Chapter 1046 Changping County Lord 3
The incense burner burns with a good smell of agarwood, and the bedding is all satin, slippery, and any burr will hook the silk.
The bed curtain was also brought together, and the best vegetarian silk was used, and the material of this bed was enough for ordinary people to chew for a year.
The owner is just a concubine, but she is so pampered. Looking back, in the past ten years, I haven't learned anything except eating, drinking, and having fun. Don't talk about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, even embroidery.
Even if I invite Mr. to teach the class, it is just an ordinary hundred family names and thousand-character texts, and there is no harsh criticism at all, so none of the books in the car are serious, all of them are elegant lyrics and songs and wild stories.
In comparison, the elder brother of the owner, the prince of Qinling, has been able to write and martial arts since he was a child, is extremely intelligent, can ride and shoot through Yang in a hundred steps, and is good at imitating Cai Yong's words, and has a small success at the age of twelve.
The result? The grass in front of his grave was already half a meter.
Therefore, the owner is not learned, lazy to eat, and is a girl, but he saved a small life.
No matter how stupid you are, you are still feared. didn't even have a relative, so he gave it to a county lord and kicked it to this broken place. It seems to be grace, but it is actually to make her wait for death. Sure enough, in just half a year, in order to ensure innocence and royal decency, he hung himself on the beam.
Since he was brought here, he can be regarded as a far emperor of the mountain, and it depends on how he tosses in the past half a year, and he can save his life.
No matter how bad it is, she will simply be captured, anyway, she won't hang herself, that's the integrity that the owner needs, it's her business!
In the next three days, the county lord's mansion was basically prepared, and all the things that should be placed and put into storage were settled.
This time, a total of more than 30 carts of utensils were transported, and it is said that there are more than 50 carts on the road behind, all of which are usually used by the county lord and rewarded by the king of Han.
Xining called the two housekeepers and asked if it would take about half a month for the things to arrive, and after thinking for a while, he said, "After all the things are put into storage, Steward Lin picks up some things that have not been used for more than five years and sells them in the market. ”
Steward Lin was stunned: "I checked the accounts, and there are 500 ingots of horseshoe gold and 10,000 taels of silver on the account, which is enough for the expenses of the house for 20 years." There are 300 households in the county lord's town, and the annual tax revenue of this city and the outer 200 li is the county lord's. ”
Is the county lord short of money? The seller needs to raise money.
Xining let out a long sigh: "Those things are not suitable for being placed here, and they have to be dried every year and taken care of by special people." I simply sold it and exchanged it for cash, so that I could buy new goods when I needed them later. By the way, don't pick what the king has rewarded. Steward Xiao is an old man here, he is familiar with this place, and he will help Steward Lin more when the time comes. ”
Steward Xiao immediately said: "The county lord praises falsely, it is a small duty to do things for the county. The things of the county lord are naturally excellent, this place is closer to the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu nobles especially like the good things of the Han people, even if they are shoddy and sold to them, they are willing to pay a high price. ”
When Xining heard this, he immediately said: "Then go to the warehouse and pick a few pieces for me to see, I think it's okay, so let's release them one after another." If there are too many things, they are not worth much. If necessary, you can set up a shop and sell it specially. ”
Steward Xiao responded: "The shop here is cheap, whether you rent or buy." ”
When I asked the price, the price of buying a shop was actually comparable to the rent of a shop in the capital for a year, and it was only fifty taels.
Xining made a quick decision, and the treasury took five hundred taels of silver to buy ten shops.
At this time, Steward Xiao was also stunned, and immediately saluted: "The county lord doesn't know, there have been wars here for many years, and the Huns are constantly harassing. This city has changed hands back and forth, and it has only been a Han territory for more than ten years. Many people would rather rent than buy. Ten shops are equivalent to half a street of shops. ”
"If you buy it, you may be a Huns, right?" Xining smiled: "Steward Lin, allocate a thousand taels of silver to buy the shops on the entire street." ”
Steward Lin was also stunned, and after thinking about it, he said: "What Steward Xiao said is very true, please think about it." ”
Xining stood up, slowly walked to the window, and looked at the servants who were cleaning the yard outside, the yard here is big, and you have to sprinkle water after cleaning, otherwise it will be dusty. Even after cleaning, it is not like the Qinling Palace, which is paved with stone roads, and it will not get dirty if you wear a long drag skirt. Here, only in the room, covered with bamboo mats, will the skirt not be dirty.
She said leisurely: "Since this is my fiefdom, where else can I go?" ”
When Steward Xiao heard this, he immediately shook his eyes again, and his eyes lit up: "The county lord's mind and ambition are very incomparable, but we are short-sighted. ”
Xining turned around with a smile: "Where do I have any ambitions, but I just think that when I get to a place, I should buy land and buy a house." Go ahead and do it, but don't force it to buy and be left behind. If you have a shop, let me know and put it there first. ”
Steward Xiao and Steward Lin stepped down, these two things alone were enough to be busy for a while.
As soon as the two housekeepers left, Ping'er called someone to bring the cut melon and waited for her to use it.
Even the melons are peeled and seeded, the best parts are selected, and the pieces are cut well.
After washing her hands, Xining picked up a toothpick, inserted a piece and put it in her mouth. Nodding: "Sweet." ”
It seemed that after she had eaten well, Ping'er was happy and smiled: "This is sent by the county magistrate Zhou, saying that it is the first batch of melons that have just grown, and I will pick them and ask the county lord to taste them." ”
Xining thoughtfully: "Oh, white melons are also produced here?" ”
Ping'er hurriedly responded: "There is nothing in this broken place, I don't know why, there is a Xiaguan Village fifty miles away, the melon is particularly sweet, and the output is also large." But every year it is unsalable, and it can't be sold out. ”
"There is only such a place in this county, and if you can't finish eating, it will naturally rot in the ground." Xining took another piece and put it in his mouth, it was indeed sweet and juicy, and there was glutinous cotton with white melon.
Seeing that she was eating happily, Ping'er asked at the right time, as if chatting, "How did the county lord think of buying a shop and buying a street." In fact, Steward Xiao said that there is a reason why it is cheap, in case it is robbed by the Huns, it is not a loss of money. ”
Seeing Xining's eyes looking over, Ping'er was shocked and immediately knelt down: "The slave and maid said the wrong thing, the king is wise and wise, and the soldiers are heroic and good at fighting, how can they be robbed by the Huns and lose their land." ”
The corners of Xining's mouth raised slightly: "Ping'er, what are you doing?" I just thought that my deceased mother had said that people in her hometown bought land and houses everywhere they went, and only when they had real estate could they settle down. Anyway, there was a lot of silver in the warehouse, so I took out some of it to buy some shops. What are you talking about, why can't I understand it? Get up. ”
Ping'er looked at her cautiously and saw that she was still eating melons sweetly, so she stood up with confidence: "It's the slave who has hysteria and is talking nonsense." The county lord thought it was delicious, and the slave maid ordered someone to cut another one. ”
"Anything else? Okay, go cut another one and choose the sweet one. Xining pretended to be silly and sweet, and continued to eat melons.
