Section 40 Douzhi County (II)

Seeing that Zhao Dayou was about to walk to the door without hesitation, the magistrate was also calm and his brain was fast.

It seems that Zhao Zhuang really wants to buy that piece of land. But it's expensive, and this rough and fierce owner definitely doesn't want it. But who knows what the reserve price in his heart is? I want to grind and discuss, but I'm afraid that people will not be able to take care of it. What good can I do if the land is kept for the imperial court? The Cui family? It's good to be able to give me twenty or thirty taels, and it's only one hundred and eight to the sky. It's not as much as a fraction of the land sold. When the next magistrate comes to take over, I won't be able to catch a single hair

Under the inquiring gaze of the helper, the magistrate gritted his teeth, and finally measured a finger, and said in a low voice: "If it is less than this number, it is sold, and it is not interesting, and it offends the Cui family in vain." Go for it. It's up to you. There is a reward for a good job. ”

The staff understood and hurriedly chased after him, "Hey, I said Master Zhao, don't be in a hurry to go." ”

Zhao Dayou walked along, waiting to verify his youngest son's prediction. Seeing that I'm about to step out of the door, hey, it's really here.

With a little fun in his heart, he paused for a moment, but he deliberately said coldly with a straight face: "What else do you command?" ”

The staff smiled cheekily and said in a low voice: "Lord Zhao Zhuang leads Ruoda Zhuangzi, and he is a person who understands. This business has to be discussed, don't you say? ”

Zhao Dayou hummed, but pouted: "But I don't want to discuss it?" ”

The staff smiled and opened their mouths to explain. Zhao Dayou waved his hand: "There are a lot of things in my village." What kind of charter, you say. I'm still the same thing, Cheng, white flowers and silver are sent. No, pull down. I'm not too rare to ask for it. ”

The staff member Zang tucked his hands to avoid the prying officer, stretched out his five fingers slightly, and said in a low voice: "What does the owner of the village think of this number?" ”

"Fifty taels? Happy. I'll send the silver (here)"

The staff grinned, okay, you really dare to say it. That's the land of the imperial court, hundreds of acres, but there's nothing, the soil is lumpy, and you don't want to touch it for fifty taels. But he had to stop quickly and changed it to say: five thousand. It's halved, enough to save face. You can't get too much.

Zhao Dayou turned his body and stared at the staff, staring at the thin guy until he was oozing, and then glared and said, "Are you relying on the power of the county magistrate and trying to play tricks?" ”

The staff looked at the big hand that was constantly opening and closing in front of them, and was not only a little worried that this majestic owner who was used to killing Liao Kou was angry, and strangled himself to death on the spot.

Zhao Dayou was secretly happy in his heart, but he snorted coldly, threw up his sleeves and walked out of the door, and went straight to the war horse.

There, dozens of vicious men in Zhaozhuang were waiting for their owners.

Liu Wu stood beside the horse and pressed the big knife in his hand, his fierce eyes were repeatedly scanning the county office, and when he saw that the master's house came out, he stepped forward to send the horse, but stared at the staff and sneered and said fiercely: "Owner, I said that they were crazy about money." A piece of rotten land also wants to be exchanged for a mountain of gold. Our family is not bad. The village is surrounded by useless wilderness. Leave the lump to them to play with. ”

The majestic figure left in front of him, and the staff breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said in his heart that this reckless owner was worthy of being a hero who dared to kill the Liao people, and he used to disdain it, but now that he is close, he knows that it is so murderous, and it is scary enough. The commanders of Cangzhou Mansion didn't put so much pressure on me!

Everything is good when you have money. No money fart isn't. If you can't be an official in life, you have to fight for money. Since his life is not in danger, the money must be obtained.

It's just that looking at the attitude of these people in Zhao Zhuang, they really don't support their Zhuang Zhuang's land. That's up in the air. I'm afraid this price can't be much higher

Thinking in his heart, he was bold, and hurriedly caught up with Zhao Dayou, who was about to get on the horse, stretched out four fingers, and said, "Owner, look at this number"

Seeing that Zhao Dayou was annoyed and swept his eyes and was about to get on the horse again, he quickly retracted his finger and changed his words in time: "Ah, no, it's this." Ah, no, it's this. ”

"Oh, I said that the respectable and admirable heroic Zhao Zhuang owner, do you want to buy it?"

Zhao Dayou held back a smile, turned over and sat down firmly to ease his emotions, and then said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" I am a people's husband, the lord of a village, and I am busy looking for food for tens of thousands of people in the village. Are you like you officials and scholars, who are idle all day long and have fun everywhere? ”

The staff was steady, and even secretly happy, gritted his teeth, and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "That's done." Since I really want to buy it. The minimum is one thousand taels. Less, forget it. ”

The words are resolute. But in the end, I was afraid that Zhao Dayou would be dissatisfied and leave, so I couldn't help but explain again: "Owner, for this land, my family is under a lot of risk pressure." You are an understanding person, a wise local gentry, and you have to understand the hardships and difficulties of the county. Alas! It is really not easy to be an official in this land. ”

Zhao Dayou pretended to touch his beard and look at the sky, but in fact he was desperately trying to suppress his smile.

Okay, I finally pressed it down, and I didn't suffocate my old Zhao's stomach.

