C159 Contractor Jiao Si

Jiao Si Er was dragged out by the bald guards while touching the dark. When a red charcoal brazier appeared in front of him from the leeward shed, Jiao Si Shu scrambled over and almost took the brazier into his arms.

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

"Master!" "Oh my Lord Xiao, I know I was wrong, I will change anything, I will change everything, from now on, you have to make a rule for me. If I, Jiao Si Er, am even the slightest bit against this, I will be struck by lightning!"

Jiao Si was freezing cold to the point that his nose was running cold. dog slave had sharp eyes and 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.

"Tsk tsk …" The famous Jiao Si Shu of the Beijing, how come he was frozen into a bear shape today? "Someone come, show Jiao Si Shu and serve him a cup of hot tea. I will chat with Master Four for a bit …"

At this moment, Jiao Si's internal organs were about to freeze to 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 narrowed his eyes and stared 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, the rest of the Forbidden City will really fall out with him, I don't have the power to challenge him now.

Throw him away? It was not a good idea to send at least ten Manchu s away. No matter how he thought about it, only Dragon Lord's method was the most effective. To deal with such a shameless Lower Nine Paths, only the insidious method was the most effective.

Thinking about this, Xiao Letian smiled and said, "Jiao Si Shu, let's get straight to the point. I'm very clear on what background you have, but you only know half of what background I have. There are ten thousand ways to kill you and me, don't think that your backers will come back for your cheap life. At most, they will come back with a few new ones …"

Jiao Si Er finally understood that he couldn't afford to lose anything in front of his eyes. His legs gave way and he knelt down. "Wuu, my lord, please be merciful. My eyes are not for eyes, they are for black coal balls!" "I was blinded by my own thoughts and didn't know that the lord had offended me. Please give me a way out and give Slave a chance to start anew …

At this point, Jiao Si used his knees as a stepping stone, walked to Xiao Letian, and said humbly, "Slave is still useful. Master, think about it, Slave has been in the Capital City for so many years, and he knows all about small affairs and relationships. Master will definitely use me in the future, such as to pull some connections, walk through the back door, and so on."

"Do you want me to become an official? I am familiar with all the brokers in the Capital City, all the heads of the Donations Department are my drinking buddies, no matter what official I want, Slave will be able to get seven discounts for me … "My good grandpa, please forgive Slave …"

Jiao Si's acting was really too outstanding. If Xiao Letian didn't investigate this old bastard's background beforehand, he was afraid that he would have been deceived. However, the show had to go on today. Xiao Letian pointed at the chair and said, "Alright, go back and sit down. I'm not that heartless. Let's see if you have the ability to do such a thing later on …"

"Speak plainly, I, Jiao Si Er, am not even the slightest bit willing to give my all. The heavens thundered and took 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. Jiao Si always said that he was capable, today I will test your spending power! "

"Tanggu, this Industrial Zones is actually under Qing San Ye and I's responsibility. 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 already attracted by Wu Tie's words. Xiao Letian said in a low voice, "In Tanggu, the best water garden is around 20 taels of silver per acre. If there are normal dry lands, that would be the end of it …"

"I will offer a price of 100 taels of silver per mu to you for a contract. You will be the one to personally purchase these lands and on the surface, Farmers will sign an agreement with you. However, after that, you will sell them to Industrial Zones. Think about it, since you, Jiao Si, are so capable, how many silver can you earn from this business? "

Hearing that, Jiao Si's eyes immediately lit up. It was the light of greed, the radiance of the silver: "I am 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 to buy a thousand mu for the first transaction. This is a big deal, one hundred thousand taels of silver. Do you think Jiao Si has the ability to buy it?" Xiao Letian leaned back in his teacher's chair and looked at Jiao Si in a crafty manner.

Jiao Si Er was a typical money grubber, so when he left the bustling Beijing for the side of the sea, wasn't it for the sake of the silver? Before, they had to pay 10,000 taels of silver for the family silver. This group of people were only able to get four or five thousand taels of silver out of Grandchild's hands. Moreover, they needed more than ten people to pay.

Now, there was actually a deal worth a hundred thousand taels of silver? How could Jiao Si not be tempted? Isn't it just buying land? Isn't it just taking advantage of the situation? This was all the skill passed down in Slave's family.

Why Master raised Slave, it was just some dirty work, black work, wicked work for them to do. In the ancient history of China, the phenomenon of land annexation occurred throughout the entire Dynasty. In the process of land annexation, the Clan Evil Slaves were the most active group of people.

Jiao Si Er himself owned a few acres of land around the Capital City, and under the efforts of several generations, he had already made several acres of land. In the process of purchasing the land, the Jiao family could be said to have a lot of schemes and tricks up their sleeves.

"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 his ears.

Xiao Letian casually dug his ear with his little finger. "Tsk!" 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 did what Slave did just to solve Old Master's problem. Leave this matter to us." After saying that, he rushed out of the grass shack and entered the cold granary s.

Not even three minutes had passed when a clamor came from within 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 …" The granary immediately cheered.

Xiao Letian nearly choked to death on his tea. He was completely dumbfounded by what he heard. Jiao Si Er was too evil, and he just gave it away like that? Half of his profits would be gone? Impressive, truly impressive! A talent!

At this time, the eastern horizon had already begun to light up. The sleepless night had finally passed. At this time, a few figures walked over from the wilderness. The one leading them was actually Wang Huaiyuan, the person in charge of 'Discipline Hall'.

"adults, the Flying Pigeon Message from Capital has arrived, everything has been arranged. We will start this morning!"

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

At this time, in a small courtyard in the Northern Capital City, under the light of the morning sun, a few older people had already climbed back up.

Jiao Si Er's wife didn't sleep much every day. On one hand, due to her age, older people liked to get up early, and on the other hand, she couldn't let the servants be 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 …" old lady cursed fiercely from one room to the other. It would be considered as getting up in the morning to raise his voice when he cursed at them for being in such a big circle.

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!" Old Mother, I don't want to live anymore... "Which Thousand Blades did this? How did our family come to steal it …" His voice was very piercing. His son, daughter-in-law, Little Grandchild, and the servants of maidservant ran towards the buddhist hall in fright.

When he opened the door to take a look, the floor tiles on the right side of the buddhist shrine had already been dug out and a large pit had been revealed. The jar of Gold that was originally hidden underground had already disappeared without a trace.

"Ah!" "Mother, why is our money gone …" Jiao Si's son knelt on the ground and cried. 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 …" daughter-in-law sat down on the ground, her face full of tears.

"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, old lady had the enthusiasm of an evil mother-in-law. He pointed at daughter-in-law's nose and cursed at her 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 Master shouted out at the same time. They were very clear that one thousand taels of Gold could be exchanged for ten thousand li of silvers at market price, but in reality, it was even more than that. If they reported it to the officials, it would be Lu Fu, and before they solve the case, the government would probably suck all their blood dry.

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

This was the reality of the Daqing. If the case were to be reported, there was a 90% chance that the case of theft would not be solved, and service would have to extort the case to blackmail them. This 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, a more horrifying news spread out. old lady, who was chanting, fainted before he could even catch his breath.
