Chapter 236: The Decisive Battle - Eve
Just half an hour after Wan Shijun gave the order comfortably, a huge amount of land began to be sold in the tooth shops all over Yuzhang City.
A large number of land plots began to be sold, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury to the land market in Yuzhang City today. Even the most optimistic investors can't find the slightest reason to stay in the face of this cruel reality. As a result, a larger sell-off ensued......
"What is the land price today?" In the courtyard of the Lu family's house, Lu Zongbao held his forehead and asked the housekeeper Lao Lu in a solemn tone.
Since making the decision to break the kettle, the two brothers Lu Zongbao have not slept for several days, and the eldest brother Lu Zongtai is busy everywhere in and out of the city at this time, just to sell the family's property as quickly as possible, and use it to support his younger brother's plan after exchanging copper coins.
It's just that in this situation, almost all the people in the city who have the ability to take over the Lu family's industry are his enemies, and those high-rollers who came to Yuzhang from other places to make a lot of money have no extra thoughts to put in places other than land sales. For this reason, Lu Zongtai could only go away to a foreign land and dispose of the property that his family had accumulated over the years at the lowest price.
Years of hard work have been in vain, but the Lu brothers don't have time to be sentimental, the two of them know very well, in today's situation, just relying on the two of them and a Wang Xian, it is impossible to defeat the Yuzhang wealthy family, what they are doing now seems to have made a posture of sacrificing their lives, but the real purpose is to seek peace!
That's right! The first thing the Lu brothers thought of after realizing that they could no longer do anything was to find a good way out for their own family! Sell all their family wealth and buy land on a large scale, and it is best to hand over the land again, after all, Yuzhang City is the foundation of these wealthy families, and they should care more about these lands than the two Lu brothers, and this is where the real hope of the two brothers lies! However, if they fail this time, there will be only a dead end waiting for them!
Money is just something outside the body, and for this, the two brothers of the Lu family, who have experienced life and death, understand it more deeply than anyone else.
"The price of land in the city has fallen to dozens of acres per acre, and the cultivated land outside the city has fallen to several acres of copper coins, which is several times lower than the land price in the famine years!" said the housekeeper Lao Lu with a solemn expression.
Lu Zongbao didn't hear it, just nodded slightly, and asked again, "How much cash do we have?"
"Not much! Even if the land price is so low now, there are too many of them! The copper coins sent by the family have long been exhausted, and now the eldest prince has not much copper coins to rush back! And there is not much property we can sell......" The housekeeper Lao Lu said with a sad face.
"The land of ten thousand families...... That's a lot!" Lu Zongbao lost the idea of fighting at this moment. The original speculation now seems to be obviously wrong! Wan Jia's hand still has such a large amount of land, it has been hidden useless, Wan Shijun's forbearance is really extraordinary!
"I can't take much anymore! I can collect as much as I can!" Lu Zongbao calmed down and then said calmly.
"Alas......" The housekeeper Lao Lu looked depressed.
"This matter must be done well! This is the only chance we have now! These lands have been bought, then it is ours! With the law of the imperial court, these families in Yuzhang City do not dare to mess around, those people in their own family are still there, and if they do too much on the surface, they will cause greater trouble, and these wealthy families in Yuzhang have also been hurt in this turmoil, and they will never want to cause more trouble. These lands are our life savers, and the more we eat now, the more bargaining chips we will have to talk to them when the time comes!" Lu Zongbao still held his cheek with one hand and said in a low voice.
"Is there still a possibility of negotiation?" asked the butler Lao Lu, with a sparkle in his eyes.
Wan Shijun is not a stupid person, it is meaningless to fight again in the current situation, let's break the fortune and avoid disasters, leave Yuzhang, Wan Shijun will not be wiped out, after all, we are still people of the Lu family to the outside world......" Lu Zongbao's face did not see a little change, and he was just stating a thing that had nothing to do with him.
After listening to the second son's speculation, the housekeeper Lao Lu settled down a lot, and then bowed down and retreated, and continued to be busy buying land.
Looking at the back of the housekeeper Lao Lu leaving, Lu Zongbao was silent for a while, but he was also worried in his heart.
Fang Cai's guess was somewhat comforting to Lao Lu, although the battles between the families rarely destroyed the family and exterminated the clan, but this time it was different!
Now they have to scatter their family wealth, and then hand over all the land and stay away from Yuzhang, it seems that their sincerity is enough, but these are somewhat wishful thinking. Wan Shijun's answer, Lu Zongbao really didn't know the bottom in his heart......
"If Wan Shijun doesn't want to let us go, Lao Tzu will give you a big one!" Lu Zongbao said viciously in his heart.
Until the last step, he would never want to use Zhou Gang's back hand! Because as soon as the sword is unsheathed, it will definitely see blood! Under the fish death net, no one can guarantee whether he can survive or not, but he really doesn't want to die!
Just when Lu Zongbao was worried about his upcoming fate, the person who could decide his fate made the final judgment in his back garden at this moment.
