Chapter 134: Buy Land!

All the way back to Jinzhou, Tang Cheng rested at home for two days before returning to Jinzhou Yamen on duty.

In the official room, Tang Cheng was holding a hot tea cup, blowing tea bubbles, and asked Feng Haizhou, "How is Cao Li recently?" When Tang Cheng left that day, he had designated Lao Cheng's Feng Haizhou to be in charge of Cao's internal affairs, because he asked for this.

"These days are just routine things, nothing special."

Seeing that Feng Haizhou looked a little speechless, Tang Cheng put down the teacup in his hand, sat up straight, and said solemnly: "What's the matter, someone in Cao Li doesn't listen to the call?" Say whatever you want."

"It's not true, it's just that Chen Senjun has come to Caoli many times in the past few days to ask where the adults are, and listening to the meaning of his words, it seems that he was instructed by the other adults to inquire."

"Well, I know", Tang Cheng nodded, this old guy really "cares" about himself! It is not possible to ask for leave under the direct care of Sun Yuanjun, or is it precisely because Sun Yuanjun takes care of him that he is so "concerned"?

Seeing what the judge was thinking, Feng Haizhou, who had finished speaking, was about to go back to the big official room outside, but when he walked to the door, he was stopped, "I remember that Cao Li has a geographical map of the mountains and rivers of Honshu, bring it to me to see."

Feng Haizhou went out with an "oh", and after a while, he brought a map drawn on sheepskin.

This geographical map of mountains and rivers is too rough, and it is a complete map of Jinzhou and its subordinate counties, and the scale is so large that he can't find what he wants to see on it.

After a glance, Tang Cheng pushed the map aside, "Haizhou, go, go out with me."

Seeing that they were all out of the city gate, Feng Haizhou, who had always been calm, couldn't help but ask: "My lord, where are we going?" ”。

"Three pools of the moon". After replying casually, Tang Cheng, who went out of the city gate, clamped the horse's belly, and the official horse under his crotch ran up.

After these several long journeys to and from Yangzhou, Tang Cheng has completely practiced horseback riding, and it is precisely for this reason that he who used to regard horseback riding as a daunting way now likes this feeling of galloping at high speed under control. It's a pity that these are all official horses riding now, and they are stable, but the speed is really not fast.

"Three pools reflect the moon!". Feng Haizhou didn't understand how the judge who had just come back could think of going to see this in a hurry, but his "nature" had always been calm, so he suppressed his doubts and "confusion" in his heart and didn't ask anything.

All the way to the Hanshui River, the "tide" wet river breeze with a winter cold air came to his face, Tang Cheng wrapped the wind on his body tightly and turned over and dismounted.

In winter, the Santan Yinyue Wharf is desolate, except for three or five small boats on the ground, there is nothing on the water surface quietly, it is a pity that such a good deep-water wharf can berth big ships.

Although it is to see the three pools and the moon. But Tang Cheng's attention was not on the wharf, and what made him happy was that the impression left after bringing Li Yingjun and Lancao that night was indeed correct, there was a flat and wide river beach not far from the upstream of about six or seven hundred meters from the wharf.

"Let's go, take a look over there." Tang Cheng pointed to the river beach with a horsewhip, and the people should have led the horse away first.

Feng Haizhou was confused by Tang Chengdi's actions, and ran to the river in the winter, saying that he wanted to see the moon in the three pools. Why did you get to the place and leave without stopping?

This river beach was paved with large and small pebbles, and Feng Haizhou was very uncomfortable walking on it, but what made him strange was that Tang Cheng was not only not the slightest impatient, but had a slight smile on his face.

"What's wrong with Judge Tang?" , When Feng Haizhou was muttering in his heart, he saw Tang Cheng walking in front of him stop, "Haizhou, is there such a river beach on the nearby river bank?" ”。

"Nope". Seeing Tang Cheng looking over, Feng Haizhou nodded affirmatively, "This piece is in the hands of his subordinates, so he knows."

Si Tiancao is responsible for managing all the fields in Jinzhou, and Feng Haizhou is in charge of this piece, since he said that there is no, it must be not.

"Hmm", hearing this, Tang Cheng nodded, turned around and raised his horsewhip and said, "How big is this area?" ”。

Tang Cheng's horse whip refers to the extension of the part behind the river beach towards the Jinzhou city wall.

"More than 470 acres. Kindness...... is four hundred and seventy-three acres."

"Oh! So accurate". Tang Cheng turned around and said with a smile: "Haizhou, you really have a good idea."

"My lord has won the prize, and this is a subordinate position."

