Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao listened to Bei Chen's report and watched from the window holding Xiao Heng'er.

Xiao Heng'er saw those people beating Shopkeeper Tian. Xiao Pang pointed and was anxious to go down: "Father, beat the bad guys!"

"Don't worry! Xiao Heng'er, your father raises pigs. It will be fun to kill them when they are fat."

Xiao Heng'er: "Father, I don't understand..."

"You're young and stupid!"

"Your son is not stupid!" Kill the pig and eat the meat, huh!

Xie Zhaozhao said: "A country boy, once he became rich, he could become so bad in just a dozen days. It seems that he is evil by nature."

"Well, I'll take Xiao Heng'er to Xujia Village later." Zhou Shaoyu said, "The feng shui there is pretty good."

Xu Li pointed out the place where Xie Zhaozhao's ashes were buried in his "dream", and he wanted to plant flowers and plants there to create the most beautiful garden.

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Since the feng shui is good, I'll go take a look too."

"You don't have to go." Zhou Shaoyu felt uncomfortable when he thought of that place.

The second-rate guys led by Xu Erlang have already taken twenty taels of silver from Manager Tian, ​​and also asked Manager Tian to cook for them.

Shopkeeper Tian begged again and again, saying that he didn't have any ingredients at all and that they were all brought by the guests upstairs.

Xu Erlang and Ying Biao were fed up and insisted on going upstairs to blackmail Xie Zhaozhao and the others.

Shopkeeper Tian knelt down and kowtowed, begging them not to disturb him.

Ying Biao rolled his eyes and said to Xu Erlang, "Young Master Xu, your father is a general and a favorite of His Majesty. You take the lead and let's make a big deal."

Nanxing and Beichen were standing at the door upstairs. Xu Erlang was a little scared and said, "Let's go to the brothel and drink some wine first, and then come back to find them."

Ying Biao laughed loudly: "Okay, I'll listen to Master Xu."

The group of people took away several jars of good wine from Manager Tian before leaving.

Aunt Tian cried, "I have worked for nothing for half a year. I will never open this inn again."

Tian Yaozu clenched his fist and said, "Don't cry, mother. I will make some more money and leave here."

The next day.

Before dawn, Xu Li immediately brought Changming and Bomu to the inn to kowtow to Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao.

He knelt on the ground for a long time without getting up. He felt very guilty and angry because of Xu Erlang's actions.

Xie Zhaozhao asked Yuanyuan to give him a red envelope: "You didn't come yesterday, so as usual, each person gets one red envelope."

Xu Li thanked him again.

Zhou Shaoyu said, "Get up. I want to talk to you about buying all the land in your hometown."

"But at the master's command."

*

The prefect Guo Rong had asked someone to bring all the official uniforms, and a horse-drawn carriage with the prefect's office logo also arrived. He took the carriage to the county government office.

Ying Wenlong never expected that Guo Rong would come to his county government office on the first day of the Lunar New Year. After staying for a while, he quickly welcomed Guo Rong into the county government office.

Guo Rong told him not to be polite and that he had something urgent to discuss with him.

It is said that they received a notice from the imperial court, requiring them to build a large material trading market in the area of ​​Xujia Village, Wang Xiaozhuang (next to Xujia Village), and Wangji (next to Xujia Village).

The government will pay a high price to purchase the land. For example, normally an acre of high-quality farmland costs ten to twenty strings of coins, but this time the government will purchase it at fifty to one hundred strings of coins per acre.

An acre of medium-quality farmland can be sold for thirty or forty strings of cash.

Ying Wenlong drooled when he heard this: Five times more!

If a market were built in this place, it would be very easy for people around it to become rich.

Ying Wenlong asked, "Have you really chosen Wen County? The market can be built near the county seat, which will be more convenient to manage."

He wanted to live in the suburbs of Beijing. His father-in-law was a big landlord in Wen County and owned tens of thousands of acres of fertile land outside the city.

Guo Rong said: "The areas around Xujia Village are closer to the border and would be more suitable for building a trading post. I am not here to discuss this with you, I am here to inform you."

