This 'fool' really has a lot of money, and he swallowed a lot of land at once, especially in the area of Chaotian Street outside the South Gate and the area of Xiwai Street outside the West Gate. Chaotian Street extends to the southwest Longchi direction, passes through Liangtangpu, Luojiapu and Jiangpu's east and west Gechengpu connections, and is the north-south land road from Donggeyi Road to the top.

There is a large area of land in the post road east of the county seat that has been returned to Wu Yan's horse farm, counting from the west of Lingyan Mountain, to the mountain range at the junction of Yizhen and Liuhe, only a piece of land has not changed hands.

However, this slightly crazy bottom-buying behavior has attracted the attention of some people, and not all of them are self-righteous 'smart people'.

Jiang Dayong was the chairman of the Lianghuai General Commerce, and he had only returned from the capital not long ago. He has lived in Liuhe for many years, and was still in Yangzhou earlier, but he didn't like the extravagance of Yangzhou, so he chose the neighbor Liuhe, and planned to retire here.

Lingyan Mountain has beautiful scenery, it is indeed livable, there are streams lingering at the foot of the mountain, three winding Lingyan, there are Lingyan Temple and Academy in the middle of the mountain, it is more like Zhong Lingyu Xiu, so in this large piece of land, the houses and buildings are horizontal, all of them are the other industries of the gentry and giant Jia Xiu.

Jiangjiayuan is also here, take the gardening style of Nanjing Zhan Garden, the garden mountain stone pond bridge, Xuanguan tower, bamboo, wood and flowers are scattered, very rich in the scenery of Jiangnan Zhouxiang. There is a book building in the pool, called "Yuhong Pavilion", which is the place where Jiang University uses books to read books and meet guests.

The old Chaofeng has been with Jiang Dayong for nearly 30 years, and he has long been a member of the Jiang family. He gathered the recent imperial court newspapers, various news newspapers and periodicals, and all kinds of information exchanged by the Chamber of Commerce in one place and showed them to Jiang Dayong to read.

Jiang Dayong read it quickly, and then copied the map and looked at it carefully for a long time, and then smiled...... It seems to be somewhat understood.

"Master, what do you see?"

Jiang Dayong said with a smile: "I didn't see the problem, but I knew that someone was going to make trouble." ”

The old Chaofeng was quite confused when he heard this: "Trouble? What's going on? ”

"I'm afraid that this old man Jia from the northwest is someone's agent, or he is disguised by the agent, and the main owner has not come forward at all."

"That'...... What does he want to do? What's going on? ”

Jiang Da Yongfu picked up the imperial court newspaper again, read it again word by word, and the guess in his heart became clearer.

"Master, do you think this is the Cao family?"

Jiang Dayong was pondering, and suddenly heard that the old courteer mentioned the Cao family, and a thought flashed in his mind, and he quickly caught it......

"There is no evidence that it is the Cao family, but it is very likely, it is just ......"

"It must have something to do with the economic zone, right? But I'd love to know what the Cao family will do next? ”

Jiang Da tapped his finger on the table, pondered for a long time, and seemed to have made a decision, "Lao Li, how much cash is still in the account?" ”

Lao Chaofeng thought for a while and replied: "There are only three million taels in the capital, and now there are only one hundred and twenty thousand that can be moved immediately in the account. ”

"Well, now the land price here is six or seven taels, right?"

"Hehe, it's almost the same, it's the price of cabbage."

"Wherever it is close to the post road, buy it within six taels, and take 1.2 million yuan, remember, find a few people to do it, don't go in person."

Lao Chaofeng also smiled when he heard it, he understood what the master wanted to do: "I know, that Wang Dalong is also reliable, and he doesn't dare to reveal the slightest bit." ”

"Well, this time he estimates that he won't have to open again for the next twenty or thirty years."

"Haha, who's to say it's not!" Lao Chaofeng laughed for a long time, then remembered something again, and said: "It's that the price of grain seems to be a little unstable recently, rising and falling, let's see if the master wants to settle some first?" ”

Jiang Dayong shook his head and said: "Forget it, my Jiang family has never set foot in this industry, I'm afraid that it is like a mountain across the line, and on the other hand, hoarding land just wants to make a quick buck, and it's not easy to say about food." ”

Lao Chaofeng thought that he was right, so he didn't mention the matter anymore.

The volatility in food prices has also been noted.

Recently, the scribes of the yamen have been very busy, and there is an endless stream of people who handle the division of property and the registration of deeds every day, and everyone is waiting in line outside the yamen, waiting for them to go in and handle it when they are called. There are at most two scribes in a county, so they are too busy to ask the students of Confucianism in the county to help. Even so, there is still something to be done every day. Of course, there are also people who want to handle it quickly, so they will privately stuff money to the scribe, so that it will naturally be handled quickly.

Fang Siwei was also busy, and the inscription book of his Shangshu Imperial Court had already been sent out, and he only needed to wait for the imperial court's approval. Now his main business every day is to ascend to court to hear lawsuits for the division of family and property, and he has to hear several times a day. Even when the cows and horses have a rest, he is not as good as the cows and horses, and after a few days of busyness, he saw that he was much thinner, his cheeks were sunken, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Mrs. Fang naturally felt sorry for her husband, and boiled that big tonic soup every day to nourish his body, and drank tonic soup all day long on hot days...... As a result, Fang Siwei was not replenished, and there was a ball of red paper stuffed in his nostrils at any time, and he walked as if he was floating......

