Lu Xiaoxian's house was already very small, but suddenly there were twenty or thirty more people, and it was suddenly crowded.

Wang Shouyi acted quickly, and on the second day after receiving the silver ticket, he took a look at a big mansion for Lu Xiaoxian.

"So fast?" Lu Xiaoxian's eyes widened.

"Of course, of course, what you ordered, of course I have to do it neatly!" Wang Shouyi's face was proud, "I brought all my brothers here, just to let everyone take a look." ”

"Okay!" Lu Xiaoxian happily agreed, "Then let's take a look now!" ”

The house selected by Wang Shouyi for Lu Xiaoxian is located in the most prosperous West Avenue Cross Street in Luzhou City, with many shops on both sides of the street, with sheep's heads hanging in front of the butcher shop and iron pots in front of the iron goods door. There are also many small traders and hawkers, who sell tofu and bang bangzi, who buy hu cakes and bang gongs, and sell oil and beat wooden fish.

Enter a laneway from the cross street, and you will arrive in front of the house.

Song Di looked at Wang Shouyi strangely: "This place is quite close to where you live?" ”

Wang Shouyi is single, and lives in the same courtyard with his sister Wang Hui, that is, the princess of Linzi, and Li Longji, the king of Linzi County.

Wang Shouyi smiled: "That's right, the house I chose for Xiao Xian is next door to the palace of Linzi County!" ”

Song Di pointed at Wang Shouyi and said meaningfully: "You are selfish!" ”

"It's selfish!" Wang Shouyi honestly admitted, "Wouldn't it be much more convenient to be a neighbor with Xiao Xian and come to him to play?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian's heart moved, he was a neighbor with Li Longji, and he would inevitably deal with him in the future, saving him from racking his brains and thinking about how to have a relationship with Li Longjila, Wang Shouyi could be regarded as having done a great thing.

Seeing that Lu Xiaoxian was silent, Wang Shouyi thought that Lu Xiaoxian was dissatisfied, and hurriedly explained: "Xiaoxian, although I am a little selfish, this house is really good in terms of location and layout, so I chose it." If you don't believe me, you can go in and have a look, it's much better than the house where I live.

"Stronger than Linzi Palace?" Lu Xiaoxian was a little unconvinced, "How is this possible?" ”

Wang Shouyi smiled bitterly: "Although my brother-in-law is a royal prince, he is just an idle county king, don't drive in Luzhou, Liang Dequan doesn't buy his account at all, and only relies on Yulu, and lives a tight life." Although his mansion is called the palace, it is not half a star worse than this courtyard. ”

From the door of the house, it can be seen that the owner of the house should have some status.

The carved gatehouse, there is a shadow wall in front of the door, there are stone piers, a high threshold, there is a side door next to it, and the hall house is dedicated to the God of Wealth.

When I entered the courtyard, I found that it was a large courtyard. To Lu Xiaoxian's surprise, there were many small courtyards in the courtyard, which were divided by rough walls and densely packed.

Lu Xiaoxian was very satisfied with the house, and was worried about how to settle those child slaves, but with this house, the problem was solved.

"Alright, that's it!" Lu Xiaoxian patted Wang Shouyi on the shoulder, "Brother Shouyi, you have done a great deed, how can I thank you?" ”

"What is the thanks, you are out of sight, just a gesture! Besides, I'm not happy! Wang Shouyi said dissatisfied.

"Good, good! It's me who has seen it! Lu Xiaoxian asked again, "Is the silver enough?" ”

Wang Shou nodded: "Enough, I have already negotiated with the owner of this house, and the house is sold for 1,600 taels of silver, and there are still 100 taels of silver left!" ”

"One thousand six hundred taels, it's really not expensive!" Lu Xiaoxian was very satisfied.

If such a house is placed in Chang'an, 10,000 taels of silver may not be able to be bought.

"When can I move in?" Lu Xiaoxian asked Wang Shouyi again.

"I've also talked about this, and after paying the money, they will vacate the house within ten days!"

"Ten days?" Lu Xiaoxian frowned, "In this way, tell them that I will add another three hundred taels of silver and let them vacate the house for me within two days!" ”

When a few people heard this, they couldn't help but smile bitterly: Lu Xiaoxian is generous enough, with these three hundred taels of silver, let alone two days, it is estimated that the other party will agree to give two hours.

Sure enough, under the temptation of silver, the family who sold the house vacated the house within two days, and Lu Xiaoxian, Zhang Meng and the child slaves moved into the new home smoothly.

The slave seller of the child slaves was really powerful, and within a few days, he managed to find the relatives of the seven child slaves.

Lu Xiaoxian said that he counted, and immediately paid the silver at ten times the price of the child slave, and the slave seller happily took the silver and continued to look for the relatives of the other child slaves.

Lu Xiaoxian did not arrange things for the twenty-three child slaves, but only let them eat enough food every day, supplement their nutrition, and take care of their bodies as soon as possible.

Seeing that the child slaves gradually recovered their vitality, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't be happier.

On this day, Lu Xiaoxian quietly came to Wei Xianyun and told Wei Xianyun about his purchase of child slaves.

Wei Xianyun listened, and said to Lu Xiaoxian with a smile: "Xiaoxian, your hand is really high!" ”

"What's tall?" Lu Xiaoxian was inexplicable.

"I say, the hand that buys child slaves is very high!"

"Sir, what's the high law?" Lu Xiaoxian asked rhetorically.

