mr. Luo Er."

Xu Zhi was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look at Luo Zhan with bright eyes, "Second Young Master, so you brought that grain skewer, I don't know where you got it from, but do you have any extra?"

Luo Zhan frowned, looked at Qi Haoran from the corner of his eyes, and saw that he was lowering his head to feed the little prince, and seeing Xu Zhi looking at him nervously, he smiled slightly and said: "The rice seeds are planted by our Luo Dian, and the weather is good this year. , my father saw that the grain strings were full and full of grains, so he specially asked someone to pick out a particularly good string and send it to the prince, which means a good harvest."

Xu Zhi's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Does Luo Dian plant a lot of this kind of rice, and what is the yield per mu? After planting it for a few years, has there been any pests or other diseases?..."

Xu Zhi asked questions one after another, and they all hit the point, Luo Zhan knew that they had come prepared, and his heart that had been hanging over him suddenly settled down.

As long as King Rong is tempted, he still has a chance to negotiate. Luo Zhan heaved a sigh of relief, and answered Xu Zhi's questions with a smile. Some things he couldn't say, he just let it go. After all, he is not a farmer, no, for those questions It is understandable not to understand.

This kind of rice has been planted in Luo Dian for two years, but it was sown in a small area. According to Luo Zhan, this kind of rice was accidentally planted by tenants, and now it is only expanded from the original production area, because the mu The yield is more than the average rice, so it has attracted the attention of the landlords. After reporting layer by layer, it was already last month when they got their hands. Send it to Qi Haoran, hoping to do my part for Da Qi and the emperor.

Luo Zhan's statement, not to mention Qi Haoran, even Xu Zhi didn't believe it. Seeing that he couldn't ask for more information, Xu Zhi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Qi Haoran took Luo Zhan's words and said: "The patriarch of the Luo family is loyal to the imperial court, the emperor must be very pleased to know."

Luo Zhan took advantage of the situation and knelt on the ground, saying: "My lord, the Luo Palace is the land of Daqi, and I, Luoshi, are also citizens of Daqi. There are more than six hundred people in my Luoshi clan. If the emperor has a mission, he will die."

Qi Haoran narrowed his eyes, supported his hand and said: "The emperor knows your loyalty, Second Master Luo, get up and speak."

Luo Zhan's thoughts changed, but he had already made up his mind. When he raised his head again, he looked at Qi Haoran with tears in his eyes, "Today, Luo has the courage to beg the emperor and the prince to make decisions for the Luo clan."

Qi Haoran held his hand unchanged, and said with a smile: "Let's talk when you have something to say."

After saying the most important sentence, Luo Zhan felt relieved, and sat down on the chair in a calm manner.

Qi Haoran asked curiously: "Isn't Luo Dian self-governed by your Luo clan? Xiao Wang remembers that even the chieftains are from your Luo clan. Could it be that there are still people in Luo Dian who can bully you?"

Luo Zhan smiled wryly, and said: "My lord doesn't know that Luo Dian borders Xixia, and the two are in peace and harmony. It's all because Luo Dian is mostly high mountains and dense forests, and the land is barren. Xixia people don't want to come to Luo Dian even if they dig grassy valleys." , but since you drove the Xixia soldiers out of Qiannan two years ago, the Xixia people have crossed the border from time to time to harass Luo Dian.

"There are no more than a hundred people in the chieftain's yamen of Luodian. Because there is only such a small road from Xixia to Luodian, there has never been a garrison. In the past two years, the Xixia people have become more and more excessive. They have penetrated from the border villages to the villages within 20 miles. If the township continues to develop, Luo Dian is afraid..."

Luo Zhan looked at Qi Haoran, gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, please take pity on the five thousand people in Luodian County and send troops to guard Luodian."

Qi Haoran was stunned. He didn't expect that Luo Zhan proposed such a condition. Speaking of such a thing, it should be proposed by the chieftain to the imperial court. Why would he come to him at a distance?

When Qi Haoran asked the question, Luo Zhan blushed and said, "There is no consensus within Luo Dian on this matter..."

Someone suggested that the imperial court should garrison troops, but the garrison is not so easy. The construction of the guards requires money. Most of the money will be spread on the people of Luo Dian, and the garrison must be placed, whether it is the local people who are responsible for the garrison like in the early days of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The military salaries and food salaries are still distributed to the garrison military fields as they are now, and they are self-sufficient, which is a big burden for the people of Luo Dian.

In the former, the taxes on them will be increased a lot. In the latter, they don't have much land, and if they distribute it, they will have even less land and will be poorer.

So someone proposed to recruit local young and strong for defense, but even if the imperial court didn't care about their recruitment, they would not train soldiers if they recruited people.

The Buyi people are fierce and brave, but because they are comfortable and peaceful all year round, fighting is like fighting in groups. How can they compare with well-trained Xixia soldiers?

In the past two years, all the people they recruited died at the border. Luo Zhan's father just couldn't see this kind of consumption, so he asked his son to ask Qi Haoran with a big gift, hoping to bypass the chieftain and directly ask Qi Haoran to send them a team. Garrison goes.

Luo Zhan has always been the superior second son in Luo Dian, and he is also the most intelligent. Even his elder brother is second only to him, so he was very confident when he came. In addition, they also asked about the relationship between the Rongjun Palace. The matter of farming and mulberry is particularly important. With such an important rice seed in his hand, he has a higher chance of negotiating, but who would have thought that he would be dealt with coldly by Qi Haoran as soon as he came, which greatly affected his confidence.
