"Master, all the small banners, as well as the big households, are planning to sell the fields outside the fort. Some people put up notices, or let people spread the word. But there are many people watching the excitement, but only a few people buying. Now the price of the fields is only half.

Got the money."

The housekeeper ran to Wu Nian and reported it.

Liu Xiang and Chen also knew about this matter.

Liu Xiang snorted softly and said: "Brother, I heard that these small flags are afraid of the Mongolian people going south, so they are eager to sell their land."

Mrs. Chen nodded, her red lips exhaling the fragrance. She just ran over to wipe Wu Nian's sweat, but within such a short distance, she began to feel weak and weak.

"I know. Otherwise, why would I send the housekeeper?" Wu Nian did not tell Liu Xiang these messy things. She could just be an official's wife.

"Send people to knock on doors door to door and tell them that I want to buy their fields." Wu Nian raised his head and said to the housekeeper.

"Brother, they are all in a hurry to sell their land, why are you buying it?" Liu Xiang asked very puzzledly, her eyes full of vigilance, for fear that her man would suffer a loss.

Mrs. Chen still had some knowledge. She pulled Liu Xiang's arm and said softly: "Women should stay out of men's affairs."

"Oh." Liu Xiangman listened to Chen's words and nodded obediently.

"What a good sister, my Dinghai Shenzhen." Wu Nian was not shy, and gently hugged Chen's thin waist. But Chen glared at her fiercely, and Xiafei twisted her waist in anger and walked away.

.

It's a clear day and there are outsiders present. This bastard makes me so angry.

Liu Xiang also helped Chen and said angrily: "Brother, there are outsiders here." After saying that, she quickly chased after Chen.

"Yes." The housekeeper responded and ran away. Zhang Jin turned his head, not daring to look.

"Haha." Wu Nian laughed dryly. This girl is good at everything, but she is shy. He is not allowed to be intimate during the day, but anything is fine at night.

"Brother, let's go to the hall and wait for these little flags." He turned around and said to Zhang Jin.

"Yeah." Zhang Jin hummed and followed Wu Nian to the main room and sat down.

A maid went to make tea and brought it up.

The tea at Wu Nian's house is not as high-end as before Yuqian. It is just ordinary wild mountain tea, but it tastes quite delicious.

In the time of a cup of tea, all the eight small flags in the current 100 households came, including more than a dozen large households with considerable land.

Everyone is like ants on a hot pot. Why don't you be anxious when you hear that someone is taking over?

"Brother, everyone is selling their fields, but you are buying them. Don't fool the brothers." Wu Dangkou walked a little hastily, panting and his face turned red. Before he could stop breathing, he hurriedly said to Wu Nian.

"Yes. Wu Xiaoqi, don't make us happy."

"Don't say that. Brother Wu is a person who spits and nails. How could he lie to us?"

The little ones sat down and the big ones stood, all half-convinced about this matter. Some of them were bad-faithful and some were bad-faithful. It was quite lively.

"My good brother, how could I lie to you?" Wu Nian said to Wu Dangkou with a smile, then asked the maid to make tea, and then said: "I have eaten all the fields you have. Today

Write the contract and transfer the land deed. Anyway, we open the 100-household office. It’s convenient.”

"However, I only offer 300 Wen for the price of one acre of land. Brothers, please think carefully."

"By the way. Since you have sold your fields, you don't need so many slaves. Sell them to me as many slaves as you have."

With that said, Wu Nian picked up the warm tea cup and drank the tea calmly. It was as if Jiang Taigong was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and had King Wen of Zhou.

When Xiaoqi and the big bosses heard this, they immediately went crazy.

They were relieved that Wu Nian was not innocent and really wanted to buy their fields. But on the other hand, this black-hearted profiteer.

The special code is three hundred coins per acre of land, but this guy can't say it.

Originally, this acre of land was worth three to five dollars.

Xiao Qi and the big bosses were so angry that they almost wanted to curse.

But they didn't even think about how the fields under their names were obtained. They all obtained them from ordinary military households using similar means.

What's more, it's not that Wu Nian wants to force the purchase now, but that each of them is like an ant on a hot pot, and they are in a hurry.

"My good brother. I can't accept your price. Can you raise it a little bit? How about four hundred and fifty cents?" Wu Dangkou was furious, but he didn't dare to turn his back. He could only frown and look slightly sad.

