Tang's dining table

Chief Liu didn't find it strange at all about Cui Mian's rude reaction.

This kind of people usually sell by force, buy by force, and plunder a lot of times, so they think that they can really do whatever they want.

This is Chang'an, at the feet of the Emperor. Everything must follow a rule, and the county magistrate is the one who abides by the rule the most.

This is not the territory of your Boling Cui family, nor is it the territory of your Qinghe Cui family. When you get here, you can still survive by following the rules. If you don't follow the rules, the county magistrate will have ten thousand ways to ruin your reputation.

The No. 2 courtyard on Zhuque Street closest to the imperial city was the one the county asked for at 100,000 yuan. Chief Secretary Liu thought it was very suitable, even lower.

Courtyard No. 1 is where the old gods live, and it is the courtyard with the best feng shui. This has already made it difficult for ghosts and gods to enter the nearby land, not to mention that behind the No. 2 courtyard is the back house of Prince Ji's Mansion.

Courtyards No. 1 to No. 10 are all large houses with three entrances. The neighbors on the left are either the Duke's Mansion or the Marquis Mansion. Those with official positions lower than the fourth rank are not even qualified to live there.

Not to mention that when this place was planned, the layout of the houses was completely different from all the houses in the Tang Dynasty. Not only was the outside renovated into a long garden, but even more than a dozen flower bears were moved here, waiting for the construction of these houses. After finishing, there will be many long-tailed golden pheasants that have been raised skillfully on the ancient trees brought back from the Qinling Mountains.

As for the water drawn from the palace city, it will flow down in the form of small rivers along both sides of Zhuque Street, and finally merge into the moat. This is called Zhanlongqi.

The real sand table model has been built by the joiners of Jinchangfang. Although the pavilions and pavilions inside can still be seen as the Tang Dynasty style, there are some shadows in it. As for the pomp inside the house, it has long been Big changes have taken place, the most important of which is the abandonment of the four-beam and eight-column structure, which makes the house look very refreshing.

Although the county official said that when the earth dragon comes over, a house with four beams and eight pillars will be more durable than the one-brick-to-top house they are implementing now, but Mr. Liu still thinks the new house looks good, at least, it doesn't need to be used when getting up at night. Hitting a wall.

In order to make up for the shortcomings, iron mesh was built into the walls of the houses on both sides of Jinchangfang at a large cost.

Can wood be better than iron?

Chief Liu still thought that the county magistrate was overly worried.

However, thinking that the newly built house of the county elder's family would still use more wood, Master Liu decided that it would be better to follow the county elder's footsteps.

They didn't show Cui Mian the complete sand table because they were afraid that the dandy would hand over the money at once, which would make it inconvenient for him to manipulate it later.

Although many of the princes in the world have been killed and disabled by the queen in recent years, there are still many who want to go to Beijing and live under the emperor's feet. After they join the game, there is plenty of room for the increase in the rent of 100,000 yuan.

The princes had better spend all their money on houses in Chang'an, so as not to have too much money and have random thoughts.

When leaving the Yuquan Pavilion, Mr. Liu raised his hand and touched the chin of a beautiful maid, then rubbed his fingers, smelled the fragrance of the powder on his fingertips, laughed three times and left.

Arriving at Zhuque Street, which was still a large construction site, Chief Liu coughed lightly, straightened his back, and automatically changed his persona from a scholar to the third-in-command position in Wannian County.

He stopped pacing, his walking speed more than doubled, he held the folding fan in his hand and no longer unfolded it, and became a fast-moving official.

Courtyard No. 1 is already halfway up, and there is a big gap left in the middle of the green bricks. The craftsmen lowered the iron mesh into it, and then filled it with mortar mixed with glutinous rice slurry, slaked lime, and limestone powder...

Someone secretly drank the glutinous rice milk. Manager Liu frowned when he saw it. After calling the foreman over and scolding him, he picked up a shovel and poured two shovels of sand into the cooked glutinous rice milk.

