Zhao Teng got the news as soon as Wei Zhang entered Xianyang City, and then arranged for Wei Zhang to be sent to the post house. Eighty-eight reading, o
During this process, Zhao Teng saw Wei Zhang's chariots and horses and countless servants. I couldn't help but be speechless.
After Wei Zhang was settled, Zhao Teng led his people out. On the way, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "This Wei Zhang is just a low-ranking figure among the powerful, but he shows up in such a big way."
The steward next to him smiled and said, "The extravagant customs of the Six Kingdoms are very different from ours. Moreover, the laws of the Six Kingdoms are lax, and these somewhat powerful people are occupying acres of land and amassing wealth. Naturally, the ostentation is bigger."
While the two were talking about this, Wei Jia, Wei Zhang's housekeeper, ran out.
He saluted Zhao Teng and said with a flattering smile on his face, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Zhao today. Mr. Zhao has a high position and is so powerful that he actually greeted my master in person. The master is very grateful. There were many Qin officials in the post house just now, talking. It’s inconvenient. My master will definitely come to visit you someday to say thank you. It’s just a small gift, I hope Mr. Zhao won’t find it objectionable.”
After saying that, Wei Jia stuffed something into Zhao Teng's sleeve and hurried back.
Zhao Teng took out the thing and found that it was a piece of crystal clear jade. If you only look at the quality and not the carving, you will know that this thing is priceless.
The steward said next to him, "It's just a meeting gift, but it's already so valuable. This Wei Zhang is really generous."
Zhao Teng nodded. He turned around and looked at the inn, and suddenly said leisurely, "Would such a wealthy person live in an inn?"
"The post house is quite spacious now, but in the future when the powerful powers from the six countries arrive one after another, it will definitely become crowded. A Wei Zhang has to show off, but what about the others? Are they willing to squeeze in here?"
"Huai Guzi, you are such a smart man. Sometimes I wonder if he is really an immortal from heaven. Otherwise, why would he have the upper hand?"
The housekeeper was still a little confused and asked doubtfully, "What do you mean, sir?"
Zhao Teng said, "In less than three days, Wei Zhang must buy a house in Xianyang City. He does not like ordinary houses. And the big houses in the city are all in the hands of Huaiguzi."
The housekeeper's eyes widened, "My father-in-law Wei is willing to pay such a high price to buy Huaiguzi's mansion."
Zhao Teng chuckled, "It's such a beautiful piece of jade as soon as it's sold. Why wouldn't he agree? I've seen the luxury of the six countries today."
The steward suddenly said, "Sir, Huaiguzi only has nearly a hundred mansions in his hands. The six countries are powerful, but they far exceed this number. We might as well take the opportunity to acquire a number of mansions. Since the mansions in the city are gone, it is better to acquire those outside the city. 9 8989 read 9 books, and by 23o, you will also make a fortune."
Zhao Teng smiled and shook his head, "No. If the mystery is revealed in the future, the courtiers will think that I have colluded with Huaiguzi to do this together."
"Many people in the city recently said that I am an accomplice of Huaiguzi. It's too late for me to avoid him. Please don't get involved in this matter."
The housekeeper said with some regret, "It's a pity, it's a pity. A golden mountain is right in front of you, but you can't take it."
Zhao Teng chuckled and said, "Money is just a trivial matter. With my current status, if you want money, it's not a matter of just a word. If you lose this position for money, you won't be able to keep the money you get, then you will sacrifice your first and second to the last."
The housekeeper nodded sincerely, "Your Majesty."
In Li Xin's mansion. Li Xin is not at home. Mrs. Li is chatting with Xinji.
These two people are known as good sisters. But as soon as they meet, they start to compare with each other. You come and I go, the fight is so lively.
Xinji just got some news today, so she excitedly told Mrs. Li.
Xinji said, "I heard that your family, Li Xin, sold the house to Huaiguzi."
Mrs. Li almost spit out blood. She was angry about this. She had already asked the housekeeper to call Li Xin back. But Li Xin didn't know where he was hiding, and no one could be found at all.
But in front of the sisters, Mrs. Li couldn't lose. She smiled slightly and said, "I heard that your family, Zhou Zheng, also sold the house to Huaiguzi."
Xinji said, "That's different. Our family, Zhou Zheng, originally had little contact with Huaiguzi, so he was tricked by him. You, Li Xin, are different. You hang out with him all day long, and you actually fell into trouble. Alas. , this locust millet is really easy to kill."
Mrs. Li was extremely angry, but she couldn't show it on her face. She said lightly, "My husband's business with Huaiguzi is different from other families. It seems like he sold the house, but in fact he made money back very quickly."
Xin Ji chuckled and asked, "How soon does it mean?"
Mrs. Li said calmly, "A month or two."
Xin Ji hummed and said, "In a month or two, you will be rich. By then, don't forget me."
Seeing her sarcastic remarks, Mrs. Li held her breath and said, "Okay, when I become rich, I will definitely pay you a visit."
Xin Ji saw that Mrs. Li was getting anxious, so she smiled slightly and left.
