Everyone waited for a cup of tea outside the mansion, and finally saw Xie Chengzhou walking out of the mansion with a happy face, and Liu Ximing hurriedly led someone to greet him.

Xie Chengzhou saw that Liu Ximing hadn't returned to his hometown yet, and asked a little strangely: "Ximing, don't you wait to go back to your hometown, but you are here, but wait for me?" ”

Liu Ximing hurriedly saluted and said: "I haven't thanked Er Yin for speaking up in the hall, and there are indeed some mundane things that want to bother Er Yin in my later life." ”

Xie Chengzhou estimated that he got some promise from Zhang Licheng in the government, and this was the time when he was in a good mood, so he immediately laughed and said: "This time it is this official who acknowledges your feelings, how can I turn my face and deny it, what is the matter with you, and let's hear it." ”

Liu Ximing hurriedly told Xie Chengzhou about his plan to buy the land in Zhangjiawan Village, and Xie Chengzhou looked at Liu Ximing with a little surprise when he heard this:

"I don't want your family to have a lot of money, but you came to the right thing to buy land, if you don't have the official to come forward, you will be sad to be a county scrivener. Let's go, the official is about to return to the ya, you wait to accompany you. ”

Xie Chengzhou immediately thought of the prefect Zhang Licheng's promise to Liu Ximing, and smiled gloatingly: "Hahaha, you are a good calculator, but I am afraid that after the Fuzun knows, you will be so angry that you will jump to your feet." ”

Everyone laughed all the way to the county yahu house, the house clerk Zeng Zhihe heard Xie Chengzhou say that Liu Ximing wanted to buy the land in Zhangjiawan Village, and sure enough, his face changed slightly, they scriveners heard that the big families in Zhengyuan Township had died cleanly, and they had long been eyeing these fat, where would Liu Ximing take it, and said with a little embarrassment: "Yu County, it is not a shirk of humble duty, but a squire has come to inquire about buying land, and it is difficult to do both lowly duties." ”

Xie Chengzhou's family is a big family in Baoning Mansion, where do they not know the methods of these officials, and know that they just want to scrape some oil and water from them, but he just gave Liu Ximing a guarantee, how can they let them succeed, and immediately said angrily: "Bastard, the thieves only looted the township last night, why do some people know today, could it be that they are fornicating with thieves?" ”

Seeing that Zeng Zhihe was a little cringe, Xie Chengzhou continued to make an angry appearance and said: "Fuzun also knew and agreed to this matter, and specially exempted Liu Ximing's family from paying taxes and servitude for three years, and later there will be a government Chinese book coming down, so there is no need to say more, just do it for him." ”

Zeng Zhihe was a little unwilling to see the meat in his mouth but couldn't eat it, and when he saw that Xie Chengzhou had moved out of the prefect's mansion, where did he dare to say anything, so he had to go and take out the Yellow Book of Enlistment and the Fish Scale Atlas.

"Xie Xiancheng, Liu Gongzi, there are a total of 350 acres of land in this Zhangjiawan Village, of which 320 acres are under the name of Zhang Yucheng, and there is a total of ...... fields."

Xie Chengzhou immediately interrupted: "Zhangjiawan Village suffered a military disaster last night, and most of the fields were destroyed. ”

Zeng Zhihe gasped and took a look at Liu Ximing, could it be that this guy is Xie Chengzhou's relative, and he actually helped him to this point, you must know that now the upper field is almost ten taels of silver per acre, and the lower field is only three taels, according to more than three hundred acres of land, at least nearly a thousand taels of silver.

But today he also heard that Xie Chengzhou led the troops to win a battle, and Zeng Shuyao's term of office is also approaching, Xie Chengzhou's right to speak in the county is only afraid that it will become more and more heavy, so he didn't dare not buy his face, so he had to register for Liu Ximing as he said.

Soon Zeng Zhihe completed a series of formalities, and he handed over a survey that was divided into two to Liu Ximing and said: "Liu Gongzi, please pay the nine hundred and sixty taels of silver required for the purchase of land on the tenth day, and then obtain the land deed and other things with this survey." ”

Liu Ximing was overjoyed, and took advantage of the kung fu of Kanhe to stuff two taels of silver into him, Zeng Zhihe checked the silver in the palm of his hand, and his originally ugly face also improved a little, so he was a good guy.

Liu Ximing took the opportunity to ask: "If I reclaim wasteland in the township, how should I calculate it now?"

