Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 282 Buy Zhuangzi
Now that the three of them had settled down properly, Qiao Yun didn't stay at the inn, but took them away.At this moment, Qiaoyun didn't have the intention of wandering anymore, so everyone went back directly.

As soon as he entered the door, before Qiaoyun could go to his yard, he saw Qinglei coming from the study with a happy expression on his face. "Sister, I have good news."

Qiaoyun raised her eyebrows, "Brother, what good thing did you do to make you look like this?" Qiaoyun was a little curious, Qinglei was rarely so happy.

"Isn't it about you buying land? Just now a shopkeeper of a dental shop came to tell me that there is a Zhuangzi in Muyang County that is going to be sold out. There are fifty or sixty families in the Zhuangzi, with a total of more than 900 mu of land. And the price is not high, only 2000 taels in total." Qing Lei didn't hide it, and announced the good news directly.

"Really?" Qiaoyun was overjoyed when she heard this. She really didn't expect that there would be news so soon, "Brother, what is going on? Whose land is so cheap? They are all sold." According to the market price, one mu of land is basically around ten taels of silver, plus a farmer, and there are fifty or sixty families. It is impossible to buy it with such a small amount of money. ah.

"We're lucky. This Zhuangzi belongs to a big family in Muyang County, and all the households in that Zhuangzi are servants of their family. This family has been in Muyang County for some years. It's Muyang County. The richest man. However, it was found out a while ago that this person had colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty, and his intentions were wrong. Isn't this directly ransacked?"

It has been a year and a half since Qiaoyun came to this world, especially after being with Chu Ruifeng, she finally has a deeper understanding of this world.Today is the Great Liao Dynasty, but before that, it was Great Zhao.

The Daliao Dynasty used to be a tribe on the grassland, and it only started to prosper slowly a hundred years ago, and then gradually encroached on other tribes, and finally went south to invade Dazhao.At that time, the Zhao court was relatively corrupt and its national strength was weak, so it was no match for the grassland cavalry.There was no other way, the royal family had no choice but to abandon the northern capital and retreat all the way to the south of the Yangtze River.

The Daliao iron cavalry is not good at water warfare, so they can only watch the other side of the river and cannot cross it. In this way, the two countries have confronted each other across the river for many years.However, Daliao's desire to unify the world has never stopped, and it is actively committed to cultivating sailors.Finally, more than ten years ago, the Daliao navy sailed across the river and invaded the capital of Dazhao, and Dazhao perished.

Although Daliao unified the world, it was not peaceful, because countless former ministers led the people to rise up to resist.Over the years, whenever the imperial court received news that there were remnants of the previous dynasty, they would spare no effort to encircle and suppress them.It is probably for this reason that the big family in Muyang County was just ransacked and wiped out.

"I had someone say hello to several nearby county towns before. This time, as soon as there is news, there will be a letter from there. Sister, would you like to go with me to see what's going on there?" Qing Lei didn't care what the reason behind it was, he only knew that this time Qiaoyun could buy the Zhuangzi.

Qiaoyun doesn't care about these family and country affairs, she cares more about the land, "Okay, then let's go and have a look, if there is no problem, let's just buy it and forget it." Such a good thing, But others may not be able to meet them if they squeeze their heads. If it weren't for Chu Ruifeng's considerable influence here, it would be impossible for Qiaoyun and the others to turn.

"Then let's go. We're leaving for Muyang now. We probably won't be there until tomorrow morning. Then we'll go directly to the yamen. Now that house has been confiscated, and all the houses and land will be confiscated. If you are optimistic, we will Just buy it directly from the Yamen." Qing Lei is a man of action, and he will take Qiao Yun out immediately.

This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later. If you go late, you may be bought by others.It is rare to have such a place that suits one's heart's desire, Qiaoyun naturally does not want to miss it.So Qiaoyun hurriedly asked someone to find the housekeeper, and after explaining the affairs in the mansion, he led people to set off with Qinglei.

Qiaoyun led Chuntao and Xiahe in the car, Qinglei and a few guards rode on horseback, and the group left Haining Prefecture and headed southwest all the way.Haining Prefecture is about two hundred and seventy-eight miles away from Muyang County, and it is definitely not possible to reach it in a day, so Qinglei estimated the itinerary and sent people to the front to make arrangements in advance.

Fortunately, there was a town on the way, and the guards rushed over to reserve the inn in advance. When Qiaoyun and the others arrived, everything was ready at the inn.So everyone ate casually and then stayed to rest. They got up early the next day and hurried on their way. At any rate, they arrived at Muyang County at the end of the hour.

When he got here, he didn't care about resting anymore, so Qinglei took people directly to the county government office, and when he arrived at the county government office, he found the county magistrate who was in charge of this matter.Fortunately, Qinglei was very familiar with that person, so the county magistrate immediately brought a few servants and the land and household registration booklet from the county government, and went out of the city with Qinglei Qiaoyun and others to see the land.

The people left Muyang County, walked about ten miles to the south, and arrived at a Zhuangzi.The guard pointed to the Zhuangzi and the large piece of fertile land ahead, and told Qinglei that this was the land they wanted to buy.

Qiaoyun got out of the carriage and carefully looked at the large piece of land in front of him.The terrain here is very flat, the soil quality is also very good, and there are two small rivers passing through the middle of the land, and there are also two ponds.This was originally a manor of the family, and the layout of the place was very reasonable, so Qiao Yun took a fancy to it at a glance.

"Sister, what do you think of this land? If you think it's okay, let's go back and buy it." Qing Lei walked to Qiao Yun's side and asked in a low voice.

"Brother, this place is very good. I'm looking forward to it. Let's buy it." Qiaoyun is very satisfied. Such a good place is really rare, and she doesn't want to miss it.

Now that Qiaoyun had already made up his mind, Qinglei naturally had nothing to say, so he turned around and made an agreement with the county magistrate, and they all entered Zhuangzi together.The households in the Zhuangzi are all the private property of the owner. The owner committed a crime and was arrested by the yamen. They were expressly forbidden to leave, waiting for the yamen's disposal.

Seeing people coming from the yamen at this moment, all the farmers were scared and hid, but the guards stepped forward and dragged the head of the farm out.The county magistrate looked at the Zhuangtou, and ordered the Zhuangtou to call someone, who led them to re-measure the land and verify the population.

Everyone has been busy here all morning, and finally measured the land properly, which is consistent with the land book.Then the county magistrate called all the people on Zhuangzi together, and made it clear that from today, this Zhuangzi belongs to Qiaoyun.

The farmers naturally did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly brought their families over to salute.These people have no autonomy. No matter who buys this place, they are their masters, and they have to listen to others in the future.

Qiaoyun looked at these people, and had to say some comforting words, telling them to work here honestly, as long as they behaved themselves, they would definitely not treat them badly in the future.Seeing how kind Qiao Yun was, those farmers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
