She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 98 Buying a Barren Mountain 1
Yang Luo also has a little understanding of Pei Peng's style, knowing that she really doesn't care about red tape in many cases, and she has a kind of straightforwardness that does not match her identity.

He didn't refuse any more, and simply sat down.

Pei Peng's food was relatively simple. Given the continuous rain outside, it was still a little damp and cold. The kitchen made a strong ginger soup, as well as a few appetizers that Pei Peng often eats in summer, and the rest was a few pasta.

The maids served Yang Luo a portion according to the same specifications and then quietly stepped aside.

Yang Luo was not very hungry, and he was cautious when eating alone with Pei Peng. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Pei Peng's chopsticks getting slower and slower, so he knew that she was full. The reason why he didn't put the chopsticks away was because he was afraid of embarrassment. keep moving.

He quickly stopped his movements, indicating that he was full too.

Pei Peng glanced at the food in front of him, chuckled lightly, and asked the maids to pack the food without asking any further questions, then turned around and led Yang Luo into the study.

After the tea was served and the door of the study was gently closed, Pei Peng said:
"Are you going to Shangyong County tomorrow? How are you preparing?"

Yang Luo sat on the twig, and when he heard the question, he got up and answered:

"Your Highness, things are almost ready. I have also applied for some materials with Wang Changshi, and I have asked the book boy to transcribe them. Guanshi Guo also sent me two servants, saying that it will be convenient for them to run errands when the time comes. It can also support the door."

Pei Peng thought to himself, it seems that Yang Luo has done a good job in the internal affairs of moistening things in the mansion during this time. Although all parties have to cooperate with the tasks she ordered, but it is so smooth for Yang Luo to get someone. It can be seen that he still has a little friendship with the old people in the Princess Mansion.

This kind of friendship may not be of much use at critical times, after all, it is not a relationship of interest, but in such a small matter, it can make things go smoothly.

Pei Peng picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, it was so bitter.

She couldn't help frowning, it seems that Xiao Ruo got her godmother's order and knew that she would get angry easily after a banquet, so she brewed strong tea for her to prevent it.

Pei Peng felt a little pity. She still thought that Ayao was ill this time and she could escape the bitter tea.

Seeing Pei Peng frowning, Yang Luo thought she minded that no one told her, so she explained:
"Wang Changshi and Manager Guo have already written a list and are planning to come and report to you. But I said I would come to ask you something, so I did it for you."

Pei Peng put down the tea cup and subconsciously moved it further away before reassuring:
"It's okay, I hope that you can all cooperate with each other like this, so that things can be done faster."

Yang Luo came here mainly to ask Pei Peng if he had any other requirements for buying land, and how to register when writing documents.

He knew that since Pei Peng had entrusted this matter to him, at least the follow-up matter was likely to be done by him.The purchase of land is not important, but if the jujube wine is purchased smoothly, even if it is not as good as the income of the acacia wine, it is still a big contribution.

After all, what Pei Peng values ​​most at the moment is gradually mastering Taizhou, and filling the warehouse. He can use jujube wine to help with these two points.

Therefore, Yang Luo was very concerned about this matter, so naturally he had to clearly understand Pei Peng's request.

Pei Peng was also very happy and gave the following requirements for the selection of mountains and places:

First, jujube trees must be suitable for planting and can be connected into one large piece for easy management.

The second is that the property rights are clear, try not to occupy the cultivated land of the nearby people and the hills owned by the owner.If there is indeed an overlap, it is necessary to communicate clearly and provide sufficient compensation, and don't let the local people have a bad impression of them for petty profits.

At the same time, don't grab land with the local big clan. There is no need to attract their attention from the beginning, let's develop slowly.

The third is that it is best to have a village with a large number of people nearby, so that it is convenient to hire villagers to work. The more people they hire, the more stable they can be in Shangyong County.

Yang Luo secretly noted that he had considered some of these items, some he had considered but not comprehensively, and some he had not thought of.

As for how to write the documents and how to settle down, Pei Peng didn't struggle, and said directly:

"Let it fall under your name, Yang's family in Haizhou. I remember that your family also does some business. They said that they would come to Taizhou to make wine. Even if someone inquires, they will not suspect anything. And you just came to me. No one will associate you with the Princess Mansion, and when they know, then we don't need to hide it."

It's not that Pei Peng believes how loyal Yang Luo is, but she thinks that Yang Luo is not stupid enough to offend her all over the place, let alone give up his ambition when he went to her.

And once she reaches the point where Yang Luo is not afraid of offending and doesn't want to stay anymore, that extra piece of land won't make her stand up. Of course, she will only find a way to let her daughter run away with valuable things, and she won't be entangled. up.

Therefore, Pei Peng made a decision generously. Since Yang Luo was required to handle this matter, and he would often be asked to run errands in the future, it would be good to leave the land in his name for the time being.

Although the land was not worth much, Yang Luo still appreciated Pei Peng's trust. After receiving Pei Peng's permission, he said goodbye and went back to continue preparations.

Early on the next morning, Yang Luo brought an older servant disguised as a steward, another stronger servant disguised as a guard, plus his own servant, a scholar, wearing a sea-striped suit sent from home. Wearing state-style costumes and riding a carriage, Shi Shiran went to Shangyong County.

Shangyong County is next door to Chengyang County, not far away, and it took half a day to enter the city.

For young masters like Yang Luo who are sitting in a carriage, the guards at the city gate are very loose in inspections, which is not at all like the strict inspections at the gates of Chengyang County in the recent period-obviously, only Chengyang County has suffered from the indiscriminate disaster of the Al clan .

This also proves that when the people behind the scenes dealt with Pei Wei, they did take Pei Peng along with them.

After all, Shangyong County, a county with mixed ethnic groups and complex situations, is obviously more convenient than Chengyang County for making wars so big that they have to be reported.

Yang Luo secretly wrote this down, and was going to go back and report it to Pei Peng.

But at this time, he still maintains the demeanor of a son sent by his family to train. As soon as he arrives, he asks his attendants to take out their wallets, recruits the helpers who are wandering on the street, and asks them for news.

Shangyong County is martial and strong, and there are more helpers than Chengyang County who are hired to fight or build a reputation with nothing to do.

Moreover, it is obvious that some of them are tall-browed and dark-eyed faces of foreign races. Their hairstyles and costumes are somewhat different, separated in twos and threes. It seems that they are of different races, and there may be some contradictions.

Of course, there are also people with Han faces, and they gather more people. They sit or squat on a step, squinting their eyes to see the passers-by.

The relationship between these people seemed so harmonious and distinct, but Yang Luo didn't care about their relationship, and asked all the visitors without hesitation.

These people had conflicts with each other and had no objections to money. When they saw Yang Luo giving money generously, they laughed stupidly. They just regarded him as a rich young man who was trying to butcher him, and crowded around him to provide him with information. I dislike being next to someone with whom I have always been at odds.

"What? What are you talking about? Someone is being taken advantage of and wants to buy a barren mountain??"

After a while, the news spread to different people's ears like flying.

"It's not a barren mountain. He wants one with jujube trees."
