Chapter 138: Barrel Bridge Town
Early the next morning, Li Chen washed his bed, had breakfast, arranged the children's homework today, and went out with a servant. rushed all the way to the city gate to meet Wang Tong, and the five horsemen went to Barrel Bridge Town.
Barrel Bridge Town is in the south of Pengcheng, nearly 100 miles away from Pengcheng, you can stand it for a day, even if Li Chen rides a donkey and wants to go back and forth for a day, it is very hard, even if the donkey is enduring, so at the end of the day, you have to lose fat.
You can see a lot of pedestrians along the way, Li Chen and they are not too late to set off, but many people are still walking in front of them. Along the way, several people talked while riding.
'Barrel Bridge Town is not under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou Jiedu Envoy? Li Chen asked, "Aren't they all Xuzhou boundaries?" It is the boundary of Xuzhou, but it is not under the jurisdiction of the Xuzhou Jiedu envoy, it is considered to be a place of the imperial court, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Sizhou Thorn History. Wang Tong explained.
Speaking of a balance of power, Barrel Bridge Town is under the jurisdiction of Sizhou City, Sizhou Thorn History has always been a personnel of the imperial court, and Xuzhou Thorn History cannot interfere, which has become a tacit understanding between Xuzhou and the imperial court.
Because this place is very important, it is in the middle of the Grand Canal, and the imperial court even has a salt and iron branch here, if there is a problem here, maybe the entire Grand Canal will be forced to be interrupted, and if the imperial court lets go of the place, it will be the imperial court's head pumped.
There are quite a lot of pedestrians on the road, so it seems that this year will be a good year. Walking along the road, they overtook one pedestrian after another, and there were also vehicles, Li Chen couldn't help but feel that peace was the best, otherwise how could he make money.
On the contrary, the wind and rain have been better in recent years, and then there are these pedestrians on the road. Wang Tong retorted, "A few years ago, there was a slight disaster in the neighborhood, and the road was full of fugitives. ’
'Those dog officials in the government reported the disaster, and they did not give relief, and they were obviously exempted from taxes, but they still collected no taxes at all. Then the faint king also ordered that the other counties that were not affected by the disaster should make up the tax, and those dog officials were exploited again. ’
Sooner or later, this world will be over. Li Chen was speechless for a while, one by one, dog officials, exploitation what, didn't you local clans participate? I'm afraid you local clans are the happiest of all.
'Wang Shuai, can you introduce some of the merits of Ling Zude?' Listening to others is not as true as listening to Wang Shuai. Li Chen didn't want to continue, so he changed the topic.
"What's the problem with that, speaking of what the ancestors did back then, it can really be written as a legend." Ancestor Shangjian always said that when he went to Chang'an to report victory, it was his starting point...', Wang Tong began to talk about how Wang Zhixing rose from a small soldier step by step to become the lord of a place, which can really be called a legend of a small soldier.
After walking for two and a half hours and a little rest in between, they finally bypassed Sizhou and arrived at Barrel Bridge Town. This array is not too big, it is a few miles, and it is not far from Sizhou, but because it is on the side of the Grand Canal, it is particularly prosperous.
Let's go and see the ground first, and then find a place to rest and discuss the situation. Li Chen said to Wang Tong, and Wang Tong didn't have any opinions, so he agreed. Next, a few people began to look at a few plots of land under the leadership of Fang Zhong and Ren Yade in the Tang Dynasty.
The streets of the whole Barrel Bridge Town are a little messy, because there was no planning at the beginning of the establishment, and the streets were spontaneously formed.
It doesn't seem to be a good fit. Under the leadership of Renya, Li Chen and Wang Tong looked at a few places like flowers, and finally stopped to eat at a restaurant in Tongqiao Town.
I ran in a few places in front of me, but it didn't quite agree. It's either that the place doesn't fit in with you, or it's too small. A place is close to a crowded place, but it is small. It's small, and there is still a lack of expansiveness around.
There are a number of shops that are open all around, and the business is good, so it is very difficult to buy and expand the surrounding area. The surrounding area is very large, or it occupies a large area, and it is quite far away from the commercial area.
Although the town has not undergone much planning, it has also developed and naturally formed a commercial area and a residential area. Where there are crowds, it naturally becomes a commercial area, and on the contrary, a residential area is formed.
If you can't do it, you just have to run a few more. Those who don't plan to sell it will also ask, but the price probably won't come down. Li Chen rubbed his chin and thought for a long time that he could only think of this answer. Actually, there is another answer, and that is to wait slowly...
Just because they couldn't find a suitable place, Li Chen and the five of them were about to go home, when things took a turn for the better. A young servant hurriedly found the Tooth Man and told him something, and the Tooth Man took them to various places.
