Da Cang night watchman

Chapter 573 Buying the Land of Banfu
"How much is this person's bid?" Chen Jia asked harmoniously.

"The bid is very incomprehensible. This person pays three taels of silver per mu regardless of dry or paddy fields," said the steward.

"There's no reason for that!" Chen Jiahe said, "Three liang of silver per mu for a dry field is reasonable, and the price of a good paddy field is the same as that of a dry field?"

The housekeeper said: "The little man told him that just now, and this man laughed at the little man, saying that from now on, where will Nanshan come from paddy fields? Isn't it all dry fields?"

Chen Jiahe's face changed drastically: "Where do you think this person is from?"

"A native of Zhongzhou, it is said that he grew up in the capital when he was a child, so it is reasonable to say that he is a native of the capital."

Chen Jiahe's face changed: "Please come in..."

The person who came in was a man of great style, in his 30s, with an attendant, wearing extremely luxurious clothes, and spoke a fluent Beijing accent.

Chen Jiahe intended to catch his words. Although this person tried his best to conceal it, he casually mentioned all the court officials in the capital, which seemed to be very familiar, which gave Chen Jiahe a very special feeling.

When this person mentioned the situation in Nanshan, he implicitly stated that the situation in Nanshan was related to the overall situation of the court. The prefect Lin was sent to Nanshan because it was King Lu Yang who opposed them. It will become a battleground between the two powers. Ordinary people, it is better not to be caught in it...

As soon as this message came out, Chen Jiahe's back was covered with cold sweat.

In the court battle, the people are almost all the minced meat under the meat grinder. It doesn't matter whether you are a powerful party or a big landlord with thousands of acres of fertile land. Compared with the court officials, the general situation of the world is nothing?

I can't stay here anymore.

Especially not owning a lot of land.

Hurry up and sell the real estate, so as not to attract the attention of the tree and cause unbearable disasters...

So, he started talking about the price.

In terms of price, this visitor doesn’t bargain at all, just say as much as you want. If you talk too much, he plans to get up and leave, leaving a shocking sentence: After tomorrow, you will take the initiative to sell it to me, and the price needs to be reduced by one to two cents , ten days later, if you want to sell it again, there may be no one to take over.

So, Chen Jiahe gritted his teeth and sold it!

The same drama is repeated every day in the seven counties of Nanshan Prefecture...

The purchase price is going down step by step...

Three taels on the first day, two taels on the second day, and two taels on the third day. After holding on for three days, a few stubborn landlords let go and wanted to make a deal at the price on the first day. He didn't give up an inch of land, so he got up and left. On the fourth day, two, two or six dollars...

This panic broke the psychological defense of hundreds of landlords in Nanshan Prefecture.

Finally, half a month after Lin Su announced that he would confront King Lu Yang head-on, the whole line collapsed...

The winter moon has passed, the twelfth lunar month has come, and on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the three of them strolled by the river outside Nanshan City.

Lin Su, Yuan Ji, He Xingong.

They were all dressed in casual clothes, and there were no guards behind them, just like two young ladies and gentlemen going out for an autumn walk, accompanied by a housekeeper.

"It's been more than half a month!" He Xingong let out a sigh of relief: "My lord, I really don't want to find a way to talk to King Lu Yang?"

Lin Su stopped in his tracks, and looked at He Xingong's worried face.

He Xingong added: "Yesterday, the magistrates of the seven counties reported that most of the crops in the fields were dead, and the people were extremely worried. They don't know how to survive this winter."

Lin Su nodded: "There is one more case. There is a new merger in the land, isn't it?"

"Exactly! Big landlords with more than [-] mu in seven counties have collectively sold their land properties. This matter is no small matter, but any such major incidents represent a major defeat of local governance."

This sentence is objective. In the land under your jurisdiction, the big landlords began to sell their properties, which shows that you cannot be trusted at all in the eyes of the people. There is no hope for this place.

Just poke this thing up, and the top will wipe you off immediately.

Lin Su smiled lightly: "Master He, have you ever wondered why Nanshan has always been poor?"

"A large amount of real estate is in the hands of a few people. Ordinary people can only rent land from these landlords. The rent is as high as [-] to [-]% of the total harvest. How can they survive?"

"Exactly!" Lin Su said: "The annexation of the land is also the curse of the dynasty! If the curse is not removed, the people will not be able to become truly prosperous. This is the key reason why I don't rush to negotiate with King Luyang. Because I need help The pressure of 'no water' will solve the real problem of Nanshan Prefecture once and for all!"

He Xingong's whole body was shocked: "My lord means..."

Lin Sudao: "There is a sequence for the two moves. The first move is to break the curse of land annexation in Nanshan Prefecture, and the second move is to completely solve the Yanghu waterway. The order cannot be wrong!"

He Xingong was really surprised: "My lord, but the current land annexation has not been resolved, even if these big landlords sell off their land and real estate, ordinary people have no money to buy it, and in the end a few big bosses from the capital bought it. Mergers continue."

Lin Su smiled: "There is no capital boss, only one person! The person who bought these properties is my long-term follower, Li San!"