He said to Wu Nian in a flattering manner.

Other small banners and large households followed suit and joined in with the Wudang bandits.

Wu Nian, however, refused to retreat, so he said: "Brothers, you must know that the Mongolians are very likely to go south this year. If Liaodong is lost, all my money will be wasted. I have taken the risk, and you brothers have to give in, right?"

?”

"Three hundred cents, if you want to sell it, just sell it. If you don't sell it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Wu Nian's words are really powerful. Ever since Chen Jinshi started to say that the Mongolians would conquer Liaodong, this matter became more and more bizarre.

These three people became tigers, and people heard it more often, as if the Meng Yuan people were like the Nian beast, and the time was coming.

Xiaoqi, the big investors just feel dizzy. They feel that if they don’t sell their fields at a low price today, they will regret it tomorrow.

"Sold." Wu Dangkou was so anxious that cold sweat broke out. He was having a fierce ideological struggle in his heart. When he said these two words, his whole body seemed to have had all the bones taken away, and he collapsed.

on the chair.

The land that the Wu family had accumulated for nearly a century was sold off by me at such a low price.

Following the opening opened by Wu Dang's bandits, Xiaoqi and other big households started to speak out, scrambling to be the first, fearing that the sale would be late and Wu Nian would not buy their fields.

"Take your time, take your time. My family has a lot of money." Wu Nian smiled and comforted Xiaoqi and the wealthy people, and then asked the housekeeper to move the desk and the four treasures of the study. He immediately wrote the contract and sent it to the Baihu Office.

transfer.

Now with his status in Baihusuo, this kind of thing can be done on the same day.

Immediately, Wu Nian asked the housekeeper to argue with these people and buy the extra slaves. However, he did not buy a single slave, but bought the slaves with his family.

It is easy for a slave to run away, but it is not easy for a slave to run away with his family.

It didn't take long for these little bannermen and the big bosses to leave the Wu Mansion. All of them looked pale and their hands and feet were weak, as if they had overindulged.

But they were relieved again.

This hot potato field was sold, and some of the domestic slaves were also sold. They were replaced with gold and silver, so that when the Mongolian people went south, they could travel lightly and escape from Liaodong quickly.

Thinking this way, they became much more energetic.

Many people still laugh at Wu Nian in their hearts.

We can travel light and run away. What's the use of you Wu Nian taking our land at a low price?

In the main room, Wu Nian was sitting on a chair, watching the butler sitting on the chair and typing the abacus loudly at the desk. When the butler put down his pen, Wu Nian asked with a smile: "How many fields did I buy?

"

"A whole three thousand acres." The housekeeper's face was already sweating, and he stammered.

Outside the 100 households in Beishan Fort, there are only more than 10,000 acres of farmland. Good guy, 30% of them have the surname Wu.

Today he has learned a lot about what it means to take advantage of others by taking advantage of others.

Wu Nian burst out laughing when he heard this, turned to Zhang Jin beside him and said, "I bought three thousand acres of land for three hundred cents per acre."

"Congratulations, Mr. Xiaoqi." Zhang Jin also burst into laughter and said with cupped fists.

When troubled times come, the brave will be beaten to death and the timid will starve to death. These officials deserve to be slaughtered.

"How many slaves are there?" Wu Nian asked again in high spirits.

"There are thirty-eight households in total, with nearly three hundred people." The housekeeper looked down at the records before looking up and said.

"Now, I have more than a thousand slaves. That's almost half the number of military households in Beishan Castle. But I bought so much land, I really need them to take care of it."

Wu Nian exhaled a breath, feeling very comfortable.

"According to the plan, we will buy cotton seeds immediately. If there is insufficient manpower, ask the military households in Beishan Fort to help with the farming. Remember, the wages must be sufficient, and the food should be taken care of. The officials can be bullied, but the common people cannot be bullied."

At the end of his sentence, his face became serious, his eyes flashed at the housekeeper, and he said, "If you dare to do anything small, I will kill you."

"The villain dare not."

Wu Nian was so murderous that the housekeeper could not bear it. He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying that he did not dare.

"Yes." Wu Nian nodded with satisfaction and regained his momentum.

The servants have to beat them frequently, otherwise they will easily deceive the master.

At this moment, a soldier walked in holding a man covered in blood. When Wu Nian and Zhang Jin saw this man, their expressions suddenly changed.
