Chapter 55: Picking up dung
The next day, the lieutenant sent someone to Gu Jinfeng's house, saying that the purchase of the mountain had been discussed, and asked them to take the silver money to get the land deed.
The final price was three hundred and twenty taels, which was lower than Qi Ling imagined, and she thought it would be at least about three hundred and fifty taels.
Because the tax paid to buy the mountain is also included in the land money, Qi Ling has heard Gu Jinfeng say before that an acre of land worth ten taels will have to pay at least one or a half of the tax to the imperial court after the transaction.
In this way, buying this mountain, just paying taxes to the imperial court will cost more than fifty taels, so Qi Ling felt that the price was lower than he imagined.
But it is naturally good to save some money, of course Qi Ling is very happy, after all, although the mountain is still under Gu Jinfeng's name this time, the silver is still out of her own.
The lieutenant didn't know the relationship, thinking that Gu Jinfeng had bought it with money, and he was very curious, how could he suddenly have so much money, buying mountains and finding someone to work.
Although he knew that Gu Jinfeng had opened a small medical hall with someone, how much money could a medical center make, could it be Gu Jinfeng's father......
Thinking of this, the lieutenant couldn't help but ask with a pleasant face: "Gu boy, did your biological father come back to look for you, I'll just say, no matter what, people always have to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, you still recognize him as a father." ”
In fact, he was very much looking forward to Gu Jinfeng quickly recognizing his father, and when the time came, no matter what, his village would have something to do with the big officials, and if he said it, he would have a bright face.
Gu Jinfeng pursed his lips tightly and didn't say a word, Qi Ling noticed that he clenched his fists, and the green tendons on his hands exploded.
He must have been very unhappy when asked such a question, Qi Ling thought to himself.
So she didn't hesitate much, and opened her mouth to defend Gu Jinfeng.
"Captain, I see that you are really confused, I said yesterday that I want to invite people, so this mountain is naturally what I want to buy, Gu Jinfeng is just helping me to work."
Speaking of this, Qi Ling paused and laughed a little sarcastically.
"Let's talk about other people's family affairs, why do you care so much, anyway, Gu Jinfeng doesn't eat your family's rice, you just take care of yourself."
After speaking, Qi Ling took Gu Jinfeng's hand and walked straight out of the chief's house, not seeing the captain's surprised expression at all.
Walking outside, Qi Ling hesitated how to comfort Gu Jinfeng.
"That, I think, you don't have to care about other people's thoughts, don't do what you don't want to do, I support you."
Gu Jinfeng listened to Qi Ling's words and felt very moved, the feeling of being protected by others was really good.
He wanted to open his mouth to express his gratitude to Qi Ling, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say them.
Finally, he finally spoke, but asked a question that was unrelated, "You told the chief that I was working for you, but why didn't you pay me?" ”
Qi Ling listened to his words, and his eyes widened like a fried-haired little fox.
"What? Salary? Gu Jinfeng, I still let you help me pretend for more than 1,000 taels of silver, you pay me back first!"
Gu Jinfeng smiled, the unhappiness that had just sprung up in his heart had dissipated at this time, and there was only full of ease and warmth.
He opened his mouth and asked rhetorically, pretending to be sarcastic, "Returning you?" Give it back to you, and let you lose it again? ”
Hearing his words, the angry Qi Ling picked up his fist and struck him several times.
But Gu Jinfeng just took her pink fist, wrapped her with his big palm, and pulled her home.
In the early morning sun, the shadows of the two people stretched so long and close......
Since she had already bought the mountain, Qi Ling asked Gu Jinfeng to buy a few bags of flower seeds, in addition to wild jasmine, red and blue flowers, she also asked Gu Jinfeng to buy back the different varieties of roses and rose seeds on the market.
Qi Ling didn't forget that he still wanted to make essential oils, and the roses and roses were fragrant, clear but not turbid, harmonious but not violent, and could be used to make many things.
Anyway, she is now a mountain person, she can plant whatever she wants, and she is in charge alone!
It happened to be a spring rain in the past few days, "spring rain is as expensive as oil", with this rain, the planted flowers are easier to survive.
Qi Ling informed the village that all the registered people were ready to go up the mountain to plant flowers, and the time was the same as that of the workshop work.
And in order to prevent some people from being lazy, Qi Ling has a certain number of flower seeds distributed by each person every day, and if you want to receive wages, you must at least plant the flower seeds that are sent to your hands.
But if you want to plant at will, you can't plant the flower seeds quickly.
Because Qi Ling divided everyone into several large groups, and selected a few others, which was equivalent to the role of the group leader, their wages were higher, and they were responsible for supervising whether the people in the group were working seriously when they went up the mountain every day.
If he shielded the people in his group, in the end, Qi Ling failed the inspection, and his own wages would be deducted, so these people were supervised very fairly, for fear that Qi Ling would find out something in the end.
It's just that the arrangement comes, the arrangement goes, Qi Ling seems to have forgotten Gu Jinfeng's "elders", and he didn't assign them work.
When everyone carried the guys up the mountain, these people finally became anxious.
Could it be that Qi Ling's words don't count? If that's the case, they'll have to go to the chief to judge!
The triangular-eyed woman looked at Qi Ling suspiciously: "Xiao Nizi, last time you said in front of the chief that you wanted us to work, you can't go back on your word, right?" ”
Qi Ling smiled, "This elder, you are too anxious, I just left you some good work for the sake of your relationship with Gu Jinfeng!" ”
What the? It's so lively, it seems that she is really afraid of herself, and several women are very proud when they hear it.
Qi Ling led them to the back of a house in the village, and then stopped.
A few people are very curious, what is there to live in this place?
Qi Ling suppressed the smile in his heart and said seriously:
"A few elders, I see that the fertility of the land on the mountain is not good, so I bought the dung of several families, you only need to carry the dung up the mountain every day in the future, is it a good job, I am especially left to you."
What the? Pick up big dung? What a good life it is!
Naturally, these people refused to do this, and clamored to go to the chief to complain.
Qi Ling naturally wouldn't stop them, anyway, the lieutenant had promised himself before, and he would never regret it.
Sure enough, hearing the complaints of these women, the lieutenant scolded them all, telling them not to pick and choose, and not to be lazy at will, otherwise they would be severely punished.
