Chapter 170: The frightened Yang family
"Changqing, you, do you want our family to move to the south? However, our family has so many industries and so much land...... The industry is good to say, these lands ......"
The Yang family was originally in a good mood when Xu Changqing 'commented' about the war in western Liaoning, but as Xu Changqing saw the poor dagger and directly said the core, Yang was suddenly a little confused.
Xu Changqing smiled, as if he had been prepared, and said unhurriedly: "Mother, this matter, how can you say it like this, it is really unacceptable." After all, our Xu family has been working in Xujiazhuang for three generations, and it is not easy to have the current foundation. But~, mother, have you ever thought about it, is our land in Jizhen worth it, or is it more valuable to go to Shandong and go to the south? ”
Even if they are the two mothers, but the Yang family is a strong woman after all, Xu Changqing did not intend to let the Yang family accept these things all at once.
Anyway, Xu Changqing still has a lot of time now, and it is not too late to go to Jingshi in early October.
These ten days are enough for Xu Changqing to do the work of the Yang family.
In fact, if it weren't for the two mothers, Xu Changqing would not be uncommon to take the Xu family, after all, the Xu family is thin, and many industries are controlled by his mother's clansman, the Yang family.
But then again, land is no longer a problem for Xu Changqing at this time, you must know that the real noble class of 'Bo' has become a Ming Dynasty can have a certain fief.
Not to mention that if Xu Changqing does the military camp, he will not want the food and salary of the imperial court in the future, and the imperial court will definitely come up with more land to compensate.
Of course, it must be more likely to be wasteland and bad land, but this is not a problem for Xu Changqing.
What Xu Changqing lacks more at this time is people, people who farm the land!
Needless to say, there are nearly 1,000 tenants inherent in the Xu family, this must be in Xu Changqing's pocket.
There are still two or three thousand households around, and the ecological environment here in Santunying is actually very good.
And these people need Yang's help.
Needless to say, even if they are yeoman farmers or even small landlords, Xu Changqing is sure enough to pull them onto his big boat.
It must be known that the Chinese people's demand for land has long been deeply imprinted in their genes.
"This, this must be the land in the south that is more valuable. Our Jizhen is still a bitter cold place......"
The Yang family can lead the Xu family to this point, but it is not weak, and she quickly figured out the joints, but she quickly reacted: "Changqing, the land in the south is good, but we only have so much money, even if we sell all the family business in Jizhen, how much land can we buy in the south?" ”
Xu Changqing smiled: "Mother, this question is a good question, what if I say that these lands are all wasteland, borderless land, and even more fiefdom for your son in the future?" ”
"Fiefdom?"
"This ......"
Yang fell into deep thought.
……
As night falls, the lights come on.
The courtyard inside and outside the courtyard of Xujiazhuang has already turned into a sea of joy.
Even if the front yard of Xujiazhuang is not small, covering an area of more than three acres, it is still impossible to put three hundred tables, after all, there are some scenery that is not very practical and occupies an area.
As a last resort, I could only set up more than 100 tables outside the village.
At this time, it was no longer a matter of ten miles and eight towns around, or the villagers of thirty or forty miles, forty or fifty miles, all of whom were in a hurry to drag their families and rush over, wanting to eat Xu Changqing's flowing water seat.
Don't underestimate the strength of the Chinese when they take advantage of small advantages.
You don't see, in later generations, even if it is just for a raw egg, the free courses of various pharmacies and health halls have always attracted a large number of people of all kinds.
Not to mention, the economy is backward at this time, and many people may not even be able to eat a big banquet once a year.
Who would let go of Xu Changqing's big scene of the pride of Jizhen, isn't that stupid?
Anyway, now that the farm is over, the weather is not too cold, many people don't leave after eating, and they live here directly outside Xujiazhuang with the sky as the quilt and the ground as the bed.
The flowing water seat will be open for ten days, how can you do it if you don't eat enough?
Of course, although this is eating and drinking for nothing, it can't really be eating and drinking for nothing, everyone must have something to do with their mouths, at least they have to praise such a bold Xu family, right?
This also makes it so good that the Yang family has never been so beautiful in his life as he is at this time.
As soon as she appeared, countless people present didn't care about the wine and food on the table, and stood up one after another, calling 'Mrs. Xu' extremely respectfully, and then there were faceless compliments.
Even if he knew that this thing was bought with money, at this time, the Yang family still couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.
What is popularity?
What is fame?
That's popularity and fame!
Seeing that Yang quickly enjoyed this feeling, the corners of Xu Changqing's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
A woman is a woman.
I'm afraid the migration went a lot smoother than I thought.
Xu Changqing quickly reined in his thoughts, accompanied his mother with a smile, and toasted with these villagers from table to table, on the one hand, to make himself familiar with these villagers, and on the other hand, it was naturally for his mother to stand on the scene and make the Yang family more face-saving.
After working for most of the hour, Xu Changqing and his wife finished toasting.
In the back, Xu Changqing was a little tired, but the Yang family was still in good spirits, and he couldn't see that he was half tired, which also made Xu Changqing a little speechless.
Women are creatures that are really incomprehensible at times......
It's all over, and it's finally time for Xu Changqing's family to eat.
Xu Changqing originally wanted to take Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei, Chu Xue and Xian'er and other girls to toast with these villagers and make a familiar face, but at this time, after all, the raw rice had not really been cooked and cooked, so Xu Changqing could only temporarily run aground.
