Chapter 56 Buying Land in Huating County

After eating and drinking, Li Yong and Li Lizhi walked hand in hand by the moonlit stream, the two of them didn't say anything, they just kept walking, and after walking for a while, they looked at each other and smiled, because the tacit understanding between lovers is like this, many times a look, an expression understands what the other party thinks, just like Li Yong and Li Lizhen.

"Li Yong, do you know? It was the happiest time of my life. ”

The two of them found a place to sit down, Li Lizhi put her hands on her legs and palms supported her cheeks, looking at Li Yong with a smile, Li Lizhi at this moment, Li Yong felt very beautiful, he reached out and gently stroked her head and said.

"Fool, what is this? How old are you as a little girl? is so sad and sentimental, what if there will be happier days in the future? ”

Li Lizhi believed what he said, because she felt that as long as she was with him, she would be happy, even if the two of them said a word together, they would feel at ease and happy if they didn't do anything.

"Let's go back, rest early, and continue our journey tomorrow."

Li Lizhen stood up and took Li Yong's hand and walked back, everyone looked at the two people who kept sprinkling dog food, the guards dutifully guarded around the area, Chunlan made a bed for Li Lizhen in the tent, and there was no word all night, and the people in the tent slept under the protection of the moon and stars. The next day, everyone continued to drive east, continued to appreciate this beautiful river and mountain, and unconsciously came to the final destination - Suzhou, looking at the prosperous Suzhou, Li Yong sighed.

"It's really heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below!"

The four women also saw the bustling and lively Jiangnan, although Suzhou has not experienced the beauty of the development after a thousand years, but it has already shown its beauty, just like the Jiangnan woman, Li Yong took everyone to walk in the bustling Suzhou city, appreciate the tour in this Suzhou city, after they walked for a while, a strange man handed a waist card to Li Yong's guards, and then the guards took him to Li Yong.

"Childe, Suzhou has already arranged accommodation for you and a few ladies, please come with me."

Li Yong knew that this was the intelligence bureau personnel he arranged in the state, Li Yong and they followed the intelligence officer to a small courtyard with Jiangnan characteristics, Li Lizhen and others also liked this beautiful and beautiful courtyard very much, and began to choose their own rooms, and Li Yong went to see the intelligence person in charge here, after the man saw Li Yong come in, he quickly got up and saluted Li Yong, Li Yong shook his hand and said.

"There's no need to salute outside, just sit down and tell me what's going on here."

"Yes, commander, the current assassin in Suzhou is called Xiao Yan, it is the Xiao family of Lanling in Jiangnan, Xiao Yu is his uncle, he is shrewd and greedy, especially for women, according to the investigation of his subordinates, there are more than 20 concubines in this family, and he also raises many outer rooms outside."

"It's so powerful, it's not enough to have twenty people in the family, and you're still raising a junior outside? Awesome. ”

Li Yong was really eye-opening when he heard that this person was so lustful, he had heard it before, and now he has seen it with his own eyes, calling this damn feudal society, how much power there is, how good he is at playing, Li Yong motioned for him to continue.

"In addition, this person is very shrewd, we have tried in various ways many times without seeing his real thoughts, and blindly ambiguous with us, that is, he does not support us or oppose us, which gives us a lot of headaches."

"Doesn't he like beautiful women? Why not do it? ”

"We've done that, but with little effect."

"I understand, it's nothing more than a price and an estimate, what you give does not meet what he wants, there is a market in this world, so you can inquire, in addition to Suzhou and Hangzhou, there are any beautiful famous prostitutes, and then get some of our Xishan glass, it is best to have rockeries and flowing water, I believe that this kind of person likes to be vassal, after preparing everything, and then take my name card, invite this Lord Xiao to the best restaurant in Suzhou City, and I will talk to him personally."

"The subordinates understand, now let the subordinates prepare."

