Chapter 436: Landmark
The master took the copywriting filled out by Yun Niang, took out the cinnabar and asked Yun Niang to press the handprint, and then said.
"That's pretty much it, the little boy can go back and wait for news from the yamen first."
When Yun Niang heard Master Jiang's words, she knew that this was the meaning of sending off guests, but the main thing in the Yamen today was not achieved, how could she leave so easily?
Jiang Huaimin looked at Yun Niang in front of him and didn't mean to leave, he glanced at his nephew Jiang Yu next to him and asked.
"But there are other things to do, little boy?"
"Yes, Yun Xiu wants to ask Master Jiang, is there any land to sell outside Qicheng County?"
"Oh? Does the little boy want to settle some fields in Qicheng? But what is needed? ”
In the villages outside Qicheng, because the dry fields could not grow food, in order to exchange for some silver, most of the families were willing to give up some fields and sell them, and some of them were people who fled and did not return, and those fields became ownerless for a while.
Up to now, there are as many as 10,000 acres of ownerless fields that he has sorted out in Yamen every day, and if no one cultivates these fields, then the yield of grain species in the entire Qicheng will be extremely low, and it will be difficult to hand over the share to the state treasury next year.
In order to have someone cultivate these fields, Qicheng Mansion Yin was worried.
Of course, how could Jiang Huaimin, who was a master, not know these things, and now when he heard that Yun Niang wanted to buy a field, some joy flashed in his eyes.
"Why don't I tell my nephew to take you to see it now? Anyway, it's all in a village not far from Qicheng, and this back and forth is only about half an hour, you see? ”
"Okay, then Brother Lao will accompany our brother on a trip."
"Okay, Yu'er, you quickly take the little boy and them to Fengchime Village to have a look, and write down the field that you like, you know?"
"Yes, Second Uncle!"
Jiang Huaimin stood up and ordered Jiang Yu, and then said to the Yun Niang brothers and sisters who also got up.
"The little boy and my nephew will go first, and there will be something to tell him when the time comes."
"Okay, I'll trouble Master General today."
Jiang Huaimin nodded appreciatively at Yun Niang, and then sent Yun Niang and them out of the room.
As soon as Jiang Yu left Master Jiang's sight, the look on his face suddenly became much more cordial to Yun Niang, as if he was a friend who had known him for many years, and introduced everything in the yamen to Yun Niang along the way.
The three of them just talked, and soon walked to the gate of the mansion, and Jiang Yu commanded the people in front of the door, and after a while, the departing catcher quickly led three horses over.
"Head, the horse you want!"
"Well, alright, it's none of your business here!"
"Yes."
"Brother Yun Xiu, let's go!"
"Okay."
Yun Niang looked at the tall horse in front of her, walked to the left side of the horse with a little weakness, touched the horse's neck with her hand, and then tentatively stepped on the saddle and got on the horse.
Looking at the unusually smooth horse under her, Yun Niang's nervousness disappeared a lot because of the first time she rode a horse.
Although I used to sit in front of the morning carriage with Brother Yang, it was because Brother Yang was by my side, and she was not on horseback, so I was not so afraid.
Looking at Yun Yang, who had been secretly guarding Yun Niang on the left side, with a look of disapproval on his face, Yun Niang's head shrunk.
Yun Yang looked at Yun Niang's shrinking head on horseback, and with a step on his left foot, the person was already sitting behind Yun Niang.
"The younger brother has never ridden a horse alone at home, so in order not to delay time, I can only let the general brother smile."
Jiang Yu originally looked at Yun Niang's posture on the horse, and he had already found that Yun Niang didn't deal with horses very often, but now he looked at Yun Yang's elegant posture and flowing movements, and he was stunned for a moment.
It turned out that Yun Xiu's brother actually had such skills, and he was an expert at a glance, which made Jiang Yu suddenly start to look at Yun Yang and the two of them in his heart.
"Haha, out of the way! With such a master as Brother Wang, Brother Yun Xiu will definitely be fine, so let's go! Drive! ”
Jiang Yu's pun fell, laughed twice, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and let go of his speed towards the city gate.
Because of the reason that Jiang Yu was there, Yun Niang and his party quickly went out of the city gate, and in less than half an hour or so, Yun Niang and his party arrived at today's destination, Fengjing Village.
Looking at the big characters of the wind chime village erected with wood above the entrance of the village, Yun Niang was full of curiosity about this village with a beautiful name.
Along the way, Jiang Yu followed Yun Yang unhurriedly, and carefully told the information of the entire village to Yun Niang and the others.
After entering the village, Jiang Yu turned over and dismounted, and said to Yun Niang, who was dismounting,
"Brother Yun Xiu, the fertile fields in this Fengchi Village are famous for our Qicheng, because the arid fields cannot be cultivated, so most people are willing to sell some of the fields, and now if Brother Yun Xiu buys these fields, God will rain a few more times after a while, and the land can be cultivated."
Jiang Yu said this, led the horse behind him and led Yun Niang and the two towards a large area of connected land in front.
"Is this the case with all the fields here?"
"It wasn't like that before, it became like this after the drought."
Yun Niang squatted down and grabbed the soil on the ground and tried it, although it is raining now, but the moisture in this field is still not enough, if you want to plant, you must have to rain a few times in God.
But she is not in a hurry, she will buy these fields first, and it will be much better when she uses the spiritual water medicine to improve.
"How is it, Brother Yun Xiu?"
"It's not very good, the moisture in the ground is not enough!"
"Lord Catcher, why are you here? But what happened? ”
As soon as Yun Niang's words fell, she heard a voice coming in a hurry, and after looking at Yun Niang's brothers and sisters, she asked Jiang Yu.
"Who are these two?"
"Uh-huh! Ben Zhukuai brought these two sons to see the fields here, but you are the head of this village? ”
"Yes, yes, Lao Yu is the village chief of Fengling Village, surnamed Zeng."
"That's good, since you are the head of this village, then take us to see the fields in the village to be sold."
"Okay, a few of you, please come with the old man."
The old man walking in front was dressed in a washed white coarse linen robe, with a cloth bag of the same color tied around his waist, the silver thread on his head was fixed with a black cloth bag, and a pair of torn shoes hung on his feet.
Although this is the case, the old man is in good spirits, and he walks with Yun Niang in the entire wind chime village with strong hands and feet.
The old man pointed out three or four places to Yun Niang, all of which were in the village, and the big ones were about 20 acres, and the small ones were only 3 acres of fields.
The others are all fragmented places, and the place is also a little far away, so Yun Niang's favorite is the field at the foot of the mountain, the whole basin is almost a hundred acres, the left and right sides are mountains, and the gap exposed in the middle is the land that has been cultivated.
