Chapter 120: Becoming a landlord

After admiring the transparent jade bracelet, because the bracelet looked too valuable, Apricot and Ling'er asked the forest fish to put it away quickly so as not to break it.

Lin Yu put the silver and bracelet back in his purse, and pressed them under the futon, ready to find a place to hide them later.

Now the floor of the house is paved with green bricks, but there is no way to dig a pit at the foot of the door and bury it like before.

The family has just built a new house and bought a field, and there is no longer much money, Ling'er and Xingzi also know, but everything is supported by the forest fish, and they don't have anything to worry about, and they don't care about the family, so they basically have no concept of money.

This time, Yan Gu left so much silver money down, Lin Yu had a headache, and he really didn't know what to do, so he took the initiative to ask the opinions of the two.

Apricot and Ling'er were subtly affected by the forest fish, and they also felt that this silver money should not be used, but if they didn't use it, Yan Gu didn't know when he would be able to come back, and it would be a pity to store this silver money, after all, although he didn't have to worry about eating now, but there was still a large piece of wasteland that had not been sorted out, and he had to pay the deed tax next year.

The three of them discussed for a while, and finally came to the conclusion that since the money was kept by Yan Gu again, it proves that he really helped the family, in this case, he may not be happy to come back if he is stored there, so it is better to treat it as if he borrowed it, buy the rest of the money into a field, and then slowly return it to him when the balance is used in the future!

After discussing, the three of them swept away their previous depression. I am full of confidence in the future, my whole body is full of strength, and I no longer want to rest. So they all got up and went to the stove to make lunch.

As soon as the Lantern Festival passed, Uncle Qi drove the ox cart to accompany Lin Yu to the town, and found the tooth who helped him buy the land at that time.

Yayu was naturally very happy to see her, but she didn't expect that in just a few months, Lin Yu came to buy land again, it seems that last time the little boy's family was either a high-ranking official or a local tyrant and an inferior gentry. Otherwise, how could a half-grown child have so much money? It's just that he was a little curious about why the names of the forest fish were written on those fields, and the forest fish explained that it was because it was inconvenient for the little boy to reveal his name. Moreover, the little boy did not come often, and put the land in his own name, which made it easier to do things.

Ya Yu also asked casually, but when he saw Lin Yu, he explained to himself. I was a little flattered. The greeting was even more courteous.

This time, Lin Yu bought 80 acres of medium field and 40 acres of high-grade land, spending a total of 800 taels of silver, plus the 60 acres of medium field and 68 acres of wasteland bought a year ago, there were a total of about 200 acres of land, and Lin Yu jumped into the ranks of the landlords and squires of Huaikou Town.

The family suddenly has more industries, and Lin Yu is afraid that his family will be coveted. I asked Uncle Qi to help find a few down-to-earth and capable families, who could help take care of the family. I can do some chores again, and when I harvest grain next year, I will definitely need a lot of manpower, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to keep busy.

Uncle Qi agreed, and within two days, he found two families.

A family is Aunt Qi's mother's village, surnamed Zhang, there are only two people in the family plus a son and a daughter, both of them are honest, belong to the kind of people who can't beat a fart with three sticks, and they are bullied when they are in the village, but their character can still be guaranteed, this natural disaster made his family really unable to survive, because he knew that Aunt Qi's cousin had some skills, so he begged to go over, and asked them to help see if they could find a job, saying that even if they went to a big family to do a long job, as long as they could stutter.

Uncle Qi happened to know about this, so he asked Aunt Qi and Uncle Qi about the family carefully, and after hearing it, he felt that it was feasible, so he asked them if they were willing to come over as a family.

The second family is from the next village, surnamed Lu, there is an old lady in the family, two single sons, because the family is too poor, even the daughter-in-law can not say, this time suffered a natural disaster, so that the family without a family is even more poor, the two brothers originally wanted to go to the mountains to hunt, but the old lady was afraid of losing her son when she was old, so she resolutely disagreed, both brothers are extremely filial, so they want to find a good family, save some money and then find a daughter-in-law to be filial to the old lady.

Uncle Qi helped find the person, Lin Yu naturally believed it, so he kept the two families and signed the death deed.

There are seven or eight people in the two families combined, and although the newly built house in the family can be temporarily lived in for them, they can't live together all the time, so Lin Yu asked Uncle Qi to invite Aunt Qi's brother-in-law to come, and found the people in the village who had helped them build a house before, and prepared to build a row of side houses on the side of the mountain.

Because it was just over the festival, there were not many people building houses, so Lin Yu handed over two hundred taels of silver to Uncle Qi, and Uncle Qi went to order the materials for building the house early.

There are two more families in the family, and it is a little inconvenient to live, so Lin Yu asked Zhang Lu's family to help move the beds that their family members slept in downstairs to the upstairs, and the downstairs was temporarily left for them.

After Uncle Qi went to the town to order the materials for building the house, Lin Yu asked him to help find two master carpenters to come to the house to make the furniture needed for the house.

Although the partial house is also a civil structure, there is only one floor, and it will be completed after half a month, and the inside and outside will be ordered, even if it is completed.

Because Aunt Qi's brother-in-law was still busy with other things, Lin Yu asked Uncle Qi to settle the account for him, and the other people who helped stayed.

The people were divided into two groups, one to call the Liyuan Dam and the other to clean up the wasteland.

Lin Yu had people build a big courtyard wall, all the way from the farmland to the foot of the mountain, and paved a stone road with ordinary triple soil mixed with gravel at the courtyard gate, all the way to the front of the house.

The inner side of the courtyard dam is also planted with thorns to prevent someone from climbing over the wall to enter.

The courtyard dam is divided into two sides by the stone road, and some melons and fruits are planted on one side and vegetables on the other.

Behind the courtyard dam, fruit trees were moved from the mountains and planted, and a fish pond of ten or twenty square meters was dug near the river, and the side was reinforced with Sanhe soil, ready to feed some fish and raise some lotus.

A small yard was left between the fish pond and the fruit trees, grapes were planted around it, and a grape trellis was built to prepare for the summer to enjoy the shade and pick grapes to eat.

In the wasteland, the helpers were asked to clear all the stones, and after the soil was loosened, soybeans and sorghum were planted.

Uncle Qi thought that sorghum could still be used as food, and soybeans could only be made into tofu, so he asked the forest fish to grow all sorghum, but the forest fish did not agree, only saying that this soybean is also a good thing, and there are many things that can be made, so Uncle Qi does not have to worry.

Uncle Qi knew that Lin Yu had an idea, so he also put his mind at ease. (To be continued......)
