After the land was bought, tens of thousands of acres of government land in the surrounding area were used. About 100,000 acres of land was organized, and Zhou Shaoyu immediately arranged it and built a garden.

Ask Guo Rong to supervise the whole process and find the best craftsmen to design and build it.

It is impossible to build a market in Xujia Village.

Lizhou has several options. If you don’t choose Xujia Village, there is a better border town - Changhe Town.

The towns where Changhe Town and Xujia Village are located are like two horns of a cow, one in the south of Lizhou and the other in the north of Lizhou.

Xujia Village was originally going to be a market, but it gave up on that and built a garden instead.

A garden in her memory that he would never tell anyone about.

The market was chosen to be located in Changhe Town.

However, the government kept silent about this news, and Zhou Shaoyu did not want to pay five times the price to buy Changhe Town.

Guo Rong stepped forward and bought up all the relatively concentrated land outside Xujia Village in the name of Lizhou Prefecture, except for the government land.

It was not requisitioned without compensation, but was purchased at five times the market price. It was written in black and white, and no dynasty could deny it.

As for Xujia Village being deceived, it was because they were too greedy!

This piece of land was specially designated by Zhou Shaoyu, and only Xu Li and Zhou Shaoyu understood it.

In Xu Li's dream, that was the 100,000 acres of land that expanded outward from the tomb where Xie Zhaozhao, Xie Anfeng, and Xie Yu were buried.

After Guo Rong bought the land, he followed Zhou Shaoyu's instructions and built high walls around the land.

A real high wall is similar to a city wall, tall and thick.

The head of Xujia Village, Mr. Xu, only realized at this time that the big man who came to buy the land in a carriage was the governor, the highest official in Lizhou.

They were extremely happy and thought that a trading post would indeed be established here and the country would become very prosperous in the future.

Xu Li, a eunuch, is nothing!

When the wall was being built, the village heads of Xujia Village, Wang Xiaozhuang and Wangji all asked if they could recruit workers from their own village to build the wall, and the wages were estimated to be quite high.

Lord Guo ignored them and directly asked the Lizhou governor to mobilize 5,000 soldiers from the army to build the wall.

The villagers who lost their land could only watch the busy soldiers.

No one told them what was being built here, and they all thought it was a market.

"When will you be able to finish building it?" Mr. Xu asked a small leader.

"At least half a year!" The little leader looked at Mr. Xu and said kindly, "Why don't you go to the city to buy a shop?"

Mr. Xu asked, "This will be a market in the future. We can build a shop on the homestead. Merchants will come here and need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate anyway."

The little leader smiled and said meaningfully: "You'd better go buy a shop."

Mr. Xu was frightened by his laughter. When he asked again, the man refused to say anything. So Mr. Xu hurried to find the head of the village.

The head of the village felt a little uneasy and went to inquire immediately.

Someone got an "inside" piece of information, saying that this was not a trading post at all, but that a prince was going to build a tomb here.

Tomb! Grave!

Yes, Su Zhe who came to buy the land is the aide of Prince Qi, Prince Qi may be almost finished...

Mr. Xu Erye and Mr. Xu Lizheng were so angry that their blood almost flowed back. They sold all the land left by their ancestors, but in the end someone built a huge tomb right at their doorstep!

Can people still live in their village?

The key point is, this tomb does not belong to ordinary people, it belongs to the royal family and the prince, they dare not even make trouble.

The whole village was panicked and went to ask the people in Wang Xiaozhuang. The head of Wang Xiaozhuang was also panicked and hurried to inquire, but the news was not entirely true.

Ask those people who are surveying the land and transporting bricks and stones, they are just soldiers doing the work and know nothing.

The little leader said that he saw someone going to the city and town to inquire about shops.

The people in Xujia Village were really panicked.

Looking for Xu Li everywhere.

Xu Li was not there. The gatekeeper of his courtyard said that the prefect was looking for his two brothers and there was some progress.

But the situation was very bad and General Xu was very angry.

The head of the village and Mr. Xu were shocked when they heard the news. What the hell is going on? So many bad things happened.

If anything happened to Xu Erlei and Xu Sanduo, Xu Li would not only not help Xujia Village, but he would be lucky if he didn't join in trampling the people of Xujia Village to death.

"Uncle, what should we do? Should we rush to seize the shops, yards, and land?" The head of the village was a little confused.

Their land is gone, they won’t be able to find work in the future, and there’s a tomb at their doorstep!

Mr. Xu quickly gathered all the Xu family members and told them the news. Everyone was immediately shocked.

"My grandfather bought me a few acres of land, and you forced us to sell it, saying that we could make a fortune in the future with a market, but now you are building a tomb for me. You have to compensate me for my land!"

"Don't you have a solution?"

"I don't care, as long as it's not a market, give my land back to me..."

The head of the village and Mr. Xu shouted, "Hurry up and go to the other towns to grab some land. It's too late. All the land has been taken by Wang Xiaozhuang and Wang Ji."

Buying land and yards was something the villagers had never experienced in their lives. They were timid and fearful to begin with, and they felt like leaving the village was like dying, so they cried and wailed.

The head of the village and Mr. Xu called their children and relatives to quickly buy land and a yard. It was useless to talk to anyone at this time because the land was bought by the government, and they were willing to buy and sell in the first place, and no one forced them to sell.

Before Xu Tiezhu's parents died, they left them ten acres of good farmland and ten acres of inferior farmland. It was agreed that the eldest brother would get eight acres, and the other three brothers would get four acres each. However, Xu Tiezhu sold all his brothers' land and took twenty acres for himself.

