The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!

Bang!

Xiao Ergang kicked over the bench in the inn.

The accompanying boy was startled and stepped forward to help the bench up.

But Xiao Ergang was particularly upset and kicked him over again!
"Son!"

"Don't call me!" Xiao Ergang pointed outside and cursed angrily: "That old dog surnamed Ding is bullying people too much!"

"Yes, yes, he deserves to die!" the boy echoed, and moved forward cautiously, holding up the bench and setting it up.

Xiao Ergang nodded in agreement: "You are right, he indeed deserves death!"

"When the imperial court moved south, all the people in the capital just followed the general trend and followed the emperor to the south. Why do you think that when you return to the capital, it will become his?"

The boy corrected him: "Young master, he belongs to the queen. He is not qualified to own the capital as an old dog."

Xiao Ergang: "."

He pursed his lips: "Okay, you said it belongs to the queen. The house and shop in the capital are clearly written in black and white. These properties belong to our Xiao family. Why did she take over her after just walking around? Why do I feel that This queen is more of a bandit than a bandit, and more of a robber than a robber?"

As he spoke, he was so angry that he kicked the bench again.

The bench clanked and fell to the ground again.

The boy stepped forward and lifted up the bench. After a little inspection, he found that the bench was intact. He patted the dust on the bench. It was really a strong bench.

"Master, the situation is stronger than the person. Now that she is the queen, what can we do to her?"

"Just because I can't do anything to her is the most irritating thing!" Xiao Ergang sat down on the bench this time.

The boy hurriedly stepped forward and poured him a glass of water: "Master, drink some water, you can calm down."

"Hmph!" Xiao Er just drank a glass of water and put down the cup, still full of anger: "There has been no change of dynasty, so that woman just said that land deeds and house deeds don't count? The accumulation of several generations of my Xiao family has entered into hers. pocket?"

"Even if she snatched the capital from the barbarians in Beidi, if she wants to keep it as her own, we can only suffer from this dumb loss. But what reason does she have to put the vast area outside the capital under her name?
What right does she have to arrange all of our fields to the poor?The land in Gyeonggi is the land accumulated by our family for generations! "

The young man stood aside silently and listened. The young master did not understand. In the words of Manager Ding, it was better to reorganize the land reform now than to wait for the return of the court.

"Tuk Tuk."

There was a knock on the door.

"Who!"

"Young Master, it's the young one!"

The young man heard the voice and said to Xiao Ergang: "Master, this is Qingwu."

With that said, he opened the door and let Qingwu enter the room.

"Sir, the steward named Ding has returned to the city. Do you want to see him?" Qingwu asked softly.

"Go!" Xiao Ergang said through gritted teeth. He stood up and walked out the door angrily.

The two boys in the room looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

"Manager Ding, the young master of the Xiao family is here again."

Ding Daqiang, who was sitting in the study reporting the situation to Wei Dong, listened to the report from the people below, looked at each other with Wei Dong, and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Xiao has already figured it out."

Wei Dong smiled and nodded: "It seems you guessed right."

Ding Daqiang said to the visitor: "Go and invite people in."

After they left, he asked Wei Dong again: "Master Wei, do you think Mr. Xiao is here to buy a house or a farm?"

Wei Dong smiled, took a document, read it, and replied vaguely: "It's all possible."

"You!" Ding Daqiang smiled and shook his head. Just after drinking a cup of tea, the people below had already brought Xiao Ergang in.

As soon as Xiao Er entered the study room, he found that Wei Dong was also there, so he walked forward and bowed obediently: "I have met Mr. Wei."

Wei Dong was quite polite to the God of Wealth. He smiled and said, "No need to be polite. Mr. Xiao, please sit down."

Ding Daqiang personally poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Xiao Ergang: "Master Xiao, please have tea."

The service attitude is quite good.

Xiao Ergang narrowed his eyes slightly and also smiled, "We don't speak secretly. I came here today and I think you also know my purpose. I will ask you how much money our Xiao family's house in the capital costs. Can it be returned to the original owner?"

"Pfft!" Ding Daqiang couldn't help laughing.

The smile on Xiao Ergang's face faded, and he frowned and asked, "What do you mean by Manager Ding? Are my words funny?"

Ding Daqiang waved his hand: "Master Xiao, since we are here to do business, we will not take advantage of our words. From the day our master took the capital from Beidi, the entire capital belongs to our master. If you want to buy it, If you like the house you like, do it as soon as possible, after all, we don’t have to worry about selling our properties in the capital!"

