Chapter 57 A Little Gift (Please recommend for collection)

Li Jian arranged everyone to live in this house, and then asked the old slave to go to Jiangyuan County to buy some vegetables and meat.

Chef Wang carried an iron pan and a kitchen knife with him, so if he worked harder, everyone could have a good meal.

Besides, the mouths of this group of people have been spoiled, and the dry food is really hard to swallow.

After an hour, everyone gathered together and had a full meal, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Along the way, Zhang Yuan talked with Li Jian and finally gained some understanding of these nobles in the Han Dynasty.

The city is not for ordinary people to live in. The houses within the city walls are almost all wealthy and powerful families. The people who own their own land will place their homes around the farmland to form villages and towns.

Li Jian's family's fields are usually taken care of by tenant farmers, and it is enough to pay taxes to their family every year.

The houses in these cities are not expensive. Because they have to travel everywhere, the Li family bought houses in Chengdu and Jiangyuan.

Zhang Yuan also asked where he could buy cultivated land, and Li Jian also answered.

He said that if Zhang Yuan wanted to buy land, he could contact someone when he went to Chengdu. Some farmers who wanted to do business or engage in other industries would choose to sell their land first.

In fact, Zhang Yuan didn't want to live in the city either. If he could buy a large piece of land on the outskirts of Chengdu, it would be better to live in the countryside.

Dahan's relatively free land buying and selling policy prevented Zhang Yuan from going to great lengths to complete the system's tasks.

After traveling to the Han Dynasty, except for some conflicts with Zhuo Wangsun in recent days, Zhang Yuan has been going smoothly.

The same is true for the migration process this time. There was no danger on the road, and we arrived in Chengdu in the afternoon of the second day very smoothly.

Li Jian's family has two houses in Chengdu, and Zhang Yuan directly asked him to take him to the larger one.

There is no other reason, I promised to find wives for these rough guys before, so I have to honor it, and it would be great if I could live quietly in Chengdu this time.

But when Li Jian brought Zhang Yuan to their door, Zhang Yuan finally knew what a big family was.

This can no longer be called a house. Is this a mansion? It is not a problem for 200 people to live there.

Moreover, there are also inner and outer courts, and Zhang Yuan and Li Jian are now walking in the inner court.

"How much does Brother Li's mansion cost?"

The most practical question must be asked first, Zhang Yuan was afraid that he could not afford such a big house.

"If Mr. Zhang wants to buy it, he only needs a hundred gold pancakes."

Hearing Li Jian tell the price, Zhang Yuan felt relieved, and now he can still afford it.

“Well, let’s just take this house, we will go to the government to trade tomorrow.

As for the purchase of fields outside the city, I have to trouble Brother Li. "

At first, Li Jian thought that Zhang Yuan might not be able to afford the money, and was thinking about whether to let Zhang Yuan live first, and wait until he had money later, but Zhang Yuan agreed immediately, so that he would have the financial resources for Zhang Yuan. A new perception.

"For the purchase of fields outside the city, Mr. Zhang, who do you think you want to let your subordinates handle?"

If you buy a self-cultivated farmer's land, you will naturally have to bear that part of the tax. The current farmer's tax is [-] yuan. If Zhang Yuan buys [-] mu of land, he only needs to pay one mu of land income per year.

But right now he has no official position, so he can't buy land to become a farmer, he can only let someone hold it on his behalf.

"Let Ah Huang go."

Just find someone to do things like holding the land on behalf of others, but Li Jian reminded Zhang Yuan that in the future, if there are some business transactions, he must find a businessman to do it instead of him.

You must be cautious in your actions. At this time, a person's identity is very important.

"Okay, since it's decided, let everyone move in."

Because Zhang Yuan wanted to watch the house with Li Jian, and he didn't know which house he would eventually buy, he asked Xiao Qing and the others to wait in an inn.

Directly ordering the old slaves in Li Jian's family to find Xiao Qing and the others, Zhang Yuan and Li Jian continued to wait in the mansion.

After Xiaoqing and the others came, they did not expect that Zhang Yuan would buy such a large mansion, so Xiaoqing sneaked up behind Zhang Yuan and asked how much it cost.

After hearing that it was still within Zhang Yuan's affordability, Xiao Nizi began to worry about how long it would take her to clean such a large mansion every day.

"My lord, if this house is bought, the servant girl will have to clean it twelve hours a day. Let's change it to a smaller one."

"Haha, don't worry, I won't let you finish all the work by yourself. Isn't there still old Zhao Xiong and them here?"

Everyone is very happy, although it may be impossible to do the previous work after coming here.

The people living around this mansion are also nobles. If they strike iron here, it is estimated that someone will call the door the next day.

"Yeah, we have nothing to do in the future, so we will help Xiaoqing clean the house."

Li Jian wisely didn't bother Zhang Yuan and the others. Moving to a new house is always a happy thing. What Xiao Qing said just now woke him up. He should also prepare a gift for Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan found out that Li Jian disappeared at dinner time at night, but the Li family still had a house in Chengdu, Zhang Yuan was not worried about him, and thought he had gone to that house.

After everyone had finished eating, Li Jian came back, followed by twenty women of various colors.

"Brother Li, what is this?"

Zhang Yuan directly thought that Li Jian went to a brothel.

"Haha, I heard from your maid in the afternoon that this house is a bit bigger, so it's troublesome to clean it on weekdays.

I think so too, just a dozen or so of you live together, and you are less popular. Zhang Yuan, you always call me Brother Li, so I have to celebrate your housewarming and give you a present. "

Li Jian's gift is the twenty women behind him.

"Are these the maidservants you bought?"

Zhang Yuan was shocked. Even Zhuo Wang’s Sun’s family could only buy slaves when others voluntarily sold themselves or the government copied a certain big family. Li Jian went out and bought twenty maidservants. Zhang Yuan was a little confused.

"That's right, I bought all of these from a friend's house. I originally wanted to buy more and they didn't like it, so I just had to do this for the time being."

Although Li Jian didn't say how much he spent, it must not be cheap. Faced with this kind of kindness, although Zhang Yuan resisted in his heart, he still persuaded himself to accept it. After all, it is far more difficult for these women to enter his mansion than Much happier with other people.

"Then I will thank Brother Li."

"It's a joke, when we go to the government to complete the transaction tomorrow, I have a gift to give you."

And gifts?This time I can't send the girl who warms the bed.
