"That Imperial City Temple of Monk Huineng?" the source of the voice was an old man.

The old man is very ordinary, both in clothing and appearance, there are a few strands of snow-white beard floating in the wind on his chin, which looks a little messy, and his hair is only tied with a wooden hairpin, which looks as if he just folded a branch from the old locust tree, and then inserted it at will, and it is still densely covered with tree lines, but under a closer look, you can find that the wooden hairpin is shiny and shiny, and it is something that has been used for a long time. He was dressed in a wide cloth shirt, bent over and barefoot, like an ordinary old peasant, tending to the ground under his feet.

After hearing his grandson's voice, he slowly straightened up, turned around, frowned slightly, and said slowly: "This old monk is weird!"

As he said this, a terrifying glint gradually appeared in the old man's cloudy eyes, and then gradually calmed down.

Wan Shijun asked curiously, "What's weird?"

The old man smiled slyly: "This old monk is very old!"

"Huh?" Wan Shijun looked at his grandfather strangely, thinking that your old man is not young!

As if feeling the urging of his grandson, the old man glared at Wan Shijun, and then said quietly: "He has always been so old. ”

Wan Shijun was stunned for a moment, seemed to understand something, and asked in an uncertain tone: "This has always been ...... How long?"

The old man smiled and replied, "When I was as young as you." ”

Wan Shijun's eyes widened instantly, his mouth was open, his face was full of incredulity, and after being silent for a long time, he stammered and asked, "Could it be ...... Is Buddhism really that powerful?"

The old man smiled and said nothing, but another old man who was squatting on the edge of the field shook his wrist lightly and threw the shovel into the field, and the shovel disappeared immediately, but it was Qi Gen who sank into the dirt, and said to himself: "There is a fart! The bald donkey should be damned! The bald donkey is not a human at all!"

Wan Shijun looked at Wan Ping, who was usually quiet and serene, and was inexplicably shocked, but when he keenly captured a terrifying scar on Wan Ping's wrist, he was a little sudden, and then smiled stupidly.

"My cabbage!ahhh

Wan Ping glanced down and muttered softly, "Isn't this all ripe......"

But the old man jumped up like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, and shouted: "Fart! Fart! The one next to it has just arrived, and this one will have to be half an hour younger!"

Wan Ping looked down left and right, and then muttered in a low voice: "Who has such a good memory as you!"

When the old man heard this, he even dared to talk back, and immediately began to chatter again: "You said that you can't even tell the difference between the roots and seedlings! After so many years, how many times have you said that you were wrong? Why don't you have a long memory? It's a shame that you are still a grandmaster......

"Is this shovel going to be dug out?" Wan Ping raised his head and looked at his old master blankly, and asked a very important question.

When the old man heard this, he was really stunned for a moment, and then said in a hurry: "Dig! Of course you have to dig! If you don't dig it out, the vegetables that grow here will have the smell of shovels!"

Wan Ping didn't dare to argue with the nitpicky master anymore, so he had no choice but to lower his head and silently march towards the shovel that had gone a little deeper into the ground, and at the same time had to carefully control the strength and scope of the excavation, so as not to hurt the vegetables that the old master regarded as treasures.

Wan Shijun looked at his grandfather who was jumping straight to his feet in the vegetable field like a naughty boy, smiled helplessly, quietly walked out of the small courtyard, and Luo Yi, who had been waiting outside for a long time, immediately greeted him.

"Young Master, are you still coming according to the original plan?" Luo Yi asked.

Wan Shijun smiled and bowed: "Of course!"

"Okay, young master!" he turned and left.

Wan Shijun stood in the distance looking at the majestic Yuzhang City in the distance, suddenly laughed at himself, and then let go of his mind and walked around at will among the mountains and rivers.

Wan Shijun is different! Compared with years ago, his body has lost a lot of weight, a pair of eyes on his skeletal face are getting brighter and brighter, the worry in the corners of his eyes has disappeared without a trace, his eyes are gentle and calm, and he can no longer see the sharpness of his past, like a deep pool, burying all his feelings deep in his heart.

