As a major trading town, Qingmu Town has a large number of merchants and prosperous commerce. As a result, the surrounding residential land has also increased, and the price is comparable to that of many lively large counties.

The most important thing is that most people would sell their land and houses if they have nothing to do, and become unfilial descendants.

That is to say, in a calamity year, when there is no harvest and it is difficult to survive, the people have to sell their land to survive.

On weekdays, if you want to buy land or a house, you completely rely on luck.

Manager Rao Shikang, as a local leader in Qingmu Town, has wide connections and good information. After a month, there was no news about "purchasing a homestead".

Fortunately, the good news finally came.

As we all know, Kang Guanshi goes to gambling houses from time to time on weekdays, but he is quite restrained and does not get too involved. He pays attention to a small gambling pleasure.

In his circle, there are many fellow gamblers.

One of the gambling friends is named Li Yuanwai. He has a rich family fortune and a lot of land. He is a well-known big family in the surrounding areas of Qingmu.

Qiu Zhen also knows this member Li. His name is Li Huan. He is a member of the same clan as his neighbor Uncle Li, and he is also the "richest man" in Xiangyang Village.

Li Yuanwai, like Guanshi Kang, has a mature mind and plays with restraint.

It's a pity that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. His eldest son has not learned the good things, and I have learned everything about eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

Even better than blue.

No, in the past few days, Li Yuanwai's son had been gambling heavily and lost a lot. Overnight, he owed a huge gambling debt of three thousand taels, and everyone was locked up in the gambling house.

Don't give money, don't let people go.

Even though the Li family has a big business, it is not easy to suddenly come up with three thousand taels of cash in a short while.

After some financing, there are still many gaps.

In desperation, Li Yuanwai had no choice but to sell the seller's property to save his son.

When Manager Kang heard the news, he immediately approached Mr. Li to help make things happen.

Aoki Pharmacy, a side house in the backyard.

Manager Kang greeted us and sat down:

"Brother Qiu, Brother Li wants to sell 30 acres of fertile land and a second part of the house for four hundred taels. What do you think?"

Qiu Zhen nodded slightly.

He had inquired before that the price of farmland around the outskirts of Qingmu Town was quite high, ranging from 10 taels to 20 taels per acre, depending on the specific fertility and barrenness. A two-entry house was worth dozens of taels of silver.

Not bad at all.

Qiu Zhen knew it, but he didn't answer. Instead, he smiled and asked:

"Guanshi Kang, I'm young and don't know anything. Do you think the price is appropriate?"

"I have personally gone to see it. There are several acres of good paddy fields. The price is quite reasonable."

Kang Zhuangyuan took a sip of tea and asked for credit:

"Originally, he asked for four hundred and fifty taels. I helped you bargain and paid back fifty taels. That means he needed the money urgently, otherwise he would definitely not be willing to sell it."

"Definite sale or live sale?"

“Of course it’s a must-sell!”

Qiu Zhen nodded repeatedly.

Local land sales are divided into "extreme sale" and "live sale".

"Exclusive sale" means selling the ownership of the property, while "live sale" is a "pawn sale", which only sells the "right to use" and "the right to rent and sell". The field roots are still in hand. After the agreed period, you can choose to follow the Redeem at original price.

Generally speaking, "pawn sales" are much cheaper.

"You have been helped by Steward Kang, so I won't worry. I'm sorry to bother you."

Qiu Zhen was not worried about being cheated at all.

Manager Kang had intended to repair the relationship with him, and was even prepared to give away a thousand taels of silver. He would definitely not join forces with others to trick him. Instead, he would stand by his side wholeheartedly, help him look after him, and make sure that nothing happened. Mistakes will not make him suffer.

"Hahaha~"

Seeing that Qiu Zhen accepted his affection, Manager Kang finally let go of his worries and became happier:

"Brother Qiu, do you have enough spare money? If not, take it from me."

"Enough."

Qiu Zhen spent a month hunting for treasures. Although his harvest in the past few days was far less than today, he still saved hundreds of taels of silver. With today's harvest, he had more than a thousand taels of silver in his hand.

This does not include spiritual herbs and precious medicines.

With Kang Zhuangyuan as the middleman, the transaction between the two parties went smoothly.

It is better to break the sun than to hit it.

A group of people went to the government to sign a contract and found an acquaintance to handle special matters.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Qiu Zhen borrowed two carriages from Qingmu Pharmacy and took Zhao Dou and Shen Liang along the official road towards his hometown of Haitang Township.

"Brother Zhen, you are so calm. You became a martial artist and didn't even say a word. You just waited until you bought a farm and a house before returning to your hometown. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to bear it anymore."

"Haha~ Datou, Brother Zhen is for big things. No ordinary martial artist can earn hundreds of taels of silver to buy a house or land. Our Brother Zhen is very confident, so he is not in a hurry."

Zhao Dou and Shen Liang were even more excited than Qiu Zhen when they said something to each other.

To get ahead and buy a house or land in the city is the dream of countless apprentices.

"Haha~"

Qiu Zhen listened to the two brothers' compliments and smiled without answering.

After becoming a martial artist for more than a month, he didn't go back.

Based on his understanding of Qiu's father and Qiu's mother, if he learned that after becoming a martial artist, he planned to go hunting in the mountains to make money and buy land and a house, Qiu's father and Qiu's mother, who had always been cautious, would definitely stop him, lecture him, and not let him go hunting in the mountains.

After all, after becoming a martial artist, you can live a good life in peace and stability, but going on adventures in the mountains is something you absolutely cannot do.

As a result, there is conflict again, which adds to the unhappiness.

So, Qiu Zhen simply said nothing, secretly bought the land, and directly took the second elder brother over.

The family was not too poor, not to the point of not being able to make ends meet, and the two elders still had a lot of savings, so he did not go back to honor them a few days ago.

Even if he gave money and beast meat to honor the two elders, they would probably be reluctant to eat or use them.

Only by buying a house and land in the suburbs and having a rich family property could the two change their "thrifty" style, learn to enjoy a little, and "feel at ease" to accept their children's filial piety.

This is a "reassurance pill".

The family is so poor that it cannot give parents a sense of security. Saying that parents will not enjoy their filial piety and do not understand their filial piety is a cognitive misunderstanding.

It is easy to go from simple to luxurious, because everyone wants good things, and no one is really willing to humiliate themselves.

It is nothing more than the situation.

With a "reassurance pill" and a sense of security, everyone will enjoy it.

The carriage was very fast all the way, and before noon, it had arrived at the tall archway at the entrance of Qiujia Village.

In the rural villages, all the walls were built, traps were set, and young villagers patrolled regularly.

As soon as the carriage stopped at the entrance of the village, someone rushed over immediately.

During this time, there were also dog barkings.

The quiet village seemed to be lively all of a sudden.

"Xiao Xiaozhen! Brother!"

The two villagers at the entrance of the village saw Qiu Zhen, Zhao Dou, Shen Liang and his party jumping off the carriage, and they stared with wide eyes, very surprised.

The reason is simple.

Qiu Zhen was wearing a cloth suit at this moment, a blue shirt with a blue edge, a blue woven cloud pattern cloak on the outside, and cloud shoes on his feet. He looked very handsome, which was very different from the rural folk dress of the past.

After practicing martial arts, Qiu Zhen's figure became tall and burly, and his slightly dark skin became fair, which made him, who was already very good-looking, even more outstanding. At first glance, he looked like a young man from a wealthy family, with a graceful demeanor.

"Brother, Uncle He."

Qiu Zhen looked at his elder brother Qiu Qing, who was patrolling with a spear, with a smile on his face.

"I'm back."
