"Sir. All the small flags, as well as the big ones, are selling the fields outside the fort. or put up notices, or let people spread it. But there are many people who watch the excitement, and few people buy it. Now the price of the field is only half a penny. ”

The housekeeper ran in front of Wu Nian and reported.

Liu Xiang and Chen also knew about this matter.

Liu Xiang snorted lightly and said, "Brother." I heard that these small banners were afraid that the Mengyuan people would go south, so they were in a hurry to sell their land. ”

Chen nodded, his red lips exhaling lightly. She ran over to wipe Wu Nian's sweat just now, and at such a short distance, she began to be delicate and weak.

"I know. Otherwise, what else would I send a butler for? Wu Nian didn't tell Liu Xiang about these messy things, she just had to be an official wife.

"Send people and knock on the door from house to house, and they say I want to buy their fields." Wu Nian raised his head and said to the housekeeper.

"Brother. They are all in a hurry to sell their fields, why do you buy them? Liu Xiang was very puzzled, her eyes were full of vigilance, for fear that her man would suffer.

Still Chen has some insight, she pulled Liu Xiang's arm and said softly: "Men's affairs, women don't care." ”

"Oh." Liu Xiangman listened to Chen's words and nodded obediently.

"It's really a good sister, my family's Dinghai God Needle." Wu Nian was not ashamed, and gently hugged Chen's thin willow waist. Chen glared at her fiercely, Xia Fei's cheeks twisted his waist and walked away angrily.

In this blue sky and white day, there are outsiders present. This disciple is angry with me.

Liu Xiang also helped Chen, and said angrily: "Brother, there are outsiders here." With that, she hurriedly chased after Chen.

"Yes." The butler answered, and ran away. Zhang Jin turned his head away, not daring to look.

"Huh." Wu Nian laughed dryly. This sister is good at everything, but she is ashamed. He is not allowed to make love during the day, but he can do anything at night.

"Brother, let's go to the hall and wait for these little flags." He turned his head and said to Zhang Jin.

"Hmm." Zhang Jin hummed and followed Wu Nian to the hall and sat down.

The maid went to make tea and came up.

The tea in Wu Nian's house is not as high-end as before the rain, it is just ordinary wild mountain tea, but it tastes quite delicious to drink.

With a cup of tea, all the eight small flags in the 100 households have come, and there are more than a dozen large households with fields at home.

The big guys are like ants on a hot pot, and when they hear that there is still a big head to take over the plate, where is not in a hurry?

"Brother. These people are selling their fields, but you are buying them. Don't fool your brothers. Wu Dangkou walked a little hurriedly, panting and red, and without waiting for the wheezing to stop, he hurriedly said to Wu Nian.

"yes. Wu Xiaoqi, don't make us happy. ”

"Don't say that, Brother Wu is a person with a mouth of spit and a mouthful of nails. How can it lie to us? ”

The small flags sat down, and the big families stood, all of them were skeptical about this matter, and some of them sang white-faced and some red-faced, so it was not lively.

"My good brother, how could I lie to you?" Wu Nian said to Wu Dangkou with a smile, and then asked the maid to make tea, and then said, "I have eaten all the fields you have." Write the deed today and transfer the deed. Anyway, we opened a hundred households. Convenient. ”

"Still. The price of an acre of land, I only pay 300 yuan. Brothers, you have to think about it. ”

"That's right. Now that you have sold your land, you don't need so many slaves and maids. Sell me as many slaves and maids as you have. ”

As he spoke, Wu Nian picked up the warm tea cup and drank the tea calmly. It's like Jiang Taigong sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and eating King Wen of Zhou.

As soon as Xiaoqi and the big households heard it, they immediately fried the pot.

They are relieved, Wu Nian is not untargeted, he really wants to buy their land. But on the other hand, this black-hearted profiteer.

The special code of 300 wen and one acre of land is a loss for the exit of this guy.

Originally, this acre of land was worth three and five.

Xiaoqi and the big families were so angry and cold that they wanted to scold their mothers.

But they don't want to think about it either. How did they get the fields in their names? They were all obtained from ordinary military households by similar means.

What's more, it's not that Wu Nian wants to buy it now, but that they are all ants on a hot pot, and they can't be in a hurry.

"My good brother. I can't accept your price, can you increase it? How about four hundred and fifty wen? Wu Dangkou was furious in his heart, but he didn't dare to turn his face, so he could only frown sadly and say to Wu Nian with a little flattery.

