Zhu Hao returned to the shop and went to see Su Xigui with Zhu Niang.

Su Xigui didn't care about his business, and specially stayed in Anlu to wait for the results of the salt, and as time went by, the first batch of salt gradually became eyebrow-raising, and his heart settled down.

It seems that Zhu Hao didn't lie to him.

Think about it, if there is really a "secret recipe", with Zhu Niang, an orphan and widow, how could she get snowflake salt and sell it to him?

"Owner, Nanjing has been urging it recently, and our snowflake salt is in short supply, if we don't get another batch out...... I'm afraid that the old customers will patronize other houses. ”

Before Su Xigui went downstairs to meet Zhu Niang's mother and son, his subordinates were reporting to him on business.

Su Xigui spoke with a little impatience: "I'm not thinking of a way, hurry up and get out the salt?" Think the salt is blowing in the wind? Since they will patronize other houses, they are not considered regular customers, so I don't believe that anyone can eat better salt than this? Is it true that everyone is an emperor and eats tribute salt every day? ”

Downstairs cubicle.

Su Xigui came in and asked his subordinates to put down a wooden box, and when he opened it, it was full of land deeds.

"For the time being, I only received 400 acres of land, and the specific address will be taken to you to see, all of which are more than ten years of mature land, and there are tenants...... There is a Zhuangzi in the connection, and I am ready to buy the Zhuangzi next to it, which is only more than 30 miles away from the county seat......"

The land that Su Xigui helped buy, according to Zhu Hao's previous request, should not be too close to the county seat, but it should not be too far away.

The land near the county seat is generally more expensive, and no one develops real estate in these years, and the land purchased outside the city is mainly based on farming, as long as the land is good, and the proximity to the county seat is nothing more than that you can enter the city in time to avoid it when the robbery occurs......

But as long as you are outside the city walls, the bandits are intent on robbing you, and they can't stop you at all, and often the government is more ruthless than the bandits.

It is far away from the county seat, also to avoid being found out by the Zhu family.

Zhu Niang looked at Tian Qi, feeling a little excited, but she didn't reach out to take the wooden box.

Zhu Hao smiled and didn't stretch out his hand.

Su Xigui looked at Zhu Hao, squinted his eyes and said: "I know what you kid thinks, but you should know the local land price in Anlu, if you want to change to Jiangnan, one acre of mature land will cost ten taels of silver, and five thousand taels can almost buy five hundred acres of land...... That's just half of it at the moment. ”

Zhu Hao smiled: "How can I not believe in the owner of the Su? It's just that this field was bought in the name of the owner of the Soviet Union, and it still has to be in the name of our family. ”

"That's easy to do." Su Xigui said, "Find someone to be a witness today, the contract is set, and you can't miss the spring sowing next year." ”

Zhu Hao muttered: "I still want to plant some woad this winter." ”

Su Xigui sneered disdainfully in his mouth: "I haven't been on the ground since I saw you, the woad vegetables are all planted before the ambush, and the woad vegetables are planted in winter...... Not even the sprouts sprout. ”

Zhu Hao smiled: "I want to grow some out-of-season vegetables, can't I?" Lord Su, you are really lenient. ”

Zhu Niang hurriedly scolded: "Xiao Hao, don't be disrespectful to Su Dongzhu." ”

"It's okay, Mrs. Zhusan, Ling Lang spoke in such a tone...... The contemptible people appreciate it, and if he can really grow any out-of-season vegetables, I will ask him to buy a batch and taste it. ”

Su Xigui himself is not a person who adheres to etiquette, and he has a very happy conversation with Zhu Hao.

On the contrary, Zhu Niang seemed to be redundant on the side, and it seemed that letting her son come alone would have a better effect than now.

Su Xigui's eyes fell on Zhu Niang: "Third lady, I don't know whose name is this bought farmhouse?" ”

Zhu Niang said: "My son is fine." ”

Su Xigui nodded: "The third lady is dedicated to the sake of the child, but if it is really recorded in his name, the Zhu family will make up their minds in the future...... I'm afraid that you won't be able to fight alone. ”

Zhu Niang seemed to have thought about this question a long time ago, and her tone was firm: "It was originally prepared for the child in the future, no matter how unreasonable the Zhu family is, they can't ignore the family feelings, right?" ”

"Huh."

Su Xigui smiled and said nothing.

Zhu Hao reminded: "Lord Su, in fact, as long as you don't say it, how can the Zhu family know that we bought the land?" If you want to rob it, you have to be famous, right? ”

Su Xigui waved his hand: "The thing is yours, whatever you do with it, I just kindly reminded you, if there is an offense...... Heh, you will have to collect salt in a few days, but it's a pity that Young Master Zhu, you can't go with the contemptible people. ”

"No need."

Zhu Hao took the wooden box over, and after carefully reading the deed one by one, he said, "Hurry up and set up the contract, I still have to go back to the palace to study, if the Zhu family really comes to grab it...... It's a big deal that I will donate the land directly to Xingwangfu, even if it is given to tenants...... Can't be cheap Zhu family! ”

Su Xigui cocked his thumb: "How else to say that your Young Master Zhu has courage!" There really will be a day when I will have a way to keep your land! ”

……

……

Didn't find a notary.

Directly, Zhu Hao, Su Xigui and Zhu Niang sat down and made the contract.

If you go to the government to register again, there is basically no major problem with the ownership of the land, unless one party has to cause a lawsuit, but because there is a contract written in black and white, this kind of lawsuit is not pleasing to both sides.

Coming out of the inn.

