Chapter 108: Qionghai Dart Walk
Qiu Hao flicked the wine glass with the ring finger of his right hand, and reason told him that he should not stay in Lingao, but now there is an opportunity to buy a large amount of land, and he doesn't want to miss it, but now there is a big problem, if you need to see the official to kneel down to buy land, then forget it, it is better to run to Thanksgiving/County to open up wasteland.
"Three, do you have to go through the yamen to buy land?"
Tang Hua said disdainfully: "After the turmoil of the Li people, where is there still a yamen in Lingao?" Just go to those big families to trade the land deed! ”
Du Lingwen agreed: "Not bad! After the change of Jiashen, the yamen is in vain, who cares if the fields are red deeds or white deeds, and they don't need to pay attention to that Huazhi County! ”
Yan Song bowed his head and said: "The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is that it is necessary to develop group training, so as to protect the grain in the field!" ”
Qiu Hao was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad, and sighed: "That's good!"
Tang Hua and the others thought that Qiu Hao was worried about his identity, so he didn't think much about it.
Du Lingwen suddenly said: "Now the disasters are repeated, but also make the price of the field fall, the best paddy field in Lingao is about ten taels per mu, the general also six or seven taels, the cheapest dry field, two or three two acres, I remember a few days ago, our Fuluo Township Ma Yuanwai wanted to sell 800 acres of paddy field, asking for 5,000 taels, Huang Yuanwai sold 2,000 acres of dry land, also 5,000 ta......els."
Waiting for Du Lingwen to say seven or eight people in a row, Tang Hua nodded, and then pinched his fingers and counted carefully: "I know more, Master Tan wants to sell two hundred acres of good paddy fields and seven hundred acres of dry fields, Master Zhang ......."
Even Yan Song smiled bitterly: "The big family next to my house wants to move to Danzhou in the south because the tenants under my family have run away, and the price of seventy acres of paddy fields is four hundred taels!"
Qiu Hao's calculation was good, and he found that there were actually twenty-one people who wanted to sell fields, and those fields happened to be connected in Fuluo Township, adding up to 25,000 mu, including 5,000 mu of paddy fields and 20,000 mu of dry land, with a total value of about 90,000 taels, and said in surprise: "There are really so many fields for sale?"
Tang Hua pouted and said: "It's true, those old men who are usually rich and unkind are all frightened by the Li riots, even the familiar Li who was used to seeing in the past is also afraid of death, for fear that the Li people will flatten their family like they did with the county government!"
Qiu Hao didn't feel much when he heard it, and began to calculate how much money he had now.
The Ming Dynasty's Jin Liang is different from the Jin Liang of later generations, the Ming Dynasty "one catty and sixteen taels", "one catty" is about 596.8 grams, "one tael" is about 37.3 grams, then "one thousand taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty" weighs 37.3 kilograms, and the price of silver in later generations fell sharply, one gram is only worth three or four yuan, then "one or two silver in the Ming Dynasty" is only one hundred or dozens of yuan according to the price of silver in later generations, and he now has 48 million, in addition to the money for building houses in the original time and space sand, he can also use about 28 million, if he is exchanged for the silver taels of the Ming Dynasty, That's a dozen or two hundred thousand taels, very rich!
In fact, there is another good way to exchange for silver taels, that is, to sell rare objects in later generations, such as glass products, perfumes and cosmetics, medicines, etc., but this way is too slow to exchange money, and there is no ready-made sales channel, so it can only be slowly expanded in the future.
"Brother Qiu, what do you think, I want to know how much land you buy, at least 1,000 acres earlier? That's too general, you should be specific, so we can help you sum it up! ”
Qiu Hao raised his eyes and looked at Tang Hua and the others, he didn't know why they were so enthusiastic about helping him, but he was full of confidence, and he was not afraid of their careful thoughts. Now I know that there are more than 20,000 acres of fields in Fuluo Township under my feet, so the original plan is to be changed, maybe I can choose to stay, and muttered: "I want to buy them all!"
"Huh?"
"Buy them all?"
Tang Hua and the others were dumbfounded, Du Lingwen swallowed his throat and said dryly: "Autumn... Brother Qiu, you're not joking, are you? ”
Tang Hua and Yan Song on the side also didn't believe it, judging from Qiu Hao's outfit, he had a handsome and burly yellow Puma, as well as a dozen big dogs with oily hair, it was expected that it was not bad money, and a few thousand taels might be able to get it, but I just said so much, if you want to buy it all, you have to spend nearly 100,000 taels of silver!
One hundred thousand taels of silver! Qiongzhou Mansion is a poor and remote place, how many people can take it?
Qiu Hao's system is in his body, he is a martial artist, and he is assisted by a spirit dog, so he feels that there is no danger, and said calmly: "What I said is true, Brother Tang, Brother Du, Brother Yan, please help me contact those landlords and foreign masters, after the matter is completed, there will be heavy thanks!"
It's true!! Tang Hua and the three of them glared at Qiu Hao, their eyelids were beating wildly, and then their eyes glanced at each other left and right, revealing an inexplicable meaning, isn't it......
Suddenly, a breeze mixed with cool water vapor blew, Yan Song, who was wearing a patched gray shirt, suddenly stretched out his hands and patted his face and shook his head, then poured another glass of wine, gritted his teeth and said: "No problem, this matter is on us, there is no need to thank you!"
"That's right! Right! It's a great blessing to know Brother Qiu, but I really didn't expect it......" Tang Hua reacted, and was immediately embarrassed, why did he get lost in his mind just now.
