167. The Second Coming of the Palace
Early the next morning, Bailijie came to Ren Xiaoyao's house with dozens of soldiers, knocked on the door to wake up the confused Ren Xiaoyao, and said: My father is looking for you! After that, I went to the fruit store to get grapes to eat, and I was not polite at all.
Ren Xiaoyao, who was in a daze, heard that Prince Jing was looking for him, and immediately became energetic, knowing that the most important step in the plan was coming. Although he knew that the laws of the Household Department of the Sunset Country did not have harsh requirements for civilians to buy houses, those two so-called laws were full of loopholes and were useless to him.
However, with such a vast project, he knew that it would definitely attract the attention of some corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and if someone "escorted" it, it could reduce the avoidable trouble. Moreover, Prince Jing is also the only elder brother of the Emperor of the Sunset Kingdom, and this "talisman" is particularly important to his plan.
Originally, he had planned to pull Ye Guangyuan into the water to find a care, after all, he was not familiar with life. When I first met Ye Guangyuan, although he looked greedy and fun-loving, he looked like a typical second ancestor.
But from the aura emanating from his body, the demeanor between conversations, and the cultivation and courage he showed, this person is not an ordinary person, but he didn't expect to catch up with the prince. From the very beginning, Bai Liyun asked him to talk about building a house, and he planned step by step. However, Ye Linfeng's identity was an accident, he really didn't count Ye Linfeng at the beginning.
Entering the room, Ren Xiaoyao flashed into the space, washed it briefly, came to a green vine ground and glanced at it, then left the space with a happy face, went out to have breakfast, and went to the palace.
The last vine Ren Xiaoyao looked at in the space was the leaves he picked from the palace, and he used the space spring water to cultivate countless plants from the leaves. The reason for this is because the vine is the watermelon vine
Ren wandered around the streets of the North Market, bought some snacks unique to the sunset, and walked towards Prince Jing's Mansion while eating snacks. During this period, he noticed that many pedestrians glanced at him from time to time, and after observing for a long time, he found that many people on the street had already put on thick clothes, and some even wore cotton jackets.
Looking at these "strange" pedestrians, Ren Xiaoyao remembered that it was already November and had entered winter, but perhaps because of the phenomenon of the space being like spring all year round, he didn't feel cold at all, on the contrary, he felt very cool, and the temperature was just right.
I remembered that Ren Shiting was so angry when she got up these days to know the reason. In the past few days, Ren Shiting has only gotten up at noon, probably because of the cold. For a while, I felt that my brother was very incompetent, thinking that winter was coming, and I had to prepare winter clothes for Ren Shiting.
According to memory, Ren Shiting and Ren Xiaoyao both had no thick clothes, and they both wore a large lump of thin linen clothes to keep out the cold. Although Ren Shiting is now a little rich woman, according to her temperament, I am afraid that she is reluctant to buy a cotton jacket with silver to keep out the cold. But this is also so that he can do his duty as a brother.
When he came back to his senses, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly heard a woman's scream, looked up at the gate of a mansion in the distance, Aunt Xu was beaten by several strong men with wooden sticks, and quickly walked to the mansion and shouted: "Stop, what are you doing?" ”
"Who are you? Don't be nosy, this is our house's business, where are you cool, be careful that my brothers beat you together. Hearing Ren Xiaoyao's words, several people glanced back at Ren Xiaoyao, and one of the youngest said with disdain.
As soon as the words fell, he was stopped by a partner who was five big and three coarse: "Don't talk nonsense, don't make trouble for the master." "This person knows that Ren Xiaoyao sells fruits, and everyone in the city knows that Ren Xiaoyao is very close to the palace, and it is rumored that Ren Xiaoyao is the illegitimate son of a certain official.
After speaking, he turned back to Ren Xiaoyao and said with a bloody smile: "This son, this woman didn't handle my young lady's affairs well, it was the young lady who asked us to do it, don't embarrass us." ”
Ren Xiao heard what the two people said, looked up at the plaque on the door, originally wanted to see what the surname of this mansion was, and only then did he remember that he was illiterate in the country of the sunset, and glanced down at the five big and three thick figures, and it was not easy for others to say anything about it.
opened his mouth and said: "Killing people is just waving your hand, and scolding is not moving your mouth." Do you beat people like that? I don't look at other people's age. It just so happens that my family lacks a servant who cooks, so you call your housekeeper out, and I will redeem this woman. ”
"This son laughed, this woman" Hearing Ren Xiaoyao's words, the five big and three thick people thought that Ren Xiaoyao was playing with them, and said.