After arranging things, Li Yong took four people to wander around the major beauties of Suzhou every day these days, tasting the food here and appreciating the customs here, several people were deeply fascinated by the beautiful Jiangnan, and said that it is no wonder that Emperor Yang of Sui likes to go down to the south of the Yangtze River so much, because it is indeed too beautiful here, and the beautiful people linger, Li Yong and a few people sat in the attic, tasting exquisite snacks, looking at the drizzle and hazy Suzhou City outside, just when a few people were drinking tea and looking at the beautiful scenery outside, the personnel of the Intelligence Bureau came to Li Yong's side, After saying a few words in his ear, he returned to the study with Li Yong.

"Commander, we have found a high-quality kabuki in the area of the Qinhuai River in Jinling, and we have arranged to live in Yanyu Tower, and the gifts are also prepared according to your wishes, just waiting for you to make an appointment to meet Xiao Yan when you will."

"Then bring my name card and ask him to come to Yanyu Building tomorrow night, by the way, is Yanyu Building our property? If it is, then it will be closed for a day, and if it is not, it will be closed for a day. ”

"Commander, Yanyu Building is indeed our industry, and our subordinates will arrange for it to be closed to the public tomorrow."

After Li Yong waited for him to leave, he opened the window of the study and faced the courtyard where it was still raining outside.

"Finally, I have to deal with these Jiangnan Shi clans."

Xiao Yan held Li Yong's name card in his hand, in addition to the time and place written on it, there was also a sentence, a sentence that made his heart move, he couldn't refuse this meeting, he agreed, and said that he would arrive on time, and got an accurate reply, Li Yong looked into the distance in the flow pavilion on the rockery, no one knew what he was thinking. On the second day, Li Yong came to Yanyulou early, looking at the antique luxury decoration, it is worthy of being the best restaurant in the local area, but no one knows that it is an intelligence station behind the scenes, Li Yong was taken by the person in charge of intelligence to a large and luxurious box facing Suzhou Creek, Li Yong looked at it very satisfied, sat by the window and watched the various boats shuttling on Suzhou Creek.

"Childe, this is Miss Su, look ......"

Li Yong glanced back at the person standing in front of him wearing a full-breasted skirt, his age was estimated to be fifteen or sixteen years old, the fifteen-year-old girl of the ancients was about to marry and have children, Li Yong hated this damn era a little, but in this environment in ancient times, he couldn't do anything, Li Yong looked at her posture as the person in charge said, it was superior, it couldn't be compared with Li Lizhen and Zheng Liwan, Li Yong didn't say anything, waved his hand to the person in charge, the person in charge understood what Li Yong meant, and took the woman to the side room to wait. The night of Suzhou City, where the weather is bad, came earlier, the whole Suzhou City is already on the lights, just after a while, Xiao Yan came to the box under the leadership of the shopkeeper, Li Yong stood up and saluted him, Li Yong glanced at Xiao Yan, and couldn't help but think of the ancient corrupt officials who played in those dramas in later generations, with a mustache and a fat figure, if you make it white on the nose again, the black gauze hat is replaced with two swinging round shapes, that is a proper turtle prime minister, Xiao Yan also looked at Li Yong, who was slender but looked very sturdy, The age looks like he is fifteen or sixteen years old, but he feels very mature and steady, although Xiao Yan has also investigated this Li Yong, but because Jiangnan is too far away from Chang'an, a lot of news has not been transmitted, he only knows that such a noble son is the young master of a big family, and the Intelligence Bureau is also keeping Li Yong's identity secret.

"Li Gongzi came to Jiangnan this time, and what did he do in Suzhou, where the old man lived?"

"Lord Xiao, please take a seat first, the kid came to Jiangnan this time mainly to do some small business for the family, and when he came to Lord Xiao's treasure land, he naturally wanted to make friends."

