Chapter 51: The Pear River Dam
This remark touched people's hearts, and Village Chief Feng liked it!
"Is there a house in the dam?" Xia Qing then asked. Just when the village chief acquiesced, the rules had been broken.
"The chief of this village has gone up to see it, no, but someone lived in the previous dynasty, and the foundation was well laid and very strong. ”
"The foundation of a few rooms?" The rules are really easy to break! Xia Qing was silent.
"It's hard to say, there is a cherry grove above, but this fruit is the same as the pear tree on the side of the mountain, it is very astringent and bitter to be eaten, and in this forest, there are scattered some house foundations, which are really not counted. Village Chief Feng said.
"Oh, I thought that I could repair two rooms for my cultivation!"
"Dao Chief has a household registration?" Village Chief Feng did not answer this cultivation remark.
"Yes, it's just that I'm tired of living at home, and I want to come to the countryside quietly, but I don't expect it to ......"
"The rules can't be broken!"
"Yes, it's a pity, then Village Chief Feng will leave!" Xia Qing retreated. There are so many vacant land in this village, the pressure on the village chief is very great, no matter how much you are empty, with this fish scale book to collect taxes and pay grain, it is not feasible to lose a bucket, the village chief is under pressure, and there is motivation to sell the land!
"You must bring some fields, and if you don't bring them, the people who bought houses and settled down before will be unhappy!"
"I don't know how to farm......"
"Then, how about buying barren mountains and wild forests, the tax is not heavy, and the Taoist chief can afford it, so everyone is very fair!"
"Barren Mountain?"
Xia Qing never thought of buying a barren mountain as real estate, what can she do with a barren mountain?
"In front of this, a large pear grove, along the foot of the mountain, is a wild forest, tax less, a dump of silver five taels, this forest has more than ten tilts, in the register of five tilts, the annual tax of 25 taels, the first five years of tax exemption, this is the official red seal of the tax bill!"
This plan is feasible, 25 taels a year, this can afford it, even if there is no income from this pear grove in the name of a barren mountain, Xia Qing can pay it to herself, five years of tax exemption, that is, you don't have to pay silver for two years after the disaster, so it's really good. This side is the future summer residence and hunting ground of the royal family. This forest is a cornucopia.
"And the price of the homestead over here?"
"This place has six acres, four acres are classified as waterlogged land, no money, and the official price of two acres of homestead is five taels and one mu. A total of ten taels, this dam will belong to you!"
"Is there anyone in the village who can repair houses?"
"Dao Chang means to buy it?"
"I have to know if anyone can repair the yard, otherwise it will be useless for me to buy it, and I can't rest in the open dam." ”
"Yes, no matter what kind of Dao Master wants to cultivate, there are!"
"Can you go in and have a look?" "It's easy to repair the house, let's talk about this homestead later!"
"I have to go to the village to borrow a boat for this!"
The boat in Happy Horse Village opened Xia Qing's eyes, and Boss Gong personally blocked the seam with a piece of cloth, which sent the village chief and Xia Qing to the other side.
"Village Chief, why did you always want to come here?"
"This Daoist wants to buy this land!"
"What should I do if I repair the Taoist temple incense, if I want to burn an incense, I have to swim over to occupy a hexagram, just my boat, it is estimated that it will fall apart after I go back!"
Gong Boss is a broad-shouldered and broad-backed man, mainly hunting for a living, has caught fish in this pear river for more than a year, the fish are gradually decreasing, can not make a living before giving up, so there is this boat in the house can only sit three people, is very knowledgeable and practical, he sent the village chief to see the land this trip, he did not hesitate to express his righteousness for the village consciousness, Xia Qing looked at this blinking eyes of the 'honest man' and wanted to laugh:
"Xiaodao is not going to cultivate the Taoist Temple, don't worry about the problem of this incense!"
Boss Gong was depressed, alas, he thought he could do that!
On the other side of the river, the three of them and a cat walked inside, and the dam went higher and higher. The place where the river can flood is a dry sandy area. There are some small trees gradually inward, Xia Qing looks at the traces of flooding, it is not too scary, the trees gradually become thicker, and the ground is not very wet. The so-called foundation has also been seen, the rectangular small courtyard has a total of more than ten rooms, it should be the main courtyard, and there is a row of slightly smaller areas of square foundations on the far side, it is supposed to be a house for the next person to live in, the stone foundation for many years, it actually looks very dry, and there are no moss marks all over, indicating that there is not much moisture here. Livable.
Xia Qing looked at the separate square foundation under her feet, and thought to herself what this was to repair?
"Village chief, I bought this place, and I will come according to the rules of the village chief, plus that pear grove!"
"It's a deal, let's go out and talk!"
How inconvenient it is, the water rises in summer and it is not safe, besides, such a foundation, according to feng shui, is not good, Boss Gong was entangled in his heart for a long time, and finally decided to be righteous!
"Dao Chief, it's really inconvenient to get in and out of here!"
"Thank you! I have a point," Xia Qing went ashore and looked back at the land she had bought, and her heart suddenly settled down. handed the more than 20 copper coins he had prepared in his hand to Boss Gong.
"Thank you, I'll have to borrow your boat again next time!"
"Use it at any time, just call me," Boss Gong was very excited when he got a reward out of thin air.
Next, Xia Qing took out her household post and handed it to the village chief:
"It's really the stepmother at home who can't ......" Xia Qing touched Meijin's head, and in a deep voice, she didn't finish her words, just this half sentence, and solved the problem, and Village Chief Feng opened his mind to make up all kinds of details. Originally, he saw that the Taoist chief was the identity of the Dao Aunt, and then he figured out why Xia Qing wanted to buy this inconvenient place for a single woman to live in, this river dam is the best place.
Needless to say, Xia Qing took out another money and prepared to ask the village chief to repair the house for herself.
"I don't need a big house by myself, just build that square foundation into a two-story building!"
One person, naturally, doesn't need too much space, that square foundation, should have been a pavilion or something.
"Dao...... Long, it's better to repair the foundation of the ten houses, and later, it is better to repair the pavilion, the two-story pavilion, on the other side of the river outside, you can see the ...... at a glance"
…… Sure enough, this official is thinking far.
"Ten rooms ......"
"The cost is not much more expensive than that small building, no matter what, there is no harm in having more houses, the Taoist chief can't always live alone, there must always be someone to help!"
Xia Qing seriously pondered her future at this time, she is used to being independent in modern times, and she can't live alone in ancient times, so she can't buy two people to accompany her......
"It's still the village chief who is well-informed!"
"It's not that I'm highly knowledgeable, the main thing is that the Taoist may not know much about the rights and wrongs outside, if the Taoist has to live here alone, not to mention only across a river, you are just across the city wall, then it's not safe, you still have to be accompanied by someone to be safe." I've seen orphan girls robbed before they were set up for three months, not only the red-eyed relatives, but also the ruffians who always bully the weak!"