Ren Xiaoyao didn't wait for Ding Ding to finish speaking, then interrupted: "Where is so much nonsense, am I familiar with you?" Kidding with you? I don't know anything about myself, hurry up, I still have to rush to do something, delay my big business, be careful that I bought you one by one, and let you take care of my three tigers. ”
After the trouble of the last official service, the entire Four Seasons County knew that Ren Xiaoyao had raised three white tigers, and it was very magical. At first, it was said that the three tigers could understand people's words, and then they said that the tigers were goblins, and in the end, it was rumored that the three tigers had to eat the meat of Ren Yao every day.
Hearing Ren Xiaoyao's words, the five big and three thick strong men hurriedly said, "Yes, I'll go now." Xin Wan quickly ran into the door of the mansion, for fear that what Ren Xiaoyao said was true. When the other strong men heard what Ren Xiaoyao said, they thought of who Ren Xiaoyao was, and they were all stunned and didn't dare to move, for fear that Ren Xiaoyao would buy them all back, and the Zhuang Hall who scolded Ren Xiaoyao at the beginning was already pale.
Ren Xiaoyao glanced at the remaining strong men, and saw that they were all like wood, standing motionless, and one of them was still pale, as if he was a tiger, quite depressed. However, for these strong men who are fake tigers, Ren Xiaoyao does not intend to embarrass others, after all, they are just subordinates.
came back to his senses, glanced down at Aunt Xu who was lying on the ground, saw that he was moaning constantly, and hurriedly walked to Aunt Xu's side, supported Aunt Xu, saw her face turn blue, and asked, "Auntie, are you okay?" ”
"Ah, Carefree? Why are you here? When the dizzy Aunt Xu heard Ren Xiaoyao's voice, she reluctantly supported her spirits, saw Ren Xiaoyao's appearance clearly, and spoke.
Ren Xiaoyao was speechless when he heard Aunt Xu's words, he had just said something for a long time, but he didn't know that it was himself, and said, "Auntie, why were you beaten again, did you commit something?" The body is in trouble now, right? ”
"It's okay, it's okay, you can go quickly, don't be nosy, they don't dare to beat me to death." When Aunt Xu heard Ren Xiaoyao's concern, her eyes were red, and she hurriedly said, pushing Ren Xiaoyao out of the street as she spoke, not knowing what Ren Xiaoyao was going to do.
Ren Xiaoyao was speechless after listening to what Aunt Xu said, and just wanted to speak, a voice full of energy came from behind him: "Ren Gongzi, I have heard of the name for a long time, these little Si were offended just now, and I hope to forgive me." ”
When I turned around, I saw a middle-aged man in a dark blue plain robe, walking out of the mansion with a smile on his face. Ren Xiaoyao didn't care who the other party was, and said straight to the point: "The contract, have you brought it all over?" Tell me how much silver. ”
"Eh" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when he heard what Ren Xiaoyao said, he didn't expect Ren Xiaoyao to have no gifts, and he didn't pretend to greet him normally, his brows furrowed slightly, thinking of the rumors in Four Seasons County, and said with a smile: "This woman has been cultivated by our Xu Mansion since she was a child."
Ren Xiaoyao heard that the middle-aged man was about to talk nonsense, and hurriedly said, "I said that the people in your house have problems with their brains?" It's all about asking questions, disgusting people, right? Obviously, Lao Tzu wants to invite you to dinner, but you want ****, why are you so cheap? ”
"This woman of yours has been in our Xu Mansion for thirty years, fifty taels of silver, no two prices, the contract is here, bring the silver, and the contract will be given to you." When the middle-aged man heard Ren Yao's metaphor, he said angrily.
Ren Xiaoyao glanced at the middle-aged man, although he knew that the other party was asking for a sky-high price, but he really didn't care about the 50 taels, picked up his right hand, stretched it into his arms, took out five silver tickets with a face value of 10 taels from the storage ring, walked to the middle-aged man, and exchanged contracts.
got the contract, although Ren Xiaoyao didn't know how to read, he still pretended to be literate, glanced at it seriously, turned around and walked to Aunt Xu's side with the contract, handed the contract to him, and said: "Auntie, now you are not a subordinate of the Xu Mansion, you can go wherever you want in the future." After speaking, he took out 10 taels of silver tickets from his "arms" and handed them to Aunt Xu, and then left in a chic manner and rushed to the palace.
Looking at the back of Ren Xiaoyao leaving, Aunt Xu came back to her senses, only to know what Ren Xiaoyao had just done, her eyes flowed with tears of emotion, she got up and glanced at the gate of the mansion with resentment, and turned around and rushed to the direction of Nanshi
At this time, Ren Xiaoyao was alone, sitting in the hall of the palace, looking at the tea in the porcelain cup, and said to himself: "This kind of tea can be drunk, really." Tea and tea, it's good to put tea leaves, but also put ginger, salt, cinnamon, and drink this as soup! ”
After speaking, he looked up at the people in the hall cleaning up, and shouted to a teenager: "That, can you do me a favor?" ”
When the young man heard Ren Xiaoyao's voice, he respectfully saluted Ren Xiaoyao, and said with a gift: "What do you have to say to Ren Gongzi?" ”
"Eh, help me go to that Hu Dahu and get some saffron, not too much, just four or five, and help me boil some hot water and bring an empty cup." Ren Xiaoyao was a little unaccustomed to the etiquette of this feudal ceremony, and said in a twisted mouth.
