The selected 6,000 acres of mountain forests are within the scope of the three villages of Zhaojia Village, Lijia Village and Shanhe Village.

But after determining the terrain, Jiang Qianyue and the others did not rush to buy land, but went to visit Lizheng in five villages one by one.

After that, I invited the five Li Zheng to go to the town to find the pavilion chief to buy land.

At the pavilion chief's house, when he heard the intention of Jiang Qianyue and the others, he couldn't help but gasp, which was exactly the same as the previous performance of several Li Zheng.

This Xue family is really amazing!

And when he listened to Jiang Qianyue's plan, he shook his head again, sighed, and smiled bitterly.

In the end, he quipped to her with an appreciative face, "The Jiang family was able to send such a smart woman to the Xue family without a penny, it is simply the biggest loss for their Jiang family!"

However, just for the sake of a memorial arch, he cut off his arm and earned such an extraordinary woman for the Xue family in vain. ”

Regarding his boasting, Jiang Qianyue only said humbly, "The pavilion chief praised it falsely, the folk girl is just a little woman, and this idea is not what the folk girl thinks, but it is discussed by the two sisters together, where is it worthy of the pavilion chief's appreciation." ”

"Hehe, if you want me to say, although you two are women, you are both courageous, and you can be described as heroes among women", the pavilion chief did not hesitate to praise, and did not care about the inappropriate title in her words.

Several Li Zheng also chimed in.

After everyone present greeted each other for a while and put on enough high hats for each other, they entered the topic, that is, to talk about the price of this mountain forest.

The plan given by Jiang Qianyue and the others was that the Xue family wanted to book 6,000 acres of mountain forests, but because they didn't have enough money for the time being, they hoped that the pavilion chief would give some discounts.

If the price was within the Xue family's affordability, they decided to buy the land.

And if you want to pay 2,000 acres of land first, take 2,000 acres of land first, and pay the rest of the money in the middle of June, and likewise, take the land at that time.

They were willing to pay 1,500 taels of silver in advance, and if they broke the contract later, the pavilion chief had the right to take all the silver without returning a cent.

If the land is taken as scheduled by the middle of June, it is hoped that the remaining part of the silver will be paid at the price negotiated today.

And the Xue family is willing to sign a contract with Wuweilizheng, promising to hire a certain amount of labor in several villages within the year to help several villages prosper together.

In addition, Jiang Qianyue bluntly said to everyone that the 6,000 acres of land is just the Xue family's plan for the year, and if nothing else, the family may have a greater demand for mountains and forests at the end of the year.

In this way, it makes sense for Jiang Qianyue to find five Lizheng.

Obviously, they were asked to help lobby the pavilion chief.

You must know that the ownership of all ownerless mountains and forests belongs to the imperial court.

Even if all the mountains and forests in their own village are sold, they have nothing to do with the villagers, and not a cent of the money from the sale of land will fall on their heads, but will all be handed over to the imperial court.

Therefore, selling mountains and forests is only a merit for the Li Zheng, and there are no other tangible benefits.

They are more concerned about the other benefits of the land sale, such as the need for buyers to reclaim the forests and hire local villagers to bring some income to the villagers.

The income of the villagers has increased and the number of poor people has decreased, which also has a merit of Li Zheng.

Therefore, for them, no matter how great the merit of selling land is, it is not as great as making the villagers rich.

Therefore, Jiang Qianyue grasped the concerns of the Li Zheng, and privately promised them that if they bought land for their own families, they would recruit the labor needed for mountain forest reclamation and planting in the later stage.

And if the price offered by the pavilion chief is more favorable, so that they can buy more, they will be able to provide more work for their villagers.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with them whether the price of this mountain forest is high or low, if it can really be exchanged for the opportunity to do work for the Xue family, of course they hope that the price is as low as possible.

For this reason, Wuli is naturally going to actively fight for lower prices for them, so as to get more work for their villagers.

In the end, the pavilion chief couldn't stand their 'overwhelming numbers', so he 'endured the pain' and sold the Xue family's 6,000 acres of mountains and forests at a price of 3,900 taels.

Now collect 1,500 taels of silver from the Xue family, assign 2,000 acres of mountains and forests to them first, and wait for mid-June, after receiving more than 2,400 taels from the Xue family, and then row the remaining 4,000 acres of land.

Of course, he also 'repaid grievances with virtue' for the five 'traitors' to win more opportunities for the Xue family to work, and made a small pit for Jiang Qianyue and the two.

In fact, whether this silver is sold more or less, it has nothing to do with him as a pavilion chief, and the silver is all taken away by the imperial court.

But this mountain forest was sold from his hands, and the bottom line of this price was set above, and he couldn't break the bottom line at will, otherwise he would be suspected of enriching his own pockets, and it would also affect his political performance.

But if you win the opportunity to work for so many villagers, this political achievement is better than selling mountains and forests.

Don't look at the appearance that he is arguing with them, what he really wants to fight for in his heart is not what the price is, but how much work the Xue family can give.

The final result is naturally satisfactory to all parties.

After negotiating the price, the pavilion chief opened the back door for the Xue family again, dealt with all the follow-up issues on the same day, and asked the Xue family to sign a contract with several Li Zheng, and he also acted as an intermediary.

After that, I just waited for the county magistrate to give instructions.

Before Jiang Qianyue and the others left, they only heard the pavilion chief tease with them, "I'm really looking forward to the day when your Xue family will buy back all our thousands of acres of mountains and forests." ”

Jiang Qianyue also replied with a smile on her face, "The folk girl is also looking forward to this day and can make more contributions to the town." ”

There was Li Zheng on the side, "The pavilion can be relieved, hasn't the Xue family already bought one hundred and ten hectares, and if they are given more than ten years, maybe they can really give it to Bao Yuan." ”

I only heard the pavilion chief laugh, "If that's the case, the old man will definitely give you the lowest price." ”

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, our entire Xinwen Town will be blessed."

"No, it's going to take a lot of labor."

A group of people, you and I talked happily until everyone left.

Jiang Qianyue's operation directly left the Xue family with at least three hundred taels of silver.

Otherwise, with the pavilion chief's 'slashing strength', it is impossible to take down a thousand acres of land without seven hundred taels of silver.

Moreover, the 6,000 acres of land that were originally to be purchased separately were completed at one time, and the next time they only needed to pay the silver to get the title deed, and they did not need to buy it again.

The pavilion chief also promised that this time he would give all the 6,000 acres of mountains and forests to the Xue family, just waiting for when they would pay the silver.

And this move also directly solved the recruitment problem for the Xue family in the future.

It also avoids that they will have to recruit people from village to village in the future.

You don't even need them to say hello, you will recruit good people in advance.

It's a three-story solution.
