Xiaoqi

Just when Mrs. Zhen was slightly distracted, Guo Jiagong asked in a low voice: "My son-in-law wants to ask Madam, is Guo Tu, the counselor under Yuan Shao's tent, having any conflicts of interest with the Zhen family? A big bonus?"

"Eh? This is my Zhen family's business secret. As of now, except for me and the head of the chamber of commerce sent to Wei County by the Zhen family, few people know about it. How does Feng Xiao know about this?" Zhen said with a surprised expression.

"Oh, that's true." Guo Jia said to himself with a dazed expression.Then he turned to look at Li Li.He said in a respectful voice: "After listening to what the lord said just now, this subordinate can't help but think of Guo Tu, the counselor under Yuan Shao's tent, and Yuan Shao's decision should come from Guo Tu. This subordinate dare not hide the lord's words, Guo Tu and I are the same. Brother of the same clan, he is my clan brother outside of the fifth server. He was my classmate for many years and took good care of me and my mother. I was invited by him when I joined Yuan Shao's tent before. This person is just like me. His family has fallen , but unwilling to suffer, he was involved in business affairs before he became an official, so as to supplement his family.

Therefore, the subordinates thought that Yuan Shao's move was most likely a strategy offered by Guo Tu, and he must have an interest relationship with the Zhen family shop, because he was worried that his own interests would be damaged.Only then did he advise Yuan Shao that the Zhen family shop should not be moved lightly.After he got the property he wanted in the future, he would definitely advise Yuan Shao to confiscate the Zhen family shop, so that the secret of his secret relationship with the Zhen family consortium could be completely destroyed.This person's methods of acting are quite ruthless, and he is greedy for profit.Do everything you can.Therefore, the subordinates suggested that Zhen's shops in Jizhou should be withdrawn from Jizhou in the near future, and that they should be concealed quickly, otherwise changes will occur later. "

"Oh?" Li Li muttered in astonishment, then raised his eyebrows lightly, and there was a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.After thinking for a while, he nodded to signal Guo Jia to sit down, looked softly at Mrs. Zhen, and said in a harmonious voice, "Madam must have made arrangements for what Feng Xiao said. I don't know how the current situation is?"

Mrs. Zhen enjoyed Li Li's soft eyes very much, she immediately smiled and said softly: "Husband,,, what my husband said is very true."

In a moment of emotion, Zhen Shi blurted out "Husband", and immediately she knew that she had made a slip of the tongue.Because, until today, the four daughters who take her as their mother don't know that she has committed herself to Li Li and has Zhen Yi's consent.However, now that he had leaked his words, Zhen simply stopped covering up and made his words clear. Anyway, papers can't cover fire, and sooner or later he will tell his daughters about this matter.

"Ah! Mother, you,,,,,,," Sure enough, the four daughters Zhen Jiang, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, and Zhen Rong cried out in shock when they heard Zhen's calling Li Li's husband.But Zhen Mi, Zhen's biological daughter, did not show a strange expression, but smiled sweetly. Obviously, she had known about her mother and Li Li for a long time, and she was happy to see it come true.

Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of the four daughters of the Zhen family, Li Li said with a smile, "Don't be surprised, I have already discussed with your grandfather Zhen Yi, the patriarch, and he agreed to marry the Zhen family to me as a concubine, and will Thousands of members of the Zhen family and dead men are used as dowry. Zhen Yan and several other elders of the Zhen family know about this, so you don’t have to worry. After you arrive in Chang’an, everything has settled down. Your mother Zhen’s You will resign as the head of the family, and Zhen Yan will take over the Zhen family. At that time, Zhen's family name will be changed back to Zhang Ai, and the name of Zhen's family belongs to your sisters. From then on, we don't have to stick to the customs, we will talk about things in our own way. As long as you still regard Mrs. Zhen as your mother in your heart, that's enough, don't worry about seniority."

After speaking, Li Li knew that it would take some time for Zhen Jiang and others to adjust their mentality, so he raised his hand to signal Zhen to continue talking about business.

