Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 13: Chapter 13: The Old House in Lantian
Li Shimin's expression changed several times, he took a deep breath, and finally said: "Do you want to exchange the official position from Jiupin Medical Zheng for a monetary reward?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Now that he had said it, Li Hao was shameless and admitted it frankly.

Li Shimin asked curiously: "Didn't I already reward you with a thousand guan?"

The corner of Li Hao's mouth twitched, he really wanted to say: "You gave too little, is this what an emperor can afford, and it doesn't feel shabby."

However, he didn't have the guts, so he could only say helplessly, "Return to Your Majesty, grass people... are more greedy for money."

All the officials present were stunned, and Li Shimin was also stunned. He had seen someone who was greedy for money, but he had never seen someone who was greedy for money so shamelessly and so upright. He suddenly felt speechless and wanted to say something, but opened and closed his mouth several times. , I didn't say a word in a daze.

Seeing this, Changsun Wuji hurried out, bowed to Li Shimin, and said, "Your Majesty, I have a proposal."

Li Shimin seemed to see a savior, and spread his hands and said, "Any suggestions for the auxiliary machine?"

Changsun Wuji said: "It's better to reward Li Hao with a house."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard the words, yes, a house, you have to have a house if you have land, and the house also needs to be bought with money, which is no different from a direct reward, and... the reward is too vulgar, it is degrading, and the house is given away How nice, the high-end atmosphere is upscale.

He turned to look at Li Hao: "Li Hao, what do you think?"

Of course Li Hao is willing. He traveled from the 21st century. In that era, three things were emphasized. Houses, cars and tickets. Houses are good things. Can he not? He hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En."

The problem was solved, Li Shimin was very happy, and announced: "Then reward Li Hao with a house in Lantian County, and the good land is also allocated in Lantian County."

"Lantian!" Li Hao was dumbfounded, "It's not Chang'an, the price difference is too far! I've been tricked!"

Before he had time to think about it, Li Shimin asked him to back down. Li Hao was so depressed that he walked out of the Tai Chi Hall dejectedly. Just after passing the stone bridge, he ran up to pick up the eunuch and asked cheerfully, "Mr. Li!" , What reward did His Majesty give you?"

Li Hao looked up at the sky with a depressed face, and sighed in a long voice: "Chang'an has a lot of tricks, I want to go back to the countryside." After saying that, he shook his hands and left without looking back, and the eunuch who received him looked confused.

Not long after Li Hao returned to the post station, the reward from the household department arrived. This time, five people came from the household department, including four small officials and one chief executive. This time he brought two carriages, each of which was full of copper coins, and the sum of the two carriages was a thousand guan.

Mr. Duzhi Wang didn't know if he had a short-circuited brain, but he habitually said when delivering the copper coins: "Please check it in person and make sure it's correct."

Unexpectedly, Li Hao actually counted copper coins in the street, which made Mr. Wang very embarrassed. Li Hao's actions immediately attracted a lot of people to watch, but he never tired of it, money, good things, there is more in the world than counting money Is it a wonderful thing, at least Li Hao hasn't discovered it yet.

Li Hao started counting one by one, and it took him a long time to count to the third count. After he finished counting one thousand counts, it was probably dark, and Mr. Wang was watching from behind, his facial muscles twitching. , He couldn't help it anymore, coughed hard, and urged: "Mr. Li, please hurry up, we will go to Lantian County to help you choose a house and measure the fields."

As soon as Li Hao heard about choosing a house, he immediately got excited. Although he couldn't get a house in Chang'an, it was still a house. Just like in the future world, if you can't afford a house in Beijing, it would be good to get a house in Tianjin.

So he speeded up and counted consistently. In fact, he knew that the Ministry of Households would never dare to withhold his bounty, because he had studied the history of the Tang Dynasty. People in the Tang Dynasty were more moral and despised all immorality He also looks down on people who are greedy for money, but he just likes money, and he likes the feeling of counting money. If you are despised, you can despise it. The real money came.

After half a stick of incense, Li Hao finally counted a thousand copper coins, and then followed Mr. Wang to Lantian County to pick a house.

According to the account books of the Ministry of Household Affairs, there are currently seven houses in Lantian County, six in the city and one in the suburbs. After introducing it again, Li Hao found sadly that the story of each house is not very good, because the owners of these houses were either ransacked by the whole family or distributed by the whole family, or the house was haunted by ghosts and no one dared to live in it. Very unlucky house.

Although Li Hao doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, he is a Chinese after all and likes good omens, but he has to pick one after all. Could it be that he went back to find Li Shimin to get a discount now? It's no wonder that Li Shimin didn't beat him to death.

Seeing that it was almost evening, and there was still land to be measured, Master Wang began to urge Li Hao again. Li Hao thought for a while, and then asked: "Master Wang, among these houses, which one is the largest?"

He decided to put aside these messy and unlucky sayings and choose the biggest house, of course the bigger the better, this is the most practical way.

Master Wang flipped through his notebook, raised his head and replied, "The house in Shanghe Village, ten miles to the east of the city, is the largest, with five courtyards, covering an area of ​​nine acres."

