Chapter 43 Then to Hongshan Township

After Steward Zhao came to talk about the house, Xu Qing kept thinking about it in his heart, and the next day he called the guards, took the carriage and rushed directly to Hongshan Township.

The first time I went to Hongshan Township, I just came to see the representatives of the tenants, and showed my face for people to get to know them. It can be said that Hongshan Township recognizes him, but he doesn't know Hongshan Township yet. Xu Qing sat in the carriage and looked at Hongshan Township carefully, looking at the land, mountains, forests, streams and rivers of Hongshan Township.

He found that the land in Hongshan Township was generally more fertile than that of Xuzhuang, at least it seemed that it was not as dry and waterless as Xuzhuang. Moreover, there are more crops in Hongshan Township than in Xuzhuang, and there are some things that Xu Qing still doesn't recognize, and he doesn't remember eating them, maybe they are some unique wild vegetables, of course, Xu Qing looks like "wild" vegetables.

In addition to the fertile land, the people are almost the same as the original Xuzhuang, sloppy, and the old clothes and rags are not much better. It seems that it is not the fertility of the land that determines the living standards of these people, but the fertility of the land that determines the living standards of another group of people - the landlords.

Finally enough of seeing the customs and customs of Hongshan Township, Xu Qing didn't look around, he sat up with all his heart, and when the cattle graze, he drove the carriage faster. After a while, they arrived at the territory of the Hu family. The reason why it is said to be the territory of the Hu family is because the Hu family's house has not yet arrived, and it has only arrived in the village where the Hu family's tenants live.

Xu Qing became interested again, looked around in the carriage, and found that these tenants were a little peculiar, more than a dozen thatched houses were on the periphery, and some of them were actually half-formed small streets, with several shops on both sides of the small street. There were blacksmiths who made farm implements, carpenters, wine sellers, and a few miscellaneous goods. Xu Qing was very strange and asked the cow what kind of place this was, and the cow grazing replied:

"Sir, this is where the Hu family's tenants and craftsmen live, his family's craftsmen are complete, and he also makes utensils for other people's families when he lives here, and the weekday grass market is probably also held here."

So it turned out, Xu Qing began to admire the steward of the Hu family a little, and he actually made a small market town, and there was a lack of such a person in his own family, Xu Qing began to pay attention to digging corners. After all, Uncle Zheng and Xiaoyue are not professional, they are okay to keep their success, they rely on their duties, they will not lose, but if they expand their family business, they can't rely on them.

In contemplation, the Hu family's house arrived. With the guards, Xu Qing naturally didn't need to do this kind of thing, and after waiting for half a cup of tea, a fat middle-aged man came out with Steward Zhao, different from Xu Qing, Hu Fu made people feel the breath of a landlord from afar.

Hu Fu waved his hand beside the carriage, smiled Yingying and invited Xu Qing to get out of the car, and then bragged and flattered. After the usual good words were finished, the people on both sides did not delay, and went straight to the topic, Hu Fu took Xu Qing and began to visit the house.

The Hu family's house is really big!

Although the imperial court stipulates the houses of ordinary people, if the population of a family increases, you can't let others live in it. In addition, a family does not divide the family and lives together, so that a large house can be built, and the garden is not considered area. In the same way, as long as it is not too excessive, the government will not take care of this, but the officials themselves have very strict requirements for their own houses.

The house where the Hu family masters live has two attics, each of which is larger than Xu Qing's, and there are fifteen rooms for the people alone, as well as a firewood room, a kitchen, and even a special canteen for the people. In addition to the main body, there are some storehouses, small pavilions.

"Mansion!" Xu Qing sighed in his heart: "My house is a farmhouse, and the Hu family's house is called a villa!" Xu Qing pretended to be indifferent, his face was calm, and he bargained for a while, the last thousand eight hundred and fifty taels, and then two hundred stone wheat. Xu Qing agreed, anyway, he had a lot of food.

After the price is agreed, you have to wait for the owner of the house to pass the paperwork, and all kinds of procedures have to be done. Xu Qing couldn't be in a hurry, because he didn't have any money yet. Xu Qing's money had to be asked Guan Xuan to get it, so Xu Qing had to drive to Guan Xuan again.

"Lord Xu, you are here, the house is still in the process of choosing a land, but the style has already been chosen......" Guan Xuan said with Xu Qing.

"It's okay, it's okay, the supervisor is building, don't choose the place, you tell me how much money is allowed to be given." Xu Qingxin said fortunately, he didn't start work, otherwise the money would have been spent in vain.

"Jue... Sir, three thousand taels of silver are allowed on it, and let the place give the material ......"

"That's right, I'm going to buy the Hu family's house, do you think I can use the money to buy it?" Xu Qing asked.

"Ah, of course you can, the people of the Hu family have also looked for me!" The Hu family asked Guan Xuan a few days ago, and Guan Xuan was very willing to do this, and he was afraid that Xu Qing would not like it.

"That's good, just change the Hu family's house, and then the remaining two granaries will follow the original plan, I will agree with the Hu family, 1,850 taels, plus 200 stone wheat, you don't care about the wheat, just take the money." Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay! I'm going to make it look like a new house for you. Guan Xuan agreed very happily, as long as the house was renovated, there would be hope for the winter solstice festival when he went back.

"Very good, change the house first, don't rush the warehouse first......" Xu Qing promised Xun Xue'er to marry her within a month, from the Hu family to the time it is about renovated, about twenty days is enough, Xu Qing thought, huh? Didn't Steward Zhao say, aren't the artisan tenants all counted as me, that small market town can be used to do some business, you can get a small workshop for grinding tofu, it should be able to make money.

Thinking of business, the pigs in Zhuangzi will be slaughtered in two months, and a few dishes must be made to make the reputation of the pork better, so that Juqi can sell it at a good price.

Xu Qingchun was proud, changed horses with the guards, and rode home by himself, wanting to share these gains with Xun Xue'er as soon as possible, to see if Xun Xue'er could let him kiss for a long time, if Xun Xue'er was happy, maybe he could relieve Luo Shang and go on the Lanzhou alone, hehe.

A month ago, a village in Shandong:

Zhang Zhong's old illness recurred, and the doctor was powerless, and he was lying dying in his small house at this time. In the end, he still failed to marry a wife and have children, and enjoyed his old age in peace, at this time next to him was a very handsome young man, about fifteen or sixteen years old, this is Zhang Zhong's nephew. Zhang Zhong's younger brother also went early, and there was only such a child left, so Zhang Zhong let him pass under his name, but he didn't expect that in such half a year, Zhang Zhong himself would also leave.

"Here, here is a letter, you are obedient, after I die, you sell all the houses, don't live in this col for the rest of your life, you can't keep this family property. You will go to Henan, Luonan County, and find Xu Chuliu......" Zhang Zhong laboriously ordered this, and he couldn't hold back his last breath, and he was unwilling to die like this with his eyes open. Only the teenager was left stunned and at a loss.
