Chapter 71

"Yes, I've met the master of Xuan!"

Finally, song Geng Niu led his family and bowed to them in cold sweat. Compared with the master and young master of Lei Ren, the master of Xuan was obviously much better. Ling Jingxuan nodded his head symbolically and threw Yan Shengrui a smile. He said to Liu Bao, "let's have a look at the carriage and the cow."

Most of the delay has passed. Is Jing Peng coming back soon? I don't know what the amount of land is like? Ah, brother Ling, this way, please. "

Liu Bao, who is obviously not in a state, makes a gesture of invitation in a trance. If he looks at Yan Shengrui, he looks at Yan Shengrui. At first, after he says that, he thinks he is at most a friend or brother of Ling Jingxuan. After listening to Ling Jingxuan saying that he is just a peasant, he also takes him as a peasant?? Where has the farmer whole body murderous, domineering side leakage? Intuition told him that his identity was not simple.

With this in mind, Liu baouo is even more determined to make friends with Ling Jingxuan. He is a farmer who has excellent medical skills and is completely different from a farmer. He is a man who is domineering and tough. He seems to be ordinary but absolutely impossible. On the surface, they have different personalities. In fact, they are the same kind of people, integrating ordinary and extraordinary two contradictory bodies People.

"Brother Ling, what do you think of this horse? This is the offspring of the famous sweat blood horse of the western country and the excellent horses of Qing Dynasty in China. You can see how rich and neat the rump and buttocks are, the whole body is beautiful and the muscles are tight. It can not only travel thousands of miles every day, but also travel fast with heavy load

He took them directly to the tallest and most beautiful black horse in the stable. Liu Bao said enthusiastically and without losing the merchant's true colors. Ling Jingxuan's eyes lit up and stroked back and forth to check the state of the black horse. He was tall and strong, with a line of buttocks and waist, and strong limbs. Most importantly, he had a mild temper. It was suitable for a carriage.

"What do you think?" In terms of Ma, who can speak more than Yan Shengrui? Although he lost his memory, Ling Jingxuan or subconsciously turned to ask his opinion.

"Well, yes, if it's used in the army, it's too tame and not very suitable, but we bought it for children. It's just right."

Yan Shengrui also circled around the black horse and nodded his head to give approval. His words were completely reflexive and blurted out. He didn't realize that the army was so natural in his mouth, as if it were part of his life. Therefore, Ling Jingxuan's eyes flashed and sighed deeply in his heart. It seemed that his guess was right, and he was willing to It must be prince Sheng today. If he can, he really doesn't want to get involved with the royal family, but it seems impossible now.

"What do you think?" Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Yan Shengrui walked over and ignored the presence of many outsiders. His right hand touched his face, and his eyes and face were full of concern.

"No, I suddenly thought of something."

After returning to God, Ling Jingxuan opened his hand and turned to Liu Bao to ask, "how can I sell this horse?"

"I bought 20 Liang and sold it to you for 20 Liang. I'll take it for you. In addition, the carriage has to be calculated separately. It depends on what specifications you need. I have ordinary wooden carriage, box car and luxury carriage with cushioned mattress. The plank car is 20 Liang silver, the box car is 50 Liang, and the luxury car is 10 Liang. If you decide, I will send someone immediately It's for you. "

Since he has decided to make friends with him, Liu Bao Bao can't shout any more false price with him. All he gives is the real price of breaking even.

"Just the limousine." Ling Jingxuan chose the best one without thinking about it. The price is not a problem. What he wants is comfort. In the future, children will ride it back and forth between the town and the village every day. How can it be uncomfortable? For his little buns, it's worth spending as much as possible.

Seeing this, Liu Bao raised his hand and called for a clerk. After he took the black horse out of the stable, he took them to the cowshed next to him. There were only a large black-and-white cow tied in the corner. It seems that it is still a cow that has just given birth to a baby.

"To tell you the truth, brother Ling, I have only one cow, and I don't have any more. If you want it, you can sell it to you for eight Liang silver.

Cattle were very valuable in the Qing Dynasty, especially for farming cattle. The court even issued laws to protect them. Ordinary people had to behead their heads if they slaughtered for no reason. Unless the cattle were old or sick and were dying, they would not be held responsible until they got official official documents from the government. Of course, these laws were aimed at ordinary people. No matter what dynasty or generation, any law was against the royal family As an old saying goes, princes break the law and the common people commit the same crime. But in history, how many princes were beheaded because they touched the law? "Brother Zhao, please."

Although he had no choice, Ling Jingxuan was not careless. If he bought a sick cow back, it would be bad for the whole family to get sick.

Zhao Dalong, as always, was silent. He went to check the condition of the cow and nodded to Ling Jingxuan: "very good."

"Well, that's it, Liu Bao. If there are any good cows in the future, please go to Xinyuan restaurant to find shopkeeper Zhang and tell him that Ling Jingxuan ordered it. Please help him to take a message. I'll take it as well."There are five more people in the family. I'm afraid the milk from a cow is not enough. Now that song Geng Niu has sold himself to him, he will not treat them unfairly. At least, he wants to make them well. Moreover, he is thinking of giving Zhao Hanfu a head, which is thanks to their help before and after.

"No problem, Ling!"

Liu Bao made a gesture of invitation. When they came to the shop outside again, Ling Jingpeng, who took people back to measure the land, also came back.

