Chapter 141: High-priced docks and enthusiastic exes

Both Zhang Liang and Tiedan's faces were not very good. The two young people were also majestic when they were in the capital. Whoever saw them was respectful when they saw them. I originally thought that they would be even more awesome than the capital.

However, in fact, they left Dengzhou City with the third butler from "Ban Dengzhou" this morning, and the third butler did not give them any good looks. The third butler is also surnamed Dong. According to a large landlord with a scale of more than 100,000 acres, such as Dong Qianping, the senior managers in the family are basically relatives of the same clan.

Butler Dong San was sitting in a carriage, Zhang Liang and Tiedan were riding a horse, and the craftsman Jiang Feng told him to follow behind in a carriage.

"I think those officials in the capital are not so arrogant. They are just a three-man, so why are they so powerful?"

Zhang Liang spitted at the edge and said viciously that he was Jiang Feng's apprentice, and his relationship was the closest among Jiang Feng's men. Moreover, after Jiang Feng was promoted to a thousand households, Zhang Liang would definitely not be able to escape from a hundred households. So he could say some things casually.

Tiedan was smiling bitterly and didn't interfere. When he woke up in the morning, the middle-aged man had already made an appointment with both parties to meet in the Dong Mansion. As a result, the two of them rode horses and took the people over. The other party delayed an hour before they came out. The two were quite impatient, but the middle-aged man persuaded them with great sincerity:

"This is the Dong family. Please bear it. In our Dengzhou Prefecture, Mr. Dong is the god!"

After the third housekeeper came out, he ignored the two young people who had been waiting in the cold wind for a long time and said directly to the middle-aged man:

"You are so old and you are getting less and less eye-catching. Is the Dong family still short of money? I want the Third Master to come out to entertain me? Our master said that it is not easy for a foreigner to go and choose from thirty taels of silver per acre of land."

Tiedan over there was already prepared to hug Zhang Liang tightly, and shouted in a low voice:

"This is not our capital. The master said he would buy it first after thirty taels of silver, and he would have a foothold first."

Zhang Liang's irritability, butler Dong San naturally saw it. Thirty taels of silver per acre of land is indeed equivalent to robbery. Although it is generally not sold in the landlord's family, the land sale in Dengzhou Prefecture, three taels of silver per acre of land is considered high, and for bulk purchases, one tael of silver per acre of land is not low.

However, the price mentioned above is from the locals. I remember when someone told Dong Qianping about Jiang Feng's land sale, Dong Qianping smiled and said:

"What does an outsider want to buy so much land? Is it because of farming and rent? This kind of bad rule cannot start with our family. Tell him twenty taels of silver per acre of land, and don't sell it if it is less. Let's say hello to the Wang family and we will take the land on the beach first."

The nearby Qianhu Office is going to come to guard the Qianhu Office. Naturally, the power of the Dong family in Dengzhou Prefecture City has known for a long time. Someone reminded Dong Qianping:

"Master, please give him some face. Isn't the second young master still staying in the Qianhu House?"

When Dong Qianping heard this, he sneered:

"Face, I want me to give him face. What's the face of a small Dai Qianhu? If the second child loses a hair on the mountain, hum..."

When the sun was about to set, we arrived at the destination. There were only three or four families there, which was to transfer to the officials who were raising the mountain. There were relatively flat hills and peaceful land around Dengzhou Prefecture, so we could farm, but when we arrived at Yantai Mountain, there was basically no place to drop hoes. With the sea, the sea in the north was breeze and salt was quite heavy, so no crops could grow on the ground.

Such a place also costs 30 taels per acre of land. Zhang Liang was furious, but the three butlers in front were happy. He was a local snake, so he knew that Jiang Feng had brought hundreds of people here from outside, and probably brought the whole clan to Dengzhou to take root here.

Nowadays, hundreds of families can't live in inns, you must buy a house by yourself to live in, and you must have land to grow food in the future. Since you want to buy land, you can only ask the Dong Mansion to discuss it in this Dengzhou Prefecture City. Even if other landlords have land, they dare not sell it to them.

Butler Dong San himself added five taels to the price of each acre of land, but the two young men who looked stupid actually agreed at once, and now he became very excited.

Although it was almost dusk and the sea breeze was getting colder and colder, the craftsman who brought him stood on the carriage and looked at the land by the sea, but Butler Dong San ignored it at all. He had been treated with respect by three or four families here, serving them with great wine and food.

After the housekeeper Dong San woke up in a hangover at noon the next day, Zhang Liang and his group had already chosen the land, with the coastline as the edge and the foot of the mountain as the sides, which was about 400 acres in size. Although there were fishermen in Dengzhou, there were giant gentry like Dong's mansion cared about the small money for fishing in the sea.

