Chapter 10 The Turmoil of Buying Land
Yaohua's departure Xin Yi naturally didn't know, at this moment he followed Li Zheng to see the thirty acres of fertile land, indeed as Li Zheng said, the rice in the field grew very well, and it could be seen that the original owner was very attentive.
What attracted Xin Yi's attention the most was the well in the field, although there is a river nearby, and everyone is very deep, but once there is a drought year, such a well can indeed play a life-saving role, with such a well, six taels of silver per acre of land is not expensive.
"As you can see, the rice here is growing very well, and as long as you are waiting for it, you will definitely have a good harvest this year. But if you take this land, it will cost you a hundred and eighty taels of silver, can you take it out of it? ”
Li Zheng saw a slight movement in Xin Yi's eyes, and simply asked directly.
Xin Yi frowned, and said directly, "Go and discuss it with the master's family to see if there is room for negotiation." ”
As the two spoke, they went to the house where they sold the land, and when they walked over, they saw a small courtyard and a few low thatched houses, which showed that life was extremely poor, and this land may be the rations of this family.
If that's the case, why sell the land?
Xin Yi was puzzled, and stepped into the courtyard with Li Zheng, and as soon as he entered, he heard a person inside say quite loudly.
"Even if there is a year, don't blame me for the low bid, there are some poor peasants in the ten miles and eight townships around here, who can take out one hundred and eighty taels of silver at once, I will give you one hundred taels of silver, you and I go to the government to get the land deed, you and I are better."
Otherwise, you can't afford to wait for that single seedling! We ordinary farmers support a scholar, and we are not afraid of other people's jokes, your family is really good at even understanding the industry, but this is not good to make money.
The exam is coming soon, and I don't even have a coil, so I still honestly sell the land to me, and the money is good, and your eldest grandson will also take the exam! ”
Li Zheng and Xin Yi's footsteps stopped, Li Zheng sighed, turned his head and said, "Xin Yi, this land can't be bought eighty percent of the time, let's go back!" ”
Xin Yi was puzzled.
"When you first arrived, you naturally didn't know that the people in our village were kind, and there was no oppression from big landlords. However, there is a big landlord Li Wan in our neighboring village, that is, this Lijia Village, who occupies most of the fields in Lijia Village, and the villagers of Lijia Village all make a living by tenanting his family's fields.
Only this Lian Younian and a few other households are his own fields, Li Wan has long been dissatisfied with this situation, and has long wanted to swallow these families, but he can't.
As soon as the news came out that he wanted to buy land, he came over immediately. It seems that Lian Yousheng must have sold the land to him, otherwise he would not have even given a tenant land after that.
Even if I didn't inquire this time, let's go back like this, and wait for me to inquire again to see if there is anything more suitable. ”
Li Zheng said a lot, but Xin Yi smiled. Raising his feet and walking towards the house, Li Zheng hurriedly went to pull him and did something for him.
"Since ancient times, buying and selling have been voluntary, and I have never heard of forced buying and selling. If this Li Wan really wants this land, it's a big deal that the two of us have the highest price. Isn't that what is done when buying and selling? ”
Li Zheng wanted to persuade him again, after all, Li Wan was powerful in Lijia Village, and even if he was unpopular with the people, he was forced to stand on his side.
Just seeing Xin Yi's expression, Li Zheng swallowed those words into his stomach.
Although he knew that Xin Yi must have returned in vain this time, but when he saw Xin Yi's appearance of smiling but not smiling, he unconsciously lost his confidence, and swallowed his words back into his stomach.
Xin Yi pushed the door in, and Li Wan, who had been talking big, immediately turned around, and saw that it was a thin and weak man, although the clothes were not pudding, the materials were not very good, and he immediately became contemptuous.
And Xin Yi also looked at Li Wan, a typical rural landlord, with a fat head and big ears, talking to himself, and thinking very highly of himself.
With just one glance, Xin Yi withdrew his gaze and glanced at the room.
If the Tian family is poor, then this is even a young family with four walls, nothing, the chairs are dilapidated, it seems that they will fall apart as soon as they sit down, and the table is also missing a leg leaning against the wall.
Although there are few things, you can see the intentions of the owner's family, and the things in the house are clean and tidy.
Lian Younian, who was blocked by Li Wan, was a thin old man, with gray hair, who looked like he was already in his sixties and halfway in, with his head down at the moment, and he didn't look at anyone at all.
Lian Younian like this reminded him of the first time he saw Tian Yaohua, he didn't have any expression at all, he didn't care about everything around him, he just threw himself into the river without stopping, clean and neat.
This old man is determined to die!
Xin Yi clearly realized this, there were only these two people in the house, and the person named Lian Xie Xing did not appear, so he went to school.
"Who are you!" Li Wan asked like a master.
"Uncle Lian, I heard that your family has land for sale, and I just moved to Xiaotian Village and struggled to survive without a piece of land, so I came to inquire about it, do you really want to sell this land?"
Xin Yi didn't even look at Li Wan, and asked Lian Younian directly.