Zhu Niang asked puzzledly: "Xiao Hao, what did the owner of Su say earlier that there is a way to keep our land?" ”

Zhu Hao said: "Su Dongzhu's voice is that grandmother or second uncle will lead people to grab our land, and he can take the way of the government to help us keep the land, after all, he sold the land to us, and he may use some ...... Unconventional means. It sounds good, but it's better not to go this far, this Su Dongzhu also has selfish intentions, so you can't ignore it. ”

Zhu Niang nodded: "That's right, if he asks us to sign some debt contract, we will lose all our money." ”

Zhu Niang smiled: "Mother, people spent 10,000 taels of silver to buy us a recipe, and they didn't care about the hard work to help us collect land locally, even if you want to prevent it, you don't have to be the same as a thief, right?" ”

Zhu Niang thought about it.

If Su Xigui really has bad intentions, he just doesn't give 5,000 taels of silver, why do he have to buy the land and send it first, and then plan to take it away?

Zhu Hao said: "Mother, I want to go back to the palace early today...... I have discussed studying with the prince before, and I can't accompany you and my aunt more. ”

Zhu Niang nodded: "It's okay, studying hard is more important than anything else." ”

"Hey, in fact, mother, it doesn't matter whether you study hard or not, the most important thing is to have a good relationship with Xingwangfu...... Forget it, I can't explain it to you now, but you'll know later, I've found the trick now, just wait to fly with my son. Zhu Hao took out the child's unique childlike ambition.

But it made Zhu Niang smile.

……

……

Zhu Hao was not in a hurry to return to the palace.

It's about taking care of your own business.

Yu San informed him very early that he had found a foreign opera troupe, and he was willing to come out directly and let Zhu Hao come over to talk about it.

Since it was to talk about business, Zhu Hao of course had to show a certain amount of sincerity, and after noon, he went with Yu San to meet the owner of the troupe who lived in an inn on the outskirts of the city, a man in his forties, who looked a little lonely and wealthy.

"Brother Hao...... Later, the younger ones will call you host...... In other words, this Li is in charge, and he used to be a big family, and the troupe was originally a family, but who knew that the family would put the troupe outside to make money, but he couldn't make much money by acting left and right, so he wanted to make ......"

Yu San added a little more information, and soon the two met with Class Master Li.

Class Master Li didn't expect the other party to find a child to talk to him, and he was very surprised when he saw Zhu Hao.

"This ......"

Li Banzhu's face was not good, and he almost brushed his sleeves and left.

Yu Sandao: "This is our owner, don't look at the young age, with an official background, and a lot of money." ”

A disdainful smile appeared on the face of Class Master Li.

What about making fun of me?

A bear child with a lot of money?

Is that his own money?

Zhu Hao smiled: "Don't listen to the little third brother's nonsense, it's just a small business...... Li is in charge, right? Let's talk about the details of the transaction...... Although I don't have much money, I took the time to open the bookstore, and let the shopkeeper Yu help me watch it, and now I want to buy a completely own drama troupe and sing the plays I wrote. ”

Class Master Li looked proud: "Singing your own play? Ignorance, or hubris? ”

Zhu Hao was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "People in small places should be arrogant and ignorant, right? Yu shopkeeper, first show him the deposit. ”

As Zhu Hao's voice fell, Yu San immediately opened the wooden box he brought.

Inside is a part of Zhu Hao's belongings earned in the past few months, and there are fifty taels when he comes up.

Class Master Li's eyes were straight.

is young, but he can't stand up to be generous...... This is much more practical than other people who talk to him about business.

"How embarrassing is this......

As Mr. Li spoke, he was about to reach for the wooden box.

Yu San shouted: "Li Dangjia, what do you mean by this?" ”

Class Master Li was puzzled: "Didn't you say it was a deposit?" ”

Yu Sandao: "That's just a polite statement...... Even if it's a deposit, do you take out the contract or something first? There should always be a deed of sale, right? The music of the drama is no problem, right? When we haven't been in contact with the troupe, or what? ”

Only then did the head of the Li class put away his arrogance, picked up a bag from the side, and when he opened it, there was an oiled paper bag inside, and then there was a thick stack of contracts inside.

"It's all happy households, a few people in our troupe have signed a deed of sale, and the rest are not, which is equivalent to a long-term deed, and many of the female dependents in the troupe have families, don't worry about other people's bodies...... But if you just let you accompany the wine and sing a clear song, it is not impossible, 'men remember forty songs, women remember three thousand', each has its own strengths.

"There are sixteen people, including the musicians, and the longest contract is sixteen years, and the shortest one is one year, and they are free to leave the troupe without restraint...... But if there is no way out, the contract can be renewed......"

When Class Master Li said these words, it was like he was going to give up his long-cherished treasure to others, and there was a lot of reluctance on his face.

To sum it up.

There are sixteen people in the troupe, all of whom are musicians, both men and women, handsome and ugly.

In the Ming Dynasty, music is a special group, a kind of lowly nationality, hereditary, good and low are not allowed to intermarry, which means that the music man can only marry the music woman, no right to take the imperial examination, and can only entertain people with sound and color for generations.

The contract of the handsome female drama is the most valuable, this kind of contract stipulates that she will only work for the troupe in the next few years, which is equivalent to a long contract, and it is not a deed of sale in itself, and you can't take the contract to sell people directly to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion.

It's tantamount to selling your art but not your body!

But there are really powerful people who listen to playing and singing, and they have to forcibly occupy beauty outside of vocal arts, most of them dare not go to the government to report, and can only suffer dumb losses.
