Liu Qinluo knew that his daughter had always had the habit of digging into the bottom of things, and if she didn't tell the truth, she wouldn't lend him the silver.

So Tang Mian learned from him that he opened a store behind Wang Cui'e's back.

"You have to help your father keep this matter secret, if Wang Cui'e knows, I won't have anything to rely on for the rest of my life."

Over the years, many colleagues have envied him for marrying the daughter of Lord Wang, and since then he has risen steadily and sat on the current six-rank official.

But no one knows what price he paid for this, Wang Cui'e is naturally jealous, arrogant and domineering, no one says anything in his eyes, and he is not sympathetic to him.

He had to report to him wherever he went, and he could only go out with her permission, and he had to pay his monthly allowance as soon as possible, and only gave him twenty cents a month.

Many colleagues invited him to drink in Willow Lane, Huajie, but he never dared to go to the appointment, and kept making excuses.

Another time, Wang Cui'e slapped him in the face a few times because of some trivial things, regardless of the presence of subordinates......

Speaking of which, these are all the retribution he took for abandoning Bai Yunniang and their mother and daughter back then.

He is an egoist, and when he was young, he felt that for the sake of his official position, he could abandon some non-essential things in order to endure Wang Cui'e all the time.

Now when he is old, he suddenly understands that he has lived for almost half his life, and his only achievements are all false names, and he does not even have a son.

Only then will you think differently and become the boss of a shop.

However, he really didn't have much talent in business, and he lost a lot of money, so he couldn't get the money.

He also thought about Yu'er's affairs clearly, don't blame Mian, if he were to be himself, his reaction would probably be greater than hers.

She should be angry with herself.

"Mian, I dare to swear to God, what I said is true, if you don't lend me this 50,000 taels of silver, I will definitely be notified by the imperial court, if Wang Cui'e finds out, I will have nothing." Tang Mian really stared at him for a long time, looking at him as if he was lying.

But isn't this donation random?

Why did he donate so much 50,000 pieces of silver?

Tang Mian was a master who couldn't hide his thoughts, so he asked Liu Qinluo directly.

"Mian, you don't know! This donation was proposed by Prime Minister Xu and the emperor. The drought in the south is so serious, it is estimated that it will not be long before the treasury will be empty again, and the emperor will ask the merchant to donate a second time, I think that I am not a business material, so I want to transfer this shop out, you can rest assured, I will return the silver to you as soon as possible. ”

Liu Qinluo analyzed the current situation with Tang Mian, and then said that he wanted to sell the store.

Tang Mian asked for the location, and felt that it was very suitable, so he said that he wanted to buy his shop.

Liu Qinluo was overjoyed when he heard it.

The store was originally held with 40,000 taels of silver, counting decoration and the like, it only lasted 50,000 taels, and it was only open for less than a year, and he earned almost 50,000 taels according to the current prices.

He figured it out and took out the money to buy land.

The emperor no longer has the talent to govern the country, and he does not dare to touch the peasants.

Take a step back and say that something will happen to him in the future, and there are still a few acres of land to harvest.

Before leaving, he specially told Tang Mian to let her keep a low profile recently.

If you can resell the store under your name, you can sell it all and invest in other places.

He also said that the country of heaven was about to change.

"Well, I see, you're good to go." Tang Mian said expressionlessly, as if he didn't take his words seriously, but Liu Qinluo could feel that Mian had listened to it this time.

I couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Mian is really like when she was young, but it's a pity that Yu'er is all with her mother.

As soon as Liu Qinluo left, Tang Mian completely fell into contemplation, she had to admit that Liu Qinluo was smarter than too many people, knew how to judge the situation, and was good at analyzing the current situation.

He was absolutely right, and now is the best way to sell the shop and buy the land.

She is really stupid, even if she invests all the money in the academy, if the emperor wants to use her, he can do it at any time.

She vaguely remembered that the first few donations were all personal wishes, and she could donate as much as she wanted, but after that, everyone was unwilling to donate, and the silver became less and less.

At this time, the emperor listened to Prime Minister Xu's slander, and counted all the assets under the names of all merchants and levied them according to the proportion.

It was after that donation that many businessmen in the imperial city complained, and in order to prevent them from rebelling, the imperial court allowed all kinds of spies to infiltrate the business district.

As soon as someone said that the emperor was not, he immediately reported to the family and exterminated the clan, which put everyone in danger, causing most of the merchants to leave the imperial city and go to other places to farm.

It wasn't a safe place to stay in the Imperial City all the time.

"Master, don't you want to buy land again? Every inch of land in the imperial city is expensive, and even the two fertile fields are much more expensive than other places, and all the land in the southeast, northwest, and northwest directions here has been bought. If you really want to buy it, there are a lot of vacant land in Liangze County, which is 50 kilometers away from the imperial city. ”

As soon as Xiami entered the house, he looked at the topographic map around the imperial city, guessed what he was thinking, and took the initiative to point him in the direction where Liang Ze County was located.

No way! Liangze County is too close to the imperial city.

When the time comes, if something happens, they can be served directly.

She wanted to buy a little farther and get some of the people over there to help with the farming.

"What! You have to buy fertile land in a remote place, and you have to send people to cultivate it there, preferably on the frontier! Master, are you stimulated by something? Or did Lord Liu say something to you again? ”

Xiami has followed Tang Mian for so many years, and knows what her temper is, and she has always spoken big or small.

All of them were expressing their dissatisfaction with Tang Mian's decision.

According to common sense, the land over there is vast and sparsely populated, and one or two pieces of silver and five acres of fertile land cannot be sold.

The master actually wants to send their people over there to reclaim the wasteland, what is he thinking!

"I'm serious, you can call Tian Bo, Xiao Cui and a few of them to my house now." Tang Mian commanded

She is a typical doer who does whatever comes to her mind.

What's more, listening to Liu Qinluo's meaning today, it won't be long before the imperial court organizes businessmen to make the first second donation.

Some businessmen were forced to do something because of donations, and the emperor would carry out high-pressure control in order to purge these rebellious people, and strictly forbade anyone to leave.

At that time, the imperial city was like a backwater, and not many people had the heart to do business, so it was better to get his people to the frontier to grow sweet potatoes or something.

What Xiami didn't expect was that after Tian Bo and Xiaocui learned that their master wanted to buy the land in the frontier to open up the wasteland, they didn't oppose it, and they were very supportive.

"I said what is going on with you two, the master has made such a wrong decision now, not only did you not persuade her, but also supported her to do it, you ——。" Shrimp was a little angry and didn't continue.

Tian Bo also saw that something was wrong with the current situation, since the new emperor took the throne, he ordered the expropriation of Tian Fu in less than a month, and now he is still taking Shangjia.

Everyone has no opinion on donating once, but if every time the treasury is empty, you have to use a knife on each businessman, who can stand it.

Presumably, the proprietor saw the crux of this, and only then thought of sending people to the frontier.
