One thousand two hundred taels of silver is a huge sum of money for Bai Zhiqing's family.

After Bai Zhiqing brought back the silver note, Bai Molin began to figure out how to spend the money.

If money is in your hands, it will always be dead money, and it will depreciate. Only investment can make money, but how to invest is a matter of knowledge.

The only industries worth investing in in the Daqing Dynasty were land, real estate and fields.

Dongcheng County is only a small county, and the real estate investment value is not large. Bai Molin has never considered buying a house in a small place.

If you don't buy a house, you can only buy land.

But Tian is not easy to buy, although Bai Zhiqing now has the status of a scholar, and he can be regarded as a famous person in Dongcheng County.But he was not the kind of person who would force good people to sell their fields for his own personal gain.

If you want to buy land, you can only take luck.

I have to say that Bai Zhiqing's family is really lucky.

The day before, I entrusted the Yaxing Bank to pay attention to the information on the sale of the property, and the next day I received news that there was a forest worker in the county who was in urgent need of money and had [-] mu of fertile land to sell.

It's just that the price of land outside the forest members is not cheap. One mu of land is sold for five taels of silver. Not only does it not accept counter-offers, but it also requires a one-time payment, which ordinary people can't afford.

Before, Bai Yaolang's land was sold for [-] mu. First, the price was suppressed by the shopkeeper of the casino because of the urgent sale. Second, his family's land had not been cultivated well for a long time, and the fertile land had become bad land. At most, it could only be sold. Thirty-two acres.

In general, the price of good farmland ranges from four to five taels.

The [-] acres of land outside the forest members are not all good fields, and the fertilization is uneven. Generally speaking, the poor fields account for nearly half, but the fields are rare, and there is also a small yard attached, which can be regarded as a large-scale small manor. The price is acceptable.

As soon as he got the news, Bai Zhiqing knew that this matter had to be resolved quickly. Now that Lin Yuanwai just released the news, not many people knew about it. If it was a few days late, it would have been bought by others.

But Bai Zhiqing didn't rush to make a move, but personally came forward to find out the authenticity of the news, and went to the Zhuangzi to check the situation. After confirming that there was nothing tricky, he immediately contacted the dental bank to make a match. He didn't counter the price at all, and spent 450 taels of silver without hesitation. bought the land.

The small farm he bought is more than 30 miles away from Baijia Village, not in the same direction as the county seat.

On the first rest day after the settlement of the land deed, Bai Zhiqing took his family to the newly bought small farm.

"We're going to Zhuangzi~", Yaya Yaya, who was sitting on the ox cart, nestled in A-Niang's arms, looking at the changing scenery around her, she was very excited.

In the past six months, she has gained a lot of knowledge with her father and mother. Not only did she go to the county town several times, but this time she was going to her newly bought Zhuangzi!

Her family has a Zhuangzi!

Although Yaya still doesn't know exactly what Zhuangzi looks like, it sounds amazing!

Now she is also a child of a wealthy family. She eats well. She can eat whatever she wants. The children in the village envy her.

The autumn wind was blowing slowly, and the ox cart staggered forward, and after about half an hour, it arrived at the farm that the Bai family had just bought.

The [-] acres of continuous fields are not small, and you can't see the edge at a glance. The fields by the roadside have just been harvested, and the fields are still piled with golden crop poles.

After driving the bullock cart for a short distance, we arrived at the small yard of the farm.

Zhuangtou originally lived in the yard, but this Zhuangtou was a servant of Lin Yuanwai's family. After the farm was sold, Zhuangtou also followed.

At this time, there were a lot of tenant farmers standing outside the small courtyard. They were all people in the nearby village who had no land at home for various reasons.

Now that the land has changed hands, these tenant farmers have no idea. The day before yesterday, people from the new owner's family came and said that they would come today. They wanted to come to see the owner's family and ask them if they could continue to farm on their land.

A group of people saw an ox cart coming in from a distance. There were many people in the car. The front of the car was a spirited young man, and there were four people behind the car, a young couple with outstanding temperament and a pair of beautiful children. .

The tenant farmer wasn't quite sure if the family was the new owner.

They had never seen a landlord in an ox-cart, and the horse-drawn carriage outside the former owner's home, the forest staff, was luxurious.

But if it is not, the people in the car look extraordinary, and at first glance they are different from these muddy legs.

A group of people hesitated to come forward until the bullock cart approached.

Seeing a group of simple men and women standing outside the courtyard, Bai Zhiqing raised his signature smile.

"Are you the tenant farmers in the original Zhuangzi?"

These tenant farmers are honest farmers, and they are not good at words. Seeing Bai Zhiqing asking this question, they nodded with a sincere smile, and turned to look at one of the tenant farmers.

Bai Zhiqing followed the tenant farmer's gaze and saw a simple middle-aged man with a strong body and clear eyes.

It seems that this man is quite prestigious among the tenant farmers, and is supposed to be the invisible leader of this group of tenant farmers.

Seeing Bai Zhiqing looking at him, the man was neither humble nor arrogant, and replied with a naive smile: "We are tenant farmers. I wonder if you are the new owner of Zhuangzi?"

Bai Zhiqing smiled and nodded, "Exactly, I am Bai Xiucai from Baijia Village, and I bought this village."

Bai Xiucai from Baijia Village?
The name seemed familiar, but the tenant farmers didn't remember where they had heard it for a while, but they didn't expect that the new owner would be a scholar.

Although the tenant farmers did not know the selling price of Zhuangzi, they also knew that it would not be cheap. They did not expect that even the scholars were so rich these days.

Seeing Bai Zhiqing's gentle words, the tenant farmer said boldly, "Bai Xiucai is good. My name is Miao Dazhuang. We are all tenant farmers. I wonder if Bai Xiucai will rent the land with us after he buys it?"

Bai Zhiqing looked at the group of tenant farmers in front of him, and his main purpose in coming to Zhuangzili today was to deal with this matter.

This piece of land naturally requires people to plant, but it is no longer a lease relationship between tenants and landlords in the past, but an employment relationship.

Bai Zhiqing said with a smile, "It's true that people will be invited to plant this field, but the method of planting is very different from what you agreed with Lin Yuanwai before."

Hearing this, the tenant farmers panicked. They didn't understand what Bai Zhiqing meant. They only thought that the new owner was more greedy than Lin Yuanwai, saying that they had to meet the previous share ratio.

The foreigner Lin received a very high share. The contract he signed before was three or seven points. They were three and the foreigner was seven.

Thirty percent of the harvest is only enough to wrap the belly. If Bai Xiucai wants to ask for half more, they will have to look elsewhere to find crops.

Miao Dazhuang dared to ask: "Bai Xiucai, what do you mean by this? Why is it different?"

Bai Zhiqing looked at Miao Dazhuang and smiled gently: "I bought this land to grow cotton. So the land is no longer leased to others to plant."

Land not leased?

Previously, they were afraid that Bai Zhiqing would be too greedy, and the tenant farmers panicked.

Now that Bai Zhiqing said that the fields are not rented, the tenant farmers panic again.

It's not easy to find land elsewhere.
