Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Chapter 28 My mine is not cheap!
Zhu Gaoxu and Li Xiao walked towards the outside of the mansion.

On the way, a voice came from Li Xiao's ear.

【Ding!Zhu Ningyun's favorability towards you is +1, and the current favorability degree is 75. 】

"Haha. Ningyun is watching me silently in Yong'an Pavilion."

"The favorability level has reached 75, and this has reached the budding stage of a relationship between a man and a woman."

"However. It seems that this favorability level seems to be getting harder and harder to increase."

Li Xiao's face showed joy.

He was thinking about how to increase his favorability to 99 and receive a big gift package.

No, I can't have such a strong sense of utilitarianism.

Love is something that cannot be pondered or calculated.

Love is a mutual wish, emotional nostalgia
As long as I really treat her well, why bother with this momentary matter?
Li Xiao quickly straightened his posture in his heart.

"Brother-in-law, why are you so happy?"

At this time, the servants in the mansion led two horses and came out.

"what?"

Li Xiao came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "I'm thinking about the salt mine. Once this matter is settled, our Prince Yan's Mansion will definitely be able to rise to another level."

Speaking is an art.

Li Xiao referred to Yanwangfu as our Yanwangfu.

Zhu Gaoxu felt very comfortable in his ears, just like his own family.

"Hey, brother-in-law, it all depends on you."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaoxu said worriedly: "But the salt mine is full of poisonous salt, otherwise the imperial court would have taken the salt mine away long ago, and it would be the squire's turn there."

"Whether it is poisonous or not, we will know when we make the salt."

Li Xiao said confidently.

Zhu Gaoxu led another horse out and said: "Brother-in-law, I will ride this horse for you. Let's hurry up and get there today, and we will settle the matter."

This is a fine horse, with shiny black hair and bright eyes!
"horse riding."

Li Xiao was stunned: "I don't know how to do it."

In my previous life, I went to the racecourse to ride a horse, but I just led it around twice.

"It's very simple, just ride on it"

"Let me try."

In front of the gate of King Yan's Mansion, there is a horse-mounting stone, but Li Xiao stepped on the saddle pedal and got on the horse with a light jump.

After all, his strength and agility are high now.

After getting on the horse, Li Xiao asked, "How can I let it go?"

Zhu Gaoxu said patiently: "Hand the horse's stomach with both feet, wave the horse rope."

"Let me try."

Li Xiao clamped his legs, and the horse really started to walk.

"How to speed up?"

Li Xiao asked again.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled badly.

He took the whip and whipped the horse's buttocks, and the horse ran suddenly.

Fortunately, Li Xiao was agile and strong, so he was not thrown out all at once.

The whipped horse ran fast, Li Xiao felt that the world was going backwards, and the wind whistled in his ears.

"drive!"

Zhu Gaoxu laughed, rode to the front, and said with a big laugh: "Brother-in-law, follow me, it will be over soon!"

"Well, Zhu Gaoxu, you are trying to kill me! Damn, aren't you afraid of your sister being a widow?"

Li Xiao was speechless.

I can only try to control the direction of the horse with the rope, and follow Zhu Gaoxu's horse.

Zhu Gaoxu's approach.

Undoubtedly, he kicked a person who couldn't swim into the river with one kick and made him flop.

This has two consequences.

One is to learn to swim very quickly.

The other is to drink two sips of water and sink to the bottom
The reason why Zhu Gaoxu did this was because he felt that his brother-in-law was simply a genius.

Since he can practice archery so well in a few days, is it easy to ride a horse?
Definitely the first one.

really.

Li Xiao was afraid of being thrown out, so he grabbed the rein tightly, trying to control the direction.

"Let's let one let, let one let!"

Li Xiao yelled at passers-by while riding his horse.

People on the side of the road dodged one after another, and were about to yell at Zhu Gaoxu, they all shut up when they saw Zhu Gaoxu in front of him.

