Zhao Teng got the news as soon as Wei Zhang entered Xianyang City, and then arranged for someone to send Wei Zhang to the post house.

During this process, Zhao Teng saw Wei Zhang's carriages and horses and countless servants. He couldn't help but was speechless.

After Wei Zhang was settled, Zhao Teng led his people out. On the way, he couldn't help but sigh: "This Wei Zhang is just a low-ranking figure among the powerful, but he actually shows up in such a big way?"

The steward next to him said with a smile: "The extravagant customs of the Six Kingdoms are very different from ours. Moreover, the laws of the Six Kingdoms are lax, and these powerful people are occupying acres of land and amassing wealth. Naturally, the ostentation is bigger."

While the two were talking about this, Wei Jia, Wei Zhang's housekeeper, ran out.

He saluted Zhao Teng and said with a flattering smile on his face: "I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Zhao today. Mr. Zhao has a high position and is so powerful that he actually welcomed my master in person. The master is very grateful. There were many Qin officials in the post house just now.

It's inconvenient to speak. My master will definitely come to visit you someday to say thank you. It's just a small gift, I hope Mr. Zhao won't find it objectionable."

After saying that, Wei Jia stuffed something into Zhao Teng's sleeve and hurried back.

Zhao Teng took out that thing and found that it was a piece of crystal clear jade. Just looking at the color and not the carving, he knew that this thing was priceless.

The steward said next to him: "It's just a meeting gift, but it's already so valuable. This Wei Zhang is really generous."

Zhao Teng nodded. He turned around and looked at the inn, and suddenly said leisurely: "Would such a wealthy person live in the inn?"

"The post house is quite spacious now, but in the future when the powerful powers from the six countries arrive one after another, it will definitely become crowded. A Wei abbot has to show off, but what about the others? Are they willing to be crowded here?"

"Huai Guzi, you are such a smart man. Sometimes I wonder if he is really an immortal banished from heaven? Otherwise, why would he have the upper hand?"

The housekeeper was still a little confused and asked doubtfully: "What do you mean, sir..."

Zhao Teng said: "In less than three days, Wei Zhang will definitely buy a house in Xianyang City. He does not like ordinary houses. And the big houses in the city are all in the hands of Huaiguzi."

The housekeeper's eyes widened: "Master Wei...are you willing to pay such a high price to buy Huaiguzi's mansion?"

Zhao Teng chuckled: "It's such a beautiful piece of jade as soon as it's sold. Why wouldn't he refuse? I've seen the luxury of the powerful six countries today."

The steward suddenly said: "Sir, Huaiguzi only has nearly a hundred mansions in his hands. The six powerful countries far exceed this number. We might as well take the opportunity to acquire a number of mansions. Since the mansions in the city are gone, we might as well acquire those outside the city.

At that time, I will also make a fortune."

Zhao Teng smiled and shook his head: "No. If the mystery is revealed in the future, the courtiers will think that I have colluded with Huaiguzi to do this together."

"Recently, many people in the city say that I am an accomplice of Huaiguzi. It's too late for me to avoid him. Please don't get involved in this matter."

The housekeeper said with some regret: "It's a pity, it's a pity. There is a golden mountain right in front of you, but you can't take it."

Zhao Teng chuckled and said: "Money is just a trivial matter. With my current status, if you want money, it's not a matter of just a word? If you lose this position for money, you won't be able to keep the money you get, then you will sacrifice the good for the last."

.”

The housekeeper nodded sincerely: "Your Majesty, I'm very pleased."

…………

Li Xin's mansion. Li Xin is not at home. Mrs. Li is chatting with Xin Ji.

These two people are known to be good sisters. But as soon as they meet, they start to compete with each other. They go back and forth with each other, and the fight is very lively.

Xinji just got some news today, so she excitedly told Mrs. Li.

Xin Ji said: "I heard that your Li Xin sold his house to Huaiguzi?"

Mrs. Li almost spit out blood. She was angry about this. She had asked the housekeeper to call Li Xin back. But Li Xin didn't know where he was hiding, and no one could be found at all.

However, Mrs. Li couldn't lose in front of her sisters. She smiled slightly and said, "I heard that your Zhou Zheng family also sold the house to Huaiguzi?"

Xinji said: "That's different. Our family, Zhou Zheng, originally had little contact with Huaiguzi, so he was tricked by him. It's different for you Li Xin. You hang out with him all day long, and you actually fell into trouble."

Alas, this locust millet is really easy to kill."

Mrs. Li was extremely angry, but she couldn't show it on her face. She said lightly, "My husband's business with Huaiguzi is different from other families. It seems like he sold the house, but in fact he made money back very quickly."

Xin Ji chuckled and asked, "How fast does it mean?"

Mrs. Li said calmly: "A month or two."

Xin Ji hummed and said, "In a month or two, you will be rich. By then, don't forget me."

Seeing her sarcastic remarks, Mrs. Li held her breath and said, "Okay, when I become rich, I will definitely pay you a visit."

