Chapter 109: Buying land on a large scale
The big man shook his head with a wry smile, and grinned: "This son, like Zhao Quan, there are not many of us in Qionghai Dart Shop, at most we will send two for you, or replace everyone else with ordinary dart masters!"
Qiu Hao was speechless when he heard this, and the big man said: "Our Qionghai dart line has been operating in Lingao for many years, as long as we report the name, everyone who knows it has to give face, only if we don't dart in Lingao, the strength of the two senior dart masters and the eighteen ordinary dart masters is not weak, and they will definitely be able to protect the son!"
Qiu Hao didn't believe it and asked, "What if you meet a large number of Li people?"
The Li people are a major force in Qiongzhou Mansion, and the population is no less than the Ming Han people on the island, or even more, and the leader of the Li people can easily gather hundreds of people with a roar, and then twenty guards will not be enough!
The cheeky man didn't pat his chest and said that there was no problem, but said quietly: "There are some problems on the Li side, but we also have many mature Li brothers in Qionghai Dart Xing, as long as the son does not take the initiative to make trouble, we will be able to protect the safety of the son!"
Qiu Hao frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Is it just my safety?" Can't protect your property? ”
The cheeky man nodded without concealing his denial, and sighed helplessly: "If the number of the other party is small, everything is easy to say, if there are many people, we can't take care of the others, we can only protect the son!"
Qiu Hao sighed in his heart, it seems that it is really necessary to develop team training, so as not to create a huge industry in the future, but it will be easily taken away by others.
Then Qiu Hao and the others entered the hall with the big man and signed some contracts, saying in advance that the guard time was one month, but the big man asked for half a month's honorarium in advance, that is, eighty-five taels, and the second half of the month's honorarium was paid after the guard was one month old.
Qiu Hao had no opinion on this, took out eighty-five taels from the bag on the back of the great sage and handed it over, and the next thing was to go back to the compound to select the dart master to guard.
"Young Master Qiu, slow down!"
Behind the table, the big man suddenly stretched out his hand and shouted, his eyes turned to the tall Sharma Great Sage in the hall.
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Hao and the others were about to leave the house, but as soon as all their steps stopped, Qiu Hao turned around and wondered: "Zhang Darttou, is there any process that has not been done?"
"Huh!" The big man with cheeks is Zhang Dekui, the deputy dart head of Qionghai Dart Company, he seemed a little embarrassed, and said a little embarrassed: "No, our martial arts practitioners promise a thousand gold, and the contract documents are just in case, those just now are enough!"
"Then why did you tell us to stop?"
"That's right, my Guanqiu Gongzi's mount is extremely extraordinary, that... Think... Cough! ”
"Do you want Brother Qiu to resell the BMW to you?"
Before Qiu Hao could react, Tang Hua asked with an unhappy face, and even Du Lingwen was on guard, because the two of them also fell in love with the Great Sage, although they now found that the chance was slim, they didn't want to be taken away by others.
"Yes, yes, yes! What do you think, Mr. Qiu, the price is negotiable! ”
Zhang Dekui went south and north, the horse team of the dart line, the horse team of the mountain bandits, the Ming cavalry, the Tartar cavalry, these have all been seen, the total number is not less than tens of thousands of horses, but like the great sage, the two-meter-high horse with a high shoulder, but he has never seen it, and he really doesn't want to miss it, so he looked at Qiu Hao with a hopeful face.
Qiu Hao shook his head without thinking about it, and said simply: "The Great Sage doesn't sell!"
"Three hundred taels of silver!" Zhang Dekui didn't believe it and quoted directly.
"Huh?" Tang Hua and Du Lingwen were quite surprised, they only bid one hundred taels five days ago, and now it seems that the price is a bit lower, I hope Qiu Hao will not misunderstand.
Qiu Hao didn't react when he heard this, three hundred taels in the Ming Dynasty was a small amount of money, and he could buy thirty or fifty acres of paddy fields, or hundreds of acres of dry fields, but he had initially detached himself from the level of money, and sighed: "Zhang Darttou, I have said it, the great sage will not sell!"
