For them, there really is no safe place in Gu Qingying's space in this world.
The three of them worked hard, and an hour later, the three of them came out of the space.
Gu Xiao hammered his already aching waist and said: "I didn't expect tea picking to be so tiring. Sister, if you sell it for money, you have to give me the hard-earned money!"
Gu Qingying was happy.
This was the first time that Gu Xiao took the initiative to ask her for money.
Without hesitation, he took ten thousand taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Xiao and said, "Take it and spend it. I have money now, you can spend it as you like."
Gu Xiao was stunned: "You...are you so proud now?"
Gu Qingying laughed and was in a good mood: "It's not that I'm arrogant, but that I'm really rich now. Brother, please tell me how much money I've earned."
Shen Yunzheng was also very tired. He slumped down on a chair and said, "Anyway, you have a lot of money to spend in your life. If Qingying gives you money, you can take the flowers. Our family may be short of everything, but the only thing we will never be short of is money. "
Gu Xiao was not polite, collected the banknote, and explained seriously: "I don't want to spend this money randomly. I met my father's old team some time ago. They are living a very difficult life. I want to help them." Help them and find them a place where they can settle down and live. With the money, I plan to buy land and then ask them to farm it and charge a nominal rent."
Those are the soldiers who came out of the battlefield with strong bones.
Don’t accept the food that comes from your mouth!
He decided on the idea of buying land after thinking about it for several days.
Shen Yunzheng heard this and said: "I am familiar with the land purchase you mentioned. There is a village eighty miles outside the city. The former member of the village lost money in gambling and owed a lot of debt. Now he wants to sell his property. ,How many people are there in my uncle’s old department?”
These are people who are loyal to General Gu.
Gu Xiao thought for a moment and said: "There are about two hundred people. These are the soldiers who have been fighting with my father. They all have no family members. They are old, so they get together to take care of each other."
Gu Qingying didn't understand: "Does the court not care? These are the heroes of Tianyuan Kingdom!"
Gu Xiao let out a long sigh and said with a heavy heart: "The imperial court also cares about it, but it only gives money. One person has ten taels of silver. What do you think the money can do in the past ten years? But there is no way. Even if one person is given ten taels of silver, everyone will get more money." It’s also a huge number.”
Gu Qingying took out another stack of banknotes from her sleeves and said, "Take these banknotes and help more people."
Then he looked at Shen Yunzheng and said: "Brother, where is the specific location of the village you just mentioned? Can we buy all the land there? And if we buy the land, what will happen to the people in the original village?"
In this era, not every farmer had land. Most of them were tenant farmers, renting land from outside members for farming.
Shen Yunzheng said: "That village seems to be called Yongle Village. You also know that I often buy land, so I know best where there is land. There is a lot of land in Yongle Village. The total farmland in the entire village is estimated to be more than one hundred acres. So, Yuanwai was also confused before and had conflicts with the tenants. Many families have moved away. Now there are only a few families in the village. If you need to buy land, I will ask someone to do it immediately. As for the more than two hundred people Gu Xiao mentioned , just place it there directly."
Having said this, Shen Yunzheng paused for a moment, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and then continued: "As for whether there is enough land to plant this, don't worry, there are many slopes near Yongle Village, and there are mountains and forests behind the village where you can hunt. If you don't like it, The land is not enough, we can buy some more nearby."
Gu Qingying agreed very much, looked at Gu Xiao with a keen eye and said: "Brother, I think what I said is right. Do you want to think about it carefully?"
This is the big stone hanging on Gu Xiao's chest.
Now it has been moved.
He said gratefully: "Thank you for helping me with your advice. Brother, I will ask you to help me with the land purchase. You know many people and know what to do. Don't be polite about what I can do. Just give me your orders directly."
Shen Yunzheng smiled and patted Gu Xiao on the shoulder and said: "You just need to give me the banknote. You don't have to worry about the land and houses. I will arrange it for you. When the time comes, you can just let these old people go there." ,By the way, where are those old ministries now?"
More than two hundred people is quite a lot.
Gu Xiao said: "There is a warehouse outside the city where merchants store goods. It is very big. I rented it and put them there. These days, I am worried that it is broken, and I am afraid that my father will find out and worry."
When he grows up, he is the son of the Gu family, and he should be able to support the Gu family.
Therefore, he resisted everything by himself.
Gu Qingying thought of the chickens, ducks, and eggs in the space, and said, "I will go with you later and send them some chickens and ducks by the way."
Gu Xiao was happy: "Then let me thank you on behalf of everyone first."
These words earned Gu Qingying a blank stare.
Pointing to his nose, he said: "Do you think I need a thank you? These are my business too. Don't forget, I also care about my family, but it's hard to buy land. Brother, if you can buy it in a nearby village, Land, please help us buy it, money is not an issue."
She is not short of money!
All three of them had rested.
So together, the three of them went to the backyard of the rented shop.
Gu Qingying can take out the chickens and ducks from the space, and he can also take out the tea leaves.
So Shen Yunzheng also arranged for two carriages to load chickens, ducks, eggs and vegetables, and he carefully sent the tea to the Qin Mansion.
Gu Xiao and Gu Qingying left the city.
On the carriage, Gu Qingying didn't understand: "It stands to reason that the court should take more care of these soldiers who have no relatives. How did everyone get together?"
Gu Xiao told what he learned and said: "We are all gathered together because they had discussed it at the border. They have been with dad all their lives. Now that they are no longer fighting, they also want to be closer to dad. It's just that , they knew my father’s temper and didn’t dare to look for him, so they found a woods outside the city and built a shed and lived there.”
Speaking of these things, Gu Xiao felt inexplicably sad.
The same goes for Gu Qingying.
Gu Xiao continued: "I also accidentally saw an old soldier going into the city to buy food. When I followed him, I found that there were more than two hundred people living in the woods. Fortunately, the woods they were looking for were remote, otherwise the court would have come to their door. ."
It is quite dangerous to gather so many people together at once.
Gu Qingying said: "Our family is rich now, and these old men are loyal to dad. We can't ignore it. Since we have decided to take charge, we must start and finish. Just do whatever my brother wants to do. If you need money, just tell me. You know I have a lot of money." , the tea leaves picked today are worth seven to eighty thousand taels of silver if sold, which is enough for you to spend for a long time."
