Chapter 1325 Blackmail
Chu Lin understood the meaning and agreed respectfully. Then, she asked curiously, "Master, why did you buy such a big house?"
"When they all get married, they must have a place to stay. We can't let them continue to live crowdedly in another courtyard." Xia Zihan said, "It's crowded there now, and they will have children in the future. If they live in a spacious place, it can also reduce some minor friction between them. ”
Although those little girls and boys were loyal to her and devoted themselves to her, wherever there were people, there would be competition. Therefore, although they seemed harmonious on the surface, in fact, they often competed with each other secretly.
It's just that they are afraid of Chu Lin, a boss with fierce tactics, so the fight is not obvious.
"Master, I think it's better to buy a piece of land than to buy a ready-made house, and we can build one directly. In this way, we can build whatever we want," Chu Lin said. He suggested enthusiastically.
Xia Zihan had already thought about this problem, but if he wanted to find a piece of free land in the overcrowded capital, where could he find it?
Chu Lin thought for a while and then said, "There is a City God's Temple in Nancheng. It has been idle for many years and the house has collapsed. How about, Master, go into the palace and talk to Chu Cong and ask her to give us the land. ”
The Chenghuang Temple is located in the southernmost part of Nancheng. It is a remote place, far away from the center of the city, and there is a small mountain forest behind it. Because there have been deaths there in the past, and there have also been incidents where girls from aristocratic families were kidnapped and raped in the small mountain forest by ruffians, so , people in the capital are very afraid of the Chenghuang Temple, and they would not go there easily on weekdays.
Even the families closest to the City God's Temple have moved away, not daring to continue living there. They say ghost screams can often be heard in the City God's Temple in the middle of the night.
Xia Zihan smiled and said, "That's a good place. It's big and remote. It's not far from Prince Anjun's mansion." If you use Qinggong to fly, it's only a cup of tea away, "half the distance from the small courtyard."< br>
After a pause, she added, "It's just that it's the City God's Temple. If we want to buy that piece of land, we have to demolish the City God's Temple. Just talking to the Queen is not enough for this. We need to get the Emperor's imperial edict."
It was a temple. Even if there was no incense now, and even the layer of gold plating on the body of the City God in the temple had been stripped away, leaving only a pile of rotten wood, it was not something that Prince Anjun could just occupy.
What's more, that piece of land is huge. Now that it is rumored that there is an unjust death in the Chenghuang Temple, no one will think of occupying that land. However, once she builds rows of small houses there, others will be jealous. .
But if there is an imperial decree from the emperor, no matter how jealous outsiders are, what can happen.
"Then go into the palace and ask for an imperial edict from the emperor. We are buying it, but we are not denying you the money." Chu Lin said matter-of-factly.
Xia Zihan smiled and said, "If I go directly to speak to the emperor, it would be strange if the emperor has such a temper and doesn't open his mouth like a lion."
"How about letting Chu Cong go to find out the emperor's tone first?" Chu Lin came up with an idea.
"That can only be like this."
Xia Zihan immediately wrote a letter and sent it to the palace. The next day, she received a summons from the queen.
Xia Zihan entered the palace with his two precious sons who were eager to see him.
After letting the palace maids take a few children to play, Chu Cong and Xia Zihan went to the inner room to talk. Chu Cong said, "Master, I already heard about the emperor last night."
"What did the emperor say?" Xia Zihan smiled, as if she didn't care, but Chu Cong, who knew her well, knew that the master must really want this land, otherwise, she would not be allowed to go to the emperor to find out.
I'm afraid that the master is determined to get this land. Chu Nong's face fell, and he said apologetically, "That stubborn donkey, I said so many good things, but he just won't let go. It's just a piece of land, and he insists on asking for one hundred thousand taels of silver. He thinks his land is made of gold, so he said It’s only one hundred thousand taels. This is clearly a robbery, and it’s an open and honest robbery. There has never been such a shameless emperor in the world since ancient times, just him.”
The tone was very angry, but there was a kind of intimacy in the words, just like an ordinary loving couple.
In fact, the emperor also said that if someone else wanted to sell it, he wouldn't want so much silver. He would just ask for eighteen thousand taels of silver if he wanted to. But Chu Yu was rich and wealthy, so if he didn't take the opportunity to blackmail her for a large sum of money, he wouldn't. Sell.
Chu Cong was so angry that he glared at him fiercely. He couldn't help but raise his fist and hit his chest a few times. However, he laughed, held her fist, turned her over, and pressed her down. , saying, "Xian'er, you are my wife, you are not allowed to protect Chu Yu, you have to protect me."
Then, he pressed Chu Cong hard again and again, letting her know that he was her husband, her heaven, her earth, and her everything.
Of course, Chu Cong was embarrassed to tell Xia Zihan the arrogant words the emperor said, because the emperor took advantage of others' danger and carried out blackmail. She herself felt ashamed for the emperor and had no shame to speak out.
But the emperor said confidently, "In the entire Dasheng Kingdom, Chu Yu has the most money. She has opened so many shops, large and small, across the country, and has so many manors. How much money can she earn in a year? She is afraid of gold and silver." I can’t even pile it up, I’m just taking care of her worries and spending some money for her.”
Look, this face is so thick that it makes people speechless.
Xia Zihan chuckled, "He really wants a hundred thousand taels."
She had already guessed that the emperor would give her a big blow, but unexpectedly, it exceeded her expectations.
"It's just a piece of land. Although the land is a bit bigger, it's not worth one hundred thousand taels." Not to mention one hundred thousand taels, if we really talk about the value, I'm afraid even ten thousand taels are expensive.
There is only a forest and a Chenghuang Temple in an open space, and there is nothing valuable. The emperor has the nerve to say so much.
"Master, how about I try to persuade him again in the next few days?" Chu Cong said.
The emperor was so shameless, which completely broke the bottom line of her understanding of him. However, for some reason, not only did she not dislike him, she also thought he was cute.
You know, the emperor is probably the only person in the world who wants to take advantage of her master.
"No need. Since he told you this number, he wanted to tell me through your mouth. Moreover, since he told me through your mouth, he also told me that this price is not negotiable."
Otherwise, the emperor would have lowered the price when Chu Cong blew the pillow wind.
Now, she was the only one thinking about whether it was worth spending one hundred thousand taels to buy that piece of land.
That piece of land is indeed very large. There is a forest behind the City God's Temple. If the forest is cleared out, there will be more than 200 acres of land, enough for her to build hundreds of small houses. Then, at least the nearly dozens of In the year, she and everyone under Chu Jingqi's name had a place to live.
