Chapter 14 Buying Zhuangzi 1
After getting the desired result and thanking the other party, Yang Quan drove the car again, quickly entered an alley, and stopped at a door with a wide open door.

As soon as the carriage stopped, a young man came out from the gate and stretched out his hand to help lead the horse rope.

Yang Quan got out of the carriage, turned around and helped Liang Guoguo get down.

The young man smiled at the two of them and said, "Please come in, the younger one will tie your horses there for you." He pointed to the wooden stake beside the gate.

The two of them had just stepped into the courtyard when a middle-aged man walked towards them and asked with a smile: "Hi, my surname is Li, and everyone is called Li Yaren. Are you a buyer or a house?"

"Hi Li Ya, do you have a farm here?" Yang Quan asked in a flat tone.

"I have several farms in my hand, what are your requirements?" Li Yaren replied without thinking.

"First, tell me which farms you have, their location, and their size?"

Although Yang Quan left slavery very early, but before his wife died, he was the head of Zhuangzi's wife's dowry, and his ability to handle affairs was not bad.

"There is a farm in Yueling Village, which is the closest to the town. There are [-] mu of fields, all of which are top-grade fields. The farm in Zhangjia Village is also [-] acres, with [-] acres of top-grade fields and [-] acres of medium-grade fields. The village near Yangjiacun has a farm of [-] mu, but that farm also has a mountain, and the previous seller said that if you want to buy that farm, you have to buy that mountain as well."

Afterwards, Li Yaren mentioned the locations of the three farms.

"My lord, which one do you think we should choose?" This is the lady who is choosing Zhuangzi, so of course he wants to consult the lady for her opinion.

The main reason is that he doesn't know how much silver the lady has and what kind of Zhuang Zi she can afford.

"Li Yaren, what is the asking price of that villager in Yangjia Village?" Liang Guoguo asked.

It happened to be next to Yang Quan's hometown. If Zhuangzi needs to hire workers in the future, he can hire villagers from Yangjia Village. It's easy to talk to acquaintances.

Li Yaren would not underestimate the other party just because the other party was just a child, and what the man meant was that the young master in front of him wanted to buy Zhuangzi.

He said respectfully: "The top-grade fields here cost 12 taels per mu. The seller planted a lot of fruit trees in that mountain, and at the foot of the mountain, the seller also built a large yard with three entrances. Together, the total asking price is 800 taels."

The corner of Liang Guoguo's mouth twitched, and he asked, "How big is that mountain, and Zhuangzi's asking price is quite expensive."

She silently calculated that the three-entry yard would be worth 500 taels at most in the village, plus 400 taels for high-quality fertile land, and the total would be less than 3000 taels, so the mountain would cost almost 2000 taels of silver?
Isn't barren hills cheap?

I remember that in that book, the wasteland bought by the koi hostess’s family only cost one tael of silver per mu, and down a mountain, at most a few hundred taels of silver, which is very cheap.

Why is it so expensive when it comes to her? Is it because she is a cannon fodder?So doomed to be taken advantage of?

"That mountain has more than 300 acres, but isn't it full of fruit trees?" When Li Yaren said this, he was actually very guilty.

"How old is the fruit tree?" Liang Guoguo immediately asked.

It's okay if it's just fruited and hasn't been two years old, but if it's all old trees, it's not worth it.

Li Yaren: "Hehe. We have to ask the seller."

In fact, he knows the situation in Zhuangzi, but he can't talk about it at this time. If he talks about it, he doesn't need to talk about it later.

"Li Yaren, can we negotiate the price there?" Yang Quan stood up and asked.

"That's natural, but it's up to the seller to decide. I can't make the decision." He is an intermediary, only responsible for helping matchmaking and collecting intermediary fees.

"I don't know where the seller is? We want to see how that Zhuangzi is doing."

"The seller lives in the town. When are you going to visit Zhuangzi, I will send someone to invite the owner of Zhuangzi."

"Let's go now." The sooner it is done, the young lady can settle down sooner, and his family's affairs can be handled sooner.

"Please wait a quarter of an hour, young master, I will send my servants to invite the seller."

"Hey, wait a minute." Yang Quan hurriedly called out.

Li Yaren turned around in doubt.

"Let's go together, we drove the carriage over."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then." Li Yaren thanked with a smile.

Yang Quan followed the path pointed by Li Yaren, and soon arrived at the door of the seller. The seller was a middle-aged man named Wei Yong who was a bit fat.

After picking up the person, the carriage drove non-stop in the direction of Yangjiacun.

While chatting on the carriage, Liang Guoguo and Yang Quan also learned why Wei Yong wanted to sell Zhuangzi.

It turned out that his son was a county magistrate in a county near Fucheng, and the family wanted to move there to live together. The hometown was too far away from the county, and it would take three or four days to go back and forth between the two sides, and the road was too long.

So the family discussed and decided to sell all the land and real estate here, and repurchase the land with their son.

The [-]-acre farm in Yueling Village, which is the closest to the town, also belongs to his family.

Hearing this, Liang Guoguo thought, if the farm was not expensive, she would have bought that farm by the way.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a large courtyard.

Only an old man was left guarding the yard. As soon as they got out of the carriage, the gate was opened.

As soon as the old man saw Wei Yong, he grinned open his mouth with two missing teeth, and shouted with a smile: "Boss, you are here."

"Well, Zhang, I'll bring them over to see Zhuangzi."

Wei Yong first took a few people around the big courtyard and introduced the structure of the house, "The air here is nice and cool in summer. This house was originally built for my family, so it took a lot of effort when it was built. It has been less than three years since the house was built, and the house is still very new."

Liang Guoguo corrected, "It's probably new."

Wei Yong: "..."

"Look, all the connected fields belong to my family's farm. You can rent them out to tenant farmers in the future, or take them back and plant them yourself. It's up to you."

"Boss Wei, are these fields in your family rented out to tenant farmers, or are they hired by the surrounding villagers to plant them?"

"Of course, I hired local villagers to plant it, which is more cost-effective." The purpose of his purchase of the farm is to grow more grain, not just to recover the little rented grain.

"These rice in the field...?" Yang Quan asked, pointing to the rice in the field.

"Seeing that the harvest season is only more than a month away, the farm is actually sold to you, and everything in the farm is naturally yours, but the rice has been taken care of by the villagers for a long time, so it can't be given to you for nothing, right?"

Liang Guoguo and Yang Quan did not speak, waiting for the seller's follow-up words.