"Good. If everyone in Bencao can be like you, then I will have a lot of peace of mind", seeing that Feng Haizhou was a little embarrassed to be praised by himself, Tang Cheng laughed, "By the way, whose property is this?" ”。

"It's not anyone's house, this is official land", Feng Haizhou pointed with a horsewhip: "My lord, don't look at the flat ground over there, in fact, it is all the same as the stones under our feet, but it is smaller, the stones used to be sand, not to mention planting rice and wheat, beans can't be planted, and there are people willing to buy it?" ”。

Feng Haizhou kicked the pebbles on the ground with his foot and continued: "Since Emperor Gaozong set the capital of Chang'an, it is now a hundred years, most of the acres of land in our Jinzhou have been poured a few hands, only this river beach has never been sold, this price has dropped from four runs and one mu in the time of Gaozu to three runs in the time of Taizong, and then to two runs in the previous dynasty, and still no one buys it, not only no one buys it, but no one even asks."

"It's a pity to be idle", after listening to Feng Haizhou's words, Tang Cheng's spirits were greatly lifted, "Let's go, let's go back."

"This is going back?" , Feng Haizhou was stunned, "The three pools of the moon?" ”。

"It's time to see everything, let's go!".

After the yamen dispersed at noon, Tang Cheng did not go home directly, but went to Wu Yujun's tea house.

There was still only one Xiao Er sitting in the shop, but after seeing that it was Tang Cheng who came in, this Xiao Er, who can be called the biggest brand in Golden State, greeted him with a smile, the identity of the person was different, and he also saw that the Tang Judge Division and his boss in front of him were going to wear a pair of pants recently, and they were really lazy.

"Alright. Don't pretend to be your kid", seeing that the little two were courteous, Tang Cheng smiled and waved his hand, "Go, invite your boss out."

After a while, Wu Yujun, who yawned and was still sorting out his clothes in his hands, lifted the curtain and walked out.

"Looking for me?" , Wu Yujun got his clothes in three or two. Pulled up Tang Chengcheng and walked out, "Go to the tea shop in front to talk."

"When did you get up, and this day is too comfortable."

"There's no way, the last time I walked on the ground, this time my daughter-in-law and 'wife' are very entangled", Wu Yujun smiled and whispered with a dead face: "Our brothers don't hide it from you, in the past two days, my brother and I are now soft legs."

Let my sister-in-law hear this. I have to skin you alive", Tang Cheng joked, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, I'll tell you something."

"You say".

"How much deposit do you have on hand from the maritime merchants?"

"My sister is in charge of this", Wu Yujun stopped. "What, you want to use it? How much? ”。

"A thousand runs, urgent".

Hearing this number, Wu Yujun was stunned. "What's wrong, what's going on? Still in such a hurry? ”。

"Don't ask about this, private matter", Tang Cheng smiled and diverted the topic, "How about it, can you take it out?" ”。

"Yes, why not? The money given by the maritime merchants is 40%, and my sister sends 20%. It's no problem to take out a thousand guan now", Wu Yujun's honesty made Tang Cheng both a little surprised, but also a good feeling, and reached out to pat Wu Yujun on the shoulder, "Okay, enough brothers."

"Since it's urgent, let's go directly to my sister", Wu Yujun really didn't delay at all. Turning around, he changed direction. "Ah Cheng, what are you talking about, this year's tung oil business can reach this point. It's all about you, not only me, but also my sister and brother-in-law, and besides, if you want to take the remaining sixty percent, the maritime merchants must not look at your face."

"Okay, don't me."

"I can take it as soon as I go", at this point, Wu Yujun made a bitter face, "Just one, I just hope not to touch my brother-in-law."

Tang Cheng didn't understand what he said, "What's wrong with Lord Jun?" ”。

"Who knows what's wrong with him? It's been a lot of anger these days", speaking of Sun Yuanjun, Wu Yujun's face was stinky, "You said that my trip was easy, I, I have no merit and hard work, right?" He's good, it's been a few days since he came back, and it's really ...... to see that I haven't given a good face", in the end, Wu Yujun still held back and didn't say anything more ugly.

"It's also that Lord Junjun is in a bad mood, you have to be considerate of this", Tang Cheng persuaded in his mouth, but in his heart he understood the root cause of why Sun Yuanjun was so so.

How did Sun Yuanjun become a thorn in history, he knew it in his heart, and he must have understood that he was afraid that he would not be able to escape this officialdom earthquake, and now that he was classified as the prince's party, it would be strange if he could be in a good mood.

Thinking of this, Tang Cheng also has no way, whoever gets involved with the abolished prince Li Chongjun now will be unlucky, not to mention that he doesn't have that ability, even if he has, he can't help.

The bigger the official is, the heavier the fall will be, thinking about Sun Tingshi's care for him in the past few days, Tang Cheng is also embarrassed in his heart, I just hope that he will not be implicated too deeply. As long as the people who are not deeply involved can be saved, and there is the profit of this tung oil business, even if he is not an official, his life is still very good.

