Chapter 26 Yin and Yang Contracts

The next morning, Guo Wendong took the relevant materials and went to the Yingtianfu government office.

agreed with Li Changsheng to meet outside the official office first, and then enter together.

Coming to the side of the gate of the official office, in addition to Li Changsheng's extremely family, there was also an unfamiliar face, this person was about sixty years old, with a medium stature and an elegant appearance.

Li Changsheng said: "Guo Gongzi, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Qian Shouzhi, a great Confucian in Jiangnan, and he is one of the leaders of Donglin. ”

Who is the money to receive? Guo Wendong can't remember that there was a big man in the late Ming Dynasty with this name, and the name "Donglin" is like thunder.

The leader of the Donglin Party, surnamed Qian, is in Jiangnan, Guo Wendong guessed that it might be someone.

He said: "Dare to ask Mr. Qian's name? ”

Qian Shouzhi said: "The old man Qian Qianyi is also! ”

It turned out to be Qian Qianyi, indeed one of the leaders of the Donglin Party, Liu Ruyi, who married Qin Huai Bayan two years ago, and built a spectacular and gorgeous "Qianyun Tower" for Liu Ruyi in his hometown.

Liu Ru is a female streamer, and she is still a little virtuous, and when the Qing soldiers captured Nanjing, she persuaded Qian Qianyi to throw himself into the water and die together. Qian Qianyi, who was afraid of death, didn't have the courage at all, so he tried the water first and said that the water was too cold, Liu Ru wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the water, but he was forced to stop him.

Qian Qianyi was a Jinshi during the Wanli period, and was dismissed a few years ago after being ostracized by Wen Tiren.

Although he was dismissed, he relied on the landlord to donate a lot of income, and married Liu Ru, a talented and beautiful woman, and lived a good life.

"It turned out to be Mr. Qian!" Guo Wendong replied coldly. He hates the Donglin Party himself, Qian Qianyi is one of the leaders of Donglin, and he is still a hypocrite, not even as good as a woman.

Qian Qianyi didn't understand why Guo Wendong looked at him coldly, in the Jiangnan area, he was respected by many scholars, and others were polite when they saw him.

Guo Wendong no longer paid attention to Qian Qianyi, and said to Li Changsheng: "Outside Li Yuan, you can go in and trade." ”

Li Changsheng said in a low voice: "I can't hide it, my field in Yingtianfu is entrusted to Mr. Qian's name. ”

I see.

Qian Qianyi said: "Guo Gongzi, after you buy Li Yuanwai's land, you can continue to trust it in my name." ”

Guo Wendong said coldly: "No need, I've already found it." ”

Li Changsheng asked, "I don't know who the person Guo Gongzi entrusts?" Why didn't you come along? ”

Guo Wendong responded: "He is Lord Zhou of the Ying Tian Governor's Mansion. ”

Immediately, several people entered the official office and came to the house.

After Zhou Daofei learned about it, he quickly entered the house.

"Lord Zhou!" Qian Qianyi greeted Zhou Daofei.

The two played against each other.

After Zhou Daofei met Guo Wendong and Li Changsheng again, he did superficial work with Qian Qianyi.

On the surface, it was Qian Qianyi who sold the land under his name to Zhou Daofei, re-made the land deed certificate on the spot, signed and pressed his fingerprint, and finally stamped the seal of the house.

There are two copies of the land deed, one for Zhou Daofei, and the other for the house.

Qian Qianyi handed over the old land deed again, and the clerk found the one that was retained, and destroyed it together with Qian Qianyi's copy, which was done according to normal procedures.

After completing the formalities, Zhou Daofei, Guo Wendong, Qian Qianyi, and Li Changsheng came to a small room, which was the room arranged by Zhou Daofei.

Guo Wendong took out the watch he brought and gave it to Li Changsheng on the spot.

Li Changsheng checked it for a long time and confirmed that it was correct, although it cost a lot of money, he was still happy to get this watch.

Qian Qianyi pulled Guo Wendong aside and said in a low voice: "Guo Gongzi, if you buy new land in the future, you can trust it in my name, and the contribution fee is negotiable." ”

Even if you charge less for benefits, it's better than asking someone else to donate and not getting a penny.