How can it be so easy to fight a lawsuit? Let's not talk about hiring a lawyer, let's just say that the pleadings must be paid for handing the pleadings to the yamen, the lawyers must make the pleadings money, and the scrivener must stamp the money, and these are only the costs of the pleadings. Then, once the yamen is approved, it has to copy and approve the money, and the bad ticket is issued, and the straw sandal money is not finished, and once it is summoned, it will be given money, dry certificate money, family rest money, shop money, and willing money......

In fact, these are not the most difficult, the most difficult is to write a pleading, which must be completely and strictly in accordance with the official procedures before the case can be filed and accepted. Not only must the pleadings be in the prescribed format and number of words, but they must also be seen and valued in the many pleadings. If a mediocre ghostwriter writes well, it will only be 'hastily perfunctory, which will only upset the reader and make it difficult to reach the true feelings'.

Therefore, the layout and conception of the whole pleadings are extremely crucial, and a good litigator can write every word, like a sword. In addition, the lawyer also helps the parties in litigation behind the scenes, providing advice and planning, etc.

Good litigators are hard to find, but with Zhao Menglin's team of litigators, everyone is an elite, as long as they can afford to pay for it, generally speaking, the winning rate of lawsuits is relatively high. Especially in the lawsuit of dividing the family and property, many people would rather spend a lot of money to hire them to fight.

The yamen is busy, the lawyer is busy, the tooth shop is busy, the land is being sold, the land is being bought, the family is divided, and the property is divided...... The entire Liuhe was busy out of the sky, not counting the start of the summer tax collection work in the new season.

This summer, maybe it's going to be so busy, everyone is busy, but it makes Liuhe, a small county in Jiangbei, reveal a kind of vitality that has never been seen before.

The detailed draft of the Ming Dynasty's future "five-year development plan" compiled by Li Daoru and others has finally been completed, and has been submitted to the Ministry of Household for review.

Emperor Yongming has received Fang Siwei's sparse mention, as well as the Liuhe special red lotus rice and pearl rice that he specially paid tribute to the emperor. In particular, the red lotus japonica rice produced in Liuhe has a unique sweet aroma after cooking.

The emperor was naturally very happy, not only rewarded Wu Yan and the concubine, but also got a lot of rewards with the marquis. That night, Wu Yan boiled a pot, and she gulped down the rice cooked in her 'hometown' rice, and 'tears couldn't stop flowing'.

"Woo woo, it's delicious, I haven't eaten it for a long time...... she said, 'crying'.

Mama is not there, only Ai Youwei, she also ate this kind of rice when she was in Liuhe, and her memory is particularly deep: "It's so fragrant!" It tastes the same as when you eat it in Liuhe. ”

"Ya's Fang Siwei is distracted this time, "She and Fang Siwei are 'enmity', and no one can look at anyone."

She is really fed up with Guozijian's lackluster diet, it's not that it tastes bad, it's indeed too vegetarian and light, and the ingredients are too poor. It's the same rice, and it's impossible for Guozijian to cook any tribute rice, although she is not a picky eater, but she also likes to eat good things.

Every time Ai Youwei hears the girl call the county master like this, he wants to laugh, Ya~ It seems to be very good?

"Ya, it's too distracting! Don't want it......"

Wu Yan laughed out loud, with rice in her mouth, almost squirting, if Mama was nagging her for having no rules.

On the second day, Emperor Yongming called Wu Yan to the study of the Qianqing Palace, along with several cabinet members.

The emperor showed Fang Siwei's inscription book to Wu Yan, and after a quick look at it, she understood what the emperor meant by asking her to come over. Ya's Fang Siwei can, and he is actually the first to comprehend the development ideas of the Economic Development Zone.

After reading it, he returned the question book, and after thinking about it, he said: "Fang County Ling is a talent, it seems that the first person to eat crabs is him." ”

"Puff ......" Li Ju laughed first, he felt more and more that this Yan Sizhen had a special set of words and deeds, and it was no wonder that he was favored.

"Yan Sizhen, what do you say?"

Wu Yan explained unhurriedly: "The first person to eat crabs is a metaphor for the first person who dares to do something. You think, the first person to eat a crab must be very admirable, who would dare to eat it if it is not a warrior? The crab is scary, ugly, and ferocious, and it really takes courage for the first person to eat it. ”

"Hehe, that's a good point, Yan Sizhen, if there is no 'warrior' in the world, this delicacy will be missing, just think about it...... Tsk......"

Wu Yan looked at Liu Yikun, thinking to himself, could it be that you have already eaten the hairy crabs in the first crop of this year? "Elder Liu Ge, speaking of eating crabs... In fact, the petty official still knows a lot of methods, and it is not interesting to always steam it, so you can change the taste. ”

"Uh-huh...... Speaking of this, "Emperor Yongming didn't like to hear it, why did he talk about crabs!"

Liu Yikun listened, there are still many ways to do crabs? Wonderful! He was already intended, so he wanted to continue asking, but unfortunately his majesty stopped him. He had to lip sync and say, "Come on......

Wu Yan smiled and nodded.

"Be serious! Wu Yan! As soon as Emperor Yongming glared, the dragon qi emanated.

Wu Yan hurriedly buried his head and pretended not to see it.

"Fang County's order is good, the minister thinks, it is better to approve the Liuhe pilot land auction?"

"The minister seconded the proposal, so that it is good to sum up the experience, or the shortcomings, and then improve it."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister also seconded the proposal."
