The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 373 0374, a year's plan lies in spring

While the investigation was going on, Dawang Village, where Old Wangtou had left, begged Bai Lai to follow Long Fei.I just lived in the back hall of the county government office, and had no place to sleep, so I slept on the floor.It was precisely because of Long Fei's good temper that he said that he could not find the two cattle for a day, so he lived in the county government office.

The yamen servants were all watching Long Fei's jokes, and no one took the initiative to stand up to persuade Old Wangtou.Lu Bu and Xu Chu wanted to go, but were stopped by Long Fei.These two guys still came forward, it was not to reason with the old Wangtou at all.What the two of them have always believed in most is to try not to beep as much as possible.

In fact, Long Fei also knew that the officialdom in An County also followed his rules.When Wu Kun was here, there were many small benefits, which made the gang of yamen servants taste a lot of sweetness.Later, Long Fei was put in prison, and Long Fei didn't care about the previous rules. Now that he is the head of the family, he must follow his rules.

Long Fei hadn't had time to deal with this matter, after all, it was impossible for him to expel all the yamen servants at once.After all, the county government still needs to operate normally, and Long Fei is not familiar with the situation in An County.Counting on them to help out, naturally they can't be neglected.Long Fei gave them a very high reward for sending them to find the two animals.

Didn't everyone say that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward? This time, Long Fei really met him.On the third day after sending people out to investigate, Long Fei got the exact information about the two cattle.Some people even saw the two cattle with their own eyes, but it was a pity that he failed to bring them back.

The location is in Xiaowang Village, just next door to Dawang Village.It's not far from Lao Wangtou's house, and Lao Wangtou, who was anxious to find a cow, was not in a hurry when he heard that he was in Xiaowang Village.He hoped that Long Fei would come forward and help him get Dahuang and Xiaohuang back. Dahuang and Xiaohuang were the names of the two cattle, and they were both mothers.

Old Wangtou is one of the most famous cattle farmers in Dawang Village, but there is someone more famous than him in Xiaowang Village.This person is known as the King of Cattle, and was once selected as the King of Cattle Raising by the Anxian County Government.He is the first batch of professional cattle farmers in An County, and also the first common people who can carry out the cattle breeding business to the end.

Now that the cow has been found, Long Fei naturally doesn't want to waste any more time.He took the yamen servant and Lao Wangtou to Xiaowang Village, and found the Niu Wang directly.He originally had a name and surname, but later everyone called him Niu Wang. This buddy really changed his name in the end.Stop calling him that vulgar name in his opinion, and just call him Niu Wang.

Before entering Niu Wang's house, the first yamen servant who found the clue pulled Long Fei aside.Quietly tell Long Fei that this matter is not as simple as the old Wangtou said.

If he could take the cows away directly, he would have taken them away after finding the two cows.The yamen servant had already revealed his identity to Niu Wang at that time, and hoped that Niu Wang would not interfere with his official duties.But the bull king told him that the two cows belonged to him in the first place.No matter what method he used to get it back, it was called returning the property to its original owner.

The yamen servant didn't want to see Long Fei suffer, so he decided to tell Long Fei about it.As for whether the matter is true or not, only Long Fei can verify it.

A group of people walked into Niu Wang's house, and were warmly received by this middle-aged man with a happy face, and specially prepared delicious meals for Long Fei and others.It is said that he stretches out his hand and does not hit the smiling face, but this trick of the Niu Wang really makes people quite helpless.

Long Fei could not move his chopsticks, but he couldn't stop other people from moving their chopsticks, right?Eat other people's mouth short, take other people's hand short, enjoy the food provided by them like this, how can we enforce the law impartially later.

But Niu Wang is not as complicated as Long Fei thought, since the old Wangtou brought all the county captains, today he has to talk if he doesn't want to.Although things have passed for a long time, in Niu Wang's view, it doesn't matter how long it has passed.Anyway, the fact is the fact, no matter how long it takes, no one can change it.

Seeing that Long Fei didn't intend to move his chopsticks, Niu Wang put down his teacup and said with a smile: "Master Long, are you going to stand out for Old Wang today?"

Long Fei said: "I hope to hear your explanation first, why you said that the property should be returned to its original owner."

Niu Wang smiled lightly when he heard the words, looked at the old Wangtou with an ugly face, and said with a smile: "Old Wangtou, didn't you tell Master Long?"

Old Wang pouted his neck and said, "What to say, what to say. The big yellow and the little yellow are mine. If you stole my cow, you should give it back to me."

The Bull King didn't speak, but asked his servants to fetch a box.He opened the box and took out two pieces of rice paper, then handed the rice paper to Long Fei.After reading the words written on the rice paper, Long Fei glanced at Old Wang's head in surprise.

Since the old Wangtou refused to speak, now only Niu Wang himself can speak.

Niu Wang got up and walked out of the living room, and took Long Fei to his cowshed.The cowshed is full of yellow cattle, at least seventy or eighty at a glance.On the left are all big oxen, and on the right are all small oxen.The scalpers were grazing quietly, and when they saw the group of uninvited guests, they just looked up at them, and then had no other reaction.

Niu Wang smiled and said: "Everyone, I want to play a game with you. If any of you can find the two scalpers that Old Wangtou was talking about, I, the Bull King, will give him a scalper today. Of course, except for Old Wangtou." .”

As soon as these words came out, these people were very happy.Although they are all members of the public family, there are seniors and juniors, and their salaries are not enough to support their families.Their families are all farmers, and they have to farm with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky every day.Ordinary farmers who have the money to raise cattle can only rent cattle during spring plowing and autumn harvest.