In Beiping City, who would dare to provoke the son of Yan Wang Zhu Di?
"Hey, I don't think riding a horse is that difficult."

Li Xiao quickly mastered the essentials of riding a horse. It can't be said to be very good, but at least he can control the direction and he will not be thrown off.

Of course, this is also thanks to his physique and reaction speed beyond ordinary people, so that he can adapt so quickly.

"Brother-in-law, you are indeed a genius, you can learn to ride a horse so quickly."

Zhu Gaoxu's horsemanship is very good, he easily controlled the horse to slow down, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Li Xiao.

"Without this ability, can I be your brother-in-law?"

Li Xiao also accepted the praise of Tianzong Wizard with peace of mind.

It's good to be regarded as such, because I will definitely have more skills in the future.

It's normal for a genius to learn quickly.

"Brother-in-law, if you want to keep up with me, you have to practice hard."

Zhu Gaoxu laughed, he liked Li Xiao's character very much.

That's it.

The two rode horses and galloped all the way.

There is no need to check when you leave the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the city, if they are far away, get out of the way and let them go directly.

Nonsense, can Zhu Gaoxu, the second son of Prince Yan, stop him? ?

until noon.

The two came to Dadongzhuang.

The village is quite large, with farmland everywhere.

Then, not far to the southeast, Li Xiao saw two big salt mountains.

The whole mountain is somewhat similar to a snow-capped mountain, showing white, and the whole mountain is bare without vegetation. After all, it is a saline-alkali land, and no plants can grow.

Most of these salt mines were formed after seawater or lakes dried up in ancient times.

"That's right, that's the salt mine, let's buy him!"

Li Xiao's eyes brightened.

The two entered Zhuangzi, and soon found a big family. The mansion was very large, with hundreds of rooms, covering an area of ​​nearly [-] mu.

The so-called big family, that is, the country gentry class.

The gentry class is a unique class in feudal society.

It is mainly composed of a group of influential figures in rural society, such as imperial examinations and unofficials or fallen scholars, local small and medium-sized landlords who are more educated, small and medium-sized officials who have retired or returned to their hometowns or have been living in the countryside for a long time to recuperate, and clan elders.

They are similar to officials but different from officials, similar to people but above them.

Very powerful in the local area.

As the saying goes, the imperial power does not go to the countryside, and the orders of the central government stop when they reach the county government.

Further down, there is no court institution.

If the county government wants to collect taxes normally every year, it must rely on the cooperation of these gentry.

The two explained their intentions, and soon entered the Zhang family compound, where they met the head of the Zhang family.

An old man, about sixty years old, named Zhang Maojin.

"You want to buy a mine?"

Zhang Maojin greeted the two with a smile while holding his cane.

Looking at their clothes, he knew that they were not ordinary people, they must be the children of a rich family.

This mine is indeed an industry handed down from the ancestors.

Although the ancestral property cannot be sold at will, the salt mine is useless, and it would be good if it could be sold for a price.

Li Xiao laughed. "Mr. Zhang, yes, we are planning to buy the salt mine in your hands."

Zhang Maojin was a little surprised, and asked: "I don't know you two, what is the use of buying this salt mine?"

Li Xiao answered truthfully, "Salt is manufactured and sold."

Hearing this, Zhang Maojin laughed.

I really don't know what is good or bad, this salt mine is used to make salt, isn't that murder for money?
It seems that the heads of these two rich kids are not very bright either.
This mine is useless anyway, it's just a pile of poisonous stones, so it's better to sell it.

However, this old man is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he said with a smile:
"My mine is not cheap."

Li Xiao cut to the chase: "How much silver can you sell?"

Zhang Maojin said: "Are you going to buy it for two dollars?"

Li Xiao thought for a while and stretched out five fingers.

500 taels, buy two mines, should be enough, right?

Zhang Maojin's psychological price is 20 taels, upon hearing this, he immediately said: "50 taels, deal!"

Li Xiao: "????"
