Lu Han laughed, "Speaking of which, I can't do much." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Chu Suiliang was so anxious that he knocked Xu Jingzong hard, "I want you to talk more!" ”

He clasped his palms together and begged Lu Han: "I really want to move, Brother Lu must help my younger brother with this." ”

Lu Han took a sip of wine and said slowly: "It's okay to ask me to help, but you have to explain to me clearly, why don't you look down on the daughter-in-law of the Yu family?" ”

Chu Suiliang was helpless, so he had to say: "I don't look down on her, we have been married since we were young, and we will marry her in a few months, but it is not very convenient to live there, although the teacher did not say anything, but I feel that I should leave." ”

"I see, it seems that I am wrong to blame the virtuous brother, in fact, I have already found a house for you, not far from your current residence, a small house, about one and a half acres, the rent is ten yuan per month, the owner said, if you are willing to pay the rent with gold, he can make another concession in terms of the proportion of copper coins."

Chu Suiliang immediately readily agreed, "Then it's a word, I'll go to see the house tomorrow." ”

Chu Suiliang's family is a wealthy family in Yuhang County, and their family is not short of money, but they lack connections in Zhongdu, so they ask Lu Han for help.

Zhao Siliang next to him heard it secretly, the rent of a small house of one and a half acres actually costs ten yuan per month, and his monthly income is only fifteen yuan, doesn't most of it have to pay rent?

He couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "How much does a one-and-a-half-acre small house like this sell for in Zhongdu?" ”

Lu Han said with a smile: "Now the house in Zhongdu is not rich to buy, the wealthy families in all counties and counties in the world want to have a house in Zhongdu as a foothold to enter Beijing, like Chu Xiandi and their family want to buy a piece of land in Zhongdu, bid fifty taels of gold to buy an acre of land, but just can't buy it, this small house is my relative's house, the location is excellent, less than 100 steps away from Ziwei Palace, it can be called a treasure of feng shui, at the beginning of the year, someone wanted to buy it with 100 taels of gold, and my relatives refused to sell it. ”

Zhao Siliang was dumbfounded when he heard this, gold is very valuable, one or two gold can be exchanged for thirty yuan of imperial money, this one-and-a-half-acre small mansion is not going to be sold for three thousand yuan, and it is imperial money, which is also too exaggerated.

He exclaimed after a while: "Our three-acre house in Liucheng County was only sold for 30 yuan, a difference of 200 times!" ”

"There is no way to do this, Zhongdu is so big, all the wealthy families in the world come to buy it, and the price is not as good as genius."

"What about us poor children? I had to go without food or drink for twenty years to be able to afford a one-and-a-half-acre house. Zhao Siliang was really a little frustrated.

Chu Suiliang patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "In fact, it is not so miserable, Jinshi is generally promoted quickly, the virtuous brother can live in the official house for two or three years for the time being, and now the virtuous brother is from the eighth grade official, a single two-room room, to next year to the eighth grade, a single person has three rooms, and then two years is from the seventh grade, you can apply for the release, the release is generally a small county and county order, at this time there is an official house, you can start a family, take your parents to your side, and be an official outside for ten years, if you are transferred to Beijing, it is a five-grade official, according to the regulations of the imperial court, the five-grade official has five acres of official residenceNo, your housing problem will be solved, and you don't have to spend a penny yourself. ”

Zhao Siliang smiled bitterly, how can things be so simple, he has no background background, and he wants to be released as a county order, it is too difficult, this time the officials sent officials, the reason why he took the initiative to apply to stay in the capital is that considering that there are many people in the capital, he can slowly find the background, for a poor man like him, if he does not have a background background, nothing good will be his turn, just be bitter!

However, Zhao Siliang himself also knows that his income will increase year by year, even if he does not live in the official residence, he can afford to rent a house in three years, not to mention that the official residence of the seventh official is a six-room courtyard, and he can marry a wife and have children, so he really doesn't have to worry too much.

"Thank you Brother Chu for your comfort, I just feel that the housing prices in the capital are expensive, but I don't mean anything else."

"It's good to think about it, come on! We drink. ”

The four of them continued to drink, and at this moment, several officials at the table next to them argued loudly, "Nonsense, Lu Shangshu is an honest official, how can he encroach on good land?" ”

"It's just now that he is honest and honest, he is now a scholar, and he has made enough money before, and now of course he is very upright, but what about before? But there is evidence that Wang Shichong confiscated 5,000 hectares of his fertile land in Xingyang County, all of which were hung in the name of his son, where do you say these fertile fields came from? Not to mention whether he was corrupt or not, but how could the son of an official own so much land? ”

"Who is Wang Shichong, and is there no precedent for him not to hesitate to damage the name of others in order to fight political opponents? He said before that Wei Jin falsely reported the source of troops and embezzled 200,000 yuan in military salaries, do you think it is possible? ”

"We won't know until we have broken the law, but I think that since I even have the details, I will definitely not say anything, it must be well documented."