Du Lingwen filled everyone with Shanlan wine, and said hesitantly: "It's not difficult to contact those foreign masters, they can't wait for it!" But Brother Qiu, they are not kind-hearted people, you have to beware of them wanting to get rich! ”
Qiu Hao nodded and understood, this kind of thing is really possible.
Tang Hua thought for a moment and suggested: "If Brother Qiu is alone, then you can go to the dart shop, I think Zhao Shenquan's Qionghai dart shop is good, and there is no problem with taking care of the home!"
Then he suddenly lowered his voice and said: "I heard that Zhao Shenquan's subordinates are all practitioners, and some of them are still from the army, and they also go to Liangguang and Fuzhou Mansion from time to time!"
"Oh!" Qiu Hao speculated that the so-called dart line should be a dart game, and it seemed that he really needed it, "Where is Qionghai dart line, and how do they charge for it?" ”
"Qionghai dart line is easy to find, just in Lingao. In the eastern suburbs of the county, more than 100 people, I heard that they can provide guards for a long time, and the fees are calculated according to the capitation, and the difficulty of the guards must be increased accordingly. ”
Tang Hua explained the situation, and then Qiu Hao said frankly that before buying land, he really needed to find some guards.
Because he didn't really bring the silver, Qiu Hao didn't go directly to those landlords, but talked with the three of them for a long time, and the conversation was very extensive, the comparison of the strength of the Southern Ming and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as well as the temperament of some well-known figures, there were also some gods and monsters, in short, they talked about some in the south and the north.
During this period, the system suddenly issued a warning, saying that the historical process should not be revealed too much, and Qiu Hao realized that this was a real historical time and space, not a parallel space that could be reckless, and then naturally complied.
However, even if he did not deliberately disclose the future historical process, Qiu Hao still had a golden finger after all, relying on his foresight, he kept reasoning with facts, saying some specious remarks, and still shocked Tang Hua and the three of them, and finally when the rain stopped, he said goodbye to the three of them and made an appointment to meet again in five days.
Qiu Hao returned to Qiu's house in the original time and space, drove to Longcheng to find a new material company, and then spent 17 million yuan at the price of three pieces of anise and one gram, ordered 4,476 tons of silver of a certain purity, and required the shape to be processed into 37.3 grams of standard silver nuggets, which was actually 120,000 taels of silver at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Qiu Hao then began to contact an animal husbandry company in Guizhou Province and ordered in batches 200 buffaloes, 200 cattle, and 100 improved southwestern horses, which were used for farming, transportation, and riding in ancient times.
The reason for this is that in order to avoid the turmoil of time and space, the system does not allow a large number of machines to be used in ancient times, so it can only rely on primitive animal power!
Then Qiu Hao bought 2,000 acres of red bean grass seeds in the seed company, and asked the system to optimize and transform it to adapt to the hot and humid environment of Qiongzhou Mansion, and let the seeds of future generations be inactivated, after all, there was no modern high-quality red bean grass in the ancient Qiongzhou Mansion, and he must ensure that it cannot spread out.
The last thing is the problem of recruiting and appeasing tenants in the future, the house does not need to be prepared, what really needs to be prepared is food, clothing and farm tools, for which Qiu Hao was busy for a few more days.
On the 8th of November, Qiu Hao went to Qinghuan Farm and found that everything was fine, and the veterans and employees were still laying irrigation equipment and transplanting pasture, so they came to Qiongzhou Mansion again with great interest.
Qiongzhou Mansion is the second day of August in the second year of Shunzhi, Qiu Hao only followed this loach eel and the great sage, and under the leadership of Tang Hua and the three of them, they went to Qionghai Dart in the eastern suburbs of the county.
In a courtyard the size of a football field, there is the whistling sound of men.
"Ho!" "Hah! ”……
A group of shirtless men lifted the heavy stone over their heads, supported a few breaths, and slowly put it down with a red face, and there were more than 30 men not far away who practiced in pairs, knives, guns and sticks, with bare hands, and so on.
At this time, a big man with cheeks walked out of a hall outside the field, he saw Qiu Hao and a few people, walked over, and the dart masters on the field were more or less curious to take a look.
"Look at what, keep practicing yours!"
The cheeky man scolded angrily, turned his head and clasped his hands and said, "How many, do you want to recruit guards?"
Du Lingwen and the three of them also looked over, and Qiu Hao clasped his hands and saluted back: "I want to recruit guards, is your chief dart head there?"
"You?" The cheeky man looked at Qiu Hao with his eyebrows, and his first impression was that the monk was still a vulgar little white face, but with his martial arts sense cultivated over the years, he faintly noticed that Qiu Hao was not simple, and maybe he would also have some kung fu, and said in a deep voice: "The head of the dart is no more, if you want to recruit guards, tell me, how many do you want to recruit?"
Qiu Hao looked at the guards who were boiling blood on the field, and found that there was kung fu in their hands, and many people looked calm, and seemed to be a little indifferent to life, indicating that they should have seen blood in their hands, he pointed to a scar-faced man in the field, and said indifferently: "If you want to be like him, you don't need to walk darts, just daily guards!"
"Oh!" The big man's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "His name is Zhao Quan, one of the senior dart masters in our Qionghai dart shop, he has already trained his true qi, and he can at least be a leader in the army, and the appearance fee is not low!"
Qiu Hao paid a little attention when he heard that he had cultivated true qi, and realized that there should be far more people who practiced martial arts in ancient times than in later generations, and asked, "How much is the appearance fee?"
"Usually one or two a day, you have to take care of food, and the reward for tasks is doubled!" The cheeky man rubbed his hands and replied immediately.
The daily remuneration of ordinary dart masters is two coins of silver, and the senior dart master is one or two, which has increased fivefold, but Qiu Hao didn't care, and said directly: "Twenty people!"
