Chapter 36: Buying and Selling Wasteland
Chapter 36: The Buying and Selling of Wasteland
Some people had a look of contempt on their faces after listening to Ye Dashu's words, and one or two had the same greedy expression on their faces as Ye Dashu.
Village Chief Ye Changrong's face sank after hearing this, and he looked at Ye Dashu.
"Your family's land has been desolate there for more than ten years, and you have to pay taxes every year, not to mention the confiscation of the profits, or you can keep it for yourself, anyway, Brother Jing, they also plan to plant the land when they buy it, but they plan to fence the land and build a high courtyard wall, so as not to be attacked by sudden beasts. Do you want to put up a high courtyard wall on that little bit of your own land? ”
Ye Shaoke and his mother listened to the words of the village chief in the hall outside, and they instinctively laughed, it seems that it is still a good thing to be friendly with the village chief.
The two people who wanted to raise the price with Ye Dashu immediately shook their heads. A middle-aged man who was darker and thinner immediately denied it.
"Where is the village chief, it is a waste of our land to put there, if Brother Jing needs it, of course it is good, as long as the village chief is in charge and gives a fair price, we have no opinion."
Of course they have no opinion, if they can be sold, they will burn high incense, just now they almost stupidly followed the Ye Dashu to raise the price, not only to offend the village chief, but also to mess things up later, forcing Ye Jing to be anxious, he doesn't buy his own wasteland, doesn't he have to try?
Ye Dashu saw that the plan just now was disrupted by the village chief, and he was immediately anxious.
"Village chief, I don't want to keep that land, but after all, it was left by my ancestors, and I'm afraid I'll be sorry for my ancestors if I sell it!" Ye Dashu said bitterly, and after speaking, he hung his chest with both hands.
The expression is as realistic as it gets, as if he really did something sorry for his ancestors for the eighteenth generation.
Ye Jing couldn't help sneering in his heart when he saw it, but he didn't show it at all on his face.
The village chief just wanted to speak, but Ye Jing immediately stopped him.
"Listen to me, this purchase of land is voluntary, if any of you don't want to sell, I Ye Jing will not force it to buy."
"Brother Jing, I don't have any opinions, I'll go with you and the village chief later." It was Uncle Mozi who spoke.
"Yes, we don't have a problem." Except for Ye Dashu, who wanted to raise the price, the rest of the people agreed.
Those wastelands have been bothering them for so many years, and they dare not plant them there, and they have to pay the grain tax every year. In fact, the problem of these wastelands was approached by the village more than ten years ago, and the people in the town also reported to the county, but the problem was still not solved. The big answer given by the government was that "the court will give you the land, and you should pay the taxes on time, except for the famine years, the court will give the corresponding tax relief, and the beasts on the mountain will not be under their jurisdiction." So those fields were in a panic all the time, and no one dared to plant them.
And now, if there is a big man willing to take over the hot potato-like wasteland, of course they are happy in their hearts, no matter how much money it can buy, even if it is dozens of copper plates, as long as they don't let him have a full meal, they have to pay the grain tax in vain.
And now, almost everyone in the audience thinks that way.
Ye Jing looked at everyone, almost no one objected, and then he slowly spoke: "Then thank you, let's measure the land out earlier, while it's still early, wait for the land to be measured, and you have to trouble the village chief to go to the town to get the contract, so you can get the money earlier."
As soon as Ye Jing finished speaking, he saw a few anxious people, hurriedly drank the tea in the bowl in one go, stood up and urged: "You guys are hurrying up, the sun hasn't come up yet, let's go to the field quickly, and the village chief will go to the town to get the land deed in a while." ”
As the words fell, a few people under him hurriedly drank the tea in the bowl in one go, got up and pulled the village chief to the outside of the house.
After Ye Jing saw it, he didn't show much joy, he just got up and stood at the door, and said to Ye Dashu, who was not walking in the house, and he was not leaving: "Uncle Ye, it seems that you are not willing to sell this land, I will not keep you, they are still waiting for me to go to the field." ”
After hearing this, the corners of Ye Dashu's mouth twitched, and he secretly gritted his teeth in his heart, "Hmph, I'm not a fool if I don't sell it?" Hum! I see how you regret buying these wastelands! ”
After Ye Dashu finished slandering in his heart, he immediately changed his embarrassed expression.
"Boy Jing, you ••••••"
"Hey! Forget it, if you need it, I'll sell it to you, Sanbo, and others are not afraid of the ancestors' blame, what do I have. After speaking, he cheekily chased after the village chief and the direction they were going.
Ye Shaoke and the Lan family listened to it so much outside the door, but they didn't expect that their father, who had always been honest and honest, was also so cunning.
