Old Grandfather Wang was a dark old man. He wore hemp shoes and rolled up his trousers. His hemp clothes were very clean.
Only his eyes occasionally flashed.
Xu Jiang thought it was a village and went up to greet them.
When he heard that Xu Jiang was a doctor, Old Mr. Wang took a few more glances at him.
The old man was Marquis Wucheng, Wang Jian.
It was rare for him to have free time today, so he went out for a walk.
When they met Old Wu, the two of them started chatting.
He had long heard that Old Wu's comrade's nephew had opened a clinic, but he had never heard of this person. His medical skills should be very average.
Xu Jiang asked,"
"Uncle Wu, is there anyone selling land nearby?”
Uncle Wu laughed.
"As long as you're willing to buy it, I'll sell you all the land in this village!”
Xu Jiang was a little puzzled. Was farming not good enough?
Uncle Wu explained.
It turned out that most of the land here was mountainous, and the land was barren.
Xu Jiang didn't care about the quality of the land and said,"
"Then give me a fair price. Buy all the land nearby.”
As he spoke, he handed Uncle Wu a cloth bag.
Uncle Wu opened it and saw a few gold ingots.
The gold of Great Qin was not circulated and had to be exchanged for copper coins at the government.
Uncle Wu asked,"
"Dalang, how much land do you want to buy?"
"Use this money to buy it. It's still up to you."
"Then how do you collect the rent?"
"How does the Wang Village collect rent?"
"I heard that it's a 50% cut."
Xu Jiang thought about it. It was still a heavy burden to collect 60% of the output of one mu of land.
"We'll take 30% of the 100%." Xu Jiang said.
He bought the land to reserve land and expand the planting of sweet potatoes.
He did not expect to exploit the tenant farmers to make a fortune.
Wang Jian spat out a mouthful of water. Young man, you want to cause trouble!
A tenant farmer like you will be a thorn in the Wang family's side.
What did the surrounding villagers think of the Wang family?
Would the tenants of the Old Wang family still be able to stay?
Uncle Wu advised,
"Take 60% first and then return half. Otherwise, the surrounding landlords will have objections.”
He knew that Great Grandfather Wang was from the Wang Family Residence, but he thought that he was a tenant of some family.
Xu Jiang agreed.
Wang Jian was puzzled and said,"
"What can you earn from this?"
30%, it would be good if he didn't pay.
Xu Jiang waved his hand.
"How much money can you earn by digging for food in the soil? I'll be satisfied if I can break even. What's the point of bickering with a few bitter people!”
Wang Jian was so angry that his nose was almost crooked.
This old man is actually useless!
The kid of the Xu family should not be a son!
Uncle Wu saw that Old Wang did not look too good and quickly spoke up for him.
"Dalang, 50% is already very low. Most of them are 80% or 90%.”
~
As the few of them were talking, Li Gai rode his horse over and shouted excitedly from afar,
"Brother Xu, I shot a wild chicken!”
Running closer, Li Gai saw Wang Jian and was greatly shocked.
He hurriedly got off his horse and trotted over. He bowed and said,"
"Little Li Gai greets the Senior Marquis!”
Xu Jiang and Uncle Wu were shocked!
This was the War God, Marquis Wucheng, Wang Jian.
Uncle Wu was even more dumbfounded!
The person they often chatted with was actually a big shot!
Xu Jiang bowed deeply to Wang Jian.
"Greetings, Lord Marquis!"
Wang Jian pouted his beard, raised his head to look at the sky, and said with a cold snort,
"This old man is such a good-for-nothing. I don't dare to accept your bow!”
Xu Jiang laughed secretly. This old thing still bore grudges!
Uncle Wu also hurried forward to bow.
Wang Jian waved his hand.
"Old Wu, I'm still Old Wang, let's not talk about so much red tape.”
~
With Wang Jian around, Li Gai was very honest.
Knowing his identity, Uncle Wu was also restrained.
The atmosphere became awkward.
At this moment, Butler Wang Dong arrived with an ox cart.
The sun was already setting and smoke rose from the kitchen chimneys.
Many mothers were calling their children home for dinner.
When Wang Dong saw Xu Jiang, he hurriedly went forward to greet him."
"Little divine doctor, so you're from this village!”
Wang Jian gave a cold snort and boarded the ox cart.
Godly doctor my ass!
This old man has never heard of it!
Wang Dong originally wanted to talk about Li Cheng's matter, but seeing Wang Jian's angry huff, he could only give up.
After bidding farewell to everyone, Wang Dong drove the ox cart back.
On the ox cart, Wang Jian was slightly surprised.
Wang Dong was too polite to Xu Jiang!
It was even a little fawning!
He was very arrogant and never stood on ceremony with young masters.
What was wrong with this old thing today?
Do you have a favor to ask?
The ox cart creaked away.
~
Meng Yi left the court and went directly to his eldest son, Meng Sheng.
The room was dead.
The servant girls stood carefully in the corner.
Meng Sheng leaned against the bed in a daze.
"Doctor Xu came?"
Meng Yi's heart sank.
Even Xu Jiang was helpless?
Well, Xia Wuqi had no choice.
Other doctors were even more useless!
Meng Yi was imagining things when Meng Sheng said weakly,
"The clinic hasn't been open all day. I don't know where Dr. Xu went.”
Meng Yi heaved a sigh of relief.
So Xu Jiang didn't come!
"Maybe he went out for a visit? It was said that he had a close relationship with Li Gai. Did he not send someone to the Li residence to ask?”
Meng Sheng replied,"
"I just sent a scribe."
As the father and son were talking, the scribe returned.
Meng Yi hurriedly asked,
"Have you found Second Young Master Li?"
The scribe reported,"
"Second Young Master Li and Doctor Xu went to the countryside early in the morning.”
Meng Yi hurriedly asked,
"You went hunting?"
But it was just spring, not the hunting season!
The scribe replied,"
"One of Second Young Master Li's attendants came back in the afternoon and said that he went to the Wang Village.”
Meng Yi was stunned. He pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Got it."
The scribe retreated.
Meng Sheng hurriedly said,"
"Father, send someone to invite him!"
Meng Yi waved his hand.
"The Wang Village belongs to Marquis Wucheng's family."
Meng Sheng was puzzled.
"Then what?"
Meng Yi sighed and said,
"That manor is specially used by Old Marquis Wang to treat his grandson. It seems that Doctor Xu has gone to the Wang family to see a doctor.”
Meng Sheng was very annoyed!
He pounded the bed board with all his might!
Meng Yi had no other choice.
Just wait patiently!
Compared to Wang Jian's grandson, the eldest son only had a broken leg. It was simply not worth mentioning!