Guo Wendong said coldly again: "No need, I will find a way." ”

With that, ignore the other party's reaction, turn around and walk away.

Qian Qianyi was very depressed, he really didn't understand where he offended Guo Wendong and why he treated him like this!

After Li Changsheng and Qian Qianyi left, Zhou Daofei gave the land deed to Guo Wendong, and then privately signed an agreement to prove that the real owner of the land just traded was Guo Wendong.

After finishing the matter, Zhou Daofei showed a happy look and exclaimed: "Guo Gongzi, your Western shower gel and shampoo are very easy to use, a hundred times better than soaphorn." ”

Guo Wendong said: "Lord Zhou, on the ground of Yingtianfu, I still have to rely on you to take care of it!" ”

Zhou Daofei said with a smile: "It's easy to say, I heard that Guo Gongzi bought a lot of land, and the land he bought in the future can be entrusted to my name." ”

Guo Wendong readily agreed.

Originally, there was a limit on the area of the officials' tax-free fields, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the officialdom was corrupt, and almost no matter how much land the officials owned, almost all of them did not pay taxes, and it is said that Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, had tens of thousands of acres of land under his name.

Subsequently, Guo Wendong took out the best red wine from the box he brought with him and drank it with Zhou Daofei.

After Zhou Daofei tasted it, he praised the red wine as delicious.

Red wine brought a case of more than a dozen bottles, and the rest were given to Zhou Daofei.

Zhou Daofei was a little polite and modest on the surface, so he accepted it unceremoniously.

The two sides were talking, mainly saying some official words and polite words, and the reason why they were able to sit together was because of the need for interests.

Since being reborn in this time and space, Guo Wendong has not left Nanjing City.

Spring in the south is cloudy and rainy, and two days later, the sun rarely shows up, and the spring breeze blows, making people feel a burst of warmth.

Guo Wendong looked at the thermometer, and the temperature reached fifteen degrees.

After buying the land the day before yesterday, I made an appointment to go to the tenants who rented the land for farming to make a notice today, informing the land that the owner had changed.

There were two carriages for travel, one carrying Guo Wendong and Chunxiang, driven by Yu Yufeng.

The other car carried Fang Boxing Li, as well as two staff members and two nursing homes, and one nursing home was driving.

The carriage came to the Zhengyang Gate in the southeast of Nanjing, this is the first time Guo Wendong has a close observation of the city wall of Nanjing, the height of the city wall is about 20 meters, the width is more than 10 meters, he lifted the curtain, looked up at the city tower, quite majestic.

With such a thick city wall, even if it is bombarded with artillery, it is not easy to blast it apart without heavy artillery.

Except for the Shenlie Mountain (later renamed Purple Mountain) in the northeast, the rest of the area in Nanjing is mainly flatland.

Nanjing City Wall belongs to the inner city wall, with a circumference of 35 kilometers and an area of 55 square kilometers in the city, while the circumference of Beijing in the Ming and Qing dynasties is only 24 kilometers.

In addition to the inner city, Nanjing also has an outer city, which has a circumference of more than 60 kilometers, and although it is not as strong as the city wall, it can also play a defensive role.

Between the inner and outer walls, too, there are inhabitants and bazaars, but not as dense as the inner city.

To go out to the outer city wall, it is the real agricultural planting area.

The carriage continued to move forward, and it took another half an hour to come out of the Cangbo Gate in the outer city, and after walking for another quarter of an hour, Fang Jieli got off the carriage and came to Guo Wendong's carriage, and said, "Young master, the fields purchased from Li Yuanwai are all in this area. ”

Guo Wendong got out of the car, and what he saw in front of him was a vast flat land and orderly fields, except for a few hills and mountains blocking the line of sight. The flat land is mainly cultivated land, and houses and farms are located in it, and there are villages further afield.

Looking north, you can see the Yangtze River in the distance.

Fang Jieli pointed to a mountainous area due north against the Yangtze River and said, "Young Master, that place is Qixia Mountain. ”

Then he pointed to the northeast and said, "That place is Baohua Mountain."

Then he pointed to the mountain not far to the east and said, "This is Tangshan."

To the south of Tangshan is a large area of cultivated land, all of which belong to Guo Wendong.
