Chapter 240: Wasteland (2)
Miss Li is right. If you really want this wasteland, it would be good to spend some money up and down the yamen. It's better to get the title deed before you can talk later. Listening to Li Xin's careful words, Shi Yayu also agreed with Li Xin's point of view. Wasteland is a kind of thing, originally barren and no one cultivates it, if you ask who wants it at this time, I'm afraid that no one else wants it.
But once it is really cultivated and there is a good harvest after farming, I am afraid that there will be more people eyeing it.
As the saying goes, no one ploughs the thin field, and if it is ploughed, there are people who fight. Such a large piece of wasteland is not a small area! If you can really have a good harvest, I don't know how to attract it!
"Yes! Let's not be greedy for such cheapness, it's better to give some money, otherwise, we won't feel at ease while farming! I'm afraid that I'm busy with work, but it's just making wedding dresses for others in vain. Li Xin said with a smile.
"Okay, since Miss Li has already decided on it, then let's go to the county seat and take down this land." Now that Li Xin has decided, Shi Yayu will not persuade much.
"Okay, then let's go to Dongyang County and deal with this matter!"
Seeing that Li Xin really planned to ask for this wasteland, Caiyun hurriedly persuaded him: "Miss, do you really plan to want this wasteland?" If you want to buy it, you can't buy what kind of good land you can't buy! Why such a wasteland! Can there really be a harvest in such a place? Besides, there is also the cursed thing, such a thing, of course, you believe in it, but you can't believe it. â
"Okay, now that I've decided, don't persuade me. I've always been blessed with a great life, and wherever I am damaged, I will be damaged by some curse. Besides, that curse is just a human word, what heaven, what gods and Buddhas, isn't it that no one has ever seen it? If there really is, why don't you show up and let everyone see! Li Xin disagreed.
What strange forces are chaotic, but they are all myths and legends, and they are naturally not credible. Isn't there still a legend on the moon that there is Wu Gang, Chang'e, Jade Rabbit, and a laurel tree that is constantly cut down? But someone has already landed on the moon, proving that there is nothing on it. There is no life, even potholes, nothing to see, not at all as sacred as everyone looks up to, and not as beautiful as countless literati and writers have praised.
Even the light that came out was stolen. So, naturally, the legend is not credible.
Although she also thinks that those legends are very beautiful, in a certain way, she also believes that there is Chang'e's existence zĂ i, and there is such a poignant love story, but that's all. Because of such a beautiful story, I yearn for it, and I believe it after all, but it may not really belief, it's just a beautiful vision. Such a poignant story always exists in the world, and it doesn't matter whether the protagonist of the story is called Chang'e or not.
"Miss, don't say anything like that again. Blasphemy is a great sin. Caiyun was already looking around in horror, "God bless!" Miss is not guilty of ignorance, not intentionally offended, please don't blame Miss! Caiyun God muttered.
"Okay, I'll not say anything. But I've decided to want this wasteland, so don't say anything more. We will now go to the county seat. Li Xin said, already walking towards the carriage.
Seeing that Li Xin got into the car, Caiyun and Caixia stopped talking and followed behind to get into the carriage. Shi Yayu also got into his own carriage, and the group set off for the nearby county seat. This is the boundary of Yuanzhou, so naturally you should go to the nearest yamen to handle the land deed.
Speaking of which, Li Xin, the boundary of Yuanzhou, has never been here. Fortunately, not to mention the north and south, Shi Yayu has walked a lot in nearby places, and the Shi family's coachman has also been to many places. It is rare for the entire Yuanzhou to be clear, but these Difan are also familiar, so along the way, Li Xin and the others fortunately did not get lost or go wrong.
When they arrived at the nearby county office, Shi Yayu and Li Xin explained the matter to the person who handled the land deed, and the person agreed happily. Originally, it was a wasteland that no one wanted, and it didn't belong to anyone, and it naturally belonged to the yamen when it was sold to get the money. And such extra income is generally shared by the big guys in the yamen.
These people can be beneficial, and they are naturally very happy.
However, it is a little late to measure the wasteland today. The county government is still far away from the wasteland! Moreover, measuring such a large area of land is not a matter of time and a half. Li Xin and the others also lived in the county seat now, thinking that they would wait until early tomorrow morning, and then go to the wasteland with the people in the county government.
"It's finally half done." Shi Yayu said with a smile and Li Xin.