"Family master, let's throw these lands out, isn't this a chance for them to escape?" Luo Bin asked Wan Shijun suspiciously.
"How can it be so easy to escape? They can't escape!" Wan Shijun chuckled: "If they had decisively withdrawn from Yuzhang at the beginning, I really couldn't do anything about them." After all, I can't send people all over the world to hunt them down, can I? If we do, the people of the Seven Sects and the Five Clans will do the same to us!"
"However, these two guys are so clever that they want to negotiate with us after getting enough chips, hehe, it's really self-righteous!" Wan Shijun sneered.
"That's right, if these people leave Yuzhang decisively as soon as the news of Chang'an comes a few days ago, we really can't help it!" Luo Bin said happily, and then he was a little puzzled: "But if you want to say that Wang Xian can't leave, but why don't the two of the Lu family brothers who are so shrewd simply leave?
"Hehe, what's so incomprehensible about this! When life and death are not really approaching, they have to abandon a qiē, such a resolute person is rare in the world! Not to mention that the family business in Yuzhang City has a very different meaning for the two brothers of the Lu family! Except for Yuzhang, they have nowhere else to go! The pride of their own family and the fact that the people of their own family who are hostile to them are still in power, it is impossible for them to return north to Fanyang! And how easy is it to go elsewhere and start all over again? Going to the north is the sphere of influence of the seven sects and five surnames, but staying in the south can't escape our influence, so they simply continue to stay in Yuzhang City, just get our consent, not to mention that in addition to the land in their hands, they don't have a back hand in their hands!" Speaking of the back, Wan Shijun's face hung a playful smile.
"Did the head of the family mean Zhou Gang?" Luo Bin quickly reacted.
"Who else but him!" Wan Shijun chuckled softly.
"That'...... What does the head of the family mean?" Luo Bin looked at Wan Shijun and said thoughtfully.
Wan Shijun knew that Luo Bin was waiting for his decision, and Wan Shijun had already made a plan in his heart about how to deal with the two brothers of the Lu family.
"Is Lu Zongtai selling his property?" Wan Shijun did not answer directly, but suddenly mentioned such a sentence.
Luo Bin was slightly stunned, but he immediately came back to his senses and replied: "That's right! No one in the city took over, so he went to the surrounding counties to look for people everywhere, and the price was very low. ”
Wan Shijun bowed slightly, and said, "Go find someone and take over all the industries in Lu Zongtai's hands!"
"Huh?" Luo Bin's face showed surprise, and then he nodded hurriedly: "Oh, okay! I'll find someone!"
"Don't worry! I bought their property on a whim!" Wan Shijun explained.
However, Luo Bin naturally didn't believe that the head of the family, who had always acted with great intentions, would do something boring, but he didn't know that this time Wan Shijun really just had a bad taste, took over the Lu family's property, and finally ruined their money, property, and their lives in front of the Lu family brothers!
"As for the two brothers of the Lu family, it's very simple! Since they didn't leave for the first time, I think they fell in love with Yuzhang's red land, so it's better to let them be buried here for a long time!" Wan Shijun said a little mischievously.
Luo Bin was not surprised this time, but asked with a roll of his eyes, "How to do it?"
"It's hard to bring the dead back to life, but it's very simple to get from birth to death! Robbers, water bandits, diseases, plagues, anything can happen!" Wan Shijun said with a light smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Then, what should Wang Xian do?" Luo Bin immediately asked, without the slightest awe of this feudal official.
"Wang Xian...... After all, it's the face of the imperial court, so forget it! If he doesn't know each other, then add him! It's just to add one more dead official to the twists!" Wan Shijun is also very domineering.
"I understand!" Luo Bin bowed. Then he asked, "Then I'll contact them now?"
"Go ahead!" Wan Shijun nodded.
Then, Luo Bin turned around and left.
After leaving the mansion, Luo Bin first went to a property of Wanjia in Yuzhang City, found the shopkeeper and instructed Wan Shijun to buy the property in Lu Zongtai's hands, and then ran alone and rode alone to the outside of Yuzhang City.
Leaving Yuzhang City, Luo Bin was haunted like a ghost in the night, and on both sides of the country road, the abandoned fields were overgrown with weeds several feet long, providing the best cover for Luo Bin's figure.
So Luo Bin walked quickly through the overgrown weeds, turned one path after another, came to one village after another, and went straight to the village chief's residence, without alarming others, and did not stay long, and no one in the small village found that he had come.
Half a day later, Luo Bin rushed back to Yuzhang City and returned to Wan Shijun.
"The head of the family, they're all connected!" Luo Bin's voice was a little hoarse.
Wan Shijun was stunned and asked, "There was no accident, right?"
"Don't worry, the big guy doesn't have much of an opinion on you taking over as the head of the family!" replied Luo Bin.
Wan Shijun knew that Luo Bin's sentence was an understatement, and the actual process must be much more difficult than the sentence he talked about. However, these are also a process that Wan Shijun must go through, a process that is accepted by everyone!
