Zhao Siniang came in from the outside, and she was very happy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Red Line sat under the grape trellis in the courtyard, and was reporting to Cui Yingying.

"There are too many people who want to sell land and houses, and they all come to register, there are thousands of them, and we can't collect so much."

"So many?"

Zhao Siniang walked over and also sat down at the stone table under the grape trellis, "No, last time we recruited troops, we raised three thousand in the workshop alone, and we also raised several hundred." As she spoke, she opened her account book, and more than 3,000 of the more than 3,000 people who died in the war were left in the Longyou Prefectures as government soldiers.

Although there are only 1,500 Bashang children in Taozhou as government soldiers, the other family members of the government soldiers who stayed in Longyou in Bashang also asked the Zhang family to sell land and houses.

More than 3,000 people, even if many of them have sons left behind, leaving their family property to their sons. However, there are still no less than 2,000 households who want to sell their houses and move their families to Taozhou.

2,000 households, even if the average household is 20 acres of land, and the average price is 3 acres of land, that is 40,000 acres of land, which is worth 120,000 yuan. And that's not even counting their houses, their homesteads, their furniture, their trees. Odds and ends, if you buy them all, it is estimated that you will need more than 100,000 yuan.

Hundreds of thousands, the Zhang family definitely doesn't have so much money, and the Zhang family can't even take out 10,000 yuan in cash.

"Or, those old houses, old furniture, and trees will not be harvested first, and only the fields?" Zhao Siniang asked. Undoubtedly, the most valuable thing in the hands of the displaced people is the land.

This is also a rare opportunity to buy land, and if it is not for relocation, it is difficult to encounter so many fields for sale.

"Isn't there anyone else willing to buy land and a house?" Cui Yingying asked. This is a rare opportunity, and not everyone in Bashang wants to move to Longyou, and most of them remain. For example, those soldiers on the Ba Shang, and many people still want to live here, don't they want to buy some land?

"Of course, there are, but many people are not as generous as our Zhang family, and they all deliberately lower the price. If we bid for five runs, they will bid four or even three and a half times at most. The price of these houses is lower, so everyone is lining up to sell to our Zhang family! ”

Cui Yingying smiled helplessly, the Zhang family didn't know that this was an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to lower prices. But in Zhang Chao's letter, he specifically stated that he should not do such a thing. Instead, confess, be fair, and even add some money. Despite this, the land bought by the Zhang family will not be lost, but it is indeed a little upright.

But Cui Yingying knew that her husband also had her husband's considerations.

Today, the Zhang family has thousands of acres of land and a lot of wealth, and they are not so short of money. If you want to make money, there are many opportunities, and if you want to buy land, there are also opportunities. What the Zhang family wants is not only money and land, but family reputation.

Especially now, Cui Yingying also knows the prince's attitude towards her husband, and she knows more and more that there can be nothing to give people a handle at this time. I'd rather make less money than have a bad reputation.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if the price is higher and you buy less land.

But now the people want to sell all the land to the Zhang family, which is a troublesome matter. The Zhang family can't collect so much, and they can't collect so much land.

Originally, Cui Yingying planned to buy a thousand acres of land this time, but now it seems that the people on the Ba want to sell the land to the Zhang family.

"Those people are really, they are usually villagers in the village, but now they have to take advantage of the fire to rob." Zheng Hongxian said dissatisfiedly.

"I can't say that, everyone is almost the same, of course I want to use it if I have the opportunity, besides, everyone doesn't have much money in their hands, and it's not easy to come up with some money to buy two or three acres of land."

"So what to do now, no matter how we explain it, they won't listen, they have to sell us the land."

Cui Yingying thought for a while, "In this way, I will go to Chang'an, visit my father-in-law and uncle's house, and those noble families who have a good relationship with our family, and see if they are willing to collect some land together." ”

Cui Yingying packed up and called a carriage to go to Chang'an.

And the people sent by Li Chonggao and Wang Yongan to collect the land took a turn on the ba, but there was no harvest. Many people have already sold their land to the Zhang family, and many others refuse to sell it to them even though the land has not been sold. Because the price they offered was basically only half of the Zhang family!

After spending half a day of hard work, but without the slightest result, the group returned to Chang'an with resentment towards the Zhang family.

"Are you saying that no one on the Ba side wants to sell us land?"

"Yes, it's all the Zhang family, and the price they pay is double ours."

Wang Yongan sneered and said, "There must be tens of thousands of acres of land to be sold, right, can the Zhang family eat it?" ”

"But those people would rather hold the ground in their hands than sell it to us."

Li Chonggao hated the Zhang family, but also was a little afraid, last time Zhang Chao made his family miserable, he didn't want to fight against the Zhang family.