They are all killing their talents and drinking up all the glutinous rice milk. Will this wall still be strong?

Where old gods live, they don’t dare to cut corners.

After inspecting the construction site, Mr. Liu was already covered in dust. However, at this moment, a luxurious four-wheeled carriage stopped beside him. He took a look at the rotating plate under the carriage. I knew that this carriage came from Jinchangfang Carriage Shop and had a special shock absorbing device. It couldn't get off without a thousand strings.

A kind-faced old man opened the car window and looked at Mr. Liu and said, "Can we get in the car and talk?"

Master Liu cupped his hands and said, "I'm covered in dust, so I don't dare to disturb you."

The old man laughed and said: "The dust on the officials' bodies is a rare good thing. It is just a good thing to leave for the children and grandchildren to clean up."

Master Liu once again clasped his fists and saluted: "Fanyang Lu's family is of noble family, Liu is just a small official, and he dare not ride with Mr. Lu."

The old man in the car smiled and said: "Fanyang is just a small place. Since His Majesty's decree prohibiting intermarriage with the rich, the Lu family has become a barren mountain barbarian. This time I came to Beijing just to find a place for my descendants." Let's see if the descendants of the Lu family can make a difference in Chang'an.

Since Mr. Liu is deeply trusted by Mr. Yun County, and I want to ask for help from Mr. Liu, why should Mr. Liu refuse people thousands of miles away like this? "

Master Liu smiled and said: "Mr. Lu has given me a gift to Mr. Liu. As long as the place Mr. Lu is interested in is not on either side of Zhuque Street, Mr. Liu will naturally satisfy Mr. Lu's needs."

The old man smiled and said, "Why can't Mr. Lu get the mansions on both sides of Zhuque Street?"

Master Liu smiled and said, "It's because prices are so high."

The old man smiled and said: "It is said that rice in Chang'an is expensive and it is not easy to live in. Although the Lu family is shallow, they still have enough money and food to buy some family property."

Chief Liu smiled bitterly and said, "Gong Lu is a very old man, so why don't you discuss this matter with my county magistrate?"

The old man said: "Marquis Yun has a cold and aloof nature, and is not a person who can be accommodating. I heard that Master Liu is open-minded in dealing with things, so naturally the way to go is to discuss it with Master Liu first."

Master Liu thought for a moment and saluted the old man and said, "If Mr. Lu doesn't mind the dust at the construction site, I would really like to inspect the construction site with Mr. Lu, and we can talk about other things."

I thought that after saying these words, Lu Ting, the head of the northern branch of the Lu family in the car, would flatly refuse. Unexpectedly, the head of the family, who was used to being an emperor's teacher, actually followed the good advice and even got off the carriage, still with the help of the boy. After tucking the hem of his robe into his belt, he would follow Mr. Liu into the construction site to inspect.

This puts Mr. Liu in a bit of a dilemma, because although this Lu family is noble, it is indeed a pauper family. It would be difficult for them to come up with more than 100,000 yuan of silver.

After all, what the county magistrate wants is real money, and what he wants is for the big families to keep their money in the house, so that their capital for evil deeds can be removed at once, not for any reputation.

In desperation, Master Liu had no choice but to take Lu Ting to inspect the construction site again and explain the county magistrate's plans for the renovation of Zhuque Street in detail.

Chief Liu made it clear, and Lu Ting listened carefully. After they came out of the construction site in disgrace, Lu Ting said to Chief Liu: "The chief has never said what he said, which means that the house here is being sold by the chief. If you don’t have the power, why don’t you tell me, let’s see how expensive the price of rice in Chang’an is.”

Although Master Liu knew that he was being polite and didn't think much of him as a junior official, he still felt that it was very honorable.

After being embarrassed for a long time, he raised his hands to Lu Ting and said: "Courtyard No. 1 is Sun Shenxian's residence, and courtyards No. 2 to 6 will be auctioned on the Liushui sign in Qujiangli.