Here, the two of you look at it, but you're satisfied. The tooth man took a few people to a big mansion, which covers a large area and a few acres of land, Li Chen preliminarily estimated that this size is probably not smaller than Bliss. Especially since this place is in the business district.
'This house is well built, and it has been done with care. Li Chen didn't go in to see, they just need the place, it's big enough, the location is good enough, it's no problem, as for the interior..., anyway, they have to be demolished and rebuilt, it doesn't matter at all.
'Here it is. Li Chen nodded, and Wang Tong didn't care. Neither of them asked about the price, so let's talk about it with the owner when the time comes. But this price, probably not cheap, I have to buy it, there is no other place to choose, you don't know when you are lucky, and you will come across such a place. Forget it, it's not bad, settle it one day earlier, complete it one day earlier, and make money one day earlier.
Just when a few people saw it and thought it was quite appropriate, they decided to turn the horse back, and when they turned the donkey back by mistake, Li Chen saw a little girl in the corner looking at this timidly, the little girl was wearing a coarse cloth clothes, but she couldn't hide that the skin under the clothes was clean and fair, which was very different from the dirty appearance of ordinary children.
'Little sister, what about your family?' How alone here. When passing by the girl, Li Chen suddenly felt a little uneasy, and asked a few words in passing. He's not a Lolita.,It's just a little girl running out by herself.,Feel uneasy.,It's a commercial area.,There's a lot of traffic.,If any other person comes.,Kidnapping the child.,When the child's parents want to find someone.,Eighty percent can't find it.。
And this little girl, too clean, should be a good family, in this year, no money to keep the body clean, not dirty, that is not easy.
'Uncle, are you going to buy this house?' Li Chen nodded, then got off the donkey, squatted in front of the little girl and asked, "What, you used to live here?" The little girl nodded, and then she continued, 'Uncle, will you take good care of the house after you buy it?' ', love? It's going to be demolished, what else do you care?
'Ahem, uncle will meet a big house later, and there will be many, many people here, and you can come with your grandmother when the time comes.' Li Chen was embarrassed for a moment, but decided to tell the truth, but he was a little skillful, and he didn't say that I would demolish this place.
'Obviously. At this time, suddenly a woman ran over, the little girl turned her head and just called her mother, she saw the woman rushing over, and pulled the little girl over, Li Chen's smile on her face was a little stiff, this woman is probably not a mother, or the girl has an aunt, or an aunt, so it seems that they are regarded as bad people.
This lady has no malicious intent, she just talks to the child. Li Chen explained with a smile, but seeing that people were holding the child tightly, blocking her behind her, and slowly retreating back with a nervous face, he knew that it had no effect. Unbeknownst to me, at this time, another man ran over and shouted, 'Huihui, run away with Mingming.' ’。
What's going on? Li Chen was puzzled, looked up, and saw that the person was chased from behind and knocked to the ground, and then two young people who were so angry that they crossed him and ran towards here, the woman originally wanted to turn around, so she could only turn around and run.
She just couldn't run fast, the child kept crying, she saw her father being beaten, and kept struggling to get over. One hand is being held by my mother, but the other hand is constantly facing back, struggling to go back. As a result, it really broke free for the little girl.
I don't know why, probably because my hand was too tight, or I was sweating nervously, my daughter's hand suddenly broke free, and as soon as the little girl regained her freedom, she immediately ran back, which made her mother anxious, and she hurried back to chase after her.
But what made her desperate was that the two people were so angry that they chased after here, and the little girl ran back by herself, just in the mouth of the sheep. The two young people were also overjoyed, originally they thought they were going to chase hard, but they didn't expect the little girl to run back by herself, this time the small one was caught, how far can the big one run, and then step up two steps, step forward to arrest someone, and then... And then they flew out.
I saw a young man with fast feet, stretched out his hand, and was about to catch the little girl when he hit him, when a big foot came first, and kicked it squarely, and the young man immediately flew back upside down, and then turned into a rolling gourd. Then, the one who ran so slowly that he followed in his footsteps.
First flew and fell, and then flew and collided, and the two of them collided. Now the two of them could only lie on the ground and howl slowly.
Li Chen kicked over the two of them, took a stride, picked up the little girl first, turned around and stuffed it to the mother who followed.
'You kid. The mother cried with joy when she was lost, and wanted to hit twice, but she was reluctant to start, so she could only hug the child tightly.
And here the accident is fighting, a few people over there are stunned, they were still punching and kicking, but now they are not beating, the two of them went out to kick the person down and stand up, and then one person grabbed the person who had just been beaten, and the others came to Li Chen with great momentum.
