Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 32 Buying Land
Wang Xuhuai frowned when Jing Yi asked about the wasteland again, and said, "Which piece of land do you want? That piece of wasteland covers more than 1000 mu. Hui'an County once sold that piece of land plus the hat on it for 1000 taels of silver." Ershan. In fact, he sold the land with Maoershan. This land is no different from the free land, only 200 taels of silver. Even so, no one bought it. Because there is no grain growing there.”

Jing Yi was a little shocked when he heard the price, it was equivalent to two taels of silver and ten mu of land, which was too cheap.However, in the eyes of others, it is very expensive just like this, because the land has no use value at all, even if it is cultivated, it is also a money.

Jing Yi has no shortage of money now, so she immediately decided to buy that piece of saline-alkali land, "Uncle Wang, I want to buy that piece of wasteland, as well as the [-] mu of fertile land in Mr. Liu's house, please help me go around." formalities."

Although Wang Xuhuai was curious about why this Mr. Chu bought such a large piece of wasteland, he did not stop him. Maybe Mr. Chu has other uses.He also secretly sighed in his heart for the generosity of Mr. Chu.

Wang Xuhuai said: "Okay. Then tomorrow we will go to the county government to go through the formalities, and then buy the land of Mr. Liu's house."

Jing Yi directly took out 50 taels of silver, "Uncle Wang, you can take this money for your relationship, please be more considerate."

Wang Xuhuai didn't politely refuse either, maybe it would be cheaper to walk around the wasteland.

In the afternoon, Xiao Yilin's people approached Lin Xiuhan, the county magistrate of Hui'an County, and told them about the wasteland in Yunxi Village.

Although Lin Xiuhan was born in a family, he was quite talented and could be regarded as young and promising, but because he was a concubine, he was excluded from the family.His mother had passed away, and the Lin family had no one he cared about, so he took the initiative to invite Ying to be the magistrate of Hui'an County in Huizhou Prefecture.It can be regarded as far away from the imperial capital, far away from disputes.

Lin Xiuhan is fair and honest, and he just came to Hui'an County not long ago.He also wanted to use his talents to govern Hui'an County well.

Today he actually received an order from Prince Jing sent by Prince Jing's subordinates, asking him to sell a piece of wasteland in Yunxi Village, Hui'an County, to a young master of Chu at a low price of ten taels of silver, not to mention exempt from tax for ten years. .

That piece of wasteland was worthless in the first place, no one would buy it, and it didn't matter if it was sold at a low price.What he cared about was that Prince Jing actually sent someone to give instructions on this matter, which showed that Prince Jing attached great importance to this young master of Chu.

This also made him curious about Mr. Chu from Yunxi Village.

This Hui'an County belongs to King Jing's fiefdom, so he naturally obeys King Jing's orders.

The next day, Jing Yi and Wang Xuhuai went to Mr. Liu's house. After the talk, they went to the county government office with Mr. Liu to go through the formalities, and asked about the wasteland by the way.

After they completed the formalities for the land on Mr. Liu's side, they asked the master of the county government office about the wasteland in Yunxi Village. The price of the wasteland in Yunxi Village turned out to be very low. It can be sold to Jing Yi for ten taels of silver, not to mention exempt from tax for ten years.

In other people's master's words, that piece of land is a wasteland, and it won't grow if it is planted, and no one wants it if it is given to others.

Jing Yi didn't know that it was Xiao Yilin who sent someone to inform the county magistrate to let her sell the land at a low price and exempt from tax for ten years.

When Lin Xiuhan heard from the yamen servant that someone from Yunxi Village wanted to buy the wasteland near Yunxi Village, he came out to receive him in person. He just wanted to see who this Mr. Chu was and why he wanted to buy the wasteland that no one wanted.

As soon as Lin Xiuhan came out, he saw a handsome young man with extraordinary temperament standing beside his master, which made his eyes shine.

The young man was wearing a light blue robe embroidered with bamboo patterns, and a white jade hairpin tied his black hair.The eyes are bright and energetic.Perhaps it was because the young man was young and his skin was as fair as jade, even better than the little girl.

I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful person in this remote Hui'an County.Moreover, this young man only looks like a teenager, and I don't know what kind of family can raise such a child.

Judging by his appearance and temperament, he is not from an ordinary family.Lin Xiuhan was very curious which family's young master this was.

I don't know what kind of relationship this Young Master Chu has with King Jing, but King Jing personally sent someone to help the young man.

When the master saw that his county magistrate had come out, he quickly bowed and saluted, "Master, these two are Village Chief Wang and Mr. Chu from Yunxi Village."

When Wang Xuhuai and Jing Yi heard that it was the county magistrate, they hurriedly saluted.

Lin Xiuhan waved his hands and said, "Excuse me, Master, I heard that they want to buy the wasteland in Yunxi Village?"

Lin Xiuhan had already explained it to his master before, so he said this now because he wanted to draw out the wasteland.Find out.

The master replied: "Yes, this Mr. Chu wants to buy the wasteland near Yunxi Village. I have already told him that the wasteland only costs ten taels of silver, and it can be exempted from tax for ten years."

Lin Xiuhan nodded and turned to Jing Yi and said: "Young Master Chu, I have heard people talk about the wasteland in Yunxi Village. It is said that nothing grows, and the crops can't even reap the seeds. Otherwise, A large piece of land is not far from the county seat, and it won’t be left unoccupied. Is there any way for Mr. Chu to manage that piece of land?”

Jing Yi saw that the county magistrate was very young, only in his twenties, with a handsome appearance and a refined temperament.This person should be a good official with clear eyes.

She cupped her hands and said, "It's a pity to see such a large piece of wasteland left so barren, so I want to try to manage it."

Lin Xiuhan saw that Mr. Chu was unwilling to say more and did not force him, "That piece of wasteland is still deserted. It would be great if Mr. Chu can manage it. Master should have told you, the asking price for that piece of wasteland is only ten taels Silver, and ten years of tax exemption, I hope Mr. Chu can turn the wasteland into fertile land."

Lin Xiuhan decided to pay more attention to Yunxi Village.If this Mr. Chu can really manage the wasteland so that crops can grow, then he will shamelessly ask for advice.

The master quickly applied for the land deed for Jing Yi, so that Jing Yi has 1000 mu of fertile land and more than [-] mu of wasteland under his name.This wasteland only cost ten taels of silver, and it was like giving it away for nothing, and it was exempted from taxes for ten years, which was a surprise.

Jing Yi knew that it was impossible for her to stay in Yunxi Village for ten years, but it would be good to be exempted from tax, so that she could earn more.This wasteland will be her starting chip.

No matter when things are rare, she plans to grow some rare things in the future to make money quickly.Then go to the city to open a shop.Use the shop as a cover to establish your own intelligence agency.

Her eyes are almost black now, and she doesn't know anything about the current situation of Yi Country, and it's the same with Jin Country, so she will be very passive.She wants to take the initiative in her own hands.

Especially Yiguo, she had to grasp its internal situation to come up with a way to deal with it in order to seek revenge in the future.

Coming out of the county government office, Jing Yi drove back with the village chief in a carriage. She had to give Xiao Yilin acupuncture today.
