Chapter 240: Come to the pit
When the eldest Sun Chong set foot on the road to Dingxiang City, Sun Xiangfu also came to Wang Xu's mansion in Shanyang City as promised, those who were already waiting in the hall of the mansion seemed to be a little out of harmony with the environment in temperament, they were actually more suitable to appear in that kind of garden-style ancient house, put on a low desk, and kneel on the ground to talk. Instead of sitting upright on the Taishi's chair, his hands and feet always move unconsciously, and he wants to stand up when he sees the salute.
The youngest of them is also Wang Rui, who has experienced more than two dynasties, at least they are in their forties, this age is already a proper old man in this era, but in this room, there are several people in their sixties and seventies.
Entering the center of the main hall, Sun Xiangfu bowed his hand to everyone before bending down and saying, "Junior Sun Zhengming, I have seen the seniors." ”
These old antiques are the pinnacle of the world's power level, even Li Shimin doesn't dare to hold it up in front of them, people like Wang Xu don't have seats in front of them, Sun Xiangfu is naturally no better, of course, if it weren't for the pit of them, Sun Xiangfu wouldn't have bothered to run over and pretend to be humble!
"Zhengming is now also the respect of the county prince, and he is the chief official of this place, the old man doesn't dare to slack off, please take a seat and ask for tea!"
Although Wang Rui's tone sounded kind, the seat for Sun Xiangfu was the furthest corner of the hall, as for the others, they didn't take a few glances at Sun Xiangfu, perhaps in their opinion, Sun Xiangfu has now become a dog raised by Wang Rui, because whether it is Shuozhou or Anbei Duhufu, Sun Zhengming uses the people of their Wang family as officials.
They don't know that although Sun Xiangfu doesn't know anything about politics and the way of being an official, he knows a core, money, food and army, and if he doesn't let go of these three things, it doesn't matter who is in charge of the rest of the officials.
The kind of tea made of green onions, ginger tea leaves and animal oil served by the maid, Sun Xiangfu is not interested in drinking, in his opinion, this is a kind of soup that has not been cooked, of course, today's business is not to drink tea, after a while, a few more people and old men entered the hall, and after all the seats were filled, the discussion began.
"The distinguished guests can come here to gather, it really makes the humble house bloom! If there is anything inconsiderate about my Wang family, please also ask Haihan. ”
"Wang Rui boy, boring nonsense, don't say much, let's talk about business! Is Sun Zhengming here? How to divide the land on the grassland, give me an explanation as soon as possible. ”
Wang Rui just said an opening remark, and his words were interrupted by others, since the person who came can sit in the position of the guest of honor, his identity is naturally not low, and then look at his white beard and white hair, and his age is at least seventy years old, I can't imagine that his temperament is still so anxious.
"Hehe, don't worry, grandma, nephew, let Sun Zhengming come up and tell everyone."
The person who dares to give face to the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan is really good, it turns out to be Wang Rui's grandfather, and the seven clans and five surnames intermarry each other, and the relationship is complicated, but I don't know which family he belongs to.
Seeing that Wang Rui gave him a look, Sun Xiangfu stood up from his seat in the corner, walked out of the open space in front of the hall, and bowed to the old man, "Junior, Sun Zhengming, I don't know where this old man is unknown, Junior, I can give you an answer." ”
"The old man is Cui Hong, he is so old and still has to be tossed by your kid to this place outside the pass, there is no corresponding benefit, the old man will not stop with you, you can tell me how many fields suitable for cultivation outside this pass, and I and a few others are divided, where do you need to do anything to 'attract investment', and attract all the flies in the world."
The old man's tone is still violent and straightforward, especially when he says his name, as if others must know him.
However, Sun Xiangfu put his position very right, and he was not timid, he represented the imperial court, and he represented Li Shimin, in addition to this, now the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, he is also the biggest fist, who do you need to be afraid of?
"It turned out to be the old master of the Cui family of Qinghe Cui, and the younger generation is polite."
Sun Xiangfu gave Cui Hong a bow again, and organized the language before saying, "Outside the border, surrounded by tigers and wolves, although each family is very strong, but it is not strong enough to ignore those strong neighbors on the grassland, the kid came up with a strategy to develop together with the strength of everyone, and also wants to gather everyone's strength to protect themselves, so that the things we have worked so hard to cultivate and grow can really enter our own pockets, oh, the waist bag is the treasury, the meaning of the money bag." ”
Hearing this, it is not easy for Cui Hong to say anything, when the Turkic people can't survive in winter, but whether you are surnamed Cui or surnamed Li, they will rob, out of risk sharing and safety considerations, it is indeed beneficial to gather everyone's strength, this, as a family for decades, he could not have imagined, of course, the reason why these people invited Sun Xiangfu to negotiate before the investment promotion meeting was to strive for more benefits for their family.
Look at Wang! That's 800,000 acres of spice fields, and the output is sold at the lowest wholesale price, which is more than 10 million yuan, which is almost a few years of tax revenue in Datang.
"There's some truth to what you're thinking, but well! In this land outside the gates, there are good and bad, poor and fat, now, I and a few others are the strongest, this most fertile land, should you leave us a few to develop? ”
Next to Cui Hong, another old man who was not too old spoke.