Mrs. Li was sulky for a while, called Li Jia over, and shouted, "Have you found Li Xin yet?"
Li Jia laughed dryly and said, "We have searched all over Xianyang City, but we haven't found it yet."
Mrs. Li said angrily, "How dare you lie to me that Li Xin is hiding in Shangjun Courtyard and is difficult to find? Go and call him in Shangjun Courtyard. Tell him that if he doesn't come back, he won't have to go home in the future." "
Li Jia's scalp felt numb after hearing this, and he didn't want to go home.
Li Xin is indeed in Shangjun Courtyard. He asked Li Shui, "Brother Huai, don't lie to me. You can really make money this way."
Li Shui said, "Then there is still time for you to wait. Within a month, I will make you as rich as anyone in the country."
Li Xin chuckled, "As long as you can be as rich as the country, that's all. As long as you can leave a family fortune to your children and grandchildren. In the future, if your children and grandchildren have skills, everything will be easy. If you don't have skills, you won't starve and suffer from poverty."
Li Shui said, "Speaking of descendants, Brother Li, you are not young anymore, don't you have one and a half boys?"
Li Xin looked at Li Shui in confusion, "Don't you know? I have a son who is eighteen years old and is training in the Southern Army. I told you."
Li Shui patted his forehead, laughed dryly, and said, "I forgot about it for a while."
Li Xin didn't care either. He patted Li Shui on the shoulder and said, "Brother Huai, my fortune and life all depend on you."
Li Shui said, "Don't worry, if you really lose, I will help you raise your wife and children."
Li Xin shook his head and said, "No need."
Li Shui laughed loudly and said to Niu Dao and Cang Fu behind him, "Go quickly and help General Li buy back all the mansions outside Xianyang City."
Cano and the calf left happily.
Although the money is not theirs, even though the house they bought is not theirs either. But this feeling of spending money is really good.
After sending away Cang Fu and others, Li Shui began to write a memorial. After finishing it, he handed it to Li Xin, "Brother Li, please look at it for me. Are there any typos?"
Li Xin looked at it for a while and said, "There are a few, but it doesn't affect the meaning."
Li Shui said, "That's fine."
He called Wu Jiao over and asked him to send the memorial to the palace immediately.
As a result, just after Wujiao left, Li Jia came. After he saw Li Xin, he repeated what Mrs. Li said with an embarrassed look on his face.
Li Xin sighed and said to Li Shui, "Brother Huai, it seems that Shang Jun's Courtyard is no longer safe."
Li Shui said, "It doesn't matter, haven't we bought a lot of houses recently? You can just hide away."
Li Xin said with a sad face, "That's not what I'm afraid of. I'm just afraid that as time goes by, my wife will get angrier as she waits. Even if she goes back with her wealth, it will be too late."
Li Shui looked at him sympathetically, "Then take care."
Li Xin rode his horse and left Shangjun Courtyard three times with one step. When he arrived at the door of his house, he refused to go in, so he stood outside and said, "Go tell Madam that I'm back."
The porter immediately ran off.
After a while, Mrs. Li came out with a whip.
Li Xin seemed to have expected this, and said loudly, "Your Majesty summons me to the palace, I will come as soon as I go." Then, he flicked his whip and ran away.
"Haha, showing up like this every day can be considered a good deal." Li Xin smiled proudly, rode a horse in a circle around Xianyang City, and then left the city again.
Ying Zheng had already seen Li Shui's memorial. After reading it for a while, he nodded slightly, "What Huai Guzi said makes sense. I'm sure."
The memorial said that there were too many dignitaries in Xianyang City. What these noble people like most is to build houses. The house occupies a very large area and contains countless pavilions and pavilions.
In this case, how can we not invade the farmland in Guanzhong?
Agriculture is the foundation of the world. Therefore, Li Shui suggested Ying Zheng. Immediately investigate the farmland near Xianyang. Land is divided into two types: farmland and residential land.
Based on this standard, no further encroachment is allowed on existing cultivated land. If there are special circumstances to occupy cultivated land, it will also require approval from the court at all levels.
In this way, arable land will be guaranteed, food will be guaranteed, and the world will be stable.
This memorial is deeply affectionate and carries the banner of caring for the people. Ying Zheng quickly agreed and ordered people to immediately start inspecting the farmland.
After the news came out, the civil and military officials in the court were a little surprised by this. Why does Li Shui suddenly care so much about the people of Li?
Their first reaction was that Li Shui had changed his ways and was finally converted.
But past experience told them that it was not that simple. This guy Li Shui must be holding back his bad intentions.
However, after much thought, the courtiers did not think there was any harm in this policy. Ensuring the supply of farmland can indeed stabilize the world. After the initial doubts, the courtiers gradually began to believe that this time, Li Shui might really want to do something good.
Whether it's because of an uneasy conscience or fear of being reviled by everyone. He is willing to do good things, which is a good sign after all.
As a result, within a few days, Li Shui's reputation actually showed a slight upward trend. Of course, progress is due to low standards. Now when everyone mentions Li Shui, their first reaction is to roll their eyes. 11
