Chapter 901 Transferring Islands

According to his clone, only his soul is powerful enough to erase it.

This is also one of the directions he will continue to work hard in the future. On the other hand, when he can erase this divine seal mark, it will prove that the strength of his divine soul can rival the gods.

It's very far away when you think about it.

Ding Zuodong looked at the maid beside him.

He Lingchuan understood, stood up and said to the maid beside him: "Go down, I'll call you if I need anything."

The maid responded softly, turned and left.

He Lingchuan did not stay in the courtyard. He took Ding Zuodong back to the monastery by himself, closed the doors and windows, and placed a barrier casually.

This is the territory of the Lu family, so be careful that the walls have ears.

He traveled in Beqa for several months and knew how many little monsters a garden could hide.

"Say it."

Only then did Ding Zuodong report the selling price of the Lu family.

He Lingchuan held his hands and laughed: "Okay, okay, okay!"

Seeing him beaming with joy, Ding Zuodong was not sure what the young master's state of mind was: "Master, the price is still a bit expensive."

"It's not just a bit expensive, it's simply ridiculously expensive!" He Lingchuan laughed in disgust, "The broken island that no one can use is being sold to me for a sky-high price of 150,000 taels! The Lu family really dares to open their mouths."

He then added: "But the Lu family is willing to sell the Yangshan Islands. This is the most valuable information!"

If someone really doesn't want to sell it, he may not be able to get it even if he pays a high price.

If the Lu family is determined to sell, then the deal can always be negotiated, and they are not afraid of tug-of-war.

Yes, the boss is still the smart boss. Ding Zuodong admired him: "Your judgment on Bailie is very accurate. The Lu family is really short of money."

He Lingchuan, a stupid young man with a lot of money, rushes to give away money. For the Lu family, isn't it just that someone gives him a pillow when he is sleepy?

Faced with this kind of conspiracy, even if they were suspicious, they didn't want their money to slip through their fingers.

Greed is always the sharpest weapon in the hands of the young master.

Ding Zuodong smiled and said: "The Lu family is probably afraid that the bid is too low, which will arouse our suspicion. That means the price is very high and can be slashed."

"Just say, the price I can accept for the six outer islands is 30,000 taels. If you give me all the Yangshan Islands, it will be 60,000. If it exceeds this amount, I don't want it. I don't have that much money. I would rather buy it elsewhere. Manor and real estate." He Lingchuan yawned, "There are many good places near Blade Port. If Bailie doesn't leave me, I can go to Qingguo?"

Ding Zuodong was also a smart man. He immediately understood what he meant and resigned immediately.

He Lingchuan conveniently gave him a basket, which contained several bottles of sweet-scented osmanthus and sour plum soup, several packages of the local specialty walnut cloud cake, and a bag of crispy broad beans.

There are still water drops hanging outside the silver bottle.

"Sending your family a break from the heat."

Ding Zuodong did not refuse, took it and said with a smile: "Thank you, boss!"

He Lingchuan returned to the garden and lay down on the rocking chair.

Oh, it's so comfortable.

The young maid sent by Lingtai Yuan came to serve him again, her watery eyes kept glancing at him.

Guests of Yunding Villa rarely see such handsome and handsome people.

He Lingchuan drank half a pot of sour plum drink in one breath, and then asked the maid: "Do you know about the Yangshan Islands?"

"I know." The maid held the pot and paused slightly before continuing to pour the juice. "It's the island opposite Blade Port."

"Have you been there?"

“I passed by by boat a few years ago and stayed on the island.”

"How's that place?"

"The beach is fine and white, and the sea water is clean." The maid thought for a moment, "There are just a lot of bugs."

"I heard that there are only a few buildings up there, what's going on?" He Lingchuan asked her intentionally, "Are the Bailie people leaving such a good island unused?"

"I don't know, maid. Maybe it's because the island is isolated overseas and difficult to manage?" The maid smiled, "After all, Blade Port is temporarily lent to Qingguo."

"I see."

He Lingchuan stopped asking and closed his eyes lazily.

The Lu family acted very quickly. In such a short time, all the servants in Lingtai Courtyard of Yunding Villa were on the same page.

No word about evil spirits, evil spirits, or pirates can be revealed to the buyers of the islands.

Yin evil and turbid qi is a very professional term, and neither the Lu family nor the Qing Kingdom has ever publicly explained it. What it is, most civilians in Bailie and Blade Port don't know.

They only know that the evil and turbid air exists in the depths of the archipelago, and people can easily get sick if they go in. Especially if they sleep on the island for a while at night, they may fall asleep inexplicably and never wake up again.

In addition, there are monsters called Yinji in the waters near the island, which will attack ships passing by.

As for the Yunding Villa where He Lingchuan stayed, it was a large and beautiful place with all the food, drinks and entertainment provided. If he hadn't gone out, the truth about the archipelago might have been hidden for a few more days.

Ha, he thought, the Lu family is quite careful.

But the Lu family doesn't know that the people from Rongshan are wandering around in Qucheng at the moment.

…

That afternoon, Ding Zuodong continued negotiations with the Lu family on behalf of He Lingchuan.

He had a lot of patience, and after going back and forth a few times, he set the price at 40,000 yuan for the six outer islands, and 80,000 yuan for the whole island. He also said: "This is the highest bid. If we can't negotiate, our young master really doesn't want it."

This basically steps on the bottom line of both parties.

Bottom line for price and sentiment.

