"My family has grown up, haha."

Liu Rengui touched Liu Mian's head and smiled and said, "I know I'm making money to support my family."

"Grandpa, I'm not a child anymore, don't always touch my head." Liu Mian said, "It's so embarrassing to see it."

"Okay, grandpa won't touch your head." Liu Rengui smiled lovingly and said, "But grandpa has done what you want to do for you."

Liu Mian was stunned for a moment when he heard this and asked, "Grandpa, what do you mean?"

Liu Rengui said with a straight face: "Grandpa has asked Afu to buy the entire Nanqu of Pingkangfang."

"What?" Liu Mian was overjoyed when he heard this, "Grandpa, have you asked Afu Gong to buy the entire Nanqu?"

Before Liu Mian finished speaking, the old butler Liu Fu walked in panting and said with a breath: "Alang, oh, Ah Mian's little husband is here too."

He also told Liu Rengui: "Alang, we were fooled."

"Afu, please speak slowly, the sky will not fall." Liu Rengui waved his hand and said, "Does the families in Nanqu of Pingkangfang refuse to sell their houses?"

"No." Liu Fu said, "It was bought by someone."

"What?" Liu Mian shouted, "Is it bought?"

"Yes, they were all bought." Liu Fu nodded, "more than 100 houses in the entire northeast corner were bought."

"Who is it?" A glimmer suddenly burst out in Liu Rengui's turbid old eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "How dare you buy a corner of the northeast of Pingkangfang in front of our Liu family?"

Liu Fu said: "It's Yang Liu!"

"Yang Liu?" Liu Rengui was stunned when he heard this.

After a while, Liu Rengui reacted.

He said in a deep voice: "So we were just being put on by Pei Shaoqing?"

"Yes." Liu Fu said with a dark face, "We became a knife in Pei Shaoqing's hand and helped Pei Shaoqing buy the entire land in the northeast corner of Pingkangfang and more than 100 houses at an extremely low price."

"Haha." Liu Rengui suddenly laughed, "This is really a geese that is always beaten. When it comes, it is pecked at the eyes by the geese."

"Grandpa!" Liu Mian suddenly became anxious and said, "What should I do? I have already praised Haikou in front of my classmates. If this matter is broken, wouldn't I lose all my face?"

"Amian is a little calmer." Liu Rengui waved his hand.

After saying that, he said to the old butler Liu Fu: "Afu, if you can't buy it in the northeast corner, you can buy it in the southwest corner or the other two corners. Our Liu family has settled on this muddy water in Pingkangfang."

"Alang, the news of Pingkangfang lifting the ban has spread." Liu Fu said.

Pingkangfang is a prime location in the entire Chang'an City, and it is not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land is worth every inch of money.

Under normal circumstances, even a million coins may not be able to buy a corner of land. This time, Yang Liu was able to buy the northeast corner in one fell swoop, which was a coincidence that there would be no such good things in the future.

"Yes." Liu Rengui's brows were immediately frowned.

Although the Liu family is rich, it is not as rich as that they can easily buy Pingkangfang.

"Grandpa." Liu Mian stopped agreeing and said anxiously, "You just agreed to me."

"Amian." Liu Rengui sighed lightly and said, "This matter was a matter of Grandpa who was wronged and accidentally touched Pei Shaoqing's words. Since the matter has come to this point, why not give up, Ang."

"No." Liu Mian refused, "When did our Liu family suffer such a big loss? You must not just forget about this matter. Grandpa, you are the prime minister and you need to be decent, but your grandson is just a small student in the Imperial College, but you don't need to take into account any decency. Your grandson will have his own arguments for this matter."

After saying that, Liu Mian left.

Liu Fu said worriedly: "Alang, do you want it..."

"No need." Liu Rengui waved his hand and said, "But it's just a child's words, don't pay attention to it."

After a pause, Liu Rengui said again: "There is something. I wonder what you think of Afu?"

"A Lang asked about the rumors?" Liu Fu said, "It is said that the queen intends to transfer ownership of Yantian and Yanjing to various aristocratic families? The premise is to support the opening of China and France?"

"That's right." Liu Renguidao, "How credible do you think this rumor is?"

Liu Fu said: "As the saying goes, no wind will come from the hole. Lao Nu thinks this is the sound of the wind released by the queen."

Liu Rengui frowned slightly and said, "If this is really the sound of the queen's voice, what do you think her intention is?"

"This move is nothing more than to disrupt the interests of the noble families." Liu Fu said, "but the old slave thought the queen would probably not be able to do what she wanted."

"not necessarily."

Liu Rengui shook his head and said, "It is important to know that people's hearts are greedy."

Liu Fu looked stern and said, "Alang, when you say this, I suddenly feel that this matter is really a bit tricky."

"Yes." Liu Rengui said with no worries, "The reason why those aristocratic families formed an alliance is just to control salt profits. If the queen admits their control over the salt industry, then what's the harm in supporting China and France? After all, the aristocratic families that control the salt industry will not make less money. As for the people who can afford to eat salt, what does it have to do with them?"

"Yes." Liu Fushen said with deep agreement, "This is an open conspiracy and there is no way to solve it."

"But, this is just a guess after all." Liu Renguidao, "Let's see."

"That's right." Liu Fu nodded, "Look, it's not our Liu family anyway."

Liu Rengui frowned slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.

...

Wubenfang, Tianranju.

Most of the Nanyuwubenfang has been requisitioned by the Imperial College.

Only a dozen taverns including Tianranju can be retained.

After all, teachers and students of the Imperial College also have to socialize? They can’t always go to Pingkangfang.

"Go away, get away." Liu Mian was in a bad mood, so he blew his anger on Hu Ji who was drinking. Hu Ji was so scared that she was at a loss and stood there at a loss.

"Girl, go ahead."

Xue Shao smiled gently at the beard.

The Hu Ji continued to thank him for her.

Several other beards who were accompanying the drink also went downstairs one after another.

"Hateful!" Liu Mian slapped the wine bottle on the table and said angrily, "I actually let Pei Shaoqing take the lead and buy the entire northeast corner of Pingkangfang!"

Cui Yanzhi, Cui Youzhi, Pei Youzhi and others also sighed regretfully.

"Xue Qi!" Liu Mian turned his gaze to Xue Shao again and said with a dark face, "What do you have to say now?"

"How can you blame my brother for this?" Xue Shiqiniang, who was sitting at Liu Mian's lower throne, snorted, "Your grandpa is the current prime minister, aren't you fooled?"

Speaking of this, Liu Mian became more and more depressed.

Xue Shiqi Niang said again, "You are still men, you are helpless in such a small matter."

"Seventeenth Lady, what do you mean?" Liu Mian said with a look of expression, "Can you have any solutions?"
