After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 76 Mr. Cheng comes to buy land

When she arrived, Lin Chunniang found that not only her family was here, but also other land-owning families in the village, including Liu Guangzong.

He occupied the best seat under the shade of a tree, fanning himself with a fan in his hand, looking like he was a self-proclaimed romantic.

When he saw Lin Chunniang and his sister, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

Lin Chunniang and Lin Dayou walked to the shadow cast by the wall and fanned the wind with their sleeves.

Liu Shuigan walked out of the ancestral hall and led a man in his thirties out.

The man wore a moon-white silk gown with a gold belt around his waist. The gold belt was decorated with a jade pendant and a purse. He held a fan in his hand. The fan was also decorated with a jade pendant. His whole body was covered with gold and jade, and there were no wrinkles on his clothes. No, wealth is compelling.

Somehow, the villagers subconsciously looked at Liu Guangzong, who was also holding a fan. Just now, they felt that Liu Guangzong was worthy of having studied in the county academy. His style was different from that of the villagers, and he looked like a scholar.

But as soon as this person appeared, they felt that Liu Guangzong was being compared.

Liu Guangzong was very angry with the villagers. What did these mud-legged people mean?Do you think he is not as good as that person?

Oh, when he goes to the Li family, he will become the direct grandson of the first-class family Li's family. Then, not to mention this man, even the chief of the Cheng family will have to grovel before him!

Liu Shuigan introduced: "This is Mr. Cheng."

Cheng Shisan raised his chin slightly, waiting to appreciate the admiration and admiration in the villagers' eyes. Unexpectedly, the villagers didn't react at all.

The villagers have stayed in the village for most of their lives and rarely go to the town. How do you know about the Cheng family?
Cheng Shisan was despicable in his heart, a bunch of idiots who didn't understand anything.

Liu Guangzong stood up with a face full of surprise, "It turns out to be Brother Cheng. It's a pleasure to meet you. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Cheng Shisan glanced at him, who was worthy of calling him a brother?
Liu Guangzong: "Xiao Ke Liu Guangzong studied reading in the Cheng clan."

Cheng Shisan then gave him a good look, but his tone was still lukewarm: "Really?"

He didn't bother to waste any more time and got straight to the point: "I'm here to buy land from you this time. I'll take whatever land you have in your hands. The price is negotiable."

Lin Chunniang: "I won't sell it! The rice in the field is ripe and will be harvested soon. I'm crazy to sell it to you."

Cheng Shisan frowned. This country girl really didn't understand any rules. How could she be the only woman to intervene in the matter of land sales?Is there no man in her family?

"My Cheng family will not let you suffer a loss. One acre of high-quality paddy field can be sold for 11 taels on the market. My Cheng family can pay [-] taels. This extra one tael of silver is enough to make up for your losses.

"In addition, after you sell the land to my Cheng family, our Cheng family will lease the land to you for planting. From now on, you will be the tenants of my Cheng family. You do not need to pay taxes to the court for the grain you grow. You only need to give out [-]% of the grain." Just come and pay the rent.

"You can't find such a good thing even with a lantern, so what are you waiting for?"

"One acre of land is 11 taels of silver, which is a good price."

"Yes, one acre of land is busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, but I still can't make a tael of silver."

“You don’t have to pay taxes! This is a great thing!”

Liu Shuigen was more knowledgeable than the villagers, "Mr. Cheng, after the Cheng family buys the land, they will rent it to the people in the village. The rent only requires [-]% of the grain in the land?

"Then if there is a flood or drought and the fields cannot harvest food, will the tenants need to pay rent? Is the [-]% rent the same every year, or is it only the first year, and will the price increase year by year in the future?"

This seemingly honest and honest village chief actually has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

Cheng Shisan started to draw the pie without blinking an eye: "If there is a disaster, the Cheng family will naturally reduce the rent. As for the rent, it must be [-]% every year. Our Cheng family will not use this to cheat you."

Lin Chunniang hit the nail on the head: "Do your words represent the entire Cheng family? If the Cheng family doesn't admit what you said and someone else comes in and insists on increasing the rent or even refuses to rent the land to us, what will we do? "

Cheng Shisan choked up, "You woman, don't talk nonsense! I, the Cheng family, have inherited poems and books for more than [-] years. We have always valued benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust, so how could we go back on our word?" Lin Chunniang was not led astray by him: "You haven't answered my question just now. All you need to say is whether your words can represent the entire Cheng family."

Cheng Shisan: "You!"

How could he represent the entire Cheng family?There are hundreds of people in the Cheng clan. Although his surname is Cheng, he is not ranked among the clan members at all.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent to this barren countryside to do this kind of land acquisition work under the bright sun.

When Lin Chunniang saw that he was speechless, she knew that he was indeed deceiving her and others, so she turned around and left with her brother.

Other villagers also came to their senses.

This Mr. Cheng talks nicely, but in the end he can't talk at all at home, so how can he and others sell the land to him?Definitely not.

The villagers also left.

When Cheng Shisan saw this, he closed his fan in anger, "What a bunch of unruly people!"

Liu Shuigen didn't like hearing this, "Mr. Cheng, it was you who was dishonest in the first place. How can you blame the people in our village?"

Liu Guangzong didn't leave. He stepped forward and said, "Third uncle, how can you talk to Mr. Cheng like this? He is from the Cheng family. Do you know who the Cheng family is? The entire Qingyuan County belongs to their family. Will the Cheng family come to defraud us of those acres of land?"

Liu Shuigan: "If you are not afraid of being cheated, then go ahead and sell it. I can't control you anyway."

He walked away with his hands behind his back.

Liu Guangzong bowed his hand to Cheng Shisan, "Mr. Cheng, why don't you go to my house for a cup of tea and sit down and chat? My family has a small income and more than ten acres of land. If you don't mind it, I'm willing to sell it. To the Cheng family."

Cheng Shisan was very satisfied with his success and nodded, "Let's go then."

When he arrived at home, Liu Guangzong told Cao Ying: "We have a distinguished guest at home. Go and buy a table of good wine and food."

Cao Ying's eyes glanced around the "distinguished guest". Seeing that he was covered in gold and jade, he was secretly speechless and did not dare to look any further: "Hey, I'll go right away."

When the food and drinks were served, Liu Guangzong gave Cheng Shisan a glass of wine and toasted him.

The two of them went back and forth, clinking glasses frequently, and soon became drunk and became brothers.

Liu Guangzong approached Cheng Shisan and expressed his embarrassment sincerely: "Brother Cheng, the Lin family is the thorn in our village. With their family taking the lead, the villagers will not sell their land. You just want to sell ten of our family's land." I bought a few acres of land, but I can’t pay the bills when I go back.”

Cheng Shisan: "The Xiaolin family dares to go against our Cheng family. They really don't know how to live or die."

Liu Guangzong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he suppressed it again, "Come on, Brother Cheng, let's not talk about those spoilers. Brother Cheng and I hit it off as old friends today, so we will have a good drink."

After a few more glasses of wine, Liu Guangzong seemed to mention it casually: "Now is the time when the weather is dry. Last night I knocked over the candlestick and almost burned down the house. I'm scared to think about it."

Knock over the candlestick, burn down the house... These two key words penetrated into his ears. Cheng Shisan, who seemed drunk but was actually very clear, took a deep look at Liu Guangzong.

This Liu Guangzong is dishonest. It turns out he is waiting for him here.

He was afraid that he had a grudge against the Lin family and wanted to use his own hands to get rid of the Lin family.

However, the Lin family is indeed hateful, so why not take advantage of it?

The two looked at each other and laughed. They seemed to be very compatible, but in fact they had their own agenda.
