Chapter 743: Enclosure Boom
Outside the county office.
Song Qingyuan, Song Qingmo walked out, and a figure came over to her, and when she looked at it, it turned out to be Liu You.
He was dressed gorgeously, his waist was a little straighter, and he was a lot more confident.
If it was far away, Song Qingyuan almost didn't recognize it.
"Uncle Liu! Long time no see. Song Qingyuan greeted with a smile.
"Song ...... Miss Song. Liu You paused.
looked at Song Qingyuan's eyes with a flicker, "Miss Song, is this coming to the Yamen to find Song County?" ”
"Yes!" Song Qingyuan nodded, "Uncle Liu is here to do business?" ”
"Ahh Yes...... I'm looking for the prefectural magistrate. Liu You said hesitantly, with shame in his eyes.
The Song family used to be his owner, and later made Liu Mei make trouble......
"Alas!" Liu You sighed lowly, he now has no face to see the Song family.
"Uncle Liu, let's go first." Song Qingyuan said softly.
"Alas!" Liu You hurriedly responded.
After taking two steps, Song Qingyuan suddenly spoke, "Although the pavilion in the sky is gorgeous, it is always frightened, so it is better to be down-to-earth and feel at ease." ”
"Uncle Liu, let's do it for yourself!"
Hearing this, Liu You's breathing stagnated, and he stood in place in a daze.
What he is doing now is not good, he knows it in his heart, but he can't help himself, he has to do it, all of which is to make trouble for the poor.
If you have money, who wants to be a bad person, Liu You laughed miserably.
Straighten up his clothes and strode into the yamen.
…………
A few days later, Mr. Song investigated the results.
It turned out that Zhao County ordered someone to find someone, dumped the grain, and sold it to other counties at a price of eight cents.
But if you know it, Old Man Song didn't catch the substantive evidence, and he really couldn't take Zhao County's order for a while.
At this time, Erlang's grain caravan also rushed back.
"There were also small fluctuations in grain prices in the north, but fortunately, I got acquainted with a few people over there, found a relationship, and collected the cornmeal at the price of five cents a catty."
Erlang said, pouring himself a cup of tea, "How is the family doing during this time, is the disaster relief going well?" ”
"Make do!" Song Qingyuan replied softly.
"Improvised?"
Erlang was puzzled, "Smooth is smooth, not smooth is not smooth, what does it mean, isn't someone looking for trouble?" ”
"It's impossible to talk about trouble, it's just that there was a problem with food prices some time ago."
Song Qingyuan learned the whole story.
After hearing this, Erlang pouted, "It's all profiteers, sitting on the ground and starting the price, if it were me, I would do the same!" ”
"Isn't there no treachery, no business!"
"It's time for us to open a grain store." Jiro suggested.
"With a grain store, our family will not have to worry about running out of food to eat in the midst of disasters."
Song Qingyuan nodded, her second brother has finally learned to grow, and it is not bad to think of this step.
She also has plans to open a grain store, in this war-torn and precarious era, she can not panic when she has food in her hands.
"When the autumn harvest comes, our family will collect grain, not to mention much, and we must have at least three years of grain in our hands."
"In this way, you can attack and retreat." Song Qingyuan said.
"Moreover, this time we will use work for relief, hire disaster victims to open up wasteland, and when all the wasteland is cleared, the land in our hands will increase by at least a few thousand acres."
"With the yield of these thousands of acres, we can feed many people."
"Then take the opportunity to open more!" Erlang cocked his legs, "How many acres of land did you enclose before?" ”
"Three thousand acres!" Song Qingyuan stretched out three fingers.
"Add two thousand!" Erlang said boldly, "Silver, I'll give it!" ”
"With these 5,000 acres of land, our family can be regarded as a small landlord."
"Of course!" Song Qingyuan smiled.
A few hundred acres of land can be regarded as a small landlord, and if they really open up 5,000 acres of land, then they can be regarded as a medium landlord.
As for the real big landlord, it needs thousands of hectares of fertile land, and she can't do it for the time being, not even the mantissa of others.
Then, Song Qingyuan talked about the resale of grain in the county order, which was also regarded as a wake-up call for his family.
