Chapter 56: A Little Gift (Ask for Recommendation Tickets and Collect)
Li Jian arranged for everyone to live in this house, and then asked the old slave to go to Gangwon County to buy some vegetables and meat.
Chef Wang carries an iron pot and a kitchen knife with him, and he can make everyone have a good meal if he works hard.
Besides, the mouths of this group of people have been raised, and those dry foods are really hard to swallow.
After an hour everyone had gathered together and had eaten, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Along the way, Zhang Yuan talked with Li Jian, and finally got a little understanding of these nobles in the territory of the Han Dynasty.
The city was not for ordinary people, and the houses within the walls were almost all rich and powerful, and the people who owned their own land would settle their homes around the farmland, forming villages and towns.
Li Jian's family and his family's fields are taken care of by tenant farmers on weekdays, and they just pay taxes to their family every year.
The houses in these cities are not expensive, because they have to go back and forth, so the Li family has bought houses in Chengdu and Jiangyuan.
Zhang Yuan also asked where he could buy the fields for farming, and Li Jian also answered.
He said that if Zhang Yuan wanted to buy land, he could find someone to contact him when he went to Chengdu, and some yeoman farmers who wanted to do business or engage in other industries would choose to sell their land first.
In fact, Zhang Yuan didn't want to live in the city, if he could buy a large field on the outskirts of Chengdu, it would be better to live in the countryside.
The Han Dynasty's relatively free land buying and selling policy saved Zhang Yuan from going to great lengths to accomplish the tasks of the system.
After crossing over to the Han Dynasty, except for some conflicts with Zhuo Wangsun in recent days, Zhang Yuan has always been very smooth.
The same was true of the migration process, and there was no danger on the way, and we arrived in Chengdu City in the afternoon of the next day.
Li Jian's family has two houses in Chengdu, and Zhang Yuan directly asked him to take him to the larger one.
There is no other reason, I promised to find a daughter-in-law for these rough men before, I have to honor it, and this time it would be good if I could live quietly in Chengdu all the time.
But when Li Jian brought Zhang Yuan to their door, Zhang Yuan finally knew what a big family was.
This can no longer be called a mansion, this is whether the mansion is good or not, and it is not a problem to live for one or two hundred people.
It is also divided into the inner and outer courtyards, and Zhang Yuan and Li Jian are now walking in the inner courtyard.
"How much does Brother Li's mansion cost?"
The most practical question must be asked first, Zhang Yuan is afraid that he will not be able to afford such a big house.
"If Zhang Gongzi wants to buy it, he only needs a hundred gold cakes."
Hearing Li Jian say the price, Zhang Yuan's whole person was relaxed, and now he can still afford it.
"Okay, let's just go to this mansion, and we'll go to the government tomorrow to trade.
As for the purchase of land outside the city, Brother Li had to worry about it. ”
Li Jian thought that Zhang Yuan might not be able to come up with the money at first, and was thinking about whether to let Zhang Yuan live first, and wait until he had money later, but Zhang Yuan agreed to come down, so that he also had a new understanding of Zhang Yuan's financial resources.
"The matter of buying fields outside the city, who do you think you want to let you manage?"
At present, the tax of farmers is 30 taxes and 1, and if Zhang Yuan buys 30 acres of land, he only needs to pay 1 mu of land every year.
However, at the moment, he has no official position and no position, and he must not do the thing of buying land and becoming a farmer, so he can only let someone hold it on his behalf.
"Just let Ah Huang go."
It's okay to find someone to do this kind of thing, but Li Jian reminded Zhang Yuan that if you want to do some buying and selling transactions in the future, you have to find a businessman to do it instead.
You must be cautious in your actions, and it is very important to treat a person's identity at this time.
"Okay, since it's decided, let's let everyone move in."
Because Zhang Yuan wanted to follow Li Jian to see the house, and he didn't know which house to buy in the end, he asked Xiaoqing to wait at an inn.
directly called the old slaves in Li Jian's family to find Xiaoqing and them, and Zhang Yuan and Li Jian continued to wait in the mansion.
After Xiaoqing and the others came, they didn't expect Zhang Yuan to buy such a big mansion, so Xiaoqing sneaked to Zhang Yuan's back and asked how much it cost.
After hearing that it was still within Zhang Yuan's capacity, Xiao Nizi began to worry about how long it would take her to clean such a large mansion every day.
"Childe, if this house is bought, the maid will have to be cleaned every twelve hours a day, let's change it to a smaller one."
"Haha, don't worry, I won't let you finish all the work alone, isn't there still Lao Zhao Xiong who is bigger than them."
Everyone is very happy, although they may not be able to do their old work after coming here.
There are also some nobles living around this mansion, and if you strike iron here, it is estimated that someone will come to the door the next day.
"Yes, we don't have anything to do in the future, so we will help Xiaoqing clean up in the house."
Li Jian didn't bother Zhang Yuan and them very interestingly, moving to a new house is still a happy thing, what Xiaoqing just said woke him up all of a sudden, and he should also prepare a gift for Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan found out that Li Jian was missing at dinner at night, but the Li family still had a house in Chengdu City, and Zhang Yuan didn't worry about him, thinking that he had gone to that house.
After everyone finished eating, Li Jian came back, followed by twenty women of various colors.
"Brother Li, what are you?"
Zhang Yuan directly thought that Li Jian had gone to a brothel.
"Haha, I heard from your maid in the afternoon that this house is a little bigger, is it troublesome to clean it on weekdays?
I think about it, just more than ten of you live, less popular, Zhang Yuan, you always call me Brother Li, I always have to celebrate your housewarming and send you a gift. ”
Li Jian's gift was the twenty women behind him.
"Are these all handmaidens you bought?"
Zhang Yuan was directly shocked, even if it was King Zhuo's Sun family, they had to be sold voluntarily by others or the government copied a certain big family to buy slaves, Li Jian He went out directly and bought twenty maidservants, which made Zhang Yuan a little confused.
"Yes, I bought it from a friend of mine, and I wanted to buy more and people were not happy, so I had to do it for the time being."
Although Li Jian didn't say how much money it spent, it must not be very cheap, in the face of this kindness, although Zhang Yuan was very resistant in his heart, he still persuaded himself to accept it, after all, these women can enter his mansion, and they are far happier than others.
"Then I'll thank Brother Li next."
"Little meaning, when we go to the government tomorrow to finish the transaction, I still have a gift for you."
And gifts? I can't send a girl who warms the bed this time.
