To be honest, Han Wang Li Yuanjia is extremely satisfied with Fang's wife. Fang is good-looking, and Li Yuanjia, who is a young admirer, naturally likes her. Since they got married, the couple has become Qin Se and Ming En. Besides,
He himself was a bit soft-tempered, and liked the elegance of scholars, and was very impatient with trivial matters in the palace. Fang inherited her mother's neatness and kept the palace in order, which earned her even more respect from Li Yuanjia.
As for the matter of taking concubines, Li Yuanjia doesn't think it is a big deal. What's so strange about a prince, an emperor, and a nobleman, having three wives and four concubines? Besides, he is also a common problem among men. He is greedy for novelty and has not yet been obsessed with the newcomer.
The dispute between the Fang family and the Cao family was that he was negligent at best and had harmed the Fang family's face, causing the Fang family to run back to her parents' home in anger. As a result, her brother-in-law, who was not stingy, quit.
Already...
In Li Yuanjia's view, Fang is good at everything. The only shortcoming that is not a shortcoming is that this brother-in-law is too tough, too domineering, and too awesome...
Li Yuanjia was a gentle and gentle gentleman with extensive knowledge, but he somewhat looked down upon the rough and rude Fang Jun.
But I still can’t afford to offend...
This time he came to inform Fang Jun to buy land. On the one hand, it was His Majesty's order. On the other hand, he wanted to give Fang Jun a favor and make Fang Jun think of him. After telling Fang about this last night, he
Mrs. Fang was very happy, thinking that she could take her brother into consideration, and she was very gentle.
But who would have thought, Fang Jun had such an attitude...
Even if your second wife is rich, it’s thousands of acres of prime paddy fields. It’s still a way to start a family and start a business. You have to be a little grateful, right?
The result?
They didn't take it seriously at all, but seemed to follow him to see the place to give him some face, which made Li Yuanjia feel depressed.
Hearing that Fang Jun was about to go out, Qiao'er and Zheng Xiuer hurriedly sent them a fur cloak and fur hat, and waited for Fang Jun to put them on at the gate.
Fang Jun glanced at Zheng Xiuer.
This woman was originally considered a noble lady, but her family was ruined, and she became a lowly citizen and became homeless. Although she was still a young lady, her status as a lowly family member, coupled with the disgraceful experience of having lived in a brothel,
Based on my experience, it is basically impossible to marry someone to become the first wife.
Although the social atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty was relatively open, such a girl could not be married off to a respectable family, and she would be ridiculed. At best, she would just be a concubine, or find a man to marry...
This girl is very thoughtful, and she probably knows her own conditions and situation, and has no regrets. Instead, she wholeheartedly stays in the village and works as a maid, and there is no sign of any dissatisfaction.
This made Fang Jun have to look at this girl differently.
In this era, status means everything.
It is indeed not easy to go from a high-ranking and well-dressed lady from a well-known family to a slave girl in someone else's family, and to be able to accept it calmly and without any regrets.
Fang Jun put on his coat and fur hat, nodded to the two girls, then turned and walked out of the door.
At the gate, Xi Junmai had already brought the horse and was waiting there. Li Yuanjia's entourage was also waiting.
Everyone got on their horses, Fang Jun took Xi Junmai and another general, and a group of more than ten people rode down the mountain road.
*****
The land Li Yuanjia was talking about is close to Bashui and not far from Baqiao.
More than a dozen riders came to the field at lightning speed, slowed down their horses, and drove slowly along the road by the river.
Fang Jun glanced at Li Yuanjia and said, "I didn't realize it. He's pretty good at equestrian skills, and he's not exactly a nerd."
Li Yuanjia's followers all looked strange when they heard this.
These people are very familiar with the prince's brother-in-law, and they all know that this person is not easy to mess with, but it is indeed rare to open or close their mouths to ridicule their brother-in-law.
Li Yuanjia's face turned a little dark.
As luck would have it, Li Yuanjia turned a deaf ear to Fang Jun's words. He raised his hand, pointed at the open area by the river with his riding crop, and said: "This is all, about 2,100 acres, from the river to the foot of the mountain.
This field is a rare paddy field at the foot of Lishan Mountain. It is very fertile and has a high yield. This was a gift from Emperor Gaozu when Li Yuanchang was granted the title of King of Lu. It is also the best farmland in Guanzhong.
