The elder understood that Hua Lan must have done something to split the eldest and the second child, but he didn't break it, sighed, and came to the Westinghouse with Hua Lan.

Hua Lan asked the elder to take a seat, and asked Hua San to go out and make a pot of tea.

Hua San didn't bring tea into the door when he went out, it wasn't big, and Miss Jinse came in with a pot of tea with a smile.

She silently walked to the table, dignified her jade-like fingertips and poured a cup of tea for the elder, placed it in front of him, and then sat opposite the two with a slight smile.

Jin Se has a peerless face, and her smile has the power to melt all things, and of course it also makes the elder's heart move.

"The little boy took such a beautiful girl out, you must be careful."

The elder's worry moved Hua Lan's heart, "Thank you Elder, Hua Lan is careful in this matter, but Hua has something to ask the elder." ”

"Little boy, please speak!"

The elder took a sip of tea very politely and smiled kindly.

There is no good tea in the mountains, and this tea was bought by the spring silkworms at the most famous red pinkaku in Kyoto's castle forest. This taste can only be drunk by royal relatives and nobles.

The fragrance of the tea was overflowing, the lips and teeth were sweet, and the elder suddenly understood the difference in the identity of the person who came.

He didn't move, his eyes looked at Hua Lan subtly.

"Hua wants to know how many acres of land there is in our village, and how many owners of this family's yard are?"

Hua Lan is delicate, and this subtle change has already been noticed. What she wanted was this subtle and unspoken feeling, and she took the opportunity to say: "Hua has no intention of affecting the lives of the two old people, since it has caused trouble, I want to do my best to make up for it." ”

"Oh!"

The elder understood, and he carefully stretched out his hand and calculated for a while: "The fields in the village are all developed by each family themselves, and there is really no statistics on how many there will be. When our stone village was established, there were only three households, and over the years it has increased to eighteen households today. It's all because the surrounding soil is good and there is a lot of game in the mountains. ”

"The bandits are all in the depths of the Tai'an Mountains, and they don't pay attention to Murakami. The little boy rested with confidence, the two friends and the rich couple originally reclaimed ten acres of land, and later the eldest and the second child wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, so they saved some money to buy ten acres of land for the old Zhao family, and divided it equally between the eldest and the second. Now the old couple has no acres of land in their names. There is only a yard of about one acre in the backyard. ”

The elder sighed incessantly, "Youfu and his family have no way back, thinking that the two sons will be filial if they marry their daughter-in-law, but who expected that they would marry such a pungent daughter-in-law." Not only did he not pull out a dime, but he also often came to the door to search for friends and rich people. Alas, these two people are really miserable. ”

The two elders pinned their hopes on their children, but unfortunately this hope turned into two big holes that filled their desires, making the two old men deeply trapped in it and unable to extricate themselves.

"How many years will it take to get through this day? Youfu and his family are honest people, and there is really nothing they can do but sulk. These things are no longer a head. The two of them have worked hard for most of their lives, and when they are old, they are still suffering from their children's nests, and the two of them are really hard. Alas! ”

The elder felt the same way, and sighed.

Hua Lan asked: "How much silver does the field in the village cost per acre?" ”

"Before, it was ten taels of silver per mu, not last year, the wasteland on the eastern slope was also opened, and there are not many places around the land that can be opened, and the land is expensive, and now if you want to buy it, you have to use twenty taels of silver per mu."

As the elder spoke, he suddenly became puzzled: "Why did the little boy ask this, is he planning to buy land?" Stone Village is far away from the town. It's very remote here, and if it's not for the residents of the village, it's useless for the little boy to buy it. It's a pity for these good fields. ”

"In this way, Murakami still has land to buy."

When Hua Lan heard this, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "I don't know if the elder can make the decision, Hua plans to buy a hundred acres of land in the village." ”

"A hundred acres?"

The elder's face wrinkled, "A hundred acres of land, don't think about it, the young man still can't buy it." The cultivated land reclaimed around us is only more than 300 acres, and the people with the most people in the village do not have more than 20 or 30 acres. If they are all sold to the young son, how will Murakami live in the future, this is absolutely impossible. ”

"It's all easy to do."

Hua Lan didn't flinch, but took the opportunity to say, "Elder, you probably misunderstood. That's the case, Hua's plan is to buy 100 acres of land and then sublease it to the villagers. The villagers only need to pay some rice or silver taels at the end of the year, and they can continue to rent crops. So they received the money, and they did not lose their land. After a number of years, they can also redeem the land with the title deed. ”

"Little boy, this method? - Good is good, but?

The elder pondered seriously, he didn't understand what the young man in front of him was doing, didn't he take the silver out and give the villagers a cheap price?

He looked at Hua Lan in confusion: "Young boy, aren't you a loss like this?" ”