Xiao Yan sat generously on the seat of the main seat, Li Yong sat opposite him, and then all kinds of delicacies began to come up one by one, Li Yong's restaurant is cooked in modern cooking methods, which naturally makes those Tang people who also know how to steam and roast to eat, plus this kind of dinner in Yanyulou is specially arranged, what mountain and sea delicacies are all available, Li Yong let the guards pretending to be servants bring in a few bottles of Xishan special offerings, Xiao Yan looked at the glass bottle with white clear wine, and was surprised to see such wine for the first time, I feel that this noble son is very unusual, but he still keeps a calm face, Li Yong knows this kind of person too well, he asked people to open the wine bottle and pour it into a cup made of glass, the room was instantly filled with a strong aroma of wine, Tang people are good wine, Xiao Yan is no exception, he knows that it is good wine as soon as he smells this taste, looking at the table full of delicacies and luxurious glass wine glasses, and such a fine wine, he is even more impressed by Li Yong.

"Lord Thorn Shi, I got this wine from a good friend, but it is a good wine with no price, and I know that adults like fine wine, so I brought it to my lord to taste."

"Li Gongzi's wine is too precious, this official doesn't dare to drink it."

"The adults laughed, the so-called wine with a beautiful woman, this wine is there, and the beauty must not be without."

Li Yong stretched out his hand and clapped his hands lightly, and the "beauty" who had been waiting in the side room for a long time walked out with light lotus steps, Xiao Yan saw this Miss Su's eyes straightened, and she exclaimed in surprise, and she couldn't speak.

Li ...... Li Gongzi this ......"

"My lord, this woman is also a boy who respects adults, Miss Su, why don't you go and drink with adults?"

As a singer of Qinhuaihe, she didn't understand these things, she made a slight blessing to Xiao Yan and came to sit down beside Xiao Yan, and then picked up a wine glass to toast him.

"My lord, the little woman has made a toast to you."

Then drank it elegantly, it may be that the liquor in Xishan is too strong, Miss Su's little face turned slightly red all of a sudden, and I saw that Xiao Yan, who was still serious, hugged her, and then picked up the wine glass and drank the wine inside, and was immediately conquered by the liquor of Xishan, and shouted.

"Good wine, good beauty, hahaha...... Thank you Li Gongzi. ”

Looking at the LSP, Li Yong picked up his wine glass and saluted him.

"My lord, it's best to be full of your wishes, and the kid toasts you."

Xiao Yan smiled and picked up the wine glass that was filled with the beauty next to him and Li Yong, so the atmosphere was let go, Li Yong accompanied him while drinking and having fun, but more often it was Xiao Yan and the beauty around him who were eyebrow-raising, and only after three rounds of wine did Li Yong start to talk to Xiao Yan, who had already held the beauty on his lap.

"My lord, are you satisfied with the boy's arrangements for tonight?"

Xiao Yan has been engaged in Xishan spirits and the beauty in his arms, and he can't tell the difference between north and south.

"Satisfied, thank you Li Gongzi for breaking the bank."

"Look at what you said, my lord, this is what a kid should do."

Li Yong's words made him feel very comfortable, he really wanted to let those people who usually ask him to do things to learn, to see how people talk, how comfortable it sounded, knowing that he must have something to ask for, but Li Yong's arrangement made him unable to find any fault, he let the beautiful woman in his arms sit back in his seat, knowing that it was time to talk about business.

"Li Gongzi must have something to do when he came to Suzhou this time, right? If the old man can do it, he will definitely help you. ”

So the people in this officialdom are artistic, if you only listen to the meaning of the bright face, then you are wrong, and it is a big mistake, Xiao Yan's meaning is actually that you have something to ask, I know, but if you want me to help you, you can, but you have to add money, how could Li Yong not understand, he slapped his palms lightly twice, and the two people in servant clothes came in carrying a large basin, and the things on the basin were covered by a red cloth, and it was impossible to see what it was from the shape, and the basin came to Xiao Yan.

"My lord, this mountain and flowing water is another gift I give to my adult, and you will accept it with a smile."

