Chapter 76 Buying Land
Li Zheng instructed Li Yifu: "Build ten more granaries for emergencies."

"Ten? Wouldn't it be too many."

"There are still a lot of confiscations. When the corn, pumpkin and rice are ripe, it will be more troublesome."

Li Yifu listened and nodded, although he didn't know what kind of food Li Zheng was talking about.

I have eaten potatoes myself, and they taste very good after being cooked, soft and glutinous.

Eat one or two and you'll be full.

Li Yifu thought about the potatoes in this warehouse. Even if the whole village stopped farming, they could eat these potatoes for a year and have a bumper harvest next year.

Li Zheng said to Li Yifu, "You used to be the county magistrate, right?"

Li Yifu nodded, "I did do it for a while."

"That's very familiar with the things the county magistrate should do and the official dealings."

"That's natural."

Li Yifu nodded confidently, saying that he was really not good at other things.

"If the county wants to talk about other things, the subordinates may be good at it, but if you want to talk about the officialdom, not to mention how clever you can be, it's okay to be like a duck in water."

Li Zheng said suspiciously, "Then why are you still like this?"

"This one……"

Li Yifu was suffocated for a while.

Today's court can be regarded as politically clear, and people like Li Yifu really have little room for improvement.

Besides, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are now in charge, and the backbone of the court is still there.

There is a shortage of people in the DPRK, but there is no shortage of people like Li Yifu who are better than others.

Besides, this guy is too slick, and the current court still pays attention to hard work.

People like Li Yifu might not be so easy to rise.

"Does the county have any orders?"

Li Yifu deliberately changed the subject, and really didn't want to talk about his tragic experiences, thinking that he is still waiting for the people in the court to discover my dusty gold.

Li Zheng said to him, "I want to buy land, what do you think should be done about this kind of thing."

Li Yifu asked repeatedly, "Buy land?"

The Tang Dynasty was not interested in buying land, and very few people bought land.

If you want to sell and buy farmland, it will definitely not work. If you can pay the taxes of the court, it will be messed up.

"Xianzi, this land is not easy to buy."

Watching the villagers harvest potatoes, Li Zheng asked again, "What do you mean by not being able to buy it? You mean you can buy it?"

Li Yifu nodded, "According to today's Tang law, if you want to buy or sell land, you must report to the county magistrate, and the governor of each state will give you a personal approval, and this approval will generally not be given to you."

"Then what about my higher price?"

Li Yifu sighed, "A higher price won't do either. It's not a matter of buying and selling. For example, the county can own so much land because of the gift from His Majesty today."

Li Zheng nodded, "I understand this. From the prince to the prince, to the county magistrate and then down to the tenant households, each household has a fixed number."

Li Yifu said again, "One more question from the lower official, what is the county's land used for?"

"To build a house, I plan to buy all the land at the back of our residential area to build a house, and the land can't grow food."

To build houses, according to Li Zheng's previous statement, a total of [-] houses will be built.

Judging from the current situation, there are at least a thousand buildings, and how much land is needed for a thousand houses, no matter how many hundreds of acres.

Seeing Li Yifu's face in trouble, Li Zheng asked, "Is it difficult to do?"

Li Yifu solemnly nodded, "It's really not easy to handle, Jingyang is not like other counties, and Jingyang is still managed by Chang'an in general. Even if you can buy the county officials, the officials in the court will not be easy to settle."

"Then the officials in the court are also bought."

Seeing what Li Zheng said so lightly, the head of Li Yi's house was getting bigger, "Xianzi, it's not good to start the investigation right now."

"Really? Do you have acquaintances in court?"

"There are a few, but all of them are not high-ranking officials."

Li Zheng sighed: "Look at you, you are unreliable at critical times."

Li Yifu said, "Why don't you go and ask His Royal Highness King Wei, he must be able to do things well. Xiaguan is really a clever woman who can't cook without rice. If Xiaguan can enter the three provinces, it must be done for the county."

Reminds me of Lee Tae...

Li Zheng scratched his head and said, "You can try it first, or don't touch him, you don't want to owe him favors."

"Then the officer will go to work."

Li Yifu left the village and came to the county office in Jingyang.

The county officials here are very polite to Li Yifu, and they all know that Li Yifu is now working for Jingyang County.

Who is the son of Jingyang County, he is a big celebrity today, and he must not be offended.

The county magistrate asked Li Yifu to sit in the seat and asked, "But what is the county's order?"

"Of course I have orders now, otherwise I won't come here." Li Yifu said: "The county wants to buy land."

"Buy land? How big is the land?"

"Not much, that is, six or seven hundred acres."

"This..." The county magistrate hesitated.

Li Yifu folded his sleeves and said, "It's the land north of Jingyang. It can't be used to grow food, and the county is used to build houses."

"Alright... let's do it." The county magistrate nodded.

Li Yifu patted the county magistrate on the shoulder and said, "Do your best, maybe someday the magistrate will promote you."

"Where you dare to be, where you dare to be."

The county magistrate nodded and bowed to see Li Yifu. After the people left, the county magistrate wrote a memorial and sent it to Chang'an.

In Chang'an, Sun Chong, a high-ranking official under the door, has been in the province for some time.

Since coming here, it seems that even the prince has alienated himself.

All I do here are trivial things, and occasionally I have to deal with some memorials sent by various counties.

In some counties, even trivial matters must be reported to the palace.

I have to talk to a group of old guys here all day long, and I have to deal with it.

Always thinking about surpassing Li Zheng.

Thinking about it now, Changsun Chong felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

After being sent to Menxia Province, there are fewer opportunities for him to make meritorious deeds.

There are fewer and fewer opportunities to meet the prince, so how can we talk about meritorious service?

Changsun Chong was unconvinced in every possible way.

The official sent a memorial and said, "Eldest grandson, please take a look at Jingyang's memorial."

Changsun Chong took the memorial in annoyance, and looking at the contents above, at first glance, it turned out to be related to Li Zheng.

Jingyang County wants to buy [-] mu of wasteland north of Jingyang.

It is said that His Majesty has given Li Zheng a lot of fiefs, and Li Zheng's fiefs have long exceeded the fiefs that a county should have.

What is he going to do so much?
After thinking for a while, Changsun Chong wrote a no on the memorial, "It can be sent back."

When the officials saw the memorial, they immediately ran to issue it.

Upon receiving the news, Li Zheng sat at home and sighed.

Li Tai looked at Li Zheng's expression and asked, "What's wrong? With a downcast face, have you lost any money?"

"No." Li Zheng shook his head.

"What else makes you so sad than losing money."