Ying Wenlong swallowed his saliva, he had to get involved.

He immediately asked his son to pass the message to his father-in-law, and to the heads of Xujia Village, Wang Xiaozhuang, and Wangji, to tell them that the prefect was going to buy land there to build a market.

Tell them to hurry over there and buy the land in advance, and even buy some dilapidated houses and old yards at low prices early on without the local people knowing.

Buy land at a low price and sell it to the government at a high price, making huge profits.

Buy a residential plot near the market and open an inn or a restaurant and you can make a lot of money there later.

Nanxing Beichen stared at Ying Wenlong and found that he not only secretly sent letters to his father-in-law, but also tipped off those villages.

Soon, Ying Wenlong's father-in-law was seen sending different people to Xujia Village, Wang Xiaozhuang, and Wangji to find the village headmen to buy land and residential sites.

In just two days, all the old houses and abandoned residential plots in Xujia Village, Wang Xiaozhuang and Wangji were bought out.

Some people even offered twice the price per acre to lure villagers to sell their land.

Land is the lifeblood of the common people, and generally no one will sell land.

Suddenly, a landlord came to buy land and even bought the dilapidated houses and old houses in the village at high prices. This in itself was very strange.

So they refused to sell.

On the third day of the New Year, Xu Li returned to Xujia Village with Zhou Shaoyu's instructions.

He brought Xu Erlang with him when he went.

Xu Li and Xu Erlang returned to Xujia Village and said that they had found craftsmen to repair their parents' tomb. When Xu Tiezhu saw him come back, he came up to him and asked for money.

The village head and Mr. Xu Erye immediately and enthusiastically took Xu Li to their home.

Mr. Xu stopped pretending to be so arrogant and asked Xu Li, "Xiao Pang, did you know that the government is going to build a market here?"

"I know, but I'm not particularly clear. I'm from the Ministry of War, and I don't have anything to do with the Ministry of Revenue."

The head of the village and Mr. Xu hurriedly said, "We are going to establish a market here to trade with Tubo, Nanzhao, Pyu and other countries. Did you know that? If the market is opened in our area, our descendants will become rich."

Xu Li nodded and said, "Okay, this is a good thing!"

"But Wang Xiaozhuang and Wang Ji are both arguing, and we don't have many people above us. Can you see if you can get a say over there?"

Xu Li said: "Then I'll give it a try. I know Mr. Guo."

Wow, Lord Governor, Xu Li knows you!

Then this market must be built in Xujia Village.

The village head said to Xu Li, "Several landlords have come in the past two days. They have been buying a lot of land in our village, Wang Xiaozhuang, and Wangji. The price they paid is twice as high as usual. What price does the government plan to give?"

Xu Li said honestly: "From what I heard from Lord Guo, it's five times the price!"

Five times! Hiss~

Damn the landlords, no wonder they were willing to pay twice as much, if they sold it to the government, they could get five times the subsidy, so they made four times the profit after reselling it! !

The news that the government would offer five times the price spread quickly, and soon no one in the three villages was willing to sell their land.

Ying Wenlong's father-in-law and relatives were sent to buy land. Even those who had agreed with the deal at the beginning changed their minds and refused to sell the land.

As a last resort, they offered three or even four times the price, but no one was buying.

When we are stupid, we get four times the price. How nice it would be if we sold it to the government, we get five times the price!

The land can be sold for five times the price, and then a market can be set up here to continue making big money.

Xu Li revealed the news to the villagers. Outside, Xu Erlang was already very proud in the village.

Look, our clothes are fox fur!

Look at my shoes, suede boots!

Look, these two servants are here to serve us!

Xu Erlang was wearing a fur coat and leather boots, with a valuable jade pendant hanging around his waist. He looked like the son of a very wealthy landlord.

Xu Tiezhu asked, "What does your fourth uncle take you to do?"

"I live in a big tiled house, eat in restaurants, eat chicken, duck, fish and meat for every meal, and eat with Mr. Ying and his people. Mr. Ying's nephews now fawn over me and call me big brother."

