Chapter 159 - Contractor Jiao Si

Jiao Si'er was dragged out by the bald guards. When a red brazier appeared in the leeward hut, Jiao Si Shu scrambled over and almost hugged the brazier.

"Aiyo, isn't this Jiao Si Shu? Look, look, look. It's already pitiful to this extent. What kind of trouble is this! " Hearing the familiar voice, Jiao Si looked up and Xiao Letian's face appeared from the shadows.

"Master!" My Lord Xiao, I know that I was wrong, I will change anything, and from now on, you have to set a rule for me. If my Jiao Si'er defies it in the slightest, I will be struck by lightning! "

This kind of dog slave had sharp eyes, he definitely wouldn't let things get out of hand. He finally understood that Xiao Letian was a typical donkey, so he couldn't play with hard stuff, and had to stroke it along with his fur.

"Tsk tsk …" Why did the famed Jiao Si Shu s in Beijing freeze to such a degree today? "Someone come, take a look at the Jiao Si Shu. Bring a cup of hot tea, I want to chat with Master Four …"

At this time, Jiao Si's internal organs were about to turn into ice. He held a big bowl of hot tea and gulped it down. Only after a long time did he manage to catch his breath.

Xiao Letian squinted at Jiao Si, he had been thinking about how to deal with this old thing. Kill him? I'm afraid not. If this old thing dies, those people in the Forbidden City would really fall out. Right now, I don't have the ability to challenge them.

Throw him away? It was not a good idea to send at least ten Qing Dynasty s away. After thinking about it, only the Dragon Lord's method was the most effective against this kind of shameless lower class expert, and only the sinister methods were the most effective.

Thinking about that, Xiao Letian laughed and said, "Jiao Si Shu, let's get straight to the point, I know what kind of backing you have, but you only know half of what it is, if you want to kill me, I have ten thousand ways. Don't think that your backers will help you, this slut, at most, they will change to a few new ones …"

Jiao Si'er finally understood that he could not afford to lose before the eyes. His legs went soft and he knelt down, "Wuu, Master is merciful, if it isn't my eyes, it's two black coal balls! "I was blinded by my own thoughts and did not know that my lord had offended this lord. I beg this lord to give me a way out and give me a chance to start anew …"

As he spoke till here, Jiao Si used his knees as his feet and walked close to Xiao Letian with a humble look, "This servant is still useful. This servant has been in the capital for so many years, and this servant knows all the major affairs of life.

"Do you want me to become an official? I am familiar with all the brokers in the capital. All the heads of the Donations Department are my drinking buddies. No matter what official I want, I can get seven discounts for any servant … "My good grandfather, please forgive this servant …"

Jiao Si's acting was too outstanding. If Xiao Letian did not investigate this old bastard's background beforehand, he would really have been deceived. pointed to a chair, "Alright, go back to your seat. I'm not that heartless, I'll arrange a task for you later, and we'll see if you have the ability to do so …"

"Master, you just have to say it. My Jiao Si'er doesn't even try at all to fight in the water. The heavens thunder is taking me away …"

"Fine fine fine, stop bullshitting, this grandpa won't do this …" The mission I gave you this time is very simple, it is to buy land. You, Jiao Si, always say that you have great abilities, today I will test your ability to spend money! "

"Tanggu is actually the one that Qing San Ye and I are responsible for. You should know this already. "You should have heard of the difficulties we're facing right now. Seizing land is just too difficult. I don't know what these earth leopards are thinking, but they aren't even willing to sell land at double the price …"

"After thinking about it, I've thought of a miraculous way to contract it …" At this time, Jiao Si was completely attracted to it. Xiao Letian said in a low voice, "In the Tanggu's territory, the best watering fields for normal markets are usually around 20 taels of silver per mu of land. An ordinary dry land would only cost around 18 taels of silver."

"I will offer a price of 100 catties per mu to you for a contract so that you can personally purchase these lands. On the surface, the farmers will sign an agreement with you, but after that, you have to sell them to Industrial Zones. "Think about it, you are so capable, how much money can you earn from this business?"

Hearing this, Jiao Si's eyes immediately lit up. It was the light of greed, the radiance of two taels of silver. "Master, you're not fooling me?" Give me a hundred silver taels to purchase? "Does that mean that the difference saved is all mine?"

"That's right, I'm planning on buying a thousand mu for the first transaction. This is a big deal, one hundred thousand taels of silver. Do you think you have the ability to buy it, Jiao Si?" Xiao Letian leaned on his teacher's chair, and looked at Jiao Si with a crafty look.

Jiao Si'er was a typical financial fanatic, for the sake of leaving the bustling Beijing and coming to the ocean, wasn't it just for money? Before, they only wanted four to five thousand taels of silver for the family's ten thousand taels of silver. This bunch of grandsons could only get four or five thousand taels of silver out of greed.

Now, a deal worth a hundred thousand taels had fallen on his head. How could he not be tempted? Isn't it just buying land? Isn't it just taking advantage of the situation? This was the inherited ability of this group of servants.

