Chapter 72 Buying Land
  "Why don't we just buy a piece of land in the suburbs? Why go so far away?"

On the edge of the Wei River, two horses galloped and finally stopped on a high slope.

Zhang Jingshou was riding on his horse, looking at a few villages in the distance with a puzzled look on his face.

After he was released from the prison, he was scolded by his mother and concubine for a long time and kept in solitary confinement for three days. He was released after repeatedly promising that he would not commit the crime again.

But as soon as he left the palace, he was a lively and heroic man again, forgetting all his promises.

Invited by Ji Ren, he talked about his plans to make money.

Zhang Jingshou was a little careless and even repulsive at first, thinking that pork was cheap, but after eating a few bites, he suddenly felt that this was an excellent deal - even if he lost money and couldn't make any money, he could still keep it for himself.

There is no loss in blood,
  A wonderful taste that is completely different from beef and mutton.

Delicious.

Without hesitation, he handed over the money to Ji Ren and started a business partnership.

"The closer you are to the imperial capital, the more expensive the land is. You can buy thirty acres of land here, but you can only buy five or six acres of land on the outskirts of the underworld. When we do business, we must first be careful, don't we, boss?" Ji Ren said.

"Old Ji's words make sense, so we are going to do an on-site survey?" After hearing Ji Ren's words, Zhang Jingshou's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had taken an elixir.

Although he is the youngest son of Emperor Qi and the most respected king of Ming Dynasty, no matter whether they love him or hate him, they all regard him as a child. No one thinks that he can do anything important, they only think that he is fooling around.

Ji Ren's words of "boss" really made him feel very comfortable.

I, Zhang Jingshou, am now also the big boss and can take charge of the family.

"Yes, boss, you see, although this place is remote, we don't need a good place to raise pigs. Moreover, boss, have you noticed that this place is close to a river. After our business grows, we can completely use water transportation to bring us to the clouds." Zhanzhu will be promoted to the north and south of the country, and then everyone will know the prestige of our firm." Ji Rendao.

"The second shopkeeper is right. The water system here extends in all directions. When the time comes, we will become bigger and stronger, so that the whole Daqi, no, the six countries will eat our pork. Anyone who hears about our pigs will raise their eyebrows. Thumb up." When Zhang Jingshou heard this, he was even more excited. He looked down at the river and felt proud in his heart.

He wants to be rich in the world and become the richest man in Daqi.

Looking at Zhang Jingshou whose interest was aroused, Ji Ren raised the corner of his mouth slightly and glanced at the distant village with a cold light in his eyes. He brought Zhang Jingshou here not just for business.

What's more important is Sujiazhai above.

On the surface, it is just an ordinary village, but in fact, it is a nest of unsung thieves across the river.

More importantly, the childhood sweetheart of Duke Su's grandson, whom he had never met before, was inside.

Wu Sheng stole it, the men killed it, and the women robbed it.

Now that childhood sweetheart is the concubine of the third head of the Su family village.

It is also the key to solving the immediate trouble.

"Let's go. The people in Yaojia Village heard that we bought their land and promised to work for them when the time came. They were all very happy and are waiting for you, the boss, to come." Ji Ren said.

"Really?" After hearing this, Zhang Jingshou became even more energetic. He galloped downhill with his horse and whip raised.

Ji Ren smiled slightly, whipped his riding whip, drove the BMW, and immediately caught up with Zhang Jingshou, and the two of them rode into the village. At the entrance of the village, an old man who looked like he was in his seventies, but was actually only in his fifties. When he saw Ji Ren and two people approaching, he hurried over and said with a flattering smile: "The two nobles are finally here, little old man. I've been waiting here all morning, and finally I've met these two nobles."

"You're welcome, old man. We all do business and trade equally. You are not considered a noble person." Ji Ren stood up and dismounted.

"The nobles are joking. Two nobles can buy our entire village's land. If they are not nobles, how can there be any nobles in this world?" the village chief said, bending down to please.

"Isn't this just a matter of bothering the old man to help us collect the land? Then we can have a good place to live when we enter the county." Ji Ren said with a smile.

