Sure enough, after 7 days, people came here from other places one after another, and people from the hard-hit areas moved to Qingcheng and Liangcheng. The father watched these people leave their hometowns and drag their families with them, the adults were fine, some old people and children were obviously physically exhausted, their faces were emaciated, and they couldn't bear it in their hearts, so they would give these people something to eat.

But there are more monks and less porridge, so many people, we can't take care of it, not to mention that we still have to eat at home, and now we can still buy food, but when we can't buy food, even if we want to take care of it, we are powerless.

I feel very strange, didn't the imperial court distribute relief food? How can these people still move with their families? So I asked some of them, and they said that the imperial court had sent food for disaster relief, but after layers of exploitation, when they reached their hands, there was not enough to eat. Each person can only receive three catties of rice, not every day, and they have to wait for 7 days to half a month before they have a chance to receive rice. And their place is not bad, their county order is a good person, and the food in their hands is distributed to them, but the prefect above the county order is a big corrupt official, so they have to move their families. Some places are even more miserable, the prefect is greedy, the county order is greedy, and the people are not famous, not to mention that they receive rice once in 7 days and a half months, and it is good to receive it once a month, and sometimes the rice received is mixed with sand.

Listening to what they said, I was indignant in my heart, and I really wanted to kill all the corrupt officials, but it was impossible, I didn't have the ability, and all I could do now was to get them something to eat. Some of them went to look for relatives, some wanted to find a job to settle down, they asked my family if they wanted to stay, although they wanted to stay, but my family can't live so many people! More and more people are coming here, and this is not the way to go, so I talked to my father to see if I could buy a small mountain nearby, and let them build their home there, not only can everyone take care of it, but we can also use the mountain to see if we can do something, such as raising some chickens, ducks and geese, focusing on fruit trees, etc., so that they can have a job.

My father readily agreed, so I went to the county to find the county magistrate, and I went to the county government with my father, and the county magistrate knew that we were going to buy mountains, so he asked the master to lead us to the archives, where there were all the information on the mountains in Pingyang County.

The master said enthusiastically: "I don't know what kind of mountain Wang Shanren wants to buy?" Tell me about it, and I'll introduce you to it. ”

Your expression has already said everything, you just want to get some oil and water from us, this enthusiasm is really unbearable.

"Then the troublesome master took out some mountains near my house and let me see them."

"Okay, okay, you wait." As he spoke, he pulled out one of the stacks and handed it to his father.

"Wan'er, you can come and see it too."

"Yes, father." I leaned over to look at the stack.

"This is Ling Qianjin! Miss Wang can read the words on it, or I'll tell you about it. ”

"How dare you bother the master, Wan'er can read."

"Miss Wang can read, that's really a talented girl! Amazing! ”

"The little girl only knows a few words, how dare she be praised by the master like this." Father said lightly.

The master listened to what his father said, so he had to shut his mouth stupidly. I looked at this stack of information, there are 3 mountains, more in line with the conditions I want, but the information was registered a few years ago, can not be accurate, so I discussed with my father to go to the field to see, my father and the master said our intentions, the master readily agreed to lead the two officials with us, and so we walked the three mountains down, it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon, unconsciously I and my father went out for 4 hours, fortunately I have practice, do not feel tired, I looked at my father, my father is also not red and breathless, At this time, I had a thought in my heart, my father was a practitioner. Looking at the master and the servant, the servant is a little better, the master is simply crawling away, but also, 3 mountains climb down, for people who don't exercise, it can't bear it.

When the master saw us stop, he sat on the ground, ignoring any image, and said breathlessly: "Wang, Wang, Wang Shanren, you, you, how do you look, how are you?" Yes, there is a choice, is it desirable? ”

My father looked at me, and I knew that my father was letting me choose, so I said, "Master Ma, these mountains are not very good. ”

"Ah" Master Ma exclaimed, "Miss Wang, you say, are you not satisfied with these?" The master thought to himself, not only could this business not be done, but he was also tired like a dog, and he lost a lot of money, crying with a sad face.

"But I can still buy a mountain with barely a mountain, although I'm not very satisfied." I said reluctantly.

"Miss Wang, what are you talking about, which mountain is it?" Master Ma instantly said excitedly as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Master, you don't have to be too excited, I just said that I can barely buy it, I still have to think about it." I said flatly.

The master thought to himself, didn't this little ancestor want to see other mountains! I can't run! This has taken away half my life, no, no" Miss Wang, in fact, the mountains are almost the same, and the other mountains are not as good as the ones you see! ”

"Oh, is it? Master, what you said is true? ”

"Really, really, of course what I said is true, master. I've been a master for so many years, don't you know anything about this? ”

"But if I want to buy this mountain, I'm still very reluctant!"

