Castle Lord's Mansion.

Li Changan looked at the two people in front of him with blue noses and swollen faces, and tapped the table with his fingers.

"Da, da, da......"

The urban construction work is really not so easy to do, and it has encountered difficulties at the beginning.

Nail household, this is a very famous word in the previous life, but I didn't think that I would run into it in this life.

In fact, he used to be able to understand nail households, after all, it is not easy for ordinary people to have feelings for their own families, or to encounter unreasonable compensation.

But the wheels of the times are rolling, and if the society wants to develop, it is inevitable to demolish the old and build the new.

Now that he has become the lord of the city, he feels even more sad when he encounters this kind of thing when he is drastic.

At this time, Gonggong Hai walked in from outside, "Lord of the city, the old slave has already found out, that Gongzi brother is Wang Meng, the young master of the Wang family, and another Gongzi brother is Sun Wei, the young master of the Sun family. ”

The Wang family and the Sun family again?

Li Changan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold glow flashed.

He remembered that he still had old grudges with these two families, when he wanted to buy food and porridge, they also wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, which can be called a model of rich and unkind, so soon they bullied the head of the city lord again?

Hehe, these big families are really big!

Li Changan asked in a low voice, "How many houses are involved in them?" ”

"There are three in the Wang family and three in the Sun family, in addition, they also mobilized their family's miscellaneous servants and maids to extort together, adding up to ten households, and the asking price is 50,000 taels!"

Good fellow, fifty thousand taels.

Li Changan couldn't help but take a breath, this is an astronomical amount that he doesn't dare to think about at the moment.

How much fake wine do the Wang family and the Sun family have to drink to dare to ask for such a high price?

Gonggong Hai was furious and screamed: "How can this be reasonable! The families of the two remote and small places also dare to break ground on the heads of the three princes, punish the nine clans, and must punish the nine clans! ”

In Li Changan's opinion, his behavior was pure incompetence and rage.

Today is different from the past, the reputation of the three princes has collapsed, and they are extremely depressed, otherwise the Wang family and the Sun family would not dare to be so blatant.

Zhao Ancheng said helplessly: "The Wang family and the Sun family are the head snakes of the border city, if they don't cooperate, we can't ...... it for the time being."

If force is used...... The City Lord's Mansion is not only unable to suppress these two at present, but will also be suppressed in reverse, which is more embarrassing.

Li Changan instructed: "Gonggong Hai, go find Zhang Mingda and ask him to bring the account books of the City Lord's Mansion." ”

"Wow."

Soon, Gonggong Hai led Zhang Mingda to come quickly.

"Meet the lord of the castle."

Zhang Mingda saluted respectfully, and then handed the account book into Li Changan's hands.

Li Changan looked through it carefully, and there were only three profit items of the City Lord's Mansion recorded on the bill, the first was that he made a total profit of 1,000 taels from selling jewelry, the second was the money he sold to Xiao Yue'er last time to make ice, and he made 10,000 taels, and the third was the profit from the sale of saltpeter.

The Xiao family buys three tons of saltpeter every day, one kilogram of five wen, which can bring one hundred and fifty taels of income to the city lord's mansion, but this is not long-lasting, because there is only one month left in the hot summer, and the profit of the saltpeter project is estimated to be gone.

Next is the cost of the City Lord's Mansion.

It's not that he doesn't know, Li Changan found out that the daily food expenses and wages of the City Lord's Mansion will cost twenty-one taels, and if the newly recruited people for road construction are included, then this cost will have to be more than doubled.

Now there are a total of 11,123,256 Wen on the books of the City Lord's Mansion.

This may seem like a lot of money, but when you count the cost of building the road and the cost of demolition...... That's a lot short.

Li Changan asked: "How many families are involved in building the road?" ”

Zhao Ancheng replied: "Counting the Wang family and the Sun family, there are a total of 96 households, and we have to compensate them for houses of the same size, and the average cost of one household is 100 taels." ”

Because it is necessary to improve the image of the border city, the house allocated to the big guy for demolition cannot be a simple mud house, but a centralized construction of materials using serious materials, and the price is many times higher than that of a mud house, but this is an investment, and the border city can definitely earn Li Changan back after it is developed.