Qiu Hao returned to the courtyard of the football field, and found that more than 100 people had gathered, he first ordered Zhao Quan, the senior dart master he had fancied before, and then selected a bald senior dart master named Lu Chong, and then ordered eighteen sturdy ordinary dart masters in a row, and when they registered with the deputy dart head Zhang Dekui, they led people to leave the east of the county and go to Fuluo Township in the north of the county.
At this time, it is the second day of the first month of August, according to the Gregorian calendar of later generations, it should be late September and close to October, and a large area of rice fields in Fuluo Township has been harvested.
Half an hour later, under the advice of Tang Hua and the others, Qiu Hao entered the most luxurious two-story wooden structure Brunei restaurant in Fuluo Township, and the market was actually a township-level market.
The dart masters... Their dart is Qiu Hao, because they don't need to walk the dart, so it is more appropriate to say that they are guards, because the guards know the local forces very well, so Qiu Hao sent them out to contact the many landlords who wanted to sell their fields.
It didn't take long for many groups of people to come from all directions of the Brunei restaurant, Qiu Hao watched upstairs and found that the so-called landlords, some of whom were old and sedan chairs, and some of whom were young and vigorous, and they were all surrounded by more than a dozen people without exception, who were clearly thugs and followers.
It's a pity that the area of the Brunei restaurant is limited, only about 150 square meters, so most of those subordinates stay outside the building, and each landlord only brings three capable men into the building, and then two stay on the first floor, and only one guards the second floor.
Fortunately, there was no banquet, because when the local lords came, the second floor was almost full, Qiu Hao counted carefully, and found that the number of people who came was not only twenty-one as expected, but close to thirty people, he looked at Tang Hua suspiciously.
"Brother Qiu, the more people who come here should be waiting, maybe they also want to sell the field!" Tang Hua said a little uncertainly.
"Uh, that's for the best!"
Qiu Hao doesn't care about smiling, the field, that's the more, the better!
In fact, at this time, the familiar landlords had already begun to talk left and right, and they came to a ridiculous conclusion, that is, Qiu Hao wanted to buy the land of the people in the place, which was twenty or thirty thousand acres of land, so many people felt that they had been deceived and wanted to teach Qiu Hao a lesson.
Of course, there were also a few who were very calm, or surprised, or greedy to look at Qiu Hao.
Next, Du Lingwen and Yan Song moved the table and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and then Qiu Hao stood up, and shouted unhurriedly: "Please be quiet, my name is Qiu You, and now I am meeting with you here, in order to buy land, and please register here if you are interested, I will take the silver two to exchange the land deed tomorrow!"
As soon as the words stopped, a muttering sound sounded, and suddenly someone shouted: "Just with you, there are so many of us, do you have enough money?" Isn't it the idea of lowering prices? ”
"Downprice?"
Qiu Hao looked at the man and found that it was a thin middle-aged man in a loose blue robe, Du Lingwen said in a low voice: "He is a horse member, and he has 800 acres of paddy fields!"
Qiu Hao understood, and said loudly: "It turned out to be a horse member, you are too worried, as long as the price is right, I will buy it, paddy fields and dry fields!"
The landlords looked at each other, and the horseman said, "Boy, how can the price be right?" There are so many of us, is it the one with the lowest land price, so the price is appropriate? Are you entertaining us? Hum! ”
"Yes, don't pay attention to this barbarian boy!"
"Heh, it's just that you're dressed strangely, not necessarily a barbarian, or a monk who is secretly vulgar!"
All the landlords present laughed and scolded, Qiu Hao didn't care, and continued to say in a deep voice: "Everyone be quiet, I need a lot of fields, regardless of paddy fields and dry fields!" Please rest assured, as long as the price is fair, it doesn't hurt for me to buy them all! ”
The landlords didn't believe it at all and still cursed, until an old man in a gray robe with a fine face suddenly raised his hand, and the landlords slowly fell silent, and the old man in the gray robe slowly spoke: "Little brother, you said that you can bring cash to exchange for the land deed tomorrow, yes or no?"
