As for where Old Man Zhang could go, of course he would go to the market.

He has been farming all his life, and now that he has stabilized and is a farmer, he always feels that there is no land, and he is very uneasy.

He wandered to the busy market and inquired about Ren Yazi's location.

At this time, Renyazi not only bought and sold people and livestock, but also engaged in the business of selling civilian fields.

The business in Renyazi in the capital is very good, and the people coming and going are very lively. Most of them are servants and stewards from various houses.

Old man Zhang observed carefully for a long time and saw a young man who was the most kind and would not deceive others when doing business.

He waited for the young man to relax before walking over.

"I want to buy twenty acres of medium-sized farmland. How much does it cost here?"

Old man Zhang opened his mouth and said that the last steward who had just left looked like he had bought high-quality farmland.

Now that the drought and flood have just passed, the people are in dire straits. In order to have enough food and clothing, many people have chosen to sell off their property or sell their children, praying to be able to work as slaves in a wealthy family, and then redeem them when they are able in the future.

There are more people selling land, but not many people buying land, so land is nearly half cheaper than before.

The young man was quite tall and looked very talented, but he had been living outside all year round and his appearance was a bit rough.

He saw an old man with bright eyes and a strong body, but with a few gray hairs. The first thing he said when he saw him was to tell him his needs and ask for a price.

He is a businessman and he likes customers like this the most.

At the same time, he also felt that this person also trusted him.

He replied: "The current price for a middle field is three and a half taels of silver, and for twenty acres it is seventy taels."

Seeing the old man opposite looking at him, he added: "The prices I offer are fair. I can take you to inspect the fields first."

Old man Zhang nodded when he heard the latter sentence.

He also observed that other families would not take buyers to inspect their fields.

As a veteran farmer, he naturally knows that although the fields are classified into good and bad, some unscrupulous merchants will sprinkle some farmyard manure and mix it with silt on the surface around the inferior fields to turn it into fluffy mud to deceive buyers.

Old man Zhang said something to the young man, then hurried back home and called his sons out.

Everyone in the Zhang family was a little surprised when they heard that Old Man Zhang wanted to buy land.

But they are also a little happy. Although they now have a house in the city, they currently don't even have a source of income.

The presence of fields means there are roots.

Xia Yunrou took out one hundred taels and handed it to Old Man Zhang.

"Grandpa, this is our little thought. You can use it to buy land."

Old man Zhang was very pleased to see it, but he did not take it.

Xia Yunrou said again: "Grandpa, just take it. It's just after the natural disaster and it's probably the cheapest time. The price may increase after a while. If you don't buy it now, don't regret it later."

Seeing this, other members of the Zhang family also took out their private money.

Mrs. Zhang said happily: "That's right, buy them all, buy twenty acres of high-quality fertile land, so that we don't have to spend money to buy food for another half a year."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Finally, Old Man Zhang took his sons and more than three hundred taels and went to find the young man.

The land near the capital basically belongs to either the royal family or various aristocratic families. It can be said that it has a price but no market.

The young man who took Old Man Zhang to inspect the fields had a surname of Ke and a given name of You.

He owns a carriage himself, so he can take people to inspect the fields.

On the way, he and Old Man Zhang explained in detail the prices within a few dozen miles of the capital.

The closer you are to the capital, the more expensive the land is.

The three and a half middle field he was talking about was on the edge of Lingcheng, an affiliated city adjacent to the capital.

Although Lingcheng is a subsidiary city of the capital, it is not very prosperous. Instead, it is surrounded by military camps of the capital's defenders.

Therefore, land prices are relatively cheaper.

It took them more than two hours to drive there.

Old Man Zhang had inquired about the surrounding areas of the capital at the market, so he was mentally prepared.

But Boss Zhang didn't. Seeing that he was getting further and further away from the city, he became more and more disappointed. He thought that he could buy a land close to home with half a share, so that he could leave late and return early.

Although Zhang Lao Er and Zhang Lao San were a little disappointed, they could accept it.

Their luck is relatively good. The high-grade farmland and medium-grade farmland they want to buy are almost all together.

Old Man Zhang checked carefully for a long time. Seeing that it was getting late, he signed the contract with Ke You. They will wait until they get the land deed from the government office early tomorrow morning, so that the land can truly belong to them.

As for Zhang Shuchuan, he thought he could dominate the entire academy with his strong memory, but he didn't expect that he was knocked back to his original form in the first class.

What were you most afraid of when you were studying? !

Not Ingrid Xu, nor Zhou Shuren, but classical Chinese translated into vernacular! !

He tried his best to shrink his body, but in this class, the teacher could see the real tall people at a glance.

"Fang and beauty are mixed together, but the quality of Zhao is still intact. Classmate Zhang, please tell me what you think of this sentence!"

Zhang Shuchuan: ...What are you afraid of?

He could only pretend that he was deaf and did not hear.

Master Li on the stage repeated it loudly.

All the students looked at Zhang Shuchuan.

This time, he couldn't pretend anymore.

He gave Lu Qiyuan a hard look.

Lu Qiyuan was still looking at him with admiration, not understanding what Zhang Shuchuan meant at all.

Helpless, Zhang Shuchuan could only reply with an embarrassed look: The students don't know, please ask the teacher to teach.

Everyone was a little disappointed, and the adoration value dropped a lot.

Master Li was not angry either, but talked about it again.

This time, Zhang Shuchuan had no choice but to listen a little.

It seems that no matter what era it is, reading is both loved and hated!

I finally made it to the end of get out of class, and after a short break, there was another Four Books and Five Classics class.

Fortunately, he was not asked to answer any more questions.

There was not a book on his desk, only pen, ink, paper and inkstones spread on the felt.

This set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones cost only four or five taels, but it made Old Man Zhang very distressed.

Because I didn’t know what class the teacher was going to teach, I didn’t dare to buy those expensive books.

At this time, he was a little bored as he listened to the teacher sitting at the front of the classroom shaking his head as he read the Analects and then explained it.

Then I grabbed the brush and started drawing on the paper.

When he was a child, his family's conditions were quite good, so he learned calligraphy and painting.

It's just that I haven't held it for many years, so it's a bit rusty.

If not, based on his speed in answering questions today and his correct answers, he should be assigned to Class C.

The words are beautiful and can make others feel happy.

When Lu Qiyuan saw Zhang Shuchuan lowering his head seriously, he couldn't help but put his head over.

Then, he opened his mouth wide.