Zhen's pretty face blushed and took a deep breath, forced her mind to calm down, and said slowly: "I have also arranged for the evacuation of the Zhen family's shops in Jizhou before, and took away all the gold and silver belongings in each shop. However, due to the rush of time, all the goods could not be transferred or moved away. Fortunately, Yuan Shao gave me a little time this time. Seven days is enough for my Zhen family shop to change its appearance, or directly transfer it to other merchants in Jizhou or The aristocratic family, presumably it is almost done by now. The shops that have been disposed of are all bearing the name of the Zhen family. As for most of the other shops, there is no need to worry, because those shops are jointly opened by the major families in Jizhou. Just pay the principal and hand over all the stores to them.

However, in this way, my Zhen family's shops in Jizhou will inevitably suffer losses, and my husband will need to compensate for this part of the difference.I don't know how my husband plans to compensate my Zhen family for the loss of this relocation? "

"Hehehe!" Seeing Zhen's half-truth asking for compensation from himself, Li Li laughed in astonishment: "People say that girls are extroverted, and everything will be directed towards their own men. Why is it not working for you! Either way, This time the whole family of the Zhen family moved to Chang'an, and the stores with the Zhen family's business name in Jizhou had to be sold at a low price before they could be sold. It was indeed a big loss. If I didn't make some compensation, the Zhen family members might think that I, Li Li, are insincere and stingy I'm stingy, and I don't want to get rid of anything. In this case, I can clearly tell you these daughters and sons-in-law of the Zhen family today that I will set aside a thousand hectares of land for you to rebuild the Zhen family's mansion in the northern suburbs of Chang'an City. In addition, I can give you more A thousand hectares of land and mountains!

However, you need to pay 6000% of the land use fee, the relocation fee of the people and the land leveling fee of the county government soldiers, about [-] to [-] million yuan! "

"Ah!" After hearing Li Li's final number, everyone in the hall changed their expressions in astonishment, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Seeing the surprised expressions of the crowd with their mouths wide open, Li Li said disapprovingly: "There is no need to make such a fuss! Two thousand hectares of land, you don't need a copper, and they are all given away for free. The amount I said is It's just a bit of work and hard work. Although I have a vast territory in Xiliang, Chang'an City has not been what it used to be in the past two years. Every inch of land is expensive. It is not easy to find such a large and complete piece of land.

Besides, this little bit of hard work is nothing to your Zhen family, it's just a drop in the bucket, so it's nothing!Mrs. Zhen, do you think this is the case? "

Seeing Li Li looking at her with a smile, Zhen's pretty face turned red, and she pursed her red lips in disbelief and squeezed out four words: "Bullshit! Bully!"

"Hahaha!" As soon as Mrs. Zhen's words came out, everyone in the room burst into laughter, especially Li Xuan who laughed the happiest and brightest.

In fact, when Li Xuan heard that the lord Li Li was about to allocate a thousand hectares of land to the Zhen family, his face turned green.Then he heard that the lord had allocated another thousand hectares of mountain land to the Zhen family. At this moment, Li Xuan almost couldn't help getting up and scolding Li Li for being a prodigal. It's too generous. It's spending thousands of dollars without frowning!

However, when Li Li gasped and said that he would pay 6000 to [-] million yuan for the fee, Li Xuan was stunned, his mind went blank, he opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it from ear to ear.

Suddenly, Li Xuan finally came to his senses. His lord hadn't changed at all, at least he hadn't been fascinated by the seductive mistress Zhen, and he was still as "smart" as before. Others called Li Li's shrewdness "" treacherous!"

Chang'an City currently has two places with the largest area and the densest population, one is the western suburb and the other is the southern suburb.And the northern suburb Li Li mentioned is indeed not small, but it is,,, the most desolate, sparsely populated, and it can be regarded as a barren land.However, such a place is not a barren land in Li Li's mouth, but a virgin land to be excavated and developed.

