Chapter 133 Getting rich

The weather was getting hotter, and Deng Qianqiu, wearing a short shirt and fanning himself, began to take a break from his busy schedule.

The weather was hot and Deng Qianqiu just wanted to be lazy. He even began to miss the days when he was guarding the gate of Xianliang Temple.

His only pleasure now was to go to the classroom and watch the three princes, each of them with their arms folded, like Buddha statues, motionless.

Poor Shen Zhiye was surrounded by three people. He held the book in his hands and did not dare to stop for a moment, reading aloud desperately.

"What are you doing? You can't recite it after reading it four times. You said it word for word. Damn it, if you continue like this, I will kill you and go back to your Shen family. I will kill everyone in your family, young and old." Zhu Di looked ferocious, like a killing god.

Deng Qianqiu stood outside the window and saw Zhu Di's face. Then he looked at Zhu Gang and felt that he looked handsome.

Zhu Su came up and brought a bowl of medicine: "This medicine can refresh your mind, Junior Brother Shen, don't be afraid, my third brother is just joking. Come, take my medicine, and you can study well."

Shen Zhiye was trembling. He looked at Zhu Di and felt his hair stand on end. Although he felt that Zhu Di was only threatening him, he also knew that if he really provoked him, this guy would really dare to take action.

As for Zhu Su, he couldn't help feeling uneasy when he saw the yellow soup that Zhu Su brought.

Zhu Gang stepped forward and said, "Okay, okay, let him study with peace of mind! How can our Junior Brother Shen study if you keep talking nonsense? Didn't our Master say? Don't be rude! We are brothers, this is fate!"

"Junior Brother Shen, you must study hard. If you can't recite today's passage, you won't be able to sleep tonight. Look at us, we have already finished our homework, but you are the only one dragging your feet. If this gets out, people will think that we, the Chunhe Palace University, are misleading our students."

Shen Zhiye was not a good person since he was young. After all, he was born in a rich family and lived a life of luxury. He had never suffered any hardship. This time, his grandfather asked him to study, but he just wanted to build a relationship with him. He never thought that he would actually come to study.

He never paid attention to studying since he was young and was used to being lazy. As the grandson of the richest man in Jiangnan, who doesn't know this?
Until today, he met someone even more ruthless.

As he thought about it, Shen Zhiye's eyes suddenly turned red: "I... I miss Grandpa..."

Zhu Di was furious. He turned around and moved the small table behind him. He lifted it up like a king lifting a tripod, intending to commit murder.

Shen Zhiye was so scared that his face turned green.

Zhu Gang and Zhu Su hurriedly stopped Zhu Di. Zhu Gang said, "Fourth brother, just use the horsewhip to beat him. If you hit him on the head with this thing like this, it will kill him."

Zhu Di shouted angrily, "I was beaten like this by my father when I was young, but I didn't die! Don't try to stop me. I am cleaning up the mess for my teacher. There is no such good-for-nothing in our Chunhe Palace University who doesn't like to study."

Shen Zhiye shrank his neck and said with a trembling body: "I... I study... study..."

He picked up the book like crazy and read aloud.

"Humph!" Zhu Di snorted coldly: "It's really unreasonable. You have to make me angry. What I hate most in my life is people who don't like to study!"

Deng Qianqiu, who was hiding outside the window and secretly observing, was startled.

It's just... too brutal.

The person who invented commission is really a genius!

Now it’s settled. Now there’s someone watching Shen Zhiye even when he goes to the toilet, so it’s hard for him not to become a talented person.

Deng Qianqiu was secretly relieved. The Shen family gave him so much money, he must be worthy of them and not take the money and do nothing.

Deng Qianqiu tiptoed away, but at this moment, Wen Yuanji ran up to him excitedly and said, "Captain, Captain, Marquis Ji'an and Marquis Pingyuan are here to visit. They said they are brothers with the captain, and I have arranged for them to stay in the small hall."

The last time Wen Yuanji heard that Hu Weiyong was coming to visit, Deng Qianqiu actually drove him away, and he was so angry that he jumped up and down.

It was too impolite of Qianhu to do this. People would vent their anger on our Qianhu Office, so this time he learned his lesson. When he heard that another distinguished person was coming to visit, he took the initiative to arrange for the person to have tea in the hall before coming to report.

Deng Qianqiu was very surprised. Didn't they let Hu Weiyong go? What was wrong with Hu Weiyong and his remaining followers that they still came here?
The face of the man named Hu is thicker than the city wall.

……

In the small hall, Lu Zhongheng and Fei Ju sat leisurely. They took a sip of tea and looked around the small hall.

"Why hasn't Deng Qianqiu come yet..."

"Well, don't complain. You know his temper."

Fei Ju came closer to Lawrence Lu: “Brother Lu, this land…are you really going to give it to him? This is all fertile land…give it to him…”

Lawrence Lu’s eyes flickered, and he took a deep breath and said, “I have a plan, you just listen, we’ll talk about it later.”

Fei Ju seemed to understand something and said immediately, "Very good."

At this time, Deng Qianqiu came in and asked with a smile, "Why are you here, brother?"

The corner of Lawrence Lu's mouth twitched quickly, and then he said with a fake smile: "Brother Deng, you got promoted, and I haven't come to congratulate you yet."

