If these hundreds of acres of land are in Montenegro, Gu Ming will give up, after all, there are tree demons in Montenegro, and there are even more old demons in Montenegro.

If it's just a tree demon, it's okay to say, it's a big deal to join forces with Yan Chixia to burn it to ashes, and never suffer in the future.

But the old demon of Montenegro is not so easy to deal with...... At least, Gu Ming knew in his heart that with his current strength, it was impossible to compete with him.

Fortunately, these lands are not within the scope of Montenegro, and neither of the two old demons can set foot in them, so it's a big deal to send some little ghosts and demons to make trouble.

For these little demons and ghosts, Gu Ming didn't pay attention to them, and if he dared to make trouble, he would kill them one by one.

"To say that the price of this land is not expensive, after all, it has been wasted for so many years, and it has long been classified as wasteland, and it is estimated that it is about 1,000 taels of silver."

Nie Hongshu responded.

One thousand taels?

In this way, it is less than three taels of silver per acre, so what is there to hesitate about?

Gu Ming's face immediately turned happy: "Father-in-law, this 400 acres of land is for my son-in-law!" ”

Hearing this, Nie Hongshu couldn't help but say with a solemn face: "You have to think about it, silver is a trivial matter, the key is that you can't let it be barren after you get the land, right?" It is even more unlikely to be transferred at a high price. ”

Gu Ming smiled and waved his hand: "Of course not, I will find someone to slowly open up the wasteland." At that time, the son-in-law is going to build a big mansion there, and maybe he can also start a college......"

"Academy?"

Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help but be stunned, Gu Ming hadn't talked about this matter before.

"Hmm!" Gu Ming nodded: "Once the academy is completed, we can offer some sage statues in the academy to facilitate the worship of students, and at the same time, it can also deter evil things."

Also, anyway, that field is next to Lanruo Temple, and if it doesn't work, I can also make a special trip to build a small house for Yan Daxia to live in.

With him in charge, there is no need to worry about any evil spirits coming to harass him. ”

Hearing this, Nie Hongshu couldn't help frowning, and praised repeatedly: "Very good, very good, this idea is really quite good."

In this case, tomorrow I will report to the government and make a price for the more than 400 acres of land......"

"Thank you, father-in-law!"

Subsequently, Nie Hongshu sent someone to hand over an official document to the government to explain the situation.

I thought it would drag on for a while, but I didn't expect that this time the government would react quite quickly, and things went very smoothly.

The trivial matter of a few hundred acres of wasteland alarmed the prefect, who not only personally approved it, but also gave the greatest discount on the price: eight hundred taels of silver.

After all, Gu Ming is the Xie Yuan hand-picked by the Son of Heaven, who wouldn't do the favor of pushing the boat along the water?

In its position, who doesn't want to leave some back roads and some favors?

In this regard, Gu Ming was naturally very pleased, and immediately took Nie Xiaoqian out of the city after getting the title deed, and went to "inspect" his own territory with great interest.

This is a real private domain, and there is no need to pay any taxes to the imperial court.

This is also one of the reasons why many poor students are bent on winning the lift, and once they win, they enjoy many privileges that ordinary people dare not imagine.

Exemption from giving sharpness and paying food is the biggest benefit.

This field is only a few miles away from the county seat, next to the north courtyard wall of Lanruo Temple.

Half of them are mountainous, half are flat, and they are not far from the official road, only a few hundred meters.

If it weren't for special reasons, where would it be Gu Ming's turn to pick up this cheap?

More than 400 acres of land, only 800 taels of silver, if it is good land, it will be at least about 4,000 taels, and the key is that someone must sell it to you.

"It's really desolate......"

As soon as she arrived, Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help frowning.

Indeed, there are many wild trees and tall and low wild grasses growing here. In the grass, some ownerless lonely graves can be seen from time to time.

Some of the graves have even been washed open by the rain, revealing the bones of the graves.

No wonder others are reluctant to take over the field.

Gu Ming didn't care, and said with a smile: "Xiaoqian, it is precisely because it is desolate that it will always be idle, otherwise where will it be our turn?" ”

"Well, too!" Nie Xiaoqian nodded, and then hesitated: "It's just, I'm afraid it's not easy to hire someone to clean it up like this, right?" ”

"It's okay, I'll think of this."

Gu Ming led Nie Xiaoqian to walk along the ground, and then stood on the slope and began to plan.

"The flat land below can be used to grow crops, and the mountainous land can be planted with some fruit trees, flowers and plants...... After that, a multi-purpose college can be built along the slope......"

"What multifunction? Isn't a college just a college? ”

"No, it's not just a academy, it also includes a piano, chess, calligraphy and painting room, a place for transportation, a dormitory, a canteen, a bath, and even a horse farm.

It's so wide that you can keep a few horses......

There is also a girls' academy, which can be built together, but in different courtyards......"

Hearing Gu Ming gushing endlessly, Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help but be surprised: "This ...... How many students do you have to accept on such a large scale? How can there be so many people in Guobei County? ”

"You can't just think about Guobei County, once the academy becomes famous, many students from other places will also come here.

Of course, this is only a long-term plan, and we have to take it step by step for now......

In addition to the academy, I also plan to build a courtyard where I live for myself, with flowers, grass, trees, bridges, rockeries, flowing water, and lotus ponds, just like a ......paradise."

Such a beautiful plan suddenly made Nie Xiaoqian listen attentively, and her eyes were full of yearning.