"Saved them when they were in their most desperate moments. Help them find their loved ones, and with that alone, these child slaves will surely turn to you! ”

"Sir, that's not all I have to do!" Lu Xiaoxian's eyes were deep.

"And?" Wei Xianyun stared at Lu Xiaoxian and said, "What else do you have to do?" ”

"I want to free them from slavery, let them learn good skills, and treat them as brothers!"

"You give them hope, you give them skills, you give them dignity, you give them sincerity, these are what they want most. If you can really do this, they will not only be willing to return to you, but also let them go to the soup at any time! Speaking of this, Wei Xianyun looked at Lu Xiaoxian strangely, "How did you come up with this method?" ”

"In the past few days since I left Chang'an, I have been thinking that in order to gain a foothold in this world, if you want not to be bullied, you need not only resourcefulness, luck, but also strength!" Lu Xiaoxian said calmly, "And strength, in addition to power and wealth, the most important thing is to have a group of loyal people." ”

Wei Xianyun nodded slightly.

"Where does loyalty come from, you can only exchange sincerity for sincerity! Whether it is Queen Wei or Princess Taiping, it seems to be very powerful, but it is temporary, and once there is a disaster in the future, it will definitely be a tree falling down. To be honest, I don't want that kind of strength. Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said, "Originally, I didn't think about what to do, but after going to the slave market, I suddenly realized that the opportunity to cultivate strength has come!" ”

"If you can keep doing this, you will be successful in less than ten years!" Wei Xianyun appreciated.

"But, sir, I'm in trouble now!" Lu Xiaoxian frowned.

"Tell me about it!"

"As Mr. said, these child slaves will play a big role in the future, and now I just let them raise their bodies, and then they will definitely have to carry out the necessary training. Although the newly bought house is not small, it is not enough to use it for training. Besides, these twenty-three child slaves alone are far from enough, and they will be expanded in the future, and it will not be possible to have a reliable place to live! ”

Wei Xianyun nodded slightly: "This is indeed a tricky problem, the place you need is not only large enough to accommodate many people, but also not to arouse the suspicion of others!" ”

"Sir, do you have any good ideas?" Lu Xiaoxian asked confidently.

"Let me think!" Wei Xianyun pondered.

Lu Xiaoxian didn't bother, and waited quietly on the side.

"There it is!" Finally, Wei Xianyun smiled and said, "I thought of a good way!" ”

"Sir, speak quickly!" Lu Xiaoxian couldn't wait.

"Horse farm! You can buy a horse farm and train those child slaves in the name of horse herding! ”

"Horse farm?" Lu Xiaoxian was puzzled, "Can I buy a horse farm?" ”

"Absolutely!" Wei Xianyun talked eloquently, "Datang encourages people to raise horses, and the noble and lowly people are martial arts and love to ride horses, which has opened up broad prospects for private horse breeding, so there are many horse farms." The price of horses is also extremely cheap, and one silk can be exchanged for one horse. The rich people raise a large number of private horses, and Luzhou is naturally no exception. If you can buy a horse farm, this matter will be solved! ”

"Yes, that's a good idea!" Lu Xiaoxian was elated, "I'll ask Brother Cen to inquire about the racecourse immediately!" ”

Just do it, leave from Wei Xianyun, and Lu Xiaoxian went to find Cen Shaobai.

Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's explanation, Cen Shaobai nodded and said, "Leave this matter to me, I'll help you inquire!" ”

After explaining the matter of the racecourse, Lu Xiaoxian asked again: "Brother Cen, what is the movement over there from Bai Zongyuan?" ”

Cen Shaobai shook his head: "There is no movement!" ”

"The restaurant has been renovated for more than ten days, and he can still hold his breath!" Lu Xiaoxian smiled, "Since he is not in a hurry, we don't have to be in a hurry!" It's still the same sentence, slowly whetting his appetite! ”

"What I'm saying is that anyway, we're just trying to stall for time, and it's just right that he ignores us!"

……

"Shopkeeper Cen, welcome!" Compared with Cen Shaobai's first visit, this time Liu Juren was obviously much more enthusiastic.

Cen Shaobai hugged his fists and said: "Liu Juren, I'm sorry, I'm here to disturb you again!" ”

Liu Juren said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Cen is polite, don't say bother, don't bother, even if there is anything to say bluntly, as long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse!" ”

Cen Shaobai got straight to the point and said: "Liu Juren, you are familiar with the situation in Luzhou, I want to buy a horse farm outside the city, I wonder if Liu Juren can refer to one or two details for me?" ”

"Horse farm? I don't know what the shopkeeper Cen wants? Liu Juren asked.

"To be big, there must be at least 3,000 acres of grassland!"

"Three thousand acres?" Liu Juren frowned and said, "There are a lot of horse farms outside Luzhou City, most of them are scattered and small. Shopkeeper Cen wants such a big horse farm, I'm afraid only the Jiang family will have it! ”

Cen Shaobai's heart moved: "Liu Juren, do you mean to say that I am going to find Jiang Jiao for this matter?" ”

"Exactly! For a long time, the management of livestock has accounted for a large part of the Jiang family's various businesses, so the Jiang family has many large horse farms. Speaking of this, Liu Juren sighed and said, "After Bai Zongyuan came, the livestock business was basically taken away by him, and the Jiang family's horse farm was idle. If Shopkeeper Jiang knew that you were going to buy a racecourse, he would definitely not be able to ask for it. ”
