Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 101 Isn't that cheap?
King Xing left the next day. Dianzhan Lu Song personally drove to pick up King Xing, and Yuan Zonggao also followed.

Lu Song was only slightly surprised when he saw Qin Shao, but soon became calm.

When Qin Shao heard that this was Lu Song, thinking of that guy named Lu Bing, he couldn't help but observe Lu Song a few more times.

He was quite heroic and handsome, except for a glance at himself, he kept looking at King Xing, as if he was always waiting for orders.

The third son was very surprised when he saw their luxurious carriage, he didn't expect a Taoist priest to have such great power.

"My lord, isn't their carriage worth a lot of money?"

The person had gone far away, but the third son still couldn't help asking curiously.

"Well, it's worth a lot of money!"

Qin Shao said vaguely.

...

"Zong Gao, how is the investigation of Lu Shi (Qin Shao's aunt) going?"

In the carriage, Zhu Youzhao said to Yuan Zonggao who was riding to one side.

"My lord, Wang Gui sent a letter saying that the Lu family came to Zhanggou Village, Laohekou, Xiangyang in the winter of Bingchen. Zhanggou Village has only one family surnamed Lu, who was originally a shopkeeper, and later settled in Zhanggou Village and gave birth to two sons. They are Lu Da and Lu Er respectively, and each of the Lu brothers has a daughter, namely Lu (Qin Shao's aunt) and Qin Lu (Qin Shao's mother)."

"Later, Lu Da and his wife and daughter went to the city to do business, and Lu Er stayed in Zhanggou Village to farm. After Lu Da entered the city, he had little contact with the village, and the villagers did not know what happened afterwards; Lu Er recruited Qin Mingyuan for his daughter Qin Lu's family. Lu Er The husband and wife passed away, Qin Mingyuan passed the examination as a scholar, and once moved back to Nanzhang, Xiangyang, his hometown alone. Afterwards, the villagers asked the village head to mediate, and Qin Mingyuan moved back home for a while, and soon left home again and never returned.”

"Qin Lu's husband became pregnant after leaving home. Some villagers saw a swollen belly. Since her husband left home, she has become mentally abnormal. The people of the clan heard that Qin Mingyuan made a living in Anlu Prefecture, and sent people to look for it but failed. In the winter of Bingchen, Lu's Suddenly went to Zhanggou Village, Laohekou, Xiangyang, and took care of Qin Lushi since then. In the twelfth lunar month, Qin Lushi gave birth to a son, Qin Shao. Only Wen Po in the village said that she had never delivered Qin Lushi's birth, and Lushi helped deliver the baby. "

"After giving birth to a child, Qin Lu's lingering on sick bed all the year round, and later passed away. During the thieves' rebellion, Lu took Qin Shao to flee and got separated. Some villagers once saw her looking for Qin Shao, but she disappeared afterwards."

Reported by Yuan Zonggao.

"Well, you send a letter to Wang Gui. Don't rush back before the matter is over. Let him find out what Lu's business was before returning to Zhanggou Village, and thoroughly find out the details of Lu's family!"

Zhu Youzhao ordered with a calm expression.

"Yes!"

……

Sending away the big man Xing Wang, Qin Shao didn't think so much this time.

He had already figured it out, knowing King Xing himself was a kind of fate.

Zhu Youtang can make the people around him come to pick him up blatantly, so he should have no other thoughts about himself, and he really has a bit of a villainous heart.

The identities of the two are there, and there is an intersection at present, and it is also because there are things that each other needs.

I still have to test my talent well, buy more land to make money, and only when I have enough weight can I play a role in the balance.

The new year will come soon.

Although this era is not very rich, the Chinese New Year is more grand than the previous life.

I wish the old man still has a father at home, although he is not young, because he can't go home, he is a little unhappy.

Qin Shao simply let the two families live together to make it more lively.

Just in the twelfth lunar month of winter, Han Jinrong has already started preparing new year's goods, marinated chicken, fish, and sausages.

Sweep the house on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, and then prepare "Seven Bucha (stir-fry peanuts, corn kernels, soybeans, etc. with clean and dry sand)" and Ba Bu Nao (eight kinds of fried twist, stewed vegetables, etc.), and finally steamed Double Happiness steamed buns .

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, post New Year pictures and couplets.

Most of those Spring Festival couplets were written and drawn by the old man Zhu.