"You" Xiao Er just took a deep breath. If his temper at home were to be followed, he would definitely be whipped.

Damn slave!
I can't beat you to death!

"How much money will it cost if I want to redeem our Xiao family's house in the capital?"

Ding Daqiang raised his eyebrows after hearing what he said: "The house Mr. Xiao is interested in is indeed in a good location. According to our master's wishes, there is a % discount for customers who actively cooperate with our work."

Xiao Ergang didn't understand, so he frowned and asked: "What the hell is % off? You just tell me how much money it is?"

Ding Daqiang smiled and said: "The house you are interested in covers an area of ​​58 acres. In this capital city where land is at a premium, especially in the area close to the imperial city, the total price of this house is taels."

"What?" Xiao Ergang thought he had heard wrong.

Ding Daqiang walked to the abacus and fiddled with it, "Another 55% discount will be given. After the discount, the price will be 1000 taels of silver. Would you like to pay with a check or in cash?"

"Are you not mistaken?" Xiao Ergang never expected that he would pay the full price for his own house.

In his imagination, since the queen and the prince were short of money, they would have to pay % of the money to redeem their house, but unexpectedly, they were so cruel that they actually asked them to buy the house in full.

Ding Daqiang raised his hand and shook all the beads of the abacus. He put down the abacus and said with a smile: "I think I have been in the business world for decades, and how could I make such a simple calculation wrong? You heard me right, 55 Two, you can buy this house back."

Xiao Er just wanted to vomit blood after hearing this!

"What about adding these?" Xiao Ergang threw out another pile of land and house deeds.

Settlement!
Ding Daqiang likes this the most. If there is an accounting, it means there is money coming in.

"Wait a moment, I'll help you figure it out right away." The Xiao family has a big business. Just looking at these deeds, there are more than shops in the capital, several other courtyards, and Zhuangzi outside the city. At least a few million dollars worth of property.

Of course, Xia Jing has a conscience, and she won't hold up a person's wool.

The price she gives these people will not be the price of the peak of the capital, but the price of post-disaster reconstruction. Otherwise, if these noble families are forced into a hurry, they may do something outrageous, and then they will be asking for trouble.

"The areas you are looking at are all bustling main streets. There are more than 100 shops with a total price of 95 million taels. The 26% discount is 120 taels. In addition, the other courtyard is taels after the discount, and the Zhuangzi outside the city is taels after the discount. Ten thousand taels, all the property in total is..."

"Crackling"

"The total is 290 taels of silver, which is equivalent to 1000 taels of gold!"

It's still cool to get money from big businesses. Look at it, you can make money faster than any other business.

Xiao Ergang really felt the fishy sweetness in his throat this time. What if he wanted to curse?
Damn it, you want nearly 300 million taels of silver from him at the drop of a hat. Do you really think this money fell from the sky?
Seeing that his face turned purple, Ding Daqiang kindly handed him a list, "Mr. Xiao, this is the list. If you think the price is too expensive, you can exclude some industries."

Xiao Ergang gritted his teeth and said: "No! We, the Xiao family, cannot lack anything!"

Ding Daqiang: "Well, as long as you are happy!"

Xiao Ergang took the list, looked at Wei Dong who had been sitting on the main seat without saying a word, and said, "Master Wei, you and my cousin are officials in the same dynasty, so you don't have any sympathy to talk about. There is no shortage of these properties. ?”

Wei Dong smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't get involved in all the industries in the capital. The Empress Queen has only given charge of these industries to Manager Ding, so I can't help."

Xiao Ergang snorted coldly in his heart, looked down at the list.

It’s just a list, right?
"Manager Ding, are you correct in this list? The land deed I gave you contains more than just these properties!"

Ding Daqiang pushed the land deed in his hand over and said, "I'm not mistaken, some of these properties are not for sale, so as long as they can be sold, I'll include them all for you."

Xiao Ergang frowned: "What do you mean? Why are these properties not sold to the outside world?"

Ding Daqiang stood up and pushed open the study window, looking at the new green branches outside and feeling the warm spring breeze.

He turned around and said, "I think Mr. Xiao must have heard about the re-registration of farmland, the re-measurement and division of land, and the investigation of hidden households and the restoration of household registration, right?"

Of course Xiao Ergang had heard that the land reform was first implemented in Lingnan, and later when Prince Qian took the throne, the land reform was extended to other places.

"Do you want to implement land reform in the Gyeonggi region?"