In addition, 2 taels of compensation should be paid to each household for demolition, that is, 9,792 taels of silver will be required for demolition alone.

Not to mention that the Wang family and the Sun family still have ten nail households taking the opportunity to blackmail......

Li Changan put down the account book, rubbed his temples, closed his eyes and thought about countermeasures.

It's no wonder that many emperors in ancient times liked to slaughter big households, and he really wanted to slaughter, but his strength did not allow it......

No, I really have a way to kill them!

Li Changan had a flash of inspiration, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up a smile.

"Father-in-law Hai, I have a task for you to do, this and this ......"

……

Following.

In a wine shop, Sun Wei and Wang Meng were drinking, and the two pointed out the country, so unhappy.

Sun Wei took a sip of wine, his cheeks flushed, and he laughed proudly: "Hahaha, happy!" If I don't knock on the city lord's mansion this time, my Sun Wei will not be surnamed Sun! ”

Wang Meng squinted his eyes and sneered: "That's right, last time the city lord's mansion gave porridge, my family lost a few hundred taels of silver, this time let him spit it out ten times, so that he can know that the real masters of the border city are our Wang family and the Sun family." ”

"A down-and-out prince, who doesn't know what kind of wind his brain is pumping, and dares to shout unashamedly to develop the city, really let him succeed, how can we squeeze those untouchables?"

Sun Wei snorted coldly, and his words were full of superiority.

Such a big family like them, the most afraid is that the commoners become rich, because in this way, they will not be able to maintain their superiority, just imagine, everyone eats meat, then the meat in his mouth is not fragrant, only others eat soil, he eats meat, this meat is called fragrant!

It is better to be like this forever, to keep the class solidified, they have been high for generations, only they deserve to enjoy it, and the untouchables are not qualified! As soon as someone wants to change this status quo, they firmly disagree!

"Brother Sun doesn't have to care about this, then the third prince is just talking on paper, after all, he is also a person who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do things, and he really wants to do things for those untouchables, it's just asking for his own hardship!"

Wang Meng's tone was disdainful, and he changed his words and said: "I don't know where the Xiao family got a method of making ice, this is a good job to make money, and it is really eye-catching." ”

"Yes, I only found out that the Xiao family was suddenly mining a large amount of saltpeter, and I don't know if there is a connection."

"How does a broken rock turn into ice?"

Just as the two of them were puzzled, a man dressed in coarse linen and unkempt with a face that was difficult to see suddenly sat down at their table.

"Amazing, amazing, I see that the two of them have full foreheads, and there are colorful brilliance spewing out from the heavenly spirit cover, and they have no worries about food and clothing at a young age, and they will be able to soar to the sky in the future and become a person on the earth, which is a great blessing and noble appearance that is unique in ten thousand."

This person is Gonggong Hai, who came to the pit on the order of Li Changan...... Talking about business with Wang Meng and Sun Wei, the lines were all prepared for him by Li Changan, and Gonggong Hai memorized it for half an hour before he memorized it.

Although I don't know why the city lord has to say such a middle two line, Gonggong Hai cooperates unconditionally.

How did he know that this line was Li Changan's feelings.

Sun Wei and Wang Meng suddenly saw a beggar sitting over, and they were displeased, but after listening to the beggar's words, they immediately smiled.

Sun Wei smiled and said, "You are very discerning, but so what? ”

"My set of "Ice Making Method" is a priceless treasure, but seeing that you and I are fated, I will charge you 10,000 taels and sell it to you."

"The Law of Ice Making"?

Sun Wei and Wang Meng stared at the old beggar in disbelief.

Wang Meng said in a condensed voice: "What you said is true or false? ”

"I can prove it to you on the spot." After Gonggong Hai finished speaking, he closed his eyes and recuperated, looking like a master.

Wang Meng and Sun Wei glanced at each other, and each took out five thousand taels of silver tickets and put them on the table, "If what you said is true, the money will be yours." ”

Grandpa Hai's eyes widened and his beard trembled.

They actually carried so many silver tickets with them?

Damn, it's going to be less!
