Chapter 53 Landlords

"This is the village!"

Although the map is not as detailed as what she collected from An Guohou's house, it still has some place names marked on it.

The location of Daxia Bay cannot be seen on this map, and perhaps the local county government has never investigated it.

This is very beneficial to Ziyu.

County Magistrate Zhang frowned at the word Kan'er Village. He didn't even remember such a village.

"Jia Shuli, go check the situation in Kan'er Village."

...

After a bowl of tea, Jia Shuli came out covered in dust with a roster.

The corner of Ziyu's mouth twitched, and a white cotton worm fell from the roster, and Jia Shuli seemed to be used to it.

[I don't know how many years, I haven't dug it out and posted it! 】

County magistrate Zhang flipped through the roster indifferently, and on a few thin sheets of paper recorded everything about Kan'er Village.

"Purple Castle Lord, Kan'er Village currently has only [-] mu of fertile land, all of which are unowned, and the rest is mountainous land.

There are high mountains and long roads, and the terrain is remote. There are only three families in the village, which cannot be called a village at all, and there is not even a village head.

Kaner Village is backed by mountains, and the terrain is remote. No one wants to settle there.

Have you considered other villages? There are several villages near the county seat. "

County magistrate Zhang lobbied for a while, for fear that Ziyu would dislike the poverty here.

"I want the land in Kan'er Village, how can I sell it?" Ziyu insisted, and stopped listening to the lobbying of County Magistrate Zhang.

County magistrate Zhang's intentions were obvious. From the moment she came in, her impatient look revealed his intentions.

"Five taels of silver per mu for fertile land, and one tael of silver per mu for mountainous land."

"How do you sell the mountains behind?"

"Mountain?!"

County Magistrate Zhang and Jia Shuli were surprised, then overjoyed, they looked at each other.

"Castle Master, half a tael of silver for an acre, what do you think?"

Overjoyed, County Magistrate Zhang stretched out his somewhat dark hand and waved his five fingers in front of Ziyu.

"Two hundred cash, there are too many wild animals in the mountains and it is not safe, and the cost of getting some wood is too high."

"Deal deal!"

County magistrate Zhang quickly took over the conversation, and Ziyu felt that she had been deceived.

"Do you want to measure it on the spot?"

Ziyu glanced at the shabby county government office, there wasn't even a single yamen servant, so it's possible that the county magistrate and clerks went there in person.

"The land and mountains of each village are recorded. As for the mountains mentioned by the castle owner, we can only estimate them.

After all, it's not safe there! "

County magistrate Zhang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Since the records of Xin'an County, no county magistrate has sold millions of mountains.

This can be regarded as his only outstanding performance, so he can leave this poor Gada with it!
This year happens to be another three-year performance appraisal year, and everything must be done to make it happen.

County magistrate Zhang, who was making a lot of calculations, didn't give Ziyu a chance to speak, and got together with Jia Shuli to write calculations.

In the end, Ziyu reported the approximate number.

"Purple Castle Master, Kan'er Village has [-] acres of fertile land, [-] acres of mountainous land, and some uncultivable land as a gift to the Castle Lord.

The mountains behind Kaner Village, according to the five mountains you mentioned, are more than [-] mu.

The castle owner has the final say on that hilltop, and it doesn't matter how big the circle is.

For those who break in without permission, once there is a threat, they can be dealt with at will.

A total of 450 taels of silver! "

Ziyu was delighted to hear that, she thought it would cost tens of thousands of taels to buy the mountain, but it was settled with only 1 taels.

It's really as cheap as picking it up!
In the future, she will be the King of the Mountain there, and she is still certified.

Ziyu happily took out a stack of gold tickets from her sleeve pocket, counted out 40 taels, and took out a silver ingot of 50 taels to make up for it.

Then he took out a 200 tael bank note and pushed it in front of County Magistrate Zhang.

The county magistrate Zhang who collected the money checked the authenticity of each one, and the red deeds were naturally completed as quickly as possible.

...

Ziyu took out two 50 taels of silver ingots and pushed them in front of County Magistrate Zhang.

A county magistrate and a clerk smiled and squinted at Ziyu's blatant bribery.

The money was quickly pocketed by County Magistrate Zhang, who purposely took a second look at Ziyu's big sleeve pocket.

"If the castle owner needs help from the county magistrate, just say it."

With the benefits he saw and his political achievements, County Magistrate Zhang's attitude towards Ziyu became more gentle.

Wang Xingwang and Shengxing father and son who watched from the side were stunned. They had never seen such a sympathetic county magistrate.

Sure enough, money is easy to do!
"Magistrate Zhang, this castle mainly invites a group of people to work, because those who are not familiar with this place, the county magistrate will take care of it."

Ziyu secretly told later generations that TV and novels were misleading, saying that in three years the county magistrate received 10 taels of white flower silver.

It is really unprecedented that a county magistrate can work for her for 100 taels.

What a magistrate!

"It's a good thing, let Jia Shuli get someone to ring the gong now.

I don't know where the owner of the castle is staying. If there is any news, I can inform the owner of the castle one or two. "

Ziyu walked all the way, but she really didn't see any inn, so she took a look at Shengxing.

"Master County Magistrate, my castle master went straight to the county government office as soon as he arrived in Guixian County."

"Understood, understand, please ask the castle master to stay in the backyard of the county government. It is safe and clean here." County Magistrate Zhang enthusiastically left him behind.

After some conversation, a job recruitment notice written by the county magistrate himself was posted at the gate of the county government office.

From nowhere, Jia Shuli found a yamen servant who was older than him.

The two walked along the main street, one beating a broken gong and the other shouting loudly.

"Clang~clang~clang!"

"Hiring! Hiring!

The county magistrate came out to recruit workers, including room, board and cash.

Stonemasons, carpenters, craftsmen who can build houses, young adults who are good at farming..."

The quiet street suddenly came alive, men, women and children, even baby dolls of several months were brought out to watch the excitement.

Everyone whispered to each other, and there was that clever one who ran out of the city...

"Jia Shuli, quickly tell everyone, is the county magistrate really recruiting workers?
Really give money? "

An old man who was about the same age as Jia Shuli followed him to inquire.

"Old man Hu, what the county magistrate said can still be false.

A noble son from our Xin'an County is waiting to recruit workers in the county government!
If you don't hurry up and find your four sons, why are you still talking nonsense here.

Building houses is your Hu family's strong point, don't weaken the reputation of our Xin'an County, don't blame me for not notifying you! "

"Thank you, the scribe Jia, let's have a drink at home during the Chinese New Year!"

The hunched man turned around and began to trot, and some people who heard the conversation between the two also started to move.

All of a sudden, most of the onlookers on the street were children and old people.

...

In front of the county yamen, a large group of people gathered in darkness, all eyes were enviously on Sheng Xing, who was dressed in new cotton clothes.

"Men and young men of Xin'an County, my master needs a lot of manpower for construction.

Those with crafts stand on the right, those who know farming stand on the left, and others please stand back. "Sheng Xing held up both hands, directing the people below to stand in line.

"Buzzing..." The crowd suddenly turned into a pot of porridge like boiling water.

"Dang~dang~dang! Give me a little dexterity, those who don't know anything will retreat to the end, what are you doing standing in the middle of the road?"

Jia Shuli beat the gong and roared, and the people below immediately calmed down.