He Xingong's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't believe his ears at all.

The long-term follower, Li San, said why he hadn't seen this long-term follower during this period of time.

It turned out that he was sent out to collect land and real estate.

How rich can Li San be?

Is it not clear that he bought it for him?
According to the statistics of county officials, more than 200 mu of land was acquired during this period, and the average price of two to six was close to two million taels of silver.

How many people in the world can smash millions of taels of silver?

Lin Su, Master Lin, you play so big, aren't you afraid of messing it up?Not to mention your money, but just talking about your large-scale mergers, even His Majesty the King will have ideas.You, Lin Su, have directly turned the entire Nanshan Mansion into your own private land, what do you want to do?Build your own independent kingdom?
In the past dynasties, those who dared to do this basically had only one end, that is, ransacking their families and exterminating their clans!
Lin Su glanced at him: "I know what you think, you will say, you are playing with fire, you are looking for death, right?"

"Hey..." He Xingong sighed deeply and didn't answer directly, but this sigh basically approved his judgment.

Lin Su said: "Why am I willing to expose my wealth? Why am I willing to arouse the fear of others? However, the situation in Nanshan will definitely be difficult to change."

He Xingong sighed again: "What Master Lin said is very true. If you don't use strong medicine, you won't see the real power. It's just that if the master's move fails, it will be difficult to move an inch in the officialdom."

"How far do you really think I will go in the officialdom?" Lin Su said, "I will keep everything from you, I just hope that after I leave Nanshan, you can take up this burden."

He Xingong bowed deeply: "My lord, thank you for your importance to me, I will not hide it from my lord, before this, if any magistrate said this to me, I would be ecstatic, but The same words came from Master Lin, what the subordinates felt was not the joy of being promoted, but fear and responsibility."

"Fear and responsibility are right! If you can understand these two words, you have already obtained the essence of officialdom!" Lin Su laughed loudly: "You don't have to follow me, go back, get ready, in the afternoon, bring four The head of Sibafang and our army of police officers are going to Luyang Palace!"

He Xingong's eyes brightened: "My lord, is this going to solve the waterway of Yanghu Lake?"

"Yanghu waterway, the tiger's mouth has its teeth pulled out, hehe, I want to see how much weight this local snake, King Luyang, can have."

He Xingong went back, full of excitement...

Lin Su has been in Nanshan for 20 days and has never visited King Lu Yang.

The Yanghu waterway has also become a common pain point for the entire Nanshan Mansion.

And today is the time to solve the Yanghu waterway.

Can it be solved?

How to solve it?

Could it be that you are throwing money at it again?
Standing at the level of He Xingong, this is probably all he can think of.

Lin Su strolled towards the front, and there was a vegetable field in front of him. Although there was a lack of water, the vegetables in the field were still lush and green. After all, it has been on the side of the river for a long time, and the water in the soil cannot be drained in a short while.

Behind the vegetable field is a bamboo forest. At the junction of the bamboo forest and the vegetable field, there is a thatched hut. The hut is not big, just an ordinary farm house, but for some reason, Lin Su feels quite unusual.

Yuan Ji's voice came from behind: "It's a good idea for you to use money to stun King Lu Yang, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve what you want. King Lu Yang is not someone who lacks money, he is fighting for the prestige of the prince. The most important thing Yes, this waterway is something that lasts forever, even if you have obtained the right to use it this year, what about next year? He will still control you from time to time."

"You think I'll throw money at him?" Lin Su smiled lightly.

"No money?"

"No matter how much money I have, it won't be possible for anyone, cat or dog, to get a piece of the pie..." His voice stopped abruptly, and he stared at a village girl who came out of the hut in front of him, a little dazed.

As soon as Yuan Ji looked forward, her lips clenched tightly.

You bastard big S ghost, any woman has straight eyes?
This village girl has sparse hair and a yellow face. Although her facial features are not ugly, they are definitely not beautiful, and can even be said to be a bit ugly.

Such female robbers only steal money but not sex when they meet them. If you just pick one of your wives out, which one won't crush her?

"Hello, little beauty!" Lin Su greeted warmly.

The village girl seemed to be taken aback. She looked back and looked around, but she didn't see any other beauties. Her eyes immediately had doubts. Who is the name of the person in front of her?
"Is this the vegetable you grew?" Lin Su raised his finger and pointed to the vegetable field below.

The village girl finally confirmed that the little beauty was referring to herself!

I rely on!

From birth till now, who ever called it that?
This blind man...

"Is the young master asking to talk to the little girl?" The village girl was not very confident after all.

"Of course!" Lin Su stepped over the short fence and came to her: "What's your name?"

"..." The village girl didn't answer right away. Do I really have to say the girl's name?

Lin Su added: "Little beauty doesn't want to say that's fine, I just call you little beauty, hey, little beauty, are you a local?"

The village girl can't help it: "Young master, don't make fun of the little girl. The little girl's nickname is Yaogu. She is not a local. She came here half a month ago. The owner of this hut intends to sell the land, so the little girl bought it. It's..."
