Chapter 57: The Central Game
And they came to the old patriarch's house in advance and brought three kilograms of millet and three kilograms of millet. What are they doing?
I want to ask the old patriarch, is your nephew really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Are you playing a role in it?
Li Jinli is not stupid. Following their words, it can be deduced that they may want to deal with the low-grade fields in their hands to Li Chaosheng. Li Jinli still knows about this field. After all, Tanggou Town is so big and he can live there for a lifetime.
Now, do you still know how many good fields there are and how many bad fields there are?
However, they made it clear that they wanted to trick his eldest nephew, and Li Jinli couldn't bear it anymore, but he still endured it because his eldest nephew said something when he came out of Qian's house that day.
"It's only four hundred acres, which is too little. It would be nice if it were more."
My eldest nephew obviously dislikes the lack of land. Now these two old guys are here to sell the land. It seems that they are ready to cheat my eldest nephew. If it doesn't work, I have to help my eldest nephew negotiate the price.
So before Li Chaosheng came, the old patriarch had already told the two of them that when Lao Qian's family sold the land, he took advantage of it and asked for a kickback of half a penny per mu of land. Only then did he deceive himself, a big man who had never farmed before.
The nephew spent money to buy the poor land, and at the same time, he also gave the tribesmen a good rent.
When the time comes, the whole family will thank me. Of course, it is my eldest nephew who is in trouble, but no one can be as good as myself these days.
But in the past two days, my eldest nephew seemed to have come to his senses. There was a lot of gossip among the clan members, saying that these low-grade fields could not produce food, but I refuted it. Isn't this a joke at the expense of the entire clan?
However, that boy must be alert, so if you two want to sell the land to my eldest nephew, the Qian family's price is too high, and that boy can't take it.
After hearing this, Wang Laocai and Mr. Fang stopped working: "Although it costs money to cultivate this low-grade land now, it was worth two or three taels of silver before."
"Oh my god, two brothers, can you compare the old Huangli in the past with now? In the Wanli period, when Mr. Zhang was still in power, this land could be sold for three and a half. What year is it now? At that time
What kind of year can't be calculated like this?"
After listening to the old patriarch's words, Wang Laocai and Mr. Fang also believed it. At this time, the old patriarch added without saltiness: "Hey, it seems that there is no time for peace in Liaodong. In the future, the taxes will definitely be terrifyingly high.
, maybe this abandoned land will also be taxed in the future!"
After hearing this sentence, Wang Laocai and Mr. Fang both changed their expressions. The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, especially Mr. Fang. He was not only a landlord, he also ran a business, and the business was quite big. In Lantian
There are shops, and there are also tribesmen who open shops in Shanxi.
I heard from them that there are several big businessmen in Shanxi who have a lot of connections with Guanwai. I heard from these big businessmen that Guanwai is getting stronger and stronger, and the war in Liaodong is getting more and more intense. It is almost impossible for us to wipe out the slaves.
If the state is established and continues to grow, the taxes will naturally become higher and higher. It is not impossible for the imperial court to handle the taxation of wasteland.
Therefore, the old patriarch's unintentional words directly frightened the two of them. The waiting field is no longer useless now, it has almost become a hot potato. The right way is to sell it and stop the loss in time!
So the two people discussed with the old patriarch, and soon they asked for one, two, and five cents. Old patriarch, you also helped. After the matter was completed, you also gave the old patriarch a half-money kickback. The old patriarch agreed with a smile.
Then the two of them discussed again, I am afraid that normal sales will not work, and we must use some means. This method is to scare you. I will give you a blow at the beginning to scare you. At this time, if you panic, we will be able to operate. Then Zeng
If you want to steal the chicken but fail, you will lose the rice. If you fail to make the game, you will be frightened.
Li Chaosheng sat down with a golden sword. Wang Laocai and Mr. Fang both frowned. This is so uneducated. You sat down before our elders asked you to sit? There are no rules.
Li Chaosheng glanced at the two of them and knew what these two old turtle grandsons were thinking. Some rules must be followed. That is virtue, but obeying everyone is a shackle.
If I give them a good face today, they will immediately show off the air of their elders, just like those annoying seven aunts and eight aunts. As long as you don't go according to their wishes, they will preach to you and say that it is for your own good. In fact,
Who knows what's going on in my heart.
We must not be disrespectful when treating people who are worthy of respect. We must not treat people who are not worthy of respect. The more we treat people who are not worthy of respect, the worse they will become.
At this time, the old patriarch glanced at the deflated Wang Laocai and Mr. Fang, walked around behind Li Chaosheng and murmured in an almost imperceptible voice: "Price, press to death."
The voice was so low that the elderly Wang Laocai and Mr. Fang didn't hear it clearly. However, Li Chaosheng had become clearer and clearer in the past few days, and his ears worked much better. At this time, he glanced at the old patriarch, who smiled slightly.
Uncensored blinked.
"I told you that my two uncles were looking for me to sell their land. What kind of land are you waiting for?"
"Nephew, we just said it was a lower-grade field."
Wang Laocai said, and Li Chaosheng frowned: "Inferior field?"
"What's wrong nephew?"
Wang Laocai tried to test it, and Li Chaosheng said: "I don't really want the lower-grade fields. I went to see them yesterday. They were either sand or stones. No crops can grow at first glance. I'll buy all the Qian family's four hundred acres."
I regret it, why don’t you sell me some prime farmland.”
"hehe……"
Wang Laocai and Mr. Fang looked at each other and made a mocking sound. We can sell you the upper-grade fields, unless we are crazy. We really can't afford to pay for the lower-grade fields, otherwise we can't sell you. What are you thinking about?
Woolen cloth.
"Nephew, it's not that my uncle didn't sell you the upper-grade fields. We all rely on the upper-grade fields to support our family. Now the ones we can sell to you are the lower-grade fields."
Wang Laocai said with a smile, and Li Chaosheng frowned: "I promised my father that I would buy a thousand acres of fertile land in my hometown and become a big landlord. This is my father's last wish and I have to abide by it. That's all. How much do you have in your hands?"
A lower-grade field?”
"Two hundred acres."
"Four hundred acres."
"Well, plus the four hundred acres I have in hand, it's enough for a thousand acres. How much do you plan to sell it for?"
"Hehe... Just like the Qian family, one, two, five is enough."
At this time, the two of them laughed and said together. Li Chaosheng waved his hand after hearing this and said: "It's too expensive, I won't buy it. Goodbye."
After saying that, Li Chaosheng was about to leave. Wang Laocai and Mr. Fang were both confused. They just said goodbye. If the price couldn't be agreed, let's discuss it. This guy had too much temper.
As they spoke, the two looked at the old patriarch. The old patriarch quickly stood up and said, "Chaosheng, don't leave in a hurry. Listen to what the two uncles have to say. You have the same temper as your father. Sit down, sit down!"
"Where are you sitting, uncle? I can't buy it at the price that Uncle Wang and Uncle Fang paid. It's too expensive. Let them see if anyone else buys the land. Let's not waste each other's time. Say goodbye."
