Chapter 821: True Gentleman
If this beautiful prospect is just a little moving.
What really moved him was what Song Chongjin said, if it is true that the tea can be transplanted and lived, when the tea leaves in Qilidun grow, Wang Yongzhu will naturally have a way to sell the tea.
If the quality of the tea is good and it becomes a famous tea, this Qilidun will be famous.
His contribution to this time is not small, and he can't say that he can still leave a good name in the county annals.
In the future, when future generations talk about it, their family can be regarded as a famous family. The most important thing is that this kind of good name, for Li Zheng's son, if he really wants to take the road of the imperial examination, it is a big help.
Just this one, it made Li Zheng really moved.
Their family is now not short of food and clothing, he is still in the right, and he is also highly respected in Qilidun, and if he doesn't say a word, there are few people who oppose it.
Ordinary country men, mixed to this point, then contentment.
Ke Li Zheng is not such an easily satisfied person, his son Li Zhidong is still a little talented in reading, he also made up his mind to give his son out, and in the future, he will be admitted to Xiucai, and raise people, if he is lucky, he can have an official and a half-job, and their Li family can be regarded as flying out of the farm, and they can be said to be a scholar in the future.
Now that it is a peaceful and prosperous era, it is natural that readers will be more valuable in the future.
As long as his son is admitted to the examination, he will not have to work hard in the field in the future, and he will be like the people in the city.
Besides, men, who doesn't have a little bit of ambition?
Being able to leave a name on the county chronicle, for Li Zheng, it was out of reach in the past, but now it seems that he can get it at his fingertips, and Li Zheng has to fight for what to say.
Therefore, in front of the documents, it was also quite measured, and in a few words, he first raised Song Chongjin and Wang Yongzhu high, and held himself up without a trace.
Saying that, his eyes lit up and he patted his thigh: "It's a pity!" It turns out that Brother Song and his wife actually have such a compassionate heart, but it is my villain's heart! If you can really grow tea, not to mention Qilidun, our Shiqiao Town will also be very beneficial in the future! ”
Since ancient times, tea and salt have been abundant, and it is bound to become an important town.
If the real Qilidun can produce tea, there are a large number of mountain goods, and the second is tea, and the prosperity of Shiqiao Town is just around the corner.
Wen Wen and Li Zheng were both attracted by a big cake drawn by Song Chongjin, and couldn't help but think of a bright future.
Over there, Wang Yonggui told Wang Yongping all the way: "When you measure for a while, take two more steps outside the place your brother-in-law pointed out." ”
Wang Yongping touched the back of his head and smiled silly, "Third brother, what do you mean?" ”
Villagers, it is common for them to secretly build two more feet outside the painted homestead.
Not to mention, if the fields of the two families are next to each other, it will be that I will dig two more shovels this year, and three more shovels next year, which is a tacit thing.
Now that such a big mountain, just thinking about how much silver Wang Yongzhu has to pay, Wang Yongping also feels that it is not cost-effective to draw more places to come in.
nodded violently at the moment: "Third brother, don't worry!" I can do it! ”
Song Chongjin listened to it and couldn't laugh or cry.
This great black mountain is located in the middle of nowhere, and it is not worth much.
However, he still understood the intentions of the two brothers-in-law.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the ground, the three of them each went in a direction and went their separate ways.
Nowadays, the method of measuring is very simple, measuring in steps, 240 steps for one acre.
With the footsteps of three people, after measuring this mountain, including the valley flatland, woods, and rivers in front, all of them are counted in it, and it is roughly estimated that it is about 150 hectares.
If this is good land, 150 hectares is equivalent to 15,000 acres, then it will be made.
But for the mountains and forests, this is just a small hill.
The clerk waited until it was almost dark before he saw Song Chongjin and the Wang brothers coming out of the mountains and forests.
didn't bother to say more, and the five of them immediately turned back to Qilidun.
After resting for a long time, he finally had some strength, and waited for their efforts, and gnawed on the steamed buns and meat sauce he carried, and his stomach was not hungry.
In addition, the heart is like an arrow, and the sky is darkened, for fear that as soon as it gets dark, those fierce beasts in the mountains and forests will come out and take themselves back.
The foot is also fast.
It took two hours to come up slowly, and it took only an hour to get home when I went down the mountain.
Mrs. Zhang and Wang Yongzhu had already prepared hot water, and as soon as they arrived home, they were busy letting them wash up first.
After washing the paperwork and changing into the clothes I brought, I felt alive.
Song Chongjin and the others are already waiting for the document to come out, and they will say the number of steps measured, where they will start and where they will end, and the obvious landmark position corresponding to the direction.
The pen filled a piece of paper.
Before I had time to calculate, I was beckoned to dinner.
The dinner was also very rich, and he toasted the clerk with a few glasses of wine, and the clerk who was too strong to drink collapsed.
When I woke up the next day, it was already daylight.
The clerk slept very sweetly this night, and he was full of energy when he woke up.
Looking at the paper on the table where the data was recorded yesterday, it was still in its original position, and there was no trace of turning it.
The clerk nodded secretly in his heart, and his evaluation of Song Chongjin and Wang Yongzhu was a few points higher.
I calculated the data one by one, and carefully checked whether there were any iconic trees or rocks nearby, or the bends of the river, and so on.
In the end, it was easily nearly 150 hectares of mountains and forests, which was calculated as 135 tilts.
Song Chongjin and Wang Yongzhu received the final approved figures, and there was something they didn't understand in their hearts.
Solemnly thanked him, and personally drove the carriage to deliver the documents to the town's home, of course, along with the arrival of the home, there are also large bags of mountain specialties.
Put the things in the clerk's house, and then go to the yamen, according to the area measured by the clerk, one hundred and thirty-five hectares, which is considered a barren mountain.
Now is the prosperous age, and it is the time to encourage the reclamation of barren mountains and a variety of grains.
There are all kinds of preferential treatments, like Song Chongjin and others who bought barren mountains, according to the instructions issued by the household department to various places, within three years to open up the wasteland, the developed wasteland is owned by the pioneers. Moreover, the tax on the barren mountain is also low, and the tax is exempt for the first three years.
In this way, plus the clerk said some good things in it, the rest of the people also know that Song Chongjin is a showman, and he will not be able to raise people in the future, or even jinshi, or be an official.
Adhering to the idea of forming a good fate, I can't say that I will ask for someone else's name that day, so why be embarrassed and serious about such a trivial matter? Anyway, no one buys this barren mountain wherever it is lost, and it is a little bit that can be sold.
They all raised their hands gently, and there was a very tacit understanding, and in the end, only one hundred hectares of area was approved, and they were sold to Song Chongjin for five hundred taels of silver.
At the moment, he wrote the official deed of Dahong, and when he was filling in his name, he was about to write Song Chongjin's name, but he stopped him.
Secretly stuffed a silver or two lines of silver to the document that wrote the official deed: "Please write the name of my lady, the silver to buy the mountains and forests is earned by her, so naturally you can't write my name!" ”
After hearing a few documents, they looked at Song Chongjin's eyes with a little respect, even if this is a barren mountain, it is also a few hundred taels of silver, not to mention anything else, the mountain goods produced in the mountains can be sold for some money every year.
I wasn't tempted at all! Sure enough, he is a true gentleman!
The clerk pinched the silver, happily changed the name to Wang Yongzhu, and finally stamped the official seal, and recorded it in the document, everything was settled, and the mountains and forests of one hundred and fifty hectares completely belonged to Wang Yongzhu.