.”
Fang Jun nodded.
Li Yuanchang was killed for treason, and the whole family was implicated, but there seemed to be no sadness in Li Yuanjia's words. Perhaps this is the so-called lack of family ties in the Tian family. When too many interests are entangled, family ties will also disappear.
It’s nothing…
A follower behind Li Yuanjia stepped forward and said: "This land covers a total of 2,150 acres. The southern boundary is adjacent to Princess Changle's fiefdom, and the northern boundary is the ancestral property of the Yongning County Duke's family."
The Duke of Yongning County is Wang Gui.
Wang Gui is also one of the great scholars in the world and is highly valued by His Majesty Li Er. However, the old man is too old and is in poor health this year. He resigned from the post of Minister of Rites and recuperates at home. Otherwise, Fang Jun's immediate boss when he was in the Ministry of Rites was
This is it.
Fang Jun glanced at the entourage, and the man cupped his hands and said with a smile: "My Excellency, Li Yuanwen, works at Zongzheng Temple."
Fang Jun nodded and returned the salute with his hands raised: "Long time to look up to you."
Then Li Yuanwen said: "Erlang, you're welcome. This land is very regular, with neat and clear boundaries. The soil fertility is very good. There is no need to cultivate the soil fertility. The fields and waterways in the land only need to be cleaned by someone, and it can be cultivated in the spring."
The words clearly imply that there is no need to worry too much and the key is to buy it quickly. Many people are watching.
In this era, almost no one understands the barrenness and fertility of the land better than Fang Jun. However, the almost endless land in front of him is covered with thick white snow, making it impossible to observe carefully, but he does not think that Li Yuanjia is free to make a piece of it.
The barren land comes to amuse itself.
Then he nodded and asked: "Brother, since we have agreed, I naturally have nothing to say. I wonder how much this piece of land will cost?"
Li Yuanjia glanced at Fang Jun strangely, coughed, and said, "This eldest son of Prince Liang..."
Li Cheng, Prince of Liang, was the eldest son of Tang Shizu Li Bing and the elder brother of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan.
I am the same generation as Li Yuanjia.
But when it comes to Fang Jun, this generation is a bit confusing.
Fang Jun's eldest sister Fang is Li Yuanjia's royal concubine, so he can naturally call Li Yuanwen his brother; but his unmarried wife, Princess Gaoyang, is Li Yuanjia, Li Yuanwen's niece. From this point of view, Fang Jun has to call her brother.
uncle……
Fang Jun blinked and saw, a little confused, not knowing how this generation should be arranged.
Li Yuanwen, on the other hand, was quite kind. He laughed and said, "I have a good relationship with Yuan Jia, so let's talk about it from Yuan Jia's side. How old is Chi? When Erlang called me brother, I licked my face and agreed!"
Although it is an upright royal family, there are so many miscellaneous people in the royal family that it is inevitable that there will be distance between relatives. This Li Yuanwen is only the son of brother Li Yuan. Although he has the status of the royal family, he is not as powerful as Fang Xuanling, an important minister who dominates the government and the public.
But it is definitely not the same.
Keeping a low profile in front of Fang Jun and deliberately making good friends is naturally the proper meaning of the question.
After being polite, Li Yuanwen said: "Such high-quality paddy fields have always been priced but not marketable. Unless the family property is confiscated, other people will not give up such heirloom farmland no matter how embarrassed they are."
Originally, Zongzheng Temple’s price was twelve guan per mu of land, but Yuanjia and his subordinates have all said hello, let’s settle the bill in a round number, 20,000 guan, what do you think Erlang said?”
In these days, land is the lifeblood.
The first thing that almost all wealthy officials and businessmen from aristocratic families do when they have money is to buy land, buy land, keep buying land! In the soul of the farming nation, only land is the wealth that can be passed down to the family, and money and money are the only wealth that can be passed down to the family.
They are all external things and cannot be counted. Only when you hold the land deed in your hand can you be called a noble family.
The land has been integrated into the soul of this nation.
This kind of fertile land is usually in the hands of wealthy families, who regard it as the foundation of the family and should be passed down from generation to generation. No one will sell it unless they destroy the family.
Don't look at the fact that Li Yuanwen only paid 20,000 yuan, which was charged according to the market price. If you really want to buy it from someone else, you won't be able to buy it even if the price is doubled ten times.