"Elder brother, according to your order, it extends to Yuehua Valley in the East and the foot of Xiaogong mountain in the West. In front of it, it is about 100 meters away from elder brother Zhao's house. The whole land boundary has been bought, which is 230 mu in total."

Attached to him, Ling Jingpeng whispered that the number was far more than they expected. Ling Jingxuan could not help but pick up his eyebrows. He thought that the maximum area was about 100 mu. Unexpectedly, it was more than doubled. However, it was also a good thing that the East could extend to Yuehua ditch. Later, he dug a fish pond, which could lead water from Yuehua ditch, and there was one at the foot of Xiaogong mountain in the West In addition, the west side of the stream is relatively low, so it will be convenient to release water and catch fish in the future. The most important thing is that the stream is also connected with the semi salt land, so there is no need to worry about irrigation in the future. If the area is more than 200 mu, it will be more convenient, isn't it?

"Brother Ling, the homestead is 230 mu. If you want to do the official lease, you will get one or two half silver and one mu. Do you think so?"

At the same time, Liu Bao on the other side also listened to the report of the clerk. The homestead is cheap. The official lease is only one, two and a half acres. The ordinary dry land costs five Liang silver a mu. The slightly better sandy slope land is 78 Liang. The best farmland is at least 10 Liang, which is not necessarily available. There are not so many land waiting to be bought in Datong town.

"Yes, it's one or two and a half. You can see how much the total is."

Ling Jingxuan also did not hesitate, nodded and agreed. Liu Bao asked people to take pen, ink, paper, inkstone and abacus. After a crackling knock, he said, "brother Ling, the carriage is thirty Liang silver, eight Liang cows, thirty Liang people. The land of 230 Mu is 345 taels, which is 413 taels in total. Let's make a whole number of 411 taels Do you think that's right? "

"Well, no problem. This is a five hundred taels of silver, which will be verified by Liu Bao."

With that, Ling Jingxuan took out the silver ticket and handed it to him. Because there were so many things to buy today, he took 1500 taels with him, but he was afraid that it would not be enough. At that time, the small bun almost did not stare two blood holes in his body. It is estimated that he would never take out the remaining one thousand taels of silver.

"Brother Ling, wait a moment."

After taking the silver note, Liu baouo got up and went to the counter. Ling Jingxuan was smiling and waiting calmly. What he didn't know was that, except Yan Shengrui, all the people standing behind him were stupid. He spent more than 400 Liang without blinking an eye. They couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"I'm sorry to wait for a long time. Here's the ninety Liang silver I've given you, as well as their sales contract and the contract between you and me to buy livestock land. Brother Ling, have a look. If it's OK, please sign below and press your fingerprints."

After a while, Liu baouo came back with a stack of contracts, followed the man behind him and put nine Liang silver spindles on the table. Ling Jingxuan took over the contract and carefully looked at it. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he put away the contract and took out a charcoal stick wrapped in soft bamboo skin. This is his own charcoal pen, although it can't match the modern ball pen Bi, at least be able to start, brush he really can't control.

With a quick signature and a fingerprint, even if their contract is completed, Liu Baobao confirmed it and said, "in three days' time, I will send the title deed to your house in person. Brother Ling, if you have any instructions in the future, please say it, and I will do my best."

A businessman is a businessman. At the end of the day, he did not forget to flatter him. Ling Jingxuan said with a smile: "that will trouble Liu Bao. By the way, if I want to hire a large number of people to open up wasteland, can you also undertake it here?"

"Of course, no matter how many people you want, just tell me the number, and I promise to send it to you the next day. But brother Ling, it's different from buying people. The wages must be paid daily because it's a busy farming season. The average strong laborer is 30 Wen a day, regardless of food. If the farmers are idle, the price is relatively lower."

For fear that he doesn't know, Liu Baotou said in a rush that he thought he was going to hire someone to reclaim the land he had just bought over 200 mu.

"Ha ha Then I would like to ask Liu Bao Bao to help me hire 30 people to Lingjia village tomorrow, and let them all take hoes. This ten Liang silver will be regarded as a deposit. "

He took out a ingot of silver and threw it to him. Ling Jingxuan said as he walked, since the land had been bought, it was time to start work.

"Thirty? Is it too much? "

Liu baouo is really kind this time. He only has more than 200 mu of land. Thirty strong laborers can finish it in one day without having to use it. What's left is wasted?

"It's easy to do business with too many people. Just find it for me."

Looking a Lin, Ling Jingxuan is obviously not willing to say more. Liu Baotou is also a human spirit. He hastens to say: "Cheng, before tomorrow, they will arrive."

Out of the door, their newly bought carriage has stopped at the side of the road, and the cows have also been pulled out. Song Geng Niu quickly climbed onto the carriage and took over the whip from the assistant's hand. It seems that he is ready to drive for them. Ling Jingxuan nodded with satisfaction and turned to Zhao Hanfu and said, "brother Zhao, brother Han, I'm going to buy some daily necessities with Shengrui Jingpeng. May I trouble you Will you help me get the cows back with the four of them? ""No, no problem."

As early as he saw his extravagant spending money, Zhao Hanfu was silly. Until then, he was still in a fog. For them, more than 400 Liang silver was a sky high price, enough for them to eat for a lifetime.