And Xu Changqing's mother and son haven't eaten yet, these girls will definitely not eat first, they are all waiting, after all, they don't eat much, they are all delicate little yellow orioles, and the small desserts provided before have made them eat almost.
When Xu Changqing's mother and son came to the inner hall, a group of girls suddenly surrounded them.
At this time, whether it is Chu Xue, Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei and Xian'er, they are already very familiar, and they are already commensurate with each other, and they can't see that they have just met for a short time.
This also made Xu Changqing have to sigh that women are really born actors.
The Xu family naturally has the rules of the Xu family, which are basically on par with the scholars, and the concubines are naturally not allowed to serve at the table.
However, at this time, Xu Changqing had already occupied a huge dominance, and in a word, the family was happily sitting together for dinner, and the Yang family quickly adapted to it, and began to enjoy this comfort and respect, and the whole person was a few years younger.
Comfortably fed and drunk, looking at the end with a smile, Xu Changqing no longer hid anything, and began to look for his goal with some red fruits.
Several girls naturally felt Xu Changqing's fiery gaze, and they had already drunk a little wine, and their pretty faces were dripping red.
But Xu Changqing just wanted to have a good chat with Xian'er, but he was pulled by Yang's ears and came to the study: "Stinky boy, you haven't married yet, don't mess with your mother!" ”
“……”
Xu Changqing was speechless for a moment, "Mother, this, isn't this okay?" What if I know that I have gone to the battlefield, and the Xu family has not yet arrived? ”
Yang was stunned, and then spat more than a dozen times in succession: "Stinky boy, are you itchy or what's wrong?" It's so late to say such an unlucky thing, quick, quickly apologize to the Buddha. ”
As he spoke, he also ignored Xu Changqing, and muttered something in his mouth: "The great mercy and compassion of Guanyin Bodhisattva, my son is young and young, and he is not sensible, you must not be like him." I must bless my son with peace and security, smooth and prosperous, and a long life......"
How could Xu Changqing not understand Yang's thoughts? This is because I am afraid that if I come to the nonsense, the two daughters will be angry.
I don't know......
When the Yang family finished chattering, his face became solemn, and he looked at Xu Changqing's eyes and said, "Changqing, what do you think about going to the south to buy land?" Where are we going to buy land? ”
Seeing that his mother was successfully introduced into the orbit, Xu Changqing's thoughts of stealing incense and jade were thrown out of the clouds, and he smiled: "Mother, have you figured it out?" ”
Yang glanced at Xu Changqing angrily: "Say it quickly!" ”
In the face of this kind of power, Xu Changqing obviously would not be tough, and said with a smile: "Mother, it is not decided for the time being." However, eighty percent is in Shandong. ”
"Shandong?"
Yang's eyes lit up, "Stinky boy, Shandong is much better than Jizhen." Especially Qingzhou Mansion, it is really a fertile field, far better than hundreds of times our side. But~, over there in Qingzhou Mansion, the land is not cheap, right? I heard that a lot of them belong to the prince? ”
Xu Changqing couldn't help but secretly admire his mother's well-informed, who was a businessman.
In this era, many female dependents live within a very small radius, and even many people have never been out of the county or township where they live in their lives.
"Mother, most of the fields in Qingzhou Mansion are indeed owned by the prince and the local rich households, but what we want to do is not to compete with them for food, but to the coastal areas of northern Shandong, including Tianjin!"
As he spoke, Xu Changqing asked people to bring a map and explain it to the Yang family in detail.
Yang quickly understood what Xu Changqing meant, but for a while he broke out in a cold sweat: "Changqing, you, your appetite is too big, right?" According to this calculation, this, I am afraid that this will not be less than tens of millions of acres of land. ”
Yang almost felt like he was about to explode for a while.
The Xu family has been operating here for three generations, and with the Yang family's marriage, the total land of the Xu family is less than 100,000 mu.
And her baby son has a fluttering mouth, which is tens of millions of acres!
Moreover, tens of millions of acres are still less, if the operation is done properly and the manpower is enough, I am afraid that it will not be more than doubled!
The point is that these lands, her sons, will have absolute control in the future, almost like independent kingdoms......
"Changqing, this, this is not good. When the time comes, if the imperial court ...... Then we're in danger. ”
After the explosive excitement, there was desperate restraint and calmness, and Yang quickly thought of the most critical link.
If the court covets it because of this, it is likely that this good thing will also become a bad thing.
Xu Changqing was in his chest, and said with a smile: "Mother, this is indeed a problem, but the problem is not big." I'm more than ready to deal with it! If possible, I am ready to put all the islands in Shandong, including Liaodong, into our account! At that time, even if our Xu family is not the No. 1 salt merchant in Daming, it will not be much worse. Mother, now it's up to you what you think? If you nod your head, we can do it now! ”
"This, this ......"
Yang suddenly fell into an extremely tangled state.
Seeing that the heat was almost over, Xu Changqing smiled and threw out the last super blockbuster killer feature: "By the way, mother, you already know Youwei's family, right?" According to conservative estimates, Youwei's dowry should exceed two million taels! ”
"What?"
Yang was immediately petrified on the spot.
After a while, she was a little dazed and came back to her senses.
This daughter-in-law is simply a golden branch and jade leaf.
Wrong!
Even if it's a golden branch and jade leaf, it's not so rich, it's a golden doll......