"You're really good if you can be friends with him."

Xu Erlang was so happy that he took out one tael of silver from his pocket and gave it to Liu Ermei: "Others gave me twenty taels of silver as a gift, but it was all spent on drinking yesterday, so I only have this one tael left."

"Twenty taels, that's enough for our family to eat and use for several years!" Liu Ermei said excitedly while holding the piece of silver. "If someone else gives you a gift, you should leave some for your family, don't spend it all."

Xu Dalang's eyes were blazing with anger, and he suppressed his anger and said, "Erlang, you are adopted by your fourth uncle, don't forget to help your brother."

Xu Erlang had disliked him for a long time. When he left last time, Xu Dalang threatened Xu Erlang and wanted to stop him from being adopted!

"Everyone has his own destiny. I am the son of my fourth uncle. His money is mine. Why should I give it to you?"

He wanted to be advanced and tried hard to speak "Mandarin". Even though his rap sounded weird, he felt that he was much more advanced than Xu Dalang, a peasant.

Xu Dalang wanted to hit him, but Xu Erlang waved his hand arrogantly: "Changming, hit him!"

Chang Ming walked up to Xu Da Lang, picked up a wooden stick, and knocked it against his leg. The stick, which was as thick as an arm, broke into two pieces. He said, "Xu Da Lang, please respect yourself!"

Bo Mu jumped onto a three-meter-high tree in an instant, then landed lightly on the ground, and made a sword flower towards Xu Dalang with the soft sword in his hand.

Xu Dalang was filled with hatred. He looked at Xu Erlang viciously and said, "Just wait and see!"

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, a young man dressed extremely luxuriously came to Xujia Village, driving a luxurious carriage.

When you get to the village, look for the head of the village.

To buy land.

The price is eight times the market price.

The nobleman spoke fluent Mandarin and looked very kind. He smiled and said, "I heard that the government wants to set up a market here and requisition land. The compensation for the people is also very high, five times the price. So, I will buy it at eight times the price. I will buy as much as I can."

Not to mention the head of the village, everyone in the village was moved.

Even if the land left by our ancestors is eight times as much, if you like farming, you can just buy some somewhere else, one acre for eight acres, what a bargain!

Besides, the head of the village said that they would punish anyone who refused to sell, and no one could interfere with the establishment of a trading market here and prevent future generations from making a fortune.

The head of the village asked someone to find Xu Li and ask him to help find out what price the government had offered.

Xu Li said with certainty that it was five times.

The head of the village and Mr. Xu and his companions immediately gathered all the important people in the village to discuss the matter. Finally, they agreed with the foreign nobleman to give ten times the amount!

But they only planned to give the villagers eight times as much.

The village chief, the head of the village, and the clan leader secretly embezzled twice the amount.

The head of the village and Mr. Xu tried their best to make it happen, and finally the nobleman from another place bought the land at ten times the price, and both parties signed a contract.

It was at this time that the head of the village heard from the other servant that the young man was Su Zhe, the counselor of Zhou Huan, the prince of Qi.

So, the one who bought the land was Prince Qi?

Everyone feels more reliable.

The deed was signed quickly, and most people in Xujia Village put their fingerprints on it. The village head did not force anyone who did not want to sell their land.

He just told them that if their business was disrupting the market construction, he would bring people to tear down their houses.

The nobleman gave them silver bills, all of which were brand new.

Everyone paid the money first and then went through the formalities. No one dared to refuse the Prince Qi's money, and the land was transferred in the town that same day.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the prefect Guo, the county magistrate Ying, and a luxurious carriage came to Xujia Village.

It turned out that the young master had sold all his land to the government.

The village head and Mr. Xu specifically asked Mr. Guo: "Excuse me, sir, how much silver is one mu of land purchased by the government?"

The attendant beside Lord Guo immediately replied, "Five times the market price! With this silver, you can go to the city and buy a shop."

The villagers were delighted. The government only paid five times the price, but Jiangsu and Zhejiang spent ten times the price. It turns out there are fools in this world! !
