Chapter 25
Of course Li Yewu didn't know that during this period of time, Meihua Village was fighting among themselves because of Long Er's death, so they had no time to control her.
Long Jiu secretly sent a letter to Long Er, "Go to Cuiwei Mountain to hunt for goods from the Prince's Mansion." After receiving the secret letter, Long Er immediately took people to set off to take advantage of the fisherman.
However, no one knows what happened that night.
They only know that Cuiwei Mountain collapsed, and Long Er and his party all survived.
But the people from Shang Wang's mansion came back with a hundred sheep.
Cuiwei Mountain is not the place with the most cattle and sheep!It can be seen that Long Jiu's news is not accurate!
Let's talk about conspiracy theories again, who knows if Long Jiu intentionally released fake news?
However, when he wanted to confront Long Jiu, he unexpectedly discovered that he was no longer in Shang Wang's Mansion, and no one knew where he had gone.
Therefore, Meihuazhai is trying its best to find Long Jiu, and has no time to deal with Li Yewu.
This also happened to be convenient for Li Yewu to do research.
The huge Taihe City is just like the four big families said, the first [-] mu of land on the outskirts of the city, except for the four big families, the rest are basically deserted.
Coincidentally, all the abandoned fields belonged to Xiao Jiuxi.
However, Xiao Jiuxi sold these private properties a long time ago, and exchanged money to subsidize the common people.
It is the four big families who bought these fields.
Originally, the four major families thought they had made a fortune. Landlords, the more land the better.
Who knows, and because Xiao Jiuxi's benefits are so good, many people would rather go to the slums than work.
So the four major families own these land deeds, but they don't have enough labor to farm, so that these lands can only be left unused, and even their own fields are being abandoned year by year...
All in all, it's a vicious circle.
They are one of the few victims of Xiao Jiuxi's high welfare policy.
After all, they are not eligible to receive welfare if they are not in the slums. Without welfare, they have to lose their labor force. How wronged!
Although Xiao Jiuxi bought things from them every year, it was all empty checks, without a tael of actual money in the account, and he also tricked them into buying fields with money.
However, he bears the title of the king of wine, what can you do?Even if you want to rebel, you can only curse secretly.
Through these days of investigation, Li Yewu also discovered that the biggest problem of Xiao Jiuxi's city and his biggest burden are the people in this group of refugee slums.
Taihe City has a population of 120 million.Among them, as many as 80 live in slums.
This is a very scary number.
It is equivalent to that almost all the labor force in Taihe City has left the cultivated land.
They were all supported by Xiao Jiuxi alone.
How much rice do 80 people eat every day?How much will it cost?
It's no wonder that Xiao Jiuxi became a property owner in just five years.
However, Taihe City does not produce its own grain, and it is not a solution to buy it from outside.
In an agricultural society, it is impossible for people to survive without farming and without production.
All in all, Li Yewu has made a plan. After paying off the debt, he will buy back all the land sold by Xiao Jiuxi, and then find a way to bring the labor force from the slums back to the fields.
There are still ten days left before the thirty-day agreement.
However, the four major families received an invitation letter from the princess, asking them to come to the house to attend the dinner.
The patriarchs of the four major families were all shocked.
For them, this is not a reminiscence game, but a Hongmen banquet!
After all, they didn't look very good when they came to collect the debt, and they also showed the princess the problem of the IOU.
For this reason, the four major families met in secret and held a secret meeting to discuss how to deal with it.
After all, the concubine was right. They sold things to Xiao Jiuxi to drive up the prices, and because Xiao Jiuxi didn't find out, they became more and more presumptuous. The price of the IOUs became more and more outrageous.
Of course, the main thing was mixed with resentment, who let Xiao Jiuxi take away all their tenants in a disguised form!
But how happy it was at the beginning is how painful it is now!It is a huge amount of work to overthrow and redo the accounts of five years. At this time, the accountants are still working overtime to settle the accounts.
For the first time, they had the idea of hoping that the princess would delay repaying the debt.
One month is really not enough!
However, whatever she was afraid of, the princess still invited her in advance! ! !
Everyone was a little speechless, but the invitation letter came down, and they had to go.
In this way, the four major families came to Shang Wang's Mansion again with the plan of mortal death.
Compared with the previous time's aggressive and high-spirited energy, this time the four big families obviously have less confidence.
Li Yewu smiled and said nothing, and generously invited them to sit down.
The living room is still the empty living room with the bare walls.
The princess is still a beautiful and calm princess.
But the ledger...is no longer the original ledger.
Therefore, the state of mind of the Patriarchs of the four major families is completely different from the previous one.
"I invite everyone to come here today, because I want to know how the four masters have checked their account books?"
"Uh... still... still checking."
Patriarch Sifang, as the head of the four major families, was promoted to be the representative of the speech. He wiped his cold sweat and answered with a forced smile.
Li Yewu was a little dissatisfied: "Your speed is really slow."
Everyone stared at each other without speaking.
"Of course, the invitation to come here today is not just for the bill. The prince said that he sold the land in his hand to you a few years ago..."
The four masters heard the alarm bells in their hearts and hurriedly said: "It is true, but... there is no problem with the accounts of Tiandiconscience buying and selling fields. The price is set by the prince, and we pay the money directly."
Back then, Xiao Jiuxi sold all the 24 mu of land in his hands at a price cheaper than the market price, and the total price was [-] silver.However, buying and selling land is a matter of one willing to fight and one willing to suffer.They didn't force Xiao Jiuxi to sell the land.
If the little lady wants to overturn the price increase now, they will definitely not agree.
Li Yewu smiled: "Everyone misunderstood, I don't want to overturn the agreement back then, but want to buy back these fertile land."
"Bought it back?" Everyone was taken aback: "You...you..."
Are you rich? A few words, after all, I am not ashamed to speak.
Li Yewu said calmly: "To tell you the truth, my lord has made a lot of money doing business in Jingshi Xueren these days. With the help of someone from the palace, my lord sent the money back. He told me that I must take back the land that I sold back then. return.
Everyone also understands that the prince sold the land back then as a last resort. However, these fields were rewarded by His Majesty after all, and it is not good to fall into other people's hands after all. Moreover, the [-] mu of land has been idle up to now, and it will not produce benefits anyway. It has been realized again, what do you think? "
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay for a while, not understanding what kind of medicine Li Yewu sold in the gourd.
But when it comes to selling fertile land, to be honest, they are quite happy.After all, even if Arita had no labor force, it was useless, and they were worried that they would foolishly take over Xiao Jiuxi's hot potato.
Before the Sifang Patriarchs could speak, the Liu Patriarch, who was at the end of the four major families, spoke.
"Wangfei plans to...how much to buy?"