Zeng Zhihe was taken aback, this year has also reclaimed wasteland, I am afraid that your family will not have a family to compensate, but thinking of what Xie Chengzhou just said, the prefect exempted his family from paying taxes and forced labor for three years, and said with jealousy: "Taizu once ordered the wasteland to have their own land, but now they need to pay a little land money, and each mu is only one or two dollars of silver." ”

Liu Ximing nodded thoughtfully, it seems that he can reclaim the wasteland by himself in the future.

Out of the house, Liu Ximing hurriedly said to Xie Chengzhou: "Eryin's love and care, and it is difficult to repay the late grass and rings." ”

Xie Chengzhou said with a smile: "Promote the backwards, promote the talents, the virtue of this scholar doctor, if you go to school, you should also learn from this." Now that the house is safe, listen to what Master Ru said, if you want to take the county exam this year, you should study hard at home in the future, and you must not relax. You need to know that even if there are thousands of mansions and thousands of acres of fertile land, if you have no merit and fame, a small official in the county can also make your family bankrupt, and you must not guard against it. ”

Liu Ximing was very moved, the existing Zhou Liangcai's teachings are in the front, and Xie Chengzhou is in the back, he is indeed lucky, and bowed down and said:

"Qin Oath" said: 'If there is a minister, there is no other skill, his heart is resting, and if he is tolerant. A man has a skill, as if he had it. The sage of a man, his good heart, is as good as coming out of his mouth. Eryin is broad-minded, he is really a model for the younger generation, and he should listen to the teachings in his later years, day and night. ”

Seeing that his face was full of sincerity, Xie Chengzhou nodded with satisfaction, and told him to be careful of the wandering thieves, let him walk around the county often, and let them leave.

Liu Ximing thought that he had managed to get the land done today with Xie Chengzhou's face, if he waited for a while to pay the money, he was afraid that he would have a long night and a lot of dreams, anyway, he had money in his space, so he found a corner where no one was there and took out the money, and the four of them went to find the scribe Zeng Zhihe.

Zeng Zhihe originally planned to go and tell a few gentry in the city about Liu Ximing's land purchase today, to see if they wanted to come forward to stop him, who knew that Liu Ximing and the others would return so soon, and seeing the big bags and small bags they were carrying, Zeng Zhihe suddenly couldn't sit still.

He walked forward quickly, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said, "Liu Gongzi, what did you leave behind?" ”

Liu Ximing smiled, put the burden on the table in front of him, and heard the sound of "bell" Zeng Zhihe was shocked.

"The township is too far away from the city, and I am afraid of disturbing you again, so I borrowed some money in the city, and today we will do the land deed together."

Liu Ximing showed an honest smile like an old farmer in the countryside and said to Zeng Zhihe and several other scribes.

"Hehe, Liu Gongzi's connections in the city are really deep."

Where the hell did you borrow a thousand taels of silver, Zeng Zhihe roared in his heart, he had the intention of dragging him along, but thinking that Xie Chengzhou was also in the yamen at this time, if Liu Ximing went to invite him again, he would have to eat a meal at that time, so he had to smile and beckon his colleagues to count the silver taels and go through the formalities.

Liu Ximing finally handed two taels of silver to each of these scribes, and then he took the land deed in his hand, and at this time he was also relieved in his heart, the field deed was in hand, and it was difficult to turn the tables on this matter.

With the addition of his own five acres of land, he now has a total of 325 acres of land in his hands, accounting for more than ninety percent of the land in the entire Zhangjiawan Village.

Fuck, think about it this way, no wonder Zhang Yucheng, a bastard, is so arrogant, the land in the village is basically in the hands of his family, only thirty acres of land are scattered in the hands of several yeoman farmers such as the Liu family, and the whole village is basically his tenants, can he not be arrogant.

From the situation of Zhangjiawan Village to the small to the big, it is conceivable to what extent the loss of land in the countryside of the entire Dameng Dynasty has been, you must know that Shunqing Mansion is not divided into princes, if it is like Chengdu Mansion, in addition to the squire, there is also the super monster of Shu Wangfu there.

"Let's go, let's go back quickly, with these fields, we can recruit many more people in the family."

Liu Ximing couldn't hide his excitement and said to Mu Jingnan and the others, Mu Jingnan and the others also came to the spirit when they saw this situation, and a group of people rushed back happily.
