Chapter 1751: Deliberately make things difficult
When he walked over, Jiang Ning proactively nodded to him first, and then he also nodded back.
"The prince is here, everyone, look at it." At this moment, someone saw Chu Xuanchen and his party approaching and said quickly.
And the workers who were carrying hoes and preparing to dig a pond here also came around curiously.
"The lower officials see the prince." Jiang Ning and Yu Wenxian hurriedly walked over and saluted Chu Xuanchen.
"No gift, a few adults, what is going on?" Chu Xuanchen looked behind, and saw a group of people standing on the ground.
They were headed by Zhang Shifan, and several people in gorgeous clothes and landlord dresses were following Zhang Shifan only consensually.
Behind them were domestic slaves holding weapons such as iron swords and iron rods.
Jiang Ning stepped forward and said hurriedly: "Master, according to your plan, we should dig a storage pond here. However, digging a pond here will occupy the fertile land of Lord Zhang and several other landlords, so the adults are not willing. ."
Zhang Shifan snorted coldly, "King Li, you came just right, not because the official did not want to. It's because you invaded the official's best fertile land. The official's ancestral grave is also on this fertile land. How can you let you Digging the ancestral grave of the official's family, wouldn't that official be an unfilial son?"
Other landlords also said, "Yes, Lord, our land is the most fertile land, but you have to occupy and dig the pond. That would be too wasteful."
"We don't know the purpose of digging this pond. If King Li is just a child's play, he will occupy the land we depend on for a living, then please forgive us for not agreeing!"
"His Royal Highness, you'd better change a place, these farmland is our wealth and life, we will not let you occupy it."
Yu Wenxian listened and hurriedly said, "Everyone, please listen to me. Above this farmland, there is the largest tributary of the Jiajiang River. We can only dig a pond here. This pond is a matter of life for everyone. It's safe, you can't change places casually."
"But you can't take our farmland without our consent!" said the landlord.
Chu Xuanchen glanced at everyone and suddenly said, "What is occupation? Didn't this king bid according to the market price?"
"A price? King Li, our land is the richest land in Jiangzhou. You only paid thirty taels of silver, so you want to buy one acre of our land. The official thinks you are similar to occupying it!" Zhang Shifan Leng Hummed.
"Why? For other land, the king gave 22 acres according to the market price. You gave thirty taels here, but you still don't think it is too small?" Chu Xuanchen said coldly.
Zhang Shifan squinted his eyes in disdain, "It's not that the official is too small, but that the price you gave is too low. The price of such a good land is very different from the bad one, and you can't buy it with more than a dozen silver. Are you giving this money to send us away as beggars?"
"The king will double, with sixty taels of silver, how about buying one acre of your land?" Chu Xuanchen said.
"Sixty taels?" When the landlords next to them heard it, they couldn't believe it and exclaimed.
His Royal Highness Li is too embarrassed, this place is obviously worth thirty taels, he actually wants to double it.
They really wanted to agree immediately, but seeing Zhang Shifan's cold eyes, they bowed their heads in fright and did not dare to speak.
Zhang Shifan snorted coldly, "King Li, do you think the official is someone who is short of money? Do you think you can buy the official by doubling it?"
