Chapter 198 Haha, the chance to pick up a bargain is here

"Dad, Mom, the mistake has been made. We must not hesitate."

"We've got thousands of acres of fertile land, shops, farms, and even this mansion. Sell them all."

"With these assets at our disposal, we can still live a carefree life."

Zhou Zexuan's emotions gradually got out of control because of fear.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou looked at their son with a terrified face, glanced at each other quietly, and did not dare to blame Zhou Zexuan anymore.

"Xuan'er, you are right."

"When the sun comes up, we'll spread the word and sell our houses and land..."

"Let's go to Ningzhou. Ningzhou is rich. We can go there to hide our identities and start anew."

When Jiang Ruo on the roof heard about thousands of acres of fertile land, a light flashed in his eyes.

Haha, here comes the chance to pick up a bargain.

All the fertile land and shops were bought.

Forget about this mansion, it’s unlucky!

She tugged at Xiao Chengjin's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Let's go back!"

Xiao Chengjin saw through Jiang Ruo's little thoughts and couldn't help but smile.

Ruo Ruo's original dream was to own a mountain of gold and silver, a thousand acres of fertile land, and a handsome man by her side...

Now, all of it has been achieved.

Xiao Chengjin automatically ignored the matter of the eight handsome men.

The two men jumped down from the roof and quietly left the Zhou Mansion.

On the street.

"Haha, wait until I spend a fortune to buy those thousand acres of fertile land, and I will definitely help the people of Jizhou become rich."

"Strive to turn Jizhou into a prosperous place."

After Jiang Ruo finished speaking, he thought happily: With these fertile fields, his dream of owning a thousand acres of fertile fields has finally come true.

As soon as next spring comes, I will plant all kinds of crops, fruits, vegetables, etc. that do not exist in this world.

When the time comes, we can plant and eat openly...

Xiao Chengjin noticed Jiang Ruo's good mood and said flatteringly, "Ruo Ruo, congratulations on becoming the richest man in Jizhou, no, the richest man in Dayan Dynasty."

Jiang Ruo stopped when he heard that.

She slowly approached Xiao Chengjin and pinched his chin, "You're quite good at coaxing people!"

"Yes, Ruoruo taught well." Xiao Chengjin retorted in a low voice with red ears.

Jiang Ruo's smile deepened, and she lowered her voice and teased, "So sweet, come, let me taste what it tastes like..."

"It tastes like honey." Xiao Chengjin said quickly, then lowered his head and covered the red lips in front of him.

A quarter of an hour later.

Xiao Chengjin picked up Jiang Ruo in his arms and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go back."

Jiang Ruo's face turned slightly red and she secretly glanced at Xiao Chengjin.

Pure, sexy and seductive...

I don’t know what this bastard is afraid of?

The sky was getting light.

The Zhou family moved to the city, and the news of selling their house and land spread throughout the town.

Mr. Zhou threatened that he must pay the full amount in one go to buy a thousand acres of fertile land.

The people were talking about this.

"The Zhou family is considered to be prosperous."

"That's not true. He married the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. His promotion and wealth are coming soon."

"Then they wouldn't have to sell their houses and land!"

"What do you know? He doesn't plan to come back."

"That's right, the capital is so prosperous, why would you return to this poor and remote place?"

.......

The common people secretly thought: Only a wealthy family could buy these thousand acres of fertile land at one time.

Although ordinary people like them can't afford it, it's still fun to watch the fun.

Zhou Mansion.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou looked at the thirty or so servants in the yard and said with tears in their eyes, "You have followed me for so long, I can't bear to part with you!"

Servants: “…”

What's going on so early in the morning?

Could it be that "Zhou Pa Pi" really wants to sell his land and house...

Under everyone's puzzled gazes, Mr. Zhou said slowly, "Last night, my daughter-in-law suddenly missed her mother in the capital and insisted on going back. We couldn't stop her, so we had to let them go ahead."

