When everyone saw Huangshi stop, they also stopped together, and Zhou Mingrui was a good man, and when he saw that Huangshi was a little frowning, he took the initiative to step forward and ask, "Master, is there anything wrong with this?"

"Hmm", Huang Shi pondered for a while, feeling that since everyone had come here, it was naturally impossible to go back empty-handed, and if this place was taken by himself, he would definitely have to arrange some henchmen to engage in mining, these people have been in awe of themselves in the past two days, so it is also appropriate to reveal some things in advance, so as not to make things wrong.

As for what to say, Huang Shi combed his heart for a while, and then behind the bamboo forest, he took out 6 comfortable beach chairs, "Come, everyone is under the tree, you can put away the umbrella, sit and rest, I will tell you some things, and you can also refer to the reference, that is, I should give the master a trick."

There is not much difference between the structure of this delicate parasol and the traditional oil-paper umbrella, and these people can do crafts, can do private teeth, and can be admitted to the show, all of them are sensitive and ingenious people, so they will close the umbrella after looking at it and thinking about it.

After everyone gave a salute, they sat down on the chair, Huangshi put away their umbrellas, and then took out a box of honey cakes, opened it and motioned for everyone to come over and take the food, "Everyone, this is in a hurry for a long time, come and eat something first", for this trip, Huangshi also prepared some things, after all, there are some materials from the small village to Chengguan last time, so there are some materials either a few of them carry on their backs, or put them in Huangshi's light gate.

"Thank you for the reward, thank you for the reward", everyone took turns to go forward one by one, carefully picked up a cake, and then turned back to sit down, and then looked at Huangshi, Huangshi also knew that if he didn't eat first, then these people would not move, remembering that they were not so conscious in the original company, they often forgot this, and raised their chopsticks before the boss started eating.

After Huangshi, everyone put the cake into their mouths, and Zhou Mingrui was better, after all, they had eaten similar before, so they ate it slowly one bite at a time, and the others, the first time they ate this cake, originally imagined that the old housekeeper and the three of them ate more elegantly, but the fragrance of the combination of eggs, milk, and honey was not something they could resist the first time they ate it, plus everyone walked for most of the day, and their stomachs were a little hungry. So the first bite was fine, but the second bite couldn't be stopped, and some people were in a hurry, so they choked and turned their faces red, but they couldn't cough out in front of the master, and the uncomfortable experience seemed to be holding their breath.

"You still don't drink the water in the kettle, go along with it", Huang Shi hurriedly pointed out to them, and a few of them just forgot the "retro marching military training kettle" hanging on their bodies for a while, so everyone quickly took down the kettle hanging on their bodies, unscrewed the water cover, and poured themselves a few sips before swallowing the cake in their throats.

Lan Laohan touched this smooth kettle, and said in his heart that this fairy family is a good thing, not only is it strong and not afraid of bumps, but also the bottle cap is twisted and not afraid of dumping, the first 1 hour boiled water, and it is still warm until now, you can also use the bottle cap as a tea cup to drink directly with water, and then there is a canvas that the old man said is hanging on the body with skin, that light and dexterous, not at all like he used to go up the mountain to pick herbs, and carry the long bamboo tube, not only inconvenient The water is also cool quickly.

……

Everyone then rested for a while, and Huang Shi said, "This time, I came down with everyone to take this land and engage in development", Huang Shi found that he had said a new term, so he corrected it, "What about development, that is, I want to build a bigger Zhuangzi in this place, and I am also going to prepare to excavate something, which is a stone called Tian Huangshi."

"Master, then we will buy this land directly", Zhou Mingrui thought that since the master wants to do this, then there is naturally a reason to do it, and now the lord has more than 3,000 taels of silver. Half of them are Huangshi in modern times and spent about 260,000 yuan to buy silver bars in the bank, half of them are idle to find a few rich big families, and the old man sold the combination of the pocket watch and the powder box together, and now there are still a large number of goods to wait for this city to be realized, this market is much larger than the small city.

Zhou Mingrui continued, "Master, in recent years, many of these fields have been listed as households, and they have all been rushed to serve as grain chiefs by real big households, but as long as they have been in office for a year or two, there are few people in this industry who are not emptied, so now these landlords are unwilling to buy fields anymore, the price of this field is cheap and cheap, it used to be ten taels of silver to buy an acre of land, and now, the poor land may be one or two taels of silver, and the best paddy fields in Zhangcheng are only five or six taels. I don't think it's too far off in this place."

"Then if we buy this, what if we are appointed as a grain chief and have to go to service"? Huangshi is a little skeptical, after the modern new millennium, the country's agricultural taxes have been abolished, and the peasants have no shackles, but in this Ming Dynasty, if you build your own Zhuangzi, and you are extorted by the local officials for three days and two heads, not only will it cost money and people, but other things will not be easy to carry out.

"This, sir, you don't have to worry, these fields can come forward as Mr. Mu, and the fields of Xiucai Xianggong can be exempted from forced labor, and then you can let the small one and Mr. Mu go to the Yamen scribe in Fucheng to carry out activities, and you can be generally worry-free", Zhou Mingrui replied, it turned out that the law of the Ming Dynasty said that Xiucai was exempt from forced labor; Exempt from forced labor, and taxes halved; Jinshi is exempt from forced labor, and all taxes are exempted.

Seeing Huang Shi looking over, Mu Dexian hurriedly replied, "Master, the disciple should serve himself", for a person with social status like him, it is not too difficult to go to the government to do this thing.

"Okay, then let's wait to go down to a hillside to see the situation of that Zhuangzi, and then go to the Zhuangzi for an interview to see if we can buy this Zhuangzi, including his paddy fields."

After everyone put away their sundries, they climbed a small hill along a path behind Zhuangzi and looked down. When they passed by the village, the dogs in the village were also alarmed and barked, and some children ran out with their bare butts to peek at them, and listened to the old man in the village reprimanding them.
