My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 68: Seizing the Opportunity to Pursue the Victory (Thanks to Brother Maoxian for the 200 starting coins reward, plus one more chapter)
"Forget it, forget it. My dear brother, you can buy land in Jiuyuan County because you have a connection with the officialdom of Jiuyuan County. And my dear brother and I are old friends. How can I not share more of the burden for my dear brother? At most, I will sacrifice my reputation and help my dear brother buy the land he likes at the most favorable price!"

Huang Huan frowned and said with an extremely embarrassed look.

"I will lower the price of dredging to 2,000 coins per mu for you, and I will also process the land for you at the price of 300 coins!"

Huang Huan's expression wasn't entirely an act.

When the price is discussed at this point, the proportion he can get is already very small. For a corrupt official who has done what he has done, even if he does not get the money, it is still a huge loss in his eyes.

However, in the eyes of Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian and others, this scene was already a huge victory for Lu Yi, and they all admired him very much.

Zhang Xin was even more dumbfounded as he watched this scene. In his life, he had never had more than ten thousand coins in his hands. Lu Yi had bargained down the price of these fertile lands from nearly ten thousand coins at the beginning to twenty-three hundred coins. The price of just one acre of land was a huge sum that he could never earn in his entire life, but Lu Yi still looked nonchalant. It was really eye-opening for him.

What no one expected was that Lu Yi was still dissatisfied with Huang Huan's price and continued to wave the invisible Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand.

"Although this price is already extremely low, it is still beyond my budget. To be honest, Brother Huang, I am in business with Zhang from Mayi. Zhang has been operating in Mayi for hundreds of years and has connections everywhere. Although the price I get from Zhang is not much cheaper than what Brother Huang paid, Mayi is undoubtedly much richer and more populated than the desolate Jiuyuan. It will be easier for me to recruit people to open up the land!"

"It's so cold, but I'm deeply touched that Brother Huang is willing to accompany me out to enjoy the cool breeze. Now that Brother Huang is so worried about me, I feel ashamed. The one million yuan you gave me last night is just a token of my appreciation, so you don't have to return it. I'll go to Mayi to buy some land and build a fort."

Lu Yi was so shrewd. Although Huang Huan’s acting skills were good, he still revealed a flaw in front of him.

Just by taking advantage of this slight flaw, Lu Yi immediately realized that this was still not the bottom price in Huang Huan's mind. So after bowing to Huang Huan with an apologetic fist, he turned his horses around with Lu Bu and others and pretended to regret, trying to play hard to get.

"Wait a minute, my dear brother! Wait a minute, my dear brother!"

But Huang Huan was not willing to let go of Lu Yi, the cash cow that had come to his doorstep. He quickly jumped off his horse and, regardless of his status, stepped forward and grabbed the reins of Lu Yi's mount.

No matter what Lu Yi does when buying land, he can still get a lot of profits for himself.

The less the better. If Lu Yi really turns around and goes to Mayi, then everything will be in vain.

Therefore, from the very beginning of this war without the smoke of gunpowder, Lu Yi was invincible.

"Brother Huang, is there anything else?" Lu Yi smiled smugly in his heart, but his face remained expressionless, pretending to be a good boy.

"As long as you are willing to buy land and property in Jiuyuan, then everything can be discussed..."

……

After several rounds of confrontation, Lu Yi successfully broke through Huang Huan's mental strength and won the final victory at an incredibly low price.

The two parties agreed that Lu Yi only had to pay 900 coins per mu for operating expenses, and then purchase the inferior land at the lowest price of 100 coins per mu.

"Being able to buy undeveloped prime land at a price of one thousand coins per mu without any worries is already a very good price. Even if there is room for further reduction, it is estimated to be very small. There will be many opportunities to deal with Huang Huan and the officials of Jiuyuan County in the future. Let's let him go for now."

Lu Yi got a satisfactory result and couldn't help showing a happy smile on his face. But Huang Huan on the side had a frustrated look on his face. In this early spring with a howling cold wind, he was sweating profusely and his back was soaked.

Lu Yi wanted to buy fifty hectares of land, which cost more than five thousand!

When Lu Yi cut off one penny, he lost a full five thousand pennies in income.

And what Lu Yi cut off was more than just one or two coins.
That was simply like a dragon-slaying sword that cut into Huang Huan's heart again and again!

Moreover, the fixed amount of money to be given to the prefecture and county must be deducted from this price. As for the remaining part, not to mention that even the entire Jiuyuan County officialdom could not make much money from Lu Yi, if it were not for the fact that the sale of 50 hectares of land was also a political achievement, and Lu Yi's one million bribe last night, he would never have done such a loss-making deal.

Not to mention the frustration in Huang Huan's heart, this exciting confrontation looked completely different in the eyes of Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian and Zhang Xin.

"My brother is so awesome!" Lu Bu showed a smug smile on his face.

"Brother Lu Yi is indeed far more than an ordinary person!" Gao Shun also smiled.

"It turns out that I, Cheng Lian, did not follow the wrong person!" Cheng Lian's face was even more excited.

"Damn, what kind of monster is this Lu Yi? He is simply a born profiteer. I have to admit defeat! I, Old Zhang, am finally convinced! No wonder I have never made a name for myself. It seems that I am too kind-hearted!" Only Zhang Xin, who has not yet entered the core of Lu Yi, was once again amazed by him and refreshed his worldview.

"It's just that I'm still a little short of payment for the goods. Can I wait a month before going to the county government to trade?" Lu Yi asked again.

"Of course you can..." Huang Huan looked tired.

"However, in addition to this river bend that I plan to buy to build a house, I, Lu, also plan to purchase some farmland nearby for reclamation. Can you still keep this price? The person in charge of clerkship in Huang County also knows that grain is getting more expensive every year, and it is becoming less and less cost-effective to just purchase it." However, Lu Yi did not let him go, but continued to pursue the victory.

"Of course it's possible..." Huang Huan said in a lonely tone. A gust of cold wind blew, and he couldn't help shivering as he was soaked all over.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble County Magistrate Huang!" Lu Yi smiled upon hearing that.

"Haha, as the magistrate of Jiuyuan County, I naturally have to benefit the people. My dear brother is the most outstanding hero and businessman in Jiuyuan County. Naturally, I and the county magistrate will take good care of you and support you." Huang Huan could only smile bitterly.

"Since the matter has been settled, how about I treat Brother Huang to a few drinks?" Lu Yi said with a smile.

"I appreciate your kindness, my dear brother. But I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home, so I will not stay any longer. Please do as you please." Huang Huan was not only cold physically, but also in his heart. His biggest wish now was to get rid of Lu Yi, the profiteer, and go home to take a hot bath to relax. Today's trip was even more exhausting than sitting in the yamen for a month.
