Chapter VII Improving the Land
In the past few days, even the water cup is a bamboo tube, Li Zheng doesn't mind sitting down, taking a sip of water, and then said slowly: "It's not a secret, I came here today because someone in the village said about it, when your father spent a tael of silver to buy the wasteland here, he sold two acres of land to your father, and if you want to live here for a long time, you will inevitably raise some chickens and ducks and the like, this land is the land of the village, so if you really want to live for a long time, according to the meaning of the people in the village, you all buy it." ”
Jiang originally planned to buy a few more acres of land, but if he bought all of them, the silver would not be enough at all, Jiang looked at Li Zheng with a look of embarrassment: "We want to buy them all, but the land here is too barren, we can't grow a few grains all year round, our family also has to eat and drink, I still want to buy a little better." ”
The reason why she didn't directly say her purpose Jiang clan also has the Jiang clan's plan, if she agrees directly, it will definitely be difficult to bargain, she heard about this place at the beginning, because this is the wasteland left by the ancestors of the funagata village, and some people used to plan to come over to open up the land, but because the land was too barren, it was finally deserted, and the Qin family used to buy this place completely because they took a fancy to the pond, thinking that they could raise fish in the pond plus it was cheap, and there were some ulterior things in the middle at that time.
According to Qin Hongxing's understanding, it was a mistake, Qin Hongxing knew that the Jiang family's plan was just to stand quietly behind the Jiang family and didn't say much.
Li Zheng sighed and said: "I also know that it is a bit unkind to come here to ask you to buy this land, after all, this land really can't grow anything, but I always have to do things for everyone, you are moving in from outside, some things still have to follow the rules of the village, I will tell you what you mean, there are seven or eight acres of land in this valley, you bought two acres of land before, that is, there are a little more than five acres, and we don't say that the extra point is directly five acres, These five acres of land will be sold to you cheaply, and you will be given two taels of silver, and the pond in the middle. If you want to buy the land on this hill in the future, we can also make it cheaper. ”
This place is far away from the village, plus there is nothing in the village, the people in the village will not come at all, and this mountain is not like other mountains with trees, and there is nothing to do if it is bare, so the people in the village discussed that it can be exchanged for a little silver, and if they don't sell the Jiang family, they will use it if they are so close.
Jiang didn't expect it to be so cheap to buy here, you must know that if it is good land, you can't buy an acre of land, there are seven or eight acres of land in this depression, although it is very barren, but it is still possible to grow a little less elaborate crops, plus this valley is also good for raising chickens and ducks, so this price is definitely appropriate.
There was almost nothing to hesitate, Jiang looked at Li Zheng gratefully and said, "The people in the village really take care of me, and I ask Li Zheng to say thank you to the people in the village on my behalf." ”
Li Zheng was even more embarrassed, this was a bit of a force to buy the Jiang family, this land was already barren, no one in the village could afford it, but now the Jiang family bought it.
"If you feel embarrassed, you can not buy it, and we will not force you." Li Zheng really felt a little reluctant in his heart.
Qin Hongxing was anxious on the side, worried that the Jiang family would not be willing to buy it at that time, this land is actually not bad at all, it is just because there is no one to plant it all the year round, and it has been abandoned for many years, if it is opened up well and then raised for a year according to her method, it is definitely a first-class good land, and she has many ways to improve the land, of course, this will not be said in front of Li Zheng.
Qin Hongxing lightly touched Jiang's shoulder, Jiang looked back at Qin Hongxing suspiciously, and asked, "What's wrong with Hongxing?" ”
Qin Hongxing said in a low voice: "Mother, let's buy the land, although this land is very barren, but we will indeed add trouble to the people in the village if we live here in the future, and buying this land can be regarded as a kind of gratitude to the people in the village." ”
It's nice for her to talk like this, Jiang understood that Qin Hongxing meant to encourage her to buy it, she knew that the reason Qin Hongxing was saying now was definitely not the real reason, she looked at Li Zheng and smiled: "Thank you Li Zheng for your kindness, we bought this land, this tax ......." ”
Such barren land can be exempted from taxes for three years, and she will only pay taxes when it becomes fertile land, because she doesn't want to pay taxes on such barren land as she can't afford it.
Li Zheng hurriedly explained: "You can rest assured that this land has a title deed, and I will report it to this land when the time comes, and this land will be exempt from taxes for three years, so you don't have to worry too much, when do you plan to go to ...... with me with this title deed." ”
Now that the matter has been negotiated, the Jiang family didn't intend to stand up and said: "Tomorrow morning, I will go to the village early tomorrow morning to find Lizheng, and I will really go to Lizheng today." ”
After sending Li Zhengjiang away, he asked Qin Hongxing worriedly: "Hongxing's mother doesn't understand why you encouraged me to buy land just now?" "Since Qin Hongxing fell into the water three months ago, she felt that Qin Hongxing was like an elf ghost, and some ideas were impossible for even adults to have such good ideas.
She still respects Qin Hongxing's thoughts, so she wants to ask clearly.
Qin Hongxing has been helping to do things for the past two days, and now she is also a little tired, so she sat down and said: "Mother, I think this land can be improved, I see that the soil here is very thick, not really barren, and now it looks so barren because there is no planting." ”
The soil on the surface is very thick, and the reason why this place is so barren is only because there is no one to farm, so it is barren because there are too many wild grasses that consume all the nutrients in the soil, but for her, these are not problems, that is, the first year is a little more difficult.
Jiang was very worried, and he didn't know how to make the land fertile, and said a little worriedly: "But what do we have to do to fatten this land." ”
Qin Hongxing already had a number in her heart, but she was not very worried about this matter, and hurriedly comforted: "I already have a number of this matter, all my mothers don't have to worry too much, and when the time comes, just do what I do, it only takes a year for our land to become very fertile, and we can grow food next year." "This year is not yet the time to raise seedlings, and it is okay to raise fields now.
Jiang was a little worried: "I planned to buy land before, and my father and I planned to spend five taels of silver to buy an acre of fertile land, as long as it is good to plant, it will be enough for us to save a little more year's food, but now that I have bought this land, I am worried that I will not be able to survive it by then." "Running a family always has to be planned early, and the Jiang family is already worried about what will happen in the future.
