Chapter 13: Lantian Old House

Li Shimin's expression changed several times, he took a deep breath, and finally spoke: "Do you want to exchange the official position from the Nine Rank Doctor to a monetary reward?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Now that he has said it, Li Hao is shameless and admits it calmly.

Li Shimin asked curiously: "Didn't I already reward you with a thousand yuan?" ”

The corners of Li Hao's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say: "You give you too little, is this an emperor who can handle it, and it's not too cold." ”

However, he didn't have the courage, so he could only say helplessly: "Back to Your Majesty, grass people...... Greed for money. ”

All the officials present were stunned, Li Shimin was also stunned, he had seen people who were greedy for money, he had never seen people who were greedy for money so shameless and so open-minded, he suddenly felt so speechless, and he opened his mouth to say something, but his mouth opened and closed several times, and he didn't say a word.

Seeing this, the eldest grandson Wuji on the side hurriedly came out of the crowd, bowed to Li Shimin, and then said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a proposal." ”

Li Shimin seemed to see a savior, and spread his hands and said: "What is the proposal for the auxiliary machine?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "It's better to reward Li Hao with a house." ”

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this, yes, a house, there must be a house if you have land, and the house also costs money to buy, which is no different from a direct reward, and ...... The reward is too cheesy, insulting Sven, how good it is to send the house, and the high-end atmosphere is high-grade.

He turned his head to look at Li Hao: "Li Hao, what do you think?" ”

Of course Li Hao is willing, he has traveled from the 21st century, that era pays attention to three things, the house, the car, the ticket, and the house are good things, can he not want it, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

The problem was solved, Li Shimin was very happy, and announced: "Then reward Li Hao with a house in Lantian County, and the good land will also be in Lantian County." ”

"Lantian!" Li Hao was dumbfounded, "It's not Chang'an, the house price is too far away!" Lao Tzu has been tricked! ”

Before he had time to think about it, Li Shimin asked him to retreat, Li Hao was depressed, walked out of the Taiji Hall dejectedly, just crossed the stone bridge, and the eunuch ran up, and asked happily: "Li Gongzi, what reward did Your Majesty give you?" ”

Li Hao looked up at the sky with a sad face, and sighed loudly: "Chang'an has a deep routine, I want to go back to the countryside." After speaking, he shook his hand and left, without looking back, and the eunuch looked confused.

Soon after Li Hao returned to the post station, the reward of the household department arrived, this time the household department came to five people, four small officials, a director, the director surnamed Wang, very young, no more than twenty-five years old, in charge of the household department, this time he brought two carriages, each carriage was full of copper coins, the money of the two carriages added up to a total of 1,000.

The head of the Duzhi King didn't know if his brain was short-circuited, and when he handed over the copper coins, he habitually said: "Please count it in person and confirm that it is correct." ”

Unexpectedly, Li Hao really counted the copper coins on the street, which made the king so embarrassed, Li Hao's actions immediately attracted many onlookers, but he was not tired of it, money, good things, is there anything more wonderful in the world than counting money, at least Li Hao has not found it for the time being.

At first, Li Hao counted one by one, counted for a long time to count to the third run, and when he finished counting a thousand runs, it was estimated that it was dark, and the muscles of his face twitched in the back, and finally, he couldn't help it, coughed hard, and urged: "Li Gongzi, please hurry up, we will go to Lantian County to help you choose a house and measure the field." ”

As soon as Li Hao heard about choosing a house, he suddenly became energetic, although he couldn't get a house in Chang'an, but it was also a house, just like in the future world, he couldn't afford to buy a house in Beijing, so it was good to get a house in Tianjin.

So he sped up his speed and counted it consistently, in fact, he knew that the household would never dare to deduct his bounty, because he had studied the history of the Tang Dynasty, the people of the Tang Dynasty were more disciplined, despised all immoral things, and looked down on people who were greedy for money, but he just liked money, he liked the feeling of counting money, and he was despised if he was despised, as long as he was rich, it didn't matter how others poked his backbone, anyway, there was no real money in this thing.

After half a pillar of incense, Li Hao finally counted a thousand copper coins, and then followed Director Wang to Lantian County to pick a house.

It is recorded in the account books of the household department that in Lantian County, there are currently seven houses, six in the city and one in the suburbs, the king took Li Hao to walk around in Lantian County in advance, and introduced each house to him, but Li Hao sadly found that the story of each house is not very good, because the owners of these houses are either copied or distributed by the whole family, or the house is haunted, no one dares to live, in short, it is a very unlucky house.

Although Li Hao does not believe in ghosts and gods, he is Chinese after all, and he likes good signs, but he always has to pick one, is it strange that he runs back to find Li Shimin to discount now, Li Shimin does not smoke him to death.

Seeing that it was almost evening, and there were still fields that had not been measured, Director Wang began to urge Li Hao again, Li Hao thought about it, and then asked: "Director Wang, may I ask which of these houses is the biggest?" ”

He decided to put aside these nonsense and unlucky arguments, and pick the biggest, the house, of course, the bigger the better, this is the most practical way.

Director Wang flipped through the book, looked up and replied: "The house in Shanghe Village, ten miles away on the outskirts of the eastern part of the city, is the largest, with five courtyards and an area of nine acres. ”

"Wow! Wujin Hospital, covering an area of nine acres! Li Hao's eyes lit up, and it didn't matter if he was in the countryside, he made a decision directly, "I want this!" ”

The house of the ancient large family is very particular, the size of the house is called "depth", which is calculated by the number of longitudinal halls, for example, the house of the three courtyards is composed of the longitudinal entrance hall, the main hall and the back hall, the two compartments of the hall are called the wing room, and the horizontal courtyard is called the partial courtyard, which is generally used as the living place of the secondary family members.