This time, he sold ten acres of top-quality farmland and got 1,600 taels of silver. He was so happy that he almost went crazy.

Even if I do nothing for the rest of my life, this amount of money would be enough for my family's food and drink expenses.

Looking at Mr. Xu and the head of the village anxiously buying a house, a yard and land, Xu Tiezhu couldn't understand why they should buy anything. Wouldn't it be nice to just lie down and take a good sleep?

Mr. Xu and the head of the village have much more land than him. In fact, Mr. Xu owns more than 200 acres of fertile land, making him a landlord in Xujia Village.

He made more than 30,000 taels of silver from selling the land alone, so why is he still making such a fuss?

He thought so and said it out loud. Master Xu was so angry that he pointed at him and scolded, "Are you only thinking about eating and drinking for the rest of your life? More than a thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, but you are living off the land and your descendants will have to beg for food. Do you know that? Before your parents died, they tried to leave you 20 acres of land. What are you going to leave for your descendants?"

After hearing this, Xu Dalang and Xu Sanlang became anxious.

Xu Sanlang was only thirteen years old, but he knew that all the money was in the hands of his father and mother, and his eldest brother also got a part, and he had nothing.

"Dad, let's buy a shop right away. It should have a yard at the back. We can do business in the front and live in the back. It should be a big tiled house!"

Xu Tiezhu said: "I don't dare to go to the city. There are too many street kids there. We can't afford to offend them."

"Then let's go to town." Xu Sanlang gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, how about you give me some money so I can open a shop and settle down so I can take my parents to the city to live a good life?"

You can enjoy life, but you can’t ask for money!

Liu Ermei held her pockets tightly, as she felt uneasy with the money in anyone's hands. She only felt most at ease when it was hanging on her belt.

Xu Sanlang blushed with anger: "Okay, if you don't pay, we will all sit here and wait to see the big tomb at the door. Maybe when we go out at night, we can meet a prince in a sedan chair."

Before Xu Tiezhu's family could reach a consensus, they heard a commotion at the entrance of the village and someone shouting in a crying voice.

Xu Dalang and his family hurried out to watch the fun.

Mr. Xu's son and grandson looked terrified and cried as if Mr. Xu was dead.

"Uncle, what happened?" Xu Dalang asked hurriedly.

"The banknotes are all fake!" said Mr. Xu's son angrily.

The blood in Xu Dalang's body was about to freeze.

Those in the village who were still hesitating about whether to go out and buy land were stunned, and they surrounded Mr. Xu's son and grandson and returned to Mr. Xu's house.

The head of the village hurried over, and Aunt Xu San was so panicked that she ran over without even putting on her shoes to ask what happened.

Master Xu leaned on his dragon-headed cane and loudly reprimanded them in a dignified manner: "It is basic cultivation to stay calm when encountering things. Why are you shouting and yelling?"

His eldest grandson said angrily: "It's already this time, why are you still pretending? I'm telling you, the banknote is fake!"

"What's wrong?" Mr. Xu's body shook. His wife wanted to help him up, but he glared at her. His wife was so scared that she quickly retracted her hand.

"Dad, that guy named Su Zhe is a liar. He took all the land from us and gave us fake silver notes that look real."

"Are you sure?"

"It's confirmed! We went to buy a shop, but the owner was worried and took us to a bank. A clerk at the bank checked and said that the notes were all fake and the seals were fake hand-carved seals."

Mr. Xu's son showed the fake banknotes to Mr. Xu while crying. His grandson added: "The people at the bank said that the seals were probably carved from radishes."

After he finished speaking, Mr. Xu rolled his eyes and fell backwards.

All the villagers who heard what happened at the door immediately ran back home, took out their own banknotes, and hurriedly compared them with those of Mr. Xu's family!

Exactly the same! !

Those who had banknotes in hand cried bitterly.

They didn't dare to confront the government, so with red eyes, they took hoes and smashed the homes of the head of the village and Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu, who was rescued by the doctor, was beaten and scolded again and passed out.

The head of the village owned more than 80 acres of land, and he and Mr. Xu also withheld 20% of the villagers' silver, so he had the most counterfeit goods on hand.

He was worried, so he took the fake banknotes to the county bank for identification, and ran into the clerk squatting at the door of the bank (Xie Zhaozhao: Isn’t this Xiuning?).

When Xiu Ning heard that they were from Xujia Village, he sighed and said, "How did you receive so many fake banknotes?"

After the village head got confirmation that the banknotes he had were all fake, he stumbled to the county to report the case.

Mr. Ying has gone to investigate the people's sentiments and is not in the government office.

The constable took the case and went to investigate immediately. He went to the bank first, and sure enough, he met a "young man" at the door of the bank.

The "boy" insisted: "Fake banknotes."

Xujia Village.

A luxurious carriage passed slowly at the entrance of the village. Someone lifted the curtain and looked at the crazy villagers, with the corners of his lips curled up.

"Guan Yan, go and collect all those banknotes. Tell them that you are the young master of the bank and you want to collect some fake banknotes for research."

"Master, how do I collect it?"

"One or two for one."

"Puff!" Xie Zhaozhao stretched out his hand and pinched Zhou Shaoyu's chin, "Your Majesty is so wicked!"

Zhou Shaoyu looked at her with a pair of dark eyes: "Madam, are you teasing your husband?"

"Tell me, did you accept those fake banknotes to destroy the evidence?"

"Who said that was a fake banknote?"
