Chapter 848: break into the interior
Chapter 848 Breaking into the interior
"Not bad, at least this amount."
Chu Nanzhi looked at Sun Li with a sluggish face, and sneered unhurriedly: "Could it be that the young master doesn't have so much land in his hands? I have heard shopkeeper Sun say that the land in Dangyang County is as much as he wants." How much can you give?"
"Joke."
Sun Li also pretended to be relaxed and replied: "Who is the young master? My uncle certainly didn't deceive the shopkeeper Mu, not to mention the fields in Dangyang County, even the field shopkeepers in the whole Tanzhou have as many fields as possible." .”
"Okay, I can trust the young master's behavior."
Chu Nanzhi graciously asked Ma Laifu to take the one hundred thousand taels of silver notes she had brought, and handed them over to the two uncles and nephews: "The one hundred thousand taels is the deposit, and I will pay the rest of the money when I see the land deed after the Lantern Festival."
"No hurry, no hurry."
Although Sun Li was happy to have solved the urgent need, he didn't dare to make a decision as soon as the land he sold doubled. He smiled and looked at the stunned Sun Huai, and pretended to say: "Uncle these days, arrange people to lead wooden The big treasurer has gone to various manors to inspect the fields, so as not to feel that the young master has deceived you, since business is all about sincerity."
After saying that, he reluctantly pushed a box full of bank notes back to Chu Nanzhi, stood up and said goodbye: "I will go back home to discuss with my father and aunt, and I will give the treasurer Mu Da a satisfactory explanation."
Afraid that other honorable families would steal the credit, he hurriedly added: "I will take over this business. On the day of the Lantern Festival, there will be a lot of four thousand acres of land, and all the land deeds will go to the big shopkeeper. Please prepare the money, big shopkeeper."
"Okay, I will wait for the good news at the inn."
Chu Nanzhi replied calmly.
Watching Sun Li leave in a hurry, and looking at Sun Huai who still hadn't recovered, Chu Nanzhi deliberately questioned and asked, "Shopkeeper Sun, is your nephew really reliable? You also know that you are waiting to do this with your younger brother right now." There are not a few merchants for this transaction, since I have taken a fancy to this transaction, I must take it."
"Treasurer Mu, put your heart in your stomach. My nephew has always kept his word and will never break his promise."
Sun Huai was also afraid of ruining the deal, so he quickly confided in his heart: "Just outside the county, fifty miles to the south, there are tens of thousands of acres of fertile land there, all of which are private properties given to my young lady by the governor. Tomorrow, I will bring the big treasurer Go and check the nearby Zhuangzi."
Having said this, Chu Nanzhi finally felt relieved, so he just had a reason to go to various places to inquire about information.
Send Sun Huai off, Chu Nanzhi collected the banknote and went back to the elegant room on the second floor, Ma Laifu and Sang Qi were both worried about her behavior today.
"Today is the ninth day of the ninth day, and there are only a few days left before the Lantern Festival. If Sun Li really gets the deed for 400,000 mu of land, where will Sister Zhi go to raise two million taels of silver?"
Ma Laifu's thick eyebrows trembled slightly, anxiously.
Sang Qi ran out mysteriously at this time, and came back after a while, carrying a **** box to Chu Nanzhi, and said with a smile:
"When my uncle and I entered the country, my uncle was worried that the peace talks would be hindered, so he prepared 1.5 million taels of silver, which was originally intended to be used in Jingling City to manage officials of various ministries, and was paid when exchanging silver notes in Mengzhou. After paying some custody fees, the rest should be able to solve the urgent needs of the master."
Looking at the shocked Chu Nanzhi, Sang Qi smiled embarrassingly: "The book was also given to my uncle by the king of Beibin before. I know the master is a man of his word. I have persuaded my uncle before that this is unnecessary, but I have no choice." Unable to stand up to Uncle and Tan Xinxie, I had no choice but to take over the banknotes."
"King Huyan is indeed supercilious."
Chu Nanzhi saw the embarrassment on her face.
She can still talk to herself about this kind of thing, which shows that this girl doesn't treat herself as an outsider.
The peace talks between the two countries are not a trivial matter, not to mention that he also hopes that the two countries will form an alliance. It is reasonable for King Huyan to worry that the peace talks will be blocked and want to spend some money on officials so that they can say something good during the peace talks.
"I'm not polite."
Chu Nanzhi gladly took the cowhide box in her hand, and replied calmly: "Don't worry, I will definitely hand it back to you after the matter is over."
"Master, why should he say such outrageous words? The money was originally obtained from King Beibin by relying on the master's intelligence."
After saying that, Sang Qi still said uneasy: "I'm just worried that the one million and five million taels is just a drop in the bucket. The master wants to use the land sale to leverage the entire Qinghe nobles to find out the hidden fields. I'm afraid I will give another ten Double is not enough."
"Let's take one step at a time."
Chu Nanzhi said with a smile: "We don't need to buy all the hidden fields of noble families right now, but need an opportunity to inquire about information. This money is enough."
Ma Laifu and Sang Qi understood her intention after hearing this.
If you want to break this deadlock of no-hole entry, you can only usher in a turning point if you first break into the enemy's interior.
In the prefect's mansion, Sun You was calculating the silver taels needed to stabilize the victims in the study, when he saw his son Sun Li walking in in a hurry.
"Is everything done?"
Seeing his happy face, Sun You raised his head and asked coldly.
"I don't know how to explain this to my father."
Sun Li took a deep breath: "At first I thought that the shopkeeper Mu Da would be a charlatan, but he not only paid 100,000 taels of silver to make the deal, but also asked for 400,000 mu of fertile land in one go. This is not a small amount."
"400,000 mu?"
Sun You was also stunned, and after a long time, he slowly said: "If you say that the Zhao family in Pingning Prefecture does have such strength, since he opened his mouth, we can't tell people to laugh."
Thinking for a while, he said: "Your aunt ordered us to prepare four million taels, but the group of people at the moment are restless, so we can't alarm your aunt because of this matter, lest the governor will get angry again when he finds out."
"In this case, I have a way."
Sun Li smiled sadly and said: "Father, I see that the Mu family caravan is really rich and powerful, maybe they have millions of taels of silver in their hands right now, let's just keep going and let people rob and kill them This caravan is then planted to the bandits to rob money, so that they can get the money and clear the suspicion to solve the urgent need, it is simply killing two birds with one stone."
"Nonsense."
Sun You suddenly flew into a rage: "You don't think you have caused enough trouble for labor and management, right now, the queen is in Mengzhou, and General Rong Heng is investigating the causes of Lu Huan and Xia Yuan's deaths thoroughly. The evil things you did before are over. Let the labor and management hurt their gods, and they still want to cause trouble for me, now you just give me some peace."
After a pause, he looked earnestly at Sun Li, who was full of depression, and sighed deeply: "At this juncture, it is the most important thing not to cause trouble. Since that shopkeeper Mu Da dared to speak, you will send Junxi Six The 200,000 mu of fertile land in the county was assigned to him, but you have to leave this matter to the sixth child of the Mu family. Neither you nor your uncle can interfere with the affairs of the county. Whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on his own destiny. "
"Mu Lao Liu?"
When Sun Li heard this, a sly smile appeared on his face: "Okay, my son will go and explain."