"Wow! Five-in-one courtyard, covering an area of ​​nine mu!" Li Hao's eyes lit up, and no matter whether he was in the countryside, he immediately made a decision, "I want this!"

The houses of rich families in ancient times were very particular. The size of the house is called "depth", which is calculated based on the number of longitudinal halls. The two sides of the hall are called wing rooms, while the horizontal courtyards are called side courtyards, which are generally used as living places for secondary family members.

Seeing that he had finally made up his mind, Master Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that it was getting late, he proposed to go to the post house to rest first, and then go to see the house tomorrow morning. Li Hao nodded in agreement, and followed him to the post house.

When he thought that he was about to own the house of Wujinyuan, Li Hao was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep all night. When he got up the next morning, he went out of the city with Mr. Wang to Shanghe Village with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.

There is a river near Shanghe Village, named Qingshui River. Because Shanghe Village is located in the upper reaches of Qingshui River, it is called Shanghe Village. Shanghe Village is quite big. After all, it is a village close to the county seat. There are more than 300 registered households, with a total of more than 820 people.

Li Hao's house is located on Yangshupo in the west of the village, which is the highest place in the whole village. There are many trees around, of various varieties, most of which are poplars. When Li Hao sees these trees, he feels kind. After all, he has stayed in the mountains for four years. In addition, in the future world, he has been living in the city since he was 14 years old, facing high-rise buildings made of reinforced concrete all day long, so he is particularly yearning for nature. The surrounding environment of this house , he was very satisfied, and he couldn't help but look forward to his house.

Soon, a group of people came to the house. The dilapidated door seemed to collapse at any moment, and the mottled courtyard wall seemed to be knocked down with a single push. Li Hao was dumbfounded when he saw it. Is this his house?Are you right?
Mr. Wang's words dispelled his doubts: "Mr. Li, this is the house you chose."

"Yesterday's election doesn't count, re-election!" Li Hao said decisively, turned his head and left.

Master Wang had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and pulled him back: "Mr. Li, don't make trouble, I'm very busy."

"Who is making trouble with you? You are the one making trouble with me!" Li Hao pointed at the dilapidated courtyard gate and shouted, "Look! Look! Does this dilapidated courtyard seem like a place for people to live in!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a "creak", the courtyard door opened, and an old man with gray beard and hair came out.

Master Wang raised his eyebrows: "Who said you can't live with people? Look, isn't this a human being?"

"Eh..." Li Hao was so embarrassed, he hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said, "There is already a master here, I will choose again!"

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave again, but was dragged back again by Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang took the notebook and said with a smile: "You are lucky. Although this house has been empty for more than [-] years, fortunately there is someone guarding it. There should be no people inside. It will be too broken, this is the man who guards the house."

The old man saw the official uniform of the king's official, heard their conversation, vaguely guessed that someone had come to take over the house, and hurried forward to salute: "Old servant Du Hong pays homage to all the officials."

Master Wang waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be formal, I would like to introduce you, this Mr. Li Hao will be the owner of this house in the future, and His Majesty has already rewarded him with this house."

Du Hong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly turned around and bowed to Li Hao Li Hao: "The old slave pays homage to the young master."

Li Hao quickly waved his hand to deny it: "I don't admit it, I want to re-elect, this house is not mine, and I didn't take the deed and title deed, this house is not..."

"Hey, why are there two extra sheets of paper in my hand?" Li Hao was shocked to find that there were two extra sheets of paper in his hand. He unfolded them and saw that the house deed, the land deed, and everything else worked together.

"Master Wang!" Li Hao roared, looking at Mr. Wang angrily.

Master Wang looked at him with a smirk on his face: "Now the house deed and the land deed are in your hands, and you can't hold them back."

Li Hao suddenly had a feeling that he had nothing to love. He was too cheated. He was cheated from Taiji Temple to Shanghe Village.

"Master, why are you crying?" Du Hong was surprised to find that Li Hao was standing there with tears streaming down his face.

"It's okay, I drank too much water this morning."

Du Hong: ...

With the house deed and land deed in hand, Li Hao could no longer refuse this dilapidated yard, so he could only follow them in to observe it. Seeing the blue sky and white clouds, it is like a skylight with no blind spots. Well, summer should be very ventilated and cool, and you can enjoy the moon while sleeping. It is very, very beautiful.

Li Hao was already in despair. He secretly decided that if he wanted to live in, he would rebuild the place first. It doesn’t matter if the house is too bad. We can rebuild it. We can build a mixed modern and ancient style to ensure that the Tang Dynasty is the only one here. However... …and that costs a lot of money.

After seeing the house, it was almost noon. People in the Tang Dynasty did not have the habit of eating lunch, but Li Hao kept a good habit of eating three meals a day in the mountains. I ordered two of the self-contained mustaches, and my stomach was full.

After he finished eating, Master Wang came to him to measure the field. Li Hao didn't know anything about fields. Fortunately, Du Hong was a veteran in this field. Not far, just Sanli Duolu.

With Tian Qi in hand, Master Wang finally completed the task and said goodbye to Li Hao happily. Li Hao stared at him with dead fish eyes, watched him leave, and kept cursing at his back: "I was hit by a car when I went out, and I was hit by a car when I went out... "