After hearing Erlang, he raised his eyebrows, "Master can't find evidence?" ”
"It can't be said that there is no evidence." Song Qingyuan shook his head, "It's all human evidence, no physical evidence." ”
"But in this situation, who wants to offend the county order and come out to testify to us!"
"What's more, it's not appropriate to pull Zhao County Commander off the horse now, if you have physical evidence, you can hold it in your hand, wait for the opportunity, and defeat it in one fell swoop."
The corners of Erlang's mouth hooked, revealing his signature ruffian smile.
"Leave this matter to me, and I'll solve it with physical evidence."
"You're going to solve it?" Song Qingyuan was surprised, "How do you want to solve it?" ”
There are many ways for the little gangsters to do so, but he is afraid that Erlang will not follow the right path, but will be caught by others.
"You don't want to falsify evidence!" Song Qingyuan couldn't help but worry.
Jiro shook his head, "Who is your brother?" ”
"He's done it all, do I need to falsify evidence!"
"You wait!" Jiro smiled mysteriously.
After that, no matter how Song Qingyuan asked, Erlang kept his mouth shut, and only told her to wait for the result.
The next day in Song Qingyuan, Erlang took two thousand taels of silver to the county government to enclose the land, and happened to meet Chen Sanjin who came to the county office.
"Boss Chen, don't come unharmed!" Song Qingyuan's brother and sister shouted at the same time.
Chen Sanjin arched his hand, "Brother Xiaowu, Miss Yuan'er, are you here to find the county?" ”
The two shook their heads, "Let's enclose the land." "It's not a secret in itself, and there's no need to hide it.
"Boss Chen, this is ......," Song Qingyuan asked.
"Haha! Ha ha! Chen Sanjin laughed loudly.
"This is really a coincidence, my purpose is the same as the two of you, I am also here to enclose the land."
Also come to the enclosure? Song Qingyuan and Erlang glanced at each other, which place is Chen Sanjin's circle.
Seeing that the two of them were puzzled, Chen Sanjin smiled and stretched out his hand, "The two of you will know when you go in!" ”
The brother and sister raised eyebrows at the same time.
Erlang patted Song Qingyuan on the shoulder, "Let's go, then let's go in and have a look." He walked in.
But as soon as they arrived in the hall, the two were stunned at the same time.
What is the situation, how can there be so many people, it is as noisy as a vegetable market.
"What's going on?" Song Qingyuan knocked on the table in front of the little official.
The little official looked up and immediately stood up, "I've seen Song Nongnu." ”
Song Qingyuan swept away, "Who are these people?" ”
"Back to the peasant girls, these are all rich families who came to the yamen to enclose the land."
It's all enclosure!
Song Qingyuan moved his fingers, "Are you here to encircle the wasteland?" ”
"Yes!" The little official nodded, "These are all here to enclose the land." ”
"That boss Wang over there......" the little official pointed to Wang Yuyan's father, "he just circled two hundred acres near the small fishing village." ”
"And this, Boss Chen, who opened a grain store, he circled 300 acres near Dashi Village."
"This Boss Lin runs a pawnshop and has encircled a hundred acres near our county."
"This! The! The! ”
The little official introduced them one by one
Most of these people are hundreds of acres, and the least is dozens of acres, in short, all of them come to enclose land.
"Peasant girl, do you want to pick the second son first?"
The little official put a drawing in Song Qingyuan and Erlang's hands, and stretched out his hand to point, "The ones that don't have horizontal bars drawn on them are all wasteland, you two take a look?" ”
"You have to choose quickly, if you choose late, the good places will be picked away." The little official blinked and lowered his voice, and directly opened the back door for Erlang and Song Yuan.
Erlang took the map and swept it at will, not wanting to take this money, and directly circled 2,000 acres near Fukuzawa.
I paid the money and got the title deed.
Before leaving, he asked Chen Sanjin, "How much is Boss Chen going to sign?" ”
Chen Sanjin smiled, "Brother Xiaowu, the Yuan'er girl is rich, and the three golds can't be compared!" ”
"But if it's two or three thousand acres, the Chen family can still do it."
Erlang hooked the corners of his mouth and arched his hand, "Wishing you prosperity!" ”
After speaking, he and Song Qingyuan turned around and left the county office.