Qin Shao also wrote two pieces, basically the ones that were common in previous lives:

The first couplet: welcome the new year and everything goes well; the second couplet: receive Hongfu step by step; horizontal comment: good things come to the door

The first couplet: everything goes well to show the grand plan; the second couplet: all wishes come true and great achievements are made; the horizontal comment: five blessings come to the door

After posting the couplets, the preparations for the previous year have almost been completed.

I wish the old man and Guan Lu went to the old friend's house to send the New Year's gift. The old friend's old father is still alive. As a junior, he will give some New Year's gifts to show his respect.

Han Jinrong proposed to send two bags of home-grown rice to King Xing's Mansion. The last time King Xing came, he always praised their rice taste good.

Qin Shao let her figure it out by herself. The etiquette at home is usually arranged by Han Jinrong. He is not as proficient in etiquette as this little girl.

They delivered it in the morning, and in the afternoon Zhu Chen and the others returned gifts, which were ginseng, caterpillar fungus and the like.

He also brought a reply from the prince, saying that the food he took was too much, and he couldn't eat it now because of his illness, so he threw it away, so he just gave it to them.

How arrogant!You still say that when you give something away!

However, Qin Shao is willing to take advantage of this advantage. If he doesn't eat it, he can exchange it for a lot of money.

After finishing everything, Qin Shao felt that it was time to wait for the New Year's Eve dinner.

But Mistress Xu came to the door suddenly, not only gave a boxing gift, but also brought a message.

"Master Qin, there is news about the piece of land you want to buy!"

Mrs. Xu said happily.

Qin Shao didn't expect that there would be news of that land so soon.

After all, it was the idle land of Prince Xiang's Mansion, dealing with such people was the most troublesome.

In such a large Xiangwang Mansion, people can say that they are not short of money or land. Sometimes if you want to buy other people's things, they are afraid that they don't care and find it troublesome.

In Qin Shao's previous life, when he just graduated and rented a house in the city, he met that kind of local tyrant with dozens of houses in his family.

Sometimes it is too troublesome and I would rather leave it empty than rent it out, because it is too troublesome.

Even though he was very itchy about that piece of land, he also knew that there was no rush for this matter, and he thought that it would take a long time for the good things to happen, but he didn't expect that there would be news so soon.

"Ma'am, is it possible that Prince Xiang's Mansion is willing to sell those lands?"

"Yes, Mr. Qin, we have found the tooth shop over there in Prince Xiang's Mansion, and there is someone there who knows the steward of Prince Xiang's Mansion."

"The steward said that if it wasn't for us, their palace would have forgotten that piece of land! The land was shared by King Xianghuai when he was alive. Because the land was barren and too far away from Xiangyang Mansion, he never managed it at all. He also wanted to sell it a few years ago. It’s gone, it’s just that no buyer has been found.”

"If someone here wants it, they are very willing to sell it. Their prince also said, just sell it directly. If you want it, son, you can go to Xiangyang Mansion and find my best friend in the tooth shop. She will help you Get everything done."

Mrs. Xu said.

"Ma'am, how much is an acre?"

Qin Shao is most concerned about this issue, not knowing how many acres he can afford.

"Mr. Qin, we are our own people. The old man told you that it is a dilapidated valley with no grass growing. Even if it is cheap, it will be a waste if you buy it. You have to think clearly, throwing this money in may be a waste of money. .”

Mrs. Xu really didn't understand that this Tongsheng master was so smart, why did he buy that piece of land that no one wanted? Could it be that he was stupid from studying?

"Ma'am, I bought it because it is useful, but I don't know if I can afford it!"

Qin Shao is most concerned about the price issue.

"The price of that broken mountain valley is actually not low. It is said that no one wants this broken place. Fortunately, it is because they can't grow crops and don't have to pay taxes. 280 taels, the price is really not cheap! What do you think you can buy it for?"

Mrs. Xu babbled.

Qin Shao heard it, and guessed that the land was too unprofitable, and Mrs. Xu didn't get an intermediary fee. The reason why she was willing to come here was because she wanted to get a good deal so that she could do her other business in the future.

"How much mu is 280 taels?"

Qin Shao didn't understand, how do you say 280 taels?He asked how much an acre was, so that he knew how many he bought.

"People don't sell by the mu, they have to buy all of them. There are hundreds of acres in the mountain basin, plus the surrounding broken hillocks, high and low, and thorny thorns. There are about 280 acres. The total asking price is [-] taels! It's not cheap! Mr. Qin , we are our own people, the old woman advises you, you have to think twice!"

All the places add up to only 280 taels of silver!
Qin Shao's heart almost jumped into his throat!
"Yes...it's true...it's not cheap!"

It took him a while to speak in response.