The young man glanced at Ren Xiaoyao strangely, he didn't know what Ren Xiaoyao wanted this abortion thing to do, and he also knew Dr. Hu. But it had nothing to do with him, and he bowed and walked out of the main hall.
After the young man left, Bai Liyun and Prince Jing walked into the main hall before and after, and smiled at Ren Xiaoyao: "Ren Gongzi got up very early, I really envy others." Although the king is far away from the court, he is still entangled in tedious things every day. ”
The prince laughed, he didn't have much talent in the next, he ate and drank every day, and he died of old age, so why did the prince envy him. Those who can work hard, and the prince is the object of envy. Ren Xiaoyao heard Prince Jing's ridicule and replied.
After speaking, he turned around and asked, "I wonder if the prince called down today to come down to the West Market, if there is an answer to the matter?" ”
After listening to Ren Xiaoyao's words, Prince Jing drank a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Hehe, Ren Gongzi seems to be very concerned about the matter of the courtyard of the West City, but do you know what role the West City plays in Four Seasons County, if Ren Gongzi does this, I am afraid that many people will be homeless."
Ren Xiaoyao smiled at what Prince Jing said and said: "Xishi is strictly dispensable for Four Seasons County, and it is full of poor people; However, it is a part that cannot be ignored, these people living at the bottom of Four Seasons County are the main contributors to Four Seasons County. In fact, if the prince has something to say, he might as well say it directly, and he can answer it as appropriate. ”
"Oh? Then Wang Ke said it directly. Ren Gongzi and Guangyuan are about to buy all the courtyards in Xishi, and this king has to be surprised by Ren Gongzi's financial resources. But do you know that if you do this, the people of Xishi will be homeless. ”
After listening to Prince Jing's worries, Ren Xiaoyao asked rhetorically: "If people don't advance, they will retreat, and the tiger is also the king, and so are people." Although I don't know that the sunset country has a few counties and counties, but I believe that the vast majority of civilians do not live in the county seat, since it is not easy to live in the county, then why treat yourself badly, just find a rural life, isn't it beautiful? ”
"Then according to Ren Gongzi's words, can this king think that you don't plan to deal with these people? Just now you said that these ordinary people are the main contributors to Four Seasons County, isn't it inappropriate to do so? After listening to what Ren Xiaoyao said, Prince Jing frowned and said.
Prince Jing's understanding made Ren Xiaoyao smile strangely, and asked: "The prince misunderstood, and I just said that for the poor, rural life is the best choice." But if you want to live a better life than you currently have, you have to work hard. There is no pie falling from the sky in the world, and people can only eat and wait for death if they don't work hard. ”
After speaking, he paused, glanced up at Prince Jing, and said: "In addition to basic life, people still need dreams, even if it is an unfulfillable dream, but it is also their own goal, the direction of progress." And this is also the spiritual sustenance of all people. ”
Ren Xiaoyao's modern theory made Prince Jing stunned for a moment, listened very mysteriously, and asked, "So, Ren Gongzi, how do you deal with these civilians?" ”
"So I gave them a chance, and asked the prince to find a vacant land for me, make some tents for them for free, and settle them first. I'm going to build some relatively cheap houses, and the total price of these houses will be sold for a small amount of silver a month for many years. Ren Xiaoyao boasted, using the plan for the building on the earth here.
After listening to Ren Xiaoyao's words, Prince Jing was shocked, glanced at Ren Xiaoyao strangely, and asked, "You mean that you will sell part of the house in this way?" Aren't you afraid that these people will live in it and not give money? ”
"Hehe, Xiaoyao is just a profiteer, of course it can't be so stupid, but that's another story. I don't know if the prince is satisfied with Xiaoyao's handling method? After listening to Prince Jing's analysis, Ren Xiaoyao smiled mysteriously.
For Prince Jing's worries, Ren Xiaoyao can be said to not take it to heart at all, there are countless perfect housing supply plans on the earth for so many years, and these worries are completely unnecessary.
Moreover, the area of Four Seasons County is about 40,000 square kilometers, and the West Market accounts for a quarter, which means that the West City is 10,000 square kilometers. In such a big place, it is impossible for him to sell it all to rich people, which is unrealistic, so this step must be taken. (To be continued.) )
