Chapter 222: Begin to Draw Books
Xuan Miao'er now began to prepare drawing books most importantly, she thought about starting with simple drawings, such as twenty-four filial piety pictures, such as Aesop's Fables, and simple arithmetic books, which can enlighten children, and this kind of book is estimated to be expensive, and those rich people will also buy it.
And then I have to draw something like a comic, or a villain book. But she can't draw so much by herself, she is going to draw the character settings, then write the storyline, and then ask the drunken boy to find someone to draw the details.
I have a plan in my heart, so I will wait for Qianzui Qingming to come back to worship my ancestors, and then I will talk about it in detail, but now everything that should be prepared must be prepared.
The family went back to Hewan Village, and the road was a little muddy at this time, but fortunately, the carriage they sat in planned to stay for a long time when they came back this time, so they brought more things.
When they came back, they all came out to see when they heard the sound in the upper room, Old Man Xuan and Xuan Wenxin also came over to help get things, and Ma also stood at the door and watched.
After cleaning up, the Liu family began to burn the kang, it has not been able to live for so many days, this kang must be burned as soon as possible, Xuan Miaoer also began to clean up the house, and they brought back a few new quilts, otherwise it would be too cold to come back.
If this person is used to enjoying it, when this Leng Ding comes back, Xuan Miaoer will not feel so adaptable, but fortunately, a new house will be built after spring ploughing.
After cleaning up, Liu began to cook, Xuan Wentao went to Lizheng's house with a gift to discuss the purchase of land, Xuan Miaoer also had to follow to see, Xuan Wentao knew that Xuan Miaoer was not a troublesome child, so he let her follow.
When he arrived at Li Zheng's house, Li Zheng also knew that Xuan Wentao had bought a house in the town now, and he also knew that their family was doing well, so he was also polite: "Please come in and sit down." Brother Xuan is a busy man. ā
Xuan Miaoer also hurriedly saluted and called: "Uncle Lizheng is good." ā
They all sat down, and Li Zheng stroked his beard and smiled: "This girl is getting smarter and smarter the longer she grows, I heard about them going to the town to sell things this year, a few little girls have earned a lot of silver, this is the glory of our Hewan Village." ā
Xuan Wentao was happy in his heart, and said modestly: "Li Zheng is in love, this child is stubborn." ā
Rizheng laughed. I also know that people are polite: "Brother Xuan is here today, is there something wrong?"
There is silver. has an identity, Xuan Wentao is also resolute in speaking and doing things: "Our family wants to buy some fields, and you also know that I am a farmer." I still like to farm in this riverbend village. ā
Li Zheng didn't expect that they would buy a house in the town and come back to buy land: "You really don't plan to move out?"
"Hewan Village is not far from the town, and it is convenient for horse-drawn carriages to go back and forth, and the children go to school to live in the town. My wife and I still plan to stay, and this time we plan to put on a bigger room. After the spring ploughing, I plan to build a house. Xuan Wentao happened to talk about the house together.
"That's good, we have a lot of land in our village, and we are close to the town. In the past few years, many people have moved to the town, so there is really a lot of surplus land, how many acres of paddy fields or dry fields do you plan to buy?" Because one acre of fertile land costs more than five taels, even if it is a hundred taels of silver, it is twenty acres.
Xuan Wentao has money in his hands this time, and his heart is stable. Anyway, Xuan Miao'er said that they can still share the silver once during the Qingming Festival, so the family is very rich now: "Lizheng, I want to buy 40 acres of paddy fields and 60 acres of dry fields." ā
Li Zheng stood up in fright: "What? How much? You are not wrong?"
Xuan Wentao also knew that this amount was really a landlord in Hewan Village, but he did buy these: "Lizheng, I do want to buy a total of 100 acres of fertile land." ā
"Brother Xuan, you are really developed, if others say this, I will definitely joke at the time, but I know you as a person, but the amount you want is too large, and the idle fertile land in our village can have sixty or seventy acres, but if you want land, I will build yƬ and you will open up wasteland. "Lizheng is really built in this way, and the cost of land reclamation is actually lower.
Xuan Miaoer also felt that Li Zheng's words were reasonable, especially if the land was cleared, the land was together: "Dad, I think Uncle Li Zheng is right, our family will buy less land first, and then start to open up the wasteland after spring ploughing and building a house, so that our family's land is all together, and it will be easy to manage in the future." ā
Xuan Wentao also thought so: "Okay, then let's see how much land can be sold next to our village next to the side, I bought it all, and then I bought the wasteland in the field, and began to open up the wasteland in the summer, just in the summer, there are many idle people in our village, and it is easy to hire people." ā
Li Zheng is also happy, so that there is work to be done in the village, and there will be less stealing chickens and dogs and fighting: "Brother Xuan really has a vision, then let's go and see the land, today it is settled, and tomorrow we will find someone to measure and go to the town to do the land deed." ā
"Okay, I want to hurry up too, or I'm going to plant the land when I see that it's warm. Xuan Wentao was happy when he talked about the field, and Xuan Miaoer also hoped that there would be land and a steady heart.
Li Zheng led them out of the village, walked a mile to the east, stopped and pointed to the south of the river, and said: "You see that these rice fields from here to the east are temporarily ownerless, about twenty acres. Then he pointed to the opposite side of the paddy field: "There can be 30 acres of dry land over there, can you see it?"
Xuan Wentao is a good farmer, and he likes this field at this glance: "Okay, I like these two pieces of land tightly, so I will buy another fifty acres of wasteland next to the dry field to the east." ā
Xuan Miaoer added: "Dad, I think the pond next to the rice field is also good, let's buy it directly, and we can raise fish, chickens and ducks in the future." ā
Li Zheng looked at the pond: "The pond is not big, even if it is zoned in the wasteland, it is not just silver." Li Zheng also knew that it was not easy for Xuan Wentao to take those gifts, so he also used some power, not to mention that the pond was really not big, and no one would buy it.
After discussing this, we walked back, and when we arrived at the entrance of the village, Xuan Miaoer looked at the land under the hillside, which was really good: "Dad, can we build a house at the entrance of the village? The place is big, there are mountains and springs, and there is no need to dig a well." ā
Li Zheng looked at Xuan Wentao with a smile: "Brother Xuan, your daughter's eyes are poisonous, this piece of land is good, it is in the village, and I am generally afraid of wolves or something, in fact, it will not take two years, there will be no fewer houses around, and the houses in our village are limited." ā
Xuan Wentao thought for a while: "Our family wants to build a courtyard house, the courtyard wall is also high, and the space is also large, not to mention that this place is really suitable, can I approve this place?"
"Brother Xuan spoke, can I still say no? I'll go to the town together tomorrow to do it. Li Zheng responded immediately.
Xuan Miao'er was happy in her heart, this place is really good feng shui, the most important thing is that it is not far from her own field, and it is also the closest to the town. (To be continued.) )
