Chapter 41: Expand the Luban Gate, no longer be a hooligan
Last time, we talked about urging the carpenter to go to the government envoy's office to borrow money. Because he didn't have enough money, he cast a spell to summon the underworld judge to collect information, and he got his wish.
"Haha, this information is enough!" At this time, the carpenter no longer cared about the other party's lack of money to borrow. He just said with a half-smile: "I'm afraid the landowners around my house are not willing to sell their land to me at a low price.
It would be great if my brother could write an official proclamation and inform the prefectures and counties secretly."
"Uh... Dear brother, please rest assured. Brother Yu will not make things difficult for your dear brother, so I will arrange for my subordinates to do it." The chief envoy quickly glanced at the subordinate officer, and asked the accountant to follow him away, and then asked:
"My dear brother, why don't you go and see your three great nephews? They have been very well-behaved recently!"
"Haha, no need." Cui Carpenter sneered and said: "I know my daughter better than my father. With my brother, my adoptive father, to help take care of me, nothing will go wrong. I'll take my leave." As soon as he finished speaking, he urged the carpenter to use his soil.
The escape spell turned into yellow light and penetrated the ground, and used his spiritual consciousness to contact the three women.
"Dad, can't you stop by to see our sisters? We are a little homesick." The three girls were practicing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Suddenly, they felt something in their hearts at the same time, and couldn't help but use their spiritual consciousness to transmit their voices and asked: "
Where are my mother and younger sisters? Is the 'Goddess' in our family the youngest thirteenth sister?"
"Haha, you stinky girl, you have only been away from home for a few days, and you already feel homesick?" Carpenter Cui said with a smile, "You thirteen sisters are my 'little darlings'!"
"Giggle, Daddy, you are so funny. I'm ignoring you."————"Go, go, learn court etiquette, and come see you again when I have time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Carpenter used his "earth escape" spell with all his strength. Although he could not travel a thousand miles in a day, it only took half an hour to get back to his home more than a hundred miles away. However, during this period, the most shocking person was Bu.
There were three political envoys, because they still underestimated the strength of the carpenter.
After greeting his sisters and granddaughters, the carpenter excused himself and had to leave home for two days before coming back, saying that he had other things to do.
In fact, the reason why Carpenter urged him was because he had more than a dozen lists in his hand that he needed to digest, so he had to search for places to start one by one according to the map. However, since he did not have a magic weapon to store, he had to go to the "Snake Demon Cave" in "Xifeng Rock" first.
See if the elders of the "Five Poison Sect" are waiting for orders?
After prompting the carpenter to turn into an escape light and descend from the sky, and after finding nothing in the "Xifeng Rock", he changed direction and flew directly to the "Silver Cave" of "Dengyun Mountain" to find the "little treasure" for a large storage magic weapon. After all,
When robbing a house, you need something to pack it in. The bigger the space, the better, making it easier to carry.
Of those fourteen targets, three were on Guangnan West Road, four were on Guangnan East Road, five were in Huguang Province, and two were in Guizhou Province. So, Ji Carpenter decided to use the "Seventy-two Heretical Techniques" from near to far.
"Invisible", "cute", "login" and other spells are used in conjunction with each other and have proven successful time and time again.
In less than a day, the carpenter had secretly robbed all the targets. The gold, silver, treasures, various antiques, and jades he obtained could fill the living room. If converted into silver, it would be at least more than one million taels.
After all, those corrupt officials and squire bullies are not vegetarians!
However, the money cannot be exposed. After all, there is no guarantee that the other party will invite some capable people to find out what they are looking for. At least they will use other means to solve the case. If it doesn't work, just report it to the official. I believe that even the secret agencies of the East and West Second Factory
If it doesn't work out, the court won't ignore it.
Therefore, the carpenter had no choice but to hide in the underground cave of "Xifeng Rock", first sort the stolen treasures into categories, and then put them back into the storage bag. Finally, he sneaked home and took out a small part of the money to look around.
Landowners buy land deeds, write the deeds and then file them with the government office.
After this operation, Ji Carpenter easily obtained the ownership of all the land within ten miles of his home, including of course some barren mountains and rivers and tidal flats that were not on the title deeds. The total cost of the silver taels was only more than a thousand taels. After all, there was fertile land.
It's only five hundred acres.
Of the 500 acres of arable land, only about 200 acres are irrigated, which is dedicated to growing grains to feed more than a hundred people, but the rest is dry land for growing corn, potatoes, sugar cane, and tobacco imported from abroad.
There is still some value, after all, you can get "Guangzhou Thirteen Banks" to sell it for money.
In this way, it is not a loss. After all, growing some fir trees, moso bamboo, camphor wood, etc. in the barren mountains and ridges to make furniture can also be sold for money, but it will take a long time to generate economic value. Urging the carpenter
I thought, as long as I don't give up, even if it takes a hundred years to get back the money, it will be worth it.