There was a lot of discussion in the lobby, Lu Han was very surprised, so he asked the bartender who came to serve the food: "What happened to what they said about Lu Shangshu just now?" ”

"Don't you know? This matter has already spread in the middle of the world. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

The bartender sighed and said: "In the past two days, a list has appeared, it is Lu Chu's son's manors in various parts of Xingyang County, the list is very detailed, the location of each manor and the number of fertile fields, the list is clearly written, it is said that the source is Wang Shichong's copy of a list of Lu Chu's family property, I don't know if it's true or not, this matter is very troublesome, and it is said everywhere." ”

Lu Han suddenly became worried in his heart, Lu Chu was his uncle, if this rumor was true, not only would it seriously damage the reputation of the family, but even he would be implicated.

This sudden rumor made Lu Han have no heart to continue eating, he sued, took the first step to leave, and the other three also returned to the official office after a short time.

........

Rumors about Lu Chu's indulgence of his son's annexation of land are spreading more and more widely in Zhongdu, because this is the first case involving high-ranking officials in the Northern Sui Dynasty, almost the entire Zhongdu is talking about this matter, there are believers, and there are non-believers.

But under the impetus of the good deeds, Zhongdu began to talk about the wealth of the Lu family, everyone knows that the Lu family is the first family to buy land in Zhongdu, at least thousands of acres of land, according to the current market price, how much is this land worth? Many people began to exclaim that the Lu family had become a wealthy family, and the Lu family, which had always been low-key, was finally caught up in a storm of public opinion.

The next morning, a wide carriage stopped in front of the Qi Palace, and out of the carriage came a man about thirty years old, medium stature, big ears, eyebrows and eyes quite like the princess of Qi Lu Qing, this person is Lu Qing's eldest brother Lu Qinghong, Lu Zhuo and his wife Cui raised a total of two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Lu Qinghong, the second son Lu Qingyuan, and the youngest daughter is Lu Qing.

Lu Qingyuan has been following his father's side, and finally followed Zhang Xuan to become a soldier Cao to join the army, and is now Zhuo Juncheng, and the eldest son Lu Qinghong has been an official in the state after three years of Jinshi, and has been promoted from the county to the county commander and then served as the Lishi County Cheng, and Li Yuan has a good relationship, Li Yuan is not hostile to him because he is Zhang Xuan's wife and brother, but last year he was ready to transfer him to Chang'an as a squire in the Criminal Department.

But Lu Qinghong finally chose Zhongdu, last year he resigned from the post of county and returned to the Northern Sui to serve as the Shaofu Siqing, in charge of the Northern Sui's left Tibetan treasures, as well as coinage and other matters, because he is low-key, many people know that the brother of Princess Qi is Lu Qingyuan, but they do not know that Lu Qinghong is also the eldest brother of Princess Qi.

Lu Qinghong hurried to the middle hall under the leadership of the housekeeper, and as soon as he sat down, he heard a ring sound, and saw a large group of maids walking in with the princess, Lu Qinghong hurriedly got up and saluted, "Weichen see the princess!" ”

Lu Qing waved his hand, "I asked the eldest brother to come today, just to talk about family affairs, and the eldest brother doesn't have to be a monarch and a minister." ”

Lu Qinghong nodded and said, "What's the matter with the little sister looking for a foolish brother?" ”

Lu Qingyi waved his hand, "Sit down and talk about it!" ”

Lu Qinghong sat down, Lu Qing let the maid serve tea, and then asked: "Regarding the matter of the second uncle's Zongzi merging the fields, it has been spread in Zhongdu, even I have heard about it, this matter has a great impact on the reputation of the Lu family, I want to hear the explanation of the eldest brother." ”

Almost half of the Lu family lives in Zhongdu, as the heir to the head of the family, Lu Qinghong is naturally responsible for the family affairs of Zhongdu, Lu Qinghong is shrewd and skillful, he groaned and asked: "Is this what King Qi meant?" ”

"Don't care who you mean, I'm asking you now!" A hint of dissatisfaction began to appear in Lu Qing's tone.

Lu Qinghong immediately understood, this must be the princess entrusted by King Qi to ask himself, he didn't dare to deal with the little sister casually, and said in a deep voice: "I saw the list, and I also asked the second uncle about it, and the second uncle did not deny it, the five thousand hectares of land are indeed under his name, but there is a secret in this." ”

"What's the secret?"

Lu Qing restrained his anger and asked, "Could it be that those manors are the land acquired by the Lu family in Xingyang County?" (To be continued.) )