Why did the lord want slaves? It was just some dirty work, some dirty work, and some wicked work for them to do. In the Ancient China, the phenomenon of land annexation occurred throughout every dynasty. During the process of land annexation, the Wealthy Class slaves were the most active group of people.

The Jiao Si'er had his own land around the capital, and under the hard work of several generations, he already had over a hundred mu of land. In the process of buying the land, the Jiao family could be said to have a lot of schemes and schemes, and Jiao Si was an expert in buying land.

"This grandpa really wants to contract this deal?" Was it really a hundred taels of silver per mu of land? "I won't lie …" In the end, Jiao Si still couldn't believe her ears.

Xiao Letian casually used his little finger to dig at his ear. Do I still care about this hundred thousand taels of money? This is what I want. Industrial Zones is my suggestion, and I can't even f * cking recruit him, so I won't let this go. I'll just one condition, I'll give you one month's time, finish everything for me … "

This time, Jiao Si was relieved. He knelt down and said, "Don't worry, Master. We are servants to solve Old Master's problem. Please leave this matter to us." With that, he turned and ran out of the grass shack and into the gloomy and cold granary.

"It hasn't even been three minutes when there's a ruckus coming from the granary." Are you serious, Master Four? Old master wants us to buy land? They actually offered a price of fifty-two taels per mu? "Oh god, this is a big deal, we're all experts here …" Cheers filled the granary.

Xiao Letian almost choked to death on his tea, he was stunned listening to his, the Jiao Si'er was too evil, and they transferred the money just like that? Half of his profits would be gone? Impressive, truly impressive! A talent!

At this time, the eastern horizon had already begun to shine, the sleepless night had finally passed. At this time, a few figures walked out from the wilderness, and the one leading them was actually Wang Huaiyuan, the person in charge of the 'Punishment Hall'.

"My Lord, the message from the capital has arrived. Everything has been arranged. We will make our move this morning!"

Xiao Letian turned his head and stared at the group of excited dog slaves in the granary, his mouth curled into a cold smile, "I'll let you guys have a happy month, you will have time to cry later."

At this time, in a small courtyard in the southern part of Beijing, under the light of the morning sun, a few older people had already gotten up.

On one hand, it was because of their age. People who were older liked to get up early, and on the other hand, they could not let the servants get lazy.

"Everyone wake up, everyone wake up. The sun is already shining in their butts, yet they're still sleeping …" "No matter how lazy you are, don't eat breakfast. You guys are going to starve to death …" The old lady scolded him viciously from head to toe, scolding him for being so loud. He could be considered to have woken up in the morning to raise his voice.

Usually, at this time, she would go to the buddhist hall to burn some incense to protect her family's annual wealth. But today, as soon as this old thing entered the buddhist hall, a pig-slaughtering roar came from her.

"Oh my god!" I don't want to live anymore... "Which Thousand Blades did this? How did our family come to steal it …" This voice was very piercing, the son, daughter-in-law, grandson and the maidservants all ran towards the buddhist hall in fright.

When he opened the door, the floor tiles on the right side of the shrine had already been dug up. A large pit had been revealed, and the jar of gold that had been hidden underground had already disappeared without a trace.

"AHH!" "Mother, why is our money gone …" Jiao Si's son knelt on the ground and wailed. That was a thousand taels of gold, it was the struggle of several generations of the Jiao family.

"I said I won't let you be buried here, you guys won't listen, and there's no one staying at the buddhist hall tonight, so what are you waiting for? "I told you to hide under my bed, but you guys didn't listen …" The daughter-in-law sat on the ground, crying.

"Pah …" Wretched girl, do you still think I don't know what you're up to? If you hide in your room, won't it be yours? "Stop dreaming. If you continue howling, I'll tear your mouth apart …" As expected, the old lady had the vigor of an evil mother-in-law. She pointed at her daughter-in-law's nose and cursed her daughter in the street.

"Enough, the two of you stop arguing. First, think of a way to …" His son was so anxious that he was neither inside nor outside.

"Let's report to the officials then. We have so much money to report to the officials …" Some of the servants muttered.

"No, we definitely can't inform the officials …" The three masters shouted out at the same time. They knew clearly that a thousand taels of gold could be exchanged for ten thousand taels of silvers at market prices, but in actuality, it was even more than that. If they reported it to the government, it would be Lu Fu. The government would probably be able to suck up all their blood before the case was solved.

"No, we definitely can't inform the officials. Wait for the old master to come back, then let the old master secretly look for Green Forest's friends …" "This is the only way."

This was the reality of Great Qing Dynasty, if there was a case of theft, even 90% of the case would not be solved, and the servants would have to extort and extort the case. It was not worth it.

The chaos of the morning was over. All the servants had received their orders to keep their mouths shut. The Jiao family was as calm as ever. However, misfortune always seemed to like coming together. At noon, there was even more terrifying news. Before the old woman who was chanting Buddha could catch her breath, she fainted.