"He is Master Fang Zhongwen Fang, his ancestor is a liuguan from Fuzhou Mansion, and his hometown is prestigious!" Du Lingwen introduced in a low voice.
Qiu Hao arched his hand and said, "That's right."
Fang Zhongwen's eyes flashed, and he said with a little excitement: "Are you sure it's silver taels, not copper coins?"
Qiu Hao knew what he thought, in ancient times, silver taels were far more popular than copper coins, theoretically one tael of silver was equal to one thousand wen money, in fact, silver taels were less common and stronger, so it was a lot of premium, in real life, one or two silver could even be exchanged for fifteen hundred wen money, and there was a very important point, it was not a peaceful and prosperous era at the moment, and maybe there would be a change of dynasty, so the silver taels would be more valuable!
Qiu Hao wanted to understand this, thought that there was nothing to be afraid of, and said calmly: "I'm sure it's all silver taels!" Master Fang, everyone, how much land you have, I can take out as many silver taels as I can! ”
"Up......roar" Everyone was in an uproar, because the sound was too loud, downstairs and downstairs even thought that something had changed, and they all "sonorously" drew knives and sticks, as long as the master shouted, they immediately rushed upstairs.
Old Master Fang coughed, and the upstairs was quiet again, and he asked unconvincedly: "Young Master Qiu, there are twenty or thirty people here, and the total amount of land is not less than 30,000 mu, and the price is about 100,000 taels of silver, do you really have so many taels of silver?"
This time, not only those landlords, but even Tang Hua and a few others stared at Qiu Hao with wide eyes, especially the guards such as Shang Zhao Quan and Lu Chong, while drawing their knives, their ears began to tremble, this Qiu Gongzi is probably the biggest financier they have ever protected!
"Yes!" Qiu Hao said loudly.
"Wow!" Another row of sound came out from afar, and a few five big and three rough subordinates on the first floor suddenly rushed to the second floor, and as a result, twenty or thirty landlords and old fortunes immediately stared at them, and those subordinates were dumbfounded, sneering and nodding and running back to the first floor.
"Okay!" Fang Zhongwen clapped his hands, walked to the table in a few steps and lifted the brush, and sighed: "Hehe, Fang Mou won't say much, this note is signed, I hope you are not a pastime for me to wait!" ”
Because it was just a simple registration form, and there was Fang Zhongwen at the beginning, the landlords signed it one after another.
Qiu Hao picked up several tables and looked at them, and found that a total of 27 people sold their fields, all of which were written with specific acres and quotations, and the bits and pieces were counted together, 7,000 mu of paddy fields and 25,000 mu of dry land.
The quotation is quite pertinent, with an average of eight taels per mu for paddy fields and an average of 2.5 taels per mu for dry fields, but he soon found that something was wrong and wondered: "Huh? Huang Yuanwai, isn't your family's dry land only 2,000 acres, but here it is filled with 3,000 acres! ”
Many people looked over, Huang Yuanwai coughed dryly, and said with a thick face: "Oh, it should be that Fang Cai's hands are shaking, and he has a little more horizontal, heh, this is changed!"
Qiu Hao handed the form back with an expressionless face, continued to look at the rest of the form, and then quickly said: "Master Zhang, I remember that you have a total of 900 acres of fields, 200 acres of paddy fields and 700 acres of dry fields, but here it has become 700 acres of paddy fields and 200 acres of dry fields, what's wrong?"
"Yes, it should be that I didn't wake up from a hangover last night, and my brain was groggy and reversed, Qiu Gongzi is not to blame!"
"Master Tan, now that the rice has been harvested, don't tell me that you are planting regenerative rice!"
"Regenerative rice... What is it? Ahem, I thought the rice would be confiscated now, but this is changed! ”
