Traveling through: I rely on space to raise the sick Wei Wang

Chapter 66

Wang Houxiang looked at the barren and dry land and said: "This land, there is not much surplus in our village, and it looks like more than 200 mu. When these villagers came, they expressed that they were willing to sell it, but they don't know how much the girl will offer? "

Xu Ruqing didn't express the estimate in her heart, mainly because she didn't know much about the market, so she asked, "How much do you want?"

Wang Houxiang made some calculations in his heart, and then stretched out three fingers: "How about three taels of silver per mu of land?"

Three taels of silver did not have a particularly clear concept for Xu Ruqing, a person in the last days, but looking at Wang Houxiang's treacherous and cunning face, she knew that the old man must be calculating herself, and the price was somewhat unreasonable.

Sure enough, the villagers were too surprised to speak when they heard Wang Houxiang's words, but considering that the beneficiary was themselves, they were secretly depressed and did not dare to speak out.

They knew very well what their land looked like, and it would be considered good if they could sell it for five hundred dollars, and they paid back three taels of silver per mu!Usually one tael of silver is enough to feed a poor family for half a year, let alone three taels of silver.Wang Houxiang opened his mouth loudly, it is not obvious that he is bullying other people's little girls!
Xu Laoqi looked distressed, he needed money, but a gentleman loves money in a proper way, and the teachings of his parents since he was a child let him know that one should not be ignorant of one's conscience, but considering the other party's evidence, he couldn't let him down, so I had no choice but to say euphemistically: "Li Zheng, Miss Xu has shown full sincerity, shouldn't we also be a little more generous in the price?"

After hearing Xu Laoqi's words, Wang Houxiang thought to himself that Xu Laoqi was an overly honest fool.If you have money but don't make money, what is it if you are not a fool?
Now it's hard for someone who has taken advantage of him to buy the land in their village. When every household pays the land tax to him, he will definitely earn a lot. He has made up his mind to cheat Xu Ruqing.

"Miss Xu didn't say anything, what did you Xu Laoqi talk nonsense? Don't blame me for not reminding you, if this land is sold, you will live on the money from the land sale. I want three taels of silver for everyone. Thinking about it, three liang of silver is not too much, may I ask where can she buy such affordable land?" Wang Houxiang believed that Xu Ruqing didn't understand the market, and he said this to scare her so that she would agree to buy the land.

Hearing this, the villagers whispered, Wang Houxiang's words were not unreasonable, although the price was indeed daunting, but who would think it was too much money, of course they could ask for more.

Just when Xu Ruqing was undecided, Wang Jiawei helped his wife Sun Guifang out of the carriage.

Just now what they were talking about was heard by Wang Jiawei, and his voice came from behind Lizheng: "Three liang of silver, Lizheng is too arrogant!"

"You, who are you? What are you messing with?" Wang Houxiang didn't know Wang Jiawei in his impression, but looking at the deep and shallow lines on his face and the weather-beaten eyes, he knew that he must be a sensible person .

Wang Jiawei looked upright: "Wang Jiawei, Miss Xu is my benefactor. My benefactor proposed to buy your land because of your difficult life. I didn't expect you to be ungrateful and want to steal her money. Naturally, Mr. Wang can't sit idly by, and must come forward to protect the interests of his benefactor."

Wang Jiawei was tall and burly, and he knew the market, so Wang Houxiang naturally didn't dare to offend easily: "Then tell me, how much is the right amount to pay?"

Wang Jiawei looked at the surrounding land, and with just one glance he knew that the land was worthless: "Your family was also farming before. According to my many years of experience, most of your land is barren and thin, and it is worth five hundred yuan at most. One acre."

Unexpectedly, Wang Houxiang was not satisfied, and his eyes widened: "Five hundred yuan per mu? You go and grab it!"

Wang Houxiang still thought that he had lost money, but he didn't know that the price of five hundred yuan was already high for Wang Jiawei.

Wang Jiawei saw that Wang Houxiang was so immoral, so he said to Xu Ruqing: "Benefactor, what I just said is the truth, this land is really not worth three liang of silver, the benefactor should think carefully."

Sun Guifang also echoed: "Yes, if the benefactor wants to buy land, we know that there is a suburban land in the north of the city that can be bought. The same price is [-] yuan, and the geology there is several times better than here."

When Xu Ruqing heard what Wang and Sun couple said, her thoughts were also shaken.It's just that the north of the city is far away from the capital, so it's not very convenient to manage by yourself.

After thinking about it, Xu Ruqing ignored Wang Houxiang, looked at Xu Laoqi and Zhou Qiangzi, and asked, "What do you two think?"

Xu Laoqi and Zhou Qiangzi are excellent people, and they also agreed: "Brother Wang is right, the land over there is indeed better than ours."

Xu Ruqing asked again: "So, if the two uncles are asked to set a price, how much are you willing to set?"

"If it were us, it would be four hundred yuan. The main thing is that the land is worth the price, and we don't want to ask for more without conscience."

Xu Ruqing nodded, it seemed that he had not misjudged the person. Spending the wrong money was a trivial matter, but misjudging the person was a major matter.Under such difficult conditions, the two uncles can still maintain their original kindness, which is rare.

Xu Ruqing smiled and said to Wang Jiawei: "What do you think, Brother Wang?"

The Wang and Sun couples looked at each other, and they were talking about this point. They knew that Xu Ruqing had made up his mind to buy the land here.Although they didn't understand why Xu Ruqing still suffered when she knew it was a loss, they thought she must have her own ideas in doing so.

Wong Kar Wai replied: "Four hundred dollars is about the same."

After being affirmed, Xu Ruqing also thought about it in his heart, and said to Xu Laoqi, Zhou Qiangzi, and the villagers standing behind him: "So, for the sake of the sincerity of Uncle Xu and Uncle Qiangzi, I choose to believe Everyone once. Four hundred yuan per mu of land, this is the land price. On top of that, I am willing to pay six hundred yuan for labor costs, and hire everyone to help me look after the land."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words. They thought this matter was over, but they didn't expect Xu Ruqing to be willing to buy their land.

Xu Ruqing went on to say: "I am in the capital and have no time to do the work in the field, so I have to rely on the help of fellow villagers to take care of it. If you are willing, we can sign and pledge now, and sign two papers in total. I will pay for the land deed money tomorrow morning." How about sending someone to deliver it to you, and the labor fee will be settled once a month, [-] yuan a month, and it will be settled after three months?"

Xu Ruqing was thinking just now, instead of spending money to find other people to help him plant the land, it is better to use local materials and let the villagers help him plant them. After all, no one knows better than them how to plant their own land.

The villagers looked left and right, their eyes gleaming with eagerness to try.
