Chapter 32 New Home

Wude's words awakened Tang Bohu. He really had no power. Compared with those old people in the capital, he was really not enough to see a newcomer. A few miles ahead was the capital. Tang Bohu asked the convoy to stop and said to his father: "Dad, we won't live in the capital! Find a place to stay outside the capital."

Hearing his son's words, Tang Guangde didn't ask too much, just said, "You already have a wife and an official position, so you don't have to discuss everything with your father."

Wude said to Tang Bohu: "I have a place for the donor of Tang to stay."

Hearing his words, Tang Bohu looked at him in confusion, "Where is it!"

"Come with me." Wude took Tang Bohu away from the official road and walked eastward to a small village. "What I said is here. This is the village that was originally a village house. Because the whole village house moved out of the capital, he sold this land to the official house."

"In other words, this farm is now owned by the public?" Tang Bohu said to the fields in the farm and the farmers' houses.

"Yes!" Wude continued, holding the Buddhist beads, "If Donor Tang wants to buy this farm, I can recommend the local county magistrate to you and sell this land to you. Although this place is close to the capital, it is also very hidden and will not attract too many people's attention. It is a good place for Donor Tang to display his own power."

"You seem to be very familiar with the capital." Tang Bohu looked at Wude, and the monk had an intriguing smile on his face. Moreover, since he met this monk, Tang Bohu had a very strange feeling. This guy was waiting on the official road to persuade him not to move into the capital, and also introduced him to this manor. What's more coincidental is that the monk is very familiar with the local county magistrate. The coincidence is often too much, so it's not a coincidence.

Wude seemed to have seen through Tang Bohu's thoughts and continued: "I know Donor Tang's doubts, but please believe that everything I do is help you."

Looking at the manor, Tang Bohu continued: "Although I don't know whether you are kind or malicious, there is one thing you are right. I am just a small Jinyiwei household, without power or power. If there is a problem, it is very likely that my family will suffer."

"Amitabha, donor, you have realized it!" Wude said very piously.

"This village is good. It is a mountain that faces north and south, and is not far from the capital. It is very good. If there is any change, you can advance or retreat! I want this village!" Tang Bohu continued: "But I want to know what you mean by giving me this advice and what benefits you can get."

"Donor Tang, you are very smart. Naturally, I can't hide my thoughts from the donor's eyes, but I am on the side of Donor Tang, I am not your enemy!" Wude replied.

Tang Bohu walked into this manor, and the scene was very big for hundreds of Jinyiwei with knives! The farmers who were originally working looked at each other and saw so many Jinyiwei, an old lady, hurried over with a cane, "What's wrong with this official, come to our farm?"

Tang Bohu helped him up and was about to bow, saying, "I want to buy your manor and want to stay here."

"Oh!" The old village chief stared at the head and gathered in front of Tang Bohu one by one. Wude brought the county magistrate. The monk invited the county magistrate to the place? He was just a monk? Tang Bohu once again had doubts about Wude's identity.

"You are the one hundred households who want to buy a farm?" The county magistrate looked at Tang Bohu and said again: "The whole farm covers an area of ​​80 hectares and 60 farmers! If you want to buy a signature and seal, you will pay 200 taels of silver!"

Two hundred taels, the current land price is not very expensive! Tang Bohu nodded and handed over the money, signed and sealed! After the procedures that should have been completed, the county magistrate collected the money and left piaomiao.

"Sir, the villagers are all here." Tian San whispered beside Tang Bohu.

"Okay!" Tang Bohu nodded and shouted to the villagers: "From now on, I am the owner of your farm. I'll ask you! How did the government collect rent from you tenants in the past?"

The old minister stepped forward and said, "Sir, the government used to draw four in ten!"

The villagers were very nervous when facing the new owner. The government was under great pressure to get ten or four out of ten, but they could barely make a living. What if the new owner collected more rent?

Tang Bohu said, "The government draws four in ten, so now I only draw one in ten!"

Ten draws one! The merchants collected less than the official family, which was something they did not expect. Although the new owner met for the first time, there was no difference between the fields and free farming under the premise of ten draws one.

Everyone said in unison: "Thank you, the owner of the manor."

Although he said this, the villagers were still wary of the new owner. Tang Bohu looked at them and had to say that his people-friendly behavior was very poor.

"Donor Tang." Wude interrupted Tang Bohu's thoughts and said, "I have something to do next, please help me."

"Tell me!" Tang Bohu nodded and agreed.

Wude took the lead in walking ahead, "Donor Tang follows me."

Leaving Zhuangzi to his parents to take care of, Tang Bohu followed Wude out of Zhuangzi and came out of the woodland, and then the one that caught his eye was a dilapidated thatched house.

"Is it here?" Tang Bohu asked.

Wude pushed open the door of the house, and what caught his eye was a group of ragged little beggars

"Wude!" A large group of children came up after Wude's friend, and surrounded Wude's side and said, "Why did you come back?"

"Have you eaten up the food I left for you last time?"

"Well. I just finished eating yesterday!" A child stood up and said, looking at the person beside Wude and said, "Who is this person?"

"He is my friend!" Wude explained, "He will take care of you for me in the future. I will do something and go out for a long time. You must listen to this brother these days."

When Tang Bohu saw these skinny orphans, he was moved, "What's wrong with this child?"

"They are all orphans," Wude said: "I also found them by chance. I have been giving them food to take care of them over the years."

"Donor Tang, as long as you can take these children in, I will give those boxes of silver to you." Wude said to Tang Bohu frankly.

"Even if there are no money, I will take care of these children." Tang Bohu said: "You don't have to be so profitable as I think.

"It is a blessing for me to know you." Wude said piously: "Although Donor Tang seems to be profit-oriented and is very ruthless and decisive in doing things, I can see that you are a good person, a real good person."
