Chapter 53: Buying Land

Knowing Xu Ming's details, Du Wanwan thought about it, and still talked to Xu Xiuyue in detail?.?? `c?om

"What does your brother like to do on weekdays? I don't think he likes to talk. ”

During these days, after Yan Shao's investigation, the details of ten people have been figured out, except for Lu Youliang, everyone else has temporarily lived in Yan Shao's house. Yan Shao said that Xu Ming is good at making incense, and he is also proficient in the preparation of facial cream and fat powder, and he is also quite talented in dyeing, and the most important thing is that people have secret recipes. Although he has already made it clear to Yan Shao that Xu Ming's affairs are all up to him, Du Wanwan feels that it is not undesirable to take precautions for some things, not to mention that Yan Shao is not in Licheng now.

Xu Xiuyue talked about her two younger sisters very naturally, and that kind of intimacy was from the heart. And when he talks about his younger brother, his eyes will always flicker unconsciously, his words will be fluctuating, and he will repeatedly change the topic. In the end, it is a fourteen-year-old girl, and she can't do it at home on the surface, Du Wanwan tried it twice before, and she knew it in her heart. She also deliberately observed Xu Ming, and now this boy is extremely silent, not communicating with anyone, but always likes to go to the back yard and stay in front of the flower garden for a day.

Xu Xiuyue didn't know Du Wanwan's purpose, and she was uneasy, although this was her life-saving benefactor, but Xu Xiuyue always remembered the advice of her parents before they died.

"Lady, the servant's brother is not good at words on weekdays, and he doesn't have any other hobbies except for flowers and plants??.?? `c?o?m?” Xu Xiuyue's eyes drooped slightly, and she replied respectfully.

Du Wanwan paused and thought for a moment, "If I ask your brother to plant flowers, can he plant them?"

"This?" Xu Xiuyue was stunned, Xu Ming likes flowers and plants, but it doesn't mean that he will plant them!

Du Wanwan waved his hand, "Since you like it, you can learn it well, and you can usually tinker with some other things." As soon as the words came out, Xu Xiuyue's body stiffened obviously, and even her complexion changed a few times.

"Don't be nervous, in fact, I'm going to buy a Zhuangzi and plant some flowers and plants in it. You know that, too. I bought you here for the newly opened shop, I am in the fat powder business, and this flower and plant can never avoid contact. I see that your brother likes it, so I want him to go to Zhuangzi to help. Xu Xiuyue's tense body eased slightly. "Since the lady bought us, the younger brother's whereabouts are up to the lady. ”

Du Wanwan and Xu Xiuyue's conversation was quite pleasant, and the two of them talked about the two younger sisters of the Xu family again, and then went separately. After informing Xu Xiuyue, Du Wanwan put the purchase of Zhuangzi on the agenda.

It's not just Du Wanwan who wants to buy Zhuangzi. As early as more than a month ago, Du Qiang and his wife had already begun to plan to buy land??.?? `co?m

At the end of the year, Du Qiang borrowed Yinzi money from Panshui Town, except for Du Yu who took some of it, Du Qiang kept the rest. Du Qiang and his wife squandered a lot of money throughout the year, and seeing that the spring equinox was open, Du Qiang realized that the silver in his hand was not enough.

In fact, at the time of the exchange of silver, Du Qiang also went to Licheng and made a small profit. There should be no shortage of money. However, the price of fertile land in Shisanliqiao is high, and the paddy field is fertile, and the price is much higher than that of dry land. In the past, when he was in the south, Du Qiang had planted paddy fields, and if he was to choose, paddy fields would of course be the first choice.

The foreign population of Thirteen Mile Bridge last year was waiting for the village to measure the fields, and Du Qiang asked for ten acres of paddy fields from Du Li and Li Zheng without the fact that the money was not enough. In previous years, when the population was prosperous, land was expensive, and an acre of good paddy field could be sold for ten to fifteen taels of silver. Now because of the war. The population of the border city has decreased sharply, and one acre of paddy field is worth seven taels.

Du Qiang only has a dozen taels in his hand, and the difference in buying land is not half a point. After greeting Cunzheng, Du Qiang went to Panshui Town again. I want to borrow another amount from the person who put the money. However, his previous money has not yet been repaid, so how can people be willing to lend it to him easily! Du Qiang was entangled by the person who put the money and was delayed in Panshui Town, and when he publicly measured the land the next day, the person did not appear.

Du Li stood alone in the crowd nervously. Du Qiang did not discuss with her about buying land, but Du Li knew how much money the family had. According to what Muramasa said, the dry land paddy fields are divided into grades, and the general dry land is one or two halves of silver per acre, the better ones are about two taels, and the best ones can be sold for four taels. Land near wells and creeks is a bit more expensive.

And the paddy fields are also divided into two grades, the ordinary six taels of silver per mu, and the good eight taels. Du Li knew that when they were in the south, they were serving paddy fields, but they had no money in their pockets, so they could only retreat to the next best, so Du Li decided to buy a few more acres of dry land.

While they were thinking about which one to buy, the village found her in the crowd, "What about your man? Didn't he ask for the best paddy field in the village? Why didn't anyone come now?"

Du Li was stunned when he heard it, the best paddy field?

"Do you want two acres?" the two of them asked for two acres of land, which was a little little. Besides, in recent years, taxes have been exempted, and it is proper to buy more land regardless of dry land and paddy fields.

Mura Zheng listened to Du Li's question, and his face was also inexplicable, what happened to these two people?

"Didn't your man say that he wanted to buy ten acres? If he didn't want it, there would still be people in the village who wanted it! If it weren't for his greeting in advance, I would have given it to someone else a long time ago!"

The government sent to measure the government has already begun to work. Those who don't have much money in their hands choose dry fields, and if they have them, they take one or two acres of paddy fields. If the conditions are good, they will buy more paddy fields, and when they can't run out of food in the coming year, they can also use them to exchange them for money in the town.

Du Li looked at the busy yacha, only to feel that his ears couldn't hear anything, and the words of the village were echoing in his mind. Du Qiang actually hid that he asked the village for ten acres of the best paddy field, what did he want to do? Now that he doesn't have any money in his hand, he wants to keep her, the wife he is marrying, on the side?

The silver in the house was hidden by Du Qiang, but after living together for twenty years, how could she not know Du Qiang's habits, and it was easy to find out. Du Li is ruthless in his heart, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!

"I see that in addition to the head of the household, other people can also have land in their names, do you think I can buy a few acres of land by myself?"

Muramasa looked at her, but simply nodded. Although there is a lot of land on the border, there is also a limit on the amount of land in each person's name. In previous years, there was a shortage of points, but this year there are many people in the land, and the land is not enough, and the land is not enough.

Seeing that Mura Zheng agreed, Du Li hurriedly said: "In the future, Du Qiang will be Du Qiang's, and mine will be mine." I don't interfere if he wants to buy 10 acres of paddy fields, but I plan to buy 1 acre of ordinary paddy fields and 5 acres of better dry land. The location is near my house, what do you think?" )