The northern suburb of Chang'an is located between Zuofengling County and Youfufeng County, not far from Beidi County and Bingzhou Shangdang County. Before the unification of Xiliang, it was the frontier of the barbarian invasion of Sanfu in Guanzhong, and there were constant military disasters. , Bandits are rampant.Over time, the northern suburbs became desolate and overgrown with weeds. Not to mention extremely desolate, most of them were mountainous and hilly landforms with many forests.

Chapter 470

Chapter 470

Now the law and order in Xiliang is stable, the population of Chang'an Sanfu is increasing day by day, and the northern suburbs have regained some vitality.

But the area of ​​two thousand hectares of mountainous land is not small, and it is owned by a family for tens of miles. This kind of thing is rare under Li Li's rule.Except for Li Li himself, almost no one owns such a large mountain, even Da Sima Li Jue is no exception.

However, the Zhen family is not one or two households, but a large family with nearly 1000 or 3000 members, plus retinues and maids, the total population is no less than [-], which is equivalent to the population of three or four villages.

Calculated in this way, the Zhen family owns a total of [-] hectares of homesteads and land, mountains and forests. Although the area is still large, it is not too much compared to a prince who frequently eats tens of thousands of households.After all, the Zhen family occupies a vast area, which is shared by thousands of people in their family. If the food town is converted into the actual land area, there are many large noble families that exceed the Zhen family.

What moved Li Xuan the most was Li Li's direct proposal of the fee. The Zhen family had to pay at least 5000 million yuan, which was an extremely huge sum.Moreover, this is the number of "gifts" proposed by Li Li as compensation for the loss of the Zhen family. If it is really sold to the Zhen family, it may be far more than this amount.

"Why don't you talk, did I say something wrong?" Seeing that everyone in the hall opened their mouths slightly and remained silent for a long time, Li Li asked in great surprise.

Zhen Shi kept staring at the expression on Li Li's face, and seeing that he was not joking, but serious, Zhen Shi couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Two thousand hectares of land needs to pay 6000 million yuan. This price is not too high, but it is not low.Because this is only the land fee, the rebuilding of the Zhen family's mansion will be the bulk of the payment, and that will be an even larger sum.What makes Zhen really embarrassed is that the land in the Han states and counties is not worth much.The land outside the city is increasingly unaffordable, and no one even buys it.Now Li Li is bold, and he opened his mouth to claim [-] hectares of land, and it is still in the northern suburbs of Chang'an, not far from the city, and it is a huge and contiguous area.

This makes the Zhen family a little tempted. After all, this is a land that can be owned by the Zhen family for a long time. As long as Li Li is not annexed by other princes, and the descendants of later generations do not inherit Li Li's position, then this land will be fixed by the Zhen family. property.No one can take it back.

While Zhen Shi was thinking secretly, Li Li also had his own thoughts.

Two thousand hectares of land sounds like a lot, but it is actually allocated to more than 1000 members of the Zhen family and [-] servants and maids. Luanshigang.Excluding these uncultivable lands, the average land per person is less than [-] mu.

This is for a common family with a hundred acres of arable land in Xiliang.It's really nothing.Because Xiliang is vast and sparsely populated, there are only 300 to [-] million people in the thousands of miles, and about [-]% of them are not engaged in farming.Therefore, there are not a few people in Xiliang who own a hundred mu of arable land. Generally, a family with a dozen or so members has more than a hundred mu of arable land.

Compared with the two, it is really nothing to allocate two thousand hectares of mountain land to the Zhen family.Even if the Zhen family doesn't pay a penny.Li Li also wanted to settle them down for them. After all, they moved all the way to Xiliang, so they had to be settled properly both emotionally and rationally.In addition, the Zhen family's shops in Jizhou did lose a lot this time.At least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars will be lost, and all of this is caused by Li Li.

It was for this reason that Li Li generously donated land to the Zhen family, and also set up a house in Chang'an City so that they could settle down as soon as possible.And the reason why he has to add a fee is purely due to his character of never losing money.As the overlord of one party, how can he easily give the land under his rule to others?

