"Did you lose it?"

Hua Lan smiled, if you plan for a long time, you will not lose money by buying these fields, after all, these fields will eventually be taken back by the villagers. Of course, her plan is after the death of the second elder Li Youfu.

So, he explained: "Hua bought these fields and was taken care of by Uncle Li and his wife, and the elder was a guarantor to supervise them. The insurer's premium is one-tenth of the rent of these fields, and the cost of caring for Mr. and Mrs. Li is four-tenths of the rent.

For these rents, Hua plans to charge only 50 yuan per mu per year, and these fees are greatly relaxed for tenants. ”

Five taels of silver, in a remote mountain village, can be regarded as a large amount of income.

And Hua Lan thought thoughtfully, twenty taels of silver was enough for Li Youfu and his wife to live a peaceful and prosperous life in their old age.

She is not a loss, anyway, the money spent can be recovered, and the interest rate is not a loss.

Hua Lan looked at the elder sincerely, he was contradictory to the ideological struggle.

The elder understood that the young man in front of him was doing a good deed, and after a while, he nodded and agreed: "That's okay, I'll go to the villagers to discuss." ”

"Since the elder has agreed, Hua has one more thing to ask you for."

Hua Lan added: "The rent of the fields can be replaced by harvested rice or other food. But these are all sold by the elders for cash. Moreover, the care fees of Uncle Li and Uncle Li are to be kept by the elders, and no one else can embezzle them at will. Unless two elderly people agree to use it without any coercion. ”

Hua Lan deliberately bit "no one else can embezzle" very hard, and the elder certainly understood that this was to ask him to pay attention to guarding against Li Youfu's two sons and daughter-in-law.

"Little boy, so thoughtful and meticulous, the old man is really ashamed."

Understanding Hua Lan's deliberate arrangement, the elder wiped two handfuls of tears excitedly: "When Li Youfu meets the little boy, he can be regarded as meeting a nobleman." The little boy has a heart, and the old man will support him to the end. ”

He nodded, boiled his cane and hurried away.

Hua Lan had eaten half of her dinner, and as soon as the elder left, she remembered that she was hungry.

I walked out of the house and into the courtyard, where the surroundings of the small courtyard were already quiet.

The spring silkworm reheated the meal, and everyone sat down in the bright moonlight again and began to eat.

On a bright moonlit night, the cool autumn breeze floats.

The harmonious courtyard began to flutter and warm, and the hearts of Li Youfu and his family slowly returned to their stomachs. Their worst fears were solved, and for the first time in eight years, they had a calm and hearty dinner with their guests.

"The master said that this ham was kept by the elder for the second elder. When he wanted to eat, the old man went to the elder's house to cut it. If there is something difficult, you will take the letter and go to Kyoto City to find Hanafu. My master is famous. When you arrive in Kyoto City, you can ask casually.

If you don't like living here, you can go to Kyoto City to find us. The master said that the old man and the old woman are welcome to come at any time, and the flower house can be lively, and there is a happy old man......"

The spring silkworms were chirping at the dinner table, and there was a harmonious laughter at the dinner table.

When Hua Lan was eating, the elders gathered all the families together.

He briefly introduced Hua Lan's idea to the villagers, and the eyes of the dozen or so families were straight.

What, twenty taels of silver per acre of land, each mu only charges a rent of fifty wen a year. You can also use rice and grain as collateral, is this little boy stupid? Isn't this the world dropped a big pie in Stone Village?

As soon as the elder said this, the whole village exploded.

The village has a total of 367 acres of land, except for the eldest and second who did not come, almost squeezed their heads to sell.

One acre of land is twenty taels, ten acres of land is two hundred taels of silver, and if there are thirty acres of land at home, this is six hundred taels of silver.

What is the concept of six hundred taels of silver, this is a few houses that can be bought in a small town. With a house, future children and grandchildren can live in the town and go to school to read and write. If the child has a future, maybe he will be able to be admitted to the official in the future, but won't the family be developed from now on?

Each family has a small abacus, and you have to sell their fields to Hua Lan.

The elder had no choice but to run back to the Li family's courtyard and tell Hua Lan what had happened.

Hua Lan didn't expect things to go so smoothly, if she bought all the fields in Stone Village, Li Youfu and the elders would have more success, of course she was very happy.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, it's all up to the elders." We wrote the deed for each family, and you were the guarantor, and the fingerprints were pressed. Hua immediately cashed out the silver taels to everyone. “

She thought again: "However, the land that Hua wants to buy cannot include the two sons and daughter-in-law of Uncle Li's family. Elders, please let me know. If Xiang Yaohua buys their land, he must make a separate contract stating that he is not allowed to disturb Uncle Li's life for no reason. It is limited to ten years, and if they perform well in one year, Hua will receive one acre of land from them. ”

Hua Lan's trick is amazing! If you want silver, the eldest and the second couple have to honestly honor the two old men; If she doesn't want the silver, she also has a trick, and the money is kept in the hands of the elders, and if the elders don't give it, they will make trouble in vain. What's more, Hua Lan explained the elder's method of subduing them, which was to report to the official.

The one who said that the mountains of Shuitou Village are high and the emperor is far away, can the people from the government go?

Don't worry, Hua Lan's words are well-founded, because just when she was discussing with the elders, a pair of people appeared at the entrance of the village, led by the majestic and heroic King Shou'an.

"See? The tall man on the horse, but he was a big official! Unless the magistrate doesn't have a head, if you ask him for something, he will definitely give it. After taking this thing, Zhizhou also had to be scared half to death. ”

"What is this?"

The elder has lived in Stone Village for several lifetimes, and the biggest person is when he goes to the county government to see the county lord. The guan who is bigger than the county, what kind of official is it, it must be bigger than the sky!

He immediately anointed oil under his feet to meet King Shou'an, and knelt down and saluted: "The villain is Ouyang Ke, the elder of Stone Village, I don't know that the adult has come from afar, and he has never greeted him from afar, please forgive me." ”

Ouyang Ke?

Hua Lan almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of old blood.

What the hell is Ouyang Ke? Can you drink Ouyang Feng's toad skills?

She stared widely, suspiciously as King Shou'an turned over and jumped off the horse, stepped forward to help the elder, and glanced at her with sharp eyes.

Hua Lan shrugged her shoulders, showed a treacherous smile, stepped forward with square steps, and hooked the corners of her lips: "Hua Mou told the elder that the eldest prince's identity is special, but the elder just didn't believe it, so he wanted the eldest prince to come up with any evidence, so that the surrounding petty officials would not dare to bend the law for personal gain and be lazy and not work." The eldest prince is wise and decisive, and he doesn't rub sand in his eyes, so please cooperate with the eldest prince, right? ”

"Cooperate with what?"

King Shou'an's eyes flashed cold, and his face was cold and cold towards Hua Lan, glaring at her fiercely, and asking in a low voice, "Niangniang, what are you going to do?" ”

"Isn't it? Should you be stingy about this little thing? ”

Hua Lan scolded, and the muscles on her face squeezed, "If it is said that Hua asks the eldest prince, will the eldest prince agree?" ”

Hua Lan brought out the big signboard of Empress Sheng'an, and King Shou'an was so angry that his mouth was crooked, so he had to ask someone to take a pen and paper to write a few strokes, stamp the imperial seal and hand it to the elders.

The elder took the oracle with the bright red seal, and his hands trembled. He hesitated in his heart, looked at Hua Lan, saw her nodding, hurriedly "plopped" and knelt down, and knocked his head three times.
