Zhao Ruiyang's heart sank, after a year of counterinsurgency war, the treasury was already empty, what to do for disaster relief at this time?
Xiao Yao saw that Zhao Ruiyang had state affairs to deal with, so she quickly and consciously stood up and said goodbye.
Zhao Ruiyang stretched his brows and said with a smile: "My sister must have something to say when she looks for me, what?"
Not going to say it?
” Xiao Yao said embarrassedly: "I can't hide anything from my eldest brother, my sister sees that my eldest brother has something important to deal with, and I am afraid of delaying my eldest brother's time, I am talking about private matters, so let's talk about it later." ” "It's okay, it's rare for my sister to find me, and my eldest brother naturally puts my sister's business first.
If you have something, you might as well say it directly. ” Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment, feeling that he needed silver for disaster relief, and he was here to buy land and send silver, maybe the eldest brother needed it.
So he said: "Big brother, I want to buy the land and Zhuangzi next to the waste king Zhao Ruitian and me."
I have already measured about five hundred acres of land, and at the market price of eight taels of silver per acre of land, a total of four thousand taels, plus this season's harvest and the grange, I will add two thousand taels, for a total of six thousand taels.
I wonder if my eldest brother will sell it to me?
” "So that's what happened?
My sister wants that piece of land for you, so why buy it?
It seems that my sister doesn't treat me as a big brother at all!
Zhao Ruiyang said with some dissatisfaction Xiao Yao hurriedly explained: "The eldest brother will always be the good eldest brother of the younger sister, but the younger sister has always been clear about public and private, if the eldest brother agrees to sell the land to the younger sister at the price that the younger sister said, the younger sister will be very grateful, if it is given to the younger sister, then the younger sister will not dare to accept it." ” "Why should my sister be like this?
With only 500 acres of land, it is the same if the eldest brother gives you a fief.
My sister not only has a life-saving grace for my eldest brother, but also a great contribution to helping me ascend the throne, and my eldest brother has always wanted to thank you, so you should think that this is a thank you gift from your eldest brother.
Zhao Ruiyang insisted on sending it Xiao Yao was afraid of making it like this, she would rather not buy this land than ask for this thank you gift in vain.
So he hurriedly said: "Didn't the eldest brother seal his sister princess, rewarded him with a lot of gold and silver property, and gave him two fiefs and a grange?"
You're already very good to your sister, who is not insatiable.
Besides, my sister is because she treats her eldest brother as her own, so she takes your world very seriously, and she doesn't want to do things that harm the public and private interests, so she only cares about taking advantage of herself and making her brother's court suffer.
Let the ministers say that the elder brother allows the younger sister to embezzle the domestic country, which is not good for the younger sister and the eldest brother.
Big brother, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your sister. ” "Alright, alright.
The eldest brother promised to sell it to you.
If you don't agree again, the eldest brother will trap you in injustice.
Tomorrow I will ask someone to send you the title deed, okay?
Zhao Ruiyang understands that Xiao Yao will not ask for money in vain if he does not collect money.
"Thank you, big brother!
My sister came to the palace to cook food for my eldest brother another day, thank you.
My sister won't delay your precious time, and my sister will leave and go back.
Xiao Yao stood up with a happy face and said Zhao Ruiyang did not stay because he still had to meet with officials in the affected areas.
Xiao Yao left happily.
At noon the next day, an official respectfully sent Zhao Ruitian's title deed and house deed over.
However, the official said that after careful inspection and assessment, they felt that the market price of the 500 mu of land was not worth that much, and the maximum was 6 taels of silver per mu, and the total harvest of Zhuangzi plus one season was 4,000 taels of silver. also said that the emperor agreed.
Xiao Yao knew that it was these subordinate officials who curried favor with the emperor and herself, so she had to pay four thousand taels of silver.
After sending off the officials, she decided to donate all the wheat of the 500 acres of land this season, except for the rent to the tenants, to the imperial court for disaster relief.
She still doesn't want to owe Zhao Ruiyang a favor.
