After heating breakfast, Xu Ling ate something casually, then pulled the cart to find his father-in-law, Gu Litian.
Gu Litian also got up early and swept the door of his house clean. When Xu Ling arrived, he packed his things and went with him.
The two walked from Lianhuawanzi to Erfang Town for more than an hour. Xu Ling didn't know where Yang Tao's home was, so he went directly to Sun Baoyao's home to look for someone.
Early in the morning, Sun Baoyao happened to be having dinner at home and had not yet gone to the Yamen. When he heard that Xu Ling was coming, he quickly went out to greet him.
"Brother Xu! Are you back so soon?" Sun Baoyao was happy and surprised. He originally thought that Xu Ling would have to wait until the next year to come back, but he didn't expect that he would do something good so soon.
Inviting Xu Ling and Gu Litian to sit down in the hall, serving tea and water, Xu Ling said with a smile: "I am doing something for Brother Sun, how can I delay it? No, I just came back the day before yesterday, and I came right away to do something good. "
"That's good. Brother Xu is thinking of me, and Master and I are also thinking of you. Don't you want to buy land? I have told your father-in-law, he should have told me, right?"
The two of them went back and forth, chatting for a long time, almost delaying Sun Baoyao's time. Xu Ling took out the money given to Sun Baoyao. The original twenty taels turned into forty taels, and only half of the time had passed. Months of work, my God, it’s faster than giving birth!
Sun Baoyao couldn't hold off the joy on his face and asked Xu Ling to go to the Yamen with him so that he could hand over the land deed to Xu Ling.
This was what Xu Ling had in mind. He wanted land, and he couldn't do it without the title deed. It was for no reason that the two masters and apprentices had taken control of him.
What's more, it would be better to hand over the money earned to Yang Tao to Yang Tao himself.
Xu Ling asked his father-in-law to wait outside the yamen. Sun Baoyao took him into the yamen. Yang Tao was sitting in a side room drinking tea. A charcoal stove was burning in the room. Several yamen were playing with the dice clock and yawning. Sun Baoyao came and quickly took care of him to replace him so that he could go home and sleep.
Xu Ling stood aside and observed these yamen cadres, and saw that they were all of strange shapes, tall, short, fat and thin. Sun Baoyao and Yang Tao seemed to be in the category of normal yamen cadres.
When Yang Tao saw him, he couldn't speak easily and only jokingly urged others to go home quickly.
A fat official noticed Xu Ling: "Brother Sun, who is this?"
"It's nothing to ask my master to do something."
"Oh!" The fat man showed a tacit smile, patted Xu Ling's shoulder, opened his mouth, and smelled the stench of death.
Xu Ling held his breath, his expression unchanged, and waited for two of those people to go home. One of them went to sleep in the barracks at the back. Only they and Yang Tao's master and apprentice were left in the room. Yang Tao then invited him to sit down and drink tea.
Xu Ling took out his wallet, pushed it in front of Yang Tao, and said with a smile: "Uncle Yang, this is your money."
Yang Tao smiled and said nothing, touched his purse, and a look of surprise flashed across his face, "You kid, you are really the God of Wealth!"
Xu Ling rubbed his head in embarrassment, "Thanks to Uncle Yang and Brother Sun. Thanks to you, I'm lucky this time and I've made a little profit. I'll give you a little extra to make up for the good luck."
"Oh? How can you be so embarrassed? I asked you to do this for the sake of the child Baoyao and you. I have no intention of taking advantage of you. You are making it difficult for me. Take it away! "
Yang Tao, an old guy, actually pretended to be with Xu Ling.
Xu Ling felt funny in his heart. He didn't give these two people much at all. He used their money to open a shop. With the money earned from the shop, he went to Yazhou to get a boat and laborers. All of a sudden, his difficulties were put to good use. .
A small lever is used to pry a big ship, and giving Master and Disciple Yang Tao this little money is not a big thank you.
But you still have to say it beautifully.
"Uncle Yang, please don't! This is a little bit of filial piety from me. You have worked so hard to help me, just treat it like I'm giving you an early New Year's greeting! If you really come back, how can Bao Yao and I still call each other brothers?"
Yang Tao didn't really want to refuse. Seeing that Xu Ling said it sincerely, he reluctantly accepted it.
Sun Baoyao thought to himself that it was Xu Ling who added money to it. No wonder he got so much in such a short time.
"Baoyao, if you take Xu Ling to find the chief registrar, it's still the same as before."
"Yes, Master."
Sun Baoyao took Xu Ling out. After walking out for a while, Xu Ling asked, "Isn't there a bookkeeper in the Yamen?"
"Hey, it wasn't there before, it was just a few days ago."
Oh, just now, so why did Yang Tao ask him to raise money? Xu Ling made a circle in his mind and realized that the two masters and apprentices may not have any intention of being the chief of the book. If someone promotes his own nephew, it will be useless for you, an outsider, to pay more money!
They co-authored these two things just to rip off his money!
His grandfather's, the alternative two-way rush belongs to is.
The new chief clerk's surname was Yang. He looked a bit cowardly and started making sarcastic remarks. When Sun Baoyao arrived, he didn't say any polite words and just asked him to mark out the title deeds of the lands that Xu Ling had originally chosen.
Xu Ling smiled at the side, called Sun Baoyao, and stuffed another ingot of silver into his pocket.
Sun Baoyao's mind paused for a moment and his words paused. When he opened his mouth again, he said out of nowhere: "Give him all these pieces of land that no one wants. They are idle anyway."
The chief clerk glanced at Sun Baoyao and Xu Ling in surprise. These lands were all considered farmland in the town and belonged to the people in the military camp. However, in the past few years, the military masters had been too lazy to plant them. If they were abandoned, they could not be given to others!
"But……"
"Stop it!" Sun Baoyao said impatiently, "Just listen to my master and everything will be fine!"
The chief clerk lowered his head and said nothing, and began to do things.
After half a stick of incense, Xu Ling put a stack of papers into his sleeves with a kind smile on his face, "Brother Sun, I want to thank you very much. When will you ask me to invite you to a restaurant for a drink again?"
Sun Baoyao scratched his neck, "You boy, there have been too many drinking parties recently, and some of them can't bear to eat. You can save it and invite me next year. But brother, I still have something to trouble you..."
When Xu Ling came out of the Yamen, the forty taels of silver given to Sun Baoyao came back to him.
He crossed the high threshold of the Yamen and took a deep breath. Gu Litian, who was under the Yuanchu tree, quickly came over and asked, "How are you doing?"
Xu Ling shook his head and indicated that the Yamen was behind him.
The two of them pulled the car farther, and Xu Lingcai took out the pile of land deeds he was carrying to show his father-in-law.
"so much?"
"There are twenty acres more land than before," Xu Ling whispered.
He originally thought that by temporarily buying Sun Baoyao, he could get a few more acres of land, but he didn't expect that Sun Baoyao would just give him 20 acres for free, which was still farmland.
This dynasty has a customary law on military camps and farming. Soldiers have to cultivate land and prepare their own food and grass. This was originally a good idea, but over the years, it has changed its taste and become a field that can be bought and sold at will.
Xu Ling specifically asked for a piece of land close to Lianhua Bay. Even if something happened, he had the land deed given by the government office, and Sun Baoyao and his apprentice would stand in the way even if the sky fell.
But Xu Ling didn't expect that Sun Baoyao was even more greedy than Yang Tao, and wanted to ask him to use money to give birth to more money.
Hey, it’s so heartless.
