Part of the silver money obtained by Zhang Sheng from selling goods in the past ten years was bought for his family a hundred acres of land according to Zhang Qi's instructions, and he did not dare to buy more, because since the fish scale atlas was published, the emperor ordered to check the fields on the booklet and move the big households from all over the country to Beijing.

At this time, the big household refers to the person who has a lot of land.

Emperor Zhu moved more than 5,000 households across the country to Beijing in the 24th year of Hongwu -- what happened to the local land of these huge rich people was collected by the government at a low price, and in this way, these huge rich people could almost be regarded as losing seventy or eighty percent of their family business.

Originally, his own 200 acres of land were not very eye-catching, but Zhang Sheng went south and north, and saw that in some places a provincial capital was apportioned, and some cities had many rich people, but he picked out four or five; in some cities, there were few rich people, so he still had to pick out four or five, and the two were even ten times worse than the family business.

Emperor Zhu's method of balancing the rich and the poor is too random and too strange. Who knows that in addition to Hongwu for 24 years, but 7 or 28 years without a whim, there will be such a thing again, after all, land annexation happens all the time.

The safest way is to buy a house in the city, which is not checked, which means that the grain chief's family only has dozens of acres of land, but there are many real estate shops in Yongcheng County. Zhang Sheng also learned and bought a house in the county seat, and Zhang Qi built a warehouse in the city, and he could sleep there at night. According to Zhang Sheng's meaning, he also wants to buy a shop in the county, first operate the local products in the countryside or something, Zhang Qi is also weighing, this kind of business he has done in Shanxi before, but after all, he is reluctant to Zhangjia Village's fields, according to his meaning, the land is still the most important, it is the thing to protect the capital, even if Zhang Sheng finally loses a dime of land, he can farm when he goes home, and it is not a problem to make a living.

This cannot be said to be wrong, land is indeed quite important, in this era, even including later generations, many people who do business and make achievements, always have to "buy land", since ancient times the concept is that real estate is real, and liquid capital is always in the air.

In addition to buying a house and land, Zhang Sheng also gave Zhang Zhaohua a lot of dowries for women to marry in Wuxing, where the craftsmen are all extremely ingenious, there are specialized in women's dowries, according to his experience, said that there is a kind of bed outside the frame bed to add a wooden house like things, from the appearance seems to put the frame bed on a closed wooden platform, the platform grows out of the front of the bed two or three feet, the four corners of the column, inlaid with wooden fences, some also on both sides of the window and the cloister, the middle of the cloister is placed with a footstep, on both sides can be placed tables, Stools are small pieces of furniture that can also be used to store miscellaneous items.

Listening to his statement, Zhang Zhaohua felt that this was a bit like the "stepping bed" seen in the furniture collection exhibition in later generations, which was indeed well-made, exquisitely carved, and particularly ingenious, but he didn't expect it to take shape now.

Of course, it costs a lot of money to make such furniture, and it can't be transported to this place in Henan, Zhang Sheng can't get it back, and when he was doing business in western Zhejiang, he asked the craftsman to make an official leather box with red acid branches, which is not large in size and can be consigned back.

This official leather box refers to a slightly larger dressing cage box, which is composed of a box, a box cover and a box base, there are two doors in front of the box, a number of drawers are set inside, the box cover and the box body are fastened, there are locks on the front, there are lifting rings on both sides, and there are wooden boxes with empty covers.

Zhang Sheng ordered the official leather box for her is the largest one, half a foot high, which can not only hide comb grate, rouge, head jewelry and other supplies, and even put down the four treasures of the study, especially this box also has a special mezzanine, documents, account books, land deeds in the safest inside, do not worry about safety issues, because to open the box, you must first open the metal lock and lift the top cover, and then open the two doors to take out the drawer, which is the characteristics of the official leather box. Zhang Sheng specially got a copper lock key, and Zhang Zhaohua was the only one who could open the box.

Zhang Sheng was a little ashamed to send it to the red sour wood, saying that the richer ones in western Zhejiang were all customized to be huanghuali, but he was not rich enough to buy the next whole huanghuali, so he had to grieve his sister and use inferior red sour wood.

