Tang Bohu Marries Qiuxiang

Chapter 25 New Home
Wude's words awakened Tang Bohu. He really didn't have much power. Compared with those veterans in the capital, he was not enough to be a newcomer. The capital was a few miles ahead. Tang Bohu stopped the motorcade and told himself His father said: "Father, let's not stay in the capital! Find a place to stay outside the capital."

Hearing his son's words, Tang Guangde didn't ask any more questions but said, "You already have a wife and an official position, so you don't need to discuss everything with your father."

Wude said to Tang Bohu: "The poor monk has a place for Tang benefactor to settle down."

Hearing his words, Tang Bohu looked at him suspiciously, "Where!"

"Follow the poor monk." Wude took Tang Bohu away from the official road, and walked eastward to a small village, "This is what the poor monk said. After arriving in the capital, the land was sold to the government.”

"That means this Zhuangzi is now owned by the public?" Tang Bohu said looking at the fields and farm houses in the Zhuangzi.

"Of course!" Wude said while pinching the Buddhist beads: "If the benefactor Tang wants to buy this farm, the poor monk can introduce you to the local county magistrate and sell this land to you. Although this place is next to the capital, But it is also very hidden and will not attract too many people's attention, it is a good place for Donor Tang to develop his own power."

"You seem to be very familiar with the capital." Tang Bohu looked at Wude, the monk had an intriguing smile on his face, and from the moment he met this monk, Tang Bohu had a very strange feeling, this guy seemed to be waiting on the official road. I tried to persuade myself not to stay in the capital, and even introduced this manor to myself. What's more, the monk was very familiar with the local county magistrate. The coincidence was often too much, so it was not a coincidence.

Wude seemed to have seen through Tang Bohu's thoughts and continued: "The poor monk knows Tang's benefactor's doubts, but please believe the benefactor, everything the poor monk does is to help you."

Looking at the manor, Tang Bohu went on to say: "Although I don't know whether you have good intentions or malicious intentions, you are right about one thing. Now I am just a small family of Jinyiwei, with no power or power. Once I have If you make a mistake, it is very likely that you will harm your family."

"Amitabha, benefactor, you have enlightened!" Wude said very piously.

"This Zhuangzi is not bad. There is a mountain between the north and the south of the capital, and it is not far from the capital! It is very good. If something happens, you can advance or retreat! I want this Zhuangzi!" Tang Bohu continued: "But I I want to know what your purpose is for pointing me like this, and what benefits you can get."

"Benefactor Tang, you are very smart. Naturally, the poor monk's thoughts cannot be hidden from the eyes of the benefactor, but the poor monk is on the side of the benefactor Tang. I am not your enemy!" Wude replied.

When Tang Bohu walked into the manor, there were hundreds of Jin Yiwei with knives. It was a big scene!The peasants who had been working turned their eyes one after another, seeing so many Jinyiwei, an old villager came hurriedly with a cane, "This official, why did you come to our Zhuangzi?"

Tang Bohu helped the old chief who was about to salute and said, "I want to buy your manor and settle down here."

"Oh!" The old village head stared at the head, and the villagers gathered in front of Tang Bohu one by one. Wude came with the county magistrate. This monk invited a county magistrate?Is he just a monk?Tang Bohu once again had doubts about Wude's identity.

"Are you the one hundred households who want to buy Zhuangzi?" The county magistrate looked at Tang Bohu and said again: "The whole Zhuangzi covers a total of 200 hectares, and there are [-] farmers! If you want to buy signatures and paintings, you will pay [-] taels of silver!"

200 taels, the current land price is not very expensive!Tang Bohu nodded, handed over the money, and signed it!After the necessary procedures were completed, the county magistrate took the money and left in a blissful manner.

"My lord, the villagers are here." Tian San whispered beside Tang Bohu.

"Okay!" Tang Bohu nodded and said loudly to the villagers: "From now on, I will be the owner of your village. Let me ask you! How did the government collect rent from you tenants in the past?"

The old village head stepped forward and said: "My lord, the government used to draw four out of ten!"

The villagers are very nervous about the new owner. The pressure from the government is indeed great, but they can barely make ends meet. What if the new owner collects more rent?

Tang Bohu said: "The government draws four out of ten, so now I only need one out of ten!"

One out of ten!The farm households received less than the official family, which they did not expect. Although the new farm owner met for the first time, there is no difference between the field and free farming under the premise of [-] out of [-].

Everyone said in unison: "Thank you, the owner."

Although he said so, the villagers were still wary of the new owner. Looking at their expressions, Tang Bohu had to say that he had done a poor job of being close to the people.

"Benefactor Tang." Wude interrupted Tang Bohu's thoughts and said, "I have something to ask the benefactor to help."

"Speak!" Tang Bohu nodded in agreement.

Wude took the lead and walked in front, "Benefactor Tang comes with me."

Leaving Zhuangzi to his parents to take care of, Tang Bohu followed Wude out of Zhuangzi to a forest land, and then he saw a dilapidated thatched cottage.

"Is this the place?" Tang Bohu asked.

Wude pushed open the door, and what he saw was a group of ragged little beggars

"Wu De!" A large group of children came up to Wu De, chirping around Wu De, "Why did you come back?"

"Have you finished eating the food left for you last time?"

"Well. I just finished eating yesterday!" A child stood up and said, looking at the people around Wude, he said, "Who is this person?"

"He is my friend!" Wude explained: "He will take care of you for me in the future. I have to do something and go out for a long time. You have to listen to this brother these days."

When he saw these skinny orphans, Tang Bohu was touched in his heart, "What's wrong with this child?"

"They are all orphans." Wude said: "I also found them by chance. I have been giving them food and taking care of them all these years."

"Benefactor Tang, as long as you can take in these children, those few boxes of money will be considered as gifts from me," Wude said to Tang Bohu frankly.

"Even if I don't have the money, I will still take care of these children." Tang Bohu said: "Wu De, you don't have to be so mercenary as I think.

"It's a blessing for the poor monk to know you." Wude said piously: "Although Donor Tang seems to be mercenary, and he is very ruthless and decisive in doing things, but I can see that you are a good person, a really good person."
