Chapter 221: The Annexes and the Title Deed
What's going on? The curious Chen De used his brain and began to speculate.
This spirit planter must be specially taking care of this vast spirit plantation, because if there is no one to take care of such a spirit plantation, the spirit grass and elixir must not grow well.
In this formation, it is not only the place where this spirit planter works, but Chen De guesses that it is also his prison.
Because, he must be the only one in this.
Chen De only saw a skeleton, and there was only one grave, and there was only one demon beast buried in it.
In the big garden, there is only one person and a demon beast as a companion, which is also a kind of punishment, mental torment.
The pangolin, when it was not demonized, must have gotten through that small hole with its nose.
How could there be a gap in this such magical formation?
This gap was most likely formed after attacking the formation from the inside.
Could it be that Lingzhifu did it? Chen De thinks it is very likely.
When a person is trapped in one place for decades, centuries, that's going to drive people crazy. If given the opportunity to try, Chen De believes that Ling Zhifu will not hesitate to act.
A space formation like this will be affected by huge celestial phenomena, such as a solar eclipse, a nine-star alignment, etc., which will curb the operation of the formation and weaken the power of the formation.
The serious injuries on this Lingzhifu may have been left behind when he was attacked by the formation when he attacked the formation.
His demon beast, it is estimated that he was also seriously injured when attacking the formation, and died before him.
This spirit planter, after burying his partner who accompanied him day and night, was also seriously injured, and relied on spirit grass and elixir to continue his life, and finally turned into a skeleton.
It should have been a few years later, just in the last few years, that lucky pangolin got through the gap in that formation.
With the pangolin's sense of smell, it will soon sniff out the beast pill of the demon beast that is most attractive to it.
After many years have passed, it is estimated that the demon qi on the Demon Beast Pill has been consumed a lot, and this pangolin can swallow it unharmed, and after swallowing the Demon Pill, the pangolin is about to enter the sleeping stage, and it will naturally return to its cave.
However, when it woke up, it was already much larger, and it couldn't get through that small gap.
Otherwise, this garden full of spiritual grass and elixir will not be damaged by this pangolin demon.
Extrapolating this, Chen De thought to himself that he was able to enter the Spirit Plantation Garden and have so many spirit herbs and elixirs, and he really had to thank this Spirit Planter and his demon beasts.
Chen De used the spirit pickaxe and spirit shovel left by Ling Zhifu to dig a tomb for him, and then dismantled the furniture in his room and made a coffin for the skeleton of Ling Zhifu. Bury this spiritual planter.
For the demon beast of Lingzhifu, Chen De put its bones back together, re-nailed the coffin, and reburied it.
After doing this, Chen De returned to Ling Zhifu's house and cleaned the room.
Tran stayed here for a number of days.
Because not only is the aura pervasive here, no worse than the place where the spiritual energy of the Tiantai Sect is most abundant, but also, this place is filled with the aroma of various spiritual herbs and elixirs, and when these aromas are inhaled into the stomach, it seems that they can automatically repair his body.
After Chen De completely recovered his cultivation and body, he left this Great Spirit Plantation, dealt with the cave entrance of the pangolin demon, so that others would not pay attention to it, and then went straight to Baoyun Mountain Villa.
As soon as Chen De entered Baoyun Villa, it was like an explosion inside.
Because, Chen De has been gone for many days, and there is no news.
Because, it stands to reason that Chen De will not go out for so many days and not return.
Wei Zule and Yuan Lao didn't know what was going on, and they were always worried.
As soon as they knew that Chen De was back, everyone gathered in Chen De's room. Even Tu Kexiong, who had just moved in not long ago, brought his son and daughter with him.
Looking at the room full of people, the concern on their faces, Chen De's heart was very warm.
In the face of their long and short questions, Chen De felt a little guilty in his heart, because he could only say in a loud voice: "The medicinal materials have been found, but there was a little accident in the mountains, a little accident in the mountains, and a little trouble." I'm fine right now. ”
Chen De was embarrassed to say that he comprehended heaven and earth, and when he suddenly obtained the Apocalypse Talisman, he was almost accidentally drained by this talisman.
Not to mention, he had an adventure and entered a vast spiritual plantation.
Everyone was relieved to see that Chen De was safe and sound, still fierce and fierce.
Let's talk about the new atmosphere after the renovation of the villa, and the move of Tukoxiong's family to the villa.
It turned out that this time, Tukexiong's family of five had moved from the mountain village where they used to live. Tu Kexiong has two sons and a daughter, and his wife is a family of five.
After everyone dispersed, only Wei Zule and Yuan Lao remained, and they had something to report to Chen Deyu.
During the time when Chen De was not in the villa, Qianxunsong came to the villa, brought back the three borrowed carriages, and also brought the news about the house deed and the title deed.
Qianxunsong brought the meaning of the superintendent of the house deed and the title deed on behalf of the government, that is, the house deed of the villa and the title deed of Dianyin Mountain can be handled for them. But there are a few conditions.
