Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 106 Want to buy some Zhuangzi

Seeing Zhang Jinyu eating so happily, Wang showed a doting smile.

Mrs. Wang said softly again,
"Nothing. Let's eat."

Zhang Jinyu didn't care, and just started eating and drinking there, not to mention that the further south he went, the more fancy things he ate.

All kinds of dishes have also increased, this place can still eat melons and fruits, it is simply a treasure land, Fuling, no way, find a way to get some Dazhuangzi to grow vegetables for consumption in his mansion.

"Mother, I forgot to tell you that the big courtyard and Chunfeng Building here were given to me by my elder brother who just sworn in yesterday. This is the title deed."

Zhang Jinyu wiped her greasy hands, pulled out the title deed from her arms, and handed it over. Mrs. Wang took it over to look at it, and then gave the title deed to Lan Yueer.

"Is Yue'er in charge of the farm and the restaurant chamber of commerce, or is it arranged by her."

"Naturally, no problem. Will mother take a day off today and go on the road tomorrow?"

Zhang Jinyu tried to mention the itinerary, wanting to see what her mother thought,
"Why, I've fallen in love with this place, and I don't want to leave."

Mrs. Wang rarely teased, and the second daughter also pursed her lips and smiled when she heard the words.

"Oh, I'm not worried about you. Besides, I want to build some Zhuangzi here. Now that it's the season, the place is warm like spring and there are vegetables and fruits. I want to buy some big Zhuangzi to supply the consumption of the Houfu."

Mrs. Wang nodded after hearing this, she really didn't expect this, the terrain of this place is special, it can be said to be a rare treasure, and the name Fuling is apt.

"Well, then buy some, buy a few more Zhuangzi, don't be stingy, and besides, you have so many of your men staying in the capital for the New Year, so you can use a lot of food during the garrison."

Zhang Jinyu was a little puzzled, the former was easy to say, but the latter said it seemed that the Beijing camp in the capital did not include food and lodging.

"Mother, what does this mean? I remember that the Beijing camp includes food and lodging."

"Food and lodging are included, but there is a rule that guest soldiers only include food and lodging. What they eat is food and there are no more dishes. They live in marching tents they bring."

Zhang Jinyu was also stunned for a moment, but he didn't think about it and said this, but after thinking about it for a while, it's good to have food included, and it's a dream if he wants to eat well, if he doesn't, he won't pay an extra penny.

"I thought the food was not bad. Yesterday, Ningbian came to report that in the camp of Fuling County, the brothers lived in a big house in Datongpu. The food was not bad, and there were meat, vegetables and fruits. I thought At least Beijing is better than Fuling."

Mrs. Wang pursed her lips, shook her head and said,
"How is it possible? It's the first time you've come to Fuling County. They don't have good wine and good food to entertain you. Besides, Fuling may not be rich in the capital. The rivers here are very prosperous, and there are a lot of Zhuangzi who are very rich. "

"Mom, I see. I'm going to buy some Zhuangzi now. I'm of great use here."

Zhang Jinyu was so itchy that she didn't eat anymore, and she directly retreated to the front yard, which had already been cleaned by the guards.

Zhang Jinyu found Wei Yong, the chief guard, and told him to go directly to the Yamen Bank to find an old local snake, and told him that he wanted to buy some land property.

Wei Yong received the order and directly brought a few guards and went to the yamen guarantor. Zhang Jinyu was not worried either. Her current status was destined to eat meat. Every city had such a fixed job. It's like Blue Star's intermediary, but it's much better than the intermediary.

Wei Yong was upright, went directly to the yamen, and looked for the little official who was in charge of this area. The little official was so frightened that he wanted to report it to the sheriff's office immediately, but Wei Yong stopped him and explained his purpose. The little official breathed a sigh of relief. Who doesn't know that the visitor, Lord Hou, is the sworn brother of the sheriff.

The little official went to the chief bookkeeper in charge to report the matter, and the chief bookkeeper followed up with the booklet when he knew the matter, and was going to explain the situation of the fields and villages in Fuling County in person.

Wei Yong waited for the master to get the good things and rushed back to the other courtyard. Zhang Jinyu was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea at this time. The weather here was about ten degrees Celsius. When it was most comfortable, of course it might only be a few degrees on the other side of the mountain. temperature up.

Seeing Wei Yong coming back, he put down his teacup,
"Is anyone here?"

"Back to Lord Hou, the head of the yamen has come in person."

Zhang Jinyu smiled when she heard it, she was quite upright, it should be said that Shen Xueshi was in control, so she asked directly,
"Oh, I see, what kind of master book is that, and which other better farms in Fulling County are for sale."

The Master Registrar also answered cautiously,
"See Hou Ye, the small one is in charge of buying and selling in the Yamen, and it is clear which Zhuangzi in the city is for sale, but there are not many real Zhuangzi in Fuling County, and the owners are all dignitaries in the capital. For personal use, so the rest is limited."