Then it was quiet for two days.

He Lingchuan had plenty of patience, and Rongshan disciples returned from outside one after another, sending all kinds of miscellaneous information about Bailie. The most intuitive one was that the grain prices in Bailie and Qingguo almost went up to the sky... This basically confirmed He Lingchuan's inference and helped him understand the mentality of the Lu family.

The Lu family must be reluctant to push this money out.

Sure enough, two days later, the Lu family came to the door and agreed to Ding Zuodong's offer.

They were anxious. Every day they delayed, the possibility of He Lingchuan knowing the truth increased by two points.

If this deal fell through again, tens of thousands of taels of silver would be gone.

It would be fine if no one bought the island, but if He Lingchuan regretted it at the last minute, this kind of gain and loss would probably make the Lu family beat their chests and stamp their feet.

This agreement must be signed at the Qucheng government office.

He Lingchuan had to show up in person, and the Lu family sent Lu Qingan.

This was also the first meeting between He Lingchuan and the Lu family.

Lu Qingan was tall and slender, with a white face and long eyebrows. He was wearing a long gray brocade robe with dark patterns. He really looked like a son of an aristocratic family.

He Lingchuan observed him, and he was also observing He Lingchuan.

This overseas guest who came from afar was actually a handsome man. Although his eyebrows and eyes were a bit frivolous and cynical, he still had some grace when he put his hands behind his back.

He nodded to He Lingchuan as a greeting: "Mr. He."

He Lingchuan's current identity is a rich young man, but he has no position or title. After all, he is just a rich idler.

Lu Qingan showed the attitude of a superior, and there was nothing wrong with it.

He Lingchuan also bowed to him and smiled: "It's so hot, and I'm bothering you, Lord Lu, to make a trip!"

He didn't care if he showed more courtesy at this time. Anyway, Lu Qingan would definitely be impressed by him in the future.

After a few pleasantries, the magistrate of Qucheng County coughed lightly: "Sir, the contract is ready."

There are two copies, and every word on the agreement is the same.

He Lingchuan and Lu Qingan picked up the agreement. Although they were already familiar with the terms, they still had to read it through word by word.

The terms that Ding Zuodong and the other party discussed were very detailed. In addition to stating that the transfer scope of the Yangshan Islands includes 42 affiliated islands, there are also 387 independent reefs and the sea area radiating eight miles from the archipelago.

Specifically for the islands, it includes the transfer of all land, public buildings, fortifications, military camps and all property rights of buildings that are not private property on the islands-

This last point is because there are still a few people living on the islands instead of pirates, and they hold legal deeds.

This clause looks very humane, and the father and son of the Lu family are still worried that the buyer will not be happy, so they prepared some countermeasures. Unexpectedly, He Lingchuan just smiled and agreed after seeing it, but asked the residents of the island to abide by the laws of the new lord.

It is very reasonable, so this point is also added.

There are two island supply warehouses on the periphery that have been rented out. Now that the owner has changed, the Lu family is responsible for vacating them within half a month.

In addition, due to He Lingchuan's generosity, he is now a major customer of Bailie Territory and enjoys a series of tax, transportation and customs clearance benefits in Bailie.

The Lu family adheres to the principle of focusing on the big and letting go of the small, and all these requests he made were approved. Anyway, it is a good thing for this person to do business in their own territory, and it is glorious to pay taxes, so there is no need to stop him.

The two checked the agreement and found that it was indeed correct, so they signed and sealed it, and then stamped it.

The transfer of Yangshan Islands was considered to be completed.

Lu Qingan put away the seal, looked at the big red seal on the agreement, and his heart was finally put back in his stomach.

Just now he had been worried that the other party would wake up.

Now that the seal has been put down, no one can regret it.

The money is here.

He Lingchuan pouted at Ding Zuodong, and the latter immediately took out the silver note and handed it over: "This is the first payment of 40,000 taels of silver note, please count it."

A special person from the Lu family came forward to take it and counted it carefully.

Yes, it is indeed 40,000 taels.

The remaining 40,000 taels will be paid to He Lingchuan when the tenants on the two outer islands are completely vacated and the islands are handed over to He Lingchuan as agreed.

Lu Qingan laughed heartily: "Mr. He is really straightforward. With this Feng Shui treasure land, Mr. He will definitely make a lot of money in the future."

Chicken ribs were exchanged for huge sums of money, and he didn't have to worry about handing over military funds to Mou State in the short term.

He Lingchuan was also very happy: "Okay, okay, such a good thing should be made public."

To buy a good manor of 15 hectares in Bailie, including the purchase price and various additional taxes, it would cost more than 15,000 taels of silver; now he only spent 80,000 taels to buy 42 islands and occupy such a vast area of ​​water!

How many large manors can be built on this archipelago?

He Lingchuan couldn't calculate it. It's just a huge profit, okay?

The two praised each other and said to each other in their hearts that they were stupid coins.

They both felt that they had taken a huge advantage.

Lu Qingan was in a good mood and said casually: "How about I treat Mr. He to a simple meal at Linglong Pavilion?"

He Lingchuan accepted the invitation: "That's great."

The two of them walked out with a smile, almost arm in arm.

As soon as they arrived outside the government office, they heard a series of crackling sounds!

Lu Qingan was startled and looked carefully, only to find that there were more than a dozen big red firecrackers hanging on the street. As soon as they came out, someone lit a fire nearby, and the firecrackers echoed through several streets.
