The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, as Xu Fu's words fell, the expression on Liu Biao's face immediately turned respectful. Maybe when he was the city guard, he could still make a show in front of the Lin family, but now, he can only look up.
share.
"It turns out to be Butler Xu. I have admired him for a long time!" Liu Biao clasped his hands and bowed as he bowed.
Xu Fu accepted it calmly at first, and then returned the gift, "Master Liu, you are too polite. I am just a housekeeper. How can I bear to be treated like this by a master?"
Hearing this, Liu Biao secretly cursed Xu Fu for hypocrisy in his heart, but still had a smile on his face, "Butler Xu, you are too polite. In Luo City, who doesn't know about the Lin family? My current official position is just that of a ninth-grade farm manager. Xu
The steward deserves to be punished."
Xu Fu's eyelids drooped slightly, a ray of light flashed in his eyes first, and then he said: "Master Liu is too modest. In Luo City, who doesn't know that Master Liu was also a high-ranking fifth-rank official, but he was unlucky.
He was just plotted by a villain, otherwise the imperial envoy would have dismissed Mr. Liu from his official position."
Xu Fu's words spoke to Liu Biao's heart. Back then, in order to become a city guard, he almost gave up more than half of his property as a filial piety.
He had a lot of money, but he didn't expect that he would encounter an imperial envoy before he could settle down, so he always believed that 50% of the reason why he lost his official position was because of bad luck.
The other 50% is that he always felt that someone was jealous of him when he became the city guard and secretly caused a stumbling block, otherwise he would not have ended up in this situation.
With a deep sigh, Liu Biao thought of the money he had spent, and his voice was choked with sobs, "But Butler Xu still knows me."
Xu Fu has lived for more than fifty years and is already a human spirit. Who has he not seen before? He just said that deliberately to test. Seeing that Liu Biao was obviously emotionally unstable, he said again: "Master Liu, you don't have to be like this."
, From a villain’s point of view, with Mr. Liu’s ability, it is not difficult to make some achievements and climb to a high position again. Moreover, Mr. Liu is really capable. I think your immediate boss will also focus on training you so that you can flourish.
Day, I think it’s just around the corner!”
It's okay not to listen to what Xu Fu said. Liu Biao almost fainted when he heard it. After he was dismissed from his post and bought a new official position as a farm chief, all the officials didn't want to see him, both overtly and covertly.
Talking about him, and his immediate boss, I heard that the concubine he bought home the year before last was very beautiful, and even hinted to him to send her over as soon as possible!
This is a damned bitch, but that concubine is his heartthrob!
Achievements!
Yes, as long as I make meritorious deeds, it is possible to climb back to a high position. When I get promoted and make money, I will definitely make these blind dog officials look good!
Thinking of this, Liu Biao had lost his normal thinking ability and became eager for quick success. He looked at Xu Fu eagerly and said, "What Butler Xu said is true, as long as I make meritorious deeds, I can climb back to a high position, but I don't know that Xu Fu
The housekeeper came to see me this time to discuss something?"
If Xu Fu really wanted to ask for something, wouldn't it be a great achievement?
Xu Fu snorted coldly in his heart, cursing that Liu Biao was really stupid. As long as he put some grass in front of him, he could lead him wherever he wanted, just like a donkey.
But the stupider Liu Biao is, the better it is for him!
Frowning deliberately, Xu Fu put the bamboo chopsticks in his hands aside and pondered in silence. This made Liu Biao feel even more anxious.
After a long time, seeing that Liu Biao couldn't help but want to speak again, he said: "Master Liu, actually Xu came to you today just for a casual meal. There is nothing to discuss."
If you have nothing to discuss, let’s have a casual meal?
Liu Biao didn't believe this. Otherwise, why didn't Xu Fu come to invite him to dinner before? "Butler Xu, since you and I know each other well, we should tell the truth when we have something to say. Although Mr. Liu is just a farm manager, if he can help
I'm busy, so I won't refuse even a minute."
In an instant, Liu Biao shamelessly elevated the relationship between the two to the level of confidants.
"This" Xu Fu deliberately put on an embarrassed face, and after Liu Biao's repeated urging, he sighed softly and said: "Master Liu, since you regard Xu as a confidant, then I will tell the truth. In fact, Xu
It’s really not a big deal that Mr. Xu came to see Mr. Liu today. It’s just that last night, my master casually said that he wanted to buy a large piece of wasteland twenty kilometers east of the city. That’s why Mr. Xu came to see Mr. Liu for a meal.
potluck."
Buy that large piece of wasteland twenty kilometers east of the city?
When Liu Biao heard this, his face suddenly fell. The last farm manager was removed from his job just because he wanted to work there. He still knew about this.
Of course, he would not have thought that the Lin family would dare to make plans for a place that even the imperial court had given up and did not want to open.
It's just that the opportunity was right in front of him, so it would be a pity to miss it like this, so he didn't give up and asked again: "Did Mr. Lin really just say it casually?"
Xu Fu nodded without hesitation.
"Then did Second Master Lin say why he wanted to buy that piece of wasteland?"
