After talking about cotton, Li Qikun led Gao Feng to the living room. The sofa in the living room has already been set up, and a pot of Junzi Orchid is placed on the coffee table, the whole pattern looks fresh and natural, neat and generous, and then pour a cup of high-quality West Lake Longjing, and drink a sip of aroma into the spleen.

The two of them sat on the sofa, drinking tea, very comfortable, Gao Feng accompanied Li Qikun to talk about the benefits of the sofa for a while, and then talked about buying land.

Li Qikun seemed to be prepared and said, "Brother Gao, last time you said you wanted to buy land, I will help you pay attention." There is a good manor in the south of the city, two or three hundred acres, dozens of houses, because the master wants to move to Nanjing collectively (that is, Yingtianfu, the later generations of Shangqiu), so he is in a hurry to sell, the price is 1,500 taels, here is closer to the county seat, it is more than five miles of road, so it is quite convenient. However, the owner put forward two conditions for the sale, one is that as long as the silver, no copper coins, and it is a fixed price, and the other is that there are dozens of tenants under his household, and they must be passed to the buyer's name, and the two conditions are indispensable. ”

Li Qikun understands the land in more detail, which shows that he has worked this land, but he can't guess Gao Feng's thoughts, especially the other party's two conditions are a bit harsh, and he is afraid that Gao Feng will not agree, so after telling the matter, he stopped and waited for Gao Feng's response.

For this land, Gao Feng was moved. At the current land price, one mu and three taels of silver, the land money will be eight or nine hundred taels, plus dozens of houses, one thousand five hundred taels is not much of a vain, it seems that this family is a solid want to sell.

As for the two conditions put forward by the other side, it is not a problem. There is no silver tael, but he has 1,500 copper coins, according to the exchange relationship of the Song Dynasty, one tael of silver is exchanged for one penny, and Li Qikun can be entrusted to help exchange it, which is just right in terms of money.

The matter of dozens of tenants is not a problem, Gao Feng is already short of manpower, if he can use this group of people, it can be of great help, but he still does not know much about the situation of the house and land, and needs to look at it before he can decide.

"How's the house and the soil?" Gao Feng asked.

"The house is six or seven percent new, and the ground is seventy percent silt and three percent sand." Li Qikun replied.

Because the Yellow River floods all the year round, for several counties located on the edge of the Yellow River, the land is often eroded, so the sediment content in the land is more, the local people divide the land into sandy land and silt land according to the amount of sediment content, generally the sediment content is more than forty percent is called sandy land, less than forty percent is called silt land, that is, fertile land.

Li Qikun's seventy percent silt and three percent sand refers to the fact that seventy percent of the land is silt (fertile land) and three percent is sandy land. Such a high proportion of silt should be considered good land, and Gao Feng is quite satisfied with this, and besides, he doesn't want to use all the land for growing crops and sandy land for building workshops.

"Looks like the house is a little old." The house is not old, but it is also a few years, and the purpose of Gao Feng is to hear whether there has been any change in the manor and why the other party wants to sell the property.

"This is their old house, which has always been safe and sound, if it weren't for the family's son mixing well in Nanjing, they would have to ask to move over, they wouldn't want to sell it at all." Li Qikun explained.

Li Qikun's explanation dispelled Gao Feng's doubts, he had the heart to buy it, so he said: "Take the time to take a look, if you have no opinion, you can buy it, but I have to trouble the staff to help me exchange it for the silver tael." ”

"There is no problem with the silver two, guarantee that one for one to help you exchange, to say free, the day after tomorrow is a good day, that day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole county is also very lively, I happened to be invited by the county order to go to enjoy the moon, then we will go together, but also by the way to see the lively scene of the county." Li Qikun first agreed to the request of the next peak, and then suggested.

For Li Qikun's suggestion, Gao Feng became entangled. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, it seems that I have forgotten the time, but such an important festival, and it is the first time I have reunited with my family, how can I go to the county seat?

Seeing Gao Feng's hesitation, Li Qikun persuaded: "Brother Gao, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the leaders of the county, major dignitaries, celebrities and talents will gather together, it is a good time to get acquainted, especially the Gu County Order, who is humble and kind to the people, is an elder worthy of respect, this time I just helped you recommend it, you can't miss this opportunity!" ”

Li Qikun's persuasion once again moved Gao Feng's heart.

The Mid-Autumn Festival did not attract attention to the countryside, even the custom of eating moon cakes did not spread, it is estimated that at this time there is this emphasis in the capital or individual cities, so it is said that the Mid-Autumn Festival is only in the city, especially those literati and writers often take this opportunity to sing the moon and express their feelings, and the Mid-Autumn Festival at this time completely polarizes urban and rural areas.

Gao Feng is naturally not in the mood to sing poems and flirt, but it would be a good move to take this opportunity to meet some bigwigs in the county. The next step is to expand the business, and those rich and powerful figures can borrow it, in other words, the most ugly thing to say, is to pit money is also to pit their money.

As for Li Qikun's statement that the county magistrate Gu is a good official, he doesn't care. In the late Northern Song Dynasty, when traitorous officials were in power, it was strange to have good officials, and even good officials in name were mostly doing self-interested things under the banner of serving the people.

"Brother Gao, there is another procedure at this gathering, that is, the county magistrate Gu asks for the people's life, and asks everyone for advice on the strategy of governing the county, and the people present can speak freely, if a good suggestion is adopted, there will be a reward of one hundred taels of silver, although the money is not much, but it is an opportunity to show his face, I think Brother Gao's talent should be able to put forward good suggestions." Li Qikun released another piece of information, which undoubtedly spoke to Gao Feng's heart.

Although this is the first time I have heard of such a thing, it is undoubtedly worthy of recognition. Regardless of whether this Gu County Order is sincerely for the people, or is it under the guise of this? It doesn't matter anymore, Gao Feng wants to implement his own plan, which is one way. So he decided to go to the county seat.

"Okay, I'll go with the staff when the time comes, I want to ask the staff outside, is there a map of the whole county? The kid wants to borrow it. Gao Feng said.

Gao Feng agreed to accompany him, Li Qikun was still quite happy, he valued Gao Feng's magic, and hoped that he could stand out at this party, as for what Gao Feng wanted to do with the map, he didn't care.

"I have a map here, but it only has a rough outline, and the marks are not detailed enough, I wonder if it will be to your liking?" Li Qikun preached.

"As long as the direction and important places are marked, there is an outline." Gao Feng nodded in agreement.

Since he was going to the party, Gao Feng was not prepared to go empty-handed, otherwise it would be in vain to go, so after getting the map, he asked Li Qikun about the development of the entire county, such as the county's population, land, what crops are grown, which areas are concentrated, what businesses and distributions, and so on.

Li Qikun has traveled south and north for many years, and has a lot to do with the county order, he knows these things well, and he talks about them easily, so he answered them one by one.

After getting this information, Gao Feng gradually understood in his heart that as long as he went back with a little processing, he could come up with a good planning plan.
