Zhu Qi picked up the tea in front of him from the table and took a sip. After putting it back on the table, he said unhurriedly: "That's true, but that's for others, not for those who have the ability."

Difficult question. I just told the emperor about your ability. The emperor said that talents should be placed where they are most needed. I said that you are capable of literary and military skills. If you are capable of writing to bring order to the world, if you are capable of military skills, you can set the world.

Secretary is the most suitable. So the emperor was very happy and approved it."

"To be honest, it is rare in the capital to be able to get the emperor's nod to arrange your duties. After all, the emperor only issues imperial edicts to officials above the fifth rank, and the rest are handed over to the staff for their disposal. Of course, the final decision

Appointments must be reported to the emperor for personal approval. But there are not many people like you who specifically report to the emperor to confirm the position. I am worried that you are not a Jinshi and this group of people will find faults, so I simply do it in one step and let the emperor decide. They officials

I’m really at a loss for words.”

Qiu Wuhen smiled happily and said, "You still have a way."

"Have you found a place to stay?"

Zhu Qi really knew him well. When Qiu Wuhen saw Zhu Qi asking him, he was not lying. Zhu Qi had probably inquired about his little family background, so he smiled and said: "No, I just arrived today. As soon as I settled down, I

When I come to your place, I have to say hello to you."

Zhu Qi hummed, thought for a moment and said: "Logically speaking, it is most suitable for you to live with me, but again, the gang of rabbits in the Inspectorate are watching me very closely. Which minister usually follows me?"

If you take the initiative to get closer, they will give you a discount. If you come to live in my house, your saliva will drown you, and of course I won't be able to run away. That would not be taking care of you but harming you, which will be detrimental to your future.

inappropriate."

"Forget it, I'm not good at swimming. The spittle will really drown me."

Zhu Qi laughed loudly and said: "Before you came, I had actually thought about it for you. Your Su family's house in Beijing was still very good. I don't know if my sister-in-law has mentioned it to you. I will buy it for you."

return."

Before he could finish speaking, Qiu Wuhen waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I can't ask for your money."

Zhu Qi smiled and said: "I knew you would refuse. I'm not giving it to you for free, I'm lending it to you."

"I don't want to lend it to me. Besides, if those officials find out, it will be even more unclear. This is irrefutable evidence."

Zhu Qi smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "That's true. I think the second option is fine."

"What is it?"

"There is a minister who has retired and returned to his hometown. His house is for sale. I will tell you to pay him in installments. Pay him back gradually for ten or eight years, so that you will not be so stressed."

"This is a good idea. Of course, people have to be willing. You can't bully others."

"Boss, do you think I look like a bully?"

"I just said this casually, where is his mansion? How big is it?"

"It's a bit remote in the courtyard, but it's still very big, especially with a huge garden. Moreover, there are no trees, no rockeries, and no pavilions in the garden. The ancestral hall has nothing. It's like an army training ground.

, don’t you think it’s funny?”

"Why is this?"

"Because the Minister of Civil Affairs is very fond of polo, he simply turned his back garden into a polo field. He usually invites friends to play polo there in his free time. You want the polo field to be big, so he turned it into a polo field.

The whole garden has been turned into a polo field."

Qiu Wuhen laughed, but he was very happy in his mind. If this was the case, it would be much easier. Didn't he want to engage in breeding? If he didn't have such a large piece of land, then breeding and planting would be no problem. The next step is

All it takes is to build a pig pen, chicken and duck pen, and a vegetable greenhouse, which is much more convenient to operate on the flat ground.

Qiu Wuhen was very happy and said, "How much does it cost? It's too expensive and I can't afford it."

"It doesn't matter, you can pay it back slowly. I had a preliminary chat with him. He owed me a favor and always wanted to pay it back, but I just didn't give him a chance, so he has been owed it for so many years. Now he wants to retire and pay it back.

Xiang, saying that if I don’t repay this favor to him, he will have to pay it back in the next life. I happened to think of your matter. He wants to sell the house again, and his family is extremely wealthy. He already has money at home, and he is a high-ranking official.

, and he also made a lot of money, so actually he doesn’t have to worry about money at all.”

"I told him that I have a poor brother who is going to Jincheng to be an official and has no place to live. I want to buy his house, but I can't pay so much money at once. Can I pay in installments? He said it without saying anything.

I agreed and said it would take any time, no problem. I said that when my brother comes, I will take him to see the house and if he is satisfied, we can discuss the price. He said no problem and we will definitely give him the best price, so

I'm just waiting for you to come. By the way, his whole family left the capital last month and went back to his hometown, leaving only the housekeeper. And the contract has been drawn up. You just need to sign it as soon as you agree."

Qiu Wuhen was overjoyed and said, "Then let's go see the house first."

Zhu Qi couldn't help but laugh and said: "I saw you before and you were not willing to do this or that. I thought you were not in a hurry and thought you were comfortable staying in the inn."