Xinji saw that Mrs. Li was getting anxious, so she smiled slightly and left.

Mrs. Li was sulky for a while, called Li Jia over, and shouted: "Where is Li Xin? Haven't you found him yet?"

Li Jia laughed dryly and said: "We have searched all over Xianyang City, but we haven't found it yet."

Mrs. Li said angrily: "You still dare to lie to me? Li Xin is hiding in Shangjun Courtyard, is it difficult to find him? Go, go to Shangjun Courtyard and call him. Tell him that if he doesn't come back, he won't have to come back in the future.

Home."

Li Jia's scalp felt numb after hearing this, and he didn't want to go home.

…………

Li Xin was indeed in Shangjun's courtyard. He asked Li Shui, "Brother Huai, don't lie to me. Can you really make money like this?"

Li Shui said: "Is there any lie? Just wait. Within a month, I will make you as rich as anyone in the country."

Li Xin chuckled: "As long as you can be as rich as the country, that's all. As long as you can leave a family fortune to your children and grandchildren. In the future, if your children and grandchildren have skills, everything will be easy. If you don't have skills, you won't starve and suffer poverty."

Li Shui said: "Speaking of descendants, Brother Li, you are not young at all, don't you have a boy and a girl?"

Li Xin looked at Li Shui in confusion: "Don't you know? I have a son who is eighteen years old and is training in the Southern Army. I told you."

Li Shui patted his forehead, laughed dryly, and said, "I forgot about it for a while."

Li Xin didn't care either. He patted Li Shui on the shoulder and said, "Brother Huai, my fortune and life all depend on you."

Li Shui said: "Don't worry, if you really lose, I will help you raise your wife and children."

Li Xin shook his head and said, "Then there's no need."

Li Shui laughed heartily and said to Niu Dao and Cang Fu behind him: "Go quickly and help General Li buy back all the big houses outside Xianyang City."

Cano and the calf left happily.

Although the money is not theirs, and the house they bought is not theirs either. But the feeling of spending money is really refreshing...

After sending away Cang Fu and others, Li Shui began to write a memorial. After finishing it, he handed it to Li Xin: "Brother Li, please check it for me. Are there any typos?"

Li Xin looked at it for a while and said, "There are a few, but it doesn't affect the meaning."

Li Shui said: "That's fine."

He called Wu Jiao over and asked him to send the memorial to the palace immediately.

As a result, just after Wu Jiao left, Li Jia came. After seeing Li Xin, he told Mrs. Li's words with a look of embarrassment.

Li Xin sighed and said to Li Shui: "Brother Huai, it seems that Shang Jun's Courtyard is no longer safe."

Li Shui said: "It doesn't matter, haven't we bought a lot of houses recently? You can just hide wherever you want."

Li Xin said with a sad face: "That's not what I'm afraid of. I'm afraid that as time goes by, the more I wait, the madam will get angrier. Even if I go back with my wealth, it will be too late."

Li Shui looked at him sympathetically: "Then take care."

Li Xin rode his horse and left the Shangjun Courtyard three times with one step. When he arrived at the door of his house, he refused to go in, so he stood outside and said, "Go tell Madam that I'm back."

The porter immediately ran away.

After a while, Mrs. Li came out with a whip.

Li Xin seemed to have expected this, and said loudly: "Your Majesty summons me to the palace, I will come as soon as I go." Then, he flicked his whip and ran away.

"Haha, showing up like this every day can be regarded as a good deal." Li Xin smiled proudly, rode a horse around Xianyang City, and then left the city again.

…………

Ying Zheng had already seen Li Shui's memorial. After reading it for a while, he nodded slightly: "What Huai Guzi said makes sense. I'm sure."

The memorial says that there are too many dignitaries in Xianyang City. What these nobles like most is to build mansions. The mansions cover an extremely large area and include countless pavilions and pavilions.

In this case, how can we not invade the farmland in Guanzhong?

Agriculture is the foundation of the world. Therefore, Li Shui suggested that Ying Zheng immediately investigate the farmland near Xianyang and divide the land into cultivated land and residential land.

Based on this standard, existing cultivated land is not allowed to be encroached upon. If there are special circumstances to occupy cultivated land, it will also require approval from the court at all levels.

In this way, the cultivated land will be guaranteed, the food will be guaranteed, and the world will be stable.

This memorial was deeply touching and under the banner of caring for the people. Ying Zheng quickly agreed and ordered people to immediately start inspecting the farmland.

After the news came out, the civil and military officials in the court were a little surprised. Why did Li Shui suddenly care so much about the people of Li?

Their first reaction was that Li Shui had changed his ways and was finally converted.

But past experience tells them that it's not that simple. This guy Li Shui must be holding back his bad intentions.

However, the courtiers thought about it and did not think there was any harm in this policy. Ensuring the supply of farmland could indeed stabilize the world. After the initial doubts, the courtiers gradually began to believe that this time, Li Shui might really

Want to do something good.

Whether it is because of an uneasy conscience or because he is worried about being reviled by others, it is a good sign that he is willing to do good things.