Deng Qianqiu said: "What is there to celebrate? We are all serving His Majesty, and our official positions are all the same, regardless of size."

After hearing this, Lu Zhongheng was shocked and couldn't help cursing in his heart: "I thought this bastard was unkind at first, but who knew he was actually a master here? No wonder the emperor trusts him more and more." "Hahaha..." Lu Zhongheng laughed and said, "Brother Deng, what are you talking about? It's only been a few days since we last met, how come we are so estranged? To tell you the truth, this time, we are here to give gifts."

When Deng Qianqiu heard about the gift, he was not interested at all. Damn, where is my Hu Ji?

Seeing Deng Qianqiu's indifference, Lawrence Lu became attentive and said, "Brother Deng, to be honest, we are here to give you a great gift. How about giving you a thousand acres of fertile land?"

Deng Qianqiu felt amused: "Not interested."

At this time, Lu Zhongheng became anxious instead. He took out a map from his pocket and said, "Brother Deng, look, it's right here... This piece of land next to Qixia Mountain covers a large area... Haha..."

Fei Ju stood aside, his eyelids began to twitch, and he was subconsciously shocked.

What Mr. Hu wants to give is a thousand hectares of fertile land, which ordinary people cannot buy.

The land that Lu Zhongheng mentioned was next to Mount Qixia. He immediately understood. He had heard of that piece of land. In fact, when the Lu family was conferred the title, His Majesty had allocated a farm to him. However, Lu Zhongheng thought it was too small. His Majesty was furious and thought that Lu Zhongheng was greedy.

So with a stroke of the pen, a large piece of land was given, but... it was near Qixia Mountain, a barren land full of stones, and no crops could grow.

In addition, after the war, the city of Nanjing was already desolate. Although it was very close to Nanjing, unfortunately there were not many people there.

Lawrence Lu said enthusiastically: “Brother Deng, this land is very large, look, look carefully…”

Deng Qianqiu only glanced at it, and suddenly his expression changed slightly, and then he pretended to be calm and said: "Which piece are you talking about?"

Lawrence Lu pointed his finger: "Here, and here..."

He looked up at Deng Qianqiu carefully, fearing that Deng Qianqiu would not agree.

Deng Qianqiu's mind suddenly moved: "Is that so? This land is not small. Mr. Hu is so generous."

Lu Zhongheng and Fei Ju wanted to laugh in their hearts. If you, Deng Qianqiu, knew that it was a barren forest, you would not say such things.

Deng Qianqiu said with some reluctance: "Okay, then I'll do it with reluctance. I want this land... I want it. You can thank Mr. Hu later."

"Okay, okay, I'll have someone bring the land deed tomorrow." After saying this, Lu Zhongheng smiled happily and nodded at Fei Ju. Then he said to Deng Qianqiu, "Brother Fei and I have something else to do. I won't bother you today. Goodbye, goodbye."

The two of them said goodbye in a hurry and left the Qianhu Office. Fei Ju couldn't wait to say, "Brother Lu, if that bastard Deng Qianqiu really went to see that damn place, he would know that it is worthless and would definitely make a scene."

Lawrence Lu smiled and said, "Don't worry, he won't make a fuss. How can he go around talking nonsense about such things? Later, we will go back to find Mr. Hu and tell him that Deng Qianqiu has agreed, but... Deng Qianqiu said he couldn't come forward to hand over the land deed, so he asked one of his relatives to hand over the land deed... Later, I will hand over the land to Deng Qianqiu... This way, there will be no mistakes."

Fei Ju's eyes sparkled, and he couldn't help but ask, "This land...what should we say?"

"Seven to three points." Lu Zhongheng said, "You just stood there and stared, but I lost a large piece of land."

Fei Ju couldn't help but grumble in his heart, seeming a little dissatisfied, but he still agreed.

……

Deng Qianqiu found a map and then repeatedly located the exact location of the place according to the position Lu Zhongheng had just pointed out.

Lying on the desk, Deng Qianqiu thought for a long time and couldn't help talking to himself: "Is this guy crazy? Gold and silver mines... land... he gave it to me for free? Isn't this the famous silver, lead, zinc and gold mine in Nanjing?"

What's more, this place is so close to Nanjing City. Once the world gradually stabilizes, this place will have a unique location in the future. This is not just giving away land, this is simply giving away money.

Wuuuu, Hu Weiyong…he really is like that. I’m crying my ass off.

No, I will report it now.

Deng Qianqiu suddenly remembered something, and without saying a word, he picked up his pen, wrote a memorial, and ordered someone to send it out hurriedly.

……

"What?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Empress Ma in surprise and asked, "Jing'er is missing? Where could she have gone?"

"Your Majesty, I have already ordered people to look for her. She is not young, and this palace is so big, it may just take a while for her to be found. Your Majesty, don't worry."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and couldn't help but said, "Hey, it's time to find a good family for her."

He sat down with some worry, but at this moment, an eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, the thousand households of Chunhe Palace have something to report."

"Fetched."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the memorial, slowly opened it, looked down, and could not help complaining: "These people... they are said to be generous, but they actually gave such a large piece of land. They are said to be stingy, but they gave this barren land!"

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to remember something. He stared at the memorial with his eyes sharp and fell into deathly silence.