Qiu Wuhen heyed twice, and Zhu Qi stopped laughing at his eldest brother and quickly ordered people to go down and prepare.

This house is indeed not in the center of the capital, but relatively remote in the south city. Therefore, we can build a house with a large area and a large polo field.

When they arrived at the house, the housekeeper, the Minister of Rites, nodded and bowed and took them around the whole house.

Although this house cannot be said to be luxurious, it is still quite good. At least it is much better than the Xie family's house in Yunduan County, and our house is also much larger. This does not include the huge polo field at the back.

The house was bigger than the Xie family's house, which made Qiu Wuhen quite satisfied. It wasn't until they came to the back garden, which was actually the polo field, that Qiu Wuhen's eyes widened.

This entire land as big as a football field is enough to raise anything. There is also a pond in the corner of the back garden with some lotus flowers and the like. This pond can be used to raise fish.

Seeing this pond, Qiu Wuhen was even happier. He was very satisfied. He said to Zhu Qi: "That's it. I like it very much, but what's the price?"

Zhu Qi looked at the housekeeper. The housekeeper smiled and said, "Someone once offered this house fifty thousand taels of silver, but our master didn't sell it. But you are my friend and brother, and our master is very grateful to the prince, so he said before leaving,

Only thirty thousand taels."

Qiu Wuhen took a breath of cold air, although he believed that what this man said in front of the prince was definitely not adulterated. Thirty thousand taels of silver to buy such a large house is actually not an exaggeration, and the nearby

House prices should be very high. These people have all lived outside the city. There are so many people and they are under the emperor's feet. House prices cannot be cheap. Although it is not in the city center, it occupies such a large area and it is quite cost-effective for so much money.

Yes, it’s equivalent to half price.

Qiu Wuhen was worried that the medicine gourd in his mind would come out to interfere, but the medicine gourd seemed not to hear it and did not respond. As long as the medicine gourd did not interfere, Qiu Wuhen felt at ease. Thinking about thirty thousand taels, he would have to prepare it every year.

Three thousand taels of silver are used to pay off debts. It is absolutely not enough to rely on one's own salary. I am afraid that one has to really engage in breeding and planting to make a fortune. Otherwise, how can one have so much money to pay off debts? But there must be such a place.

The breeding industry can only be carried out in a house. Qiu Wuhen believes that according to his concept, it is completely possible to make money.

So Qiu Wuhen nodded in agreement, cupped his hands and said, "If that's the case, thank you very much."

When he arrived at the study, Qiu Wuhen directly picked up his pen and signed.

After he finished signing, Zhu Qicai smiled and said, "Congratulations, brother, this house belongs to you."

Qiu Wuhen asked again: "How to pay this money?"

The steward said: "Just leave it to me. I want to stay here to take care of some properties."

Qiu Wuhen nodded in agreement and asked him again: "Do you want to pay a deposit or something?"

"No, no, no, the master said, you can only start paying after living here for a year."

Qiu Wuhen thought that the prince must have mentioned such a good thing to others, but he was afraid that since he had just arrived and was short of money, he would not be able to come up with so much money to pay the deposit. So he waited a moment. Thinking of this, he felt even more sorry for this younger brother.

gratitude

It is actually written in the contract that the first installment will not be paid until this time next year, and the total payment is only one thousand taels of silver a year. If we develop the planting and breeding industry alone, we can make up enough every year.

The installment payment, not to mention that the venue here is so big, can be multiplied several times, so once you calculate it, there will be no problem.

After Qiu Wuhen felt confident, he signed.

After signing, I asked Li Zheng and the neighbor to also sign and pledge the signatures as security. Then the contract signing was completed, and the housekeeper took his leave and left.

Zhu Qi said: "You are now a seventh-rank official and have your own servants. A house as big as yours needs someone to take care of it. I will make arrangements for you. You need to find someone who is loyal and reliable. You don't want any of those who are sneaky and sneaky. This matter

I'll do it."

This is actually what Qiu Wuhen is most worried about. His family is full of female prostitutes. As long as he is running around outside, it is really difficult to do without reliable guards.

After the discussion was completed, Zhu Qi said: "You settle down at home today. I will take care of you another day and introduce you to a few friends. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you to have few friends in the capital."

Qiu Wuhen thanked her again.

After Zhu Qi gave all instructions, he left in his own carriage, leaving a horse for Qiu Wuhen. Qiu Wuhen was not polite and rode back to the inn where he was staying, telling the Su family the news.

A group of women. They were all surprised and happy. Su Jinsong was a little anxious and said to Qiu Wuhen privately: "Why didn't you ask the old lady what they meant? So I bought it on my own initiative, in case it was not suitable.

Woolen cloth?"

"Don't worry, it's definitely suitable. You'll know after you go see it first."

Immediately, they hired a car and rode all the way to Nancheng. As soon as they got off the carriage at the door, Grandma Su was shocked and said to Qiu Wuhen, "Is this the place you're talking about?"

"yes!"

"This house is very big."