So even if it is idle here, there are no fishermen or other fishermen. Speaking of which, there are more fishermen here, namely Jiang Feng and Zhao Xiucai, who came to buy Haiyanzi. In this place now, there are fortresses on the mountain, and the other is that they are far away from Dengzhou Prefecture, and the transportation is inconvenient, so they cannot develop a fishing village at all.

Although the three housekeepers who came out to deal with the land sale were the third housekeepers, when they came, the three housekeepers were also reminded that they could not sell good land, those around the official roads could not be sold, and those sensitive places could not be sold. Our Dong family operated such a large industry in Dengzhou Prefecture, so we must be careful in everything.

However, the four hundred acres of land in front of me, except for the sand and the sea surface in the distance, there was no valuable place. Are you going to fish? It was only a few dollars and it couldn't be exchanged for grain and salt. If it was so simple, it would be salted, and the people at the seaside would be salt merchants.

The 400 acres of land is 12,000 taels in total, and you can get two to three thousand taels of silver. Thinking of this, the third housekeeper made up his mind and sold it in the place where the bird did not lay eggs, and there would be no accidents. At that time, he negotiated a deal with Zhang Liang and the middle-aged man.

As long as the contract document is returned to the city, if it is notarized, it will be settled, and the third housekeeper's face does not have the arrogance he had when he came. After all, it is thousands of taels of silver in his pocket. If you are not polite to others, you must be polite to the money.

On the way back, the three butlers and the middle-aged man were sitting in the carriage in front. The butler Dong San said in a low voice:

"It's still someone from the capital. He's really stupid and has a lot of money!"

Both the middle-aged man and the coachman heard this whisper. They were stunned at first, and then they laughed loudly. Tiedan and Zhang Liang were riding on horses on the left and right, holding the craftsman's carriage. The craftsman had already drawn a rough pattern with his pen, and looked up and said with certainty to the two young men:

"It can be used as a port there, at least a thousand materials (stones, units of measurement for the size of a ship) are not a problem."

More than 100 households and 600 families, the food, clothing, housing and transportation in Dengzhou City is only more than 100 taels of silver. In Jiang Feng's eyes, this is nothing. The amount he should earn every day in Huifenglou in the capital is more than 100 taels of money, and the biggest investment now is the sea boat.

Anyway, the Chinese New Year is approaching, so Jiang Feng didn't plan to mobilize too much, so he simply asked these people to spend a stable New Year in the city. In the capital, Nanjing, Suzhou and Hangzhou, residents all live in the city. Although the rich and powerful families also have manors outside the city, they still live in the city.

However, in the following medium-sized prefectures, the wealthy families have houses in the city, but most of them live in their own manors. Whatever they want is much more comfortable than what they want, such as Dong Qianping and those big landlords. If their farms add up, they will probably have one-third of the size of this prefecture.

It is precisely because he does not live in the city that Jiang Feng’s affairs in the city are much more convenient. Those families living in Tiedin and residents in Dengzhou City, who live in the hunters, are extremely irresistible to make this extra money, and they still hope that the other party will live for a longer time.

So although it is chaotic in Dengzhou City, it is not rushed.

After reading the notarized land deeds in the yamen, Jiang Feng secretly put down a stone in his heart and opened a private port by the beach. If he was targeted by someone who was interested, it would be a big crime. However, no one would have thought that a thousand households guarding thousands of households and carrying hundreds of clan members would have any reason to buy land in large quantities. Of course, he wanted to resettle clan members.

The old and weak, who were originally hostage-like, now have such convenience. I really didn't expect that the next step is to arrange the port after going up the mountain.

At this time, Jiang Feng was receiving an unexpected guest. Although the conditions in the passenger station were not as good as the capital, there was also a separate courtyard dedicated to wealthy families. Jiang Feng was now used as a place to receive guests. Sitting at the bottom of Jiang Feng was a powerful and tall officer wearing the regular clothes of a thousand-house military officer.

Although Jiang Feng was surprised, his expression seemed quite intimate and said with a smile:

"Chen Qianhu actually came to my brothers to visit first. I really feel bad about my etiquette. I am ashamed. I wonder if Chen Qianhu has any advice?"

In his heart, the officers in the ward were all vacancies and were greedy for military pay. There were places where they were willing to move easily. However, Jiang Feng himself looked down on the little money, so he was ready to spend some blood to let the thousand households leave, but the next thing was greatly surprised.

"It's okay, it's okay. I don't know when Lord Jiang will handle the handover procedures with his brother? Could it be that there is any inconvenience to delay? Is it a little trouble to resettle the tribe members? Tell Chen that you will definitely get the right to handle it as soon as possible."

Chen Qianhu's mighty face is full of enthusiasm now...
