What an unexpected surprise.
Who would have thought that fifty taels can buy two mines!
Or a salt mine!
This is such a surprise.
However, Li Xiao pretended to be heartbroken and said: "Can it be less?"
Zhang Maojin's hand holding the cane was trembling a little, and he said anxiously: "Young man, why did you regret the price you paid yourself so quickly?"
Li Xiaonian muttered: "Who would have thought that you would agree so happily..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Maojin also felt that he was careless.
There should be some prevarication first, and finally the deal is settled at fifty taels.
Who asked the other party to pay such a high price? I was a little excited for a while.
Zhu Gaoxu on the side shouted: "What a broken mountain, it costs fifty taels. In my opinion, ten taels is too much."
Zhu Gaoxu spoke the truth.
Because the salt in this mine is poisonous and the ore cannot be used as stone, it is really worthless.
If he didn't believe that his brother-in-law said it would be of great use, he wouldn't have given it to him for free.
"Why is it called Broken Mountain?"
Zhang Maojin frowned and said, "This is a family property passed down from our ancestors. If you think it's expensive, please take it back."
At the same time, he kept secretly watching the two of them from the corner of his eye.
If he wanted to leave, he would just let it go and it would be ten taels cheaper...
After all, his original psychological price was twenty taels.
Li Xiao didn't like to bargain, so he was bored with a few taels. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, fifty taels is fifty taels."
Zhu Gaoxu was also a wealthy man and didn't care about the silver coins. He held hands and didn't say much.
"My little brother is really sharp-eyed, my salt mine is a good mountain..."
While Zhang Maojin was saying beautiful words, he was thinking in his heart, these two are really two fools, and spending fifty taels to buy some useless things is really a fool.
If the salt mine can really produce salt, will I sell it to you for fifty taels?
Zhang Maojin suddenly thought, if these two fools really poisoned people with salt from the salt mine, would they implicate themselves? Put yourself in court?
An agreement must be signed.
But first, we need to sign the sales contract to avoid scaring others.
Think of this.
He quickly took out the land deed and contract and said: "Let's sign the contract first and make an agreement first... I only need cash..."
Zhu Gaoxu took out a bag of silver and slapped it on the table.
Zhang Maojin immediately picked up the small scale and weighed fifty taels, which was correct, and then grinned.
"Then let's sign the white contract first."
Zhang Maojin hurriedly drafted a contract, which included the location, four boundaries, etc.
Soon, both parties signed a white contract.
A deed made without official verification is called a white deed.
You also need to go to the county government office to handle the transfer of ownership and taxes, register it in the register, and stamp it with a seal. It becomes a red deed and is protected by law.
After signing the white contract, the matter was settled. Zhang Maojin took out another piece of paper with a smile and said:
"Let's also make a contract privately... The ugly thing is at the beginning. I sold the salt mine to you. From now on, it has nothing to do with me. I will not be responsible for anything that happens."
The old man was very shrewd, so he signed the contract before mentioning it, so as not to scare others.
But Li Xiao didn't care. After reading the contract, he thought it was okay.
The above content is to brush the old man clean. If the salt he made poisons someone, he will not be responsible.
Li Xiao waved his hand and said: "That's natural, no problem, sign it!"
"readily!"
Zhang Maojin was so happy.
These fifty taels of silver were like pie from the sky.
That's it.
The two parties went to the county government again.
This old man was a local squire, and he had someone in the county government office, so things were handled very smoothly.
The title deed was quickly stamped with Li Xiao's name.
"It's a deal! Little brother, you are so refreshing. Please say goodbye."
Outside the county government office, the old man left happily.
"Brother-in-law, I feel that the price is too high. I guess he has no intention of selling this broken mountain for fifty taels."
Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about the silver coins.
It's just that the other party is so happy, which makes him a little unhappy.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. We made a profit."
Li Xiao smiled and said: "Fifty taels buys two mountains, this is a good deal!"
"Then, what should we do next?"
"Of course, go and have a look at the mine. It belongs to us."
soon,
The two rode horses again and arrived at the mine they had just bought.
The mine is almost five miles away from Dadongzhuang.
The two mines are connected together and cover an area of nearly a thousand acres.
It looks like it can be mined for more than a hundred years.
After walking around in a circle, Li Xiao probably had an idea.
Li Xiao took out a piece of paper and handed it over:
"Gao Xu, send someone to buy these things and bring them directly to the mine."
"In addition, call some craftsmen to build a factory at this location, that's it..."
Li Xiao carefully arranged the matter for Zhu Gaoxu.
I have such a good brother, so I don’t need him in vain.
Zhu Gaoxu has no official position, so he is idle when he is idle.
"This matter is all on me."
Zhu Gaoxu patted his chest and asked, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"
"I'm going back to my hometown first. Someone needs to keep an eye on things in the mine. I have a trustworthy friend over there who called over to help."
"Okay, let's do it."
That's it.
The two parted ways.
Li Xiao rode his horse and galloped all the way towards his hometown of Dashukou Village.
I didn't walk home until it was dark.
"It's been a while since I've been back here...things in the world are unpredictable..."
Li Xiao felt a little emotional.
The changes in these days have been huge. I went from being a farmer to Prince Yan in the blink of an eye.
"Brother Xiao! Oh my god, this is a good horse!"
Li Xiongzhi, who was wandering at the entrance of the village, was preparing to catch fish secretly.
As a result, I saw a man riding a horse walking towards the entrance of the village.
Taking a closer look, it was Li Xiao who had not been seen for several days!
He also changed his clothes and rode a tall horse!
This style, tsk tsk tsk!
In ancient times, horses were not cheap, just like cars.
Especially Li Xiao's dark horse.
It is a fine horse from Prince Yan's palace, a proper Lamborghini-level sports car.
"Xiao Zhi, what a coincidence, I'm looking for you."
"Go and bring some good fodder and soybeans to my house and help me feed the horses."
"The horse has been running all day and is hungry."
With that said, Li Xiao raised the horse's rope, and the horse roared.
He ran towards his old house.
Looking at Li Xiao's leaving figure, Li Xiongzhi was filled with envy.
"No way...are you really going to let him marry the princess?"
"This is... so majestic!"
"I must hug this thigh..."
Thinking of this, Li Xiongzhi also hurried back home.
After getting some good fodder and soybeans, I went to Li Xiao's house.
"Brother Xiao, your horse is so good..."
Li Xiongzhi came to Li Xiao's gate and carefully fed the horses with fodder and soybeans.
"what is this."
Li Xiao smiled and put incense on his parents' spiritual tablets in the thatched house.
"Dad, Mom, the child is going to be successful."
"Now I still have a big business. When I make a lot of money, I will come back to see you two..."
Li Xiao bowed and put the incense on the incense burner.
Outside the house, Li Xiongzhi’s ears were always perked.
When I heard that there was a big business, everyone became energetic.
He walked in respectfully and said:
"Brother Xiao...what, there's a big deal, take your brother with you."
"We have been playing together since childhood. Now that you have become rich, don't forget your brother..."
"During your absence, some people tried to take advantage of your land, but I scolded them all."
Li Xiao looked slightly surprised: "You still helped me with this?"
"you do not say!"
Li Xiongzhi said indignantly: "As for the eldest son of Lao Litou, his field is next to yours. When he noticed that you were not there, he wanted to sneak in a few fields. I saw him and I scolded him on the spot. "
