Chapter 292: Speaking of buying mountains

"Then I'll thank you Susu for my youngest son." After Xiao Zhuang heard that Huang Zisu now promised her youngest son that she could go to the Huang family to study medicine in the future, she thanked her with a look of surprise.

"It's a little thing, it's not worth thanking my sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law, doesn't this little baby have a name yet? Huang Zisu saw that Xiao Zhuang called this baby her little son, and she asked strangely.

"My father-in-law said that he would wait for the child to be named after 100 days.

Otherwise, Su Su, you will give this baby a name. Xiao Zhuang's eyes lit up, and he looked at Huang Shisu with some expectation and asked.

"Sister-in-law, naming the child is the work of the elders, so I won't interfere, the village chief is roasting the fire in the firewood room at the back! I went to him first. Huang Shisu shook his head, turned around and walked towards the firewood room in the backyard of the dealer's house.

After Huang Shisu came to the firewood room in the backyard of the Zhuang family, she saw the village chief Zhuang and his son repairing the utensils in the firewood room, and Zhuang Liu was holding a needle and thread to sew and mend it.

While the family was working, they also talked about the family's long and short things.

Zhuang Liu, who was sitting at the door sewing things, suddenly saw that the light in front of her dimmed, she looked up and looked forward, and when she saw Huang Shisu coming to her house, she showed great joy on her face, and hurriedly put down the things in her hand, and stepped forward to greet her: "Su Su, why did you come to my house, come into the house and sit!" Roast. ”

"Auntie, I came today to say something to the village chief's uncle." Huang Zisu approached the firewood room, she sat on the bench brought by Zhuang Xiaohe, she stretched out her palm and roasted the fire on the fire.

After Village Chief Zhuang saw that Huang Zisu came to his house, he didn't repair the utensils, looked at Huang Zisu and said with a smile: "Su Su, if you have something, you let people come over and squeak, Uncle will go to you, and you will have to run on a cold day." ”

"I'm fine anyway, so I should move my body.

I came to my uncle today because of two things.

The first thing is that now I have been canonized by the emperor as the head of the Zhengwupin Imperial Doctor, and there are 100 acres of land under his name that are exempt from field taxes.

After my third brother was admitted to Xiucai, he also had 20 acres of land under his name that could be exempted from field taxes.

My brother and sister have a total of 120 acres of land in their names that can be exempted from field taxes, but my family does not have so much land.

We can record the fields of the villagers in the name of our brothers and sisters, and exempt them from taxes, and we only collect half of the taxes for the villagers.

I don't know if some villagers are willing to do it, but if they do, they will bother the village chief to help our family move around, and by the way, we can collect half of the tax grain. Huang Shisu said directly to the village chief of Zhuang.

At this time, Zhuang Liu brought the pumpkin seeds fried from home and made tea.

Huang Shisu was not polite, grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds and swallowed them.

I didn't expect this pumpkin seed to be fragrant and delicious, and even the more I ate it, the more fragrant it became.

"This kind of good thing, there must be no one who refuses.

After all, the grain that can earn half of the tax revenue, and the family with more land can earn a few taels of silver, which is a win-win thing. When Village Chief Zhuang heard that this was such a good thing, he hurriedly agreed with a happy look on his face.

To this day, Village Chief Zhuang feels that the most correct decision he has made in his life is to settle the Huang family in their village.

Now the villagers in their village are not only healthy and long-lived, but also many villagers have made a fortune by relying on the Huang family.

As a result, the villagers of Shili and Eight Villages now want to marry the girls and guys of Yunhe Village.

They are all proud of marrying girls and guys from Yunhe Village.

"The second thing is, is there any precedent in our village for people to buy mountains, or there are people in our village who sell mountains?" Huang Shisu was most concerned about the second thing, she asked solemnly.

"Buy a mountain? What do you do when you buy mountains? The things in the mountains are ownerless anyway, so if you want anything, you just go directly into the mountains to pick and pick them.

Moreover, there is no precedent for buying a mountain in our village, and I have never heard of it. Village Chief Zhuang frowned and shook his head.

"There's a difference.

After buying the mountain, the mountain is the owner's thing, and the things in the mountain belong to our family, and no one can pick them without the consent of my family, otherwise it will be a crime.

And I bought the mountain with the intention of growing something for it. Huang Shisu explained a few words with some disappointment.

She originally thought that as long as she had money, she should be able to buy a mountain, but she couldn't do it if she had money.

"Dad, have you forgotten the dirt slope at the head of the village?" At this time, Zhuang Dahe reminded his father.

"That's right! How did I forget this place? After being reminded by his eldest son, Village Chief Zhuang smiled and patted his head.

"Uncle Village Chief, what's the situation with this dirt slope?" Huang Zisu on the side saw the appearance of the father and son of the village chief of Zhuang, and she knew that there should be a turnaround in the matter of buying the mountain.

"There is a dirt slope on the left side of the village! Susu, you should know! Village Chief Zhuang asked Huang Zisu.

"I naturally know that hillside, and that hillside is not small, but there are some shrubs and thorns growing on it, could it be that this hillside can be used for trading?" Huang Shisu also understood, and asked.

Every time they entered the village, they had to pass through the foot of the dirt slope.

This slope is more than ten miles horizontally and more than five miles longitudinally, and if this slope can be used for buying and selling, it is very suitable for buying and planting trees.

"This soil slope is relatively steep, one is not suitable for pit fields, and another reason is that there are more stones in this soil slope, which is also difficult to reclaim, and it is difficult to clean up the stones in the soil slope, which is time-consuming and laborious.

Second, this soil slope is a little far away from the water source, and it is inconvenient to water back and forth, and after a series of reasons add up, this soil slope will be abandoned after a long time.

After the yamen learned about this, they originally wanted to sell it to a wealthy family to build a village on the soil slope.

It's just that no one bought it, and the slope has been vacant.

Su Su, if you think that the dirt slope is suitable and suitable for your family's use, Uncle will go to the yamen and ask how this dirt slope is bought and sold. After thinking of this dirt slope, Village Chief Zhuang explained to Huang Shisu.

"What is the quality of the soil on the slope? Is it suitable for planting trees? Huang Zisu asked.

"The soil slope can be cultivated for farming, and the soil quality is naturally nothing to say, and planting trees is naturally a problem.

It's just that the soil slope is a little steep, and there are a lot of rocks in it, so it won't delay your family from planting trees. Zhuang Dahe knew the situation of the soil slope, and he hurriedly said.

"On the slope of the soil, whether you can dig a well, or find a water source." Huang Shisu continued to ask.

"To be honest, the soil slope is a bit steep, and it is a little far from the ground, and it is difficult to dig a well on the soil slope to get water!

However, if you are willing to spend time and money, and spend a lot of manpower and material resources to make people survey the ground and drill wells, there are still some hopes that you can find a water source, but this is not a thing that will necessarily succeed, it depends on luck. Village Chief Zhuang pondered for a moment, and he didn't dare to guarantee it, for fear of delaying the affairs of the Huang family.

Since the Huang family wants to buy mountains and plant trees, the Huang family must have made a big move.
