Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Yongyang Square.

A notice is posted at the intersection.

Residents gather around to read the notice.

An old man who had read read:

For the demolition of Yongyangfang, all residents in Yongyangfang will be compensated according to the area of ​​the house.

One square meter is compensated at the price of one thousand strings.

When everyone heard this, they shouted that the price was fair.

"Let's go back and build a house quickly, it's too profitable."

The others reacted and all ran home.

The old man continued to read:

The area of ​​the house has already been calculated, and the day of the calculation shall prevail. In addition, the area of ​​newly built houses shall not be included in the scope of compensation.

Those who run away turn back again.

"No, we don't know the news."

"It's a shame, if we had built the house earlier we would have made more money."

"By the way, Niu Er's family has built a lot of sheds in the past two days, isn't his family making a lot of money?"

"How did his family know that it was going to be demolished? Could there be an inside story?"

"Let me just say, why did the two of them build a shed all of a sudden? It turns out that they knew the news in advance."

Niu Er's neighbors are envious of Qing.

At first he laughed at Niu Er for not being able to marry a wife or build a house, but only now did he know that Niu Er had received the news a long time ago.

"This Niu Er is just a handyman, how did he know the news?"

People were puzzled.

The neighbor shook his head, and he couldn't figure out how Niu Er knew about it.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ordered the demolition, which was very efficient.

The announcement was posted in the morning, and people from Jingzhao Mansion came in the afternoon.

Li Xiaogong personally sits in town, surrounded by dozens of boxes of checks.

There was a table, with three accountants beside him, Li Xiaogong sitting under a parasol.

"My lord, is the demolition price given this time too high?"

Mr. Accountant bowed in a low voice.

With one thousand strings and one square meter, you can buy a house in Shengyefang and Chongrenfang.

Of course, these two places are not all about money.

Because this is the place where princes and nobles gather, you must have a status to be eligible to buy a house there.

Li Xiaogong shook his head and said: "The errands entrusted by the emperor must be done well."

"The demolition price of one thousand guan and one square meter is really high, but this can make the people happy and praise the emperor as a wise king."

Li Xiaogong has this consideration, but there is one more thing he didn't say.

Su Yu made it clear that the demolition would be smoothed out if more money was given.

If there is less, there will be nail households.

The price of demolition should be raised to the point where the other party is unable to refuse.

How dare Li Xiaogong not do what Su Yu specifically explained.

That's why we set a price of one thousand per square meter.

Anyway, the money came from Li Shimin's small coffers and had nothing to do with Su Yu.

The guard next to him said: "My lord is wise, but my little one has a few poor relatives here, and they are overjoyed."

"Now everyone is praising the emperor's holiness, saying that your lord has done a great deed."

Li Xiaogong chuckled, he knew it was flattery, so he didn't care.

The people from the yamen's demolition came in, and everyone packed up their things and came out.

Poor people's homes are nothing more than quilts, clothes, bowls and bowls.

After the things were moved, everyone lined up to receive the demolition money.

Li Xiaogong sat in the back, and the accountant checked the information with the officials in charge of household registration in Jingzhao Mansion.

Queue up one by one.

"Niu Er!"

The officer shouted.

Niu Er came up and bowed happily: "My lord."

According to the building area, the accountant made a calculation and said, "Niu Er, the demolition fee should be 200 million yuan."

When everyone heard about Niu Er's demolition money, they all booed.

Li Xiaogong drank tea in the back and almost choked to death.

"and many more!"

Li Xiaogong came out and saw that Niu Er was dressed in a very ordinary way.

Clothes that have been patched a lot, reveal a stubbornness in their honest appearance.

Li Xiaogong came out, and the accountant immediately stood up.

"Give me the booklet of registration information."

Li Xiaogong said coldly.

The household registration officials presented it to Li Xiaogong respectfully.

Holding the notebook, he glanced at Niu Er, then lowered his head to check the information.

Niu Er's scalp was numb from Li Xiaogong's look.

This is the governor of Hejian Wang Jingzhao's residence, a senior official among the senior officials, who is not afraid of him.

Niu Er thought in his heart that it must be because he temporarily built a house and was about to be sent to an official.

The neighbors watching the excitement gloated.

"Let me just say, this Niu Er is cunning, and the mother and son actually built a temporary shed."

"They wanted to swindle money from the government, and this is the way to go."

There was a lot of discussion.

Their most demolition funds are only 10,000+ guan, and Niu Er is actually 200 million guan, who is not jealous.

Li Xiaogong read the information, there is nothing wrong, it is indeed [-] square meters.

hiss.
Could it be that Niu Er is a landlord?
No, Yongyangfang is full of poor people.

"You are Niu Er?"

Li Xiaogong stared at each other, not angry but pretentious.

Niu Er fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowed and said: "My lord, I know my mistake, please forgive me."

"You don't need 200 million guan for the small one, but [-] guan for the small one is enough."

Niu Er's neighbor took the opportunity to run over and knelt on the ground to report him.

"My lord, this Niu Er was originally similar to my house."

"But two days ago, the mother and son suddenly worked hard to build the house, and they didn't rest at night."

"This kind of troublemaker should be arrested and punished."

The neighbor is vicious and wants to kill Niu Er.

Li Xiaogong felt strange, the demolition matter was very secret, this Niu Er was an ordinary commoner, how could he know about it.

"Niu Er, I am asking you."

Li Xiaogong sat down.

I can't stand when I'm old.

Niu Er kowtowed and dared not speak.

"How did you know it was going to be demolished?"

Li Xiaogong asked.

Niu Er kowtowed and said: "Master, I don't know."

The neighbor quickly said: "You don't know why it's such a coincidence to build a house temporarily."

The guard scolded: "My lord is asking questions, you dare to interrupt."

The neighbor was trembling with fright, and he dared not say more.

Li Xiaogong asked: "Then why did you suddenly build a house?"

Is it a coincidence?
It should be wrong.

No one will temporarily build so many houses.

Niu Er bowed: "My lord, I met a son and a middle-aged man in Yongyangfang a few days ago, and he told me to go back and build more houses."

"If you can't afford a house, build more sheds, the better."

"The young one didn't know that this place was going to be demolished at the time. The young one was wronged."

The neighbor got the real hammer and said happily: "My lord, this Niu Er is indeed an informer, and the informer should be arrested and beheaded together."

Li Xiaogong was surprised, who could bring the news from the palace in advance?

"What do the son and the general look like?"

Li Xiaogong asked.

Niu Er didn't know how to describe it, so he just said: "That young master is wearing white clothes, with a golden uncut hair and a green lotus on it."

"That middle-aged man is very burly, but nothing special."

After hearing this, Li Xiaogong gasped.

Golden Pu head, with a green lotus on it.

This is the uncut head given to Su Yu by the queen.

Originally, only Li Shimin and the prince could wear this kind of golden Putou, because it is the royal color.

And Qinglian was embroidered because the queen herself liked it.

"Do you know that young man?"

Li Xiaogong asked quickly.

He was worried that Niu Er was Su Yu's relative.

Niu Er shook his head and said, "I don't know that young master."

Li Xiaogong nodded and said, "I see."

The neighbor didn't know what to do, and kept saying, "My lord, Niu Er is guilty, and that young master is also guilty. They should all be beheaded."

Just as the guard was about to reprimand him, Li Xiaogong spoke first.