"It's better to be happy when it's done thoroughly. There's no guarantee that nothing will happen to you! Li Xin smiled, but she was not very happy. Now, that wasteland doesn't belong to her! Although she is optimistic, the people in the yamen can be regarded as agreeing, but I am afraid that when a Cheng Biting Jin suddenly pops up!
After all, she still has to wait for the deed to be in her hands, so she can be considered at ease.
"Presumably there will be no change, it's just a wasteland, and no one should come to fight for it at this time, Miss Li should rest assured for the time being!" Shi Yayu is more optimistic than Li Xin. According to his meaning, such an emperor is naturally not wanted. The girl Li in front of her is already a strange person, where else in the world will there be such a person!
The next day, early in the morning, Li Xin and his entourage went to the county office. After converging with the county government, the yacha went all the way to the wasteland, measuring the wasteland is a more tiring thing, but such a wasteland is not a good field, just measure it casually, but you don't have to take it too seriously.
Besides, in this kind of wasteland, it would be nice if someone wanted to give a little silver money casually, and they would not say that they would have to calculate it according to how many silver dollars per acre. In fact, the measurement is mainly Li Xin's own meaning, measure it well, and it will be easy to speak in the future. If someone in the future says that the area is larger than the amount measured today, it will also be troublesome to carve out a piece of it.
Therefore, Li Xin asked the officials to measure, and there should probably be an amount, so that it is easy to register. Moreover, it is better to have a slightly larger amount, and I am not afraid that someone will find fault with the size of the area in the future.
Li Xin was generous and rewarded a lot, so those yacha naturally had nothing to complain about, so he measured it well.
Li Xin is looking at the surrounding environment, there is no need to worry about wasteland irrigation, such a big turbid river is here! Naturally, there will be no shortage of water for irrigation. Speaking of which, such a big river doesn't know how many people along it have to feed. The river is there, irrigation or something is easy to do, repair a canal from the upstream, all the way through the entire wasteland, it will be convenient in the future.
In the beginning, it must have taken a lot of work to repair such a canal, and a lot of money must have been used. However, once you get it done, you don't have to worry about it anymore.
At the top of the wasteland, there are several mountains on the side, and there are not many people close to them. After all, there are no fields here, only these wastelands, and naturally no one will live here. However, after crossing the mountains and walking a short distance, there are villages.
Therefore, this is not a place where people are extremely rare.
Generally speaking, the wasteland only occupies a small distance on the edge of the Turbid River, which is so long that it winds all the way, and I don't know how many places it flows through. In addition to this wasteland, the land on the edge of the Turbid River is still very fertile and relatively easy to cultivate, so there are still many people living there.
After tossing for several days, I finally got a rough measure of the wasteland. It's about 150 acres, or 15,000 acres, which is really a big place.
Li Xin gave the yamen 20,000 taels of silver tickets, and he took down the wasteland, along with several small mountains on the edge of the wasteland, and the yamen was also registered in Li Xin's name. Li Xin is very happy about this, although those mountain ranges are not very big, but they are compared to the big mountain ranges, and if you really look at it, they are still relatively large.
In addition, there are many trees in the mountains and forests, which is a great fortune. Even if you don't say whether it's worth it or not, if you want to reclaim this wasteland in the future, there will inevitably be a lot of people gathered here. If people want to live here, they naturally have to build a lot of houses.
Wood can be sourced locally, which saves a lot of work.
As a thank you, Li Xin gave the yamen a generous reward.
After the matter was done, Li Xin and the others stayed in the county seat for one night, and then set off to leave this place. This place is called Fangzheng County, and the name is easy to remember.
Li Xin was very happy about this trip, and he gained a lot. However, Caiyun and Caixia were a little incomprehensible, after all, such a wasteland, for them, was really useless, and they spent so much money.
Twenty thousand taels of silver! With so much money, I don't know how many lifetimes it will be enough for an ordinary wealthy family. Not counting the 20,000 taels, it cost a lot just to reward those people.
"Miss, why do you like that wasteland so much! It's obviously useless land, but it's big, what can you do? Caiyun muttered.
"I know, you must not understand it now, and in just a few years, you will know why I am so persistent." Li Xin smiled and didn't explain. Now, they don't necessarily understand what she explains. Why don't you just wait slowly! Facts speak louder than words, and it will be clear in the future.
"Could it be that there is some treasure buried there?"
"It's true that there is a baby, sooner or later! You'll all know. âR1152
