Chapter Twenty-Eight: Reaching Out and Seeing the Seal

"Zhang Xianling, I heard that you agreed to let those merchants buy fertile land?" Xiao Xiancheng and Zhan Zhubo for the five thousand yuan,.

Zhang Zhong naturally didn't say whether he agreed or not, but asked rhetorically: "I don't know if you two think that good land should be sold?" ”

The two of them paused, glanced at each other, or Zhan Zhu Bo said first, "Zhang Xianling, I didn't see any good land over there, it's clearly wasteland, it's just put there, and it doesn't produce grain, so it's better to sell it." ”

"Who said it was wasteland? Just now, those merchants themselves admit that it is good land, and they are willing to pay a fine every year, according to the things that can be planted in that field, it is difficult to distinguish which place in Bolian County, the lord of Zhan, is it not clear which is good land and which is wasteland? ”

Zhang Zhong did not follow Zhan Zhubo's words, and reprimanded him retortively.

Zhan Zhubo didn't think that those businessmen were willing to pay this money now, and thought that it was what he said at the beginning, in this way, Zhang Zhong could decide by himself, why call the two of them?

Xiao Xiancheng was also wondering there, trying to guess what Zhang Zhong thought, but he couldn't guess at all, so he could only cough lightly and said: "Zhang Xiancheng, since this is the case, then sell it, and you can collect more taxes, and then make up the money you paid." ”

When Xiao Xiancheng talked about the money, he felt that he understood, Zhang Zhong wanted to recover the money, although the money from the sale of land and the money from the penalty were not as good as what Zhang Zhong took out, but at least he could recover some of them, so it was smooth.

Zhang Zhong said at this time: "If you agree, then write a note, and when the time comes, the above will be investigated, and I will wait for them to advance and retreat together, waiting for them to find the owner of the field, spend money to buy it, and let them do their own thing." ”

"Master Zhang is happy, I'll write it later." Zhan Zhubo didn't expect Zhang Zhong to pick things out so clearly, and after five thousand yuan in his hands, he even changed his title.

Xiao Xiancheng naturally has nothing to say, and he also agreed, the three of them wrote a copy, each of them kept it, and when the time comes, the three of them need to share the responsibility because of this matter.

After this matter was finished, Zhan Zhubo and Xiao Xiancheng thought of the place on the other side of the mountain, where no one occupied it, and the land belonging to the government, the two of them wanted to buy it first, cover the store as soon as possible, and don't know what store to open, and think about it later.

Unexpectedly, before they could talk about it, Zhang Zhong brought it up.

"There is another thing, that is, the matter of the mountain, the land on the mountain and under the mountain is like this, I think the mountain is rented out, for example, to build a pavilion, then someone is doing business in the pavilion, and they have to take some money, what do you think?"

"Okay, what Zhang Xianling said is right, there will really be more people there in the future, so naturally I want to rent, I don't know what to do with the land under the mountain?" Xiao Xiancheng really admires Zhang Zhong's mind now, and even thought of this.

How could Zhang Zhong not know the thoughts of the two people, that place now as long as anyone who knows will find a way to occupy it, just now when he was waiting for the lord Bo and the county to come over, the nephew of the former household department Shangshu Bi Gou also sent someone to say.

It's a pity, although the place is good, it can't be given to the nephew surnamed Zheng, don't say it's him, and he can't occupy his own home, that's where Sun Simiao once stayed, and he still has to set up a monument there to engrave a thousand gold squares, how many medical doctors are studying? And how many doctors or apprentices yearn for?

The son said that in the future, it will be very prosperous, there are countless people who come and go, and there will be a view on it, this kind of place with humanistic thoughts, almost a pilgrimage, no one can monopolize it, but can only give up the interests and attribute the income to the county.

The only thing that can be occupied is that there is a blister over there, and it will be made into a lake in the future, connected to the river not far from there, and make some ideas on it, as for the mountain, it will be divided among the people in the court, including the emperor's share.

Zhang Zhong knew that his son meant to sell that piece of land to two people very cheaply, and then the two of them would be unlucky, but it would be too long, how much money could the two people have? Losing two or three thousand yuan of money was so distressed that I almost went crazy.

How much can a merchant give them? How can that little money be built quickly, and it's not your own home, you don't care at all, just this champion will be a small 100,000, and you won't feel distressed if you lose a few thousand, of course, this is impossible, the son and daughter-in-law have this kind of thing in their heads.

"Master Zhang, you are talking." When Zhang Zhong was thinking about things there, Zhan Zhubo couldn't help it, and came close to ask.

Zhang Zhong came out of his thoughts and said, "I know what you two mean, but that place can't be given to you two, that's what he does...... ”

Zhang Zhong said some of the things he was thinking about just now, and he didn't say the one who made money himself.

The two people who heard these words were covered in cold sweat, they didn't expect that there were so many things inside, but they couldn't figure it out, why didn't Zhang Zhong take this opportunity to harm the two of them once, when it really came to that time, no one could protect the two of them.