"One hundred and eighty taels!"
I didn't look up for a year, and slowly spit out the number.
"Okay, when is it appropriate to go to the government to go through the formalities? If you can, it's better today, I'll go back and get the money, and the two of us will go to the government to make a certificate, and pay the money with one hand and the deed with the other, how about it? ”
Xin Yi decisively agreed.
Lian Younian raised his head, looked at Xin Yi seriously, and repeated again, "One hundred and eighty taels, one tael is not a lot!" ”
Xin Yi nodded, as if to appease Lian Younian, "Yes, one hundred and eighty taels is a lot!" ”
Lian Younian's eyes lit up a little, nodded vigorously, stood up and walked towards Xinyi.
Li Wan stopped directly in front of Lian Younian, squinted at Xin Yi, and asked, "Where did you come from, where are you going, this land is wanted, if you don't want to cause trouble, you can go back to me as soon as possible, where are the small farmers dare to pretend to be the uncle!" ”
Xin Yi then looked at Li Wan and took a step towards him, "Dare to ask, does this uncle have anything to do with you?" ”
"Who's going to have anything to do with this bad old man!"
"Is this land yours?"
"Don't you see Lao Tzu talking here? If you don't come to interrupt, it's already been negotiated! ”
"Uncle Lian agreed to sell you this land?"
"Lao Tzu said, labor and management will be bought immediately! Get out of here! ”
"In this case, what qualifications do you have to control the transaction between me and Uncle Lian, you have no relatives and no reason, even Uncle Lian didn't say that he wanted to sell you the land first, the transaction between the two of us only needs the consent of the two of us, which master are you going to be!"
Xin Yi said, his eyes sharpened, and Li Wan shuddered unconsciously.
reacted immediately, and said directly, "If he doesn't sell me the land, I won't give him the land, he can't even live!" ”
Li Wan said quite proudly, just this kind of mud leg, he dealt with it one by one!
Xin Yi noticed that when he was talking to Li Wan, Lian Younian's face turned gray, and that kind of dead air spread again.
Since you manage one, it doesn't matter if you manage two.
"Speaking of which, I'm going to trouble Uncle Lian. Uchiko and I are not good at farming, and this land was given to the two of us, and both of us have to explore it full. It's better to lease the land directly to Uncle Lian, and Uncle Lian will rent it directly to us at that time.
Or, we will invite Uncle Lian home and teach our father how to take care of the crops, and we can pay Uncle Lian.
These two methods depend on how Uncle Lian chooses. ”
Li Wan's face immediately stinked, and Lian Younian's eyes lit up, and he asked tremblingly, "Is this true?" ”
"Naturally!"
"I'll go with you now, these two choices are okay when my grandson comes back, and I'll discuss it with my grandson? My grandson will be back tomorrow and will be able to tell you my reply tomorrow! ”
Lian Younian hurriedly said.
Seeing this, Li Wan snorted coldly and left directly, but before leaving, he glared at the two of them viciously, and it seemed that he would definitely not give up.
It's just that the two people in the room didn't care at all, but Li Zheng frowned and reminded, "Xin Yi, it's naturally good for you to help Lian Younian, but this landlord Li is not an ordinary person, and he also has some means, he didn't want to resist before, but in the end, he didn't do it."
You have just arrived, you have no foundation, and you still have Tian Yaohua with you, if he really deals with you, you will have to suffer. Even if I don't deal with you, dealing with Yaohua is enough for you. ”
Even Younian's face changed, he hoped that he would not leave his land, but he couldn't make trouble for good people, and he was a little hesitant for a while and didn't know what to do.
It was Xin Yi, and said calmly, "It's okay, I can't watch Uncle Lian die, if I didn't save Yaohua at the beginning, Yaohua wouldn't be able to marry me, and now the two of us are also very good, so no matter how clever Li Wan's methods are, there will always be a way to solve it." ”
Lian Younian sighed and said, "Then the two of us will go to exchange the contract now, there are many long nights in the province." ”
Xin Yi nodded, asked the two of them to wait a while, and he went back to get the silver.
Li Zheng waited with Lian Younian, Xin Yi hurriedly returned to the courtyard, noticed that the courtyard was unusually quiet, and thought that Yaohua didn't think much about it in the house, and left with the silver.
And Tian Yaohua, after leaving, really didn't know where to go.
The time between the ancient era and the Dills Empire is too far away, it can be said that there are several light years away. If you leave this body rashly, strip off the spirit body, and use your spiritual power to travel through time, there is only a fifty percent chance that you can go back.
She couldn't estimate how much mental power she still had at the moment, so she wanted to find a place to stay for a while and find a suitable way to go back.
Oda Village naturally can't stay, but the back mountain, dense forests, rugged terrain, last time just stayed in the woods, the deep woods may be a very suitable place!
In case she wants to travel through time, there is a lot of noise, and the deep mountains can also be well hidden.
With this calculation, she went up the mountain, skipping the place where Xin Yi had taught her the names of the plants, and did not stop at all.
