Now the magistrate of Dongxi County can't be the master at all, and the prefect of Shuncheng Prefecture is Yao Qiming.

The prefect brought two masters, four officials from the government, and a number of small officials to Dongxi County to supervise the work in person.

If this was not for what had really happened, none of them would have believed that in just three months, Dongxi County would be so lively, and the desolate wilderness under the jurisdiction of Dongxi County would be so sought-after.

Just because there are occasionally a few pieces of black stone in this place, it actually brings such a big income to Dongxi County and Shuncheng Mansion

Looking at the dizzying silver tickets, the records of the sale of wasteland, these lands that were originally given for nothing and no one wanted, someone actually bought them, and the silver taels they received were about enough to cover the taxes of the entire state and county for several years, right?

I don't know if this money is handed over, will it be counted as their official evaluation this year?

In fact, it doesn't matter if it's counted or not, if the evaluation goes up, maybe you will have to be transferred. According to the development momentum of the Wujin Stone Mine, this place will have an output in the future, and it is very fat, and it is not necessarily a good thing to transfer it out.

Also, when the five families came to buy land, the prefect of Dongxi County and the officials who handled the land deed were suspicious. These five families in the capital are all families rooted in the capital, and there must be a reason for coming here to buy land.

Many people, without knowing why, have followed up with a more or less investment. Now seeing that so many people in the capital have come to catch up with the field, the land they bought must have been earned.

Yao Qiming, the prefect of Shuncheng Prefecture, also bought it, but he had to avoid suspicion, and he didn't buy the land in his name, and he didn't dare to buy more, for fear that someone would grab his braid and participate in a book.

The world is impermanent, and the Dongxi County County Office, which used to be a little dilapidated and unwilling to come to, is now stuffed with well-dressed clan stewards, making a lot of noise, and almost lifting the roof of the county government hall.

Looking at such a chaotic scene, Yao Qiming finally couldn't help it, slapped the table vigorously, and shook his painful hand while shaking it, not delaying the business, he stood up in an uproar and shouted: "What's the noise!" If you're so noisy, can you still do this business?! Go back, when will you be able to talk well, and when will you come back again! ”

After speaking, he scolded the official waiting outside the door: "Send them out to this official!" ”

"Yes!" The officials promised very openly, but no one dared to take it seriously. Although they are the lowest people in the yamen, they are not necessarily well-informed. During this time, the people who came in and out of Dongxi County made them have more eyesight.

Although there were businessmen among them, most of them were stewards in the noble mansions of the capital.

Where can these people be fought? They knocked people out on the front foot, and the master of the back foot came to them, although it was the prefect who gave the order, but in the end, it must be them who were the scapegoats.

The officials happily received the order, but after coming in, they were all very cautious and polite, and invited people out in a good voice, what was the fire in the next room was extremely hot, and what room had freshly burned soup and dim sum...... The mouth was dry, and then the uncles were invited out.

"What should I do?" The magistrate of Dongxi County had a bitter face and asked the prefect for advice.

Yao Qiming looked at Master Qian Liang who came with him.

The master saw early in the morning that it would not be a problem to rob like this.

"It's a limited amount, a limited purchase. Today is already like this, the county government will not be working today, first send someone to Dongxi to take a little measurement of the land, to see how much is still available. Each family has a number, and you can buy fifty acres of land. If you want to continue buying, you must queue up again to receive the number. ”

The magistrate of Dongxi County has a sad face, behind those stewards are all big people, how can fifty acres of land be sent to such a family.

Yao Qiming nodded: "The imperial court didn't give us a directive, so we can't let the big clan buy all the land here." No matter where you are, you have to feed some ordinary people. If it were only the families and the rich, how could this land be prosperous? ”

The policy introduced by Dongxi County immediately made the surging people complain, and there was no lack of scolding.

But the magistrate is small, and that is also appointed by the imperial court. If people are not afraid of the powerful, this land is in Renzhi County, not to mention that there is a prefect from the state capital here, and it must be able to hold the field.

Although everyone was reluctant, they had no choice but to do so. Fortunately, after everyone buys it, it can be exchanged, and at most some handling fees for land deeds can be paid to the yamen.

Ladies and gentlemen, I really didn't expect that this kind of purchase restriction clause could actually bring another income, which is really unexpected.

After all, the pattern of Dongxi has not changed, and it is still dominated by five families.

Qingyun Zhai does not have these troubles when buying land, and the shopkeeper Kang came in person this time. He lined up the numbers, and did not compete with others for good lots, but received several numbers in batches, and bought more than 200 acres of land in some places on the edge, but they were all next to each other.

Knowing that it was Qingyun Zhai who bought the land, people really thought about it in depth, is there anything wrong with this land? This is Qingyun Zhai's shot, there is a black gold stone underground? Or is there simply silver buried?

However, after inquiring, I learned that this is to build a glass workshop, because the workshop is large, it is inconvenient to be in the lively area, so the edge area was chosen, and everyone dispelled the idea of following the trend.

When there are more people, there will be more mess. At this time, it was already the winter moon, and it was not the time to buy and sell houses, so each family marked their own sites, and the people withdrew, only to wait for the next year to come back to make detailed plans.

People are gone, but so many people have come here for a while, and they have learned more.

There is no need to go back and forth in the cold and summer, spring planting and autumn harvest, nor do you need to weave hard with a needle and thread, and it does not need to be refined and forged before it can be used like other ores. Here, as long as there are enough people who can dig things up and transport them out, they can be turned into silver.

Can you find such a lucrative thing in this world? Absolutely not found!

The huge interests of Wujin Stone have once again been hotly discussed, and they have begun to spread from Dongxi to the capital, and the topic of Wujin Stone has been discussed by various circles, including many people who want to come to Dongxi to try their luck.

Shao Yi's concern for the safety of the mining area did not happen, but the villages on the outskirts of the mining area and the transportation route caused a stir.

The villages that had signed the written agreement did not repent, but sent representatives from each family to the village chiefs and Li Zheng, hoping that the mining area could distribute some black gold stones to the families of the miners, so that they could survive the cold winter when they lacked middle-aged laborers at home and could not cut enough firewood.

There is nothing wrong with a family making such a request, whether it is agreed or not, it is nothing. Even if it doesn't matter if there are eight out of ten, but there are too many people who come forward to make demands, although not 100%, but eight or nine times out of ten there are.