He's been thinking a lot about it these days, and the main thing is that he's knowing a lot, he's knowing a lot of things he didn't know before, so that the things he used to care about so much now don't matter, because those things don't mean anything anymore.

Summer insects can't be winter Japanese ice, and now looking back on the past, my past self was so ridiculous, what do you need to care about? Seven sects and five surnames? It's just a hillbilly!

Today's Yuzhang City is just a larger chessboard for him, a real chessboard! The kind of game in which he picks up a few chess pieces in his spare time to pass the time after an afternoon.

In Yuzhang City, the strange fluctuations in land prices have continued for several days, while the price of cultivated land outside the city is still falling, and Lu Zongbao has stopped buying it, because the cash in his hand is about to run out!

With the loss of buyers, the farmland outside the city quickly fell back to its original price, and the farmers, who were bent on selling their land to get rich overnight, gradually began to forget their duties after such a toss.

It is the spring ploughing season, but there is a large area of untended cultivated land outside Yuzhang City, the cultivated land is fertile, a few days without cooking, the weeds in the field will quickly emerge, and there is a trace of depression in the prosperous years.

However, this qiē has not been taken seriously by the wealthy merchants in Yuzhang City, who have long been disturbed by the fluctuating land prices, where will they care about whether grass grows in the fields outside the city.

In the compound of the Lu family, Yang Fan, who had boiled a few white hairs, anxiously asked Lu Zongbao, "What should we do in this situation now?"

"There's no way...... Lu Zongbao sighed deeply, as if he had made some serious decision, and said helplessly: "Sell the land!"

"What?" Yang Fan exclaimed.

"I said, sell the farmland we have!" Lu Zongbao closed his eyes and said resolutely.

"What, sell?" Yang Fan heard it very clearly this time, so he was even more shocked.

Lu Zongbao nodded with difficulty.

"At the current price?" Yang Fan's voice raised a lot.

Lu Zongbao still nodded silently.

"Do you know what the land price is today? It's only eighty guan an acre!" Yang Fan said sharply.

"I know!" Lu Zongbao opened his eyes, there was no hesitation in his eyes, and his face was resolute.

"Then you still sell it? We bought it for hundreds of thousands of guan per acre! Now that eighty guan per mu is sold, you are not crazy, are you?" Yang Fan scolded angrily.

"I'm not crazy! I'm so awake now! I'm more sober than ever!" Lu Zongbao said loudly.

Yang Fan was stunned by his hideous face and looked at Lu Zongbao speechlessly.

Lu Zongbao took a deep breath to calm the restlessness in his heart, and then said again: "It is precisely because of the current crisis that we must have a strong man break his wrist, and only by jumping out of the quagmire outside the city will he not die miserably this time!"

Such a reason obviously could not convince Yang Fan: "What about our money? Without money, how can we explain to those people in our own family? Those guys are all masters who turn their faces and don't recognize people!"

Lu Zongbao then said: "We still have a chance!"

Yang Fan raised his head, looked at Lu Zongbao expectantly and asked, "What chance?"

"I'm betting on someone!" Lu Zongbao seemed to have struggled violently in his heart before he said this.

"Who?" Yang Fan asked.

"A little beggar! a little beggar who plays with all of us in the palm of his hand!" Lu Zongbao found that at this moment, he could calmly accept the fact that he was being used.

"What do you mean?" Yang Fan thought about it, but still couldn't understand.

Lu Zongbao didn't mean to let him understand: "Go! Just to let this little beggar make a move, we must lower the price of land outside the city again!"

Yang Fan stared at Lu Zongbao for a long time, making sure that the other party was serious, and then smiled bitterly: "Hehe, okay! I'll believe you again!"

After speaking, Yang Fan turned around and went out.

Subsequently, a large number of orders for the sale of cultivated land outside the city appeared in various dental shops in the city, and the price was very low, only 50 yuan per mu.