"Forget it, anyway, there are more than 10,000 households in Chang'an who are going to move to Longyou this time, is it possible that every family has to sell their land to the Zhang family? If you can't do it, let's go to Jingyang, go to Xianyang, go to Liyang to harvest, and we can always receive the land. ”

Li Chonggao had already calculated that there were many families to relocate, and there would be a lot of land to be sold, and there were more than 100,000 or 200,000 mu of land for sale casually, and they couldn't eat so much land, so it was enough to take a part of it, and it didn't matter if there was no one.

It's just that things are not as simple as Li Chonggao thought.

Soon, people who went to Xianyang, Jingyang, Liyang, Xinfeng, Huxian and other places also returned, and they did not buy land.

Originally, some people had agreed, but when they heard that the land on the Ba Shang could be sold for three or four per acre, they regretted it again. They have to be at the same price as Ba Shang, and they are not willing to sell their land, they have to sell their land, and they have to buy their old houses, old furniture, and trees in their homestead and so on. ”

"These cottage hillbillies!"

Li Chonggao couldn't help but be angry, he just wanted to buy land, if those old furniture in the broken cave could be collected cheaper, it would be okay. But he would never want to sell the bag to him at such a high price.

"The Zhang family is deliberately unable to get along with us, right?"

Wang Yongan laughed twice, "The Zhang family is having trouble with everyone." This time, so many people moved to Longyou, and there are hundreds of thousands of acres of land to buy at once, who is not moved by the whole Chang'an, who is not waiting to divide this piece of fat? But now? The Zhang family offered such high conditions, isn't this the enemy of all those who want to carve up this piece of fat? ”

"He's killing himself!" Wang Yongan sneered.

"So what do we do?" Li Chonggao asked.

"Don't worry, we'll just wait to see the show and see how his Zhang family ends. With so much land, did he collect it from the Zhang family? If the price is opened, but the land cannot be collected, and those people will block the Zhang family at that time, then it will be good-looking. ”

Changan.

The Xingyang County Mansion has just been replaced by the Zheng Guo Mansion, and Zheng Shanguo has just been promoted to the title of Zheng Guogong, and there are 500 true seals.

In the flower hall, Zheng Shanguo looked at his niece and sighed a little.

"You're giving it too little thought."

"This time it's not just one household, two households, or even ten households and 100 households, this is the relocation of tens of thousands of households to Longyou, involving hundreds of thousands of acres of land. Hundreds of thousands of acres of land for sale, or Gyeonggi land, you should know how tempting it is. How many people are staring at this piece of fat, and how many people want to take the opportunity to lower the price, but now the Zhang family has offered such high conditions? Do you know that those immigrants in Gyeonggi are now unwilling to sell their land, and they all offer to sell the price offered by the Zhang family, and if they want to sell their land, they have to buy all their houses, furniture, trees, etc. according to the Zhang family's method, and the price is also according to yours. Do you know how many people the Zhang family offended at once? ”

Those who want to buy land and have the money to buy land are all wealthy families in Chang'an and even relatives and nobles of the imperial family.

They have money, but that doesn't mean they're willing to pay a premium price.

Even if the price offered by the Zhang family is only a market price.

But the Zhang family's behavior, in the eyes of these people, is a violation of the rules.

"Do you know, no one in Chang'an City is willing to bid like the Zhang family now."

Cui Yingying was helpless, "We just want to do something good." ”

"Good things don't work that way." Zheng Shanguo also sighed.

"So what now? The Zhang family said that they would not take the land, or would they reduce the price? ”

"If the Zhang family really does this, it will be discredited. Forget it, I'll get in touch and see how many people are willing to do it together. ”

"Then I'll also go and contact the lower wing of the country and ask them to help."

Zheng Shanguo nodded, if it was only the Zhang family, it would definitely be difficult to end this time. But if the Zheng family can unite the big family, and Cui Yingying can contact Qin Qiong and other nobles to make a move, and together according to the conditions of the Zhang family, the land will be recovered at the same time.

Then we can change the current situation.

"It's so hard to do something good." Cui Yingying sighed before leaving.

"That's how it is a lot of the time."

Wang Yongan and Li Chonggao have been paying close attention to the movements of the Zhang family, and many people like them are also paying attention to the development of things. They are all waiting for the Zhang family to be unable to end and their reputation will be discredited, and then they will be able to enter the field to harvest.

"Lang Jun, it's not good, the Zheng family has made a move!"

A steward ran in to report and told them the bad news that Zheng Guogong and Zheng Shanguo had made a move and bought thousands of acres of land directly in Xianyang.

