The peasant girl is not strong

Chapter 172 Inquiry about land prices
Meng Zhaojun and his mother's visiting group had dinner in the town. The noble ladies had a steelyard in their hearts, but they didn't speak out the words in their hearts.

After they went back in the afternoon, Meng Zhaojun had no idea of ​​buying land. At noon the next day, the Magistrate Meng, who had been busy all morning, went back to the backyard for lunch.

Meng Zhaojun and his elder brother, who was already on vacation, came to his mother's yard for lunch. During the meal, Meng County Magistrate told his family that many people went to various villages and townships to buy land today.

The Tang family was even faster, they only visited the Ye family's orchard yesterday, they sent people to buy land in Bushen Village yesterday afternoon, and today they came to the county government office to ask the master to write paperwork and draw notes.

After listening to the words of the husband, the wife smiled and congratulated the husband. The tour group he set up this time was very effective.

"Haha, I still have your help, madam. No wonder more people say that if a man wants to be successful, there is a woman behind him to support him. It is my good fortune to be able to marry my wife."

County magistrate Meng heard his wife's congratulations. While he was delighted to appreciate his wife, he felt that his friend hoped to pass this year's assessment results, which represented a chance for his family to go to Beijing and him to become a Beijing official.

"Congratulations, father, my son's visit this time has also opened his eyes." Meng Ruixiang also said with a smile, clasping his fists.

Seeing the smiling faces of her parents and brother, Meng Zhaojun felt her heart skip a beat.

Obviously she also went to investigate yesterday, why didn't she think of sending someone to buy the land immediately.

Meng Zhaojun felt that she was still too immature, her family had no experience in teaching her to do business, and she had no experience in doing business in her previous life, so she didn't grasp the same opportunity at the first time.

No wonder those rich businessmen are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. They will not grasp the opportunities before them, and will always be one step behind others.

Meng Zhaojun reflected on himself, ate quickly, left his mother's yard, and went back to his own yard.

In the past year, she has cooperated with another factory to imitate and earned some money in dividends. She opened the box containing the money, but she still doesn't know the price of buying and selling high-grade paddy fields to wasteland or mountains.

If you want to know these prices, you have to ask someone to ask the master, who knows the price of the land in the entire county.

It's not easy to ask my father about this matter, maybe my father is a parent officer, and maybe he knows the prices, and I leave everything to the master to write down, so it's better to find the master than to find the father.

Meng Zhaojun summoned the maid beside him and asked her to inquire about the price of the land.

"Yes"

The maid walked out, she couldn't go to the yamen, so she had to find the butler again, and handed over this matter to the butler.

The butler also followed the tour group today, and after listening to the order of the maid next to the young lady, it was a little clear, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

So he was ordered to ask the master. The master was busy from morning to noon, and was invited to dinner by the people of the Tang family. He originally invited the county magistrate, but the county magistrate said that these business matters should be left to the master.

In fact, County Magistrate Meng wanted to avoid suspicion, to prevent him from being assessed, and others to use some of his things to report him.

So hard work is for the assessment, he will not eat a meal or two, and be caught by someone, so he has to be cautious.

Butler Meng looked for the master, but the master was still eating and did not come back, so he could only wait outside.

Finally, when the master came back from dinner, the master thought that the county magistrate Meng was looking for him.

I only found out after asking. Butler Meng asked the land price, the price of the land in the whole county, and asked some middle-aged people who sold the land to know.

The master is also recorded here, and he handles all these things such as issuing documents, calligraphy and painting.

For example, he can know the sudden price increase in some places and the price drop.

The housekeeper wrote it down in a notebook, and the price of the land in each place was clearly written.

The master glanced at the butler, with such a responsible attitude, then smiled and said to him:

"Meng Butler, do you want to invest? Want to buy some land for yourself as a landlord?"

"No, no, no, as a housekeeper, I can go wherever my master wants to go. I can't manage the land even if I bought it. If I have money, I might as well buy a house or a store."

Meng Butler thinks that if you manage a line of business, even if you have money, you can't invest indiscriminately. Don't look at others starting to get rich. The money invested by others will only get benefits if you spend a lot of heart and mind.

"Butler Meng, is it Madam who wants to buy land? If Madam wants to buy land, just ask Your Excellency."

The master actually felt that Madam also wanted to buy the land, but it was not easy to come forward and ask him.

"It's not Madam who wants to buy the land, it's Madam who sent someone to ask this old slave to ask."

"Miss? What if the lady wants to buy land? What I just said is just some normal prices, just like the land in Bushen Village. It is also a rural land, but the price is higher than that in other villages."

"For another example, when I visited the land around the Ye Family Manor yesterday, it was more expensive than the land in other places in Bushen Village, and even more expensive than the land in other villages. The price was similar to that in the suburbs of the county."

After listening to the master's words, Meng Butler felt that he was careful enough just now, but he ignored this point, and sighed that it is no wonder that the master can be a master, not only with a meticulous mind, but also a strong memory.

"Oh, so that's the case. Thank you for reminding me, master. Could you please tell me about the price of Bushen Village, the prices around Zaijia Manor, and the prices of the surrounding hills and mountains."

The master told Butler Meng that the price of land and mountains has increased recently. If the lady wants to go to those high-priced lands, she can choose another one.

Meng Butler listened to the master's suggestion and said that he would talk to the young lady's maid.

Butler Meng didn't dare to delay the master's time any longer, so he hurried to report to Miss.

After Master Meng went out, he went to see the county magistrate and told him that the land documents bought by the Tang family and the Ye family had been written and signed by them.

The two parties have already written the paperwork and completed the sale this time.

When Meng county magistrate heard the news, of course he smiled, which facilitated the sale and collected some taxes.

"By the way, my lord, just now Steward Meng came to ask me the price of the land."

The master doesn't know if the elder knows, but as a master, he is very cautious and absolutely loyal to the elder.

"Oh, did he say who he asked for?"

County magistrate Meng thought that maybe he had visited other wives and asked his wife, and asked his wife to ask about the land price, so he was ashamed to bother the master.

The communication between the wives is through letters or ordinary gatherings.

"I heard that the young lady asked the maid to ask, and the housekeeper was just running errands."

"It's Jun'er? Well, I see."

County magistrate Meng didn't say anything anymore, guessing in his heart that his daughter had an idea, and she left in a hurry during lunch, so it was because of this matter.

The little girl thought in her heart that she didn't even talk about their husband and wife, and didn't ask her father directly, but let outsiders ask outsiders.

As a father, he sometimes doesn't know what his daughter thinks. The daughter who has been smart since she was a child is more like an adult than an adult, which really makes them a husband and wife.

I can only support her and give her subsidies.
