Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 129 Want to get involved

Gu Erzhu couldn't react for a while.

He knew to some extent that Ma Dazhuang had already set his sights on Gujiazhuang, but he didn't expect that Zhou Banxia also wanted to get involved.

Looking at the freshly made drawings, Zhou Banxia's drawings of Hedong and Gujiazhuang, his eyes once again fell on a few small circles on the paper.

"Dad, I heard what Uncle Li Zheng meant. This small forest clearing does not belong to the Gu family, as well as this one next to us and this one next to the south.

These three places do not belong to the Gu family, which means that it does not count as a land grab with Uncle Ma. Maybe he would be happy for our family to buy them and turn them into his own territory. "

This kid is really good at persuading, even if you don't say anything, he's already moved.

Not to mention the land next to it to the south, the land behind not far away is worth, at most, four taels of silver per acre.

It's this small forest, "Sanya, you have to know that this forest clearing is now covered by snow. You can't see the rocks and thorns on the ground. It's difficult to get out, otherwise it would have been robbed long ago."

If you want to hire someone to open up wasteland, do you know that it is more expensive than buying these two ready-made pieces of land? "

Zhou Banxia nodded and smiled, "I don't plan to open up wasteland. I just want to buy it now and see if I can open an oil press later. Mom, please ask dad to help me."

Mr. Liu is already quite smart, and Zhou Banxia mentioned the oil pressing workshop. How could he not understand the pros and cons of this.

It's just that after being in the Gu family's predicament for a long time, habits have become natural. For a moment, I couldn't realize that the old daughter-in-law meant that the old Ma's family was in the east. The wasteland was not the key, but a leverage.

This is a good thing. Don't judge others with the greatest malice. I believe that there are many good people in the world, but the most unpredictable thing is the human heart. The good and evil of people are never static.

For example, in the Zhou and Gu clans, there are many enthusiastic and quick-hearted people, but there are also people with delusions like Gu Dalang.

As the daughter of the Zhou family and the daughter-in-law of the Gu family of the same village, as well as being a mother-in-law and sister-in-law who can leverage each other's strength, she is in an excellent position and it would be a mistake to be more cautious.

"Go ahead, don't keep the in-laws waiting for too long."

Mrs. Liu said as she picked up the household registration card she wanted to use and handed it to Gu Erzhu, then quickly took off the cotton cloak.

"Dad, don't forget to name it in Brother Liulang's name. I told my father that it was Brother Liulang who saved the money."

Zhou Banxia also immediately handed two money bags containing broken silver coins and silver notes to Gu Erzhu.

"I know, I know." Gu Erzhu laughed, took the two money bags and put them close to his body, and put on his cloak, "You silly boy, you got it because you fell into the name of your Liulang brother.

Don't worry, dad knows what's going on. You and your mother can just wait at home with peace of mind. I'm leaving, little girl, and I'll leave the house to you. "

Mrs. Liu nodded knowingly and watched Gu Erzhu go to the front yard. She did not delay her business and hurriedly went to deal with the placement of the servants bought by her eldest daughter-in-law.

How many years have passed, and I don’t even have a maid next to me. Even when I went to the county town yesterday, I thought of everything, except that I could still go to the dental clinic.

Putting away her thoughts, Ms. Liu looked at the family of five in front of her.

They are all average-looking, not ugly, but definitely not good-looking, and all of them are quite dark and skinny, which shows that they have never worked in the host's house before.

The man, Yu Cai, is 35 years old this year, and looks older than the father of her children; the woman, Aunt Cai, is 34 years old, and she almost acts based on the look of men.

The couple are both average-looking, not ugly, but definitely not good-looking. They are all quite dark-looking, and even the three children are skinny. It can be seen that he is an honest person and would not camp in the master's house before, otherwise the master's family would not move south, and such a neat family would be transferred to Yaxing.

My in-laws have good eyesight.

The man knows how to farm, and the woman knows how to cook. The two boys, one fifteen and one twelve, are suitable for serving in her house.

There is a little girl left who is seven or eight years old and is about the same age as her Bao Ya. She can also take care of Xiao Changsuo. Such a servant was chosen according to the needs of her family.

Zhou Banxia stood quietly beside Ms. Liu, silently listening to her mother-in-law's matronly training using sticks and carrots.

When Mrs. Liu asked the couple not to change their surnames, gave the three children names, assigned jobs, and led Aunt Cai to the kitchen, she also retreated.

There were even servants, thinking that there was no need to do any housework anymore. Zhou Banxia and Ma Shan looked at each other and smiled, pointing to the west wing to indicate that they should go back to their room to busy with their embroidery work.

Ma Shan wanted to ask Zhou Banxia to tell her if she thought her mother-in-law was different just now. Unfortunately, her stomach was so tight that she needed to relieve herself.

Zhou Banxia didn't know that Ma Shan still wanted to chat with her. After all, they had talked enough in the morning. Taking advantage of the free time in the afternoon, she hurriedly finished the manuscript.

Now that the money has been spent, we must hurry up and work. If we finish the work earlier, we will have one less thing to do.

Otherwise, not to mention that I have to teach two Luozi tricks tonight, there should be a reply from shopkeeper Wang in the next two or three days and he will go to the county town. There are really a lot of things to be busy with.

She put aside her random thoughts and started busy with her work. Gu Wenxuan, who was in the school, was also gathering his thoughts and concentrating on organizing his notes before class.

When Shen Zheng came home from school, he was suddenly called Second Master. He thought that the reason why his wife was not at home at noon was because she bought someone from a dental shop in the county town where she went.

When Zhou Banxia mentioned what she did during the day, Gu Wenxuan knew that he had misunderstood. Even if his father hadn't returned yet, it wasn't because Uncle Ma had dragged him out to drink.

As for Zhou Banxia's statement that he and Ma Shan did not jointly buy thirty-two acres of land, but that they still wanted to buy the three pieces of land, he strongly agreed. He would be stupid not to buy it.

If you keep the money, you won't be able to give birth to cubs.

There were gold leaves and supplies. If it were not clear where the original capital came from, he would have tried his best to use the cash on hand to buy land, shops and collect rent.

If the year is good, if you have a 100-acre field, even if you don't hire long-term workers, you can rent it out for 40% of the rent, and you can still eat and drink without giving up the 10% of the land tax.

There are a few shops worth three to four thousand taels of silver in several counties. With the current rental return rate of a shop that can recover the principal in ten to fifteen years, it is not a waste of money.

In this cycle, capital does not expand, and it is enough to ensure food and clothing.

In fact, it is the same whether it is modern or today. The rich will get richer and richer, but it is useless for the poor to change the status quo by living frugally.

As for whether they can buy it, who are you kidding? Three big local snakes have gathered together, and Gu Yangming is in charge. If he and his wife can't buy it, no one else can even think of it.

In this vast land, no rich person with any brains would compete with the Zhou and Gu families.

Because it's useless to rob it. If you can plant flowers, you dare to dig up the roots. Clan cohesion is not a joke. Otherwise, why would Lao Ma's family be targeting Gujiazhuang.

If the force value is high and there are many sons, no one will dare to rob it. If his father-in-law wants to use his existing 30 acres of land to fight against the Ma family, the old Ma family will not be able to rob the old Zhou family.