Next, the carpenter asked his sisters to go home and call his brother-in-law and nephews. Together with his own helpers and apprentices, there were more than a hundred people who could work. He could take advantage of the dry winter and start to work in the original yard.
A large courtyard has been expanded on the outermost perimeter, and it is planned to build a thousand rooms.
These one thousand rooms are planned to be built according to the Hakka earth building model in Yongding, Fujian, with a three-story ring shape as the main structure to save land. The earth building was originally built for defensive purposes, surrounding a central open courtyard with only one entrance.
There are windows to the outside above the first floor.
As a collective building built with earth as walls, the earth building actually became a village. In the old society, it was often called a "small family kingdom" or a "prosperous small city." Therefore, the outer wall of the earth building must be tall and solid, and the roof must be covered with water.
Use tiles to form wide eaves to prevent disasters and theft.
In fact, the reason why Ji Carpenter wanted to expand the "Luban Gate" into the form of "Fujian Earth Building" was because he would not be able to stay here for a long time as the "door master" in the future. After all, the old Ji family will be composed of "secular" and "
The "matriarchal clan" formed by overlapping "cultivation" and "carpentry" is just the appearance.
The earth building has been the foundation of this family since then. And the men here, if they do not have spiritual qualifications, will stay here all their lives as carpenters to support their families, playing the role of "martial arts masters". As for the few who happen to have opened up the "Ren and Du Second Line"
"Qi Refiner" will be refined into "ghoul clone".
However, in order to complete the work before the spring rains came, the carpenters spent a lot of money and continued to offer heavy rewards to the labor force from villages and even outsiders. Not only did they have enough to eat three meals a day, but they also guaranteed meat for every meal and wages.
As a result, the number of people increased dramatically and the construction period was shortened.
In this way, including the large purchase of bricks, lime, wood, bamboo poles, hemp rope, copper nails and other building materials, it actually cost more than 13,900 taels of silver to get it done. Fortunately, everyone
Finally, before the rainy season comes, I can live in the newly expanded and renovated earth building.
This month is neither long nor short, but it has allowed thousands of households in the surrounding villages to know that the Laoji family has strong financial resources and that there are dignitaries behind them to help. This actually makes people know the inside story.
The chief minister of Guangnan West Road stunned the three of them.
As for the continuous reports that corrupt officials and squire bullies within a radius of thousands of miles suffered retribution and were left impoverished, not many people paid attention to it. After all, the poor people wanted those who were unkind to get rich to die early so that they could be left behind.
The property is divided and everyone has a share!
Just like that, spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and it’s time to show off your talents. As the “master” of the “Luban Sect”, Ji Carpenter naturally spares no effort to publicize that he can eat three meals a day with enough food, learn quickly and work
If you are good, you can recruit a bride to come to your door and teach you the secrets of martial arts and the "Secret Technique of Lu Ban"...
Such vigorous advertising soon spread throughout Guangnan West Road, immediately attracting a large number of green forest heroes and even "hooligans" to join the army.
In ancient times, due to low productivity, farmers often lost their original land and houses when natural disasters and man-made disasters occurred. However, they had to leave their hometowns in order to survive and were often displaced. Therefore, those who lost or had no land were called refugees, or "liu" for short.
.Obviously living in a foreign land, naturally without a house.
In the same way, a man who has no house or property is called a "gangster", or "gangster" for short. Therefore, any man who has lost his land or property is a gangster!
Therefore, during a blind date in ancient times, the girl's parents would also ask the boy if he had a house at home and how many acres of fertile land he had. If the boy hesitated and said no, the girl would inevitably look unhappy after hearing this, and would complain: "No house.
You have no land, so you come on a blind date? You are really a gangster! A scoundrel! Get out!"
At this time, the carpenter had just moved into a brand-new large earth building, and he finally realized something: "The one who owns all the real estate in the world is called 'Your Majesty'; the one who lives in a deep house, a villa, is called 'His Royal Highness'; one who has one or two apartments is called 'Your Majesty'"
Those who live in a humble house are called "Your Excellency"; those who live in no fixed place and wander around are called "Shou";
For rich people with many properties, their eldest wife is called the 'eldest wife' or 'eldest wife'; the second wife is called the 'second house' or 'second wife'; the third wife is called the 'third house' or 'third concubine'; and the last wife is called the 'third house'.
The wife is called 'Duofang' or 'little concubine'... However, those without land are called 'vagrants'; those without real estate are called 'gangsters'!"
Therefore, those who have neither a house nor land are called "hooligans"! This has been around since ancient times, so it's no surprise that as long as you have the ability to make a lot of money, you can bid farewell to hooligans!
Ji Carpenter is certainly not a "hooligan" now, because his ideal is to attain enlightenment and live forever. Therefore, it is not uncommon to be "in the world of mortals"!
However, there are so many people in the world who are left without food or clothing after their property has been robbed. Therefore, it is against the laws of nature for good people to be forced to become "hooligans"!
