I’m The King

Ten days later, Wen Yi wrapped the deer antler in a torn bag and carried a pole on his shoulders. He walked all the way towards the town. He went to the town to find a guy like before. It was naturally Wen who was walking with him. Cheng, Wen Cheng got a deer leg sent by Wen Yi, and the whole family finally made a tooth sacrifice. Naturally, he was very grateful to Wen Yi.

After entering the town, Wen Yi found a pharmacy and walked in, looking at Wen Yi's dress. Whether it was the guy on the counter or the shopkeeper who was typing on the abacus, he just raised his eyes and looked like a poor man. Ghost, there is no such thing as oil and water.

Wen Yi walked to the counter, put the broken bag on the counter, blushing and hesitated for a moment: "The shopkeeper, do you take things?"

Hearing Wen Yi's words, the shopkeeper looked up at Wen Yi in surprise.

"What do you have? If it is a good thing, we will naturally accept it."

Wen Yi opened his pocket carefully, took out the intact antler from the inside, and gently placed it on the counter.

Looking at the pair of intact antlers, the shopkeeper took a breath. If it is the usual year, this thing is not particularly rare. There are always hunters hitting the Cang'er Mountain, but since last year, the mountain has been troubled. After the bandits, the officers and soldiers closed the mountain, the antler was basically out of stock. The antler was purchased from other places, and the price was terribly high, and it was really not worth it.

He stretched out his hand to pick up the antler and looked up and down. It was intact and undamaged. Looking at the stubble, it was a deer in a mature age. The market price of such a large pair of antler is at least fifty or sixty taels. The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and looked at Wen Yi. Looking at the still new fracture, I suddenly had an idea.

"Twelve taels!" he quoted.

Wen Yi stopped doing it as soon as he heard it, "The shopkeeper. I have inquired about it. The price of this item is at least thirty taels of silver. Look again, such a large and complete velvet antler, but it is rare. Nothing. Thirty taels, I will never sell it."

A listen from the shopkeeper. I am even more sure that Wen Yi is a novice. The thirty taels mentioned by Wen Yi are the prices of the previous two years. The market price of this gadget has long since doubled. At the moment sneered: "Twelve taels of silver, I love to sell it or not."

"No, you're not the only pharmacy in town, I'll take it to another home to sell it." Wen Yi flushed. Wrapped the deer antler in a torn bag, turned around and walked out.

"Young man, don't blame me for not reminding you. There is indeed a drug store in the town, but it was opened by Master Lu. Where do you get this thing, let alone a dozen silver, I'm afraid one or two silver is gone." The voice of the shopkeeper came from behind.

"Master Lu is a big man, it's impossible or impossible to win!" Wen Yi turned his head. Looking at the shopkeeper angrily.

"Master Lu does not take it by force. He will only send you to the prison. Where did this deer antler come from? You entered the Cang'er Mountain. It is now the world of bandits. You can actually take it from there. To the antler, is it a spy for the bandits?" The shopkeeper sneered behind him.

Wen Yi's body froze suddenly, and his feet wanted to step outwards, but they seemed to weigh a thousand catties. "I didn't enter the Cang'er Mountain. I am not a bandit's spy."

"Is it a spy from a bandit? Is it up to you? The officers and soldiers block the roads to the mountain. The average person can't get in the Cang'er Mountain. You can actually hunt deer from it. Does anyone believe this? Young man, I will give you the silver and conceal it for you. It’s kind enough. Master Lu is not so easy to talk. If you want to come, you will also know his power. Take it in his shop. Not only do you give it to antler You swallowed it, even yours swallowed it for you. You still think a dozen silver dollars are missing? Believe it or not, if you expose this velvet antler on the street, someone will immediately arrest you and go to see an official."

The threat in this statement is already very strong.

With a cold sweat on Wen Yi, he turned around and looked at the shopkeeper beggingly, "The shopkeeper, I'm expecting to sell him the money to buy the land, let's add a little more!"

"Buy land?" The shopkeeper glanced at Wen Yi with a little surprise, "Well, I'll add two or two more, there is nothing more, I still have to make money!"

Wen Yi moved to the counter step by step, put the broken bag on the counter together with the antler, a little desperately said: "Okay, twelve taels will be twelve taels. I will sell them to you."

When the shopkeeper heard it, he suddenly turned his anger into joy, took out an ingot from the counter, and then took out some broken silver, and weighed it on a small scale, "Look at the young man, twelve taels, but I have nothing at all. Withhold your scale, I am a conscientious business."

Wen Yi swallowed his anger, what kind of conscience trading, thirty taels of goods, he just gave twelve taels, and threatened himself, do you have such a conscience? Without speaking, he took ten taels of silver into his arms, turned around and left.

"Young man, see you are a real person, let me remind you!" Looking at Wen Yi's back, the shopkeeper suddenly called Wen Yi.

