"Master, all the small banners and big households are selling the fields outside the fort. Some people put up notices or let people spread the news. But there are many people watching the excitement, but only a few people buying. Now the price of the fields is only half. Got the money."
The housekeeper ran to Wu Nian and reported.
Liu Xiang and Chen also knew about this matter.
Liu Xiang snorted softly and said, "Brother. I heard that these small flags are afraid of the Mongolian people going south, so they are eager to sell their land."
Mrs. Chen nodded, her red lips gently exhaling the fragrance. She just ran over to wipe Wu Nian's sweat, but within such a short distance, she began to feel weak and weak.
"I know. Otherwise, why would I send the housekeeper?" Wu Nian did not tell Liu Xiang these messy things. She could just be an official's wife.
"Send people to knock on the door and tell them that I want to buy their fields." Wu Nian raised his head and said to the housekeeper.
"Brother. They are all in a hurry to sell their land, why are you buying it?" Liu Xiang asked very puzzledly, her eyes full of vigilance, for fear that her man would suffer a loss.
Mrs. Chen still had some knowledge. She pulled Liu Xiang's arm and said softly: "Women should stay out of men's affairs."
"Oh." Liu Xiangman nodded obediently after listening to Chen's words.
"What a good sister, my Dinghai Shenzhen." Wu Nian was not shy and gently hugged Chen's slim waist. Mrs. Chen glared at her fiercely, and Xiafei twisted her waist and walked away with an angry expression.
It's a clear day and there are outsiders present. This bastard makes me so angry.
Liu Xiang also helped Chen and said angrily: "Brother, there are outsiders here." After saying that, she quickly chased after Chen.
"Yes." The butler responded and ran away. Zhang Jin turned his head away, not daring to look.
"Haha." Wu Nian laughed dryly. This sister is good at everything, she is just shy. He was not allowed to be intimate during the day, but anything was fine at night.
"Brother, let's go to the hall and wait for these little flags." He turned around and said to Zhang Jin.
"Yeah." Zhang Jin hummed and followed Wu Nian to the main room and sat down.
A maid went to make tea and brought it up.
The tea at Wu Nian's house is not as high-end as Yuqian's. It is just ordinary wild mountain tea, but it tastes quite delicious.
In the time of a cup of tea, all the eight small flags in the current 100 households came, including more than a dozen large households with considerable land.
Everyone is like ants on a hot pot. Why don't you be anxious when you hear that someone is taking over?
"Brother. These guys are all selling their fields, but you are buying them. Don't fool the brothers." Wu Dangkou walked a little hastily, panting and his face turned red. Before he could stop breathing, he hurriedly said to Wu Nian.
"Yes. Wu Xiaoqi, don't make us happy."
"Don't say that. Brother Wu is a person who spits and nails. How could he lie to us?"
The little ones sat down and the big ones stood, all dubious about this matter. There were some bad guys and some bad guys, so it was quite lively.
"My good brother, how could I lie to you?" Wu Nian smiled and said to Wu Dangkou, then asked the maid to make tea, and then said: "I have eaten all the fields you have. Today Write the contract and transfer the land deed. Anyway, we are the ones who open the 100-household office. It’s convenient.”
"However, I only offer 300 Wen for one acre of land. Brothers, please think carefully."
"That's right. Since you have sold your fields, you don't need so many slaves. Sell them to me as many slaves as you have."
With that said, Wu Nian picked up the warm tea cup and drank the tea calmly. It's like Jiang Taigong sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and defeated King Wen of Zhou Dynasty.
When Xiaoqi and the big bosses heard this, they immediately went crazy.
They were relieved that Wu Nian was not out of touch and really wanted to buy their fields. But on the other hand, this black-hearted profiteer.
The special code is three hundred coins per acre of land, but this guy can't say it.
Originally, this acre of land was worth three to five dollars.
Xiaoqi and the big family members were so angry that they almost wanted to curse.
But they don't even think about it. How did they get the fields under their names? They were all obtained from ordinary military households using similar means.
What's more, it's not that Wu Nian wants to buy it by force, but that they are all like ants on a hot pot, and they are in a hurry.
"My good brother. I can't accept your price. Can you raise it a little bit? How about four hundred and fifty cents?" Wu Dangkou was furious, but he didn't dare to turn his face. He could only frown and look slightly sad. He said to Wu Nian flatteringly.
