Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 151 Patriarch
When Lu Quan came out, the underwear on the back of the spine was once again wet with sweat.

He has lived for more than 30 years in his life, and the biggest catastrophe was a flood, leaving only him, his wife and children in his family.

Then this year, he picked up Lu Yange and came back.

The ups and downs of the past six months, he thought, he probably would never forget it until he died.

He expected that if he bought Dayun Mountain, the clan would not reject it, but it was just a dilapidated mountain that could neither produce food nor open mines.
But he didn't expect that things went smoothly beyond his expectation.

Lu Quan found Lu Yuanping and first mentioned that he wanted to move to Lujiazhuang in Dongyang County to buy land and build a house. Sure enough, Lu Yuanping was unwilling.

Lujiazhuang is close to Dongyang County, and the descendants of the family are prosperous, so there are few fields and even less homesteads.

If Lu Quan went to a side branch of Hexi all by himself, he could go to Lujiazhuang to buy a piece of land to build a house casually, and those families in that clan who lacked land to build a house would have to make a fuss with him, the patriarch, to death.

The biggest Zhuangzi in the clan is Lujiazhuang, which is next to Lujia Manor.

But back then, when people mentioned Lujiazhuang, they all referred to Lujiazhuang, but ignored the real Lujiazhuang in the village behind Lujiazhuang.

Among the hundred and ten families in Lujiazhuang, only a dozen of them are not surnamed Lu.

It is even more difficult for Lu Quan to enter this Lujiazhuang.

However, Lu Yuanping gave him a suggestion because Lu Quan was a member of the Lu clan.

Four or five miles away from Lujiazhuang, there is a village called Jizhuang near the foot of Dayun Mountain. There are only a dozen households in Jizhuang, and the Lu family occupies five households. If Lu Quan goes to Jizhuang to buy land and build a house, Lu Yuanping said, It might work.

Lu Quan shook his head, he will not go to Jizhuang.

Although it is said that there are Lu family members in Jizhuang, Lu Quan also knows that they can hardly be regarded as real Lu family members, but the refugees who came to Dongyang County at the beginning. Among them, there is a family named Lu. The Lu family in Dongyang County was recognized as the sect.

Lu Yuanshan's grandfather arranged for this family to build a house in a place not far from Lujiazhuang, and together with them there were several families with the same surname as the Lu family.This family has children and grandchildren here, and grandchildren have children, and gradually formed a small Zhuangzi, which is now Jizhuang.

Although Lu Quan is a side branch of the Lu family, he is still different from these half-recognized sectarians. Of course, he is not willing to let him live with these half-recognized sectarians.

Lu Yuanping asked: "Then what do you think, Lujiazhuang really has no way to build a house for you on the allocated land."

Lu Quan rubbed his hands a little uneasily, squeaked for a long time, and then asked cautiously: "Brother Yuanping, can you sell this Dayun Mountain to me? Then I will find someone to look at it on this mountain The place will build a house for my two sons, so it's not far from Lujiazhuang, isn't it?"

The clan is busy today, when Lu Quan found Lu Yuanping, Lu Yuanping was a little impatient.

Fortunately, he has always been benevolent and righteous, which is one of the reasons why he can be the patriarch.Lu Quan is also a member of the Hexi tribe, if he waits too long, it will be somewhat embarrassing.

It's just a few words, and Lu Yuanping can still spare this time.

Lu Yuanping did not expect that these few words left him completely speechless for a long time in shock.

Buy a hill?
Buy Dayunshan?

Just to move to Dongyang County so that my son can study in the Lu family and grow up with the children of the family?
Lu Yuanping felt that this Lu Quan was either a waste of money or a bad brain.

If you have money, you can buy a house or shop anywhere and you can be a master, so why move to the clan and be controlled by others.

Today's Lu family is not the Lu family back then.

Back then, the Lu family had accumulated money, land and food in their direct branches for several generations. Even if the clansmen who defected could not be blessed by the clan to get promoted and get rich, at least they could keep the whole family from starving to death.

Now that he is the patriarch, life is getting more and more difficult.Without the blessing of the direct branch, many things in the clan would be difficult to satisfy.After Lu Yuanshan's death, the clan only had two or three hundred acres of sacrificed land, and most of them were dry land, with less than one hundred acres of good land that could grow rice and wheat.

As the patriarch of the Lu family, Lu Yuanping does not have gold and silver mountains to supplement his clan at any time, so he naturally does not have the prestige of Lu Yuanshan.

This time, the family rebuilt the ancestral hall in the garden of Lu Yuanshan's house. He took the lead in donating 20 taels of silver. Some people said that he, the patriarch, did not care for the people like Lu Yuanshan. He only donated 20 taels of silver to rebuild the ancestral hall. The tribe contributes money, and at most contributes energy.

Comparing him with Lu Yuanshan, this is the most unacceptable thing for Lu Yuanping.

When he came out of his mother's womb, it was doomed that no matter how powerful he was, he would never be able to compare with Lu Yuanshan. What could he do?
20. He felt distressed when he took the taels, and said that Lu Yuanshan didn't need money from his clan at all. What could he compare with Lu Yuanshan?

Fortunately, most of the people in the clan are still reasonable, and they also know that Lu Yuanping has no money, only the land left by his great-grandfather, which is now allocated to him, only twenty or thirty acres.

He can take out 20 taels of silver, which is already considered as the utmost benevolence.

Unexpectedly, now, just an ordinary clansman who went to Hexi in coarse linen clothes, dared to say in front of him that he wanted to buy a mountain top.

"Are you sure you mean to buy a mountain?"

Seeing Lu Quan nodding his head, Lu Yuanping wished to spread his hands to see if this fellow named Lu Quan was in a state of confusion, "What are you buying a mountain for? Even the trees grow sparsely on the mountain, and the mountain is full of stones, let alone planting land"

Lu Quan smiled honestly: "How can you not even plant land, just forget about the places with stones, but you can open up wasteland to grow peanuts and corn in places without stones."

Lu Yuanping felt a headache even more, and a fool would spend hundreds of taels of silver to buy a mountain to grow peanuts and corn.

No, even a fool wouldn't do that.

Trying to calm down his emotions, Lu Yuanping asked in a hoarse voice: "How much money have you prepared?"

Lu Quan, who was originally honest, immediately squeezed his wallet tightly: "No... I didn't prepare much."

Seeing his defensive appearance, Lu Yuanping even had a dull pain in his teeth.

Lu Yuanping took a deep breath: "It is said that the two mountains of Dayun Mountain and Xiaoyun Mountain were bought by Lu Yuanshan for 400 taels of silver. I know. In fact, in my opinion, adding these two hills together for 100 taels of silver is not worth it."

He really thought so, so he said so.

It cost a few hundred taels, just to stay here to grow weeds, and only Lu Yuanshan, who has too much money and nowhere to spend, can do this.

Lu Quan nodded desperately: "100 taels of silver can buy seven or eight acres of good land."

Lu Yuanping was about to be overjoyed by Lu Quan, thinking to himself, so you know, you are not stupid.

Lu Yuanping said earnestly: "If you really have money, go find some good land and buy it. It's better than buying this barren mountain and long grass."

Hearing this, Lu Quan immediately shook his head: "No, I'm going to buy a hill and build a big yard for my family."

This is what he promised Xiao Si, and he must do it for him.