The village chief nodded repeatedly, thinking about the money he had received from Ji Ren these days, he smiled from ear to ear, and his dark old face looked like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Zhang Jingshou was careless. He had no interest in the specific operation of land requisition, and he didn't need to. If a group of second-generation people from the imperial capital had an idea, the people below would naturally handle it for them honestly. They are not afraid of others cheating them. After all, cheating their money in the imperial capital is really a matter of life and death. I came here today just to wrap things up. I looked around and found it a bit strange.

Following Ji Ren, he walked in the village and saw that most of the people around him were old people. He said strangely, "It's weird. Why are all the old people in this village? If men go out to work, women and children should always be at home."

Hearing this topic, the village chief's expression changed slightly, and he said calmly: "Because we couldn't catch fish, everyone who could move was moved away, and those who couldn't be moved stayed here. That's it." We are the little old guys left."

"That's it." Zhang Jingshou nodded slightly and asked me how could it be so cheap? It turns out that's the case.

At this moment, a sudden noise came from outside. The village chief's face suddenly turned pale. Zhang Jingshou turned his head and looked in the direction of the village entrance. Four young men came from outside with arrogant faces. The leader looked at the village chief and said : "Old man, you sold the land of my father-in-law's family, but you didn't give me the money. You are an old fool, you still want me to relax your muscles and bones."

When the village chief saw this man, he subconsciously showed a look of fear, and emotions of disgust and resentment flashed across his eyes.

"Who is this man? Why, you sold his father-in-law's land and didn't communicate with him." Zhang Jingshou looked at the village chief in confusion and thought to himself, who is this kid? He walks more arrogantly than me? I really wanted to break his legs.

"No, that land belongs to our Yao Village and has nothing to do with his Su Village." The village chief explained quickly.

"Why doesn't it matter? That's my father-in-law's land. Old man, don't think about being destitute. And you two want to buy my land and give money to that old man. It's no use. Give the money to me. Sixty-two acres of land." The young man pointed arrogantly at Ji Ren and Zhang Jingshou.

"Sixty-two acres of land?" Zhang Jingshou suddenly frowned. Although he didn't care much about the specific business details, he still knew more or less about the land price. The fields in Yaojia Village were not fertile, and the villagers mainly engaged in fishing. To make a living, an average piece of land costs only six taels of silver, which is ten times the amount.

"That's right, it's sixty taels of silver, even one tael less won't do." The young man said arrogantly.

"What should I do? If I don't give it to him, can't I get the land?" Zhang Jingshou looked at him, frowned, and turned to look at Ji Rendao.

"No, the land deed has been handed over, and everything belongs to us. Even if we sue the government, we are justified," Ji Ren said.

"Then we have a point, is he blackmailing us?" Zhang Jingshou asked again.

"That's right. Poor mountains and harsh waters bring out unruly people. That's probably how it is." Ji Ren said.

"Okay, I know." When Zhang Jingshou heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, he strode over and then slapped the young man in the face with a rounded palm. The young man did not expect that Zhang Jingshou would take action and hurriedly resisted, But if he only cultivated his soul, how could he be the opponent of General Zhang Jingshou? He was knocked unconscious by a slap.

When the young companion saw this, he immediately became furious and attacked Zhang Jingshou. Zhang Jingshou refused anyone who came, and his spiritual power surged. Then he slapped him with several slaps, knocking all four people to the ground three times and five times five times. You Qi slapped them on the face one after another unsatisfactoryly, and cursed: "You are going to blackmail me when you open your mouth. Who gives you the courage? You can also take advantage of me's money?"

He asked Ji Ren before because if it was not tenable in theory, Emperor Qi would punish him after he returned.

But now the truth is on his side. No one can say anything about the blackmailed prince and Zhang Jingshou crippled him.

Looking at this scene, Ji Ren's eyes shone slightly. Sure enough, he was just like in the game, he was arrogant, domineering and greedy. He didn't need to do anything, someone came over, and he didn't need to do anything next.