Maybe it was Wu Yujun's chatter that played a role, Tang Cheng and the two really didn't see Sun Yuanjun when they arrived at the Assassin's Mansion.

Mrs. Sun has just come back from burning incense in Lankong Temple outside the city, and she is worried these days, and she wants to "" the tung oil business, although she saw Tang Chengshi's smiling face, but the worry and fatigue between her eyebrows could not be concealed no matter what.

Mrs. Sun wanted to cover it up, Tang Cheng just didn't know, and after greeting her, she opened her mouth to talk about the thousands of money, and as Wu Yujun expected, Mrs. Sun nodded without saying anything, and immediately beckoned someone to get a ticket.

Knowing that they were in a bad mood, Tang Cheng didn't plan to stay longer, and after getting up to say goodbye, Mrs. Sun sent him all the way to the door of the inner courtyard.

"Madam, please stay", he just walked out of the inner courtyard a few steps, but heard Mrs. Sun behind him say: "Tang Cheng, you wait."

Tang Chengzhong walked back again, "Madam, what's the matter?" ”。

"Hey!". Mrs. Sun let out a long sigh, "Let's go, go to the study and talk."

This is the second time Tang Cheng has been to the study of the envoy's mansion, the first time he came, he was just a knife and pen official of the Yunxi County Ya, and he brought the forbidden son to talk about Yao Dongqi, that is, the first time he saw Sun Yuanjun, but the two didn't say anything.

The last time he came, Sun Yuanjun was still the first person in Jinzhou; This time I revisited the old place. The owner of the study has been in a predicament, and the changes are so great that the ups and downs of officialdom really can't be said.

Tang Cheng saw that Mrs. Sun did not call someone, but wanted to serve him tea in person, so he hurriedly got up to let him, but who knew that Mrs. Sun was unwilling and insisted on serving him a cup of tea.

"Madam, you ......", Mrs. Sun, who was sitting a few minutes away from Tang Cheng, waved her hand. After a moment, he spoke: "Tang Cheng, how do you think my family treats you?" ”。

"Madam, this is the local language, so that Lord Jun has the grace of knowing me, this is still needless to say", Tang Cheng agreed in his mouth. quickly calculated in my heart, Mrs. Disun today is really too abnormal, there must be something, and it has to be a big thing.

Sure enough. Mrs. Sun's subsequent sentence was, "Listen to my brother who is not a good person, the new Yangzhou City Envoy Zheng is very ...... to Tang Cheng Appreciated? After hesitating for a moment, Mrs. Sun finally used such a word.

"It's some friendship", she asked vaguely, and Tang Cheng answered vaguely.

"I heard that this Lord Zheng and Shangguan Zhaorong in the palace are relatives of my aunt", said here. Mrs. Sun's eyes were full of sorrow, and there was a sparkle in her eyes.

When Tang Cheng was about to answer, he suddenly heard a slightly heavy inhalation sound from behind the bookshelves in the study, which was not loud, but because it was too quiet in the study, he could hear it clearly.

As the leader of the assassin history, he wants to go to his subordinates, and Sun Yuanjun, who was born as a scholar, still can't erase this face. For ancient scholars, it was almost a common problem to have a good face or a high face. I'm afraid that Sun Tingshi, who is hiding behind the bookshelf now, doesn't feel very uncomfortable, right?

Tang Cheng deliberately didn't look at Mrs. Sun, who was a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and held the teacup and said, "Yes, what Brother Wu said is good."

can control her husband to death. Mrs. Sun, who can fully "manipulate" the outside business, is really not an ordinary woman, she should be tall when she should be upright, and she can also put down when she should put down her body, and after telling Tang Cheng the ins and outs that she already knew, then what she said was just as Tang Cheng expected in her heart - to pass through him, and then borrow Zheng Lingyi to go to Guan Wan'er's door.

Tang Cheng really wanted to refuse this matter, and no matter how Sun Yuanjun was an official, it was good for him, and now he went to Shangguan Wan'er, for Sun Yuanjun, it was a typical talent to leave the wolf's den and run to the tiger's mouth, but he couldn't explain it like this, what to say? Say I know history, and I'll be unlucky if I get involved with her now?

There was no way to explain it, and in the face of Mrs. Sun with a face full of hope, he really couldn't refuse.

The matter has come to this point, and the situation has also been "forced" to this point, Tang Cheng has no other way to go, whatever, let's go through the current level first, as for what happens in the future, it depends on Sun Yuanjun's creation.

