"The owner of the Qianjiang Inn, come and meet the young master......" Han Laoshan walked into the east courtyard.

He saw the young master Han Qian sitting in the thick shade, writing something on a brief case, Xi Ying and Zhao Ting'er were holding a pole with a semi-disc, and they were comparing and drawing in the corner of the courtyard, and they couldn't help frowning slightly.

He didn't know what the young master Han Qian was tossing at all, he only knew that the young master was tossing one thing, and he would have to consume a sum of money and things like a stream, and he didn't know how long the money and things that the young master collected would be able to toss for him.

"Qianjiang Inn?" Han Qian raised his head and glanced at Han Laoshan suspiciously, and asked.

Yuanshui or Yuanjiang refers to the river from Langzhou to Qianyang, and the section of the river from Qianyang to the southwest is called the Qingshui River, the main stream is more than 1,000 miles, and has been deep into the hinterland of the old county of Qiandong, along the way Qiandong, southwest Hunan and the large and small mountain ranges originate from the streams and rivers that merge in, and also connect the counties, counties, and villages in these areas with Qianyang.

Although Qianyang City is not big, and there are only more than 1,000 households in the city, as the gateway to the old county of Qiandong, business tourism has always been developed, and there are 1,200 large and small shops in the city.

Han Qian was not very familiar with the name Qianjiang Inn, so he must not be the merchant he focused on patronizing during this time.

"It's a guest house with only a bunk, if the young master feels disturbed, I'll send people away." Han Laoshan said with a sneer.

Even if the head of the family said that he was not serving as a assassin, when he was in Jinling, these small characters would come to visit him if he had nothing special to do, Han Laoshan would send him away directly, how could it be that the cats and dogs would come to the door and he would go in and out to report, he was not annoyed, and the head of the family could still calm down and read and write articles?

However, the young master went to Xuzhou to eat all the vegetarian meat, and he did not refuse, as long as he came to the door with a thick face, he did not refuse to come, Han Laoshan felt ashamed, but he was just about to go out and meet him, so he still had to come over and say goodbye.

"Don't, since the guests are all here, how can there be any reason to refuse them? Gao Shao, Tian Cheng, you accompany Han Laoshan to bring people in. Han Qian stopped Han Laoshan and asked Gao Shao and Tian Cheng to accompany him to invite people to the East Courtyard.

At that time, there were only more high-end inns in Tongqu Dayi, and the business and travel in Qianyang City were very developed, but in addition to the brothels and official posts for fun, the ordinary inns in the city mainly provided Datong shops, or worse ones, the soil platform was paved with dry rice and wheat grass, ranging from a few lines to more than a dozen dollars for a night, and a simple meal or hot soup was also provided.

The inn in Qianyang City, which even Han Qian is not very familiar with until now, is obviously simpler and more inconspicuous.

And it was such an inconspicuous inn, the owner of the store came to the door to visit, how could Han Qian refuse to leave?

Gao Shao and Tian Cheng saw that the young master Han Qian looked at him, and they were also sweating in their hearts, Qianyang City is so big, and it is enough for them to eliminate it in the past month, and they didn't see anything wrong with the Qianjiang Inn.

Han Qian beckoned Xi Ying and Zhao Ting'er to put down the things in their hands.

Xi Ying was still awkward in his heart, and walked over and knelt down on Han Qian's side, while deferentially loosening his neck and shoulders for him, while fantasizing about reaching out to choke Han Qian's throat; And Zhao Ting'er stood on the side to show that she had the intention of spying on Xi Ying, but her eyes glanced at Xi Ying kneeling and sitting, and the bandeau in the skirt revealed a large piece of turbulent and hooking breast meat, and couldn't help but think about helping her pull the bandeau higher.

Han Laoshan didn't come over again, Tian Cheng and Gao Shao walked in with two men, an old man and a young man.

The elder was about forty years old, with dark skin, and the years had left deep marks on his face, and at first glance he would be considered a laborer who had worked too hard to survive, and his somewhat cloudy eyes sometimes showed a look of humility and fear.

