Longevity: I want to enjoy wealth and honor in the world
Chapter 6 Purchase of Land
This is the mortal world. The garbage from the world of immortality is also a rare treasure when it comes to the mortal world. If the Ironwood Puppet were to hit ordinary soldiers, Feng Tianzong thought it could hit at least a hundred.
After all, this ironwood puppet has no fatal weakness, is powerful, has relatively strong defense, and is not afraid of death. The only fatal weakness is speed, which is also for people in the world of immortality. In the ordinary world, the speed of iron wood puppets can also be compared with ordinary people running.
Looking at the stupid wooden man in front of him, Feng Tianzong felt that he was not up to par. "No, it's better to wear leather armor. A helmet and visor must also be arranged."
It's not to increase the defense, but the wooden man really doesn't have the character, and he looks like a human being when he puts on the leather armor and the mask. With such tall and mighty guards following behind, it would be more impressive.
It's not that Feng Tianzong doesn't want to get armor and put it on the Iron Wood Puppet, but the power of the primary puppet technique is limited. If he is too heavy, the power that the puppet can exert will be small, and the duration will be greatly reduced. It's a simple truth. The cost of fuel for a heavy chassis is totally outweighed by the gain.
The power of the primary puppet technique comes from the small energy-gathering array engraved inside the puppet. Generally, in the world of immortality, small spirit-gathering arrays are engraved to gather spiritual energy as power.
However, spiritual energy is thin in the ordinary world, so Feng Tianzong changed it to an engraved five-element energy-gathering array, which can draw power from the five elements. It's just that the small energy-gathering array has a single attribute, using water to produce wood, which is converted into power. To put it bluntly, with this formation, you only need to water the ironwood puppet to get power.
The battery life is a little short, the power is a little weak, and the movement is a little cumbersome, but it is enough in the mortal world.
"That's right, that's right. From now on, I can leave you to charge into battle and block my sword for me." Feng Tianzong said with satisfaction as he looked at the unusually burly ironwood puppet wearing leather armor and a helmet.
"Master, lunch is ready. Do you need it delivered here?" Aunt Lan's voice sounded outside the door.
"No, Master, I still have things to do. You guys can eat first, and don't forget to give extra meals to the girls who behave well." Feng Tianzong ordered.
The top priority now is to buy land, expand the scope of the territory, and recruit more people to provide him with more time to pay taxes.
Feng Tianzong left home and went straight to Yahang with the Ironwood Puppet.
"What? Want to buy land? How many acres of land?" The clerk from Yahang looked at Feng Tianzong in surprise and said.
"Young Master, it seems that you don't quite understand the situation. Selling land, no matter what the circumstances, is considered a prodigal act.
There were very few people who knew how to sell it, and even if they did, they would sell it directly to the local squires in their hometown. Very few come to town for sale.
Even in those rare cases, most of them were taken down by the big families in the inner city. So for this piece of land, if you want to buy a small amount of ten or eight acres, our dental shop can help you think of a way.
But with thousands of acres of land, it’s not that we don’t want to do your business, it’s that we really have no choice. "The clerk from Yahang explained to Feng Tianzong with a helpless expression.
I originally thought it was a big customer, but I didn't expect that he wanted to buy land on a large scale.
"Huh? Isn't it said that there is a severe drought this year and many people have fled the famine? There are so many refugees in the outer city, where are all the places?" Feng Tianzong asked doubtfully.
"It is true that there is a severe drought, and it is true that many people have been displaced. But their land has long been acquired by the local squires. Who would leave their hometown and become a refugee if there is even the slightest way? Then they must sell everything they can in their hometown. I have no choice but to become a refugee because I really can’t survive anymore,” the clerk from the dental shop explained patiently.
Even if Feng Tianzong is dressed in silk and satin, the clerk at the dental shop is not lacking in patience. Respecting Luo Yi first and then respecting people has been like this since ancient times.
Although his attitude was good, his words made Feng Tianzong feel cold. Without land, it is impossible to expand the population and increase tax revenue. This is a major event that affects longevity.
This is the life-and-death enemy that ruins my path! All enemies that stand in the way of my eternal life are my life and death enemies!
"I want to buy land now. If I add more money, is there anything you can do about it? I can pay you twenty taels of silver for one acre of land, as much as you want." Feng Tianzong said.
Land is actually priceless, and even if you have money, you can't buy much land. This was something he had not expected before. He thought that land would be particularly cheap during natural disasters and man-made disasters.
Unexpectedly, it has long been monopolized by those landlords and wealthy people.
"These bastards took advantage of natural disasters to monopolize food, raise food prices, seize the opportunity to annex land, and make it difficult for the country to make money. They are all bastards who deserve to confiscate their families and exterminate their clans." Feng Tianzong angrily convicted these monopolizing bastards. Opportunity, we must liquidate the crimes of these people.
"Twenty taels?" the tooth shop clerk said in surprise.
"Yes, twenty taels, how about it? Is there any way?" No matter what, he must get the land. Now he still needs time to develop. Now is not the time to fall out with the landlords and rich people, so he can only choose to increase the price.
"Sir, to tell you the truth, the land near Liaoyuan City is in the hands of the three major families in the city. Even if some other small landowners want to sell their land, those fields are scattered in twos and threes in different villages. If you take over, It’s inconvenient to manage, isn’t it?
If you are willing to buy the land for twenty taels of silver, then the little one can help you connect with the Zhou family. You still need to negotiate how much land can be sold to you yourself. "The tooth shop clerk said respectfully.
Feng Tianzong had already inquired about the price of land. The lower-quality land was only five taels of silver per mu, the middle-quality land was ten taels, and the upper-quality paddy field was only seventeen or eighteen taels. This was the price before the disaster.
Nowadays, due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, most farmers can't survive, and the price of land is almost broken. The gentry took advantage of the fire to rob. The upper-quality land was only two or three taels of silver, and the more ruthless ones gave a hundred or so kilograms of old grain.
The lower-quality land was directly abandoned because it was worthless. The large area of wasteland outside the city gave Feng Tianzong the illusion that he could easily buy thousands of acres of land.
"You are a small clerk in the pawnshop, and you can also contact the Zhou family? This pawnshop is almost the same as the Zhou family! The Zhou family is not trying to cheat me, right?" Feng Tianzong thought secretly in his heart.
It's not that Feng Tianzong is persecuted, but in Liaoyuan City, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, the people of the three major families are local emperors. Even the county magistrate sent by the court has to act according to the faces of the three major families.
The royal law of the Great Xia Dynasty is far less effective than the family law of the three major families.
Although Feng Tianzong has just returned, this is his hometown. Before he went to the Xiuxian world, he also lived in the city and had some understanding of the three major families.
It is almost impossible for ordinary people to conduct large-scale normal transactions with these local tyrants.