"Well, my master seems to be planning to buy some mules, horses and oxen to raise in captivity, and the land there happens to be open, which is more suitable. Mr. Liu, you don't know the recent prices of mules, horses and oxen used for plowing.
, but it has increased several times, and the Lin family is in business, so naturally they do whatever they get the money for. However, my master just said it casually last night, so I am not sure whether I want to buy that land or not.
"
Having said this, Xu Fu paused and said: "Your Excellency also knows that a slave like me, even if he cannot guess the master's intention, must pave the road in advance, otherwise the master will give up. If it is because of
If I lose a good opportunity to make money due to my fault, it would be a huge sin."
Xu Fu said what he said was reasonable, and Liu Biao nodded repeatedly. His enthusiasm for making achievements gradually dropped. In his opinion, even if the Lin family wanted to buy wasteland to raise horses and cattle, they would not be able to buy a large piece of it.
With just a quick glance at Liu Biao's fat face, Xu Fu understood Liu Biao's thoughts. To accomplish the tasks assigned by the second master, he couldn't do it without Liu Biao's enthusiastic help, so he said again: "My master,
If you really want to buy it, the area will be very large. Speaking of which, if this happens, it will be a huge political achievement for Mr. Liu."
After saying that, Xu Fu smacked his lips and shook his head.
When he heard that the area would be very large, Liu Biao's mouse eyes lit up again, and he asked tentatively: "If Mr. Lin wants to buy it, how big will it be?"
Xu Fu did not reply, but stretched out three fingers.
Upon seeing this, Liu Biao guessed: "Three hundred acres?"
Xu Fu just curled his lips in disdain.
"Three thousand acres?" Liu Biao's eyes widened significantly.
Xu Fu shook his head again.
Liu Biao opened his mouth wide and did not dare to guess any further. Even if it was wasteland, this acre of land would be worth at least four or five taels of silver.
Seeing that Liu Biao didn't dare to guess any more, Xu Fu glanced around deliberately even though there was no one around him, lowered his voice and said cautiously: "Three is not the number of fields, but the number of silver, a total of three hundred thousand."
two!"
Even though Liu Biao had asked a few questions before and was already mentally prepared, he couldn't help but take a few breaths after hearing this. Three hundred thousand taels, a total of three hundred thousand taels were spent to buy wasteland. The Lin family is really worthy of it.
He is a famous wealthy family in Luo City. If he had 300,000 taels of silver, he would now be sitting in the position of city guard.
"Is it possible to accomplish this?" Liu Biao swallowed hard and asked again.
Xu Fu shook his head and replied: "Actually, to the Lin family, three hundred thousand taels of silver is nothing. Whether this thing can succeed or not depends mainly on whether my master has this intention."
Liu Biao secretly smacked his tongue, three hundred thousand taels of silver was nothing, Butler Xu was really loud, but with the Lin family's name on it, he couldn't help but not believe it.
"By the way, Mr. Liu, Xu came to you today just to give you a heads up so that you can be prepared. If my master makes a decision in a few days, you should hurry up and handle it. I
The number revealed today is a secret. Please don’t talk nonsense outside this door. Also, my master originally planned to buy the entire wasteland nearby with 300,000 taels of silver. If the matter is completed by then,
Yes, hehe, I dare not say too much, but the benefit fee of seven or eight thousand taels will definitely be yours." Xu Fu said the last word, and gave away the sweet spot with a wicked smile.
Liu Biao's eyes brightened when he heard this. Seven or eight thousand taels of silver were enough for him to climb up a step further. Although the area of the wasteland was a bit larger, if he really measured it and sold it, I'm afraid it would be worth three million.
Two grains of silver, but the prerequisite is that someone has to buy it.
In addition to the private benefits, he also brought in 300,000 taels of silver for the treasury. This is also a great achievement. Especially when there are constant wars here and the treasury is empty, this is definitely a big deal.
Achievements!
As he thought about it, Liu Biao's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the words fell from the corner of his mouth unknowingly.
When Xu Fu saw this, he despised him in his heart.
With such a huge achievement right in front of him, Liu Biao was not willing to let go. Eight of the next ten sentences were about hoping that Xu Fu would persuade Lin Jingzhi to buy the wasteland. Although Xu Fu secretly chuckled.
, but still pretended to be very embarrassed, and kept guessing that the heat was almost there before standing up to say goodbye.
Liu Biao quickly stood up and continued to persuade, spitting all over Xu Fu. After paying the bill and walking out of the private room, Liu Biao was still chattering. Xu Fu knew that this man was thick-skinned and didn't care, but when he turned to the stairs, he saw
When he reached a figure, he suddenly froze. Liu Biao was a little curious and came over to look down. He saw two people climbing up the stairs, one behind the other. The one in front had a fair complexion.
He is extremely handsome, walking calmly and unhurriedly. You can tell from a glance that he comes from a well-known family. Later, he was dressed as a scholar when he was thirteen or fourteen years old.
It wasn't until the young man got closer that he heard Xu Fu beside him exclaim, "Second Master, why are you here too?"
