The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 412 It’s not easy for the village owner
The owner of the village, who had finally let go, suddenly felt nervous again. He moved his index finger slightly and said tentatively: "Your Highness, it's okay to just say it."

Gu Yuzhi glanced at Xie Changshi and imitated his example and cleared his throat: "That's right. I want to ask you if your method of making fine iron swords can be sold..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yuzhi heard a sound of gasping, especially from the owner of Tianquan Villa. His eyes were so wide that he almost fell to the ground, and his face was wrinkled into a big bun.

"Your Highness, this..."

This young highness was holding back a lot of energy since he first arrived, and his words were so straightforward that he really didn't know how to refuse.

He was really afraid that if he said he wouldn't sell it, His Highness would cry on the spot!

The owner of the village scratched his face anxiously, considered it again and again, and then whispered: "Your Highness, you have also seen that our Tianquan Villa has a lot of people. It is not easy to maintain everyone's life. This cast The method of the sword..."

Before he could speak, Gu Yuzhi nodded his head in agreement, "You're right! It's really expensive to raise so many people."

Just like at the beginning, if it weren't for the rewards from the imperial brother, he wouldn't even be able to afford the salaries of Xie Changshi and others.

When he thought of this, Gu Yuzhi sighed like a young adult: "It's not easy for the owner of the village!"

The owner of the village took another breath of cold air, his mouth trembled and he was speechless.

Xie Changshi, Zhang Weiwei and others' eyes widened.

Gu Yuzhi seemed to not understand the embarrassment of the village owner. He blinked his big eyes and continued with a smile: "Master, don't worry, just listen to me."

I used to think that His Highness King Wen was younger and would not have so many bad thoughts. He would definitely be easier to get along with than Gu Yufan. Who knew he might not be as good as Gu Yufan.

On the way here, Mr. Huo explained to him carefully that the lower the quality of the fine iron sword, the less iron ore is wasted, the process will be less complicated, and the finished product will naturally be faster.

The Lingnan navy is still stationed in the south of the Yangtze River. If His Highness comes with the navy to suppress them, then the hundreds of people in their villa will die without their bodies intact.

Gu Yuzhi's little head nodded again: "That's why I said, you can sell your recipe for making refined iron!"

The village owner's eyes widened and he was speechless for a long time.

Your Highness, this is different from what they said before!

At least Gu Yufan knew to be careful about appearances and would not take anything by force.

He wanted all the soldiers to use weapons made of fine iron, so the grade couldn't be too high. Otherwise, not to mention the circumference of the weapons, the iron ore would probably be emptied out!

Gu Yuzhi said with a smile: "I heard that you sold a sword for one thousand taels of gold before. Those high-end fine iron swords are so valuable, aren't they enough to support the people of your villa?"

"I heard that your fine iron swords are divided into grades. I don't want a particularly good one, just the lowest grade."

The owner's expression changed drastically. He thought about it for a long time, but he really didn't know how to refuse so as not to make His Highness hate them.

The owner of the village squinted his eyes and glanced at His Highness. Now he was even more unsure of His Highness's thoughts. He could only follow his words and said: "Yes. Hundreds of people in the entire Villa are counting on this method. Living a good life.”

Gu Yuzhi continued: "And the lowest-end prescription I want is not for me, but for the emperor's brother to be used by the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Sang Dynasty."

"When I give the recipe to Brother Huang, when Brother Huang is happy, he will definitely give you the title of Chivalrous and Righteous!"

Shopkeeper Wen said that these people in the world are like famous doctors who attach great importance to reputation. Sometimes patients would be happier if they gave them a plaque saying "The doctor is kind" or "The hanging pot saves the world" rather than giving money. So Gu Yuzhi thought that if the emperor gave the villa a plaque or something, the owner would be very happy.

Before the owner of the village could refuse, Gu Yuzhi said again: "Besides, I don't want your prescription for nothing. You can use the money from the house to buy some fertile land!"

Xie Changshi said that although the imperial brother would not kill all the people in the Jiangnan Navy, there would definitely be punishment, such as confiscation of their property, or direct slavery...

If this is the case, then the fertile land owned by these people will become ownerless again, and the yamen will find new buyers after calculating the statistics.

He secretly estimated that this recipe might be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, which would be enough to buy a lot of fertile land and could definitely support hundreds of people in Tianquan Villa.

Gu Yuzhi blinked his big eyes and looked at the village owner full of expectation.

From the beginning, he thought that the prescriptions for his livelihood would be taken away. Compared with now, he only takes the lowest-grade prescriptions and still has to pay. The owner's heart suddenly dropped again, and he also felt that acceptable!

As soon as this thought appeared, the village owner shook his head violently.

No, no, he is a member of the Jianghu, how can he sell the prescription to the court?
The emperor also handed over a plaque in his own hand. What did he want with that thing? Take it back and tell the heroes of the green forest that our Tianquan Villa has now become the property of the imperial court?

The owner of the village hesitated for a moment, but soon became firm again. After thinking about it again and again, he said: "Your Highness, the common people can use other ways to thank Your Highness for your great kindness. Fangzi..."

Before the owner of the village finished speaking, Xie Changshi suddenly stood up: "Master of the village, please take a step to speak."

The owner of the village recognized Xie Changshi, so he nodded and led Xie Changshi to the inner room. Soon he came out with a solemn expression, and whispered to his confidants, who then went out full of worries.

Gu Yuzhi looked at Xie Changshi and saw him nodding slightly. Gu Yuzhi couldn't help but grasp the armrest of the chair!

Xie Changshi is so awesome!

He was really curious about what Xie Changshi said!

The confidant came back soon, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and handed it to Xie Changshi respectfully.

Xie Changshi didn't open it either, but kept it in a box with great treasure.

Now that they had gotten what they wanted, Gu Yuzhi and others had no reason to stay here and quickly went down the mountain.

Gu Yuzhi led the pony to Xie Changshi, tilted his head and looked at him: "Xie Changshi, how did you convince the owner of the village?"

Time was short, and we didn’t spend much money, only five thousand taels of silver!
Xie Changshi stroked his beard and smiled: "It's very simple. I only said two sentences."

He raised his index finger: "1. The emperor has been afraid of Jianghu for a long time."

"Two, if I don't give it, this villa will never buy another half a pound of pig iron."

Iron mines are not jade mines. They are controlled by the imperial court. If the owner of the village refuses blindly, these recipes will become useless pieces of paper!
Gu Yuzhi's eyes widened and his little hands turned red: "Xie Changshi is so awesome!"

Why didn't he think of using iron ore to increase his negotiating leverage?
Gu Yuzhi was slightly annoyed because he was still too young...

Yesterday, the children suddenly wanted to eat steamed buns. Xiao Wu hurriedly made the dough and chopped the stuffing. After working for a long time, she was really tired and had no energy at all o(╥﹏╥)o