The young are less than twenty years old, and they are strong, but apart from that, there are no other distinctive features; Carrying a bulging, rather shabby bag.

It is no wonder that Gao Shao and Tiancheng will leak the Qianyang Inn, Ma's business in Tanzhou for three generations, the foundation is deep, from these two almost unexposed dark piles, it can be seen.

"Sit down, let's not play any dumb riddles, what you bring, let me see first." Han Qian stretched his waist and said.

The elder motioned for the young man to place the bulging bag on the brief table in front of Han Qian, and opened it to roll out the golden cakes.

Although it was strictly forbidden to mint private coins after the founding of the Great Chu, in order to ensure that private trade could be carried out smoothly, it was not forbidden to mint coins from the previous dynasty.

Like the Kaiyuan Tongbao of the previous dynasty, it is still the most popular in the states of Jiangnan West Road, and the weight is sufficient, but the only inconvenience is that when trading large quantities of goods, the copper coinage is too cumbersome.

In addition to copper coinage, gold is also a natural hard currency, the world has not yet cast ingots in the habit, usually in the form of two small gold cakes circulation, a cake full of two gold can be exchanged for almost 12,000 coins. And if you convert a cake and two gold into copper coins, it will weigh about seventy-seven catties.

Gold is really a good thing in any era!

Han Qian poured out all the gold cakes in the robe, ten stacks, fifty stacks of gold almost spread out the sandalwood brief in front of him, he picked a few pieces and bit them, looking at the clear tooth marks, his eyes couldn't help but smile.

Five hundred cakes of gold and six million money, if it is really not a loss, it is Tanzhou's handiwork, and the secretary Cao Zuosi saves a little use, and it can almost last for a year.

Han Qian took a piece of gold cake and rubbed it in his hand, smiled and squinted his eyes and said to the visitor, "What do you want?" ”

"We also heard the news that Han Gongzi could let go of the land payment, so we thought that the river was slowly receding, and Wufeng Mountain would be able to connect with the land, or eight or nine thousand acres of land could be reclaimed." The middle-aged man said.

"I'm sorry, Wufeng Mountain, you are late, Yangtan Water Village was destroyed by Zhong Yanhu in Jiangzhou, the people of Water Village escorted my father and son to Xuzhou to take up their post, I have promised to give them Wufeng Mountain to rebuild Yangtan Water Village, you can change places." Han Qian said.

The people who came seemed to expect this, after all, Yang Qin led people to train on the Yuan River, which was based on Wufeng Mountain in the center of the river, and those with better eyesight could see it when they stood on the river beach.

"The beach silt on the outskirts of Eagle Fish Village should be uncultivated, right?" The visitor asked.

Han Qian figured it out, the Qianjiang Inn and the Eagle Fish Village should be the forces that were not cleared when Ma Yuanheng was expelled by the four surnames, because they have taken root in Xuzhou for too long and have been completely integrated into the Xuzhou Hakka nationality, the Qianjiang Inn is just a very ordinary inn, and the Eagle Fish Village is only a small village with only twenty or thirty households, as long as they don't usually expose their own traces, it is impossible for others to detect any problems.

"Okay, with the limit of 5,000 acres of land, the state government will never ask!" Han Qian said.

"These five hundred cakes of gold can buy thousands of acres of fertile land in Jinling!" The person who came said.

"The land price in Jinling is not so cheap, and it will be up to the sky to buy 500 acres of paddy fields." Han Qian said.

"I don't know how much grain to invest in building embankments and silting, and it is too small to limit it to only 5,000 acres of land!" The person who came said, "With a customer like us, I'm afraid it won't be easy for Lord Han to meet in the future, right?" ”

"How much do you want?" Han Qian asked.

"Resettle four or five hundred families, how can one family have to get twenty acres of land to barely survive," the person who came said, "This sale and purchase can be done, and it will inevitably be begged for Lord Han in the future." ”

"The low-lying land in the north of Qianyang City can only enclose 14,500 acres of land at most, and you have to circle two-thirds of it at once, aren't you afraid that the four surnames will jump up?" Han Qian stared at the eyes of the person who came at this time, and said, "You can only have three thousand acres of land in the outer periphery of Eagle Fish Village, and in addition, there are only seven or eight families cultivating there in the sparse north, but the shallow silt land at the mouth of the river may be able to enclose four or five thousand acres of land, what do you think?" ”

"Thank you, Lord Han, for taking care of you." The person who came saluted and agreed with Han Qian's suggestion.

