The Poor Son-in-Law of the Tang Dynasty

The Ye Chen he knew was not such a person!
Hou Junji followed beside him with a serious face, but seemed taciturn.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, he just smiled lightly and didn't say much.

He didn't want to make too many comments on Ye Chen, but he felt that Ye Chen was a capable person, but the momentary glory meant nothing.

I want him to change his view of Ye Chen, unless Ye Chen can make another great contribution and be promoted to a higher position.

It is nothing to be able to achieve a brilliant record, and it is worthy of his admiration for Hou Junji to be able to maintain and stabilize his brilliant record.

Hou Junji can be regarded as one of the few humble generals under Li Shimin, but no matter how humble he is, he is also the founding general of the country and has made great military exploits. For a junior like Ye Chen, he naturally has his pride.

While thinking depressedly, Li Shimin came outside the city, ready to look for Ye Chen's trace.

Under normal circumstances, people who buy manors outside the city are concentrated in a concentrated area of ​​manors about fifteen miles southeast of the suburbs.

Many dignitaries and dignitaries also have their own private manors here, some are rewarded by the emperor, and some are bought by themselves.

However, most of them were rewarded by the emperor. As an official, there are not many people who are "rich" and can buy manors here.

The manors here are expensive, but the worst manor has at least one hectare of land.

One hectare of land!
About fifteen acres of land.

Datang implements the land equalization system, and if Ye Chen buys a manor, he can only buy a manor with one hectare of land under the premise of not violating the law.

Because according to the law, citizens of the Great Tang Empire can obtain a hectare of land when they become adults.

But usually, with a little bit of status, there is nothing that is not illegal.

An hectare of land is actually not a small amount for ordinary people, but for an official, an hectare of land may not even be enough to fit between teeth.

Because the officials are all rich and powerful, there are so many slaves to support in the family, and the salary given by the officials is limited, if you don’t grow your own food, how can you support so many mouths?

But Ye Chen didn't buy the manor for farming.

For him, there is a big business opportunity waiting for him.

Leading Dianwei around here for a few times, Ye Chen found many familiar faces, all of whom were court officials, who came to live in the manor for two days if they had nothing to do, to cultivate their sentiments.

When Ye Chen saw familiar people, he would say hello twice, but he didn't even bother to answer those who were half-familiar.

"Ye Chen, I heard you want to buy a manor?"

Suddenly, a burly and strong man rushed towards him in a hurry.

Ye Chen heard the sound and took a closer look, and found that it was Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin was tall and burly, but in fact he was fat. When he ran, the flesh on his body was bumpy, as if the pork belly that had been poured with water had become refined.

"Lu Guogong?"

Ye Chen asked with some doubts: "Yeah, why, you have a manor to sell?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Cheng Yaojin swallowed a few saliva anxiously, and directly pulled Ye Chen to a place: "Come with me, I am in a hurry to spend money, can you see if you are interested in my manor?"

Seeing Cheng Yaojin's eagerness, Ye Chen actually felt something was wrong.

This guy doesn't want to cheat himself, does he?

Although he had some doubts in his heart, Ye Chen didn't object, so it didn't hurt to follow along.

All the way to Cheng Yaojin's manor, far away, Ye Chen can see that his family's manor is big, spacious and luxurious, but he doesn't seem to farm much, but raises a lot of beef cattle.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes wide.

No wonder the death of Cheng Yaojin's cattle has become a historical mystery. It turns out that Cheng Yaojin really loves beef!
Ye Chen couldn't remember how many weird excuses Cheng Yaojin had come up with to eat beef.

What fell ill, lost love, committed suicide by bumping his head into his fist, and was even killed by a meteorite.

In short, in order to eat beef, Cheng Yaojin's IQ can be compared to Zhuge Kongming.

Taking a rough look, Ye Chen could see a vast farmland surrounded by high fences, where at least a hundred cows were kept in captivity.

And these hundreds of cows seem to be mentally abnormal, and they look very strange.

"Lu Guogong, this manor is fine, why do you suddenly want to sell it?"

Although Ye Chen felt very moved, he was still a little vigilant.

"Isn't this the family's urgent need for money? The village in my hometown suffered a disaster and needed a sum of money to rebuild it. I thought about selling this manor and helping them!"

Cheng Yaojin explained seriously.

Is that right?

I do not believe.

Ye Chen shook his head secretly, but on the surface he remained calm.

"Then how much do you plan to pay?"

Ye Chen asked again.

"Here, you can just give me five or six million yuan, I'm not greedy..."

Five to six million yuan, buying such a large manor, it is definitely a bloody profit.

However, Ye Chen faintly felt that he still had room to lower the price.

So Ye Chen squinted his eyes and pretended to be very interested: "Then I'll go in and have a look, Duke Lu doesn't mind?"

"This one……"

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help groaning, appearing a little hesitant.

But he finally gritted his teeth: "Yes, yes, but you can only go in by yourself. I, I feel a little uncomfortable with the smell of cow dung recently, so I won't accompany you..."

Yo heh.

Fresh!
When did Cheng Yaojin become so hypocritical?
Seeing that Cheng Yaojin was so abnormal, Ye Chen felt more and more that he had a ghost.

But Ye Chen was too lazy to speculate on him, so he went to see the manor first.

Entering the manor, the inside looked very clean and tidy. Since Cheng Yaojin was going to sell it, there was no one living here. Only some servants were taking care of the manor and taking care of the beef cattle.

It is forbidden to eat beef in the Tang Dynasty, so raising beef cattle is also not allowed. Cheng Yaojin is also committing crimes against the wind.

More than 100 cows are enough for him to drink a pot if he is sued to the court.

Taking Dian Wei around the entire manor, no problems were found for the time being.

The only problem is the cows.

Finally, Ye Chen came to the open space where the cows were raised, and found a cow at random to check it out.

Ye Chen was inherited by a medical sage. Although it is the skill of treating people, in many cases, the pathology of animals and humans is actually similar, so he can see at a glance what is unusual about this cow.

This cow...was infected with smallpox!

The smallpox virus is an acute infection caused by the cow itself. It is extremely contagious, and the virus is very strong. If it spreads to humans, it is likely that they will die.

According to the medical conditions of this era, once the smallpox virus spreads on a large scale, the capital Chang'an may fall!

No wonder Cheng Yaojin, that bastard, was so eager to let go!

This is the rhythm of wanting to kill myself!
