"Girl in purple, I don't think this person is honest, why don't we move to another place? There is plenty of land around here anyway, so why bother grinding our teeth with him here?"
Butler Lu, who was accompanying him, was very disdainful of Old Man Liu's behavior of sitting on the ground and raising prices. He pulled Ziyi aside and whispered to dissuade him.
However, Ziyi shook her head gently. She glanced at Old Man Liu who was looking at her nervously over there, and said to Guan Lu with a smile:
"It doesn't matter. I looked at Mr. Hou's plan and I feel that the location of the workshop is very important and cannot be careless!
The geology of the place in front of us is solid, the location is not far from Yangzhou, and transportation can pass through this river, directly to the Yangtze River, and then to the sea. No matter where you look at it, this is the closest to the requirements of the Marquis.
As for the person who wants to sell more money, this is human nature and understandable. It’s better to find a suitable party.”
"That's okay too!"
After hearing Zi Yi's words, Butler Lu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded firmly. At the same time, he did not forget to take another long look at the place, and secretly made a decision in his heart:
If this old guy really opens his mouth like a lion, then he will go directly to the Yangzhou government office to reveal his identity and seize this piece of land, so that this old guy won't be able to catch a single hair, so he can hide at home and cry!
Butler Lu was still gritting his teeth, but Ziyi had already come to the nervous old man Liu again.
Smiling, Ziyi bowed slightly to him again, and then asked: "I wonder what price Mr. Liu wants for this piece of land?"
"Ahem..." Old man Liu probably didn't expect Ziyi to ask the price so directly. He coughed twice, then tentatively stretched out three fingers.
"What? Thirty guan?" Butler Lu was stunned when he saw the finger, and then asked with anger on his face!
"No, no, twenty dollars an acre!" Old man Liu was shocked by Butler Lu's appearance. He felt guilty and quickly withdrew his finger.
"Ten dollars!" Butler Lu looked at those two fingers and without thinking, he cut the price in half.
"Ten strings?"
At this time, Old Man Liu's eyes widened! After a while, he cried sadly, pointed around and said: "Brother, this is not how you bargain! If this land had been left in the good times of the Sui Dynasty, it would not have been more than forty dollars per acre.
Don’t even think about it!
Nowadays, there are fewer people fighting the war and more land, so it is cheaper. But no matter how cheap it is, it is not at such a price! If you don’t believe it, go and ask around. The cheapest dry land around here costs 20 hectares, or 10 hectares.
Money? Absolutely not!"
Butler Lu squinted his eyes and dismissed Old Man Liu's cry. Instead, he sneered and said: "You also said, this is dry land for others, and this is wasteland for you. How can this be the same? That land can be cultivated for a lifetime.
If it is passed down from generation to generation, can you grow it? You can probably grow grass!"
"You...that can't be ten guan, absolutely not!" Old man Liu blushed when Butler Lu exposed his lie, but still shook his head stubbornly and said: "The minimum is 18 guan, no lower!"
"snort……"
When Butler Lu saw this, he snorted and was about to speak again, when Ziyi stepped in between the two of them and waved his hand:
"Don't go to such trouble, Mr. Lu, let's go with Mr. Liu's twenty dollars! We bought this one hundred acres of land."
"Purple clothes!"
Butler Lu didn't expect Zi Yi to be so straightforward. He was shocked when he heard this. He stretched out his hand to stop him, but then he remembered what the Marquis said before leaving, saying that everything was about Zi Yi. His outstretched hand just stopped in mid-air, whether it was Jin or not.
Neither does retreating.
"Buy? Did you buy it? Or did you buy it for twenty dollars?"
The one with the completely different expression from Butler Lu’s sullen expression is Old Man Liu!
He had given up hope on this, the largest land sale in the history of this village.
Who would have expected that the beautiful girl's words would instantly revive his sinking heart! The whole world would also become colorful.
"Yes, I bought it."
Ziyi raised his head, looked at the wilderness in front of him, and said with a firm tone: "After the cash is delivered, Mr. Liu can go to the Yamen to apply for the land deed."
"Okay, okay! The land deed is a must!"
Only then did Old Man Liu confirm that all this was not his hallucination. All the wrinkles on his excited face stretched out, and he kept rubbing his hands and saying good!
"That's good!" Ziyi nodded lightly and continued: "Well, after the land deed is processed, I would like to ask Mr. Liu for a favor."
"You said it! As long as I can do it, there is absolutely no problem!"
Old man Liu seemed to have seen countless copper coins flying in front of his eyes, and he naturally agreed to the request of the God of Wealth!
"It's not too troublesome to talk about it."
Ziyi looked at all the happy villagers around him and said, "I just want to ask all the blind daters to come over and help us build a house in their free time. Of course, we will definitely pay for it!"
When Old Man Liu heard that Zi Yi only had such a request, his affection for her rose to the peak. He couldn't help but patted his chest and said, "Hahahaha, what's wrong with wages? We will be neighbors from now on. They say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors."
, what’s a little help? Even if you don’t say it, we will help!”
After saying this, he turned to the surrounding villagers with a straight face and shouted: "Did you just hear that?! When people need help, come over and help me! Anyone who dares to cheat and play tricks will see if the old man doesn't get angry.
Kill him!"
"heard it……"
Sparse responses came one after another.
However, it's not that they are unhappy, it's actually that each and every one of them is silent in the transaction of that hundred acres of land and can't extricate themselves!
You know, the land in front of you is common land in the village, which means that if it is sold, everyone in the village will have a share!
Twenty guan for one acre of land, two hundred guan for ten acres of land, and two thousand guan for one hundred acres of land!
With so much money, if given to this small village with only about a hundred households, wouldn't each family be able to get more than ten pigeons? Enough to buy two oxen?
"Oh God!"
With a ** sound, the villagers seemed to have seen the spectacular scene of big black cattle all over the mountains and plains.
The villagers were still dreaming about the life of a cow queen, but little did they know that sparks had already burst out from the leader's eyes!
Kicked down a stupid and unresponsive man with such force that he almost fell into the river.
If you really push it in and want to fish it out, you will probably have to go to the estuary to fish it out.
"Did you hear that?" Regardless of the man covering his buttocks and screaming on the ground, Old Man Liu shouted again!
"heard it!"
Very good, the response this time is very neat and fast. It seems that this trick of killing the chicken to show the monkey will never go out of style.
That poor man on the ground, why is he not only dull, but also so close to Old Man Liu?
Going to the government to go through the formalities is much more efficient than later generations. While going through the formalities, go to Manager Xue's shop and take out the money that you have prepared.
The money was received and the land deed was issued. The two parties paid with one hand and delivered the goods with the other. At this time, the surname of the one hundred acres of land was changed to the Xiao family.
