Chapter 197: Building a House

300 acres of land is not a small amount, just like the village chief's daughter-in-law thought, after buying the land, ploughing the land, hoeing weeds, fertilizing fertilizer, sowing seeds, everything needs manpower.

Why is Douer Village so poor?

In addition to the poor harvest, there are also reasons why there are no large households in the village.

In other villages, there will be more or less one or two families with rich land and rich families, only Dou'er Village, a poor peasant in a village, and none of them have surplus grain and silver.

The few children earned every day are not enough for the family to eat, where can they be saved.

Thinking of this, he returned to the patriarch's house again.

As soon as they said that they were going to buy 300 acres of land, the patriarch couldn't sit still.

He paced on the spot with his hands behind his back, smoking and smoking the dry tobacco in his hand.

"According to what you said, if they buy the land first, let them stay, they can't say that our village, this is to meet a nobleman"

The old patriarch is already sixty-three this year, two generations older than the village.

The people in the village generally have a short lifespan, and there are a few who live to the age of fifty, such as the old patriarch who lives to the sixtieth birthday, which is already considered a long life, and the village chief complained in his heart that the patriarch had suspected that people had a bad heart, but now he feels that the other party is a nobleman.

Thinking so in his heart, he didn't dare to speak out and contradict him, otherwise the old patriarch would have chased him out with a cane and beat him.

The village chief was also happy, and the patriarch agreed, and returned home.

Bai Xia and they were still sitting, and after talking about the conditions in the village, Bai Xia raised his eyebrows and did not make a sound.

The matter of talking to the village chief was handed over to Yu Dahai, who heard that they had to buy land before they could take them in, Yu Dahai was not angry, just stayed.

Immediately discussed with the village chief.

Bai Xia and a few people sat bored, and couldn't help but walk around the yard, looking at the mountains and rivers of this village, the villagers worked hard, and at a glance, it was still a dilapidated thatched house.

Compared with the Lijia Village where she once lived, she was much poorer.

"Who said that hard work and getting rich, just looking at the situation in this village, if there is no change, no matter how hard it is, I am afraid that it will be the life of poverty for a lifetime"

Bai Xia shook his head and sighed.

The most difficult thing in ancient times was that the transportation was inconvenient and the information was not available.

Everyone has no way to make a living, but the grain output is still low, and they are giving birth to babies.

It is said that there are more children and more blessings, this is because there are more children, so that more people can work, and if the yield is low, there can only be many varieties, but in this way, there will be more people, less people, and the land can not be planted, only starvation.

Even so, a family with more than a dozen acres is considered good.

It can't be less, if there is less, people will starve to death, and it can't be more, and if you can't plant more, you have to pay taxes on time.

These days, it's not going to get any better.

She sighed under her breath.

She has come to the best era, she has seen the most beautiful era, and then look at these, she is already poor and uncomfortable, if she encounters a faint tyrant again, the taxes will increase, and the people will not be able to make a living.

People are the foundation of a world!

The village is poor, with few people and a lot of land.

A lot of idle land on the east side of the village could not be sold, and the people in the village could not afford it, so it remained deserted.

It's just that there are no 300 acres there, only about 200 acres, and the other villages in the south, north, and west of the village have each gathered 100 acres, and the 300 acres of land have been settled.

Bai Xia immediately handed over the silver, and the village chief wrote the title deed, which will be sent to the town tomorrow to be sealed.

There must be a red seal of the government to count the title deed.

Bai Xia and the others were also afraid that the village chief would turn their faces and not recognize people, so they simply asked him to bring forward the time of stamping, and after setting the dilapidated house in the east of the village, and connecting the surrounding land as a homestead, Yu Dahai took the village chief to the town with a carriage to stamp the seal.

The three of Bai Xia's master and servant came to the location of the dilapidated house.

There were several large holes in the canopy, and the guys inside had already emptied them, leaving only an empty shelf.

"This ...... This is a little broken, why don't Miss Xia live in my house first, and then move here when you get the house up? ”

The village chief's daughter-in-law came with her, and she also brought some useful guys.

Looking at the house that no one has lived in in the past few years, and it has been dilapidated, I am a little embarrassed.

"Auntie is polite, I think I can live in it"

The village chief's family is also very small, where can they entertain them, and besides, they also have their own secrets, and it is always inconvenient to live in someone else's house.

"Then I'll help you clean up together"

"Trouble Auntie"

The village chief's daughter-in-law didn't persuade much, but it was true that her own family was not much better than here.

Several people entered the house, picked up brooms and handkerchiefs to clean, and there were bedding and other things on the carriage, all rolled up in boxes, and after cleaning up, Feng Jinxi followed the village chief's daughter-in-law up the mountain to cut a bundle of grass and spread it on the roof, which was considered to have blocked the hole above.

"Why don't you go to my house to eat today? You can't fire either."

The village chief's daughter-in-law gritted her teeth, and saw that half of the stove in the house had collapsed, and they were afraid that they would not be able to make food, and it would be too late to build it, for fear that these people would be hungry.

Although there is not much food at home, when people first come to the house, they are buying houses and land, and they always have to entertain them.

Bai Xia glanced at Jin Xi, Jin Xi nodded, and took out a cloth bag from the box stacked outside, which should be about three catties of grain.

Bai Xia took the grain and handed it to the village chief's daughter-in-law.

"Then it's troublesome aunt, it's just that it's not good to eat your food in vain, these grains are all our food, you can accept it, and you have to worry about arranging it"

The heavy grain fell into her arms, and the village chief's daughter-in-law was stunned for a moment, first happy, and then thought that people had just come and had a meal, where could they still receive other people's food, and now the food is precious.

"I can't do it, I can't do it"

She pushed the grain into Bai Xia's arms, and said as she pushed: "I have to collect your food for this meal, what kind of person has that aunt become?"

Her eyes were full of reluctance, but she resolutely refused to accept it.

"Auntie, let's take it, everyone's life is not easy, I see that your children are also thin, and we don't have the cheekiness to eat your family, if you really don't accept it, then we are embarrassed to come to the door"

Bai Xiahu blushed, and there was a big meaning that if she didn't accept it, they wouldn't go to eat.

The village chief's daughter-in-law reluctantly accepted it.

Then he happily went home with the bag in his arms.

"Miss, why did you give so much food, how can we eat so much for a few of us?"

Seeing the village chief's daughter-in-law leave, Yun Shu opened his mouth a little unhappily.

She had suffered a hard life without food, and she attached great importance to food in her eyes, and when she saw that such a large bag of food had been given away, she thought of the amount of food that her group could eat, and she was so distressed that she couldn't do it.

Jinxi has never suffered this hardship, but he also doesn't understand it.

"Although this stove collapsed, but we brought a lot of dry food, it will be overnight, why did the young lady send them food?"

Bai Xia walked to the bed and sat down, pretending that after a day, he could finally rest.

"There are many places to trouble them in the future, and they are kindly invited, and it is not good to refuse, if you come to the door, you always have to send something"

"To send something, you still have to send it to people's hearts"