Wen Yi turned around and looked at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper seemed to hesitate for a while before lowering his voice and said, "I advise you, you don't need to buy the land."

Wen Yi glanced at the shopkeeper with some annoyance. As a farmer, it is a lifetime dream to own a piece of land. I finally hoped for such an opportunity. How can I not buy it? Even though it is only twelve taels, I can always pay for it. The first installment, doesn't it mean that it will be paid in three years? I have to pay ten taels first, and I can buy some miscellaneous grains in order to get through these few months.

With more than ten taels of silver in his waist, Wen Yi didn't dare to stay in the town anymore. There was a mixture of dragons and snakes. If he was seen by people, he would beat his sap and bought a hundred jin of miscellaneous grains. , Said hello to Wen Cheng, and went home early.

In the next period of time, the Wen Yi family waited in eager hope. In fact, like him, other people in the village are also looking forward to this day.

Seeing that the official sent someone to measure the land outside the village, Wen Yi's heart became even more anxious. At any rate, he had ten taels of silver in his family. He heard that Wen Cheng said that the family is still raising money everywhere. Originally, Wen Yi was I planned to sell antler for thirty taels of silver and lend it to Wen Cheng a little bit, but now I can only take care of myself, and I can't help Wen Cheng to raise money everywhere.

About half a month later, I finally waited for people from the government to come. At the entrance of the village, a table was set up. An old man sat behind the table with a thick book in front of him. A man dressed as a servant filled the village. Knocking the gong, greeted everyone to gather outside the village.

The whole village is looking forward to this day. Naturally, it came out immediately, and in an instant, everyone’s eyes were full of expectations, and they would finally have their own land. Say, which one is not extremely excited.

The master behind the table coughed a few times, and the whole village was suddenly silent, and everyone's eyes moved with the master's movements.

"Great King Shengming, I'm going to divide the land for you. Master Guo in the county has been ignorant of food and restless sleep this month, just to do this thing well. Now he finally has his eyebrows and the land has been measured. It’s divided into blocks. Come today, just register, collect money, and if you pay, you can get the land. If you don’t pay, hehehe, then you can only wait for the moment. When will the money be raised? When can I get the ground?" After the master cleared his throat, he finally spoke.

"Master, doesn't it mean that you can pay it back in three years without paying?" An old man said tremblingly, it seems that the family hasn't raised the money again.

"The imperial court's proclamation said so, but there are local realities in each place. We in Ziyang, however, need to pay all the money in one lump sum, especially in your place. You are not allowed to miss a penny. Your village, but last year caused troubles. The bandit's nest, although a wave of people were killed last year, but who knows if there are any bandit spies in it!" The master's tone immediately became cold. "If you need it, please register right away. I can talk about it on a first-come, first-served basis. The land in Ziyang County is also limited. There are many people in each town. After passing this village, there is no such thing. The shop is here, and you will be late and no land, don’t say that the king is unkind, you don’t want it yourself."

Amid the noise, many people once again showed a desperate look. They were expecting to pay it back in three years, but now it seems that there is no way at all.

Wen Yi gritted his teeth and walked forward, "Master, I want land."

"Okay!" Seeing that there was a beginning, the master was overjoyed and raised his pen, "How many people are there in the family?"

"Three mouths, me, my woman, and a doll."

"Three mouths are thirty acres of land, a total of sixty taels of silver!" The master smiled and put down his pen.

Wen Yi was shocked, "Sixty taels, isn't it thirty taels? Didn't the court's notice say ten taels of silver per mu?"

"It seems that you are also a person who listened to the proclamation of the imperial court. UU reading www.uukanshu.com did say that the imperial court really said that there are a dozen taels of silver, but there are a few more words that you didn't listen to carefully? The ministry adjusts itself, these twenty-two taels are the reality of our Ziyang County."

Wen Yi suddenly wilted, sixty taels of silver, which needs to be paid in one lump sum, but he only has twelve taels.

"I don't have that much money?" Wen Yi said dejectedly.

"If you don't have money, you can borrow a loan!" The master smiled and said authentically: "I will show you a way. The Lu family in the town is putting money away. If you borrow tens of taels of silver, you can buy 30 acres of land. As long as you are diligent One point, you can earn it back in one or two years, and then the 30 mu of land will be yours."

"Borrowing?" Wen Yi naturally knew that this loan was a loan shark, but he was looking forward to the land for a long time, but he couldn't get it, but he was not reconciled. The master was right. He borrowed money and bought land. After a few years of hard work, I can always pay off. When the time comes, the land will be my own. The most important thing is that when my son grows up, he can have dozens of acres of land beside him. Desolate.

Looking back at the son in the woman's arms, Wen Yi quickly made up his mind. (To be continued)