Other small flags and big households followed up and echoed Wu Dangkou.

Wu Nian didn't take a step back, so he said: "Brothers." You must know that the Mengyuan people are very likely to go south this year, and if Liaodong is lost, my money will be wasted. I took the risk, and my brothers have to back down, right? ”

"Three hundred dollars, you have to sell it. Just sell. Not sold. Just when I didn't say it. ”

Wu Nian's words are really powerful. Since Chen Jinshi began to say that the Mengyuan people would break through Liaodong, this matter became more and more evil.

These three people became tigers, and people listened to it a lot, as if the Mengyuan people were like the beasts of the year, and the day was coming.

The small flags and big households only felt dizzy. I feel that if I don't sell my land today, I will regret it tomorrow.

"Sold." Wu Dangkou's anxious cold sweat flowed out, and he was doing a fierce ideological struggle in his heart, and when he opened his mouth to say these two words, the whole person seemed to have taken all the bones, and he collapsed on the chair.

The nearly 100-year-old land accumulated by the Wu family was sold cheaply by me.

With Wu Dangkou's opening, small banners and big households opened their mouths one after another, scrambling to be the first, for fear that if they were sold late, Wu Nian would not buy their fields.

"Take your time, take your time. What my family has is money. Wu Nian smiled and comforted the small flags and big households, and then asked the housekeeper to move the desk, the four treasures of the study, and immediately wrote the contract, and then sent it to the hundred households for transfer.

Now, with his position in the Hundred Households, this kind of thing can be done on the same day.

Immediately, Wu Nian asked the housekeeper to quarrel with these people and bought the surplus slaves. However, he does not buy a slave or maid, he buys it with his family.

It is easy for a slave to run, but it is not easy to run away with a family.

It didn't take long for these small flags and big families to leave the Wu Mansion, all of them with pale faces and weak hands and feet, as if they were overindulged.

But they breathed a sigh of relief again.

The fields of this hot potato were sold, and some of the house slaves were sold. It was replaced with gold and silver, so that when the Mengyuan people went south, they could travel lightly and quickly escape from Liaodong.

When they think about it, they feel a lot more energetic.

Many people are still laughing at Wu Nian in their hearts.

We can travel lightly, you Wu Nian ate our land at a low price, what's the use?

Inside the hall. Wu Nian sat on the chair and watched the housekeeper sit on the chair and hit the abacus on the desk. When the housekeeper put down the pen, Wu Nian asked with a smile, "How much land did I buy?" ”

"Three thousand acres." The butler's face was already sweating, and he stammered.

Outside the entire Beishan Fort Hundred Households, there are only more than 10,000 acres of land. Good guy, there are three percent of its surname Wu.

Today he has seen a lot, what is it called to take advantage of it.

Wu Nian laughed out loud when he heard this, turned his head to Zhang Jin beside him and said, "I bought 3,000 acres of land at the price of 300 wen per mu. ”

"Congratulations, Lord Xiaoqi." Zhang Jin also laughed out loud and said with his fists clenched.

When troubled times come, the bold will be killed and the faint will be starved. These officials also deserve to be slaughtered.

"How many slaves are there?" Wu Nian asked again energetically.

"There are 38 households in total, nearly 300 people." The butler looked down at the record for a moment before looking up and saying.

"At this time, there are more than 1,000 slaves in my house. That's almost half of the number of military households in Beishan Fort. But I bought so much land, and I really need them to take care of it. ”

Wu Nian exhaled, feeling very comfortable.

"According to the plan. Go buy cotton seeds immediately, and if you don't have enough manpower, ask the military households in Beishan Fort to help you cultivate them. Remember. If you pay enough wages, you should take care of the food. The rulers can be humiliated, but the people cannot be humiliated. ”

At the end of his speech, his face became serious, his eyes sparkled coldly at the butler, and he said, "If you dare to make a small move, I will kill you." ”

"The villain doesn't dare."

Wu Nian's murderous aura, where could the housekeeper bear it, so frightened that he immediately knelt down, kowtowed and didn't even dare to say.

"Hmm." Wu Nian nodded with satisfaction and retracted his momentum.

The subordinate must be beaten often, otherwise it is easy to deceive the master.

Just then, a soldier walked in with a man covered in blood. After Wu Nian and Zhang Jin saw this man, their faces suddenly changed.

Isn't this the soldier who followed Li Sheng into the city to buy horses and supplies?
