Chapter 131 Purchase of Property

Assemble sounds. Father Su glanced at everyone, lowered his eyes slightly, pondered, and said uncertainly, "Maybe it's for the matter of dividing the land." ”

The people in Feng Village are basically gone, and the fertile land is uncultivated.

The land is idle and idle, so the county magistrate distributed the land to the neighboring Zhaojia Village, and the people of Zhaojia Village picked up a "cheap" in this way.

In fact, it is not cheap, because it represents that the people of Zhaojia Village have to pay more food in the autumn, and they have to take care of the land more hard than usual.

However, for the common people, the more land, the better, even if they hand over more grain, they are happy in their hearts, which means that their family will harvest more grain in the autumn than usual.

Su Mu went to the private school, and Su's father, Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er, walked towards the ancestral hall while talking.

When they arrived at the ancestral hall, they found that most of the people in the village had come.

Maybe they all knew what Village Chief Zhao was going to say, and they were all full of joy, and they all gathered together to talk.

Su Jiu'er and Gu Feng saw Ning Yue'er standing not far away, and they were about to step forward to say hello to Ning Yue'er.

"We'll just wait here." Gu Feng took Su Jiu'er's hand and walked to the other side, looking like he was thinking about Su Jiu'er, "There are too many people over there." ”

For Su Jiu'er, children are more important than anything else, as soon as Gu Feng said this, Su Jiu'er hurriedly followed Gu Feng to a place where there were few people and stood there.

After experiencing the attack of the Huns, the people in the village were much friendlier to Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er, and several active brides came to Su Jiu'er and asked about the children with a smile.

Facing the eyes of those brides who envied her pregnancy one by one, Su Jiu'er was very happy in her heart, and the smile on her face was even brighter, comforting them that they would have children soon.

After a while, the people in the village came to the gate of the ancestral hall, and Village Chief Zhao briefly said the land of Feng Village.

In previous years, if such a thing happened, it was divided evenly and impartially.

"We divide the land this year, which is different from usual."

As soon as Village Chief Zhao said this, the villagers lowered their heads and whispered.

"Everyone also knows that it was General Wang who helped us drive the Huns away, but it was just ......" Village Chief Zhao's eyes swept over everyone's faces, his brows furrowed slightly, and he coughed, "The treasury is empty, the saint can't bear to increase taxes, and all the grain and grass in the army are solved by the generals of the army." ”

The people who originally whispered were all silent at the moment, not to mention the side, as long as the word "General Wang" was mentioned, the villagers only had worship and awe in their eyes.

"Our county magistrate knew that the Wang family's army was short of grain and grass, so he thought that he could contribute a point, so he planned to sell the land that was originally going to be divided equally at a low price, and all the silver was given to General Wang." When Village Chief Zhao said this, his throat was a little uncomfortable, he coughed lightly, and then said, "The fertile fields in Zhaojia Village are all fixed, and the money earned is also fixed. ”

"How much is an acre?" Someone asked everyone.

"Half the price of our land." Village Chief Zhao glanced at everyone, "If you want the land, you can go home and get the silver to buy it, and when the time comes, pay the money with one hand and hand over the land deed, just this day, as soon as it gets dark, there will be no such opportunity." The county magistrate said that if this land cannot be sold, he will take back all the land deeds and sell it to the rich people in the town, and there must be many people who are willing to buy it. ”

The discussion below became louder, one by one originally thought that they could do good things, but no one thought that this land would have to be bought with money, it was better not to, after all, they had land on hand, and then reclaimed wasteland in the mountains, and the family could barely maintain food and clothing.

The land allocated by the imperial court was subject to taxes, but the emperor who cultivated his own land did not need to pay taxes.

Everyone couldn't help but retreat one by one, and a few unhappy people left directly on the spot.

Village Chief Zhao didn't say anything, just sighed lamentingly.

Su's father, Zhao clan, Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er walked towards the Gu family, and no one spoke along the way.

Back at Gu's house, Father Su closed the door, and then walked to the kitchen to sit on the side of the little vulture.

"I thought I could spread it on the ground, but I didn't expect to spend money to buy it." Father Su had a dark face and sat on the wall tiredly, "What's the use of buying the land in Feng Village, in case the Huns attack, aren't those crops wasted in vain?" ”

Su Jiu'er and Gu Feng sat at the table, bowing their heads one by one and saying nothing.

"Who's to say it isn't." Zhao carefully washed the handkerchief in the water, wrung it out and wiped the table, and took over the conversation, "It's useless to buy it, you say, will those big families in the town buy it?" ”

Speaking of this, Su Jiu'er vaguely remembered that Zhao Xiu'er's father seemed to have bought all the land in Feng Village.

"Mother, how many acres of land are there in Feng Village?" Su Jiu'er raised her eyes and looked at Zhao with a serious face.

"This ......." Zhao Shi stood up straight, wiped the table casually with the handkerchief in his hand, thought for a long time, and said with some uncertainty, "Our village has more than 800 acres of land, and Feng Village is bigger than ours, and can have thousands of acres of land." ”

So many fields, if you eat them all, it will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, Su Jiu'er pursed her lips unhappily, and her brows frowned unconsciously.