"So, this time we are moving our whole family to Beijing."

He took the indentures handed to him by Old Lady Zhou and said, "This is your indenture, take it away!"

Servants: “…”

Take it or not.

What is going on?

Doesn’t this sound like Zhou Pa Pi’s style?

Seeing that they did not move, Mr. Zhou handed the indenture contract to a literate young man.

"Sir, this..." The young man looked at the pile of indentures in front of him, wanting to take one but not daring to.

If they get it and tear it up, they will be free.

But, could there be some fraud involved?

Mr. Zhou frowned slightly as he looked at the young man's suspicious expression.

This means you don’t believe him!

He glanced at the slaves' eager eyes and tore up the indenture in his hand.

The servants had not expected that Mr. Zhou would do this, and they all knelt down with tears in their eyes to thank him.

They are about to move to Beijing to become a wealthy family, and these country bumpkins cannot be taken with them.

"The servants thank you, Master, and the old lady."

"Alright, we are master and servant after all."

"You all go back and pack up and go home!" After Mr. Zhou said this, he looked at them with contempt, turned around and left with Old Madam Zhou.

Mr. Zhou cursed in his heart: A bunch of bastards.

If the Zhou family hadn't gotten into trouble, such a good thing would have happened to you.

All the slaves were children from poor families, and they seemed a little uncomfortable with leaving so suddenly.

After dismissing the slaves, Zhou Yuanwai came to the room in a daze and took out the land deeds and house deeds from a wooden box...

Although these can be exchanged for hard cash, I still can't bear to part with them.

After years of painstaking efforts, one wrong move can lead to a complete loss!

Jiangji Grain Shop.

After Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin finished their breakfast, they walked towards Zhou Mansion hand in hand.

"With the current drought, if anyone wants to buy good farmland, they will definitely bargain down the price."

"When the time comes, we'll just add a little to his price and try to get the thousand acres of fertile land at the lowest price."

"Hehe, spend the lowest price to buy the best farmland." Jiang Ruo said, and couldn't help laughing a few times.

Looking at the people gathered in front of Zhou's mansion, Jiang Ruo pulled Xiao Chengjin and ran away.

“The auction has already started.”

Several wealthy families in the town hurried to the Zhou Mansion the moment they learned that the Zhou Mansion was selling houses and land.

In front of Zhou Mansion.

Mr. Zhou sat at a table and chatted with several wealthy people.

A middle-aged man said with a big smile on his face, "Mr. Zhou, your whole family has moved to Beijing, so you should give us a discount on the thousand acres of fertile land!"

"You tell me the lowest price, and I'll buy them all according to your requirements."

Mr. Zhou took a sip of tea and said, "Brother Zheng, you know that the land in Jizhou is barren. This one mu of good farmland is priced at ten taels of silver."

"For the sake of our friendship, I will sell you one acre of good farmland and nine and a half ounces of silver."

Mr. Zhou had a smile on his face, but cursed in his heart: Don’t think I don’t know, you are trying to “take advantage of the fire”.

No way.

The middle-aged man became unhappy when he heard this.

You also know that the land is barren, but who knows if there is anything fishy about your fertile land.

"Brother Zhou, since you're going to the capital to be an official, please lower the price a little."

Mr. Zhou thought that he could finish the matter as soon as possible and leave Jizhou as soon as possible.

"Brother Zheng, how about this? You make an offer and I'll see if it's suitable."

When the middle-aged man heard this, a calculation flashed in his eyes.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "There is a drought in Jizhou now. Even if we buy the land, we can't plant it."

"Also, we don't know if this drought will last one, three, or five years..."

After listening to this, several middle-aged men present suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense.

Yes, if the drought continues for three to five years, all these fertile fields will become wasteland...

Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin stood aside, listening with great interest.

Haha, what the old fox said makes a lot of sense.

You bargained hard.

We are waiting to find a bargain.
