The foreman was surprised, looked up at Zhu Bai, and then blushed and kowtowed: "The villain knows." ”

Zhu Bai said: "These children, you don't want to arrange any dangerous and difficult work, just let them hand things and run errands." Don't look at this king and want to fool this king when he is young, this king will come to check from time to time. If you deduct your wages again, then the human head hanging on the city wall, and the fur man placed at the gate of the West City Guard, will be your example. ”

The foreman wiped his sweat: "Yes." ”

Zhu Bai said again: "You can rest assured that you can earn the money that should be earned, and this king will not lose any of your sons." ”

The foreman kowtowed: "Got it." ”

Zhu Neng suddenly sneered: "Don't pretend to be a good person, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have to work." ”

Zhu Bai raised his eyebrows: "Eh, this pot, this king doesn't carry it." Your family is not poor, and this king has no responsibility for half a dime. ”

Zhu Neng said: "Come less, we originally lived well in Xishi." If you hadn't done some house survey, we wouldn't have been homeless. ”

Zhu Bai suddenly woke up: By the way, how can the shack where the gang of people in the West City live have a house deed and a title deed, they must have found a random place to build it.

In fact, he just wanted the people who were encroaching on the road to move the wall back.

The survey of the house was proposed by Zhu Biao, and it had nothing to do with him.

But it was useless for him to explain to these people.

They don't even pay attention.

In other words, so many people in Xishi hate him to the bone.

Gotta figure figure it out.

Zhu Bai thought for a moment and left the gang behind.

Rich and noble they are inexplicable, busy to keep up.

Zhu Bai pondered as he walked.

He knows how to solve this problem, and from the Tang and Song dynasties to modern times, the solutions are much the same.

But he didn't want to tell Lao Zhu directly.

He didn't want to be too showy, especially when Queen Ma and Zhu Biao were already jealous of him.

-----

The weather is getting hotter and hotter these days, and summer is really coming.

Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao were criticizing and folding, and after watching for a while, they discussed a few words.

Zhu Bai took a pen and a ruler, and drew something on rice paper?

The Terracotta Division was busy outside, but this kid hadn't gone out for a few days.

What kind of demon are you doing?

Old Zhu raised his chin at Zhu Bai and asked Zhu Biao silently.

Zhu Biao shook his head with a smile.

I heard that Zhu Biao was almost splashed with paint a few days ago, but Zhu Bai didn't say it, he definitely wouldn't mention it.

It saved Lao Zhu from being angry and killing.

Lao Zhu pursed his lips: Forget it, this kid is rarely quiet.

Just pondering, Zhu Bai suddenly stood up, rolled the paper into a shaft, and ran over to Lao Zhu Yi: "Father." The retainers are going out to patrol the city. ”

Lao Zhu hurriedly waved his hand: "Go, go." ”

As long as this kid sits in front of him, even if he doesn't speak, our blood pressure is high.

It's better to let him go out for a walk.

Anyway, there haven't been any big or difficult things lately that need this kid's help with ideas.

-----

Zhu Bai came out of the palace and went straight to Liu Bowen's mansion.

The old slave of Liu's Mansion opened the door and saw that it was Zhu Bai, so he hurriedly let in: "Oh, Your Highness is here." My lord thought you weren't coming today. ”

Zhu Bai smiled and said, "This king has something important to come to Lord Liu today, where is Lord Liu?" ”

The yard was a mess, full of rubble and weeds.

Zhu Bai was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The old slave said: "A while ago, it was raining everywhere on a rainy day. The lord said that the weather is good today, and the roof should be repaired. ”

Someone suddenly came out of the roof and said, "Huh? Is Your Highness looking for a minister? ”

Only then did Zhu Bai recognize that the man with his sleeves and bandana was Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen came down the ladder and tidied up the sleeves and hem of the long shirt before saluting Zhu Bai: "Rude and rude." Weichen didn't expect His Highness to come. ”

Zhu Bai looked at the roof: "Didn't the imperial court give Lord Liu a salary, why did the master still do this by himself." ”

Liu Bowen said while washing his hands: "If you can save, you can save." ”

Zhu Bai squeezed his eyes at Liu Bowen: "Master, I have a good project that you want to listen to." ”

After speaking, he secretly spat himself in his heart: Phew, the first sentence of those who engage in fraud and pyramid schemes is this.

Liu Bowen blinked: "What project?" ”

Zhu Bai asked: "How much does your yard cost a year?" ”

Liu Bowen said: "Fifty taels of snowflake silver." ”

Zhu Bai smacked his lips and shook his head: "Tut-tut, it's too dark." Isn't this just slander? Fifty taels of silver a year, you have to pay for it yourself. ”

Liu Bowen sighed: "No way, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the price is more expensive than elsewhere." ”

Zhu Bai: "Why don't you just buy it?" ”

Liu Bowen sighed more and more: "Don't look at these four or five tiled houses, if you want to buy them, you will need more than four hundred taels of silver." Wechen has to save for several years without eating or drinking...... There is really no money to spare. ”

The key is that when he is old, he still has to return to his hometown. There is no need to buy a house.

Zhu Bai took out the piece of paper he brought and spread it out, and said, "Look at me, I can solve your housing problem." Don't I have a hundred and one acres of land? Recently I am planning to buy some more and then build a house on it. Lease to you a good official who has difficulties in life. The rent is calculated according to the area, which is definitely cheaper than renting this yard. ”

Liu Bowen was stunned for a moment, and took the paper in Zhu Bai's hand: I don't understand. I drew a few boxes, big frames and small frames. On the side is written "Plane".

Then a few twisted things, as if they were painting a house, with "façade" written on the side.

Liu Bowen pursed his lips secretly: You have to teach this kid to draw and shoes well. Otherwise, if he goes out and says that he is my student in the future, won't he be the one who will lose me?

Zhu Bai said, "Look, you only have four rooms here. I have an apartment, five rooms, a kitchen and everything. I only need you twenty taels of silver a year, and it includes maintenance. If you rent for a long time, I can also give you a discount on our teacher-student friendship. ”

Liu Bowen raised his eyebrows: "Is there such a good thing?" Aren't you losing money? ”

Zhu Bai said with a fluttering eyebrow: "No." It's better than growing food. Besides, if I build a three-story building, the land is ready-made, and the cost is definitely lower than that of a small courtyard. When the time comes, you will move in, and I will hire a few carriages to transport you to and from the court for free. You can also save a sum of money to rent or buy a sedan chair. ”

Liu Bowen twisted his beard: "Sounds really good." ”

Zhu Bai grinned: "You also think it's good?" ”

Liu Bowen nodded: "There is only one problem." ”

Zhu Bai: "What? Master, please speak. ”

Liu Bowen: "Does the emperor know?" ”

Zhu Bai put the drawings away: "Hey, what does it matter if my father knows it?" My land, I ask for someone. Adults are willing to rent or not. I don't force me to buy and sell, have I violated the "Da Ming Law". ”

Liu Bowen secretly sneered: Boy, you don't understand this.

In the "Da Ming Law", anyone who steals and cultivates other people's fields will be punished with less than one acre and 30 lashes. For every five acres, add one and so on. Eighty rods of sin. Wasteland minus one class.

Your sin of not growing grain to build a house on one hundred and one acres of land is enough to kill you.