Usually, the upper land is 14 taels and 1 acres, and the land they bought in Feng Village is 7 taels of silver per mu, and 100 acres is 700 taels of silver.

There will definitely not be too many places on the ground in Fengcun, after all, most of them should be medium and low.

"Xianggong, let's buy the land." Su Jiu'er remembered that the Xiongnu had never crossed Liangzhou in the previous life, so there was no need to worry about Fengcun's land being occupied by the Huns.

As soon as Su Jiu'er's words came out, the room was completely quiet, so quiet that even their breathing could be heard clearly.

Zhao Shi listened to Su Jiu'er say that, and the towel in his hand fell on the table in shock, and opened his lips slightly, "Where did you get so much silver?" ”

"How much can you buy." Su Jiu'er said thoughtfully, and her hand unconsciously stroked her already bulging belly, "We have land, and when the time comes, we will rent it to others, and we will wait to collect the rent." ”

Gu Feng pondered it again and again, and felt that what Su Jiu'er said was very reasonable, "That's it, I'll do it now." ”

"Mainly buy upper and middle land, and then buy a few acres of lower land." Su Jiu'er smiled at Gu Fengwan and admonished, "You don't need to keep the money at home, bring it over!" ”

After Gu Feng said this, he turned around and entered the house, put the money bag in his arms and went out.

Father Su and Zhao looked blankly at Gu Feng's back as he went out, until Gu Feng's back disappeared, and then the two of them came back to their senses and turned their heads to look at Su Jiu'er who was sitting at the table.

Neither of them thought that their daughter and son-in-law would discuss things like this on weekdays, one proposed, and the other immediately did it, and the speed of discussion was even faster than cooking.

Zhao sat beside Su Jiu'er in shock, raised his eyes to look at her, and couldn't help but reproach, "You haven't thought that if the Huns attack, all your money will be lost?" ”

Father Su sat aside, calculating in his heart, even if Su Jiu'er and Gu Feng had more than a hundred taels of silver, they still had dozens of taels of silver in their hands, and they could take care of the two of them.

"Alright." Father Su thought about it like this, and felt that the young man should break through, as long as General Wang was there, the land in Feng Village would not be lost, but it was just a few more acres of land, and when he finished his own land, he went to help Gu Feng farm the land, and the son-in-law of the province went up the mountain to hunt at risk, "It's just to buy a few acres of land, it's okay, just buy it." ”

When Zhao heard what Father Su said, he was relieved.

But when Gu Feng came back with a stack of land deeds, Father Su and the Zhao family had no way to calm down at all.

One hundred acres of upper land, two hundred acres of medium land and twenty acres of lower land, Su Jiu'er looked at those land deeds and looked at Gu Feng with a smile, "Xianggong, we can also be regarded as a small land." ”

Gu Feng put the remaining twenty taels of silver on the table and raised his eyes to look at Su Jiu'er, "There are many people in our village who have spent money to buy land, but they have bought more land and middle land. ”

"It's a pity that the family doesn't have enough money, otherwise they would have eaten it all." Su Jiu'er felt that she was too lazy usually, otherwise there would definitely be more silver at home, and she would be able to buy more land this time.

"So many people buy land?" Father Su looked at Gu Feng in disbelief and asked with some uncertainty, "How much land is there now?" ”

Gu Feng raised his eyes and glanced at Su Jiu'er, thought for a while, and said slowly, "There should be a lot of land, I estimate that it will be bought by all the rich people in the county tomorrow." ”

When the Zhao family heard that there were many people buying land, they looked at Father Su with some uncertainty, and discussed in a low voice, "Shall we buy it?" ”

"Buy a little," Su's father was reluctant to use all the money in the family to buy land, "leave some silver, and if something happens at that time, we don't have to worry about running out of silver." ”

Father Su and the Zhao family discussed buying land, and hurriedly got up and walked outside.

Gu Feng sat next to Su Jiu'er, poured a glass of water, raised his eyes to look at Su Jiu'er, and asked with some hesitation, "If we don't recruit some long-term and short-term workers at that time, otherwise we will definitely not be able to plant the land." ”

"I'm a woman, I don't know much about these things, and these things will be troublesome." Su Jiu'er just wants Gu Feng to take care of things outside, men always have their own careers, "It just so happens that this embroidered handkerchief in my hand is ready to be made, and it will be sent to Li's shopkeeper, so that there will be a lot of money." ”

Gu Feng looked at the things on Su Jiu'er's embroidered handkerchief, and couldn't help but sigh, this embroidery work is really profitable.

In fact, Gu Feng didn't know, in fact, single-sided embroidery is not very profitable, mainly because there are too few double-sided embroideries, and there are basically no ones on the market.

Su Jiu'er knew in her heart that in a few years, the embroidery girls in the palace were released, and the double-sided embroidery on the market began to increase.

Gu Feng didn't have any opinion on Su Jiu'er's arrangement, and looked at Su Jiu'er with more and more satisfaction, with a slight smile between his eyebrows, "Nacheng, I'll go to Fucheng in two days." ”

As soon as Gu Feng's words were finished, he regretted it a little, and looked at Su Jiu'er with a complicated expression, looking like he wanted to say something.
