Chapter 43: First Things First
"That's the first thing?" Zhou Ming raised his eyebrows and asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Hmm."
"Then you can say it." Zhou Ming walked back to the table and sat down, he was a little curious, he didn't know what Yan Yuxiu's first thing to ask him to help would be.
Loan stood beside him, standing behind him.
Yuxiu pondered for a while, thought about it again in her mind, and then said slowly, "That's the case, you also know that our brother and sister now have two thousand taels of silver......
Zhou Ming sighed a little amusedly and motioned for her to continue. Of course he knew about her silver taels.
Of the two thousand taels of silver, the Liu family contributed 1,000 taels, Mrs. Chengyi gave 500 taels, and the wives of several other prefectures gave 500 taels.
Yuxiu saw his somewhat playful eyes, knowing that he was making fun of his windfall, she didn't care about his expression, and only said slowly, "These two thousand taels of silver, it's inconvenient for us to carry it now, so I want to trouble you to arrange someone to come forward and help us buy some land." ”
Buying a field? Zhou Ming frowned.
He is well-written and martial, but he is not proficient in this business matter, and besides, he has always regarded money as dung, and of course there is no manpower in this area around him.
Does he want his parents to help him with this?
"What's so hard about bringing silver? Are you afraid that your cousin will rob you of your money? Why don't I send someone to come with you, he will dare to rob and break his leg directly. Zhou Ming felt that this method was still refreshing.
"The husband is not guilty, and my brother would be better if he were an adult. We are all still young, and we are known to have so much silver, and sooner or later something will happen, can you send someone to guard against it for a while, and let people follow us for a few years? ”
Yuxiu directly denied Zhou Ming's words, and Zhou Ming thought about it, which is also the truth.
At a young age, I can actually think of this, in the end, it is the poor child who is in charge of the house early, well, it may also be the experience of being bullied.
"You want to buy a field, but what do you want?" It's best if she thinks about it.
"I've already thought about the fields, I heard that the state capital used to be on the side of Yanshan, and some people sold the mountains and lands of Yanshan, and those lands were cheap, and they could all be bought for two thousand taels, so you can help me buy them there."
In the previous life, the Yanshan was bought by Shen Xuan, a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, for 1,800 taels of silver.
After about seven or eight years, it should be the twenty-eighth year of Chenghua, before and after the death of Emperor Chenghua and the accession of the new emperor, a jade mine was found in this mountain, and Shen Xuan presented a piece of beautiful jade to the new emperor, which was rewarded by the imperial court.
Shen Xuan relied on this jade mine from the original rich businessman to become the richest man in Jiangnan, and later in order to seek power, he also gave half of the dry shares of this mine to Li Chengen, the king of Jing.
With the support of King Jing's Mansion, the new emperor ascended the throne at that time, and he was one of the best figures in the Jiangnan area, and he monopolized a lot of financial roads in Jiangnan with his power.
Will he know about this, or is it because Shen Xuan has to send a batch of beautiful jade to himself every year in order to tie up his favored Ninth Lady, and he pays attention to inquire about it before he knows his family history.
I was reborn, and I didn't have any money, and even if I remembered it, I was only greedy. Now, I have the money, and there are people to help me, if I don't buy it, wouldn't I be sorry for God's love?
Zhou Ming heard that Yuxiu had even thought about where to buy the land, and breathed a sigh of relief, if this made him look at the land all over the world, he really couldn't do it, but ......, "How do you know that someone is selling land over there in Yanshan?" ”
"Oh, on the way to Mingzhou, in an inn, I heard someone say that there is a piece of land to sell on the side of Yanshan, and that land belongs to the old family of the former dynasty, and their descendants share the family property. In the area of Yan Mountain, there is no grass and trees, and nothing can be grown on the mountain, so I want to sell it for money. ”
Yuxiu had already thought about how to talk about it, "There is a whole mountain in that land, and the land at the foot of the mountain is also contained in it, you ask someone to help me buy it, by the way, mark the purchased local government mansion, and help us erect the boundary monument." ”
Zhou Ming is still a little suspicious, at her age, can she understand this? Forget it, it doesn't matter how she knows, "Luoan, you remember this, let the steward do it immediately." ”
Yuxiu couldn't care about his doubts, and admonished, "I heard that this land can be sold for 1,800 taels, and the steward you sent has to bargain, don't let people ask for a price." ”
"In this case, you take 1,900 taels of silver, if it is not enough, I will add it to you." Zhou Ming waved his hand generously and directly finalized it.
It's really not a good family and don't know the price of firewood and rice, Yuxiu slandered in her heart.
She originally thought that Zhou Ming's people would definitely not be able to bargain with Shen Xuan, so they could buy it for two thousand taels, since Zhou Ming said that as long as one thousand nine hundred taels, she would be happy to save one hundred taels of silver in her hand.
"Lord Shizi, why don't you share the mountain land I bought?" Thinking of the days in his previous life when Li Chengen lived on the jade mine, Yuxiu felt that it was a good idea to give Zhou Ming some dry shares.
Zhou Ming refused without thinking, "Don't, wouldn't it be a loss of face to ask for children's things." ”
Don't you regret it in the future! Yuxiu slandered again in her heart and didn't mention it again.
She calculated, it is now the twenty years of Chenghua, and the twenty-eighth year of Chenghua, not to mention her brother, even the fourth child can do something at the top.
At that time, he has the silver in his hand and Xie Huiling's jade plate, and no one should dare to fight his brother and sister's idea, right?
Zhou Ming saw that this matter was solved, breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and left.
Yu Xiuhui counted the silver and handed it over to Luo An to take away, and was also relieved, and turned back to the guest room where Yudong and the three of them lived.
In the room, Yushu and Yuliang sat in the house and didn't dare to leave a single step, staring at the pile of things in front of them. They were afraid that the shiny clothes and fabrics in front of them, as well as boxes of things, would fly away out of thin air.
As soon as Yuxiu entered the room, Yuliang jumped up first, "Eldest sister, eldest sister, come and see, you touch, touch this clothes." ”
Yuliang dragged Yuxiu to a burden, widened the gap in the baggage, revealing the clothes inside, stretched out a finger, wiped it on his sleeve, and gently slid it over the clothes.
"Eldest sister, this dress is so slippery, like water." All he knew was the soft feeling of the water as it slid over his fingers.
Yuxiu smiled, "Well, this is tulle material." ”
"Big sister, how do you know?" Yuliang asked curiously.
Yuxiu was stunned for a moment, "Oh, I'm in the palace, and I've heard from the people inside." ”
Inadvertently, she will show some traces of what she knew in her previous life, fortunately, her brother and sister believe her, if they know that she is dead and come back to life, will they be frightened? You have to hide it yourself so that you can't scare them.
Yushu followed behind Yuliang and Yuxiu, although she was not as amazed as Yuliang, but the cautious eyes also made Yuxiu feel distressed.
"When you get home, my sister will make two clothes out of these materials for you."
"Don't, sister, this material is not strong, you see that it is so thin, if you go to the mountains to collect firewood, it will be cut in one fell swoop." Yushu shook her head and said seriously.
Yuliang heard Yushu say this, and nodded again and again.
