Li Youdi was also really for the good of the Mo family, and after saying the price of each mu of land, he said, "If you buy them all, I will go and talk to the master in the yamen to see if it can be cheaper."
As soon as Mo Tingyu heard Li You say that he would ask again to see if it could be cheap, he immediately said gratefully, "Then thank you first."
"It's not necessarily cheap, I'll ask first."
"I know that the affairs in the yamen are all decided by the officials and masters."
Thinking about what he said about going to Cuilong Mountain to take a look, he was busy repairing the workshop every day, and he didn't have much time, but he didn't want to delay the Mo family's matter, repairing the house and buying the land were his family's business, and the matter of repairing the house was also a day's work for him, but the matter of buying land had to be handled by him, the village head, so he said: "Uncle Mo, we will go to see it early tomorrow morning, and if I still think it is suitable after reading it, I will go to the yamen and ask the price again."
"Okay, we'll go early tomorrow morning." Anyway, it was decided to buy it, and Mo Tingyu thought that it would be better to do it earlier, and let the two babies miss it less.
After saying that, Mo Tingyu turned around and walked back, and Li Youdi naturally moved bricks to repair the house.
said that it was early in the morning, and the next day was really early in the morning, when it was hazy, Li Youdi went out to Mo's house, and when he came to the door of Mo's house, he shouted, "Uncle Mo!"
Mo Tingyu also got up early, but he felt that it was too early to go out to urge Li Youdi, but he didn't shout, but people came to call him, and hurriedly responded: "Eh!"
The voice fell, and the others followed out of the house, "Have you eaten?"
Li Youdi stood in the courtyard and responded, "Eat, Uncle Mo, have you eaten?" If we want to eat, we'll go now."
Mo Tingyu replied repeatedly: "Eat it, I said that I would go out to find you later."
Then the two of them talked and walked towards Cuilong Mountain, the two of them walked much faster than Mo Ziyun's little babies, and they walked to the foot of Cuilong Mountain in two quarters of an hour.
On a winter morning, there was a fog, and the two of them couldn't see the other end of the wasteland when they stood on one side of the wasteland.
"Uncle Mo, if you buy such a large piece of land, you have to invite a lot of people to take care of it." Li Youdi knew how big this land was, but he would stand on the side and look at it, and he felt even bigger.
"Clean up slowly, first clean up a piece and plant it, then slowly clean up the back." Mo Tingyu didn't say that he would hire someone to take care of it immediately, but only said that he was not in a hurry, and he was not in a hurry.
The two stood still and watched for a while, and after saying a few words, they walked to the other end, and then looked around before walking back, "What's the matter? If it's decided, I'll go to the county and ask."
"It's decided, the babies said that this place is suitable for growing medicine, I will go to the county with you, and we will do it together in a while." Mo Tingyu still remembered that the two babies said again before going to bed last night that they wanted to buy it, and anyway, they earned the money back from the family.
"Okay, let's go to the county, you first bring the silver according to one or two pieces of silver per acre, and then bring it back when you can't use it up." Li Youdi told him that he had decided to buy it, and it was still early today, and after a while, the people in the yamen would come to hand over the land and directly give the money to handle the title deed, so as not to run again.
"I'm ready, I'll go to the yamen to do it." Mo Tingyu said truthfully.
Li Youdi said with a smile: "As soon as Uncle Mo bought this land, the land at home has increased several times."
Mo Tingyu: "That is, I dare to buy more because I think this land is cheap, and I don't dare to buy it like this like other land."
After walking out of Cuilong Mountain, the two did not return to the village, and walked directly to the yamen.
When he arrived at the county seat, after Li Youdi entered the yamen, Mo Tingyu was waiting at the door, and after a while, Li Youdi walked out, and when he came out, he was followed by two officials, one of whom was carrying a straw rope around the city.
Mo Tingyu was inexplicably nervous when he saw the official errand, but fortunately, Li Youdi explained the situation, "Uncle Mo, these two officials are here to help us measure the land."
"Oh, good." Mo Tingyu answered nervously, and then said to the two officials, "Thank you, two officials."
Before the two came out, they were specially instructed to be polite to them, "Old man, you are polite, this is us."
Let's go, let's do it early, and we can do it as soon as possible."
Mo Tingyu saw that the two of them were polite, and the nervousness in his heart was less, "I'm tired of you running."
"That's what we're going to eat, and we're not tired." The official replied.
The two officials were polite, Li Youdi and Mo Tingyu also let go, and they talked and laughed along the way.
After Mo Tingyu and Li Youdi walked back and forth to the foot of Cuilong Mountain, it was already an hour later, and the fog in the mountain dispersed a lot, and only a thin layer was left after looking at it from a distance.
After walking to the place, the two officials each took a few steps to look at the situation in the field, and after some consideration, one of them said, "This piece of land looks neat and wide, but the stones and trees in this field are not easy to clean, and if you want to grow crops, you are afraid that it will take a lot of effort to clean up."
