Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 1170 I want to take the stone field as my own
The owner of the quarry almost fainted on the spot.These words were obviously threatening, but Mr. Tianyi's relationship with Shijiapo was really well known.

Later, Fang Ziyuan begged the county magistrate, saying that the quarry became like this because of over-exploitation, which was both a natural disaster and man-made.But Shijiapo has always been poor, and now it is undoubtedly worse. The county magistrate is asked to petition for the people to exempt Shijiapo from taxes.

He didn't say that he would be exempt for a few years, and this is also an interesting point. He didn't make things difficult for the county magistrate, so the magistrate magistrate pondered for a while, then nodded and said he would report it.

Later, the county magistrate acted as a peacemaker, saying that if the owner of the quarry was willing to be kind and hand over this waste land to the imperial court for recovery, he would also report it to the government and transfer the compensation to the yamen.

In other words, if you are willing to give in, you can avoid the compensation you should bear.

The owner of the quarry fell into deep thought after hearing this, but the villagers in Shijiapo, especially the injured villagers, were worried about the issue of compensation, and their discussions were somewhat excited.

The county magistrate didn't stop him, but just looked at the owner of the quarry calmly, until he wanted to faint but couldn't.After a long time, I tentatively asked: "I don't know what price to pay for this land?"

"I'll give you the price of new land, three taels per mu. If it's really based on the abandoned land, it's not bad to get two taels." The county magistrate said generously.

"But back then I paid ten taels of silver..."

"You buy a new robe for ten taels of silver, and you have to sell it for a month. Can you still sell it for ten taels?" To get rich, isn’t it just borrowing chickens to lay eggs?”

One sentence exposed the value gap in price, and the surrounding villagers all condemned the owner of the quarry, don't be too greedy in life, people are doing it, and the sky is watching!

"It's fine if you don't want to sell it, or you can find the owner to sell it yourself, but there are two things I want you to be clear about." The county magistrate opened his mouth again.

"One is that this quarry must not be opened, and it is impossible to change the owner. The other is the issue of compensation. Among other things, those injured stonemasons must be compensated."

"Then, let's pay for two months' wages. Even if you are recuperating, you can still get wages. It's not bad..." the owner of the quarry said immediately.

"Medical money is not money, is it? This injury is not sick. It's really bleeding so much and has been in pain for a long time. Maybe there will be some kind of disability. In the future, I will not be able to do heavy work for the rest of my life."

A scholar from the Shi family said immediately.

"At least it costs 80 taels. It depends on the recovery situation later. If it is true that you will have to lie on the kang for most of your life... Qian'er will cost 800 taels." Fang Ziyuan also said.

"You! You are robbing!" The owner of the quarry angrily pointed at Fang Ziyuan, "You are poor, you have never seen money in your life, have you?"

"Heh, one hundred thousand and eighty thousand taels can still be spent, but it's a pity that this is your quarry."

Fang Ziyuan snorted coldly, stared coldly suddenly, and shouted: "Since the main quarry is a profiteer who disregards human life, it is impossible for us scholars to jointly send a letter to the capital."

"Hmph, even if you don't get 800 taels of compensation from you, your quarry will definitely have to be confiscated! The landslides here also have problems with your mining, and you have to bear the responsibility!"

"At that time, you won't even be able to sell the abandoned mountain!"

"That's right, it must be that you over-exploited and deducted wages on weekdays, even God is angry!"

There was a lot of discussion on Shijiapo, and there was no need for the Fang brothers to say anything, just to mobilize them.

As for Shi Yiji's post office in the quarry, it's not easy to argue at the moment, but he knows that his cousins ​​will definitely not fight for nothing, and there must be a result in this matter.

So he quietly called the village chief and the village chief of Fangshan Village aside to discuss.The village head looked embarrassed, and the village head uncle of Fangshan Village agreed that there was no problem.

"Okay! Alright!" The owner of the quarry saw that the matter could not be settled and weighed it up and said loudly, "Sell it! Is it okay to sell it! But I am also a victim, and I will not start working until this year. For the wages I paid, my stones are gone!"

It is true to say that, although he over-mined and caused landslides, he mined legally, and there are not so many technical means to monitor the extent of mining these days.

This day is going to hail, this day is going to rain heavily, this day is going to blow strong winds, can he still be the master of the sky?

The quarry disappeared overnight, so he had to drink the northwest wind.

"Boss, you can use the money from selling the abandoned mountain to change to other businesses. It's better than our poor family that is gone and seriously injured!"

Finally, a man with a bandage on his head persuaded him with red eyes: "Don't blame me for not listening, you have to be lucky that this incident only caused such a small loss. If the landslide is more serious, it will be half of the village!"

Half of the village is not a loss of money, someone must be beheaded!
The owner of the quarry shuddered and couldn't help wiping away his tears.

"How about this, your mountainous land has 9000 mu, and the yamen's recovery is 1000 taels, and you will be compensated with [-] taels of severance pay. But you also have to pay the stonemasons..." The county magistrate spoke again, but was suddenly caught by the owner of the quarry. interrupted.

"1 taels is 1 taels, but I won't be liable for compensation. I will give you whatever the quarry is now. The stones in it can be sold for money after being dug out, so it can be used as compensation, right?"

The owner of the quarry immediately stated his position, but he still had to put aside all responsibilities, and wanted to leave with 1 taels of clean money.

"That's fine. For the sake of our descendants in Shijiapo, this quarry cannot be reopened anyway." The old village head nodded, and took a step forward to bow to the county magistrate.

"My lord, is the 1000 taels of severance pay to Shichang a supplement from the imperial court?"

"Naturally. It is inconvenient for the imperial court to just give you compensation. After all, the injured people are employees of the quarry, so they can only go to the quarry. But I will report the tax exemption and plead for you."

Although the county magistrate is shrewd, he is honest and benevolent, and has a high reputation among the people. Therefore, he can only seek more help for those who need it more without being on the sidelines.

"It is a fact that our villagers were injured in the quarry, and it is also a fact that the quarry of the owner of the quarry was closed." The old village chief said pertinently, but changed the subject.

"Therefore, if the owner of the quarry and the county magistrate can sell this mountain land to us for 9000 taels, and cancel the land tax exemption, it will be the greatest compensation for the injured villagers and Shijiapo, which has lived on the quarry for generations. .”

"You guys! This is trying to take the quarry as your own!" The owner of the quarry seemed to understand something, and shouted angrily, "Kick me away, and you quarry your own stones, it's a good idea!"

"Are you crazy? Just now the county magistrate said that this quarry must be closed and no more quarrying is allowed!" The old village head glared at the owner of the quarry angrily.
