Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

Chapter 330 Buying Mountain

This is Tantan Qinniu's tone.

"I prefer the pastoral life of practicing as a landowner."

Hearing Qin Niu's answer, Yan Ruhai's eyes narrowed slightly, "Since Master Qin longs for farming, all the fields of my Yan family in Shuangfeng Village are willing to be donated to Master Qin. It is close to home and it is convenient for you to farm."

This is a proactive gesture.

It’s also a concession.

Yan Ruhai has profound wisdom. He knows that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. The best way is to give up the fields in Shuangfeng Village, which not only does a favor, but also avoids conflicts of interest with Qin Niu.

Everyone farms together, and in midsummer, conflicts over water for irrigation are very likely to arise.

At that time, everyone needed water in their fields.

Qin Niu's prospective father-in-law owns more than ten acres of land in the village. Qin Niu will definitely purchase land in the future, and everyone will easily compete for water sources.

Also, there are field stems separating the fields.

It is easy for farmers to occupy each other's side when farming, and this can easily lead to conflicts.

The best thing to do is avoid contact.

Taking the initiative to give the fields in Shuangfeng Village to Qin Niu, this is a very heavy gift. In the future, if Qin Niu wants to expand, he will consider this generous gift and avoid the Yan family's territory.

In addition, the He family has been wiped out, and sooner or later the vacant land will be slowly occupied.

Open grabs generally don’t happen.

Acquisition at a low price is very possible.

"Thank you, Mr. Yan, for your kindness. I don't dare to accept this gift. It belongs to the local owner. The land is the lifeblood and the foundation. The Yan family's land in Shuangfeng Village is at least more than 100 acres, accounting for nearly 100 acres of the Yan family's total land. 10% of the body size. These wealth are accumulated bit by bit by generations of your Yan family.

When Qin's house was completed, he had already received generous gifts from the Yan family.

Moreover, when I was still weak, the Yan family did not bully me, but instead helped me a lot. This is a matter of love.

Shuangfeng Village can completely accommodate me and the Yan family.

If Mr. Yan is willing, I am willing to buy the back hill of Shuangfeng Village at the market price. "

Qin Niu said very sincerely.

"Some mountains are worthless at all. If Master Qin needs them, he can just give them to you. You can go to the city to transfer the title deed today."

Yan Ruhai felt a little at ease when he heard that Qin Niu had no intention of dominating Yuxi Town, and that he still had old feelings for the Yan family.

"There is no reward for no merit. If it is a gift, I won't take it. The Yan family is willing to part with it and transfer it to me at the market price. This is a huge favor."

"Okay then! Yiyi!"

Yan Ruhai did not argue with him anymore.

Those hills are not worth much money, so the Yan family usually saves them for cutting firewood and planting some fir trees, pine trees, camellia oleifera and other trees.

The two parties finally reached a deal at a price of 637 taels of silver.

The price of mountainous land is already cheap, and the total area is only three to four hundred acres.

The Yan family probably sold half of it and half gave it away.

Qin Niu is extremely rich now, and he is given cash in cash.

The six boxes of gold and silver jewelry stolen from the He family would be worth a lot of money.

There are definitely tens of thousands of taels.

After all, it is also the accumulation of many years by an established family. Although this old family has declined, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse.

After buying all the back hills of Shuangfeng Village, Qin Niu's plan to build a lair can be officially launched.

On the same day, he and Yan Ruhai went to the city to go through the transfer procedures.

Qin Niu is now a first-class noble, and he can purchase land and houses tax-free. This is a big benefit.

The transaction tax and deed tax on land probably account for nearly 10%. In other words, the purchase price of an acre of ordinary fertile land is thirteen taels of silver, and the additional tax paid to the government is as high as one, two, or three taels of silver.

Qin Niu bought the back hill of Shuangfeng Village. This alone can save more than sixty taels of tax money.

During the transfer, he discovered that Yan Ruhai had many connections in the city.

Not only the government officials were familiar with Yan Ruhai, but also some wealthy businessmen and landowners who came to handle the formalities would exchange a few words with Yan Ruhai.

"Brother Yan, have you heard something? Recently, a large number of aphids and cutworms have appeared along the Blackwater River. The plants that were eaten by locusts were destroyed by aphids as soon as they sprouted. Many plants in the fields were destroyed by aphids. Crops had their roots cut off by cutworms and died in patches.”

A wealthy old man with a square head and big ears spoke to Yan Ruhai in a low voice.

"It's not spreading, right?"

Yan Ruhai asked slightly nervously.

"There is a trend of spreading, but we are not sure yet. Many people are waiting and watching. It is because I have a good relationship with you that I revealed the news to you so that you can prepare in advance."

"Thank you very much! After I go back, I will immediately ask the farmers at home to make some arrangements. Alas, it is a pity that it is difficult to find an insect master. My Yan family has a beast master and a farmer, but there is no insect master."

Yan Ruhai shook his head and sighed.

The insect master is considered a profession with very limited development potential.

And because insect masters have a bad reputation and are intimidating, not many people choose this profession.

Basically, they are children from poor families. There is really no way out, so they have no choice but to choose the career path of being a insect master.

One thing must be explained. It is one thing to want to be a worm master, but it is another thing to be able to become a worm master.

Even though Qin Niu has a lot of level three bugs, the masters of the Nine Insect Gang also have a lot of level three and above bugs. These people are actually the elite of the elite.

For ordinary people, it is very difficult to become a insect master without the guidance and help of a powerful insect master.

It is much more difficult than obtaining a meritorious title.

There is no insect master in the Yan family, and there wasn't much in the past.

Nowadays, pest disasters occur frequently, and the Yan family's situation has become very passive.

"Brother Yan, there is no need to worry too much. If the sky falls, there will be a tall man holding it up. The locust plague just ended, so there shouldn't be another insect plague. I still have to go over there to go through the transfer procedures. See you later."

The rich old man said hello and went over there to go through the transfer procedures.

Qin Niu found that there were quite a few people buying fields.

There are also many people selling them.

He heard that several people's purchase prices were twelve taels of silver per acre. It means that the price of land has started to drop.

As these big landowners sell off their land, land prices will fall further.

……

Returning to Shuangfeng Village, he has now become the new owner of the back mountain.

The total area of ​​all mountainous areas is 426 acres. The Yan family sold it to him at the price of one to two five cents of silver per acre.

It's a very low price.

Under normal circumstances, such hills near villages are usually sold for two taels of silver per acre.

Because as long as you work hard and cultivate it well, you can turn it into fertile land. It is more difficult to grow rice and wheat.

But planting sweet potatoes, camellia oleifera, tea leaves, bamboo, fir trees, etc. are all very good choices.

Qin Niu inspected the entire mountain area and already had some plans in mind.

In the past, if you wanted to enter the mountain, you had to take the mountain road in front of Xie Laizi's house. Now the back mountain of Shuangfeng Village belongs to him, and he can directly open a road from behind his house to enter the mountain.