Mo Tingyu continued: "There are still a few acres of good land at home, and this land will be cleaned up slowly when it is done, so I think that the wasteland is cheap, so I will buy it first and clean it up slowly, and when I have cleared the stones in the field, I will be able to grow crops for another two years."
Mo Tingyu didn't say anything about wanting to grow medicinal herbs.
The official replied, "Okay, you have decided to buy it, and our brothers will measure this land for you first, and then go back to the yamen to go through the formalities."
Mo Tingyu replied again affirmatively that he wanted to buy, "Buy, buy."
After Mo Tingyu agreed, the official with the straw rope took off the rope on his shoulder, took out one end and handed it to the other official, and then the two stopped and measured the wasteland.
Waiting for the two of them to measure it, it was more than half an hour to pass, "Sixty-three acres, but there are indeed more stones and trees in this field, so I will give you eight hundred wen per acre, and then erase the fraction of two acres for you, and you will prepare forty-eight taels of silver."
800 wen per acre, this is an unprecedented price! In the past, the worst cost a tael of silver.
Not only Mo Tingyu was surprised, but Li Youdi was also very surprised, he mentioned it when he was first in the yamen, but he didn't say the price at that time, and he didn't look at the land, so he said the specific price, and only asked, can you give it cheaper when you buy more. But what he said about cheapness is definitely not a lot less than one acre, it is already great that the whole piece of land can be reduced by three or five taels of silver, but now this is calculated, it is less than ten taels of silver.
This is more than ten taels of silver, and with these more than ten taels, you can buy a lot of land, not to mention that there are three acres of land that are not counted as silver, which is more than two taels of silver.
What surprised Li Youdi was still to come.
After measuring the land, it was already noon, Mo Tingyu had to invite the two of them to go home and eat before going to the yamen to go through the formalities, "It's already noon, I've been tired of you for so long, let's go home and have a meal first, and then it's not too late to go to the yamen after eating."
If it was usual, the two officials would definitely respond immediately, but today they were a lot more polite, and they naturally refused at first, but Mo Tingyu felt that the two of them were friendly and easy to talk, and it was already noon to eat, and he really wanted to invite the two of them to eat at home.
Mo Tingyu invited, Li Youdi also persuaded on the side, and the two officials followed Mo Tingyu and Li Youdi to the Mo family in the village first.
Although the meal for the two was not prepared in advance, the duck and luncheon meat in the workshop were ready-made, and Li Linsong ran to get a duck and a large piece of luncheon meat in one trip.
While Li Linsong was going to get it, Du Shi quickly fried a sweet and sour cabbage and a shredded pork with sauce in the stove room, and mixed a plate of dried bamboo shoots.
After all the dishes were served, not only did the two officials eat with a mouthful of oil, but even Li Youdi had a round stomach. sighed again: The Mo family is really having a good day this day, if there were no such good dishes for the New Year before, and there is nothing to prepare for today, it is a table of meat, if it is prepared, the table must be full.
After eating, the two officials thought that they knew why the master Bo asked them to be polite to the Mo family, and the roast duck and luncheon meat sold in the restaurant in the county were made by the Mo family.
Not only did the two of them eat with their mouths full of oil, but when they returned to the Yamen, Mo Tingyu also prepared a bag of things for each of them, and waited for them to be given to the two of them when they entered the county later.
The two of them who ate and took it, they didn't need to remember Lord Bo's instructions at all, and they were already doing their best to do things for Mo Tingyu again.
With the help of the two, it only took a quarter of an hour after entering the yamen, and Li Youdi took the title deed in his hand.
Today's trip to the Yamen made Li Youdi in a trance, why is this different from before?
Not only is the price much cheaper, but things are also going smoothly, and even the attitude of the poor master is very polite.
Li Youdi clearly remembered how he used to look when he came to the yamen to do business, it was good not to be embarrassed before, how can it be like now they are still helping to run before and after, not to mention taking the initiative to give so much less money! I feel like I'm watching them busy like an uncle today.
Li Youdi walked out of the yamen in a daze. While walking, I was still thinking about what was going on, could it be that the county magistrate saw that they were not serious in their work before, and punished them severely, so now they are doing things well.
Mo Tingyu didn't understand what Li Youdi was thinking, he only knew that the county magistrate managed the yamen well, so they did things smoothly.
Mo Tingyu, who had never come to the Yamen to do business, didn't understand the difference between the Yamen in the past and now, and he decided in his heart that Wei Changfeng, the county magistrate of Cangxi County, was a good official.
If the county magistrate is not a good official, he will not think about the people, let alone do things for the people.
Lord Wei is a good official, so the talents in the yamen are kind and easy to speak, not like the rumors say, the officials are all serious and have a very fierce face. I remembered that the last time I sued the kidnappers in the Yamen, Wei Changfeng didn't kill them, he was also very polite to them, and he cared about them very much. After thinking about this, I decided that Wei Changfeng was a good official, "The officials in our county government are very kind, and they are also very good, these are all well managed by Lord Wei!"