"You don't have to rush to build a village, it's better for people to disperse in, it's ......better to drag the family and bring the mouth," Han Qian instructed in a chattering voice, seeing that the person who came was just staring at the paper and pen placed in the corner of the table, he smiled, brought the paper and pen, motioned to Xi Yi to study the ink, and asked before putting down the pen, "Haha!" What are the requirements for headerhead? ”

"Just let Master Han pay for it." The person who came said.

"Don't you need me to stamp it with the Great Seal of Thorn?" Han Qian asked.

"No, you don't." The visitor shook his head and said.

Han Qian wrote the loan receipt and handed it over, then motioned for Gao Shao and Tian Cheng to send the two away.

Watching the two disappear at the entrance of the courtyard, Zhao Ting'er sat down lazily and said, "Gongzi tried twice, but this person did not hesitate for a moment, and he must be a key figure in Tanzhou." ”

The two of them carried five hundred cakes of gold into the East Courtyard, and Xi Ying faintly thought of something, but when he really heard Zhao Ting'er say it directly, he still couldn't suppress the shock in his heart, and asked sharply: "They are from Tanzhou, and you want to connive at the forces of Tanzhou to enter Xuzhou in a big way?" ”

"You haven't seen it all these days?" Han Qian saw Xi Ying's fuss and said, "It seems that you have to learn from Zhao Ting'er, and there are still a lot of them!" ”

Xi Ying eats and lives in the same room with Zhao Ting'er these days, and she has hardly left Han Qian's field of vision, what Han Qian has to do, what to say to Gao Shao and Tian Cheng, and what to order, she is no longer allowed to avoid it, but Han Qian will not waste his tongue to explain anything to her if he has any plans in his heart.

In fact, Han Qian didn't explain much to Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, and Zhao Wuji, one was to let them think, and the other was to maintain their own prestige.

"If you openly introduce tigers and wolves into Xuzhou, aren't you afraid that magpies will occupy Nestle and make the situation in Xuzhou difficult to clean up in the end?" Xi Ying will not weaken her momentum because she is not as sharp as Zhao Ting'er, and she is even more afraid of the consequences of luring the wolf into the room at this time.

She agreed to cooperate with Han Qian, thinking that the Xi clan could rise again, and that she could avenge the murder of her father and mother, and the extermination of the clan, but she didn't want to see Xuzhou really become a sea of blood.

And in her opinion, Han Qian just wants his father to gain a foothold in Xuzhou, and it should be enough to have Xi and Feng Xuan's two-step secret chess in the current situation, after all, Han Daoxun, as a assassin, himself nominally holds the supreme power in Xuzhou, and at this time, he directly controls the city order, the state prison, the boat gang and other things, and there is a high probability that he will control the commerce and trade of Xuzhou in the future, I really don't understand what kind of intention Han Qian has to introduce the tiger wolf that they can't control completely into Xuzhou?

Could it be that he could count on the two or three thousand people of the Xi clan to really help him establish checks and balances in Xuzhou and Tanzhou?

Even if there is a glimmer of chance, how many people will die in the end of the remnants of the Xi clan, or maybe Han Qian doesn't care about the life or death of the remnants of the Xi clan at all?

"Even if there are still 2,000 people left in your Xi clan, they have been sold to Qianzhong as far as possible, and they have to be redeemed and bought back one by one, you calculate for me, how much money is enough?" Han Qian saw that Xi Ying was still angry, he glanced at her coldly and said, "Also, why do you want to lure the wolf into the room, you can't think through the trick of this, and you can rely on your family to be knowledgeable, after all, it's not enough." If you stay with me, you still have to learn more and see more, don't think that a beautiful face can be worth anything? ”

Xi Ying gritted his teeth bitterly, and as Han Qian stared, he finally lowered his head.