As soon as the list was put out, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in Yuzhang City!

It's just that there are many people who talk about it, but there are few people who really dare to start, and most of them just buy a few acres symbolically, thinking that they can't lose anything.

But in the eyes of those who truly understand, this event represents an unusual significance.

In the courtyard of the Huang family, Huang Kai rushed into Huang Xian's study, and before anyone arrived: "Father, good news!"

"What's the matter?" Huang Xian was a little displeased with his son's escape, put down the scroll in his hand, frowned and asked.

Huang Kai didn't care about his father's expression this time, and said excitedly: "Father, they started selling land!"

"Who?" asked Huang Xian.

"The people of the Seven Sects and the Five Surnames have begun to sell off a large amount of cultivated land that they purchased outside the city a few days ago, and the price is pitifully low, only 50 yuan per mu! It is only half of the normal land price!" Huang Kai said with a smile.

Huang Xian pondered for a moment, with a hint of confusion, and asked himself softly, "What do they want to do?

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head again, still at a loss.

"Whatever! Anyway, they are now trapped outside the city, even if the strong man breaks his wrist, how much cash will be left? In other words, this is not a broken wrist! This is clearly a head cut!" Huang Kaixi smiled and said, the unhappiness and depression that Lu Zongbao put in front of him a few days ago are now swept away.

"Father, should we buy some arable land now?" Huang Kai asked.

His son's words made Huang Xian feel a flash of inspiration: "By the way, do they want to attract the attention of buyers to the cultivated land outside the city, so as to raise the price of cultivated land?"

"Impossible! To do this, to say the least, tens of millions of copper coins need to be invested, but now apart from our side, who else in Yuzhang City has this strength?"

"Those foreign retail investors, the combined strength of these people is really not to be underestimated, but no one comes forward to unify, it is impossible for these people to go all out!"

"Besides, these people come from all over the world, how can anyone be able to integrate them?"

Huang Xian thought about it one by one, but then ruled out all kinds of possibilities, in the end, he still didn't see the other party's intentions, but one thing he can be clear, that is, the people of the seven sects and five surnames must hope that someone will buy their land on a large scale, whether it is to be reborn with a broken arm or take the opportunity to get out, someone needs to invest a large amount of money.

In this case, Huang Xian is naturally not ready to let him get his wish, and besides, under the current unclear situation, keeping the hole cards in his hand and waiting to see the situation clearly before falling is the most calm approach, after all, they don't have much money in their hands.

"No need! let's see it clearly!" Huang Xian said aloud.

"Oh. Huang Kai was a little disappointed, but he still had joy in his heart.

And almost at the same time, in the young man's courtyard, Xu Chen was receiving Sun Desheng, who came to visit.

The two talked casually, the content was very mixed, there were poems and songs, sage articles and anecdotes, in short, just to kill time, they chatted freely.

Soon, the news of Yaxing was delivered to Xu Chen.

Xu Chen laughed after reading the note.

"Senior brother, why are you laughing?" asked Sun Desheng, who was sitting directly opposite.

Xu Chen handed over the note in his hand, and then said, "Our opportunity has come!"

After reading the contents of the note, Sun Desheng wondered: "Didn't the junior brother say that we would intervene in the battle for the land inside the city at that time......?

Xu Chen chuckled and said: "We are only seeking money, as long as we can make money, it is the same inside and outside the city." ”

"Then can the cultivated land outside the city make money?" This question is what Sun Desheng is most concerned about, after all, he only has 1.5 million yuan in his hand, which seems to be a lot, before leaving Beijing, Sun Desheng also felt a lot, but when he went to Yuzhang City, he looked everywhere, only to find that there were too many rich people in the whole Tang Dynasty!

Xu Chen knew Sun Desheng's worries, and hurriedly relieved: "Senior brother doesn't have to care, although the junior brother doesn't have much money, he can still afford one and a half million yuan!"

When Sun Desheng heard this, he hurriedly pretended to be angry and said: "What did the senior brother say! Even if the deal is messed up this time, it is also the senior brother's business, what does it have to do with you!"