"I can go to the state government, and it is the envoy who can serve as the commander of the Sitian Cao Judgment Division, and I only hope to make the monarch good, but the matter of abolishing the prince is too big, and I really dare not fight this guarantee", Mrs. Sun's face darkened when she heard this, and when she was about to say something, Tang Cheng continued: "I will repair a letter by Brother Wu and go to Yangzhou again, it was common to meet a few days ago, and Lord Zheng is also familiar with him, I have no problem contacting Shangguan Zhaorong, but what can I do if I go further, it is really not my knowledge."

"If you can get in touch, you can go to Beijing to see Shangguan Zhaorong, as for the rest, it's up to people", listening to Tang Cheng finish the second half of the sentence, the frustration on Mrs. Sun's face turned into joy.

Shangguan Zhaorong, that is known as the "Inner Palace Maid", and the official Zhaorong on the ground! His own man was just implicated in the case of the abolished prince, and with his position, he couldn't participate even if he wanted to, not to mention any major crime, as long as Shangguan Zhaorong could say a word in this case, this pass would not be loose? As long as the person is fine, the official will be demoted, and the transfer will be transferred, as long as you can rely on such a hard relationship this time, it will not take three or two years to get up again?

With extreme gratitude in her heart, Mrs. Sun actually got up to salute Tang Cheng and thanked her, but after a while of persuasion, she was finally relieved.

Mrs. Sun personally studied and wrote, Tang Cheng did not finish the letter, and stayed in the palace at noon to eat, after the meal was arranged, Sun Yuanjun also arrived at the flower hall, and resumed the light and elegant of the very Jiangnan and Jiangnan between the leisurely paces.

After arriving at the Ya in the afternoon, Tang Cheng first called Feng Haizhou in.

"Haizhou, I bought the piece of river beach land that we looked at together in the morning."

"What?" , Rao is Feng Haizhou was calm, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and when he was carrying the tea pot to pour water for Tang Cheng, his hand shook, and the tea flowed out.

"My lord......", Tang Cheng waved his hand to stop Feng Haizhou, who was about to clean up, and said with a smile: "I'll just clean up myself, you go and call all the people in charge of buying and selling official land in, strike while the iron is hot, and let's go through the formalities."

"My lord, that land is either stone or sand, but nothing is produced", Feng Haizhou, who was surprised, turned his head and said a word when he walked to the door.

"I know, it's a pity to be idle", but Feng Haizhou's sincere reminder still moved him a little, and while wiping the water with a rag, he said with a smile: "Haizhou, I will leave you ten acres of these four hundred and seventy acres of land, if you want to buy it, I will give it to you at the original price no matter when."

"Thank you, sir", Feng Haizhou saw that Tang Cheng had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything more, but anyone could hear this thank you and it was purely polite.

Seeing him like this, Tang Cheng smiled and didn't say anything more.

The sale of official land was supposed to be in charge of Si Tian Cao's share, and after a while, Lao Liang, Lao He and Miao Shi, who were specifically responsible for handling this matter, walked in, and the expressions on their faces were exactly the same as Feng Haizhou just now, and they were obviously confused by Tang Cheng's move.

Lao He was in charge of writing the official deed, and after he looked up at Tang Cheng, he turned his head and said: "Lao Liang, I have been playing on the river beach a lot, and it couldn't be clearer, except that stones are sand, not to mention growing grain, it is difficult to grow grass!" Nowadays, the medium-sized "color" slope is only four or five acres of land, so it is too expensive to have two acres of river beach land. This official price book is in your hands, and a document should be attached to explain it, and then the judge will use it to reduce the price after printing", at this point, Lao Liang turned his head to Tang Cheng and said with a smile: "It's okay to lose this to others, isn't it a joke to lose to adults?" ”。

"There's no need to reduce the price, my identity is in charge here, and I don't have to let people poke our Si Tian Cao's backbone", Tang Cheng finished speaking, and arched his hand with a smile, "Your kindness is understood, or according to the charter and the law."

His words naturally attracted praise from Lao He and Lao Liang for a while, and even Miao Shi, who had never spoken much, sincerely said a few words of admiration.

After Lao He wrote the official deed in duplicate, Lao Liang resigned and signed, and indicated the land price and total price, Tang Cheng stamped the seal of Sitian Cao, reached out and took out the flying money and handed it to Miao Shi, who was in charge of the money.

At this point, the sale of official land is officially completed.

Four hundred and seventy-three acres of river beach land, according to the official price of 946 yuan, although Lao He and the others were curious about how Tang Cheng had such a large sum of money, but after all, he was a Shangguan, so he was embarrassed to ask.

Two copies of the official deed, one for archiving, and one for the landlord Tang Cheng, after Miao Shi, who sent the money to find it, also withdrew from the official room, Tang Cheng carefully picked up his official deed and carefully dried the ink on it one by one.

After all the ink on the official deed was dry, Tang Cheng comfortably went through every word on the deed, and muttered: "Yu Dongjun, come early, how much can my land appreciate, but it's all about you."
