Chapter 317: Reached out and couldn't see the mark

Views:

"Major Zhang, I heard that you agreed to let those merchants buy fertile land?" Xiao Xian Cheng and Zhan's master book found Zhang Zhong here for the five thousand dollars.

Zhang Zhong naturally wouldn't say whether he agreed or not, but instead asked, "I wonder if you two think that the fertile land should be sold?"

The two paused and winked at each other. Master Zhan said first, "Major Zhang, I didn’t see any fertile land over there. It’s obviously wasteland. Just put it there and don’t produce grain. It’s better to sell it. Up."

"Who said that it was a wasteland? Just now, those merchants admitted that it was fertile land, and they were willing to pay a fine every year. Based on the things that can be grown in the land, it is difficult to say which place in the county is fertile land. , I don’t know where is the wasteland?"

Zhang Zhong didn't follow the words of Zhan's master book, and rebuked it.

Master Zhan didn't think that those businessmen were already willing to pay the money, and thought it was the way they had been said at the beginning. In this way, Zhang Zhong could decide on his own, so why bother to call him

Xiao Xiancheng was also wondering there. He wanted to guess what Zhang Zhong thought, but he couldn't guess it at all. He could only cough lightly and said: "Xian Xian, if this is the case, then sell it. There will be more. Collect some taxes and make up for the money you paid."

Xiao Xiancheng realized that when he talked about the money, Zhang Zhong wanted to reclaim the money. Although the land sales and fines were not as good as those taken by Zhang Zhong, he could at least recover some of it. It's all right with this stroke.

Zhang Zhong said at this time: "All agreed, then write a copy of the paper, and then we will investigate the matter. I can wait and retreat together, and wait for them to find the owner of the field, buy it with money, and let them be their own matter."

"Master Zhang is happy, I'll wait for it to write." Zhan's master book didn't expect Zhang Zhong to pick the matter so clearly. After five thousand Guans got it, even the title has changed.

Xiao Xiancheng naturally didn't have much to say. They also agreed that the three people wrote the papers, one copy for each, and each one kept it. When the time comes, they will be held accountable for this matter, and the three need to work together.

After talking about this matter, Master Zhan and Xiao Xiancheng thought of the place on the other side of the mountain. There was no one to occupy it, and it belonged to the government. The two of them wanted to buy it first, and cover the shop as soon as possible. Don't know yet, think about it later.

Unexpectedly, before they waited for them to say this, Zhang Zhong brought it up.

"There is one more thing about the mountain. The land above and below the mountain is like this. I want to rent out the land on the mountain. For example, if you build a pavilion, then someone will buy and sell in the pavilion and you need to get some money. You think how?"

"Okay, the magistrate Zhang is right. There will be a lot of people there in the future, so it will naturally be rented. I don't know what to do with the land under the mountain?" Xiao Xiancheng really admires Zhang Zhong's thoughts now, and even thought of this.

How could Zhang Zhong not know what the two people think? Anyone who knows the place will find a way to occupy that place. Just now while waiting for the master book and the county prime minister to come over, the nephew of the former household department Shangshu Bigou sent someone over. Said.

It's a pity that although the place is good, it can't be given to the nephew whose surname is Zheng. Not to mention it is him, nor can his own family occupy it. That is the place where Sun Simiao once stayed, and there is a stone tablet inscribed there. How many doctors of medicine Learning? How many doctors or apprentices yearn for.

The son said that in the future it will be very prosperous, with countless people coming and going, and there will be a view on it. This kind of place with humanistic thoughts and close to pilgrimage can not be monopolized by anyone, and only the benefits can be given away. Go out and transfer the income to the county.

The only thing that can be accounted for is that there is a piece of blisters over there, which will be made into a lake in the future, connected to the river not far away, and make some ideas on it. As for the mountain, it will be distributed to the people in the court, including the emperor. share.

Zhang Zhong knew that his son meant to sell the place very cheaply to two people. Then two people would be unlucky, but that time would be a bit too long. How much money can two people have? Losing two or three thousand pennies of foreign money, I almost went mad with distress.

How much can the merchant give them? How can that little money quickly build the place? It’s not my own home. There are thousands of people who don’t care at all. Just the champion will get a small 100,000. It won’t hurt to lose a few thousand coins. Of course, this Impossible, the son and daughter-in-law have all this stuff in their heads.

"Master Zhang, you are talking." As Zhang Zhong was thinking about the matter, Master Zhan couldn't help it, and leaned closer to ask.

Zhang Zhong came out of his thoughts and said, "I know what you two mean, but that place can't give you two. This is how he is..."

Zhang Zhong said part of the things he had just thought, but he didn't say the one who made money.

The two people who heard this were sweating all over. They didn’t expect that there were so many things inside, but they couldn’t figure it out again. Why didn’t Zhang Zhong use this opportunity to kill them both once? At that time, no one would Can't keep them both.