"Your Excellency, this is ......." Even if Zhan Zhubo has always wanted to get Zhang Zhong down, he has to admire Zhang Zhong's bearing at this time, people obviously have the opportunity to harm the two of them, but it is useless, but they say it instead.

Zhang Zhong didn't answer his words, but said: "I think so, that place should be paid for by the yamen to build one by one shops, and when the time comes, rent it out, and rent it again every three years.

When the time comes, everyone will do business together, even if I don't deserve this county order, the new county order will not dare to fight the idea of that place, there is no money in the account now, I can go out, and then give it to me when the yamen has money, and when I rent it in the future, for three years, the minimum reserve price of each store is 1,700 yuan, or that kind of ordinary small shop.

As for the big one, the price is higher, if you two are willing to rent, you can rent a few rooms to the two of you first, so you don't have to fight with others, my family is also going to get a few, and other people in the yamen, as long as you can afford this money, and you are not renting for others, you can set aside a copy for them first.

Those shops, whoever rents them in the future will operate for three years, and they cannot be subleased for three years, so as not to make the housing prices too high, and the people who come can't afford to spend money, then they will be blind to the place. ”

After listening to Zhang Zhong's words, Zhan Zhubo and Xiao Xiancheng stayed there speechless for a long time, they really couldn't understand what benefits Zhang Zhong did for his family, he could abandon such a big benefit, it seemed that everything was for the people of Huayuan.

This kind of thing is simply impossible for the two of them, what's the use of being a good official if you don't take the opportunity to make more money, is this the difference between rich and poor people?

Yes, the Zhang family doesn't have to work hard to get this money, they have opened a business, but they can't do it themselves, and they have only made some money in the past few years.

Zhan Zhubo was a little shaken, he didn't want to continue to deal with Zhang Zhong, he looked at Xiao Xiancheng, he was suppressed by Zhang Zhong's bearing, this majesty of serving the people, he felt that Zhang Zhong was a gentleman and he was a villain.

Xiao Xiancheng was also thinking about it, but he didn't think that any gentleman was still a villain, he wanted to live a better life, he wanted to become a master, what he thought was that the current emperor was not also in the position after the Xuanwu Gate?

Thinking of this, he made a decision in his heart, "Zhang County Order, since this is the case, I will write another document." ”

He wanted Zhang Zhong to take out more money, anyway, it was impossible for the yamen to have money immediately, unless those businessmen were willing to give him Zhang Zhong money, now it seems that it will not, the Zhang family has money, and they sent ginseng.

Zhang Zhong nodded and said, "It's okay, then write it." ”

The two of them wrote the text as quickly as possible, and pressed their own seals, Zhang Zhong reached into his arms to get the seal, reached in and touched it, his face suddenly changed, there was no seal in his arms, where did he go?

"Well, that matter hasn't been settled yet, I'll think about it when I go back, let's do it today, wait for the merchants to buy other people's land, and then we can do business over there."

Zhang Zhong took his hand out of his arms and said to Zhan Zhubo and Xiao Xiancheng.

Both of them were stunned, and seeing that Zhang Zhong didn't want to say anything else, they could only leave.

"Brother Yong, do we still have to deal with Zhang Zhong? He did us a favor today, otherwise we might have lost our lives if we had bought that place. ”

After going out and walking dozens of steps, Zhan Zhubo said to Xiao Xiancheng.

"What? Are you afraid of him? Don't think I don't know, he didn't say that for us, he was afraid that the delay would be too long, and he really wanted to harm us, so why did we have to fix it over there, and he brought many people over, when would it be? He couldn't wait.

He's trying to bribe us and make us listen to him, which of the two of us is not older than him? He also has a little money in the family, and he wants us to be obedient and dream, after this year, you will be thirty, and you are willing to give him a hand? ”

Xiao Xiancheng's thinking is obviously different from Zhan Zhubo, he is used to being strong, even when Wen Xian Ling is there, what he says has a certain effect, and Wen Xian Ling is just talking to him.

Zhan Zhubo himself didn't have much of an opinion, and when he heard Xiao Xiancheng's words, he immediately explained.

"No, I don't think so, I just think it's too difficult to knock him down, let's take him a look and let him go up, and then we won't have the final say in Huayuan County?"

"Dreaming, Huayuan County will be like Sanshui County at that time, the surname Cheng is gone, and a person surnamed Jia will come soon, we can't let him do things well, otherwise we will never have a chance to let him go up? Why don't we ascend? He has been promoted, and he is still older than us. ”

Xiao Xiancheng said angrily, what he was afraid of was that the people around him would not continue to do things with him.

"My lord, two adults, you are here, look, what have I brought?" A person suddenly ran in front of him, it was that Shen Yuan, who came to the front of the two people, and stretched his hand into the other sleeve as he spoke.