"I don't know if it's the elder in person?" Sun Xiangfu bowed his hand and said.
"Old man, Fan Yang Lu Heng."
The old man is the same as Cui Hong, when he mentions his name, he looks proud, as if this name is reported, others must be respectful and worshipful, Sun Xiangfu doesn't know how these people have used this posture to walk in this world for a lifetime, anyway, if it is in the future generations, there will definitely be angry young people who will pat their heads with bricks.
"It turned out to be the head of the Lu family of Fanyang Lu's family, the kid has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, so it's rude. The younger generation has already considered this point, and the 5 million mu or so of the first type of land is the land that has been measured by the means of the agricultural gate and confirmed to be the most suitable for planting high-yield crops, and these lands are prepared for all the families here. ”
Fanyang Lu's family, like the Qinghe Cui family, is from Hebei, and is the two big families closest to the grassland outside the Guanwai in addition to the Taiyuan Wang family.
Hearing this, Lu Heng's face softened, not like before, he didn't look at Sun Xiangfu with his eyes.
"In this way, we will discuss with each family, how to divide the five million acres of land!"
With Sun Xiangfu's words, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly relaxed, since the five million acres of the best land are reserved for them, then even if they didn't run in vain this trip, after Zheng Shanxing of the Zheng clan in Xingyang came out to speak, a few old guys sitting on the Taishi chair began to discuss with each other.
Seeing this, Sun Xiangfu silently returned to his seat, let's discuss! No matter how good the outcome of the discussion is, it can be easily destroyed by me with a mouse droppings.
Seven sects and five surnames, no matter how strong they are, they can't ignore all the families in the world, let alone ignore the grasslands, as soon as the auction opens, God knows what price they will call, first of all, in the matter of buying land, Sun Xiangfu will let them blood once.
Now, Sun Xiangfu only hopes that Wei Zheng is really as upright as written in history, and he took the initiative to ask the imperial court to send a superintendent of the imperial history to Shanyang, so he naturally asked them to take the blame, and handed over the matter of maintaining the rules to them, so that Sun Xiangfu could take himself out, and the rules were announced in advance, which had already laid the groundwork for this pit.
Therefore, today's Sun Xiangfu behaved very deferentially, as if he was really in a group with the Wang family, and then, in private, he would also open a small stove for the Wang family, so that in the end, the few families who did not eat meat as they wished hated the Wang family, who called you The Wang family took advantage of the spices, so rich, while fattening the Wang family, Sun Xiangfu quickly developed Shanyang, which is considered a double benefit, but it makes several other families covet the interests of the Wang family, and jointly attack him, which is Sun Xiangfu's first big plan for the family.
In less than half an hour, the seven families calculated the amount of fields that could actually be cultivated and planted according to the number of serfs they had on hand, and reported the total number of fields they wanted, Longxi Li, Fan Yang Lu, and Qinghe Cui were the most, and each shouted out the figure of one million mu, Xingyang Zheng, Boling Cui, and Zhao Jun Li each reported 800,000 mu, Wang Rui originally wanted to report 1 million mu, but later looked at it, just a few of them had already reported more than 5 million mu, even if he didn't report it, it seemed that the fields couldn't be divided, so he looked at Sun Xiangfu again.
It is not so easy to pull the family that has cooperated for hundreds of years onto the track of vicious competition, Sun Xiangfu was prepared early in the morning, and took out a piece of white paper that he put on his cuffs, inside, it was a simple map he surveyed and mapped some time ago, of course, the simplicity he was talking about, in this period, is already a high-level map.
"This more than 500,000 acres of land, I divide it into 100,000 mu to 500,000 mu, the size is different, the water source is different, divided into 27 pieces of land, marked with numbers, you can choose by yourself, when the time comes, you can pick up the selected plots, and the other families will raise their cards to bid."
Since they are not satisfied, then they can only recognize the reality, and the land that each family finally gets will be discounted, and then, everyone began to quarrel around the schematic map of the plot given by Sun Xiangfu.
It's good to be noisy! If you don't stiffen the relationship, how can you fight in the future! This map, Sun Xiangfu has worked hard, no matter how it is divided, there are people who get more, some people get less, and it is almost impossible to connect their own plots together, and then there is, there are remote land, there are land close to Guannai, there are land close to Shanyang, the safety factor is not the same, this cake, no matter how they cut it, it can't be even.
"Wang Rui, you are too shameless, your family has 800,000 acres of spice fields, and you still want 500,000 acres of good land that depends on water sources······
"Cui Hong's old man, don't think that you can rely on the old and sell the old here when you are old, my Longxi Li family is the royal family, there are many people but few land, this year Guanzhong was affected by the disaster, my Li family lost the most, this million acres of land, the old man will not let anyone······"
Sun Xiangfu had expected a similar quarrel, and the image of the sixty or seventy-year-old man who launched a rush was not very good, yes, as juniors, they were a little embarrassed if they were there to watch, Sun Xiangfu gave Wang Xu, who had been standing respectfully behind Wang Rui, a look, and the two walked to the side hall.
