Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 127 Want to change land

The mountain behind Qinghe Village is not very high, but it is about a hundred feet long, and it is very long. The mountains are rolling and rolling for hundreds of miles.

In addition to Qinghe Village, there are several other villages. For example, Zhoujia in Hexi used to be Wangbei Village and Heishangou; Gujia in Hedong used to be Gujiazhuang and Dongkou Village.

Majiazhuangzi is located to the east of Qinghe Village, with fields in the middle. It is very close to Gujia Village, but it does not belong to Qinghe Village, but to Gujiazhuang.

Gujiazhuang was originally called Gushan Village, with only a dozen households. Later, a businessman named Gu bought a large area of ​​fertile farmland and wasteland around it and renamed it Gujiazhuang.

Gujiazhuang is a very interesting village.

In fact, there are currently less than twenty households, including landlords, hunters, medicine farmers, and tenant farmers, but there are very few homesteaders. There are not two serious homesteaders in one village.

However, because seven or eight years ago, the Ma family bought a small village named Gu merchant at the foot of the mountain, and the head of the village, named Gu merchant, took care of the fields here, so it could not be regarded as a small village.

Of course, it cannot be compared with large villages like Qinghe Village that are divided into Hedong and Hexi. Regardless of population, the area of ​​​​Hedong alone can be as large as that of an ancient village.

Along the way, Zhou Banxia looked thoughtfully at the junction between the two villages, then at the foot of the mountain to the north and the direction out of the village to the south.

"...Zhuangzi is still too young, and it is not enough to raise more livestock. Several nephews in the family are also older. They are different from my brother in that they like to run down the mountain."

Zhou Banxia had been lucky enough to visit Gujiazhuang, where Majiazhuangzi was located, and after listening to what Ma Shan said, he understood that the Ma family wanted to take over Gujiazhuang.

"Furthermore, my great-grandfather's generation lived in the mountains and cultivated some food on their own without paying taxes. Although it was not as fertile as the fields below the mountains, they still produced more or less harvests.

It is no longer like that now, unless you go to the mountains to open up wasteland, but that is of no use, it is far and tiring, and the crops are not enough to be destroyed by the livestock in the mountains, so it is better to go into the mountains and trap them, and you can get a tooth sacrifice at least.

In fact, ever since he bought Zhuangzi, my father had been thinking about buying land. Hard work paid off, and after seven or eight years, the youngest member of the Gu family was now relieved.

The land we are talking about also belongs to the Gu family, and it happens to be next to our village. My father said that if you are interested in it, it would be the best place for us to get this land. "

After Zhou Banxia listened quietly, he didn't ask whether it would make the Ma family's sisters-in-law unhappy after they had been thinking about it for so long, and finally dividing the thirty-two acres.

According to Ma Shan, the youngest member of the Gu family relented. He was afraid that even Zhuangzi had sold it long ago and that the youngest member would not have even half an acre of land left. All of it must have been transferred to the Ma family.

That’s a lot of fields.

"Now the Gu family's farmland in Gujiazhuang, including the slopes, totals more than 630 acres, and the 32 acres we want are surrounded by 50 acres.

If my father hadn't asked the youngest of the Gu family to get as much of these eighty acres of land as I heard someone had wanted it for a long time, all of it might have been sold off. "

As she said that, Ma Shan stretched out her hand and said, "Well, that is the eighty-plus acres of land. The one on the left is fifty acres, and the one on the right is the thirty-two acres we are going to look at today."

Zhou Banxia looked in the direction she pointed.

To be honest, the fields were covered with snow, and Ma Shan didn't know how many acres there were even if she didn't tell her.

Anyway, looking around, for a senior southerner like her, there weren't even field ridges, so she really couldn't understand it. "Is there any winter wheat growing there?"

"Yes, isn't that right?"

"Where?"

Ma Shan laughed.

Zhou Banxia was very amused when he asked himself, "I really don't know how winter wheat grows. I've never seen it grow so big." Ma Shan was not surprised. She was not in the village when she was only five years old. She didn't know how it grew. That's the weird thing. Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered something.

"I forgot to ask you, does your mother's family have thirty acres of land in Gujiazhuang?"

Zhou Banxia didn't deny it. Her father had kept it secret before because he didn't have an adopted daughter. At the same time, she also understood, "Your father wants to trade these fifty acres with my father?"

Ma Shan hesitated for a moment and nodded heavily, "Go back and tell my uncle that my father does want to trade with him. Your land is right in the middle of the land that my father wants to buy.

Knowing that my uncle spent a lot of money to buy those 30 acres, my father said he would not let his uncle suffer.

It's just that he doesn't want to mention it to his uncle in person. He's afraid that his uncle won't be happy and won't tell him clearly, which makes relatives feel uncomfortable. If it doesn't work, he won't get through it.

I told you that we wanted to buy more dowry land. My father said that we could exchange the fifty acres of land next to Qinghe Village to my uncle. Let me wait for you to come back and see what you think. "

No wonder the estimated value of all the thirty-two acres was less than three hundred taels of silver, but this was a good thing, and her father would definitely be willing to exchange it.

Zhou Banxia thought for a while and nodded slowly, "In my opinion, there is nothing to exchange. It's not ancestral property, but it's just a little bit. In exchange, it's as much as it should be. I can't let my uncle suffer."

"You are stupid."

Zhou Banxia sneered and said to himself that it was because you didn’t know that my father was Pixiu and he was cruel to himself and even more cruel to outsiders. If you don't give him a satisfactory price, not to mention your in-laws and biological father will be useless.

"That's good." Zhou Banxia couldn't think too much, it was really windy in the wild, and he was afraid of being swallowed loudly when he spoke, "Master, is he in Zhuangzi at the moment?

If he is here, ask him to send someone to invite my father to come to Zhuangzi and let the two brothers discuss it among themselves.

On the other hand, do you want these thirty-two acres to belong to me, and then ask the uncle for the ten acres of dowry land yourself? If it works, I'll leave all the deeds here to my father. "

Ma Shan was so shocked that she blurted out, "How much dowry do you have?"

"Not much, just enough to make ends meet."

Ma Shan rolled her eyes at her, "I thought you had about the same amount of cash as me, fifty taels at most, maybe a little over two hundred taels.

Unfortunately, I still think that we have spent all the money. No matter how much our grandparents worry about it, it is not easy for us to sell the land we finally found to support them. "

I guess that's what you think. You were scared by the old man last night. "Can you just say it's okay?" Zhou Banxia pulled up her high collar to cover her face.

"You look like you're afraid of the cold." Ma Shan joked, fearing that she might actually get cold, "Okay, I'll ask my dad to see if there's any other place here that I can use."

It's great to have such a rich man, Zhou Banxia said that he was almost jealous. Somehow, it seems that she has been surrounded by rich second generations her entire life, but she is the only one who is extremely poor.

"Yes, sister-in-law, I almost forgot that I need you to keep it a secret for me. My father knows that we want to buy the dowry land, but he didn't know that I would buy thirty-two acres in one go."

Ma Shan almost felt a stomachache from laughing, and nodded hurriedly: Keep it a secret, keep it a secret! When my uncle asked me, I said the money Rokuro raised for you privately.

When asked by outsiders, it is still said that one person has ten acres of dowry land.

I also asked who the extra ones belong to?

Asking so clearly what you want to do!
