Escape from the famine at the beginning: I rely on space to spoil Lord Shoufu

"Really?"

Tao Xi's eyes were shining brightly, thinking that the biggest isolated island was about to become hers, she was elated.

I can't wait to go to that isolated island for a run now.

"Of course it's true."

Gu Yan took out a contract from his arms and spread it out in front of Jian Shiming.

"Brother Jian, please take a look."

It was written in black and white at the door that the isolated island of more than 300 mu belonged to Jian Shiming and Taoxi, and a seal was stamped on it.

But they only have land rights, and this land still belongs to Dafeng.

This is an uninhabited island, and there are still dangers on it. King Jing meant that Gu Yan could collect as much money as he wanted, so Gu Yan wrote ten taels of silver on it.

King Jing was grateful to Tao Xi and Jian Shiming, so he reduced their taxes for three years and gave them three years to open up wasteland.

Jian Shiming frowned after reading it, pointed to the name on it and said, "Brother Gu, this land belongs to my wife, so there is no need to write my name."

Jian Shiming is self-aware, all his possessions are only a little money, and he can't afford this isolated island at all.

"It belongs to sister-in-law?"

Gu Yan expressed shock. He knew that Tao Xi was smart, but he never thought that Tao Xi was the master of the whole family.

Tao Xi also took a look at the deed, "Master Gu, it's impossible for this isolated island to only have ten taels of silver.

You should still sell it to me at the market price, and you can give me some discounts. We have to write clearly in black and white. "

If she took it for nothing, what if the island she built is too attractive, what if they take it back?
Tao Xi is not stupid and sweet, he doesn't want to spend all his time making wedding dresses for others.

Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the couple's request to be so weird, and they didn't take advantage of it, he asked again;
"Are you sure you only write your sister-in-law's name?"

"determine."

Jian Shiming is very determined, he will work hard to earn his share in the future.

But the earning is also the wife's, but the share that belongs to the wife should belong to his wife.

After Jian Shiming finished speaking, he looked at his younger brothers and sisters, and all of them had firm faces, obviously agreeing with his thoughts.

Gu Yan took a deep breath, then looked at Tao Xi again: "Sister-in-law, are you sure you want to buy that island?"

With more than 300 mu of land, Dafeng's land is not expensive, but it costs one tael of silver per mu, which is not cheap for Jian Shiming and the others.

This was Gu Yan's special discount for them, but they didn't expect them to accept it!
Tao Xi looked firm, "I'm sure. Besides, if possible, I would like to buy this back mountain as well."

Tao Xi pointed to the back mountain behind them, only the mountain land was hers, and no one would gossip about the way back and forth.

Gu Yan: ...

His eyeballs almost popped out in shock, and he went to look at Jian Shiming, but Jian Shiming silently agreed with Tao Xi's words.

That is to say he has no opinion?
Gu Yan took a deep breath, "The back mountain is at least a few thousand acres, so it's not cheap."

"Well."

Tao Xi thought for a while, then said: "Then buy the half of the mountain behind our house, not the ones in Lishu Village."

Buying too much will easily lead to suspicion, but the area of ​​half a mountain is also quite large, and Gu Yanren is numb.

But facing the serious eyes of Tao Xi and Jian Shiming, it was still difficult to speak.

"Then I have to go to Yun County to get you a new contract."

"It just so happens that I'm going to Yun County to exchange money, so let's go together."

Tao Xi couldn't wait any longer, she desperately wanted to own her own personal property.

Jian Shiming also got up and put on his coat, "Brother Gu, let's go to Yun County together."

"it is good."

The corners of Gu Yan's mouth twitched, they were really the first to rush to give away the money.

So Tao Xi told her younger siblings to take care of the house at home, and she and Jian Shiming drove the ox cart to Yun County quickly.

Gu Yan took them directly to the yamen of Yun County, found out the county magistrate and changed the contract for them.

The master moved the abacus and said with a grin: "The land on the other side of the isolated island is worthless, half a tael for an acre, a total of 340 mu, a total of 170 taels.

The land in your back mountain has not been measured yet. We calculate it according to one thousand mu, one tael of silver per mu, a total of 1000 taels.

In the end, the total was 170 taels. The adults said to go to your back mountain to measure the land in the afternoon. "

Tao Xi glanced at Jian Shiming and nodded slightly when he saw that he had helped to check the contract carefully.

"can."

Tao Xi signed his name on the deed, and took out 1000 taels of silver notes from his sleeve. This silver note was obtained from selling Gu Yan's grain, and it was also looted from the cottage earlier.

In addition, Tao Xi also took out a cloth bag, which contained 200 taels of broken silver and copper plates.

This is what she usually gets from selling grain, and the county magistrate and Gu Yan couldn't make her feel rich, so she frowned in distress.

"My lord, it's just right."

Gu Yanhe County Magistrate Master: ...

The two looked at the banknotes and coins piled up on the table, and sighed silently in their hearts, are all the country people so rich now?
As if anticipating their thoughts, Tao Xi frowned and said, "I don't know when the imperial examination will be resumed, so I will put the travel expenses I saved for my husband's exam first.

After the weather is better, I will earn money again. "

She sighed depressingly on purpose, but in the eyes of the master and Gu Yan, this is obviously already very good.

After all, for ordinary country people, if they can have a deposit of ten taels of silver at home, it is already a woman who is in charge of the house.

Jian Shiming smiled and said: "My wife has always been frugal, and she helped a nobleman before, and that person rewarded my wife a lot."

In addition to the rewards that Gu Yan sent, it's no wonder Tao Xi made such a generous move.

Gu Yan expressed his understanding for a while, and suggested to the two of them very sincerely:

"Last year was a disaster year, and the shops in Yun County are now much empty. If you buy it, it's a good deal."

Tao Xi's eyes lit up immediately, but he quickly held back and said, "Our family doesn't have enough money, alas!"

Gu Yan: ...

He just looked at her brighter than anything else.

Thinking of what King Jing rewarded last time, Gu Yan handed the deed to Tao Xi, and said:
"I still have some of the things that King Jing rewarded you last time. Do you want to take them with me this time?"

"it is good!"

Tao Xi was elated, and after leaving the county office, she followed Gu Yan to the inn, waiting to see many pear wood boxes in the room.

In the box were women's jewelry, men's clothes and fabrics, and even rare pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Tao Xi was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth immediately.

"The prince is really polite, and we didn't help much."

Jian Shiming also said a few words in a polite manner, and Gu Yan twitched speechlessly seeing the appearance of the two couples who were obsessed with money.

"We need to escort you back to the village."

"No, no, we can do it."

Tao Xi didn't want to make the villagers jealous by being so careless, she planned to throw things into the space as soon as she left the village.

Presumably Jian Shiming would not object, he did not object, he obeyed Tao Xi's words.

Gu Yi led people to load the things into their ox cart, Gu Yan was still a little worried.

"Brother Jian, do you really not need our escort?"
