"Of course I'm looking for the villagers." Zhao He said as a matter of course.

"Townsman?" Poplar was a little puzzled.

"yes, don't you know?" Zhao He asked with a puzzled expression.

Poplar couldn't help but wonder a little, he was not a native of this world, so it was strange to know.

Not to mention it, he naturally wouldn't say it directly, and after thinking about it, he asked: "That Zhao He, I'll give you a silver ticket or two to hire you for an afternoon, is there a problem?" ”

"Baiyang, do you want me to take you to the countryside, in fact, you don't need to give me money, someone will tell you if you ask someone on the road, but don't worry, you are my customer, and it is also one of my jobs to be a guide for you." Zhao He shook his head and said.

Bai Yang didn't expect the innkeeper in front of him to be so honest, and the guest took the initiative to give money and the other party didn't accept it, and he didn't know whether to call him stupid or too stupid.

Although the other party does not take tips, Poplar does not think about treating the person who helped him badly, and he decides to wait until he returns and stuffs the silver ticket to the other party.

Originally, Poplar planned to leave Xiaoyu in the inn, but Xiaoyu was obviously frightened by what happened last time, and he had to follow him alive or dead, so he could only take her with him.

Indeed, just like the innkeeper Zhao He said, the townsman can ask anyone casually, because the townspeople's office is on the edge of the street in the center of the town, located in a private house.

Through inquiry, Poplar also figured out that this township is similar to the mayor of a small town.

Of course, the size of a small town in this world is not large, at most it is about the same as a village in China's coastal region.

But the townspeople in this world are still quite busy, not only responsible for various conflicts between the residents of the town, but also responsible for the maintenance of the town's infrastructure and the storage of food.

But fortunately, there is no one under the township, but how many people need to be recruited by the villagers, which means that the salaries of these staff need to be paid by the villagers.

Although it seems that Xianghou is definitely a bitter character, but the officials in any world are similar, this Xianghou is not a big man in the eyes of the people in the town, and he has done bad things such as favoritism, fish and meat in the township, and collusion between officials and bandits.

No, when the porter learned that Poplar wanted to buy a piece of land in the town, he didn't want to bird him at all with squinted eyes.

It wasn't until Zhao He, who was beside him, reminded Baiyang and asked him to take out one or two silver tickets to bribe the other party, that the other party went inside with his head held high to report.

"It's really crooked on the top beam and crooked on the bottom." Poplar has a preliminary understanding of the darkness of this world.

After a long time, the porter walked out again, and said to the three of them with a cold face: "Go in, but the master's time is limited, you three had better move quickly." ”

When the three of them followed the porter and stepped into a courtyard full of rockeries and bamboo forests along the beautiful corridor, they found that the well-informed villager was playing something similar to mahjong with his ladies.

The porter walked to the side of the townsman and muttered a few words softly, but the townsman didn't even turn his head to look at the three poplars, just nodded, and then the three poplars were inexplicably brought into a wing room by the porter.

On the wall of the wing room hung a rudimentary map of the town's surroundings, and a young man was holding a book and reading it on a low floor.

Seeing the porter come in, the young man hurriedly stood up from the low collapse and shook his fist at the porter with a flattering look.

"Okay, you guys hurry up, and ask him which piece of land you want to buy." The porter pointed to the young man and said, then turned away without looking away.

Looking at this scene, Poplar really felt a little funny, a person who watched the door was even more awesome than a person who did things, which really made him understand.

Seeing the porter leaving, the young man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and asked quite politely, "Are you planning to buy land or land?" ”

"Is there a ready-made house?" Poplar asked.

"Yes, of course, it seems that Your Excellency is planning to buy land, I don't know what the requirements are?" The young man asked.

Poplar thought for a while and said: "It's best to have a ready-made house, the area of the house is better, not too old, by the way, which piece of land is the best land for your house here?" ”

The young man walked over to a pile of documents and quickly rummaged through them, and after looking for a while before he found a copy of Zhang's title deed.

He took the copy of Zhang's title deed to Baiyang and said: "At present, the best real estate in Qingshan Town is this Zhangjia Garden located at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain. ”

Bai Yang took the title deed book and found that the title deed book was quite thick, with more than ten pages, but when he looked through it, both the illustrations and the descriptions were in the clouds, and he couldn't understand it at all with his ability to fuse the language memory of the scar-faced thief, so he had no choice but to ask: "How big is this Zhangjia Garden?" Not far from the center of the town? ”

Although the number of areas of Zhangjia Garden is actually stated in the land deed, the young man still patiently replied when he heard Bai Yang ask about it: "It's very big, the entire Zhangjia Garden is not less than ten acres of homestead with real estate, and this does not include the area of the garden and forest land on the edge of the homestead, and the total area adds up to hundreds of acres." ”

Bai Yang was simply stunned, he didn't expect this Zhang family garden to be so big, if it weren't for the alien planet, he would want to stay.

Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, since the area of this Zhang family's garden was so huge, it was obvious that this Zhang family was definitely not an ordinary person in this town, and it was very likely that it was also a big family, why would the other party take out such a good piece of land for sale?

"Zhao He, do you know this Zhangjia Garden?" Poplar couldn't help but ask the innkeeper beside him.

I didn't expect Zhao He to really know, so I only heard him talk endlessly: "I know, I know, this Zhangjia garden was originally one of the ancestral lands of the Zhang family, but the Zhang family has recently declined, and there is an unfilial son, who owes the casino nearly 1,000 taels of silver tickets, so I have no choice but to sell the ancestral business to repay the gambling debts." ”

It turned out to be like this, which made Poplar feel a little more at ease, as long as it wasn't haunted or something, he wouldn't care too much.

So he asked, "I don't know how to sell this piece of Zhangjia Garden?" ”

"The listing price of the party in my place is 1,500 taels of silver tickets, of course, if you want to discuss with the party, I can contact you on your behalf." The young man said.

The so-called negotiation is naturally bargaining, but Poplar now has a lot of silver and gold tickets, and he doesn't care about this little money, so he asked: "If I buy this land now, can I move in immediately?" ”

"Of course, as long as you pay the full amount, I will attach a certificate of transfer to you, and then this land will belong to you, and you can move in at any time." The young man nodded in confirmation.

"Isn't there anyone living in this garden now?" Poplar's biggest concern was that the house was bought, but it was someone else who lived in it.

Hearing Poplar's question, the young man shook his head with a smile, and he explained: "Naturally, it is impossible to live in people, and we have a rule here that all the land or land that is consigned to the village for sale is not allowed to be inhabited or cultivated privately, and once discovered, it will be punished very severely." ”

"By the way, why didn't this family mortgage this local deed directly to the casino?" Poplar couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

But he didn't want the young man to look at him like a ghost, and asked puzzledly: "Why do you want to mortgage this title deed to the casino, and what does the casino want this title deed?" ”

Bai Yang suddenly remembered that the young man had said that when he paid the money, he would attach him a certificate of transfer, which made him suddenly understand that it seemed that the title deed was worthless even if it was robbed without attaching the certificate of transfer, of course, this could not rule out the possibility of forcibly plundering other people's property in the case of collusion between officials and bandits.

After understanding all this, Bai Yang naturally had no worries, he directly took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels and five silver tickets of one hundred taels from his arms and handed them to the young man.

The young man's expression was obviously stunned, he didn't expect that someone would pay directly without even talking about it.

Well, anyway, his job is only to handle the transfer procedures for people, and there is no need to save money for others, but the other party is so bold that it can greatly reduce his workload.

It's just that he still feels thrilled with 1,500 taels of silver tickets in his hand, and he really wants to take the money and leave.

With the money, the formalities were completed quickly, and the so-called transfer certificate was actually a note written "The title deed has been transferred to so-and-so", but a big red handprint was also pressed on the note, which did not look like a young man's, and it was very likely that the villager pressed it.

Originally, Baiyang planned to ask the other party to write the name on the transfer certificate as Xiaoyu's, but when the young man heard that Baiyang was going to write a girl's name on the transfer certificate of the title deed, he was so frightened that he immediately shook his head and resolutely disagreed.

Even Zhao He looked at him in amazement, as if he couldn't understand his irrational decision.

Hearing the young man say that a woman's name could not be left on the title deed, Poplar had no choice but to leave his name on the title deed, which made him a little crying and laughing, he did not have a place to live on earth, but had a big house on an alien planet.

After completing all the formalities, the three of them left the residence of the villagers, because they were anxious to see what their house looked like, so Baiyang asked Zhao He to lead the way and rushed in the direction where Zhang's garden was located.

Of course, although it is still called Zhangjia Garden, it will definitely not be called this name again in the future, at least this garden will no longer be surnamed Zhang.

But to change to what? Baijia Garden? This doesn't seem to sound good, Poplar thought with some confusion.

Zhangjia Garden is located in the northwest of the town, not far from the center of the town, just through a narrow alley to see the location of the gate of Zhangjia Garden.

Of course, the lane hall belongs to the short road, because the lane is relatively narrow, so you can't walk the carriage, if you want to take the carriage or carry the sedan chair, then you can only choose the long way to detour.

When the three of them came to Zhangjia Garden, Bai Yang was the first to be stunned by the two imposing stone beasts in front of the high-walled compound.

These two stone beasts look like dragons and horned snakes, the two right angles on their heads are very straight and sharp, but they are quite different from dragon horns, the head under the double horns is flattened, but the front snout is round, not sharp, the body is covered with scales, there are four legs, there are only three claws under the two forelimbs, and there are six claws under the two thick and powerful hind limbs, I really don't know what kind of monster this is.

But Poplar didn't know, but there were people around him who did.

No, when Zhao He saw these two stone beasts, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Poplar, look, these are the two Tia stone beasts I told you about, I heard that having these two beast heads guarding the gate can bring good luck to the master's family." ”
