Chapter 116: Can Sing and Dance(1/2)

People in this era have great desire for land.

In fact, for an agricultural society, land is a resource and is the foundation for the human life and life.

Because of this, when the third uncle heard that Chen Zhengtai was going to buy land, he immediately felt that Chen Zhengtai had opened up!

Although the Chen family already has a lot of land, for the third uncle, the more land the better.

However, Chen Zhengtai proposed the purchase price of the land, but it scared the third uncle: "Ten Guan and one acres? Then why don't you go and grab it?"

Although as a buyer, the third uncle still feels that the price proposed by Chen Zhengtai is a bit malicious!

Nowadays, a good acre of land is thirty cents. Even if it is a little worse, it will cost at least 17 or 8 cents. This is the lowest price. Ten cents are almost equivalent to the robbery price. If you don’t put a knife on someone else’s neck, no one will be willing to sell it.

"My third uncle just needs to do what I said." Chen Zhengtai said mysteriously: "I counted my fingers and the land price will probably drop in the past few months. You can raise the price first. No one is willing to sell it now, so I can't say it in the future."

The third uncle was skeptical. Although he thought Chen Zhengtai's words were a bit unreliable, he always felt that this nephew had the ability to talk about a crow, and he was unlucky. Do you think it was strange?

"Okay, I will listen to you. I will do the best thing to do. Good land is ten stakes, so wouldn't it be seven or eight stakes? As for other wastelands..."

"The prices of ordinary wastelands can be increased appropriately, and they can also be charged for 6 or 7% of the money."

"ah……"

Now, the third uncle was stunned again!

It turns out that you, a spendthrift thing, want to acquire wasteland.

Speaking of which, because the land is not fertile enough, this wasteland really cannot grow many crops. Because of this, the price is low, and it is 6 or 7 jin of money. I really want to collect as much as I want!

But what's the use of collecting this place?

Seeing that the third uncle was full of suspicion, Chen Zhengtai said seriously: "San Uncle, just do what I said."

The third uncle hesitated for a moment and had to nod, "Okay, okay." So he went with suspicion.

The latest blast furnace was built, and then recruiting personnel began in Zheng County!

In the Tang Dynasty, there was never a shortage of manpower, and even more so in Zhengxian County. Although the place is close to Chang'an, it is only a few steps away. However, because it is a remote place and there are not many crops planted in the fields, there are many idle people!

There is a river in this county that leads directly to Chang'an and also flows through Erpigou. Chen Zhengtai plans to recruit some people to widen the river channel a little further.

As for the ore vein, it was found quickly according to Chen Zhengtai's guidance!

For Chen Zhengtai, time is money, so he didn't delay any more... he immediately ordered people to block the mine vein and then began mining.

The Chen family already has some children and have begun to move to Xian County one after another!

This is Chen Zhengtai realizing that this group of Chen family who are having a good meal cannot be indulged, and they cannot worry about labor. They are just sitting on the ready-made ones!

So he summoned the third uncle, Chen Jiye and his fourth uncle, and directly conveyed his orders, and sent all those who had a good meal to the mine.

These children are not lacking in culture, and they don’t expect them to be able to study for the time being. They were used to being casual and were idle all day long in Chang'an!

Recently, the Chen family began to make a fortune, so they felt their backs straight. In the past, they played with a bird, but later they all took a few bird cages to the street!

Since these bastards cannot change their bad habits and cannot adapt to the new environment, they can simply go to the mine first and dig for a year.

So suddenly, the Chen family and the whole family wailed! It was said that Chen Zhengtai had no conscience, and a group of people came to the door and cried loudly around Chen Zhengtai!

One of them, Chen Zhengtai recognized that he was his cousin, named Chen Zhengxian. Chen Zhengxian cried the most sadly: "Zhengtai, we are a family. Even if you don't give us a fat man on weekdays, what's wrong with raising us for the sake of our ancestors? Are you rich and lacking these children? Zhengtai, you must have a conscience. When you were young, I played your croaker."

Chen Zhengtai was immediately furious and raised his hand and slapped Chen Zhengxian in the face.

With a snap, Chen Zhengxian was stunned. Looking at the murderous Chen Zhengtai, he covered his face. At this moment, his face was so painful!

He was about to say something, but he heard Chen Zhengtai say angrily: "You unworthy child, you play with birds all day long, ruining our Chen family style, and you dare to make noise here. I send you to the mine today, which is to change your bad habits than you unworthy people. Don't force me to make me anxious. I will use the family method and chop off your dog-like things first."

Seeing Chen Zhengtai furious, Chen Zhengxian was furious and said nothing.

He originally thought that Chen Zhengtai was the honest scholar in the past, but he didn't know that he was so powerful that all his thoughts were over!

"Who wants to make trouble again? Let me try to make trouble. See what you dogs look like on weekdays. To mine them tomorrow. If you can't complete the quota, don't think you will come out of the mine and die in it. The Chen family doesn't raise them to eat. Don't think we are relatives. I, Chen Zhengtai, would like to recognize you in this kind of virtue?"

Chen Zhengxian and others are just a group of playboys, and they have never seen such a cruel person.

At this time, Chen Fu was excited to pick up the knife: "Young master, the knife is here."

Chen Zhengtai: "…"

Chen Zhengtai really wanted to roll his eyes. Has he explained to take a knife?

But in front of everyone, Chen Zhengtai took the knife: "Don't force me, who else dares to say no to go now? Let's stand up and see it for me."

The courtyard was already silent, and only people cried.