If Mr. Lu is interested in buying property, I think Courtyard No. 7 is very suitable for Mr. Lu. "

Lu Ting said with a smile: "Although it's a bit ugly for me to discuss money and food matters with others, I still ask Master Liu to come up with a price."

Chief Liu hesitated for a long time before he said with difficulty: "The county has an order, and the price of Courtyard No. 7 is 100,000 yuan, no two prices."

Even Lu Ting was someone who had seen strong winds and waves. He couldn't help but take a breath after hearing the price offered by Master Liu.

"really?"

"really!"

"Are there so many wealthy people in the world?"

Master Liu patted a new wall and sighed: "Just like this, the county magistrate does not allow officials and families below the fifth rank, wealthy merchants, wealthy households, and Hu merchants to participate in the "Clan Chronicle".

If this opening is opened, there are only two hundred houses on both sides of Zhuque Street, and they may be sold out in an instant. "

Lu Ting looked at the busy construction site and sighed: "It seems that I have lived in a remote place like Fan Yang for a long time and no longer know about the changes in the world.

Mr. Lu was embarrassed and asked me to go back and think about it carefully. "

Master Liu sent Lu Ting off to the car with a smile, and was not in a hurry to sell the houses in his hands.

After Lu Ting boarded the car, the boy who helped Lu Ting walk around immediately said: "You bastard, you are not a son of man."

Lu Ting looked at the boy and said, "Your name is Zhao Lin. It seems that you will need your neighbors to take care of you in the future."

Lu Zhaolin said angrily: "My grandson doesn't need anyone to take care of him."

Lu Ting opened the curtains, looked at the construction site that was still in full swing, and sighed: "The Lu family is already poor. If we can't spend all the money this time, we will become even poorer in the future."

"But, he offered Cui Mian 100,000 guan for the better No. 2 yard, and now he still offers 100,000 guan for the No. 7 yard. It's really too deceiving." Lu Zhaolin's little face turned red.

Lu Ting looked at the construction site outside and sighed: "According to the "Clan Chronicle", the Cui family is only a third-class family, and the Lu family is only a second-class family. If we still have trouble with the emperor, the thousand-year-old Chinese family may be lost to everyone. .

If my prediction is correct, if Cui Mian wants to buy the house here again, I am afraid it will no longer be as simple as 100,000 yuan. "

Lu Zhaolin said in confusion: "Why do we have to buy a house? Can't we buy land? Can't we do business?"

Lu Ting sighed and said: "When Li Yifu went to Zhuo County, he was already dissatisfied with the large amount of land owned by the Lu family. If we continue to acquire land and recruit tenants, we may be worried about military disasters. As for doing business, the situation is too small for us. The Lu family cannot be fed.

This time there are five surnames and seven families, so let’s not talk about it... In short, the money in hand must be spent as soon as possible..."

After Chief Secretary Liu returned to the county government office, while he was covered in dust, he went to the county magistrate's office to have an interview.

Yun Chu looked up at the dusty Master Liu and said with a smile, "It's hard work, Master."

Master Liu smiled and said: "I reported to the county magistrate that Mr. Cui is too expensive, and Mr. Lu has chosen Courtyard No. 7."

Yun Chu nodded and said: "Very good, it seems that Mr. Lu already knew that the money disaster was coming, and wanted to get rid of all the copper coins in his hands before the money disaster came. How can there be such a good thing in this world.

You continue to drag them, but you must also stabilize them. We must wait until we turn all the money in the hands of the people into houses before we take action.

At that time, the people will have no money in their hands, but they will have the ability to make a living, and the officials will have materials in their hands, so they can start bartering again and exchange things for labor.

I want to see how much money they have to spend on Chang'an City.

I have already built such a large copper smelting plant. All the copper coins received this time will be thrown into the furnace for me..."

See you tomorrow. I have been writing a paper these past few days and I don’t have the energy to update it. The paper is over and I have to restart.
