Early the next morning, Zhang Yangquan and the others returned to Jiangducheng and sent people separately to inquire about Xu Yimao and the price of land in the northern suburbs.
As expected, land prices continued to fall during this period, reaching as low as one or two yuan per mu.
The prices in the northern suburbs are relatively high because of improved public security, while the prices in the other three suburbs are even lower.
Calculated in this way, three thousand acres will cost about 3,300 taels of silver. The village has only about 4,000 taels of silver in stock. Although it can be purchased, it is somewhat stretched when it comes to building a village.
In addition, Xu Yimao is indeed a profit-seeking person as the villagers said.
It is said that his real name is not Xu Yimao, but he was nicknamed Xu Yimao because he was mean and stubborn.
This person is extremely thick-skinned. Not only is he not angry, he also accepts the nickname calmly and changes his real name to Xu Yimao.
Dealing with such a person is by no means an easy task, but Zhang Yangquan felt relieved.
Qin Lingsi slapped the table: "Don't think so much. Since this person has taken advantage of those poor villagers, let's retaliate and give him a forceful purchase and sale!"
"Military advisor, my little sister is right this time. You don't have to worry about dealing with people like this." Qin Lingjun was afraid that Zhang Yangquan would be soft-hearted, so she advised him.
Zhang Yangquan also had this thought in mind and nodded: "That's fine."
So the three of them took a dozen brothers and arrived at Xu Yimao's fur shop in the east of the city.
It was already noon, the sun was high in the sky, the sun was shining brightly, the shop was located in a busy city, business was very good, and the surroundings were surrounded by the shouts of merchants.
When Zhang Yangquan came to the door of the shop, he suddenly heard a cold scolding sound from inside the door.
"Xu Yimao, don't be too greedy. Nowadays, the fields in the northern suburbs are only sold for one tael and one yuan. I bought them for one tael and two yuan, and you are not satisfied yet. Do you really think anyone would be willing to buy them for one, two or three yuan?"
?"
"Hey, if you don't buy it, others will buy it. Who doesn't know that the public security in the northern suburbs is getting better and better, and the price of land will soon rise again. In a few days, I will sell it for one, two or four yuan!"
"If you sell your land like this, it would be strange if someone would buy it. Farewell!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a young man in brocade clothes walking out of the house. He was slightly startled when he saw Zhang Yangquan and the other three, and Xuaner held his hand in his hand: "Zhang Qianhu is polite!"
Zhang Yangquan returned the gift and asked curiously: "Do you know me?"
Young Master Jinyi touched the jade ring on his hand and said with a smile: "Who in Jiangdu City doesn't know Beimen Qianhu now? I still have important matters to attend to, see you later."
After finishing speaking, he walked across the street and got into a luxurious carriage. The bell rang and the carriage slowly left.
Zhang Yangquan felt a little strange, touched his chin and said: "Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Xu Yimao seems to be selling his land."
Qin Lingjun folded her arms and raised her eyebrows and said, "It's true that I'm worthy of my reputation!"
Qin Lingsi pulled the riding crop and snorted coldly: "I am the best at dealing with this kind of guy. You can see what I do later!"
The three people announced outside the door. When Xu Yimao learned that Qianhu from the north gate was visiting, he came out in person. He cupped his hands and apologized and said with a smile: "I didn't know Qianhu was coming. I missed the reception from afar. I hope you can forgive me."
Welcome the three people into the hall and serve them good tea.
This man is in his thirties, has a rat-like face, and a large black mole on the left corner of his mouth. When he smiles, his eyebrows are invisible.
Qin Lingsi raised her chin and said firmly: "Xu Yimao, listen carefully, our thousands of families are interested in your three thousand acres of land in the northern suburbs. Do you know what to do?"
Xu Yimao was stunned for a moment, rubbed his hands and said: "Well, hehe, I heard that Zhang Qianhu loves the people like a son and has strict discipline. I have always admired him."
"Don't do this to me!" Qin Lingsi whipped her horse whip on the table: "We don't want you for nothing. We can buy you three thousand acres of land for one thousand taels of silver, and you won't lose anything. How about that?"
Xu Yimao cursed secretly: "It's not a loss for your grandma!" He said with a bitter face: "One thousand taels is too little, how about three thousand five hundred taels?"
Qin Lingsi looked up at the ceiling: "I didn't hear you clearly just now, please say it again!"
"Two, two thousand five hundred taels?"
"Say it again!"
"One thousand five hundred taels!"
Qin Lingsi's face seemed to be covered with a dark cloud, and she said coldly: "It seems that you think the price is too high!"
Xu Yimao said with a mournful face: "It's my honor to see Mr. Qianhu fall in love with my land. Let's take one thousand, and tomorrow I will bring the deed to the land for business."
"Trade now!"
Xu Yimao's expression changed, and he smiled and said: "That's fine, that's fine, but it may take a few days for the land deed to be handed over!"
Qin Lingsi looked at him sideways: "Why?"
Xu Yimao said with a bitter face: "The land deed is not in Jiangdu, but at my house in Hangzhou. Now Hangzhou is in chaos, so it will take some time to get it."
Zhang Yangquan said: "No problem, we can immediately send someone to accompany Xu Yuanwai to Hangzhou to obtain the land deed."
Xu Mao slapped his forehead and shouted: "Ah! I remembered it. When I returned to Jiangdu three months ago, I brought back the land deed. Look at my memory!"
Qin Lingsi smiled solemnly and said: "Then get it quickly. If you dare to play tricks in front of my aunt again, I will chop off five of your fingers!"
Xu Yimao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare. I'll go get it right now." He turned around and left.
"Let your men take it!"
Xu Yimao looked bitter, so he could only agree and explain a few words to a clerk. Not long after, the clerk came back with a stack of land deeds.
"The deeds for my land in the northern suburbs are all here. There are 8,000 acres of land in total. I wonder which 3,000 acres you want to buy?" Xu Yimao probed his head and asked.
Qin Lingsi picked up the field deed and looked at it for a while, then extracted the field deeds for two locations in the east and west of Longtan.
"It's just these three thousand acres. It just so happens that it's still a white deed. We'll take it directly. No, this is one thousand taels of silver. Take it!"
As he said that, he threw a money bag over.
Xu Yimao hurriedly took it and said sincerely: "Actually, I have always admired Mr. Qianhu for maintaining public order in the northern suburbs. If I can do my best to sell the land to you today, I can consider it as fulfilling my wish."
Qin Lingsi waved her hands and said, "Okay, we will patronize your business in the future!"
Xu Yimao smiled broadly and said, "Thank you so much."
The three of them left the fur shop with Tian Qi, and Qin Lingsi raised her chin proudly: "Sister, military advisor, my method is very effective, isn't it?"
Qin Lingjun suddenly said: "I feel something is wrong. This Xu Yimao's eyes keep rolling around. I'm afraid he won't give in so easily."
Zhang Yangquan's eyes flashed slightly: "What Dazhai Master said is true. There are indeed many suspicious things about Xu Yimao. Do you still remember? Before we came, he was selling his land. Isn't this a coincidence?"<
/p>
Qin Lingsi clutched the Tian Deed tightly and pursed her lips: "No matter what conspiracy he has, the Tian Deed is already in our hands anyway, what else can he do?"
Zhang Yangquan pondered for a long time and said: "It's better to be cautious. Let's send someone to monitor him and see what he plans to do next!"
"Okay, I will lead the surveillance personally." Qin Lingsi volunteered.
