Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 34 Buying Land and Land ([-])

Summer night wind, a good night's sleep.

In the morning, Liu Qingcao woke up with the morning light, got dressed, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and went to the corner of the yard to wash up.

"I don't know if old man Niu is here for breakfast." Liu Qingcao looked outside, wondering if he should make more breakfast.

This entanglement didn't take long before Liu Qingcao saw two blurred figures appear at the end of her vision.

Don't think about it, it's Old Niu and the others who are here.

Seeing that the two of them had more than ten minutes to arrive, Liu Qingcao went to the firewood room and brought out frozen dumplings and nine fish balls.

She thought it was troublesome to make these dumplings for breakfast, so she made some and put them in the firewood shed to freeze, and didn't pack much, mainly because she didn't buy much saltpeter, and if she packed too much, she was afraid that the temperature would not be enough, and the dumplings couldn't be stored.

For this breakfast, she took out all of them. There were two edible ones, which were not enough, so she took some fish balls to make up the number.

The water boiled, and Liu Qingcao put the fish balls and dumplings into the pot. After leaving the pot for a while, the two arrived at the gate of the courtyard. When Liu Qingcao saw their shadows, she opened the gate of the courtyard early.

Luo Shiyuan entered the yard, and looked directly towards the kitchen. He saw a little girl Liu Qingcao busy in the kitchen. There were three large bowls placed by the earthy-gray stove, and she kept pouring them into the bowls. Put the seasoning.

Luo Shiyuan looked at Brother Cheng, then at the breakfast in the pot, and couldn't help but hear what Brother Cheng said.

"Go back after staying for a while, I don't have much money for you to eat, drink and have fun here."

Luo Shiyuan: ...

He just opened the mansion by himself, and the money is tightly controlled by his mother and concubine. It can be said that he is the poorest son of an official family in the entire capital!
Now his monthly money is only 50 taels. This time, he has spent all the money he saved for several months. He is not sure if Brother Cheng has any money, but if Brother Cheng doesn't care about himself, what will he do? ?
Could it be that he went back to ask his concubine for money? No, Luo Shiyuan refused. Others don't know what his concubine is like, but he still doesn't know!
Looking at the unique food in the palace, one hundred Luo Shiyuan and one thousand were unwilling to leave, he was thinking, how about going to a pawn shop to pawn some clothes?

Luo Shiyuan sat on the long chair thinking of a solution, the old man Niu turned his head, looked at his wandering eyes, and closed them silently.

Liu Qingcao put the dumplings in a bowl, the two men naturally had more portions than her, but she also had a lot, twelve dumplings plus three fish balls.

Liu Qingcao was afraid that a large bowl would not be enough for them, so she boiled two eggs for them.

How to put it, it was also given to the winner of ten taels of silver, so he couldn't be treated badly.

After the meal, the old man Niu took Luo Shiyuan out, and Liu Qingcao was going to the town, so naturally he wouldn't go with them.

On the way, Luo Shiyuan looked tangled, either kicking the grass on the side of the road, or secretly looking up at the people walking in front.

The old man Niu felt the movement behind him, curled his lips, ignored him, and continued to walk in front.

Luo Shiyuan looked at the people in front of him indifferently, and finally followed them dejectedly.

In the town, Liu Qingcao went to the tooth shop after delivering the goods.

The dental office is not big, just like a modern intermediary company, a small shop with a few staff members.

In ancient times, those who worked in a dental firm deserved to be called a dental man. The management of each dental firm was different. Some were leasing or buying and selling houses and shops, some were selling people, or acting as agents for buying and selling land...

Liu Qingcao found a dental firm that handles the sale and purchase of land, entered the dental firm, and saw that there was only a shrewd man of fifteen or sixteen years old, with black and yellow skin, and a thin body.

"Girl, do you plan to buy land or sell land? Let me show you, Zhou Xiaowu." Zhou Xiaowu stepped forward and asked the customer's purpose, with an extremely respectful attitude.

Liu Qingcao looked at him and said:

"I'm going to buy some unowned wasteland. I don't know how to go about the process. Brother Wu, take me to have a look."