Seeing that he had finally made up his mind, the king finally breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that it was getting late, he proposed to go to the post house to rest first, and then go to see the house early tomorrow morning, Li Hao nodded and agreed, and went to the post house with him.

Thinking that he was about to have a house in Wujin Courtyard, Li Hao was so excited that he didn't sleep all night, and when he got up the next morning, he went out of the city with the king with a pair of dark circles and went to Shanghe Village.

There is a river near Shanghe Village, named Qingshui River, because Shanghe Village is in the upper reaches of Qingshui River, so it is called Shanghe Village, Shanghe Village is quite large, after all, it is a village close to the county seat, with more than 300 households registered and more than 820 people in total.

Li Hao's house is in the west of the village on the poplar slope, is the highest place in the whole village, there are many trees around, the varieties are very mixed, among which the poplar trees are the majority, Li Hao saw these trees, he felt kind, after all, he has been in the mountains for four years, so he feels particularly kind to the trees, besides, in the future world, he has been living in the city since he was 14 years old, facing high-rise buildings made of steel and concrete all day long, so he is particularly yearning for nature, the environment around the house, he is very satisfied, and his heart can't help but be full of expectations for his house.

Soon, the group came to the front of the house, the broken door seemed to collapse at any time, and the mottled courtyard wall seemed to be able to be pushed down with a hand, Li Hao was dumbfounded when he saw it, this is his own house? Make no mistake, right?

Chief Wang's words dispelled his doubts: "Master Li, this is the house you chose." ”

"Yesterday's election doesn't count, re-election!" Li Hao said decisively, turned his head and left.

The king was quick to move, and dragged him back: "Master Li, don't make trouble, I'm very busy." ”

"Who's messing with you? It's you who mess with me! Li Hao pointed to the broken courtyard gate and shouted, "Look at it! Look! Does this dilapidated yard seem like a place where people can live? ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a "crunch", the courtyard door opened, and an old man with gray hair came out.

The king raised his eyebrows: "Who said you can't live in people?" You see, isn't this human? ”

"Uh......" Li Hao was so embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said, "There is already a master here, I will re-elect!" ”

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave again, and was dragged back by the king again, the king patted the book, and said with a smile: "You are lucky, although this house has been empty for more than 20 years, but fortunately, there is a person to guard it, and it should not be too broken inside, this is the person who guards the house." ”

The old man saw the official uniform of the king, heard their conversation, and vaguely guessed that someone had come to take over the house, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The old servant Du Hong pays a visit to the officials." ”

The king waved his hand and said: "No need to be formal, I would like to introduce you to this Li Hao and Li Gongzi in the future, and His Majesty has already rewarded him with this house." ”

Du Hong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly turned around and saluted Li Hao again: "The old slave greets the little master." ”

Li Hao hurriedly shook his hand and denied: "I don't admit it, I want to re-elect, this house is not mine, I didn't take the title deed, this house is not ......"

"Hey, why do I have two extra pieces of paper in my hand?" Li Hao was shocked to find that there were two more pieces of paper in his hand, and unfolded them to take a look, the house deed, the title deed, all alive.

"The king!" Li Hao roared and looked at Wang Principal angrily.

The king looked at him with a wicked smile: "Now that the deed and title deed are in your hands, you can't rely on it." ”

Li Hao suddenly had a feeling that he had nothing to love, he was too pitiful, he had been pitted from Taiji Hall to Shanghe Village, and the people of the Tang Dynasty were too bad, all kinds of routines.

"Little master, why are you crying?" Du Hong was surprised to find Li Hao standing there with tears in his eyes.

"It's okay, I got up this morning and drank too much water."

Du Hong: ......

With the title deed in hand, Li Hao couldn't refuse this dilapidated yard, so he could only follow them in to observe, it's okay not to look at it, he wanted to cry even more after reading it, is this a house, you can see the blue sky and white clouds on the roof of every house, it's simply a skylight without dead ends, well, it should be very ventilated and cool in summer, and you can enjoy the moon when you sleep, it's beautiful, it's beautiful.

Li Hao was already desperate, he secretly decided that if he wanted to live in, he would rebuild this place first, it doesn't matter if the house is too bad, we can rebuild it, build that kind of modern and ancient mixed style, and ensure that Datang is the only one, however...... It takes a lot of money.

After looking at the house, it was almost noon, the Tang Dynasty people did not have the habit of eating lunch, but Li Hao had always maintained a good habit of three meals a day in the mountains, and he was hungry and panicked if he didn't eat one meal, so he asked Du Hong for a bowl of boiled water, ate two of his own Hu cakes, and his stomach was full.

After he finished eating, the king came to him to measure the field, Li Hao didn't know anything about the field, fortunately, Du Hong was a veteran in this, Li Hao asked Du Hong to help check it, and divided fifty acres of fertile land, not far from his house, just three miles away.

Tian Qi arrived, Wang finally completed the task, and happily said goodbye to Li Hao, Li Hao stared at a pair of dead fish eyes, watched him leave, and kept cursing at his back: "Go out and be hit by a car, go out and be hit by a car......"