"The Zheng family made a move?"

"Yes, it is the land that was bought according to the conditions of the Zhang family, and the land was bought and the house furniture and trees were bought, and the price was according to the Zhang family."

"Really?"

"The contract has been signed, and the bank tickets of Zhang Ji Qian Zhuang were directly given, and many of those who sold the land have taken money from Zhang Ji Qian Zhuang."

Li Chonggao's face was gloomy.

A thousand acres of land is not much, but the trouble is that there are people who support the Zhang family.

"Don't worry, there is only one Zheng family, it's just a thousand acres of land, and it won't change anything."

But it didn't take long for someone to report again.

"The Yiguo Mansion made a move and bought 3,000 acres of land in Liyang."

3,000 acres of land, if you add houses, etc., it is estimated that it will cost no less than 20,000 yuan. Although Qin Qiong, the Duke of Yiguo, is an upstart, he may not be able to come up with so much money at once, but the Duke of Yiguo is now married to His Majesty's fifth daughter, Princess Changguang. They are not bad for money, 20,000 yuan is really nothing, Qin Qiong and Zhang Chao partner in business, and they make a lot of money.

Wang Yongan's face was ugly, and things were a little out of control.

Sure enough, there was bad news one after another that day.

Pei Guogong Zheng Yuanxuan, Shu Guogong Li Gai, Cao Guogong Li Shiji and other more than a dozen nobles of the noble family have all made a move, some bought four or five hundred acres, and some bought thousands of acres.

And then Princess Pingyang, Princess Changsha, Princess Gaomi and other princesses also made a move, and each family bought three or four thousand acres.

In the evening, worse news came.

King Qin directly bought 5,000 acres of land on Ba, and those civil and military people in King Qin's mansion also took action, dozens of acres, hundreds of acres, and thousands of acres.

"Oh no, the land is going to be bought out!"

waited for the Zhang family to be unable to close the game by themselves, so they entered the market again, bargained for the price, and made a lot of money.

But now, so many people have entered the market and bought tens of thousands of acres of land at once, which is already a mess. The small landlords, the yeoman farmers, also panicked.

With the little money in his hand, you have ten acres and he has two acres, and he quickly began to buy, buy, buy, buy.

Although they have less money, they add up to a lot.

In three days, in just three days, more than half of the fields have been bought.

"Are we waiting?"

Wang Yongan couldn't hold his breath anymore, and if he waited any longer, he would have no soup to drink.

Originally, I just wanted to eat fatty meat and didn't want to gnaw bones, but now, the situation is different.

"Buy!"

There are only so many fields, and the opportunity is rare, not common. If it weren't for the migration to Longyou to the real side this time, where would Gyeonggi be so sold. Most of the land is divided into fields, not immigrants, and this divided land is not allowed to be bought and sold.

Even if the nobles are wealthy, they can only watch and not eat.

It's just that when they sell again, the good land has already been sold.

If they want to buy, they can only come according to the conditions of the Zhang family, and when they buy land, they have to pack and buy other old houses and broken furniture.

On average, an acre of land gets five or six dollars.

"No, we only accept cash, and when we see the money, we sign the contract."

Wang Yongan wanted to buy more land, but he didn't have much cash in his hand. If you buy a thousand acres, plus those rags, you will have to pay five or six thousand yuan.

Wang Yongan hoped to pay part of it in advance, but unfortunately his request was directly refused.

"The Zhang family is all paid in cash, in full."

"It's either cash or Zhang Kee's banker ticket!"

Wang Yongan's face turned blue with anger, but those hillbillies knew that the Zhang family and the Zhang family did not see the cash or the banker tickets opened by Zhang Ji, so they didn't sign the contract at all.

Whatever you say, it's just not going to work.

But Wang Yongan was reluctant to give up, even at the current price, it was not a loss to buy it. This is Gyeonggi land, and the further back it goes, the more valuable it becomes.

Even if it is the rags that are collected, if you spend a little more time, you can sell it and make some money.

In the end, Wang Yongan had to move from east to west, but in the end he only bought 1,000 acres of land, which was too far from what he originally expected.

"Zhang San of **** Ma, who is far away in Taozhou, can still stir up the wind and rain in Chang'an." Wang Yongan scolded hatefully, but after scolding, he had to be convinced, this bastard always has such a ability.

But he thought about it again, this bastard didn't know how many good things of the wealthy family had been ruined this time, and so many wealthy families had spent more money and made a lot less money, and he must have been hated.

Someday, this bastard will have to pay for it.

It's just that when he turned his head and thought that he had bought countless less land this time, he couldn't help but be depressed in his heart, damn Zhang San. (To be continued.) )