"My lord, you are..." Even if Master Zhan always wanted to get Zhang Zhong down, he had to admire Zhang Zhong's attitude at this time. People obviously had a chance to harm them two, but it was useless, so they said it instead. .

Zhang Zhong didn’t answer him, but said, “I think this is the way I think. Yamen will pay to build shops one by one, and then rent it out and rent it again every three years. Whoever pays the higher price? It can be rented, and whoever has the greatest ability behind it can rent it.

When the time comes, everyone will do business together. Even if I am not the county magistrate, the new county magistrate will not dare to make the idea of that place. There is no money in the account. When renting in the future, for three years, the minimum reserve price for each store is 1,700 guan, which is still the kind of ordinary shop.

As for the larger one, the price is higher. If you two are willing to rent, you can rent a few rooms to the two of you first. There is no need to fight with others for this. My family is also planning to get a few, as well as other people in the yamen. If you can afford the money, and you don't help others to rent, you can set aside a copy for them first.

Those shops will be operated for three years by anyone who rents them out in the future. Subletting is not allowed during the three years, lest the house price is too high and the people who come can not afford it. "

Master Zhan and Xiao Xiancheng listened to Zhang Zhong’s words and stayed there for a long time without words. They really couldn’t understand what benefit Zhang Zhong did to his family. They could abandon such great interests. It seemed that everything was for the sake of Huayuan. People.

This kind of thing is simply impossible for the two of them. If you don't take the opportunity to make more money, what is the use of being a good official? Is this the different thinking of the rich and the poor

Yes, the Zhang family doesn't have to make money for this. They started the business, but they couldn't do it. They have only made some money in the past few years.

Zhan’s master book was a little shaken and didn’t want to continue dealing with Zhang Zhong. He looked at Xiao Xiancheng. He was suppressed by Zhang Zhong’s attitude and the majesty of serving the people. He felt that Zhang Zhong was a gentleman and he was a gentleman. Villain.

Xiao Xiancheng was also thinking about it, but he didn’t think that a gentleman was a villain. He wanted to live a better life and wanted to be a master. What he thought was that the current emperor was not after the Xuanwu gate. Where to sit

Thinking of this, he had a decision in his mind, "Xianling Zhang, in that case, I will write another document later."

He wanted Zhang Zhong to put out some money, anyway, the yamen couldn't get money right away, unless those merchants were willing to give him Zhang Zhong money, which now seems to be no, the Zhang family had money and gave ginseng.

Zhang Zhong nodded and said, "Also, let's write."

The two wrote the text as quickly as possible, and then pressed their own seals. Zhang Zhong stretched his hands into his arms to take the seals, reached in and touched them, his complexion suddenly changed, and there was no seal in his arms. went

"Well, that matter hasn't been settled yet. When I go back, I will think about it. Let's do it today. Waiting for the merchants to buy other people's land, you can do business there."

Zhang Zhong took his hand out of his arms and said to Master Zhan and Xiao Xiancheng.

Both of them were taken aback, seeing that Zhang Zhong didn't want to say anything else, so they could only leave.

"Boyong brother, do we have to deal with Zhang Zhong? He helped us once today, otherwise we would really buy the place, maybe we would lose our lives."

After going out and taking dozens of steps, Master Zhan said to Xiao Xiancheng.

"Why? Are you afraid of him? Don’t think I don’t know. He didn’t say that for us. He was afraid that the delay would be too long. He really wanted to harm us. We have to fix it over there. And he brought a lot of people over. When did he have to? He couldn't wait.

He wants to bribe us and let us listen to him. Which of us is not bigger than him? He also has some money in his family. He wants us to be obedient. Let's dream. After this year, you will be thirty. Are you willing to give him a hand? "

Xiao Xiancheng's thinking is obviously different from that of Zhan's master book. He is used to being strong. Even when the county magistrate is present, what he says has a certain effect, and the county magistrate is only consulting him.

Master Zhan himself didn't have any strong opinions. Hearing what Xiao Xiancheng said, he explained immediately.

"No, I didn't think so. I just think it's too difficult to bring him down. Let's give him a hand and let him rise. By then, Huayuan County will not have the final say?"

"Dreaming, then Huayuan County will be like Sanshui County, with the surname Chengdi, and a surname Jia will come right away. We can’t let him do things well, otherwise we will never have the opportunity to let He ascended? Why didn't we ascend? He ascended, he was still bigger than our official."

Xiao Xiancheng said angrily, he was afraid that the people around him would not continue to do things with him.

"Master, two adults, are you here, take a look, what did I bring?" A person suddenly ran up in front of him, it was the Shen Yuan who reached the two of them, and stretched out his hand to the other. In the sleeve.
