Chapter 40: Buying Land

Before Shen Chengyao wanted to leave for a neighboring county, he would inform the village chief about the land purchase, so he took a basket of fruits to the village chief's house early in the morning to discuss the purchase of land. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the west wing, Jing Rui and Jing Hao have to practice the words for an hour every morning since they have pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and now the weather is very freezing, and the two brothers are frozen red after practicing the words in the morning, and it is difficult for them to enjoy it every day. Liu's heart hurt when he saw it, and he thought about sitting on a set of gloves for them, but they said that it was inconvenient to practice calligraphy with them, and it was even more difficult to practice well.

Xiao'er sat on the kang and made small puppets and silk flowers, and Liu also made them. The little sister herself was lying next to Liu, waving her hands constantly, and now the little sister is already very pink and white, which is particularly loved. The most important thing is that it is very well-behaved, as long as the diaper is clean, the stomach is not hungry, you can play for half a day on the kang and the cradle with a rattle, and you can fall asleep as long as you are not hungry when you are tired of playing, and you can sleep until dawn when you have a full stomach at night, of course, Liu will get up in the middle of the night to change her diaper. Now Shen Chengyao will say every time he holds his little sister, "My little sister looks so good, my brothers and sisters have never been so fat." It's all thanks to my brother and sister."

In fact, the water that the family drinks every day is the space water that Xiao'er secretly replaces, and they often eat the food of the space, and everyone's complexion is a lot better, but Xiao'er feels that these are all gradual so that they are not obvious, so she controls the amount of things in the space.

Last time, she planted the seeds given by Mr. Chen in the space several times, one is hyacinth, one is tulips, one is lavender, and one is begonia. Xiao'er took the seeds harvested in the space to the outside and planted them outside, and poured some space water every day, and now they have germinated. When you go to get the wine jar after a while, you can take it to Shopkeeper Yao by the way, and ask him to help Manager Chen.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west every day, and the pheasants, hares and robes raised before have grown up a lot under the great supplement of space food, and the family will change a little every day, Xiao'er looked at a few relatives around her, and suddenly felt that this was very good, and she would try her best to make their days better.

Xiao'er kept thinking about things while doing the work at hand, while paying attention to the movement outside the door, and finally saw Shen Chengyao and the village chief passing by in front of the door. Xiao'er hurriedly put down the work in her hand, noticed that no one saw the upper room and the east wing, and called Jing Rui and Jing Hao to go to the village together.

When the three of them arrived, the village chief and Shen Chengyao pointed to a pond and didn't know what they were talking about. The three of them greeted politely, and the village chief nodded in response, "This wasteland, you see that these grass roots are denser than hair, these stones are as many as the stars in the sky, it will really be more difficult to serve than the ancestors, such a big pond is at least half an acre small here, what are you used for, are you still sure you want to buy a whole wasteland?"

Xiao'er and the three couldn't help but laugh when they heard the village chief's description, the village chief is really talented, and Xiao'er praised him in her heart.

Shen Chengyao glared at the three little children, can you laugh at the village chief!

He nodded to the village chief again, "Our family has already discussed it. ”

The village chief is sometimes really angry with his friend's paranoid temperament, you say that this person treats other people's requirements for him, and he is very good at talking, but what he thinks of, you talk until your saliva is dry, and then pull ten cows to pull him, and he will not listen to you, let you finish jumping there, and then continue to insist on your own opinion.

"Okay, buy it all! Such a cheap land, if you don't buy it, you won't buy it for nothing. The village chief was so angry that he said the opposite.

Xiao'er stared at the wasteland opposite for a while, "Uncle Village Chief, is the wasteland on the opposite side also from our village?"

The village chief glanced at the other side, "There are twenty acres of our village, and the remaining more than ten acres are not." ”

"Dad or I bought more than 30 acres on the opposite side, and it is easy to take care of on the opposite side of the house. ”

Shen Chengyao thought about it and felt right, he was most afraid that it would be troublesome if he came to a difficult opponent in the future, and it was also a person who looked up and looked down every day, "Can the village chief help us buy more than 30 acres of land opposite?"

"Yes. "The village chief has lost his temper, these two father and daughter are specifically against him, the more you persuade them not to buy so much, the more they will buy!

"But so much land, even wasteland costs one tael of silver per acre, which adds up to more than eighty taels of silver. And can you take care of so much land? After buying this wasteland, you will have to start collecting taxes after three years, except for the homestead, and if you don't cultivate it for three years, you will have to take it back."

"Xiao'er sold two pictures two days ago, and made some money, so I want to buy more land, after all, the fertile land is too expensive, this wasteland is cheaper, my mother and I are also young, open a little every year, and it will be finished in three years." "He knows the rules for buying wasteland.

The village chief was silent when he heard this, he knew that the two husbands and wives were notoriously diligent, and they were desperate to work.

"How do you sell those two hills of the village chief's uncle?" Xiao'er asked, pointing to the two small hills in the distance.

The village chief looked at it, his brows furrowed even tighter, those two hills are even more difficult to take care of, they are used to grow crops, even if they carry water, they can exhaust individuals, and one of the mountains has a lot of stones, and it takes a lot of work to clean up, "Do you want to buy it?"

Xiao'er nodded, "If it's cheap."

"Then I'll ask you when I go to the yamen to help you make a contract. ”

"Trouble Uncle Chief. ”

"Then let's go back to my house first to make a contract, and then I'll help you go to the yamen to get a land deed as soon as possible, and strive to get it done today." ”

"Okay, I'm tired of the village chief."

The village chief waved his hand, "What's the trouble, this is what I should do, although I hate you for being like a dead cow, stiff on one side of the neck, no matter how you put it right, but I am very happy and happy to do this for you." ”

Back at the village chief's house, the village chief wrote a note in triplicate, and both of them pressed their handprints, and then the village chief found Lin Dashu and Lin Dashi as witnesses and pressed their handprints.

Lin Dashi and Lin Dashu knew that Shen Chengyao wanted to buy so much wasteland, and they also persuaded him.

Shen Chengyao ignored it, saying that he could always turn wasteland into fertile land. All three of them thought he was stunned.

Shen Chengyao took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels and gave it to the village chief, "The rest of the silver will be given to the village chief to go to the yamen to turnover, and the two mountains will be booked first."

"Let's set it first, do you think those two mountains are fragrant?" The village chief rolled his eyes, but he could only respond angrily, "Okay, set it first, set it first" The last three words of the village chief said through gritted teeth.

Shen Chengyao decisively pulled through the three small farewells and left.

Back home, Shen Chengyao took out the note to show Liu, Shen Chengyao also taught Liu to recognize some words, Liu took a look, although he couldn't recognize it completely, but he also knew that he had bought more than 80 acres in total, even the opposite one was bought, Liu didn't think there was anything bad, at most he would be more diligent in opening up the wasteland in the future, and the villagers who didn't want their own fields to be more and more.

Liu collected the note, and asked Shen Chengyao when he planned to leave for the neighboring county.

Shen Chengyao said, "Now I am ready to go." ”

He sat for a while, drank a bowl of water, took the luggage and dry food that Liu helped him pack, Xiao'er gave Shen Chengyao a basket of fruits, a pot of space water and a silver ticket of one hundred taels, Shen Chengyao only took 10 taels, and said nothing else and didn't bring anything else.

Xiao'er asked Shen Chengyao to rent a carriage in the town, and Shen Chengyao set off.