Not to mention the gang of yamen servants, even Xu Chu and Zhao Yun took action.Lu Bu was not interested in this matter, but he always regarded himself as Long Fei's personal bodyguard.So no matter where Long Fei went, he would follow.Unless Long Fei proposed not to use him, he would follow Long Fei like a shadow.

Seeing everyone wandering in the bullpen, Long Fei didn't get serious with the Bull King.It doesn't matter whether he is rich or powerful, or he is confident.Anyway, from Long Fei's point of view, these people are not as smart as Niu Wang.But Long Fei is not stupid, he is learning from old Wangtou right now.

The bull king said that he would not let the old Wangtou participate, and the old Wangtou already had a way to find the two cows.As expected after asking, Long Fei really guessed right.

This herd of farm cattle is almost identical, but the two cattle of Old Wang's head are marked.The marks he made are very hidden, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find them, even if they are looking for them specially.Moreover, his two cows are of the same breed as Niu Wang's cows, and even have a blood relationship with them.

Everyone shuttled in the bullpen, only four of them did not leave the rest area.Long Fei sat with the old Wangtou, and Lu Bu, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, stood behind Long Fei, and the Bull King got up and walked towards Long Fei.He didn't want to make this a big deal, so he didn't want so many people present.

What happened was narrated by Niu Wang, who had explained in advance.If the old Wangtou thinks that he has made a mistake, he can bring it up at any time.

It's a pity that only Niu Wang was speaking from the beginning to the end, which proved that what he said had been acquiesced by Lao Wangtou.

At the beginning, Lao Wangtou wanted to specialize in raising cattle, but at that time, no one in the ten miles and eight villages knew this.Lao Wangtou didn't know much about it either. In order to save costs, he could only raise some common farm cattle in the neighborhood.At that time, there were many people in the land and few cows, so Lao Wangtou's business quickly became prosperous.

Later, Lao Wangtou heard about the Niu Wang in the next village.The cattle he raises have little stamina to eat, and even the worst ones can pay back after two or three years.

Old Wangtou was tempted, especially after he visited Niuwang's cowshed and saw all the big yellow cattle, Old Wangtou decided to buy one back at that time.He wants to do business in this area, not buy it back and cultivate it himself.So under the suggestion of Niu Wang, Lao Wangtou bought a big yellow ox and rented a female yellow ox.

The female scalper was rented by Niu Wang to Lao Wangtou, and the two of them signed an agreement at that time.Lao Wangtou regularly wants Niu Wang to pay [-]% in return, and the [-]% return is not money, but the child born to the big ox and the female ox.According to the original ratio of six to four points, the bull king gets four and the old king gets six.

The agreement did not specify a time limit, but it stipulated that if the old Wangtou didn't want to give the [-]% to the Niu Wang, he had to pay the Niu Wang's cow in one go.The price of one female scalper was the same as that of two rhubarb heads. At that time, Lao Wangtou was really tight on money.

Three months ago, Lao Wangtou informed the Bull King that he would no longer give the Bull King a share from now on.Of course the Niu Wang wanted to ask him why, and the reason given by the old Wang Tou made the Niu Wang furious.

The female scalper died, and the old Wangtou thought that the agreement between them should also be terminated.The female ox is dying of dystocia, and she gave birth to such a calf before she died.

In Niu Wang's view, what Old Wang did was very dishonest.But he is an honest businessman after all, and he must reason with Old Wang about this matter.

When the female scalper died, the old Wangtou should compensate him for the loss.Compensation according to the price is reasonable, and this matter is justified wherever the bull king goes.But Lao Wangtou disagreed, and Niu Wang asked him to give him the big ox and the little ox as compensation.The old king disagreed even more, and even spread rumors that the bull king bullied him, a small family raising cattle.

The matter is already very clear. The Niu Wang who talked about this had red eyes and tremblingly said: "Master Long, you may not know. I specialize in the business of renting farm cattle, and many people who signed with me were with the old Wangtou. The same agreement. If they knew what happened to the cow’s death at Lao Wangtou’s house, would they all learn from him? If that’s the case, I would be bankrupt in minutes.”

At that time, Long Fei believed in Old Wangtou and thought he was an honest man.Now seeing the old Wang's eloquent rivalry with the Bull King, Long Fei finally understood what it meant to be as high as a mountain.

If there is a problem, it must be solved, otherwise Long Fei will not be in vain these days.Leaving aside old Wang's little thoughts, Long Fei gave his suggestion.

Lao Wangtou should compensate Niu Wang for his loss so that he can return Da Huang and Xiao Huang to him.If the old Wangtou still wants to make trouble, Long Fei doesn't mind letting him go to the county to file a complaint.Anyway, this matter is here with Long Fei, and it has been determined that the old Wang has made a mistake.

When everyone was still shuttling between the cowsheds for a cow, Long Fei and the three of them had already discussed a solution to the problem.Of course, this was not ordered by Long Fei, but Lao Wangtou and Niu Wang each made a concession. After all, business people pay attention to harmony and wealth.

Lao Wangtou compensated Niu Wang according to the price, and Niu Wang returned the big yellow and small yellow to Lao Wangtou.Then Lao Wangtou gave Xiao Huang to Niu Wang, thinking that he would pay the full price to Niu Wang to buy a cow of the latest breed.In order to show its sincerity, Niuwang will provide technical support to Lao Wangtou free of charge.And they plan to expand the cattle shed for him, making him one of the top ten cattle farmers in An County.

The wine was paid for by the old Wangtou, and the Niu Wang was responsible for providing the venue, but it was a pity that only the gang of yamen servants were present.Long Fei received a secret letter temporarily, and left Xiaowang Village after reading it.

The letter was from Sun Ce to Long Fei, and there was only one sentence in the letter.

"Xiang'er was taken away!"