What's more, after the Zhen family moved into Chang'an, they had to use the county soldiers to help them and move some people away, otherwise there would be such a large piece of land for them.And these are all expenses, the treasury can't pay for them, so the wool is paid for the sheep, and the Zhen family has to pay for the money.In this way, Li Li was right when he said that he gave them so much land as a gift, it was indeed given to them.But it can't be given away completely, and you have to ask for a "little money" that the Zhen family can't give up. If you don't need some money, the Zhen family may still look down on the land in the northern suburbs; if they take their money, they will naturally develop it Take a look at the desolate northern suburbs.

However, taking money from the Zhen family's pocket, other than Li Li, I'm afraid it would be difficult for others to open their mouths, including Li Xuan.

"Okay, I will take this matter on behalf of the Zhen family!" Just as everyone in the room was thinking about it, Mrs. Zhen suddenly agreed.

However, she and Li Lizhen were worthy of being a pair of mandarin ducks, and they panted heavily while talking.After a short pause, Zhen added: "However, Yuan Zhong will write me a certificate later, and also stamp it with your General Li's seal, so that no one will go back on his word in the future!"

"Hahaha!" Li Li laughed appreciatively at Mrs. Zhen, nodded and said, "You are such a shrewd and cautious woman. In the future, you will manage the inner palace for me. I believe I will make a fortune in a short time!"

After laughing, Li Li instructed Li Xuan: "Yuan Zhong, write a certificate in hand later, indicating that the location of the land is the land between Zuo Fengling and You Fufeng County. You don't have to worry about it when measuring, and the scale should be relaxed. , more than three hundred acres is also reasonable."

"Ah!" Li Xuan was surprised, and immediately responded respectfully: "No, this subordinate takes orders!"

"Well. Well, everyone has been on the road for several days, so take a good rest tonight. There is no need to rush on the road tomorrow. We will set off in the afternoon and go straight to Anyi camp through Hanoi County!" Noticing that the night outside the window was getting darker, Li Li couldn't help but No more words, he stood up and waved for everyone to go back to rest.

In the dark night without moon, Xiuwu Inn is quiet and quiet.

until late at night.

Wisps of cold north wind blew over the stone steps of the main house in the east courtyard, stirring the leaves in the courtyard.

A quick and heavy panting and groaning sound drifted out through the cracks in the doors and windows, awakening the nightingales perched on the branches to spread their wings and sing crisply.

"Dum, thump, thump!"

Just as the fierce battle inside the house was in full swing, a graceful figure in thin neon clothes tiptoed up the stone steps in front of the door, making the sand creak under his feet.

At this time, another tall figure quietly appeared behind the big tree not far from the stone steps, staring solemnly at the beautiful woman in neon clothes as she walked to the door step by step, leaning sideways to listen to the forgetful shouts and heavy voices in the room. gasps.There was also the sound of puffing, puffing, sprinting and impacting.

After observing for a while, the tall figure behind the big tree knew who the beauty in neon clothes was listening to at the base of the wall. After confirming that she was not malicious, the figure flickered away and disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared before.

However, if one of Li Li and Huan Fei saw this scene, he would be able to tell at a glance that this tall figure was Li Zhi, the leader of the Golden Guard who had been with Li Li for a long time.

However, the beautiful woman in neon clothes who was eavesdropping on the commotion inside the house did not realize that she was eavesdropping on the entanglement war inside the house from the beginning to the end, and there was someone watching her not far behind.

However, Li Zhi, the commander of the Golden Guards, did not deliberately spy on her undulating graceful curves and looming plump and fair figure, but to confirm her identity and the purpose of this trip.Then quietly disappeared into the courtyard.

"Ah!" There was a high-pitched and long scream from inside the house, causing the beautiful woman in neon clothes who was listening to the wall outside the door to tremble.Suddenly her legs were clamped together, as if she was afraid that something would fall.
