Chapter 152: Taking the Opportunity to Buy Land
With the help of cumin, Wang Teng and his party quickly devoured the wild boar.
The moon was bright and the stars were scarce, and not long after, Ma Wu brought a group of soldiers to come overnight.
Wang Teng has too many enemies, and if there is a mistake, Dinghe Fort will be over.
This time, Ma Wu brought thirty people, and a total of forty guards could ensure that Wang Teng was safe and sound!
Forty guards probably did their job, and the guards on duty didn't notice anything unusual, and they didn't say anything for a night.
Early the next morning, Wang Teng hurriedly ate something and set off again.
The matter of raising money to build a factory is not imminent, but at present, the most important thing is to dig a well and repair the water conservancy.
Before the arrival of Jiannu, in order to achieve the effect of clearing the wilderness, Wang Teng personally promised that he would compensate him after the war.
Now, the Jiannu retreat, spring ploughing is imminent, Wang Teng must abide by his promise, otherwise, once the Jiannu invades in the coming year, the people are likely to resist and disobey the order.
After all, it is an opportunity to buy people's hearts, and Wang Teng will not miss it easily.
Back in the fort, Huang Degong submitted the list of new soldiers, and in one day's effort, Huang Degong received 200 new soldiers, and according to this progress, the shortage of 500 new soldiers could be filled quickly.
Wang Teng breathed a sigh of relief, "Rather lack than abuse, Guangling Township's reputation for being invincible has already begun, and it must not be ruined."
Huang Degong bowed slightly, "Don't worry, according to your orders, the green-skinned scoundrels will not be accepted, the runaway veterans will not be accepted, and the only son in the family will not be accepted, even so, I estimate that it will take less than three days to recruit 500 people."
Wang Teng was a little happy and troubled, "In this way, what is missing is silver?" ”
"Yes, when a soldier enlists in the army, it is customary to give a full settling-in allowance, otherwise. Guangling Xiangyong's reputation is broken."
Silver, where to find it?
Wang Teng had a headache, and now he could only embezzle Suluos's money, otherwise the new pawn would definitely not be satisfied.
"Report, my lord, the Guangling County Ya has come to the famous officials"
What are the wardens doing here?
Wang Teng frowned. "Let him in".
"No!"
Suddenly, an elderly warden paced into the main hall, "The villain Zhao Ce has seen Master Qianzong."
Wang Teng bowed slightly, "I don't know what happened to Zhao Dian?" ”
The warden said respectfully: "I came to hand over the land deed on the order of the lord of the county."
Wang Teng was very puzzled, "What land deed?" ”
"When Ulzhou was defended, Wang Qian lent a thousand taels of silver, and now Lord Wei has issued an official document asking the county to pay this amount on his behalf."
Wang Teng, who knew the way of the yamen, disagreed, "What about the silver? ”
The warden blushed. "There is not much silver in the county, and the adults have to use the land deed outside Dinghe Fort to exchange the silver."
Outside the fort were some uncultivated wasteland, Wang Teng pretended to be annoyed, "How many acres?" ”
"Four hundred acres, the land deeds are here, if you agree, you may wish to sign and draw here"
Wang Teng was greatly annoyed, "A thousand taels of silver in exchange for this barren land?" ”
The warden shuddered, "If you don't think it's big enough, you can go to the county to ask for it." The villain can't help it."
Wang Teng accepted the land deed and did not embarrass this person.
Ultimately. This matter is all related to the new county order, if it weren't for him to make trouble, I'm afraid that the land deed will definitely not be more than these!
There are a total of 800 acres of land outside Dinghe Fort, of which only 100 acres are paddy fields, and the rest of the fields are dry fields, and the yield is extremely low.
In the spirit of a cow needs to be grazed. A herd of cattle also had to be grazed, Wang Teng went to the county to ask for an explanation.
In the absence of the county order, Wang Teng got an extra fifty acres of land, which was not enough, which was far from Wang Teng's plan.
Under Yi Ying's reminder. Wang Teng found the new county magistrate and planned to buy the ownerless wasteland around Dinghe Fort.
Those wastelands are far from the water source and are almost useless all year round.
When the county heard that Wang Teng wanted to buy it, he was almost looking at him with a fool's gaze.
What should I do, do I want to tell Wang Teng the truth?
After a battle between heaven and man in his heart, the county still said in a low voice: "Think twice, my lord, those 200 acres of wasteland are inferior fields, and without three or five years of recuperation, there will be no good harvest at all."
Wang Teng didn't expect the county to be willing to think about him, so he smiled and said, "If you have Lao County's concern, it's okay, what I bought is wasteland."
Seeing that Wang Teng was bent on buying, the county Cheng didn't say anything more at the moment, but said: "Two hundred acres of wasteland, according to the market price, four hundred taels of silver is enough."
Wang Teng said with a smile: "It's easy to say, what other procedures are needed, the county may as well talk about it together."
The county Cheng took out the documents in duplicate, pointed to the two places, and said: "Your Excellency just press the seal here, and after pressing, I will go to the county to use the seal, and the title deed can be handed over to you."
Wang Teng took the paperwork, glanced at it hastily, and after confirming that there was no omission, he took out the seal and covered it neatly, "There is a lot of work, there is a barren mountain around the wasteland, let's add it to the county of Laofu."
The county hesitated slightly, but this is not a big deal, the barren mountains are useless, and it is a chicken rib to stay, it is better to make an additional head and sell it to Wang Teng, which can also be regarded as a personal favor, "Okay, I'll add it."
Wang Teng was very excited, "I'm tired."
"Wherever the adults say, it's all your own family, you stay here for a while, I'll come when I go"
"Thank you", Wang Teng felt the kindness of the county, if it was someone else, the dignified county would never go away in person.
There is a way that the courtesy must be asked for by the people, and the county Cheng is also a well-known real power figure in Yi'an City, although he has just taken office, but he can't deliberately befriend Wang Teng.
Wang Teng didn't expect that the county was frightened by Wang Teng.
If the former county magistrate hadn't offended Wang Teng, how could he have died so miserably?
In the final analysis, today's county officials can be promoted, thanks to Wang Teng!
After saying goodbye to Li Xian, the county Cheng took the document and came to the Houya study, where the county magistrate Fei Qing was inside.
"County Zun, Wang Teng wants to buy 200 acres of wasteland outside Dinghe Fort, this is a document"
Fei Qing raised his eyebrows, he took the paperwork and looked at it, and said, "What is he buying so much useless wasteland for?" ”
The county shook his head, "I don't know, if the county doesn't think it's suitable, it's better not to sell this land?" ”
After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Fei Qing took out the big seal, covered it viciously, and said with a cruel smile: "Hehe, sell!" Of course he has to sell, since Wang Teng wants to be the wronged leader, then let him go! ”
The county Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Fei Qing would not be willing to sell the land, in that case, he, the county cheng, would be looked down upon by Wang Teng.
Now it's good, everyone is happy.
Back at the signing room, the county smiled, and he handed over the title deed and documents to Wang Teng, "fortunately, he was not dishonored."
Wang Teng thanked him again, and then handed over the money.
Although four hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, in addition to the money used to recruit soldiers, Wang Teng can still draw it, but because of this, Su Luo can only owe it first.
When Wang Teng handed over the silver, the county was a little stunned, and they all said that Wang Teng was generous, and he knew that the rumors were true when he saw it today! (To be continued.) )
