The sudden offer to sell his land was not a whim on Yan Heng's whim, but the only solution he could think of to solve the current crisis.

Yan Heng is not living without heart these days, he is also analyzing how his family should grow.

He knew that his Yan family could still survive in the Ming Dynasty because of two capitals.

One is the fame of his father, and the other is more than 50 acres of fertile land left by his ancestors.

The fame of the father is the guarantee of a political life, a guarantee to avoid being robbed of the family property by everyone.

Although these 50 acres of fertile land are barren, they are the economic security of their own family, even if their father fails in the imperial examination, the family can still cultivate and study heirlooms.

But these two capitals are closely related, and the most important thing in this is obviously the fame of the father.

Once his father's fame is gone, his own 50 acres of land will inevitably be unable to be preserved in this small-scale peasant economy and society, where land merger is the main trend.

The law of the jungle, it is never good for the weak to have wealth.

Since his father's reputation is not guaranteed, his own fifty acres of fertile land and sixty or seventy acres of mountainous land will definitely not be guaranteed.

In this way, it is better to sell it in advance while the capital is still in your own hands in exchange for a good price.

Now Ouyang Jin should not know that his cousin and his clan want to seize his own land, otherwise he would definitely go directly to his cousin to share the benefits.

Yan Heng thought that he would simply sell the land to him while he didn't know it yet, Ouyang Jin didn't know that his own land couldn't be saved, so he wouldn't deliberately lower the price, maybe he would only think that he was a young boy who was impatient and was eager to sell the land for money to save people because he saw his father in prison.

Ouyang Jin did think so at this time, after hearing that Yan Heng was going to sell his own land, he subconsciously thought that it should be his own law just now that stimulated him to start being sensible and wanted to save his father by himself, so he couldn't help asking: "Why did you suddenly mention this, this sale of land is not a trivial matter." ”

"Uncle Shi heard the little nephew say that it is not that the little nephew does not know the importance of selling the land, but that the son of man cannot sit idly by and watch his father in prison!

Although Uncle Shi and Uncle Shi will help find a way, the little nephew knows that Uncle Shi's family is not easy, and the uncle has now spent a lot of money because of his cousin's marriage to his daughter-in-law and the illness of his little nephew, so how can he be embarrassed to trouble the two of you now.

In addition, my father has always been high and ignorant of farming, and now dozens of acres of land are also in vain, and now my father is in trouble, it is better to change the money to save my father in danger, as for the sale of ancestral property to offend the ancestors and ancestors, it is also really helpless, and it is also a matter of the little nephew, and the little nephew is responsible for it, and I hope that Uncle Shi will understand! ”

Yan Heng glanced at Ouyang Jin as he spoke, and when he saw that he was moved, he simply squeezed out a few tears, and then made a gesture to kneel down and beg him.

Jiangxi has always been a mountainous place, and it is mainly mountainous and hilly, and only a small number of good fields are easy to irrigate along the Yuan River, so although the price of grain production fields has fallen over the years, the fields in this area are still very expensive and very popular.

Moreover, Ouyang Jin, as a county warden, also has relatives in his family who are in the middle of the court, so he doesn't have to worry about the battle of the grain chief if there are more acres.

What's more, Ouyang Jin has also accumulated a lot of family assets over the years because of being a warden, these years, once people make money, they want to buy houses and land, Ouyang Jin is no exception, he is actually like buying more good land to leave to his children and grandchildren, but now the county order is more strict with Haoqiang and land cards, and he does not dare to be too presumptuous.

Now that Yan Heng wants to sell the land, he is also a little moved, although Yan Zhun is barren with dozens of acres of land, but it is indeed a high-quality and good land, if he gets it, he will definitely get a lot of benefits.

Ouyang Jin hurriedly supported Yan Heng and sighed: "Poor son, as you said, your uncle's family is indeed not easy, since you have this heart, it is naturally good, but you can make the decision when it comes to selling the land?" Your uncle won't be without an opinion? ”

"The little nephew is the eldest son in the family, and now that his father is not there, the little nephew can naturally call the shots, and it is also to save his father, in line with filial piety, it is naturally reasonable, as long as Uncle Shi does not bully the little nephew at a young age and deliberately lowers the price, his uncle naturally has nothing to say", Yan Heng hurriedly said.

"Nonsense!"

Ouyang Jin drank Yan Heng, slapped the table, and said righteously:

"You think so much about your uncle, if it weren't for your father's face, he would have beaten you to the ground, you and I are friends of the world, how can being an uncle make you suffer;

Now you don't have to say that you sell your land and sell it, it seems to be very miserable, and you take your family's land deed and land deed, and use it as a mortgage to Uncle Shi, and Uncle Shi will mortgage some silver taels to you with these land deeds, and you don't have to divide it into several fields and other places, all of them should be regarded as the market price of first-class good fields, and you will become an official in the future, and you will directly bring silver to Uncle Shi to redeem it, understand! ”

Yan Heng smiled secretly, I want to buy my family's land, I just said it, why do you say it so high-sounding, it is worthy of being an official in the county government, or not, this can be regarded as taking care of my face, after all, it is really not good for my reputation to sell my ancestral property directly.

"Thank you Uncle Shi for taking care of me, the little nephew can't repay it, he will be a straw ring one day",

Yan Heng pretended to be very moved to salute Ouyang, so he took the land deed at home and handed it to Ouyang Jin.

And Ouyang Jin is also very powerful, and directly calculates the price: "A total of fifty-three acres of high-quality good land, sixty-two acres of good land, a total of nine hundred taels of silver, I just have five silver tickets of one hundred taels on my body today, I will give you first, and tomorrow I will ask my housekeeper to send you the remaining four hundred taels of silver, I will write you an IOU first, I still have one or three dollars of scattered silver here, and I will also give it to you, count it as extra, your brothers will have to eat in the future!" ”

Yan Heng had to sigh, people are actually not so selfish, they will still express their goodwill after getting benefits, Ouyang Jin is better to give some extra money, which can be regarded as more conscientious.

Since Ouyang Jin expressed his kindness, he also threw himself into it and busily said: "Uncle Shi is benevolent and righteous!" ”

After taking the silver ticket, he stretched out his hands, smiled, and asked Ouyang Jin for the broken silver.

Ouyang Jin couldn't help but smile and smashed the money in Yan Heng's hand: "Don't spend it indiscriminately!" ”

"Don't worry!"

Ouyang Jin saw Yan Heng's wicked smile, and he had a feeling that he was not taking advantage of it, but he was taking advantage of it, and he even regretted his behavior of being generous when his conscience found it just now.

However, when I thought that after I got these more than 50 acres of land, I would be much relieved as long as I waited until it was reclaimed, and then according to the current price increase of this field, it would increase several times in a year or two.

What's more, since Yan Heng wants to use this money to deal with the government, he naturally asks himself to help with it, and he will naturally be able to make some money at that time.

So after thinking about it like this, Ouyang Jin was ready not to write a note, but instead stretched out his hand to take back the silver ticket given to Yan Heng, and said: "Why don't you put the money here first, Uncle Shi will help you take care of it, it is not convenient for you to hold so much money for a child, and there is no way." ”