The moment Xiao Yan lifted the red cloth, his breathing stagnated, a huge rockery made of glass, he also seemed to see a waterfall in the rockery, which can only be described as ingenious, even Miss Su on the side was shocked by this glass rockery, she was thirteen years old on the flower boat of the Qinhuai River, no one has ever seen it, many treasures have also seen, but this one has not seen, the glass is a rarity in this era, so shaped and huge, they have not seen it, but they looked at the glazed rockery in front of them like a bun, Li Yong and the others were not surprised, there are still a lot of this thing in the warehouse, Xiao Yan's trembling hand touched the glazed rockery, and his mouth trembled and said.

"It should be in heaven only."

Li Yong took a sip of wine, in fact, his wine was all white water, he always thought that he was still a minor and couldn't drink, so the wine he drank was all white water, and waited for Xiao Yan to finish his visit slowly.

"My lord, this thing took me two years to make it by asking the master of the Great Food Country, and I gave it to my lord, and it can be regarded as the original owner of the thing."

Xiao Yan sat back in his seat with a smile when he heard this, and he didn't go around in circles with Li Yong, after all, people's sincerity is so great.

"Then thank you Li Gongzi, let's say, what do you want the old man to help you?"

The change from the title of the official to the boss, Li Yong knew that he had already approved it, and the time had come for the poor dagger to see it.

"The kid does have something that needs to trouble the adult, our family is in the sea business, and we need the port to go to sea, so I want to buy a piece of land nearby to build a port, which is the trouble for the adult."

"Buying land? Port? ”

The land in the Tang Dynasty is not allowed to be traded privately, but in many places powerful people have annexed some fertile land, and the court and local officials have turned a blind eye to this, because the family behind them often does such things, as for the port that Li Yong said, there was no law at that time to build a wharf port, because at that time they were not interested in the sea, only those fertile lands in the Central Plains, which can only be said that the times limited their vision, I don't know that in a thousand years, there will be aliens coming from the sea and opening the country with ships and cannons. So what Li Yong said is not a big deal for Xiao Yan, it should be said that it is not a matter at all.

"Yes, my lord, I am willing to buy the land near the sea in Huating County, I don't know if it is inconvenient for adults?"

Xiao Yan was thinking about Huating County, which Li Yong said, that is a wasteland, there are few people, although it is a county, but the population is not more than a thousand households, they are all some down-and-out fishermen, and Li Yong has long coveted Huating County, this is the Shanghai of later generations, the unique geographical location, the port is a natural deep-water port, east of the East China Sea, and Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, the closest distance to the Wa Kingdom, this is where he has always wanted to build his own shipyard and port.

"It's not that you can't, but I don't know, how much is Li Gongzi going to spend to buy it? You know that the land of my dynasty is not allowed to be bought and sold privately. ”

"What the adult said, the kid knows, the price is easy to say, as long as the adult agrees, the kid will definitely have a lot of thanks."

"That's it, the old man won't give you a descendant, I can sell you the 10,000 acres of land near the sea in Huating County, and I won't ask you more for the price, just five million yuan, what do you think?"

Its practical five million guan sold 10,000 mu of land, which is neither expensive nor cheap, of course, it is a talk about some fertile land, but where is Huating County not suitable for farming, so this five million guan is too much, but Li Yong did not bargain, pretended to hesitate, and then said.

"The adult is so refreshing, that kid can't say anything, then five million yuan, the land is delivered, and I will pay it off immediately."

Li Yong's expression fell in his eyes, thinking that he could easily get five million yuan in this way, and he also got such a precious glazed rockery, and he made a lot of money today.

"Okay, you kid, the old man likes it."

Xiao Yan picked up the wine glass and raised it to Li Yong, who was sitting opposite, Li Yong also picked up the wine glass, and then the two drank it together, and in this way, the 10,000 acres of land near the sea in Huating County were bought and sold on the wine table.
