"No, Dad, you misunderstood me.
I just want to remind you that when the mutual market starts, the piece of wasteland you bought before will no longer be called wasteland, but will increase in price as the mutual market goes on.
You see, the town will no longer sell wasteland on the roadside casually tomorrow. Even if it is sold, it will no longer be at a low price. Once it is done, it will catch up with the price of the real shops in the town, and it will only happen if there are people with connections. Buy it where you plan to. "
Liu Jingye thought to himself: And you hoarded so much all at once, do you know the value of it? With such a big advantage, Zhen Ting would definitely feel regretful and slap his thighs, scolding himself for not purchasing a few acres in advance.
Liu Jingye continued:
"What's even more rare is that there are many benefits to opening a shop in a village. Just like those roadside villages you have seen along the way, allowing merchants to stop and eat in the village. Those villages have not been designated by the court as lowly merchants among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and they are still farmers.
Explain that no matter how many shops you want to build on that wasteland, all those doing business in the shop you sell will be farmers.
Do you understand that because of this difference, and because farmers still earn money, the food shop built on the wasteland in our village will be more popular? Don't sell it randomly! "
Liu Jianye ran around the room in circles, trying to evade Liu Laozhu's pursuit and smash him into pieces to finish his words.
It's just that being able to speak is not as good as being able to listen.
Before Mrs. Xu and his party came back, when Liu Jingye inquired about the situation in the wasteland, Liu Laozhu told his eldest son his inner plan with all his heart:.
"I was able to buy that piece of wasteland. On the one hand, I wanted to help the people in the village and leave a good reputation for our family.
Then I happened to buy so many acres of wasteland. I originally thought: Your brother has always been like a duck in school. It is better to hope for his grandchildren to further his studies. This way, at least he can deceive himself. After all, he may not be able to If you live until the day when your grandchildren take their exams, they won’t be angry to death if they can’t recite water splashes and don’t know.
So I made a plan with your mother before I came here. I wanted to leave two huts and shops in that wasteland for your uncle and your third uncle. If they refuse to take them, I will take them back to your grandparents for their retirement. From now on, our family will cover all your grandma's expenses, so we can no longer burden your uncle.
I will also take advantage of the mutual trade to bring the large animals from your third uncle's shop to my place to sell them on my behalf, helping your third uncle to make some money.
Besides, I want to leave a few rooms for your brother. "
Liu Laozhu said from the bottom of his heart:
"I opened a shop for you in this city a few years ago. You know exactly how much it will cost.
When you came, your mother said, "Your brother will suffer a little, but he will stay by our side, but we don't ask him to have a big future, as long as he has enough to eat and use."
What do you think about leaving a few shops in the village, doing something for yourself, or renting them out, so that he won't be able to support his wife and children when he gets married in a few years? "
After hearing what Liu Jingye said, he said with a smile on his face as if he had said it casually: "Dad, I think it's a bad thing to say. The day the family was separated, it wasn't like this. You can't buy that piece of wasteland as you did when you bought it." If the money is counted, it is said that my brother is at a disadvantage, but why do I feel that it is me who is at a disadvantage?"
At this time, the eldest son of the Liu family analyzed the value of the land again. The more reasonable the analysis was, the more Liu Laozhu became aware that the eldest son was unwilling to accept it and wished he could redivide the land according to the estimated value after appreciation. .
He is not dead yet, so he is scrambling for fear of suffering a loss. The old man in the family is like a big fool. He has never been jealous of his brother's shop in the city in these years.
Liu Laozhu didn't understand. Compared to his eldest brother and third brother, he was already nothing compared to his eldest brother and third brother in terms of supporting the elderly and their brothers and sisters. How could he give birth to someone who was even worse than him?
How could he have thought that his eldest son was smarter than his father before? He was really blind.
This is not about getting angry immediately.
At this time, Liu Laozhu covered his heart and was so angry that he shook his body and cursed: "People are raising children to protect themselves from old age, but I am raising children to protect them from old age!"
I have never been so disappointed. The core of my eldest son is broken. I am even more disappointed than when I didn't chase him to the inn that day and didn't get him straw sandals to put on.
After all, at that time, I was still making excuses for my eldest son. I always thought that my son didn't know anything about him, so I could blame him for being kicked in the head by being nice to the villagers for no reason.
But now that everything was revealed, he came to this conclusion.
The boys in the village couldn't stand it anymore.
Being a straight-forward person, I felt sorry for Uncle Li Zheng who was so angry that he shook him off and said directly: "Get out here and see what you have done these days. Don't think that we don't know that you are causing trouble and not allowing the goods to be purchased. Uncle Li Zheng was almost mad at you."
The one with a relatively mellow temperament also pushed Liu Jingye and said, "Brother Jingye, please go back first. Let's all book this big room together. We want to sleep, so don't make any noise now."
Liu Jingye was not stupid at all. He was chased and beaten in circles by his father and never left the house. He was worried about going outside to argue with his father, in case his father was too old and confused and said something else in his excited words, which was overheard by other people in the inn.
But he really didn't want to leave right now, and he still had a lot of things to say, and they were the most important ones. For example, I want to ask his father:
Where did you get the news about the mutual market and early purchase of wasteland? This person has a lot of connections, and looking at the essence through this matter, this person must have internal relations with the new Zhenbei General's Mansion.
Dad, you must pay attention to getting along well with others, and recommend me later. Don’t be picky. I’ll prepare some gifts here. You can take them back to others as soon as possible. It’s best to mention that I gave them to you. From now on, this will be yours. Brothers should come and go frequently.
That's right, what Liu Jingye wanted to know most was these details, not that he rushed to the inn to treat the villagers to a meal before leaving, as he and his wife said.
What can the villagers ask for? Even if he wanted to make good friends now, in Liu Jingye's opinion, there was no need to spend much money. To put it bluntly, based on his understanding of the villagers' vision, it would be so fun to remember him just by handing out bags of potatoes to each household.
So Liu Jingye didn't want to leave, so he grabbed his Aunt Xu while being pushed.
Now you know how to be polite.
"Auntie, please persuade my father. He doesn't understand what I mean at all. You see, before I finish speaking, he is pouting and scolding me. What is this? You have misunderstood me in the first place. I I came here to explain..."
Xu Youcang suddenly grabbed Liu Jingye and threw him out. Don't drag his mother.
Xu Youcang thought: Don't explain, just listen to what I have to say first.
Xu Laosan said two concise sentences:
"Without my mother, your family would not have known in advance that Xin'er purchased the wasteland."
Seeing Liu Jingye's eyes widening, Xu Youcang didn't understand. Until now, he still looked down on others and didn't believe him. It was obvious that he didn't think down of his family deep down.
However, Xu Laosan didn’t care. The second sentence said:
"Before, Uncle Li Zheng and Aunt Li lent my family a lot of food without saying a word. Our Xu family will always bear this debt to Uncle and Aunt, but now we have paid back not a penny. If you have the written receipt, I hope you will know. Don't do it again Randomly biting my family, borrowing money and not paying it back."
Xu Youcang finished speaking in a serious and honest tone. Compared with the previous scene where Liu Laozhu beat his son randomly, the atmosphere was even stiffer now.
He didn't care. After saying what he said, he escorted his mother and niece back to the small room he paid for.
