Chapter Twenty-Seven: Buying Land from Far Away
A few taels of silver in exchange for a steady stream of wealth in the future, this is a good deal!
Lu Yuanyuan is a person who does what he says, and decided not to go to Daheishan first, but went to the village chief's house, ready to settle the matter.
Although no one bought this land before, who knows if there will be any accidents if it drags on.
Knowing the purpose of her visit, the village chief was quite surprised, knocked on the cigarette stick, and asked, "What did you buy that wasteland for?" β
"The Lu family is dead-skinned, those acres of land have refused to return to me for so long, my mother and son have to live, how can I do without land?"
I made excuses for the long distance before I came.
She has never gone to the Lu family to ask for land, firstly, because she has no time to plant, and secondly, she doesn't want to see the group of people in the Lu family, but she didn't expect that now she can use it as an excuse, you must know that this matter has been promised by the village chief himself, but there has been no news until now, if Lu Yuanyuan investigates it, his reputation as the village chief will inevitably be damaged.
Sure enough, after listening to Lu Yuanyuan's words, the village chief's casual attitude suddenly became serious, and said: "Cough, this matter is indeed my negligence, and I blame that I have been too busy recently to take care of it, since you want to buy land, then buy this piece!" β
As he spoke, he took out a map from the room, unfolded it and looked at it, and Lu Yuanyuan saw the location of the wasteland, and the circle drawn by the village chief not only included the wasteland, but also a large piece of the big black mountain behind the wasteland.
"The village buys land for five taels of silver and one acre of fertile land, and this wasteland is allocated to you, just give seven or eight taels!"
In fact, seven or eight taels is beyond the budget of the long way!
First of all, the big black mountain is originally shared, the road is far away and there is no effect, you can't farm, the wasteland is more than worth the loss, the useful is only the wasteland, but the wasteland is more than three acres at most, the fertile land is only five taels of silver per acre, and the wasteland is one or two silver per acre.
So Lu Yuanyuan didn't agree, but looked at the map for a long time, shook his head, and sighed again, "Forget it, I'll still go and ask for the four acres of land!" Anyway, it also saves the effort to open up the wasteland! β
Anyway, he turned around and left without the slightest drag.
This wasteland is useless, the village chief also wants to take the opportunity to knock on the road far away, the village has been spreading, she took the token left by the "adulterer" as a pawn, it is said that he also became a few hundred taels, he, the village chief who has been a lifetime, has not seen so much silver, and he has long been greedy.
But since they knew that the Lu family was looking for Lu Yuanyuan, they were all deflated, and they knew that Lu Yuan was so powerful, so no one dared to make up their minds to Lu Yuan.
Finally, the road was far away and sent to the door, where could the village chief let her run.
Hurriedly drew a large piece of land, grabbed her and said, "Add here, and give you one or two less silver!" β
Lu Yuanyuan glanced at it, and found that the village chief was in a hurry, and he actually drew almost half of the range of the Black Mountain, and immediately pressed the village chief's arm.
"Village Chief, your words count!"
"Just kidding, in this crescent village, who else but me speaks and counts? I also look at Boss Lu's sake, pity your orphans and widows, and only received six taels of silver for such a large area! If you don't, then I'll have to sell it to someone else! β
As he spoke, the village chief pretended to put away the map.
Lu Yuanyuan hurriedly picked up the broken charcoal on the ground, drew it on the line where the village chief had scratched it, and then clapped the board and said: "Six taels is six taels, give me the title deed!" β
The village chief hurriedly picked it up and looked at it, and found that the range of Lu Yuanyuan's paintings was almost as big as Crescent Village, although most of them were big black mountains, and only a piece of wasteland was outside, but this was too big!
"What? What the village chief just said is about to be repented? β
Lu Yuanyuan poured out six taels of silver from his purse, weighed it a few times in the palm of his hand, and hesitated: "It's also, it's all Big Black Mountain, what do I want Big Black Mountain to do?" That's a man-eating mountainβ"
"Good! I'm going to get you the title deed!" β
I'm afraid that the road is far away and I regret it, and I want to find the boss of the road to ask for land, so don't you trouble him?
The village chief turned around and went to get a blank piece of paper, those wastelands were ownerless, there was no title deed at all, and he had to rewrite it and go to the town to stamp it before it could be counted.
However, the village chief himself has a chapter, which is said to have been brought by the first batch of villagers in Crescent Village that year, which is more powerful than the county order in the town, and can arbitrarily allocate the boundaries near Crescent Village.
Write down the approximate range and number of acres, note the date, etc., and finally stamp the seal, from then on that wasteland and a large part of the big black mountain behind are far away!
With the brand new title deed, Lu Yuanyuan walked out of the gate of the village chief's house with satisfaction.
When she arrived at the door, she put the title deed close to her, and said to the village chief who was still snorting silver in the yard: "I will first cheapen the few acres of land and plant them for another year, and I will take it back next year!" β
"What?"
The village chief thought that she would give up those few acres of land, but when she heard this, she immediately understood that he had fallen for this girl!
But they didn't say no, so he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
But fortunately, it is not bad to earn a few taels of silver for nothing, for the sake of these few taels of silver, he will help urge Boss Lu to get it!
But these have nothing to do with Lu Yuanyuan for the time being, and after returning to Sister-in-law Yang's house and telling Sister-in-law Yang the good news, he took out a few taels of silver to Boss Yang.
"Brother Yang, please go to the village to find a few reliable people, help me clear the wasteland in the next few days, the weeds can be removed, just keep the yam and the fruiting shrubs!"
Boss Yang didn't ask much, and went out with the silver.
"Far away! What the hell are you going to do? No one wants the yam that grows in the wasteland, so why do you have to buy it? When Sister-in-law Yang heard that she had spent several taels of silver to buy that wasteland, she felt very distressed.
Lu Yuanyuan explained with a smile: "Of course no one is robbing us now, but when my medicinal food shop opens, knowing that yam can make money and can be eaten, can others still turn a blind eye to this thing?" β
I bought it now, just to protect my supply in the future.
Sister-in-law Yang suddenly realized, and said with admiration: "I didn't expect you to think so far away, I definitely wouldn't have thought of this." β
It's not all forced.
The Lu family made her see the selfishness of human nature, and in order to prevent such a thing from happening again, of course she had to take precautions in advance.
"By the way, Yaoyao, I heard someone say just now that the people from Master Tang's family came to trouble the Lu family!" Sister-in-law Yang seemed to remember something and whispered.
Lu Yaoyuan frowned and asked, "Is it Lu Ning who has news?" β
"No, it seems to say that Lu Ning is gone, and Master Tang wants the Lu family to send someone over again, otherwise he will go to the yamen to sue them!"
Hearing this, Lu Yuanyuan couldn't help but evoke a sneer, he deserved it!