Other small banners and large households followed suit and agreed with the Wudang bandits.
Wu Nian refused to retreat, so he said: "Brothers, you must know that the Meng Yuan people are very likely to go south this year. If Liaodong is lost, all my money will be wasted. I have taken the risk, and you brothers have to give in, right?" ?”
"Three hundred cents, if you want to sell it, just sell it. If you don't sell it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Wu Nian's words are really powerful. Ever since Chen Jinshi began to say that the Mongolians would conquer Liaodong, this matter became more and more bizarre.
These three people became tigers, and people heard it more often, as if the Meng Yuan people were like the Nian beast, and the time was coming.
The small flags and the big ones just felt dizzy. I feel that if I don’t sell my land at a low price today, I will regret it tomorrow.
"Sold." Wu Dangkou was so anxious that he broke out in cold sweat. He was having a fierce ideological struggle in his heart. When he said these two words, his whole body seemed to have had all the bones taken away, and he collapsed. on the chair.
The land that the Wu family had accumulated for nearly a century was sold off by me at such a low price.
Following the opening opened by Wu Dang's bandits, Xiaoqi and big households began to speak out, scrambling to be the first, fearing that the sale would be late and Wu Nian would not buy their fields.
"Take your time, take your time. My family has plenty of money." Wu Nian smiled and comforted Xiao Qi and the big households, and then asked the housekeeper to move the desk and the four treasures of the study. He immediately wrote the contract and sent it to Baihu Office. transfer.
Now with his status in Baihusuo, this kind of thing can be done on the same day.
Immediately, Wu Nian asked the housekeeper to argue with these people and buy the extra slaves. But he doesn't buy a slave, he buys it for his family.
It is easy for a slave to run away, but it is not easy for a slave to run away with a family.
It didn't take long for these small banners and big bosses to leave the Wu Mansion. All of them looked pale and their hands and feet were weak, as if they had indulged in excessive sexual activities.
But they were relieved again.
This hot potato field was sold, and some of the domestic slaves were also sold. It was replaced with gold and silver, so that when the Meng Yuan people went south, they could go into battle lightly and escape Liaodong quickly.
Thinking this way, they became more energetic.
Many people are still laughing at Wu Nian in their hearts.
We can travel lightly, but what's the use of you, Wu Nian, taking our land at a low price?
Inside the hall. Wu Nian sat on the chair and watched the housekeeper sit on the chair and type the abacus loudly on the desk. When the butler put down his pen, Wu Nian asked with a smile: "How many fields did I buy?"
"A whole three thousand acres." The housekeeper stammered with sweat on his face.
There are only more than 10,000 acres of farmland outside the 100 households in Beishan Fort. Good guy, 30% of them are named Wu.
Today he has learned a lot about what it means to take advantage of others by taking advantage of others.
Wu Nian burst out laughing when he heard this, turned to Zhang Jin beside him and said, "I bought three thousand acres of land for three hundred cents per acre."
"Congratulations, Mr. Xiaoqi." Zhang Jin also burst into laughter and said with cupped fists.
When troubled times come, the brave will be starved to death and the timid will starve to death. These officials deserved to be slaughtered.
"How many slaves are there?" Wu Nian asked again in high spirits.
"There are thirty-eight households in total, with nearly three hundred people." The housekeeper looked down at the records before looking up.
"Now, I have more than a thousand slaves. That's almost half the number of military households in Beishan Castle. But I bought so much land, I really need them to take care of it."
Wu Nian exhaled a breath, feeling very comfortable.
"According to the plan. Go buy cotton seeds immediately. If there is insufficient manpower, ask the military households in Beishan Fort to help with farming. Remember, the wages must be sufficient, and the food should be taken care of. Officials can be bullied, but the common people cannot be bullied."
At the end of his sentence, his face became serious, his eyes glittered as he looked at the housekeeper, and said, "If you dare to do anything small, I will kill you."
"The villain dare not."
Wu Nian was so murderous that the housekeeper could not bear it. He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying that he did not dare.
"Yes." Wu Nian nodded with satisfaction and regained his momentum.
The servants have to beat them frequently, otherwise they will easily deceive the master.
At this moment, a soldier came in supporting a man covered in blood. When Wu Nian and Zhang Jin saw this man, their expressions suddenly changed.
Aren't these the soldiers who followed Li Sheng into the city to buy horses and supplies?
