Lizhou City Zhou family, Zhou Shuren ordered the jewelry in his hand, some leftovers, Zhou Shuren did not waste, polished and Zhulan head matching jade pendant and hairpin, the remaining scraps, Zhou Shuren let the polishing, and when Zhulan came back, Zhulan was inlaid according to his preferences.

Zhou Shuren looked at the jade pendant on the side of his head, and the shrewd Lord Zhou showed a smirk, a couple, this recognition inspired Zhou Shuren, and in the future, he will wear it as a couple with Zhulan.

Zhou Shuren cut the jade rewarded by the emperor to make jewelry, this wave of operations made the people in the city inexplicably a little choked, obviously can be used as a family heirloom, Lord Zhou was stunned to carve jewelry for his wife!

The men sighed one after another, Lord Zhou is really a love species, this time he is completely convinced, if it is them, it must be carved into an heirloom and passed on from generation to generation!

The women tore up several handkerchiefs, and their eyes were red with jealousy.

Lord Chen's wife, Hua, has been talking to her master for several days with a nose that is not a nose and eyes that is not an eye, and she speaks in a weird way.

Lord Chen, "........"

Lord Zhou has hurt them!

Zhou Shuren himself was not idle at home, and continued to give Zhulan a hatred value!

Early the next morning, Zhulan had breakfast and got on the carriage prepared by Yaxing to see Zhuangzi, who was some distance from Jinzhou City and needed an hour's journey.

Zhulan really didn't feel too bumpy, she found that the roads in the south were very well repaired, unlike the sparsely populated roads in the north, which were full of potholes and no one maintained.

When she arrived at the place, Zhulan saw the tenants in Zhuangzi.

Yazi respectfully introduced, "Yang Yiren, this piece of house belongs to the owner, and these tenants not only rent the land but also rent the owner's house to live. ”

Zhulan didn't want to buy Zhuangzi without concealing her identity, if she didn't reveal her identity, not only would Yazi bully you, but the local officials would also bully you. ”

Yazi explained: "Three or seven points. ”

Zhulan thought it was very dark, seventy percent to the owner, and only thirty percent of the tenants were left, and they had to pay the rent of the house every year, and there were many children in the family, even if they could grow two crops in the south, it would not be enough to eat.

Yazi continued: "There are only a few kind-hearted owners who are four or six points. ”

Zhulan said that she knew, and she saw many children looking at her timidly, and some women with worries on their faces.

Zhulan knows that there are many official families who buy Zhuangzi and will not rent them to tenants, basically they buy a household to manage the Zhuangzi, and they are hired short-term workers for farming and autumn harvest.

These tenants were afraid, afraid that Zhulan would not rent out the fields after buying the Zhuangzi, and not only would they have no land, but they would also have no place to live.

Yazi led the way to the main gate of the yard, opened the gate, Yazi introduced: "This is the courtyard where the owner's family lives, although the owner does not often come to live, but the yard has been guarded, there are ponds in the yard, rockeries, and the scenery is good, because the owner lacks silver, and the house is equivalent to half selling and half sending." ”

Zhulan looked at the front yard, the house in the south of the Yangtze River is a scene, the layout of the house is also very good, and there is an attic in the backyard, Zhulan liked it at a glance.

Yazi saw it in his eyes and knew that it was half done, and he didn't dare to fool the wife of the official family.

Then Zhulan went to see the fields again, this Zhuangzi has 150 acres of dry fields, 50 acres of paddy fields, and fish are raised in the paddy fields.

Along the way, Zhulan met many tenants working in the fields, and they all paused to look at Zhulan and others, some of them were panicked, some were panicked, and they were all confused about the future.

Zhulan knew that some tenants were better off than self-cultivators, but in the end they had no family to rely on outsiders, and once they couldn't rent the land, the tenants panicked.

Then Zhulan looked at two more 200-acre Zhuangzi, and only one of the three Zhuangzi had no tenants.

Zhulan is clean and neat, there is no need to delay it, and she is an official dependent, Zhou Shuren's name is really easy to use, and the new branch list knows that she has gone to Lizhou City, and the changes in Lizhou City are basically known by word of mouth, especially among officials.

No one dared to fool her when Zhulan bought a house, so she bought two Zhuangzi with tenants, one with Zhou Shuren's name and one with her name written on it.

Zhou Lao Er went to do it, Zhou Lao Er didn't ask much, anyway, in his father's heart, he wrote his mother's name and his father didn't care, the two Zhuangzi gave a cheap 4,400, counting the silver money for the tooth line and the exchange of deeds, a total of 4,550 taels, he was originally worried that his mother had spent a lot of silver, afraid that the silver money would not be enough, but when the mother gave him silver, he saw that there was still a lot left in the box.

Zhou Lao Er warned himself that he must please his mother, all he counted was the money on the books in the house, how much his mother had in his hand, he didn't know at all, whether it was a family split in the future, or a hundred years of his father's mother, the master must be the mother, and the report recorded in the mother's name should be reported to the government, that is, the dowry, and the mother will give it to whoever she wants!

Zhulan didn't know Zhou Laoer's careful thoughts, but if she knew, Zhulan didn't care, just don't anger her, if she angers her, she will definitely be willful when she dies.

Zhulan still has less than 5,000 taels of silver left in her hand, Zhulan is not ready to buy Zhuangzi, she is very optimistic about the location of Jinzhou City, drought and flood to ensure income, Jinzhou City's shop rent is the most stable.

What the Zhou family lacks is a stable income, so she is ready to buy a shop with the remaining money.

Zhulan asked Zhou Lao Er to inquire about the price of the shop, the shop in Jinzhou City is expensive, according to the modern calculation of 60 square meters of shops 400 taels, it is not a good location, the price of 60 square meters of good location can reach 500 taels, the rent of the shop is also very gratifying, the rent of 60 square meters in a good location can be 60 taels a year, and the worse lot also has 40 taels.

Zhulan didn't buy a large area of shops, all of them were small-area, some only had shops facing the street, and some had small backyards to live in, she bought eight shops in one go, only two of the good ones were bought, and the others were okay lots.

A total of 4,000 taels were spent, and the benefit fee and the tax on the exchange of deeds were counted.

Zhulan still had more than six hundred taels of silver left in her hand.

Of the eight shops, two of them have Zhou Shuren's name written in good locations, and the remaining six are all under the name of Zhulan.

This time, even the shrewd Zhou Lao Er stayed, and his mother brought out 10,000 taels of silver, and his own family counted the real estate, my God, my own family used to have so much silver!

Zhou Laoer's eyes were shining at the same time, there is money in it that is earned by his mother, and it is his mother's idea to buy and sell a house several times, when will he learn his mother's skills?

Zhulan bought a shop, and re-signed the deed with the merchant who rented the shop, and came to collect the money at the end of each year.

After dealing with the shop, Zhulan is ready to meet the tenants, and she wants to continue to rent out those who buy tenants, but she wants to meet the head of the tenants, and she will continue to use them if she agrees, and change them if she doesn't like them.