Ye Jing walked out of the hall and glanced at his beautiful wife and well-behaved and beautiful daughter, feeling a little uneasy.
"Don't come out when you wait at home, and when the land is measured, I will go directly to the village chief's house to sign the land sale contract with them, and then give them the money and come back."
"Okay, you go quickly, don't wait for the village chief and them."
Lan said softly. Ye Shaoke also smiled sweetly at his father, saying that he would stay in the house obediently. Ye Jingcai left with confidence.
Soon the village chief and Ye Jing measured the panicked land in the back mountain, a total of twenty-four acres and three points, Ye Jing looked at such a large piece of land that was about to belong to his family, and the indescribable joy in his heart, although those lands were not wanted in the eyes of others, but now that their family has so much land at once, they will not be hungry in the future.
"Brother Jing, let's sign the land sale contract first." The village chief couldn't bear to interrupt Ye Jing's joyful mood and still spoke.
"Well, okay, let's go to my eldest brother's house, I don't have a pen or paper at home." Ye Jing scratched his hair and said.
"Okay, let's go."
Everyone was in a good mood along the way, Ye Jing was happy thinking that his family would soon have so much land, and a few people in the village were thinking that someone had finally taken over the wasteland, not only did they not have to pay grain taxes every year, but they also had a few taels of silver immediately. Now everyone is in a good mood, so it is inevitable that they will not be so polite when they speak, and they also joked about Ye Jing.
A man who was about the same age as Ye Jing, named Ye Changming, he couldn't help but joke when he looked at the smiling night scene: "Brother Jing, your family, everyone feels that they have changed, and they seem to be a few years younger than before?" Look, your skin doesn't look like our country man anymore, it's as white as a guy in his twenties, and I didn't feel that your skin was so good before? ”
Ye Changming's words fell, and several people looked at Ye Jinglai, especially the village chief who had met with Ye Jing yesterday, and now that he looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more confused he became.
"Tsk! Tut! Tut! Look at the appearance of Shui Ling, why is your skin so good, when your family broke up two days ago, I saw that you were not like this? It was Ye Dashu who spoke, he was very unhappy today, he didn't raise the price of the wasteland, and he was still angry with the village chief and Ye Jing in his heart.
As soon as his words fell, another villager also chimed in: "What Ye Sanbo said is right, I also saw it that day, and when I entered Brother Jing's house today, I saw my sister-in-law and Xiao Ke's girl, the complexion of the two of them is not what ordinary countrymen have, did you take any panacea when you were at home?"
Although the village chief was puzzled, he still did not stop and led everyone to his house.
There was a flame in Ye Jing's heart, and his face turned cold all of a sudden.
"My daughter-in-law and girl are also seen by you?"
The villager who said that immediately smiled when he saw Ye Jing's cold face: "Brother Jing, I'm sorry, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to see it, but when I entered the door, everyone met and said hello, you see why I can't speak like this broken mouth, don't worry about me." As he spoke, he raised one of his hands and quickly patted his mouth.
Seeing that Ye Jing was about to become popular, the village chief hurriedly stepped forward to play a round.
"Brother Jing was born well, but you didn't notice it in the past."
Ye Jing endured the anger in his heart and followed the words of the village chief.
"Big brother is laughing at me, where did I take some Lin Dan medicine, it's just that my family shakes that girl who is naughty, and likes to tinker with some strange things all day long. Yesterday, I asked her to come up with such a thing that can make the skin better and whiter, what kind of "mask" is it. She didn't have a good grasp of the proportions when she first started to get it, and she made herself a lot whiter, and she was still afraid that there would be any sequelae, and she begged us to try that mask for her last night, and the whole family was made up of trouble by her, so she had to let her get it for us, and now the skin has become like this. ”
Everyone's eyes lit up after hearing this! I didn't expect that girl to make a recipe to sell it for money, and now she has made this thing that makes people beautiful, isn't it more profitable. Some people can't help but have crooked thoughts in their hearts, but most of them are still happy for Ye Jing's daughter who is so capable, and Uncle Mozi and the village chief are one of them.
"Brother Jing, you are really a blessing, you are so capable as a daughter, it would be good if that girl in our family had the strength of the elf of your girl." Uncle Mozi really boasted.
"Hehe, yes, that girl is clever, you are really a good blessing!" The village chief also praised.
"Hey, that girl doesn't know what she thinks about all day long, she also said that she wants to open a beauty house in the village or something, saying that they are all from the village, and they want to give the people in the village what to call it, what is the preferential price for trial operation, and then go to the town to set up a stall and restore the original price. I won't stop her, I'm such a daughter now, I must spoil her, she can do whatever she likes. Ye Jing said so many words in one breath, and pretended to sigh a few times, and was helpless to Ye Shaoke's naughtiness.
