Chapter 2: The Loving Father
"Iniquity!" In the mansion of the Marquis of Wuling, Li Zhufeng's howl shook Wally.
"Changfeng, you tell your dad honestly, what trouble did you cause, dad... Daddy doesn't blame you. ”
"These are all ancestral belongings, they can't be sold, they have to be recovered."
Seeing this, Li Changkong knew that the matter had come to this point, and he was afraid that he would not be able to hide, so he could only say truthfully: "It's not much, I just spent some silver and bought a piece of land." ”
When Li Zhufeng heard this, he suddenly eased up.
It's good to buy land! Isn't the most valuable thing in these years the land?
It doesn't matter how much money you spend, as long as you buy land, you can't afford to lose money.
"How much money was spent, how much land was bought?"
"More than 50,000 taels of silver."
"Five...... More than 50,000 taels! Li Zhufeng's voice suddenly became louder, and the sound shook the rubble: "Where did you get so much silver at home?" ”
"I also found money and borrowed 20,000 taels."
Li Zhufeng's face was a little ugly, and he could only continue to comfort himself in his heart.
It's just to buy land, even if you spend more money, what can you do?
Can the land depreciate in this year? It's nothing more than buying less and suffering some losses.
Fifty thousand taels of silver sounds scary, but in fact, the loss is not that big.
"How many acres did you buy?"
"More than 3,000 acres!"
Rumble!
When Li Zhufeng heard this, he felt an indescribable joy spread out from the bottom of his heart and spread throughout his chest.
Even the body is a lot lighter.
More than 3,000 acres of land! Fifty thousand taels of silver, this transaction is not a loss!
Not only is there no loss, but there is even a small surplus.
Good fellow, am I still a genius in business?
"Good! Well done! It's your father who blames you, 50,000 taels of silver can buy more than 3,000 acres of land, it's your ability. ”
"Where is this place, take my father to see it another day."
"Nishiyama ......"
As soon as the word Xishan came out, the joy on Li Zhufeng's face disappeared, replaced by horror.
His voice trembled and he said, "Son, you're not wrong, are you?" ”
"That's right, it's Xishan."
The horror on Li Zhufeng's face turned to despair.
It is true that there are more than 3,000 acres of land in Xishan, but it is a barren mountain, and more than 3,000 acres are all wasteland.
Overgrown with weeds and thorns, it is impossible to grow food at all.
This kind of land without food, no matter how much he has, it is a wasteland!
All the belongings, plus 20,000 taels of silver in foreign debts, were only exchanged for 3,000 acres of wasteland.
Li Zhufeng only felt that his chest hurt badly, his face suddenly lost blood, his breath was weak and short, and he fainted so straight.
"Daddy!"
"Master Hou!"
In the mansion of the Marquis of Wuling, accompanied by Li Zhufeng's fainting, there was another burst of chickens and dogs.
……
Li Zhufeng woke up again, and it was already noon the next day.
As soon as the doctor left, he said that he was angry and hurt his heart and lungs, so he prescribed a prescription to recuperate for a while, but it was not a big problem.
Li Zhufeng looked at the ebony bed under his buttocks, and a trace of happiness swelled up in his heart for no reason.
Fortunately, this bed is still there, otherwise sleeping would be a problem.
Looking at the son who was guarding the bedside and had a seven-point resemblance to his deceased wife, even if Li Zhufeng had a great anger in his heart, he had nowhere to spread at this moment.
I could only sigh and say, "Changfeng, when your mother left, I told me to take care of you." ”
"Dad also knows that over the years, the Hou Mansion has been down, and Dad has stayed in the army all the year round, lacking discipline for you, and he has not accompanied you much, and you have a grudge against Dad in your heart."
"It's all your father's fault that you're like this. You didn't have a mother when you were a child, and your health was not good, and when you were a child, you almost died because of a brain disease. ”
"It's my dad who can't discipline me, I'm sorry for you."
"If you do such a thing, Dad doesn't blame you, Dad just feels that he is ashamed of his ancestors."
As he spoke, tears flowed down the face of the iron-beaten man.
"Don't worry about this 50,000 taels of silver, Dad will find a way."
"That old boy in Ducheng Bo is a son of man in vain, and he even lied to a man with brain disease like you."
"Bullying Lao Tzu, I really can't do it when the Marquis of Wuling Mansion is completely down!"
Seeing Li Zhufeng, whose eyes were a little red, Li Changkong was also a little uneasy.
Although he didn't do this, the cause and effect were on him after all, and he had to be responsible.
"Dad, those 3,000 acres of wasteland can't be all wasteland."
"I'll take a look tomorrow, and maybe I'll be able to reclaim some useful land."
When Li Zhufeng heard this, he smiled bitterly.
The 3,000 acres of land in the West Mountain is the boundary of the land that people hate and hate.
When the saint gave this land to the capital city, the old boy cried for his father and called his mother, and he made trouble for more than half a year, and finally the saint made compensation, so he was born.
If the land of the West Mountains can really be planted, how can Du Chengbo be like this? That's a sin of deceit!
"If my son has this heart, it is already wonderful. It's okay to check it out, but don't get your hopes up. ”
"Tomorrow, I will take a trip to the capital city with a knife for my father, and exchange the silver for the land deed. It's all noble, forgive him and he won't be too ugly, it's great to let him earn a few thousand taels of silver. ”
said so, but Du Chengbo, an iron rooster who regards money as his life, whether Dad's method is effective or not, Li Changkong really doesn't know.
However, he couldn't bear to hit Li Zhufeng again, so he responded directly and tried his best to be well-behaved.
……
Early the next morning.
The father and son parted in front of the Wuling Marquis's Mansion, Li Zhufeng carried a knife, wore armor, was full of evil spirits, took Steward Yang, and went straight to the capital Bofu.
Li Changkong took Zhen Jian to Xishan.
The land in Xishan is indeed not good, and this is recognized by the whole Qian.
Mainly because the land is so barren that it can only feed some weeds and thorns.
If you want to farm, I am afraid that you will have to reclaim the land, or even fertilize it.
More than 3,000 acres of wasteland can be reclaimed. How can their old Li family still have so much spare money?
Soon, in Li Changkong's apprehension, Xishan arrived.
At first glance, it is indeed very barren, full of thorns and weeds.
"Young master, I've seen it all, why don't we go back first?"
Zhen Jian felt that with the young master's daughter, he would definitely not enter this thorny place.
Who would have thought about it, but Li Changkong said: "It's all here, of course you have to go in and take a closer look!" ”
Yes! Get in? Take a closer look!
Zhen Jian felt a little magical.
However, Li Changkong didn't care about him, directly broke off a branch on the side of the road, held it to pick up thorns and weeds, and stepped into the mountains.
Walking and walking, gradually entering the hinterland of Xishan, Li Changkong's expression changed slightly, and he began to rejoice.
He crouched down next to a seemingly unremarkable weed and looked closely.
After half a ring, he stood up, looked excited, and said, "It's done!" ”
"The foreign debt of 20,000 taels of silver has been settled."
When Zhen Jian heard this, he almost didn't think that his young master had lost his mind.
What is the foreign debt of 20,000 taels of silver, just by virtue of this weed?
What weed is worth 20,000 taels of silver? Is that still a weed? Even gold leaves can't do it.
Counting on this, it is better to expect the old man to carry a knife and coerce the capital to surrender and return the 50,000 taels of silver.