"Unowned wasteland, you have to go to the government office to deal with it, little girl, it's troublesome to open up those lands, and you don't know if you can grow food. If you buy it, you have to pay taxes, you..."

Seeing that she was too young, Zhou Xiaowu persuaded her, fearing that she might not know the pros and cons.

After listening to Liu Qingcao, she smiled relievedly: "Little Fifth Brother, it's okay, I'll take a look at the piece of wasteland I want to buy first, what the official said, if it's too expensive, I'll consider buying someone else's. "

"That's fine."

Seeing that she had an idea, Zhou Xiaowu stopped talking and took her directly to the government office.

Liu Qingcao looked at the government office in front of her, and took a good look around. The office here was different from what she had imagined. It wasn't as grandiosely decorated as in TV dramas, nor was it awe-inspiring as she had imagined.

The yamen here gave her an illusion, what an illusion, it was an illusion of simplicity, seriousness and righteousness.

Liu Qingcao felt that the yamen was indeed a bit dilapidated, which made her have such an idea!

Zhou Xiaowu communicated with the yamen servant very familiarly for a while, and after explaining his purpose, the yamen servant led them to find the master.

The master of the yamen stays in the yamen at all times except for holidays, and Lizheng, the town official who manages the yamen, is only there when dealing with things.

The Lizheng in Qianfeng Town is called Wan Huaimin, he is twenty-two in his forties, clean and honest, and his body is still strong.

"Xiao Wu, are you here to sign the contract?" Xia Gengcai raised his eyes with a smile, looked gently at the two people who entered the door, and asked.

"Master Xia, I brought this little girl to see the wasteland." Zhou Xiaowu said hastily.

"Oh, the little girl wants to see the wasteland? Tell me about the wasteland in which place, and I'll look it up for you." Xia Gengcai looked at Liu Qingcao beside Zhou Xiaowu, slightly surprised.

"Master Xia, I want to see the wasteland in Shihe Village, the area next to the end of Shihe."

Liu Qingcao planned to buy Tianzhi land a long time ago, but she didn't dare to make a move because she didn't have a few taels of silver in her hand.

No, after the dividends, she has a lot of money in her hand, and the amount of money is still increasing. Now she has the confidence to buy a field.

Xia Gengcai took out the map, flipped through it, and found the drawing of Shihe Village, smoothed it out, and pressed it down with a ruler.

"There is a lot of wasteland in Shihe Village. The end of the Shihe River you want, my little girl, is uninhabited. There is no reclaimed land there, and I don't know if it can produce food. My little girl, why don't you go and see it? "

Xia Gengcai looked at the picture and frowned. This village is really bad, and the village is full of outsiders.

A few years ago, Lizheng considered that they would not be able to increase the food population in a short period of time after they took root here, so everyone in the village had their taxes halved. However, after more than ten years, the village chief of Shihe Village only paid half Tax, it is said that there are not many people in their village who can pay it...

He and Lizheng also went to see it, and it was indeed worse than other villages, but there were requirements from above, and their yamen didn't make much money. They helped Shihe Village with subsidies for two years. This is always the subsidy. Since last year, Lizheng has made Shihe Village pay taxes like other villages.

Last year, all the villagers in Shihe Village paid their taxes in full, except for lonely children like Liu Qingcao, who had no one to rely on.

However, Shihe Village, which has paid taxes, heard that this year will be even more difficult. Both he and Lizheng are afraid that they will have to sell their fields and land this year to be able to pay.

During this period of time, Lizheng also worried about this refugee village. He couldn't eat well or sleep well all day long. Seeing him like that, his wife was also very worried.

"Master Xia, I live in Shihe Village. I know what you said, but I don't know how big this wasteland is and how it is sold."

"Oh, you are from Shihe Village, why didn't your village head come with you?"

"Um, Village Chief Shi has something to do, so I can't leave, so I came to the town to ask Brother Wu for help." Liu Qingcao rubbed her nose and smiled sarcastically.

Just kidding, waiting for Shi Dahe to come with him in fear, I don't know when the ink stains will go.

Save that little money and spend it with Shi Dahe, she doesn't have that much time...

Xia Gengcai looked at Liu Qingcao's embarrassed look, and immediately understood, shook his head, sighed and said:
"Come here, I'll show you."
