Chen Linxiao is not at home today, Chen Xiaoshu naturally can't leave, there must be one of the two main families who is there to watch, right?

The foundations of the nine rooms in the backyard have been laid, and the brick houses are built much faster than the adobe houses, and the walls are now waist-high, and the workers are in full swing, and it is estimated that the houses will be built in ten days.

Chen Xiaoshu went to the carpenter's work place to take a look, and it was also carried out in an orderly manner.

All in all, it is entirely possible to move into a new house before this winter, after all, there is no formaldehyde or anything now, as long as the house is covered and ventilated for a few days, you can live in it.

Chen Xiaoshu looked at all the people working in the front yard and the backyard, added teacups to everyone, and saw a donkey cart parked at the door, and Chen Linxiao and Brother Fan got out of the car with smiles on their faces.

"Didn't we ask Brother Fan to help us pay attention to who wants to sell the land? There's news today. ”

Chen Linxiao said to Chen Xiaoshu, Chen Xiaoshu was also very happy when he heard this, in ancient life, Shinong industry and commerce was a difficult class to overcome, even if this dynasty did not prohibit the imperial examination of the son of a merchant, but the merchant was still not so safe after all.

In the absence of perfect industrial and commercial law protection, a big businessman without a background is like a big fat pig, at the mercy of others, but the land is different, and the stability and security of the land are far higher than that of the merchants.

Chen Xiaoshu has a very clear plan for the future, land will be the foundation of their future life, business is a means to accumulate wealth, Chen Linxiao is determined to take the imperial examination, which is the way for them to develop upward.

Fan Beishan took a sip of tea and said: "It's a coincidence that this thing is a coincidence, I have a friend, he is doing business with Zhongren, I heard him say that it is the people of Xiao'an Village who sell the land, and it is next to your Sanhe Village, fifteen acres of land are connected together, all of them are high-quality fields, and the seller asks for seventy-five taels of silver." ”

Chen Xiaoshu was overjoyed when he heard this, the field can be divided into three grades, the high-grade field is generally five taels and one acre, the medium is four taels of silver, and the inferior is three taels of silver, and the specific price is also slightly fluctuating according to the location of the field, whether there is a water source nearby and other factors.

However, fifteen taels of fine land connected together cost seventy-five taels of silver, which can be said to be a very cost-effective deal.

But it is still necessary to be cautious about such a major matter as buying an industry, Chen Xiaoshu asked again: "A family that can have fifteen acres of land is considered a solid family, why do you suddenly have to sell the land, and at this price, to be honest, if they ask for eighty taels of silver, someone will buy it." ”

Fan Beishan nodded and said, "That's what I'm going to tell you next."

The family's life in Xiao'an Village is also good, but there is a loser on the stall, this eats, drinks, prostitutes and gambles are proficient, the son of this family owes the gambling house sixty taels of silver a few days ago, and the gambling house gave a deadline for changing money, saying that if it can't be changed in a few days, they will take away all their land, and the family is in a hurry to sell the land, and sell more than 70 taels at least their own family has more than 10 taels of silver left. ”

Chen Xiaoshu understood the ins and outs and said, "So that's the case." ”

I was worried that there would be trouble in contacting the gamblers in the future, but when I thought about it, when I bought the land, I would have to change the red deed, even if they wanted to cheat, they had nowhere to start, so I said: "Thank you Brother Fan." ”

Fan Beishan waved his hand and said, "Thank you, I and Little Brother Chen are old friends." ”

Chen Xiaoshu glanced at Chen Linxiao, this person is really good, he has only known Fan Beishan for a long time, and he has developed to the point of forgetting the New Year, Chen Linxiao understood the meaning in Chen Xiaoshu's eyes, gave her a snorting look, and said to Fan Beishan: "Then please ask Brother Fan to take us to see." ”

Fan Beishan put down the teacup and said, "Of course, it just so happens that my friend is also in Xiao'an Village now, let's go now." ”

Chen Xiaoshu nodded, went out and explained a few words to the talented sister-in-law, the talented sister-in-law nodded again and again, and Chen Xiaoshu put his mind at ease and followed Fan Beishan.

Xiao'an Village is indeed next to Sanhe Village, just east of Sanhe Village, the fields of the two villages are also next to each other, but there is a boundary monument in the middle, not long after this boundary monument, I saw a few people standing on the ground.

