"This farm has 40 acres of fertile land, and if you want to bulldoze it and build a house, I'm afraid you have to agree to the village." Jia Yun touched her chin and said.

Li Gui's Zhuangzi is located in Heitu Village, twenty miles east of Shenjing City.

As its name suggests, the soil is black and the land is fertile, and Li Gui's 40 acres of land occupies the best fertile land in the village.

In ancient times, farmers regarded land as more important than life, and when there was a drought last year, Heitu Village and Baiyun Village next door killed two people in order to compete for summer irrigation.

If Shen Liang wants to build a house on the fertile land, I am afraid that he will be jointly sued by the village sages to Shuntianfu.

Shen Liang was annoyed in his heart, he did take it for granted, thinking that he could open the way with money, but he ignored the barren land resources in feudal society.

Especially close to the capital, the land is even more valuable.

"Then is there any way to build a larger factory, and it doesn't need good land, it only needs to be large enough." Shen Liang asked.

Jia Yun said: "That's okay, but Hua Zifang is from the city, and if she goes to Heitu Village, I'm afraid she will be bullied, and the mountains there are high and the emperor is far away, if you don't help......"

Jia Yun didn't say it explicitly, but Shen Liang could hear the meaning.

Unlike later societies, feudal societies pay attention to a peaceful land, and some people can't get out of a radius of ten miles in their lives.

The village is where their ancestors have lived for generations, and there are very few outsiders who can intervene.

Moreover, there are many relatives in the same village.

Shen Liang rubbed his fingers, "Can't you do it?" ”

After some careful consideration in the past few days, Shen Liang decided to establish his own basic plate outside the Jia Mansion.

The start-up capital is already there, but there is a lack of a base, a base that has nothing to do with Jiafu.

And he can't use his own name, after all, he has a very heavy brand of Jiafu, and even if he makes achievements in the future, he will all be dealt with by Jiafu.

As the old saying goes, "Whoever is the son of man shall not accumulate personal wealth." The income of the land and the house is all returned to the parents, and when they are used, they are invited to use it, and they dare not take a private leave (borrow) or dare to be private. ”

It means that everything a child has must belong to his parents, and his or her parents must consent to use it.

Shen Liang didn't want to earn money by himself to feed the Jia family's large group of moths.

You don't see Lin Ruhai's millions of furniture, all of which were embezzled by Rongguo Mansion, and when you see Daguan Garden, Jia Mansion, Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian, Lai Dajia, Zhou Rui's family, and Lin Zhixiao's family swallowed the million taels of silver cleanly.

The expenses of Rongguo Mansion were even more astronomical, and in the end, the flesh and blood sucked by the Jia family were dried up.

So before cleaning up these moths in the Jia family, Shen Liang was unwilling to take a dime from home.

Seeing Shen Liang frowning, Jia Yun said: "Actually, it's not impossible, as long as you find someone from your village as a guarantor, the village sages will also turn a blind eye." ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier, could it be that you have someone you are familiar with?"

Jia Yun smiled and said, "Actually, you also know this person. ”

"I know that too?"

Jia Yun said: "It is the original owner of this land, Li Gui. ”

Shen Liang suddenly realized that this Li Gui was originally from Heitu Village, and his father Li Fugui was the village chief of Heitu Village, and he had some prestige, or he also divined the best forty acres of fertile land in Heitu Village.

It's just that Mama Li entered Jia's Mansion later, and even took Li Gui to become Jia Baoyu's personal entourage.

The industry in Heitu Village is gradually deserted, and without him, it is not eye-catching at all.

After all, every year of hard work, facing the loess and turning his back to the sky in the ground, it is only a few taels of silver a year, which is not enough to pay the poll tax.

simply contracted all the land and property to other tenants in the village, and then Li Fugui enjoyed happiness in Heitu Village, and his wife and son entered Jiafu to enjoy the life of people in the city.

During the New Year's holidays, Mama Li and her son went back to the village to see the old man.

Shen Liang thought about it seriously, but still didn't make up his mind.

Jia Yun continued: "This Li Gui's father, Li Fugui, has a very high prestige in Heitu Village, and Li Fugui must be invited to preside over large and small affairs, weddings and funerals in the village.

In the end, he killed someone, and it was Li Fugui who invited the funeral team and paid for it himself, so the people in the village obeyed him.

If he comes forward, he will definitely be able to draw a good land boundary for us. ”

Shen Liang exclaimed: "It seems that you have really put in a lot of effort, and in just two or three days, you have actually touched the Black Soil Village so well!" ”

Jia Yun said: "Thank you for the second master's compliment, this is my duty, but in the past few days, the inspection in and out of the city has been stricter, otherwise it can be more detailed." ”

Shen Liang pinched his eyebrows: "It's a pity that I can't go out of the house, so I can't go with you to see the actual situation in Heitu Village." ”

Leaning against the big tree to enjoy the shade, Shen Liang possessed Jia Baoyu, and indeed gained a lot of convenience, but he also received a lot of constraints, such as not being able to move around casually, and having dozens of pairs of eyes staring at him at any time.

He believed that as soon as he left the house, someone would immediately report to Shi Lao Taijun, Jia Zheng, and Mrs. Wang.

Jia Yun said respectfully: "The second master is a golden body, how can he personally take risks, and besides, the remote realm such as Heitu Village is not a place where you should go." ”

Shen Liang thought about it repeatedly, and felt that it was not necessary, it was a big deal to knock on this Li Gui, recruit him back, and be a hostage: "This matter will be handed over to you to handle, you inform Li Gui, I want 100 acres of space, it is best to be on the edge of the water source, the land is barren, if it is done, he will come back to be his duty." ”

"If you need to spend money, just tell me, and I'll figure it out."

Jia Yun exclaimed: "The second master has a tolerant heart, and if he is a bystander, he has long cut off contact with Mama Li's family, so that Mama Li, Li Gui's mother and son will be grateful to you. ”

Shen Liang pulled Jia Yun to plot again, finalizing the general structure of the site and the budget required for construction.

Regarding the construction problem, Jia Yun also said that he didn't understand, but at present, there is a famine around Shenjing City, and there are many refugees who have fled.

Moreover, there is a hill behind the black soil village, the mountain is rich in forest resources, and the black soil village, Baiyun Village, Huangmen Village, Liushu Village, and Hujia Village under the mountain all rely on this hill to live.

The timber used by the families to build their houses was cut from this hill.

Jia Yun has made full preparations for these things.

However, although the money for labor and raw materials has been saved a lot, Shen Liang wants to build a hundred-acre manor, and according to his requirements, the courtyard wall must be at least four meters high.

In this way, seven hundred taels of silver is just a drop in the bucket.

If you want to build a 100-acre site, you have to get at least 5,000 taels of silver.

This does not include the tiled houses in the courtyard, maybe eight thousand taels will not be able to fight.