He took a deep breath, scolded "the thief is cold", and suddenly looked down at the staff and said, "I said, what are you still doing in a daze?" Didn't you see me panicking? Why don't you hurry up and prepare the paperwork and send it over. ”

"Huh?"

"Oooh. Wait, owner. Students come when they go. ”

The staff will be blinded, and they hurried into the yamen, not forgetting to slander: If you don't say it, how do I know what you mean. I'm not a roundworm in your stomach. Really. Today is to look at the face of money. Otherwise, with my means, I will definitely let you

At this point, he could only relieve his anger with Ah Qiu's spiritual victory method.

From 10,000 to 1,000, the psychological gap in the county is too big, I was afraid that Zhao Dayou would not live or die, so he slapped his ass and left, but now he knows that there is a white silver that is going to fall into his pocket, and his heart must be certain, and he can't accept it for a while, and he thinks about whether to try it again, anyway, that fool really wants that field.

The staff understood as soon as they glanced at Zhixian's expression.

I despise this magistrate in my heart, and secretly despise it, but I have to be serious and respectful on my face, and I have to pretend to think about the magistrate wholeheartedly.

"Your Excellency, you have seen it from afar. Then Zhao Dayou doesn't want that land. Zhao Zhuang is indeed not bad wilderness. The student racked his brains to persuade him to agree to pay the money. ”

Give credit first, and lower the expectations of the county. Then urge this incompetent and greedy master to quickly dispel the luck mentality, quickly settle the matter, and get the money in his hands is true.

"My lord, the reckless man is waiting right away. Before the student came back, he said, do it, just ask for it. No return within hundreds. And he went. I'm busy making a lot of money, and I don't have time to spend it on a little bit. ”

The magistrate wants to say: That's him deceiving you.

But I don't dare to delay.

In his opinion, spending money on land that can be used casually is really an unreasonable behavior. Unreasonable person, do you dare to compete with him?

This kind of person wants to come out of the way, but he doesn't care about his temperament. Otherwise, he would not have competed with the wealthy Cui family to find death. It's not unusual that this matter was delayed, and he shook his hand and left.

The staff is very familiar with contract documents, and usually does a lot of work, so they almost don't think about it and do it with a wave.

After stamping the big seal, the magistrate bowed his head and waved his hand. Time was running out, and the staff hurried out.

Fortunately, the owner of the farmhouse was about to lift the reins and urge the horse away. Finally caught up.

"Master Zhao, the title deed is here."

Zhao Dayou looked back when he heard the sound, his face seemed to be a little hesitant, and when the staff nervously opened his mouth to say something, he finally nodded and said, "That's it." The manly husband spits on a pit. I talk counts. ”

A stretch of hand. The staff involuntarily handed over the title deed.

Zhao Dayou looked carefully, it was the piece of land that his son wanted, and it was also around a large area sandwiched between the two rivers, and from then on, the wilderness in the north and south of Zhaozhuang was basically the Zhao family, obviously the staff was afraid that he would regret it, well, very satisfied. Only then did he nod slightly to the staff.

When he saw the price of eighty-eight taels and three, Zhao Dayou couldn't help laughing: There is still a whole zero, and there is something to worry about. This dog official is really bold and greedy, and he is not willing to give even a fraction of the land of the court to the court of a thousand taels. With so many dogs guarding the country, maybe the Great Song Dynasty will really be finished. Yes, prepare early.

Collect the title deed and urge the horse to go.

What about the silver?

The staff member was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his eyes were anxious, and he grabbed the reins desperately.

Zhao Dayou laughed for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Tangtang County Ya, are you still afraid that I will not be able to repay my debts?" ”

I'm not afraid, I'm really afraid.

It's true that you are a people's husband, but you are a local tyrant who is more dangerous than robbers, bandits, and even Liao Kou. The price on the title deed is eighty-eight taels, not one thousand taels. If you cheat, you'll give eighty-eight, and I'm going to throw myself into the river.

Zhao Dayou remembered that his youngest son once said, "The education imperial examination system of the Great Song Dynasty has made some scholars, but it has harmed more scholars." Those who have worked hard in vain for their studies have not been able to succeed in the east, they are down, and they have even died for the sake of reading, which is actually very pitiful", and then looked at the thin staff member who stopped in front of the horse in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel deeply, and his attitude became much kinder.

"Don't worry, just go get it with me. I'll ask Liu Wu to escort you back. ”

The staff was relieved, but hesitated again.

Zhao Zhuang is famous, and for him it is not inferior to the Longtan Tiger's Den. I was numb with a B, I was going to go, I was slaughtered by you, my body was burned or thrown into the sea, my body was destroyed, and there was no proof of my death, didn't I die unjustly?

"What's the matter with you? Reading and reading, can reading make the courage smaller? ”

Because of his disappointment with the official who was studying and working, Zhao Dayou was a little annoyed, and after scolding the staff, he waved his hand, "Liu Wu, find him a horse, accompany him and then accompany him back." ”

The dignity of the scholar was insulted, and the staff member was enthusiastic, let go of the reins of the horse, and said angrily: "Hugh looks down on the scholar. Today, I'll go to your Zhaozhuang to have a look. ”

"That's right. I'm not a man-eating tiger. Are you afraid of a bird? ”