Ding Daqiang nodded: "Master Wei is in charge of this matter, but I helped a little."

Wei Dong was sitting in danger: "That's exactly the case. When Beidi invaded the Gyeonggi area, the basic people had already fled. Now that the people want to come back, they must re-register and register, and the household registration will be rearranged.

In the face of the people who are about to return, the government must of course prepare the fields first, otherwise how can the people come back but have no land to cultivate? "

Xiao Ergang finally figured it out, "With you, we are going to distribute our Xiao family's property to that untouchable!"

Wei Dong knocked on the table: "Young Master Xiao, please pay attention to your choice of words. The innocent people did not offend you. They are the cornerstone of the Yu Dynasty. The Queen and the Crown Prince will not just watch them have no land to cultivate."

"No, you have eliminated so much land, but the money has not been reduced at all. There are no profiteers like you in business!"

Xiao Ergang was almost furious. The money was not underestimated, but a lot of land was eliminated. Where did this queen who had never met get Pixiu from? She was so stingy!

After hearing what he said, Ding Daqiang was no longer willing, "Master Xiao, please be careful. Although I am not a traitor or a businessman, I am not one of them. Again, stop talking nonsense. If you want to buy these properties, please do so. You have three days to pay the money and apply for the deed, and we will not wait until the expiration date. You must know that the four major city gates are almost overcrowded recently, and there are returnees lining up to enter the city every day!"

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps came from the door again. Not long after, the person had arrived at the door of the study.

"Sir, Steward Ding, Mr. Chen from Ruzhou came to see Steward Ding to buy real estate."

Manager Ding raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Invite him in!"

In front of Xiao Ergang, Mr. Chen readily bought his original house in the capital.

After getting the newly issued house deed, Mr. Chen asked: "I wonder if the house next to my house is already owned?"

By coincidence, the house that Mr. Chen asked about was one of the Xiao family's villas in the capital.

Ding Daqiang glanced at him and said to Mr. Chen: "There is no owner yet. If you want to buy this house, you can wait three days. If the owner of this house still doesn't pay, then you can come over and trade."

"Thank you, Manager Chen, for taking the trouble." Mr. Chen left, at least on the surface, satisfied.

Xiao Ergang watched Mr. Chen leave with brisk steps. He felt that stars were shining in front of his eyes and the house was shaking a little.

Ding Daqiang asked worriedly: "Mr. Xiao, are you okay?"

Xiao Er just wanted to vomit when he heard the old dog's voice. He was sick.

He rubbed his brows, and after a while, he recovered.

"Tomorrow you will send a government servant to the inn to pick up the banknotes and bring the deed with you."

He didn't want to stay here for a moment. If he stayed any longer, Xiao Ergang was afraid that he would be so angry that he would suffer a stroke and become paralyzed!

The young master of the Xiao family went to the Yamen and was robbed of nearly 300 million taels of silver. When he returned to the inn, he lay there for three days. The servants even helped him complete the exchange of money and deeds the next day.

In addition to arranging spring plowing every day, Ding Daqiang also has to take the trouble to receive people from all walks of life who have returned from various places. Among these people, there are many who show their unwillingness on their faces like Xiao Ergang, and some who use their power to oppress others and want to take advantage. man of.

Needless to say, the hard work involved in receiving all kinds of people every day.

But hard work always pays off. Ding Daqiang wrote down what happened in the capital during this period and sent people to Jizhou as quickly as possible.

As for Xia Jing and Li Chengmu in Jizhou, the advance of the army and the replacement of officials went smoothly, but there are always messy obstacles when it comes to powerful families.

But fortunately, it went smoothly overall. Whenever she encountered an official who violated the law, Xia Jing would directly use simple and crude methods to remove and check the officials. If there were no problems, then yes, they were clean officials.

Cultivate him and let him continue to serve as an official in another place.

If there are any problematic officials, they will naturally be liquidated, ranging from exile to beheading.

Xia Jing's vigorous and resolute actions in Jizhou scared everyone in Jizhou's official circles. When she gained some momentum, many officials fled or surrendered in fear.

What can they do if they don't run away for their lives?

You might still survive if you run away, but you'll die if you don't.

Most officials with minor crimes choose to surrender and seek leniency.

The entire officialdom of Dayu was extremely corrupt, and those who committed relatively minor crimes were classified as good officials. Xia Jing did not kill everyone with one stroke, and she still wanted to keep the officials who could be used.

Otherwise, they would all be imprisoned, and the Yu Dynasty would have no officials available.
