Chapter 860 Preparing to Return

Of course, rewards and punishments must be clear.

The Qin, Jiang, Xu and Qiao families have been rewarded for their contributions in fighting against bandits and suppressing spies.

Houses, shops and other things can only be awarded after the Qin and Jiang families have made great contributions, otherwise it would be against the rules.

"Boss Zhou, Master Han, and Brother Lu, take a look at these lands. Do you want to buy an acre or two? You can build a house on them so that when you come to the capital in the future, you will have your own house to settle down." Uncle Qin suggested that they buy some.

The Zhou, Lu, and Han families were shocked, but Master Han was quick to react and said, "Buy! Thank you, Second Brother Qin, for thinking of us. My eldest brother and I were worried about how to buy a property so that our children can stay in the capital. Second Brother Qin's family really solved our urgent need."

"How much will each family buy? The land price is a bit expensive." Uncle Qin reminded, and then said: "But if you families buy, even if it is expensive, you should buy the land 20 miles outside the city. It is close to the Xiangwu Hall and is quite prosperous. It is also close to the capital city, which is convenient for entering the city. It is a rare area."

Master Han nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Indeed, indeed, the land at thirty miles away is five taels of silver cheaper per mu, but it is much quieter than the land at twenty miles away, and it is a bit far to go back and forth to the capital city...Brother uncle, Third brother Lu, and nephew, let's buy the land at twenty miles away."

"Hey, hey, hey, listen to uncle." The eldest brother of the Han family followed Master Han, and they were of the same clan and had the same voice and spirit.

Mr. Ji was anxious and had to say, "Mr. Qin, Captain Jiang, my family also wants to buy an acre or two of land to build a house to live in, so that we don't have to sleep in the wild when the city gates are closed."

Ji Ju's family had some wealth, but that was not enough to support them in the capital city.

So Ji Ju's family bought a one-story house and a half-story house in the west city of the capital, for their own family and relatives and friends to live in.

"Okay." Uncle Qin agreed.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin, thank you, Captain Jiang, and thank you all." Mr. Ji bowed to express his gratitude.

The Zhou, Lu, Han and Ji families began to divide the land.

Because Zhou Bantou was engaged in the business of collecting colorful grass in Zhoujia Village, he had some money on hand and bought three acres of land for his family.

Master Han was even more powerful. He said, "My family bought five acres... Nephew, how many acres will your family buy?"

What a joke! The land in the prosperous area outside the capital city is priceless even if you have money. Now it's falling on their heads. How can Master Han not take ruthless action?

Boss Han was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "Buy five acres too."

The Han family was a large family in the suburbs of Baofu County, and they always had income, so they could afford the money to buy the land.

After hearing this, Master Han was satisfied... This trip was not in vain, as his cousin's eldest son has become much more courageous.

Master Lu San: “…”

No, you are all so cruel?

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and buy three acres… His in-laws all bought so much, and if he bought less, he would probably be severely beaten by his father when he got home.

"Buy another two acres for Secretary Lu's family." Third Master Lu added, "When he came here, Secretary Lu gave my family a sum of money and told us that he would buy some small land for his family in the capital if there was a chance."

Mr. Ji felt extremely distressed and wanted to curse...but he had to admit that the clerk Lu was a capable person and knew how to follow the Qin family.

"Then my Ji family will buy the remaining two acres of land." Mr. Ji said hurriedly, fearing that the two acres of land would also be snatched away by someone else.

"Yes." Wang Daguanshi responded, and then looked at Jiang Dalang: "Captain Jiang, what about the remaining land?"

Jiang Dalang said, "Buy them all. As for the piece of land thirty miles away, the landlord should still put Qin Xiaomi's name on it."

Hiss, Chief Steward Lu secretly took a breath... This young lady Qin is really a character. Not only did she invent a new dye, but she also tamed the Qin, Jiang, Xu and Qiao families so that they were completely obedient and all the good things were given to her first.

After deciding on the land within 30 miles, Jiang Dalang asked the others, "Second Uncle, Uncle Dayan, Uncle Dashi, do you want to buy the land within 50 miles?"

Several families counted their assets and finally said, "We only need five acres each."

"Yes." Jiang Dalang said, "Manager Wang, the land within fifty miles is five mu each for the seven families. The Qin family has twenty-five mu, and the Jiang family has twenty mu. Please get the deed."

"Yes, yes, yes." Manager Wang responded hurriedly, a little afraid of Jiang Dalang.

As expected of a centurion, he exudes the aura of a blade. No wonder several families are afraid of him. He buys whatever he divides.

Steward Wang added, "If you, the distinguished guests, want to go and see the land, our brokerage firm can send a car to pick you up tomorrow... How about a little after noon?"

Uncle Qin nodded: "Okay, you guys can make the arrangements."

Li Daguanshi didn't understand... Did the master behind Wang Daguanshi think so highly of the Qin and Jiang families? He actually sold out this good resource that he had been holding on to for many years? He must be stupid.

If I were to sell it, I would sell it to Mr. Jing and Mr. Xun.

"Master Qin, we have to deliver the house deeds of Mr. Jing and Mr. Xun." said Li, the chief steward.

Manager Wang has made such a great deal, the Qin and Jiang families wouldn't be so stingy as to not take them to meet the nobleman, right?

Uncle Qin was not as shy as he was. He stood up and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the Si Building where Master Jing lives."

"Thank you, Master Qin!" Lu, Li and Wang were extremely excited and followed happily. They adjusted their clothes several times on the way as they were afraid that their attire would be in disarray and offend Master Jing.

However, they miscalculated.

They were unable to enter the main gate of Si Building. Xue Mingyi and Li Zhiyuan came out to meet them, took the box and then went back. They had no intention of taking them in to see Master Jing.

They didn't even see Master Ying.

King Lu Li was very depressed.

However, this is normal... Yesterday, General Manager Lu was able to meet Old Master Jing and Ying Zilin because of the Qin, Jiang, Xu and Qiao families.

"Thank you, Uncle Qin. I will send a convoy to pick you up tomorrow to view the land." Director Lu thanked him, said goodbye to Uncle Qin, and left Wu Garden.

After returning to the pawnshop, General Manager Lu said to them, "Don't be depressed. Just do your job well and don't let this matter affect your mood. This famous scholar and nobleman were not people we could meet. We were lucky to have met them yesterday."

"What the chief steward said is true." Steward Wang responded. Anyway, he could still take Qin, Jiang, Xu and Qiao's families to look at the land tomorrow. Maybe he could even go to Wu Garden once or twice and meet celebrities, noblemen, or even the Duke of Yan.

Manager Li was quite worried. If he had known this earlier, he would have given up a piece of land to give himself another chance to meet the nobleman.

However, it was too late.

……

The next morning, Qin, Jiang, Xu, and Qiao's families drove out of the city and looked at land in three places.

They were very satisfied and every household paid the bills on the spot.

However, it was almost evening when I returned to the city, so I couldn’t get the land deed and had to wait another day.

Manager Wang was efficient and delivered the title deed and other documents the next morning.

He was also lucky enough to meet Old Man Xun, as well as Old Man Jing and Ying Zilin who were sticking to Old Man Xun.

When he returned to the pawnshop, his manager Li was so envious that he wondered whether he should persuade his master to give up some of the resources including houses, shops and lands he controlled to the Qin family.

However, the Qin, Jiang, Xu and Qiao families no longer had any intention of purchasing property, but instead began to get busy with preparations for their return journey.

"It's almost July now. We have to prepare for our return trip as early as possible. We have to go back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th."