Zhang Zhaohua couldn't be more satisfied. She was pleasantly surprised to have such a sophisticated personal belonging. After all, at this time, there are many women in the same village and even the county town who can't afford such things, not to mention that the Wang family also guarantees that when she marries in the future, this official suitcase will definitely be filled.

In addition to the official suitcase, Zhang Qi went to the county seat this time in addition to official service, and also went to the wood store in the city to see the wood. At this time, a good piece of wood is relatively rare, and if you see it, you must book it early, otherwise you may go to another house. Zhang Qi fell in love with a piece of good material this time, a whole wood can be used as a large vermilion lacquer cabinet and a stuffy cabinet, and the leftovers are just enough to make a box and a treasure bucket for descendants. In this way, the bed seems to have to look at another piece of wood, and it just so happened that this wood store had another piece of good material to be bought and made into an old coffin. Zhang Qi planned to go to other timber stores to have a look, but if not, there were neighboring counties, and they were not far away.

"Nannan, look at the line," Wang patted her head: "The weft thread has fallen off." ”

Zhang Zhaohua sighed, hurriedly picked up the thread and wrapped it, but was stared at by the Wang family, and asked: "You have been in a trance for the past few days, and this is the case since you came from the grain chief, you told Ah Niang, what did the grain chief tell you?"

Zhang Zhaohua's temples jumped suddenly when he was asked again.

Seven or eight days ago, when she went to the food chief's house to do her homework, the food chief suddenly asked without warning: "Sister Hua'er, what do you think of Brother Duan'er?"

Zhang Duan went to the middle school of the child, the county praised, this thing is very beautiful, Zhang Zhaohua naturally knew, she thought that the grain chief still thought that Brother Duan'er's knowledge was not solid, so he said: "Brother Duan'er is fourteen years old, he has passed the county examination and the government examination twice, and the results are outstanding. ”

"I ask you how he is?" asked the grain chief.

"A gentleman, a heavy man. Zhang Zhaohua was inexplicable, so he replied cautiously.

"Is it enough for the rest of your life?" asked the grain chief.

Zhang Zhaohua was silent now.

"I think he can do it," said the grain chief, rubbing his beard, "and besides, I think he also has a heart for you." ”

"When I was younger, I taught a few students, but none of them were as spiritual as you. The grain chief suddenly sighed and said: "If you are a man, with such qualifications, you will not be able to rise to the top." ”

"It's a pity that it's a girl. He shook his head and said: "You have to say, what if you are a girl, but you also ask yourself, you are so husbandly, and you are willing to be a village woman, and bury your head in the red ruler stove? Now that you have reached the age of marriage, it will not be up to you to decide which family your parents want to marry you. ”

"Marry Brother Duan," Zhang Zhaohua couldn't help but say, "Is there anything you can do?"

"Brother Duan'er has a gentle temperament," the grain chief said with a smile, "You compete with him, he will not alienate you because you have refuted your face, and you have been better than him in history, and he will not look down and ridicule your identity as a woman." If you marry other farmers, will they understand what you have learned and thought? If you marry other scholars, will they be able to tolerate a woman who is higher than their own talents?"

Zhang Zhaohua was like being drunk.

That's right, what the grain chief said is not wrong at all. What he said included all the circumstances after Zhang Zhaohua got married, and he also said that people's hearts and human nature. Zhang Zhaohua touched her heart, which beat twice as fast, and seemed to be able to foresee that after marrying an illiterate person, the husband and wife have no common language, and you talk about the East and I talk about the West -- she can also foresee marrying a person who proudly claims to be a scholar after reading a few books, and finds that she marries a wife with higher talent and learning, and sneers at the scene of a woman who is not talented and virtuous.

"You are the most different from other women," the grain chief said, "I don't love strange feelings, but I only love a hundred schools of history." Marrying Duan's wife will surely benefit him. What's more, Brother Duan is really a bit roundabout, in the future, he will be lucky to get a jinshi, and after becoming an official, he is afraid that he will not understand the etiquette in the officialdom, and he will also be excluded and suppressed. That's what I'm thinking about. ”