When the investigation was almost over, Gu Ming took Nie Xiaoqian into Lanruo Temple together.

This is the first time Nie Xiaoqian has stepped into this temple, and her mood is inevitably a little nervous, holding Ailang's hand tightly, carefully and curiously looking at the environment in the temple.

"Don't be afraid~"

Gu Ming tightened her hand and walked slowly towards the South Courtyard.

"Yan Daxia!"

"Huh? Gu Sheng? ”

Yan Chixia was reading a book in the house, and when she heard Gu Ming's voice, she immediately walked out.

When he saw Nie Xiaoqian, his face couldn't help but be shocked, and he subconsciously raised his hand and calculated for a while......

"Yan Daxia ......"

Gu Ming let go of Nie Xiaoqian's hand and stepped forward and whispered to Yan Chixia for a while.

"How can such a thing happen?"

Yan Chixia glanced at Nie Xiaoqian in surprise.

"I've seen Yan Daxia!"

Nie Xiaoqian stepped forward generously and saluted.

"Miss Nie doesn't have to be polite!"

Yan Chixia didn't say anything more, smiled and waved her hand.

Next, the three of them sat down at the stone table in the courtyard and chatted.

"Yan Daxia, I have bought the wasteland in the north of the temple, and I am going to find someone to clean it up when I find a suitable time......"

Yan Chixia was stunned: "Huh? You bought those fields? ”

"Yes......"

Gu Ming gave a general explanation of his plan.

Yan Chixia nodded thoughtfully: "The idea is very good, but I'm afraid this matter will alarm the old witch......"

"Because of this, Xiao Sheng specially came to discuss countermeasures with Yan Daxia."

Yan Chixia thought for a moment, and then said, "Otherwise, Yan will call the old witch over tonight and talk to her face-to-face." ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian's face was suddenly shocked.

"Miss Nie doesn't need to panic, with Yan here, the old witch doesn't dare to do it easily.

As the saying goes, salute first and then soldier, if it really dares to come nonsense, Yan's sword is not vegetarian. ”

As soon as he heard this, Gu Ming immediately bowed: "Thank you Yan Daxia for bothering." ”

Yan Chixia also got up and saluted back, and said happily: "Gu Sheng doesn't have to be polite, Yan rarely admires a person in his life, but he sincerely admires Gu Xie Yuan."

It's a little thing, you don't have to be polite! ”

"Haha, that's the case, that little student will stay tonight and accompany Yan Daxia to have a few drinks!"

"If you don't get drunk, you won't go home! Hahaha! ”

Yan Chixia also laughed heartily.

"Great, there will be wine to drink as soon as ...... comes"

Suddenly, there was another laugh in the courtyard.

"Zhiqiu?"

Gu Ming turned his head sideways in surprise, looking at Zhiqiu Yiye, who was striding into the courtyard with a long sword on his back.

"Brother Gu...... Haha, no, now it's going to be called Gu Jieyuan! ”

Zhiqiu laughed and walked over.

walked a few steps, but suddenly paused, looking at Nie Xiaoqian with puzzled eyes.

After all, Nie Xiaoqian has now awakened the bloodline of the fox clan, and his cultivation has been small, so naturally he can't hide his perception.

"The little woman has seen the Zhiqiu hero!"

Nie Xiaoqian took the initiative to come forward and salute.

"Knowing Autumn ......"

Gu Ming also stepped forward and whispered a few words to explain the reason.

This kind of thing itself can't be hidden, so it's better to explain it as soon as possible.

"I see......"

Zhiqiu nodded abruptly.

After chatting for a few words, Gu Ming said: "In this way, the two heroes will chat first, and I will send Xiaoqian back to the city first, and by the way, prepare some more wine and food to bring over, so that you can have a good drink." ”

On the way, Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you let me stay together?" ”

"Of course, I'm worried about your safety, after all, your path is too shallow now, in case that old witch gets mad, maybe there will be a vicious fight."

"Then I'm going to stay!"

"You're just going to distract me by staying...... Don't worry, I'm fine. Besides, aren't there still Yan Daxia and Zhiqiu? ”

After some persuasion, Nie Xiaoqian sighed helplessly: "Then you must be careful, don't fight with it." ”

"Well, I know, in short, it's like what Yan Daxia said, salute first and then soldier. Wait until one day my strength is strong enough, and then I will find the old witch to settle a general account. ”

Back in the city, Gu Ming went to the restaurant to pack some cooked food and bought a few large jars of wine.

Seeing several large jars of wine being put away by Gu Ming out of thin air, the shopkeeper couldn't help but be stunned.

After all, how can ordinary people have the opportunity to see such a miraculous thing with their own eyes? Most of them are legends.

……

It was getting dark.

The capital, the Imperial Palace.

In Kunning Palace, the queen was idle, sitting in the palace and reading the Dream of Red Mansions.

After looking at it for a while, his pretty face couldn't help but slowly turn red.

After all, there are things in the book that describe things between men and women.

It is precisely because of these descriptions that Dream of Red Mansions was once listed as a banned book by the imperial court.

But this dynasty is not the other.

At least there has been no absurd literary hell, unless deliberately made anti-imperial rhetoric.

Moreover, these descriptions in Dream of Red Mansions are very elegant, which is an indispensable part and one of its artistic values.

It reveals a process and some doubts that people must go through in their growth.

Who hasn't been confused when they were young?

The sage said: Food and color, sex also.

This is an instinct and nature that is innate to human beings......