At the succession ceremony that day, Wan Shijun could only be regarded as half of the succession, because all the people who came to congratulate him were the heads of the wealthy families. Once Wan Shijun had always guessed that these wealthy families were all the hidden power of the Wan family, but when he really took over the position of the head of the family, he realized how strong the strength of their Wan family hidden in the shadows was!
Those seemingly inconspicuous villages in the countryside are so amazing one by one! Just like the bluestone path in front of the ancestral house of ten thousand families, these ordinary little villages also hide noble deposits!
Lu Zongbao's original guess was actually correct, there really wasn't so much land in Wanjia's hands! The land that Wan Shijun had put into the market in the past few days was not owned by their Wanjia at all, but by these small villages in the countryside! Of course, according to today's statement, these lands also belong to Wanjia!
The succession of each generation of the head of the family must be approved by many people and things!
The heads of the wealthy families accepted Wan Shijun's leadership on behalf of the forces on the face of the Wan family, but in the past few days after taking over the position of head of the family, these villages in the shadows only silently handed over the land in their hands after Wan Shijun's call to show their support, but did not make any further expressions.
At this point, Wan Shijun was naturally a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he was helpless! The more things he understood, the more Wan Shijun could understand the inheritance system created by the ancestors of the Wan family, and how to get the sincere support of these villages, Wan Shijun could only negotiate slowly.
Today, Luo Bin's visit is the final agreement reached by the two sides after so many days of negotiations!
Fortunately, every qiē has succeeded! Now, Wan Shijun can be regarded as truly mastering the Wanjia!
"Okay, since they have already responded, then let them fight together when the time comes!" Wan Shijun said flatly.
The reason why so many people are wanted is to deal with the government army in Zhou Gang's hands, and at the same time, it is also the first convening he has conducted since he took over the position of head of the family......
Just when Wan Shijun was fighting against Lu Zongbao, Xu Chen was on the dock in the west of the city to bid farewell to Sun Desheng and his party.
"Senior brother, go all the way!" Xu Chen bowed his hand to Sun Desheng on the boat.
Sun Desheng's face was filled with an excited smile, reflecting the white and tender abnormal face flushed, and the rest of the people in the company were also excited!
Sun Desheng they have to be happy!
A few days ago, they took advantage of the fact that the news of Chang'an had not yet come, and in that staggered few hours, they once again pitted the investors in the city, and sold the cultivated land they bought in an instant, and the profits they obtained were really earth-shattering!
The moment he got the specific figure, Sun Desheng could hardly believe his eyes! At the beginning, he just invested more than 1.5 million yuan of copper coins, obeyed Xu Chen's arrangement, and forcibly bought it when the cultivated land outside the city fell sharply for the first time, and then sold it at an unusually high price a few days ago. But he didn't expect that when the final result really appeared in front of him, he couldn't be happy anyway!
It's not that there's less money, it's that there's more money! It's too much money!
Xu Fan swore that he would let Xu Chen earn enough 10 million yuan for them, but Sun Desheng had always only regarded it as a temporary joke, but he never thought that the final result would far exceed this joke!
A full 22,000,000,000 copper coins!
This is what Sun Desheng had invested more than 1.5 million yuan in exchange for it in just over a month! Not twice, but a full 20 times the profit!
Sun Desheng is not afraid, now in this year, Datang's annual income is only 10 million copper coins, and they have earned the equivalent of Datang's tax income for two years in just one month!
This...... How could Sun Desheng dare to go back to Beijing to report to the Holy Lord? How could the officials of the household department deal with themselves?
Sun Desheng was scared! He dragged Xu Chen to verify repeatedly, did he miscalculate the account? And repeatedly stated that Xu Chen should not care about the friendship between their senior brothers, and he would give as much as he wanted! He, the senior brother, must not let him, the junior brother, lose money, right?
Xu Chen naturally knew Sun Desheng's worries, and in desperation, he gave him an idea.
Let Sun Desheng gather all the people who came to Yuzhang this time into one room, whether it is an officer, a soldier or a eunuch in the palace, all according to the head and position, to divide the money!
Xu Chen mentioned yì, simply left a fraction, and the remaining 20 million guan were all divided equally by everyone, so that Sun Desheng and they still earned more than 500,000 guan, and they were still the most profitable among all the teams sent out in the entire palace!
You can get both business and benefits, so why not?
It's just that this mention was resolutely vetoed by Sun Desheng! Just kidding, if the Holy Lord knew that the number of people who were greedy for ink was more than forty times that of his old man, Sun Desheng, a somewhat honest minion, really didn't know how to face His Majesty the Emperor.
So, Xu Chen asked rhetorically: "Senior brother, how much is appropriate?"
For a while, Sun Desheng was speechless again!
In the end, after a painful struggle, Sun Desheng decided to come up with a whole ...... Three million runs!
The rest, everyone divides it equally!
So, in a guest room in Xu Chen's small courtyard, after these dozens of entourages heard the news, whether they were men or non-men, they were all paralyzed to the ground in an instant!
Because on average, each of them can get at least a few hundred thousand yuan! That's a huge fortune that they don't dare to ask for in their lives!