These playboys are used to bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. When they encounter ruthless people, they will submit.

What's more, Chen Zhengtai is the head of the family. Even if he really wants to use family rules and chop off one or two people, the government will not pay attention to it. This is the Tang Dynasty, and family rules are not smaller than those of national laws.

"Get back and pack your bags, and go to the Mount Virgin Mineral tomorrow."

The group of people dispersed and they didn't dare to contradict Chen Zhengtai anymore.

To deal with these people is ruthless enough.

The Chen family has been decadent for many years, and most of the children of the clan are lazy. This mining is a cruel process of elimination to some extent. Those who can persist can still be saved. If those who can't persist, will they still stay for the New Year?

Chen Zhengtai is very aware of this and has always kept these people in Chang'an City. With the gradual rise of the Chen family, they have the opportunity to just live a life of scattered life and wait for death. In the future, they will have to bully men and women. Then the Chen family is notorious. Even if there are ten Chen Zhengtai, they are afraid they will not be able to clean up the mess!

So Chen Zhengtai gave them two choices, either to die in the mine or to walk out with dignity.

My third uncle naturally strongly supports this point, anyway, he doesn’t have to go to his grandson!

He raised his thumbs up and sighed: "Zhengtai is becoming more and more like a general."

"Uncle San, take your land."

"Oh, oh, okay."

The next morning, a group of Chen's children were carried with their luggage, carrying their birds, and all kinds of items, and boarded a cart with them. Then they set off for the Holy Mother Mountain in Zheng County.

There were hundreds of people in this vast team. Chen Zhengxian was ahead and cried all the way, but no one paid attention to him.

Chen Zhengtai was too lazy to send them to him. Within a year, he would never give these people a little hope!

At this time, he remembered Chen Zhengde, his cousin... he was an honest man. Chen Zhengde was now in Erpigou and was fiddling with several acres of new crops.

Chen Zhengtai brought several crops from the mountaineering bag. The rice seedlings are precious, so although they have cultivated seedlings, they are still in the trial planting stage. Therefore, they built a greenhouse, slowly cultivated the seedlings, and then harvested the rice seedlings.

As for corn, it is probably the same.

There is only one thing, and now I have started to try to plant it. These things like soil lumps have started to grow seedlings from the beginning of the year, and then plant them. When the fruits are harvested, they will continue to grow seedlings!

After doing this, it was already two ripe and enough seedlings. Chen Zhengde and his men chose a piece of land and began to plant it in secret according to Chen Zhengtai's method.

Chen Zhengde is very organized in his work. After Ma Zhou's training, everything is very organized. In addition, he has raised pigs in the past, so he can naturally endure hardships.

He observed these densely planted lumps every day. Although he only had a few acres of land, he was very concerned.

In fact... he found that although he became the duty service of the school and the leader of the agricultural museum, he found that it seemed that the school and the school was very far away from him.

Because no one paid attention to him, even in the province of the Ministry of Education, he didn't even have a public housing house. The so-called agricultural museum only had a sign, and it seemed that nothing had happened.

As for daily life, he always stays in the ridge of the field, no one lets him go to the door, and he is also unable to do anything.

"Brother, I think the potatoes are going to be ripe, but... I'm afraid they won't grow." Chen Zhengde immediately expressed his concern when he saw Chen Zhengtai.

Chen Zhengtai said: "Don't be afraid. Even if this plant cannot be planted, there will always be other things for you to plant. You can take good care of it. When this thing is done, don't worry, I will marry you a good wife."

When Chen Zhengde heard this, he grinned, then hung his head: "I am a boring person. Even if I marry him, I will still be separated."

This is the truth.

Chen Zhengde is very self-aware. Women in the Tang Dynasty can tell how many women who can match Chen Zhengde's family are like three or four virtues. If they see a guy who looks like a "farmer" every day, they will probably kick Chen Zhengde away.

Chen Zhengtai was embarrassed for a moment and didn't know what to say, so he immediately called him, said, keep working hard, and then ran away.

Half a month later, an order came from the palace, saying that General Li Jing was returning to the court and was about to arrive in Chang'an with Tuli Khan.

This time, Li Shimin actually asked the prince and Chen Zhengtai to greet him.

Li Chengqian was very happy to hear this. He wanted to see more of these Turkic people, which was quite fresh.

And for Chen Zhengtai, this is a pain.

It’s not appropriate to ask me Chen Zhengtai to pick up customers. I’m not good at this.

But this was a task assigned by the emperor, so he went there obediently, wearing a dress, and he looked very handsome!

Li Chengqian was also wearing a python robe and led a team of officials from the Ministry of Rites to the inn in western Chang'an!

Someone had already made arrangements here, and then Li Chengqian asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to wait outside, while he and Chen Zhengtai hid in the guest hall of the inn to have tea.

"Senior brother, what do you mean by saying that your father asked Gu and you to welcome the guests?"

Chen Zhengtai thought for a while and said, "Mr. Teacher is unfathomable, so why don't we guess his intention?"

Li Chengqian glared at his eyes: "Why?"

Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but be angry: "What else can you do? Don't guess. Just be your prince. How can you do so many whys?"

Li Chengqian probably understood something. He knew that Chen Zhengtai was actually guessing his father's intentions, but this... just couldn't say it, because if he said it... it became a kind of sin.

So he couldn't help but sigh: "You are too cautious, and you are even more pitiful. Why are you born in the royal family? What's the point of this royal family? As the crown prince, everyone will stare at you, and the brothers are not harmonious. If the father has any thoughts, they will hide them."