Looking at the sincerity on Sun Desheng's face, Xu Chen's heart warmed, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry! It will never be fine! When we buy the cultivated land outside the city, if he can't rise, we can find a way to make him rise!"

Sun Desheng learned about Xu Chen's ability from Xu Fan, and smiled self-deprecatingly when he heard it: "Yes! Senior brother is such a clever method, I am too worried about senior brother!"

Xu Chen said with a smile: "Senior brother has a heavy responsibility, and it is inevitable to be cautious. ”

Sun Desheng smiled, lifted the topic, and then asked, "Then let's do it now?"

Xu Chen nodded and said, "Senior brother can go and ship the copper coins now, let's go to the tooth store to buy them immediately, we have to act faster, otherwise the lower price will rise soon, and we can make more money!"

Sun Desheng nodded approvingly: "Okay! I'll go get the money now!"

After saying that, he got up and said goodbye.

After Sun Desheng and his party left, Lu Hao walked up to the eldest brother and asked, "Big brother, why do you want to make a move now?"

Lu Hao knew that the reason why the eldest brother was making a move now was not because he wanted to help Sun Desheng make money, at least not the only reason!

Sure enough, after Xu Chen heard his question, he smiled and said, "Our second son Lu is in trouble!"

"So what?" Lu Hao asked.

"So, we should help him!" Xu Chen replied.

Lu Hao looked at him with a strange look, and the intention of inquiry was very obvious.

Xu Chen then smiled again and said, "Second Prince Lu is still a good person! A very obedient actor, such an obedient actor who can accurately understand the director's intentions, how can you let me bear to give up?"

Lu Hao was stunned for a moment, and then said with a solemn expression: "If Chai Lao knows about this, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the eldest brother to get the medicine this month!"

When Xu Chen heard this, he was also stunned for a moment, and then said calmly: "It's okay! I still have a lot of them!"

Lu Hao was stunned again, blinked his eyes, shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed: "Big brother, you are really good at hiding it!"

Xu Chen smiled and didn't say anything.

Then, Sun Desheng soon returned, accompanied by a whole team of guards and a dozen carriages.

Xu Chen also set off, without a carriage accompanying him, but a young man behind him carried a burlap bag on his shoulder, which was full of silver receipts from the cabinet in Wuyue Town. One hundred thousand, looking at the bulging burlap bag, I am afraid that there are at least hundreds of them.

So, they set off quietly, but they really couldn't do it quietly.

Seeing this, Xu Chen had no choice but to say to Sun Desheng: "Senior brother, it's too high-profile for us to go with such fanfare, I'm afraid that before we can buy enough land, the buyers who come to hear the news will raise the price of the land!"

When Sun Desheng heard this, he nodded hurriedly and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Xu Chen smiled and said: "Let's separate! Let's each take people to various places in the city, senior brother is not familiar with Yuzhang, I have some clever guys here, let them accompany senior brother's people." ”

Sun Desheng replied: "It's okay! Spread out, the speed can be much faster." ”

So the procession began to separate, in groups of three or four, pulling a wagon full of copper coins, and walking towards the predetermined teeth.

Soon, in Yuzhang City, those buyers who have been staying in various dental shops for a long time discovered a very important problem.

The amount of arable land outside the city is decreasing, and the price is slowly rising!

"Oh no! Someone is buying farmland!"

"Oh my God! It's only been a little more than an hour, and the price of cultivated land has already risen to 300 guan per mu!"

"The price of cultivated land is going to rise!"

"Hurry! Hurry up! It's too late!"

"That's right! Hundreds of dollars of buying, thousands of times of selling, that's also earning!"

……

As a result, in all parts of Yuzhang City, arable land began to be robbed, and the price continued to recover.

In the Lu family's compound, Lu Zongbao, who received the news, immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Little beggar, you really made a move!"

At the same time, Wan Shijun outside the city said with a smile: "Is it two to one? Hehe, interesting!"
