Chapter 40 I will meet
The middle-aged man is worthy of being a scholar, and he talks eloquently about those wastelands. That is to say, he is too short-sighted and does not know that there are knowledge points such as environmental protection and returning farmland to forests. Otherwise, these lands will probably be converted into forests by him at this time.
The template is a benchmark.
What does it mean to overthrow the donkey without falling over?
"The sage said that heaven and earth support all things, and all things support human beings, but humans have nothing to repay to heaven and earth. Now my land is left uncultivated to nourish all things. It is my return to heaven and earth, and to all living things."
"Good nephew, good nephew?"
The middle-aged man said that he felt sleepy even to Li Chaosheng. Li Chaosheng suddenly woke up and said: "Ah, okay, what uncle said is great. Come on, cousin, give me a croak."
"Quack? Quack?"
Li Chaolong looked confused. He was very excited after what he just heard. Although he didn't understand everything, he just felt that the middle-aged man was very powerful and eloquent. If he hadn't known that the lower fields really couldn't grow anything, I'm afraid he would
They all believe the middle-aged man’s story that I don’t farm because I want to repay the world.
"My dear nephew, what do you mean?"
The middle-aged man looked at Li Chaosheng and asked. Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "The country dialect is to congratulate him with a high five."
"Oh I got it."
The middle-aged man nodded. At this time, Li Chaolong glanced at Li Chaosheng and whispered: "Why didn't I know there was such a sentence?"
"Siamese dialect."
Li Chaosheng said without changing his expression and his heart not beating.
Li Chaolong looked at Li Chaosheng and touched his chin. Not to mention the chirping, it was really like the incomprehensible bird talk overseas.
"Three of you, I have said so much, do you understand me?"
The middle-aged man looked at the three of them and took a sip of tea. Li Chaosheng nodded and said: "I understand, what uncle said is great. Uncle is really not a person who cares about fame and wealth. He thinks about the people of the world in everything. I admire you."
, Originally we wanted to give uncle a high price, but now it seems that if the price is too high, it would be an insult to uncle's love for all things in the world, so how about one tael of silver for one acre of land?"
"ah?"
The middle-aged man blinked after hearing this, "That's not what I meant. I have been saying for a long time that I just want to raise the price. Can you not respect me so much?"
"One tael of silver. We spent five taels when we bought it. We will never do anything with one tael of silver."
At this time, the middle-aged man didn't say anything. The young man couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly.
"Dao'er, don't be rude."
The middle-aged man said, then looked at Li Chaosheng and said: "Xiannie, this tael of silver is too, too little. Dao'er is right, we bought it for 5 taels of silver."
Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Uncle, this is not how the account is calculated. Years have changed. When you came here, how much was the tax on one acre of land? Now it has been raised to 20%, and the tax on one acre of land is almost close to
One hundred kilograms of grain. If I plant grain on my uncle's land, which is grateful to the heaven and earth, I'm afraid I can only get one hundred kilograms of grain. Even the tax is not enough. Otherwise, my uncle would not plant a grain of grain at all. He would rather
Leave it behind, cough cough... be grateful to all things in the world."
After hearing this, the middle-aged man's face darkened, and he followed Li Chaosheng and continued: "Secondly, my uncle is a dragon and a phoenix among people. If my small mountain village cannot accommodate him, I am afraid that he will be in a high position again in the near future. By then, this country
How many acres of thin farmland can uncle still send people to take care of?"
Li Chaosheng took the opportunity to flatter the middle-aged man. The face of scholars these days is much more valuable than money. If you say a few nice words to them, they will be happier than receiving an extra ten taels of silver. There is nothing you can do. Scholars these days are vain.
Tight, aloof, and greedy secretly.
And Li Chaosheng is not lying. Li Jinli said that the middle-aged man ended up here because he offended the nine thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian's eunuch faction. It seems that Chongzhen will be in power this year, and Wei Zhongxian will also be dealt with. By then, these people who have offended
Those who have been eunuchs will definitely be able to rise to prominence, and in the end they will be reinstated.
"makes sense."
The middle-aged man muttered, if he was reinstated, who would be farming in this remote country? There would be many businessmen lining up to give him money.
After thinking about this, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Does your wise nephew also understand the affairs of the court?"
Li Chaosheng shook his head and said, "I don't understand. I just learned physiognomy from my father when I was young."
"Oh, my nephew knows physiognomy?"
The middle-aged man was stunned. Scholars and ordinary people these days still believe in this. At this time, the middle-aged man looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "Then what do you think of my face?"
Li Chaosheng smiled and pretended to look carefully, and began to organize the vocabulary in his mind: "Physiography is not static, but the appearance changes at any time. My uncle's face is white and rosy. This is a sign of fortune. I'm afraid it won't be long before he has bad luck this year.
At the end of the day, I will fly to the nine heavens again and my official position will be restored."
"Really, my face really tells you that I will be lucky this year?"
Li Chaosheng nodded and said: "When I was young, I learned Ma Yi's magic arithmetic from my father. I can get 90% of the hits regardless of whether I count or omit. If my uncle believes me, there will definitely be a sound this year or next year at the very least. If he is not accurate, uncle
Come and hold your nephew accountable."
"Okay, hahaha, okay, if it's accurate, I will definitely reward you."
The middle-aged man is in a good mood at this time. A few acres of grassy fields are nothing. As long as he continues to be an official, won't the money come pouring in?
Thinking that the middle-aged man had not spoken yet, Li Chaosheng spoke first: "My uncle is very happy, and my nephew has to express his gratitude. In this way, uncle, on the basis of one tael of silver per acre, I will add five more. These five
The money is not for the land, but to celebrate my uncle."
Li Chaosheng's words gave the other party enough face and satisfied his vanity in all aspects. In addition, the middle-aged man was really happy after reading the letter this morning. In addition, the land was really useless. If he couldn't sell it, once he left, the land would be gone.
It will be wasted, and not a penny of capital will be recovered.
"Okay, I'll sell this land to you."
The middle-aged man clapped his hands and said, then waved his hand and said: "Dao'er, bring me the land deed."
After hearing this, Tao'er immediately went to get the land deed. At this time, the middle-aged man looked at Li Chaosheng and said: "Xiannephew, you and I are not outsiders. To be honest, the land is very wild. Why did you buy it?
"
Li Chaosheng sighed and said: "Hey, to be honest with uncle, Wang Laocai and the others want to raise the rent again this year. If the clan members continue to rent land, they will probably starve to death. There is no other way. Let's see if we can buy some land."
Find a way to get some food, otherwise we may starve to death tomorrow."
"Hey, this damn Wang Laocai, I will deal with him sooner or later."
The middle-aged man gnashed his teeth angrily. After all, he had been deceived. This was simply an insult to their intellectual intelligence, which was intolerable.
Here he thought that Dao'er had already brought up the land deed. The land on it was all barren land near the foot of the Black Mountain and the mountainside. It was all low-grade farmland with one water. It totaled 400 acres. He had spent a full two years on it.
A thousand taels of silver.
Now that Li Chaosheng has won 600 taels of silver, the other party is still happy. He just scolds Wang Laocai while selling, and threatens to deal with him!