"Here we are."

Fan Beishan said softly.

After getting out of the car, Chen Xiaoshu looked at these people without a trace, a man in his thirties, wearing a green coat, his hair was neatly combed, and he had a kind smile on his face.

As for the rest, a gray-haired old man, a young man who has lost his soul, should be the seller.

"Zhong Shan, this is the little brother Chen I mentioned to you, and this is his wife." Fan Beishan introduced, "Lin Xiao, Chen Xiaoniang, this is my friend Wu Zhongshan, he is one of the best in our Qingniu Town, if you buy a field shop in the future, just look for him." ”

Wu Zhongshan smiled and arched his hand when he heard this: "I have long heard the names of Brother Chen and Mrs. Chen from Brother Fan, and I dare not be one of the best in Qingniu Town, but if you need to use Wu in the future, just say hello, I guarantee that you will not suffer a loss." ”

Chen Linxiao chuckled and bowed back: "Brother Wu is too modest, Brother Fan has always been extremely visionary, and those who can be regarded as close friends by Brother Fan must not be ordinary people, so please ask Brother Wu today." ”

Today I came to buy land, and they didn't want to keep greeting in front of the seller, so Wu Zhongshan pointed to the old man and said: "This is today's seller, you just call him An Laozhang." Mr. An's field has a total of 15 acres, and now he wants to sell it, and he asked the relatives and neighbors in the village, but there is nothing to buy, so he found me to help him find a buyer. ”

According to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, if a common person wants to sell land, he must first ask his relatives and neighbors, and if they don't buy it, they can sell it to others.

It is also another protection of the patriarchal system.

Uncle An barely squeezed out a smile to say hello, and as for the rest of the person, Wu Zhongshan did not introduce it.

Chen Xiaoshu and Chen Linxiao didn't ask, and no one wanted to deal with a gambler.

"This is Uncle An's field, from this under our feet to that side, even under the big tree." Wu Zhongshan stomped the ground under his feet.

Mr. An said on the side: "They are all high-quality fields, and they are carefully served every year, if it weren't for ······ Alas····· I was reluctant to sell it. ”

Wu Zhongshan smiled when he heard this: "Uncle An, don't think about it, as the saying goes, if the old doesn't go, the new doesn't come, if you sell these fifteen acres, maybe you will have to buy thirty acres in the future, and then the younger generations will rely on you to enjoy food." ”

Wu Zhongshan's mouth will really say, but if he will say it again, Mr. An's face will not get better, because he knows that if he sells the fifteen acres of ancestral property, the An family will be completely defeated, and it will be difficult to turn over in the future~

Chen Xiaoshu walked and saw a well, and asked, "Uncle, does this well also belong to your field?" ”

When Mr. An heard Chen Xiaoshu's question, he cheered up and said: "You said that well, that well is not our home, but it is very close to our home, and it is very convenient to use." ”

"So the well is ownerless?"

Chen Xiaoshu asked thoughtfully.

Mr. An nodded and said, "Exactly, this well is at the head of my house, and our house is far away from the village, so we usually only have the water in this well for our family." ”

Chen Xiaoshu nodded, neither she nor Chen Linxiao knew how to farm, but they could still see whether the food in the field was good or not.

Chen Linxiao walked to the other side of the ground to take a look, and came back and nodded at Chen Xiaoshu.

Chen Xiaoshu asked again: "The autumn harvest is coming soon, and the grain in this field is almost ripe, who does the grain in this field belong to?" ”

Uncle An's heart immediately hung up, and Wu Zhongshan laughed twice and said: "Mrs. Chen, according to our rules here, the grain in this field is almost ripe, and it will be returned to the original owner, after all, people have worked hard for a season, right?" ”

Chen Xiaoshu nodded, this is understandable, after all, seventy-five taels of silver is indeed just the money to buy land.

Chen Xiaoshu whispered a few words in Chen Linxiao's ear, Chen Linxiao nodded, and said to Wu Zhongshan: "Brother Wu, let's take a step to speak." ”

Uncle An's heart hung up when he saw it, and Chen Xiaoshu didn't explain anything to him, and asked him about the field again.

The grain in this field is indeed growing well, but it can be seen that Mr. An is indeed a person who cherishes the field very much, but he must be very uncomfortable now.
