Ji Tang

Chapter 582: Solve it, go south

Facing Ji Song's seemingly unintentional accusation, Zheng Wen broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he didn't borrow Zheng's name. Otherwise, with this person's temperament, he would never be able to take advantage of it, and he would probably be implicated in Zheng's case.
If that were the case, he would have simply cut himself off from the family.
The reason why I am where I am today is not because of my great abilities. There are many capable people in the world, but how many of them can achieve their position and become officials of the imperial court?
It's the Zheng family. Without the Zheng family, I would be a little person that everyone can bully, and no one would care.
Therefore, no matter what, the Zheng family must not be implicated. Even if the Zheng family does not save herself, at least she will not embarrass her family.
"Get up!"

"You should be glad that you haven't done anything irreversible yet, otherwise the person who meets you will not be this prince, but the Minister of Dali Temple."

Seeing Zheng Wen lying on the ground and shaking non-stop, Ji Song thought for a moment and said: "This matter ends here. In addition, I will send you the title deed of this place. I think this place is quite good and I plan to buy a place here." industry."

"Do you understand?"

Ji Song leaned over and asked.
Zheng Wen had no reason not to agree, and said quickly: "Thank you for your forgiveness, Lord Marquis. I will send you the land deed right now. I won't dare to disturb you even a little bit in the future."

"What are you thinking?"

Ji Song glared at him angrily and said, "I am buying property, not taking advantage of others, and I am not using my power to bully others. Just pay as much as you need. I still don't have enough money to buy land?"

"In addition, I will rent the land here to them, and the taxes will be collected as normal. The amount will be whatever it is."

"Do you hear clearly?"

Zheng Wen was startled and said quickly: "I understand, I understand!"

If he still understands at this time, then his service as an official over the past few years will be in vain.

By doing this, Ji Song not only solved the problem here from the root, but also added an excellent industry to the Ji family.

As for why not give it directly to these people?

Haha, you have to keep it if you give it, right?
Once Ji Song leaves, these women and children simply cannot keep these things.

As an official of the imperial court, Ji Song went to Jiangnan Road to serve as an official this time. How could he have time to take care of these people? Once time passes, who would remember them?
But once this place becomes Ji's property, someone will definitely come to manage it.

By then, with Ji's reputation, who would dare to have other thoughts about this place?
He sighed in his heart, admiring Ji Song.

Although he no longer has the possibility to continue planning this place, at least there is no possibility of being targeted by Ji Song, and he can be regarded as escaping.

"Okay, I don't want to take care of your affairs, but if you dare to disturb them again, you'd better not let me know, otherwise"

Zheng Wen hurriedly said: "I don't dare to lower my rank!"

Ji Song nodded and said: "This is best!"

When Zheng Wen saw that Ji Song was not talking, he bowed respectfully and left quickly.

He must complete what Ji Song told him as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable. Who knows whether he will change his mind.

"Master Marquis, is this too easy for him? What if he does it after we leave?"

Daniel's words made the person who had just breathed a sigh of relief suddenly lift his heart to his throat.

Yes, if Magistrate Zheng wants to settle accounts after the fall, what can they do to resist?Once Ji Song and others left, even if they had the intention, they would be beyond their reach.

So what should they do?
"Mrs. Liu, lend me a step to speak!"

Mrs. Liu was stunned, but she still walked aside with Ji Song.

"I have bought this place. As for the reason, I believe you also understand. If you don't agree, the land is still yours, but you must pay back the money for the land."

Mrs. Liu was speechless, she really didn't know what to say?

Pay off?Still have to clear it?
If you don't say it, you still have to pay it off. Once people know that the land deed here is in your hands, there is no guarantee that no one will attack here. But only God knows whether there will be someone like Ji Song to rescue him next time.

"Don't worry, I won't let you take it out all at once. Just pay back part of it every year. There will be no interest and no expiration date. How about that?"

Of course Ji Song understood their thoughts. If he gave it to them directly, to be honest, even if he had no choice but to accept it, they would not be able to sleep or eat well. "No, I believe in the Marquis!"

Liu's answer made Ji Song a little puzzled, and he said curiously: "You have to know that once this place becomes my property, although I will not drive you away, this place will no longer belong to you from now on."

"You have to think about it and discuss it with them."

Mrs. Liu shook her head and said, "No, I can make the decision here."

"But I have two requests, please consider them!"

Ji Song was stunned. Seeing Liu's uneasy look, Ji Song laughed dumbly and said, "Let's talk about it. If it's not too difficult, I can agree!"

Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and said: "First, according to the wishes of the Marquis, we don't want the land deed, but you must promise not to drive us out in the future."

"Yes, not only that, you can continue to use the fields here, but you must turn in [-]% of the grain every year. You don't have to worry about taxes. This is my business."

"And you also have the right to purchase the fields."

Hearing what Ji Song said, Mrs. Liu looked grateful. This was a sign of respect for them. No one wanted to be reduced to a slave-like situation.

And when Ji Song did this, he treated them as civilians rather than private property. This is very important!
"Second, this is my selfishness. I hope that my slave can stay with the Marquis, even if it is a maid, it doesn't matter!"

Liu was actually helpless. If given a choice, who would be willing to hand over his fate to others?

As for letting his daughter follow Ji Song, it is not difficult to understand.

They met Ji Song unexpectedly, and it was already rare for someone to help them.

But after all, there is no connection. If time goes by, they might be forgotten.

If they, women and children, do not have strong backers, they will end up being annexed sooner or later.

"This"

Ji Song didn't expect that she would make this request, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Let's do this. As long as you can convince my wife, I have nothing to say. But there is one thing I want to make clear in advance!"

"Please order, Lord Marquis!"

Ji Song waved his hand and said: "It doesn't have to be like this! I understand what you mean by letting your slave follow me. But I will not restrict her freedom. If she has a sweetheart, I will be her natal family. .”

Then he looked at Mrs. Liu and said, "Do you understand this?"

I understand, of course Ms. Liu understands.

But she also understood Ji Song's personality, and she felt relieved.

Although she had heard of Ji Song's reputation at the beginning, it was more of a desperate gamble.But now it seems that I made the right choice.

as for the daughter
She shook her head and let everything take its course!

After that, I don’t know what Liu told You Ning, but You Ning actually happily agreed.

Since You Ning agreed, he naturally wouldn't say anything more.

Soon after, Zheng Wen sent the land deed, and Ji Song did not break his promise and paid all the money to buy the land.Then he sent a letter to ask someone from home to take care of it.

At this point, the matter was settled, and Ji Song stopped delaying and said goodbye to everyone the next day and set off south again.