Of course Zhang Jinyu knew that there must be someone who had the same idea as him in this treasure land, but he didn't expect that there were so many of them.

"Tell me what other villages you want to sell, preferably those near the canal. I want to buy more."

The master bookkeeper stood there but wiped his sweat, opened the account book and looked at it, and after a while, the sweat came out again, which is really nothing.

"How did you make it so troublesome?"

Hearing Zhang Jinyu's impatient voice, the director knelt down in fright, and said in a crying voice,
"Master Hou, it's not that I don't sell them, it's that there are almost no good Zhuangzi, and there is no one near the canal. All of them have been bought up by various families, and the rest are small Zhuangzi leftovers for small landlord families."

Zhang Jinyu opened his eyes and said in a cold voice,

"Do you dare to play tricks on me?"

The master knelt there and kowtowed for mercy,

"Don't dare, Master Hou, how dare you be a little kid."

"Then you have to think about it before you talk about it. Is there any farm for sale?"

The master was wiping his sweat crazily, thinking about it carefully, and suddenly thought of the large Zhuangzi in the south of the city. Although it was sold, the other party didn’t pay for it.
"Master Hou, there is really a treasure land. It is a large area in the south of the city with five big villages connected together. There is also a village directly attached to the west bank of the canal, which can be directly irrigated with water."

"Oh, that's fine, how much is the price?"

"This, this, Lord Hou has something else hidden in him, and Lord Hou still needs to make up his mind."

Hearing this, Zhang Jinyu also became interested. There is still something hidden about buying a Zhuangzi, and he really knows how to play in the officialdom.

"Master Hou has sold these five villages, but the other party has not settled the bill for more than a year after buying them. When I went to ask for it, the housekeeper told me to wait for the harvest and sell the silver before slowly giving them back. There is no land deed, and the rule of the Yamen is to pay the money with one hand and give the land deed with the other hand, and the money and the goods are cleared."

Zhang Jinyu saw the master explaining this, isn't this the typical empty-glove white wolf of Blue Star, talent, who came up with the idea, squinted his eyes, and asked with a smile.

"Well, the master behind such a bold person has some weight, doesn't he?"

"Hou Ye Mingjian, I thought that the man had no power at first, but later I found out that the general manager was the chief manager of the noble family in the capital, and the commander of the guards guarding the water transport was the disciple of the noble family. I have to show face."

"You talked about it for a long time, but you didn't say who it is, which family's nobles, let me listen and see."

Zhang Jinyu was still thinking in her heart, could it be the Jia family again? I feel that only his family is more arrogant, and what they do is immoral. After thinking about it, it is impossible to be so coincidental. Every time I meet, I am shaken. Shaking his head, he picked up the tea bowl and took another sip of the tea.

Seeing this situation, the master had to say,

"Reply, Lord Hou, it's the Jia family in the capital, and the person who bought the land is Lai Da, the chief executive of their house."

"puff,"

Hearing this, Zhang Jinyu squirted out a sip of tea, which covered the master's head and face, but the master didn't dare to wipe it off, and still said that Houye's tea is really good and fragrant. Seeing the disgusting appearance of the little official, Zhang Jinyu hurried Let him get up and wipe his face and stand aside.

The master just stood up and wiped it, and didn't dare to make too many movements. Zhang Jinyu thought to himself, what a good opportunity, and asked quickly,
"The rule of your government is to pay the money with one hand and the land deed with one hand, right?"

"It's the rule, my lord,"

"Did you bring the title deed?"

"Master Hou, this is quite troublesome. The Jia family in the capital is not easy to mess with. No way, let's look at those small villages and buy more."

"You think I'm just joking. I've bought these five villages today. It won't work for anyone who comes. I'll let him rely on the big and the small, as Ben Hou said."

"Master Hou. Lord Hou."

The chief secretary shouted in a crying voice, but Zhang Jinyu ignored him and asked directly,

"How much silver is a Zhuangzi, tell me quickly."

The master book couldn't do anything when he saw it, so he had to go back and report to the sheriff, and it was sold first.

"Back to Lord Hou, each Zhuangzi is 10 taels of silver, and there are five Zhuangzi in total, totaling 50 taels of silver."

"So cheap?"

"Master Hou, this is the internal price, and they are all sold like this. The other ones are takeaway, so they are expensive."

Zhang Jinyu didn't ask any more questions, and directly took out a stack of bank notes from his arms, and took out the five largest ones from the bottom, one of which was 10 taels of silver notes. Open your eyes, this is the top dignitaries.

Zhang Jinyu handed over the bank note, and the master took it subconsciously, but he didn't twitch when he took it back. Only then did he realize that the other party was Lord Hou, and the land deed had not been given yet, so he quickly took out five Zhuangzi's land deeds from his bosom. After passing by, Zhang Jinyu let go, and then took the land deed over to look at it, which is great.

The Jia family is waiting!Ben Hou is here.
