Chapter 124 Buying Wasteland

There were nearly [-] refugees in total, and Chen Xingyan really couldn't run out of them.

And the price of this wasteland is unknown, if it is too expensive, then she can't afford it.

"Which town is in charge of this wasteland?"

Lu Daxiong glanced at it and said: "You have to ask your superiors. This side of the wasteland is our Qingshui Town, and the other side is Shuangyang Town. As for this place, it has always been a three-way zone."

Anyway, there is no one, no arable land, who would be willing to come here?
"Then you can ask your superiors. If you can manage it, that would be the best. Then we will build a Zhuangzi here."

Chen Xingyan was a little excited. He would soon have his own Zhuangzi. Whether it was enjoying the scenery or ripening his own medicinal materials, it would be so convenient.

After all, the whole land will be hers by then, and she will have less scruples about what to do.

Sandy land is not suitable for planting some major crops, because the land does not store water and needs more fertilization. For ordinary people, this is simply too big a problem.

Among other things, just fertilizing the crops now, there is no other fertilizer except for retting some soil fertilizer.

Furthermore, if wheat is grown, the land needs to be watered twice as much as other crops. Where does the water come from?

Although this piece of wasteland is not too far from the river, the problem is that there is still a forest in front of it. Even if there is a source of water, it must be picked slowly.

If it becomes her own land, she can consider digging a canal, but this has to be approved by the county magistrate.

Don't think that you can do whatever you want in ancient times. There are many levels of checkpoints here, but she has Lu Daxiong as her backer, so it will be much more convenient for her to do things.

Lu Daxiong moved quickly. The county magistrate was somewhat curious when he heard that they were going to buy the wasteland.

"Have you visited that wasteland?"

"Go back to my lord, I have read it."

"Well, according to the county records, crops were planted there, but more than ten years have passed. According to records, the output of one mu of land at that time was only more than one bushel. Do you know what this means?"

A bucket of rice is only about [-] catties, that is to say, after a year of hard work, the output of this field is not enough for one person's ration.

"Return to my lord, the next official knows, and this matter is also explained by my wife. She said that it is a pity that these wastelands are abandoned. They can be used to resettle some refugees. At the same time, she will find some experienced farmers to see what to plant. suitable crops."

The county magistrate nodded, since he understands that the output of some land is extremely low.

Lest you regret it in time, and come to yourself and cry.

"Did you just say to resettle Xinmin?"

"My lord, that's what my wife said."

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate was in a great mood again.

This is a very headache for him. If he can really settle part of it, then the pressure on him will be much less.

After all, the granaries in the county are not rich, and they can't all be used to help outsiders. These are all paid by the people in the county, so it makes no sense for these outsiders to use them up.

After listening to some of his requests, the county magistrate pondered for a moment.

"That piece of wasteland has more than 500 acres. In this way, I will give you [-] taels for the sake of your kindness and kindness. The only condition is that you will resettle more than [-] refugees, and I will not And then responsible for the food and clothing of these refugees, everything is up to you to figure out a way."

"Yes, my lord."

500 two?
Calculated, one mu of land is less than one tael of silver!

Lu Daxiong brought up the matter of digging the canal again, and the county magistrate naturally agreed, and soon Lu Daxiong left the county government with the approval document and the title deed.

Lu Daxiong himself was in a daze.

I didn't expect things to go so smoothly!

He originally thought it would cost at least 700 taels of silver, but he touched the remaining 200 taels of silver in his bosom now, feeling a little bit proud in his heart.

After returning home, he could use this to claim credit for his daughter-in-law, and maybe he could return some benefits in return. After thinking about it, Lu Daxiong's breathing became a lot faster.

Chen Xingyan was indeed a little surprised. He didn't expect that such a large piece of land could be taken for only 500 taels of silver.

However, after hearing the county magistrate's conditions, she didn't feel that she had taken much advantage.

After all, the food and drink expenses of these 100 people are not old or young.

Even if it is two meals a day, it still costs a lot of food.

"I'll leave it to you to deal with the refugee affairs. Try to pick some people with family and children. At that time, these people will easily get back their hearts. The household loan will also be left behind. Also, we have to get them to agree to sign with us. Contract, otherwise, no matter how honest we are, we won’t be able to use it.”

"Don't worry, I understand."

Chen Xingyan had already figured out how to plan the 500 mu of land.

In addition to watermelons, melons and sweet potatoes, there are naturally many fruit trees suitable for planting on this land.

The characteristics of sandy land determine its future development direction.

Chen Xingyan based on what he had seen and heard in his previous life, plus some experience from local farmers, and concluded that this place is suitable for planting fruit trees that are not resistant to stagnant water and like airy soil, such as cherry, apricot, pomegranate, jujube, and pear. , grapes, etc.

Chen Xingyan has been very busy recently because of the affairs of this land. In addition to making a plan, he also made a series of residential plans.

The county magistrate is not too stingy, in addition to the more than [-] mu of wasteland, he gave an additional vacant land, allowing them to build some houses here, these people must have land to live in, right?

The open space is not too big, it is just in front of the wasteland, if it is built according to the ordinary houses of farmers, it can build about twenty households.

Chen Xingyan still felt that the place was a bit small.

Fortunately, this piece of land is now under the jurisdiction of Qingshui Town, and Chen Xingyan is no longer timid about many things.

This wasteland is close to the river, and apart from a forest, there is basically no shelter.

Chen Xingyan was not in a hurry, and took it step by step. After the things here were planted, it would be good to plan her Scenic Manor.

Lu Daxiong chose people according to Chen Xingyan's intention, mainly considering young and strong people, and priority was given to those with family members.

When Lu Daxiong faced these refugees himself, he added another one, those who had served in the army were given priority.

In his opinion, those who have been in the military camp are hard-working, and they will no longer be impulsive, relatively speaking, they are relatively calm.

Chen Xingyan's plan is to resettle no more than 150 people. Among them, the strong labor force should not be less than [-]%. After all, land reclamation is still needed. We can't just resettle the old, weak, sick and disabled. She is not really just doing charity!
　In the new year, I hope everyone is safe, smooth, healthy and healthy!