"Miss Wang, otherwise, I'll talk to the county magistrate and sell the mountain to you cheaper?" The master said flatteringly.

"Well, then I'll still think about it, after all, these mountains are just this one, I think it's okay. Master, you also know that there have been a lot of victims recently, and this mountain was not bought for my own use, the most important thing is to use it to resettle these victims, and our family also plans to do good deeds, so that they can have a place to live, and by the way, we will get something on the mountain so that they can have a job to do. ”

The master who has been a master for so many years, when he heard it, he knew that there was an opportunity, so he said: "Wang Shanren does good deeds, that's a good thing!" Don't worry, I will discuss it with the county master, and this matter cannot make Wang Shanren suffer. ”

"Then thank you, Master Ma, it's not early today, we'll go back first, waiting for your good news." Leave. Father said with a light smile.

"No thanks, is this a good deed? We're definitely here to help. You go back first, wait for my good news, and don't send it slowly. Master Ma smiled flatteringly.

On our way home, my father nodded my head with his hand and said, "You little devil, I know what you think." ”

"Hehe, of course I know, these little tricks of mine can't escape your father's eyes."

"Forget it."

I nodded and didn't speak, and at about 10 o'clock the next day, I saw Master Ma come to my house with a smile on his face, "Wang Shanren, hehe, good news!" ”

"Master Ma, come and take a break and have a cup of tea!"

"Hey, okay." After drinking a cup of tea, he said: "Wang Shanren, I told the magistrate that your intention to buy the mountain is for the refugees, and the lord is very pleased, saying that there is no one who thinks about the people like you now, so the mountain can be sold to you cheaply." ”

"Then thank you to the county master, of course, I also worked hard for Master Ma to be a lobbyist for us, I don't know this mountain?"

"I'm not working hard, this mountain was originally sold for 500 taels of silver." As he spoke, he looked at us, and then said, "Now the county magistrate heard what you said to arrange for some disaster victims to live there, find them work, and think about selling you 400 taels." ”

400 taels, I think your master wants to be greedy for some silver! "In that case, master, I think so! You've been working hard for us all day, I can't trouble you, I'll go talk to the magistrate! ”

"Miss Wang, do you think there is still a problem with the price, can we still discuss?" Master Ma hurriedly said.

"The master has already fought for us to reduce 100 taels, it's not good to let the master go to the magistrate, I'll go to the adult to talk."

"Hey, Miss Wang, I'm a master, I've been with an adult for a few years, it's better for me to talk to an adult." Master Ma hurriedly grabbed me.

"Master Ma, you also know that my family has helped a lot of victims during this time, and I don't have so much money on hand, so I really can't help it!"

"Then I don't know how much Miss Wang wants to buy this mountain!"

"We only have 300 taels in our hands now."

"300 taels" then I won't make much, hey, I thought I could get a lot of oil and water, and it hurt me to run so many roads yesterday, and I lost weight, Master Ma was thinking about it.

Think I don't know your little thoughts? Don't look at who I am, but I'm also the soul of a modern person! It would be good to be able to give you 300 taels to buy this mountain, this mountain county will charge 250 taels to 280 taels at most, but I saw other information when I was in the database, and I wanted to fool me, no way.

"I wonder if Master Ma can see if this can be done?" I pretended to look expectantly.

Master Ma came back to his senses and said, "Since Miss Wang has spoken, I'll just give it a try." ”

"Then it's time to trouble the master to run again."

"No trouble, it should be." After Master Ma finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Wan'er, won't this 300 taels be too little. This piece of mountain costs 400 taels no matter how you say it. ”

"Dad, don't worry, I gave a lot of prices, and this master still has a lot to earn!"

"You can do it!"

"I will."

In the afternoon, Master Ma came again, this time not only with people but also with papers!

"Master Ma, how is it, what does the magistrate say?" I feigned doubt.

"Well, I finally lived up to your instructions! As soon as this was done, I rushed over immediately, and I didn't even have time to eat lunch in a hurry. ”

"Ah, what's the matter, hurry up and clear the lotus, and tell the kitchen to prepare wine and food."

"Yes, miss."

"That's trouble. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to get down to business, this is the document of the mountain, you give me the money, this document is signing your name, this mountain is yours. ”

"Okay, master, wait a minute, I'll go and get the money."

took 300 taels of silver tickets from his mother and handed them to the master, who signed his father's name on the paperwork, and the matter was considered a deal. When the meal was ready, my father beckoned my grandfather to go and eat the food, and I told my father to go and settle the victims.

I looked at the paperwork, not only the mountain, but also the open space in front of the mountain was bought for us, which is really good, I am worried, I can't let them all live on the mountain, this is really a person who is sleepy and sent a pillow, these 300 taels are not in vain.
