"Thirty taels of silver a mu? Is it so expensive? Lin Yuan's poking head shrank back.

Prices are so high!

She really thought that the estimated 1,000 taels of silver in her hand could buy a lot of land, but if it was 30 or 1 acres, all the silver in her hand could only buy 30 or 40 acres of land.

Wang Qing, who was driving, heard Lin Yuan muttering like this, and couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Lin Yuan, "This is already cheap, the land on the edge of Jinling City will have fifty taels of silver per mu." ”

Lin Yuan laughed twice, she didn't understand and blamed her?

"Miss Table, in fact, it's a pity to buy too many kinds of land, you just buy a ten acres of land to take care of, as for this grain and rice, the current market price is one or two silver twelve or three buckets of rice, you don't need to save too much, the next year it becomes old rice and it will depreciate." Wang Qing proposed, and as he spoke, he frowned again, "Miss Biao didn't answer me just now, could it be that you want to open a grain and rice shop?" ”

Lin Yuan was burying her head in calculating how much land and grain she could exchange for the silver in her hand, and when Wang Qing asked, she blurted out in a hurry, "No, I just want to save more grain, and I bought land to grow grain." ”

Wang Qing didn't understand, now it is a peaceful and prosperous era, if you buy so much food, if there is no market, won't you lose money in your hands?

Lin Yuan also calculated about it, raised his head and continued, "I have a thousand taels of silver in my hand, buy twenty acres of land, and buy the rest of all grain." ”

Wang Qing raised his eyebrows, this was going to smash it all in.

"Miss Cousin, do you want to think about it again? This year, it's May, and if you want to buy the land that has already been planted, the price is estimated to be higher. I am afraid that it will be too late to plant this year, and the silver will be smashed in vain this year, and this year's field tax will have to be paid separately. Wang Qing said more and more disapprovingly.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I don't have time to plant it, I will lease it out first, I just want to stock up on more grain, Uncle Wang Qing, don't persuade me, I have made up my mind." ”

Wang Qing glanced at Lin Yuan, and in desperation, he could only nod.

The carriage went on, and the field was indeed a little farther away. It's been an hour. It hasn't arrived yet.

Wu'er dozed off in the carriage, Lin Yuan closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, thinking in her heart that twenty acres of land was still less, and whether she wanted to ask her father for more silver.

But the idea just came to me. was pressed down by her.

She just didn't want people to know. She secretly bought the fields and grain for a rainy day. If it is known, it will be useless at that time.

Fortunately, Wang Qing is here, and the fields and grain are all under the name of the other party. In this way, it is unlikely that anyone will find out, after all, no one will think of her, and she will buy the land privately.

It was about half an hour before the carriage slowed down, and there was some sound outside.

"Miss Cousin, it's almost there." Wang Qing called outside.

……

"Uncle Huang, this dowry is also generous." Ji Zongya looked at King Han and asked.

Han Wang smiled and put down the dowry list in his hand, his heart was as clear as a mirror, the Lin family's dowry was a series of jade veins, so he was so light on this dowry that the emperor still had the cheekiness to do it?

He nodded, "The emperor is in love with Yu'er, I don't know if the emperor has heard about it, Yu'er's kid ran to the hunting ground, saying that he wanted to hunt a pair of geese and a pair of deer." ”

Ji Zongya was taken aback, as if he knew.

"This kid is too attentive to Miss Nalin, this is not good." Ji Zongya deliberately scolded with a straight face, but at first glance, he knew that he was cheating.

King Han laughed again, "The marriage that the emperor personally refers to, the young lady of the Lin family must be very good, and it is natural for Yu'er to be so attentive, speaking of which, after Yu'er gets married this time, it is time to start a business, Your Majesty, which piece of land do you plan to point out to Yu'er as a fief?" ”

King Han said it lightly, and Ji Zongya also listened to it lightly, but he frightened Bai Xian on the side.

Bai Xian couldn't help swallowing his saliva, raised his face and secretly glanced at Ji Zongya.

"Haha, Uncle Huang also said that I love Yu'er, and I think Uncle Huang really loves Yu'er." Ji Zongya smiled heartily, and then asked, "Then Uncle Huang thinks that where is the most suitable place to make a fief for Yu'er?" ”

Ji Zongya's eyes were shining, and he stared at King Han tightly.

If it weren't for the intricacy of Hankow's business network, he would have wanted to take the king of Han and replace him. Although the Hankou area pays a lot of taxes every year, he knows that it is only the tip of the iceberg, and he, a good imperial uncle, does not know how much silver he earns every year!

Ji Zongya's gaze made King Han feel a little uneasy in his heart, but he remembered that he had also made an oath when the emperor was dying, so he could only continue.

"Your Majesty, aren't you kidding me? I have been taking care of business all year round, where do I know these curves? King Han said casually, "Otherwise, the emperor will give this kid a piece of land for convenience, and he will not be limited to where he is, and he will toss it in the future." ”

"I just can't make up my mind so I have delayed it so far, the first emperor once asked me to give Yu'er a fief on his deathbed, but I really have a headache." Ji Zongya shook his head and smiled bitterly.

King Han sighed, "Although the emperor treats this younger brother like a son, but in the end, Yu'er has become a ren, the emperor still let this stinky boy go on his own." ”

"Uncle Huang is right, there will always be a day when young birds will spread their wings and fly high, and I will be allowed to consider this matter by myself."

After King Han left the palace, he did not shy away from going to King Yu's mansion.

He was afraid that Ji Zongya would be jealous, but he had already opened his mouth to help Ji Zongyu ask for a fief, and it was useless to be afraid.

When Ji Zongyu heard that King Han was coming, he hurriedly invited people to the study.

King Han glanced at the furnishings in the study and quipped, "Your bookshelf is empty like this, what is it called a study?" ”

Ji Zongyu touched his nose and smiled, "Uncle Huang said that he was joking, Uncle Huang just came back from the palace?" ”

King Han nodded, "Yes, today the emperor took the dowry list for me to see." ”

As he spoke, the King of Han quickly stretched out his finger and dipped it in the tea bowl, and then wrote a sentence on the table: "The matter has not been done, but the emperor seems to be about to loosen his mouth." ”

Ji Zongyu stared at the table with his eyes, nodded slightly, and then said with a smile, "Since I was a child, the imperial brother has loved me the most, and the dowry prepared for me must be extremely rich." ”

He also wrote a few words-"Thank you Uncle Huang for maneuvering around and doing your best to obey the destiny of heaven." ”

After that, the two said something salty and indifferent, and the king of Han left, and he naturally had a house in the capital.

Ji Zongyu sat alone in the study, he leaned back in the chair with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep, but his slightly trembling eyelashes kept shaking.

I don't know how long later, he heard some movement outside, so he raised his voice and asked, "But Shi Quan is back?" ”

When he opened his eyes, he realized that the sky had darkened outside.

"Master, it's me." Shi Quan replied in a deep voice, with imperceptible joy in his voice.

"Come in."

Shi Quan entered the door in response, and then whispered to Ji Zongyu, "Master, Zhiwen is back." (To be continued.) )