First of all, all the acres of land, fruit forests, and forests in and around the more than 30 mountain villages on Dianyin Mountain have land deeds and still belong to these villagers.
The title deed of Baoyun Mountain Villa can only be an ownerless place in the mountains, that is, those uninhabited peaks, strange rocks and inaccessible valleys, and so on.
These villagers went up to the mountains to hunt, and the people of Baoyun Mountain Villa were not allowed to stop them.
Secondly, for such a large piece of land, Baoyun Villa has to pay deed tax. I have to pay a tax of 3,000 taels a year.
The first condition is quite reasonable.
Chen De's meaning was to let his people be able to act conveniently in an ownerless place in the mountains, so he had a whim, to be the landlord of the entire mountain, not to rob the villagers' land.
The second condition is a little wrong.
Chen De has some mundane silver taels, which is good, but he is not wronged. This is these Dazhu people deliberately embarrassing him.
Chen De asked Yuan Laodao: "Yuan Lao, do you estimate how many taxes can be paid in a year in a year for these more than 30 cottages in Yinshan?"
Yuan Lijin thought for a moment and replied: "It's only five or six hundred taels, and eight hundred taels will be up to the sky." ”
Because of the discovery of the Spirit Plantation Garden, the matter of winning the title deed became very urgent and important, and he did not expect that his whim would turn into a prescient one.
Chen De said: "That's it, Old Yuan, you will take Tu Kexiong into the city tomorrow and find Si Bo through Qianxunsong." The deed tax promised him six hundred taels first, and if he refused, then eight hundred taels, but if it really didn't work, then give him one thousand taels. ”
The next day, Yuan Lijin took Tu Kexiong and his two sons, a carriage, and a horse to Leishi City.
In the afternoon, they checked into the inn first, and then according to the address given by Qianxunsong, they found Qianxun Song in Qianxun Courtyard on Biliu Street. The fat man promised to take them to Si Bo the next day.
Si Bo has a goatee, but he is neither yin nor yang when he speaks.
At first, when he heard that Baoyun Villa was willing to pay six hundred taels in taxes, he whispered, "This is absolutely impossible!" and then shook his thin head.
Yuan Lijin then raised the price to eight hundred taels, and Si Bo, who had a goatee, said sharply: "There are dozens of miles and dozens of peaks in Dianyin Mountain, and the annual tax of eight hundred taels is too little. No way!"
Yuan Lijin had a fire in his heart, and he said in a deep voice: "Si Bo knows very well how much tax he can receive from the more than 30 villages in Dianyinshan every year, right?"
There was a hint of sneering expression on Si Bo's face.
Yuan Lijin continued: "These 30 or so villages occupy most of the rich and easily cultivated land in Dianyin Mountain, and the rest are barren and difficult to cultivate, so why do we have to pay more taxes than the total number of these 30 or so villages?"
Si Bo, who had a goatee, stiffened his neck and said, "Your territory is large, so you have to pay more taxes." ”
Originally, Chen De's confession could be raised to 1,000 taels, but Yuan Lijin was a little angry when he saw Si Bo's appearance, and he thought that with the tax of 800 taels, Baoyun Villa had already suffered a big loss, so he was silent.
The scene froze for a moment.
Qian Xunsong on the side, when he saw the scene becoming stiff, he looked at Yuan Lijin again and again.
After Yuan Lao understood what the fat man meant, he said goodbye to Si Bo: "Lord Si Bo is busy with official business, and it is inconvenient for me to wait for the small people to disturb me too much, so I will leave." ”
After coming out of the yamen, Qian Xunsong said to Yuan Lijin: "Old Yuan, don't be discouraged, I'll go walk around first and see what the other party means." I'll look for you at the inn in the evening. ”
After dinner, as soon as it was dark, the fat man came. The fat man said: "Si Bo means a tax of eight hundred taels a year, and Baoyun Villa wants to be the landlord of the terra nullius of Yinshan, and this thing will definitely not be able to escape." ”
As soon as Yuan Lijin heard that things had taken a turn for the better, he asked, "Does he have any conditions?"
Qianxun Song said: "I have to give Si Bo and a few of them some tea money." ”
Yuan Lao hurriedly asked, "How much silver?"
Qian Xunsong stretched out five chubby fingers and said, "They want five hundred taels." ”
Yuan Lijin is an old man, and he has long been accustomed to such things. He said to the fat man: "Five hundred taels is not a small amount, I have to ask the owner, and I can give an answer in these two days." ”
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Yuan Lijin rode back to Baoyun Villa.
Chen De and Wei Zule were in the council room, discussing the establishment of the Baoyun Courtyard. I saw Yuan Lao coming in sweating profusely.
Chen De and Wei Zule both thought that with Qianxun Song taking care of them, this matter should be done.
Wei Zule preemptively asked, "Old Yuan, is the matter done?"
Yuan Lijin calmed his breath a little, and then replied: "Si Bo, these people are a group of corrupt officials. Baoyun Villa has to pay a tax of 800 taels a year, which is a certain amount, and it has to give Si Bo and these people benefits first, that is, 500 taels. ”
