Chapter 1171
"We want to buy it and return the forest to the mountain, and build a chicken, duck, cattle and sheep farm down the slope." The old village chief didn't hide it, and turned to the county magistrate to explain with tears in his eyes.

"The soil quality in Shijiapo is not good, and there is not much land that can be planted. It is also the poorest village in Shiliba Village. For generations, there are more workers than farmers. Now that the quarry is gone, most people in the village have lost their jobs."

"Now we also want to learn from Wuziqiu. If the land can't be planted, we can build workshops. The trees we plant can be sawed and made into furniture when they grow up. It can also be considered as a way for the villagers to survive."

"The village chief has a heart..."

"In addition to going out to work in our village, we can only work in the quarry. If we want to study and find a way out, we can't afford it..."

"If we don't give food today, we have to find a way to make a living..."

The villagers who had been in a turbulent mood couldn't help but wiped their tears when they heard the words of the old village chief, and said with emotion.

"The wishes of the old village chief are commendable, and this is a way out. It can also solve the problem for the court," the county magistrate said with praise, "This is feasible. I wonder if the owner has any opinions?"

"...No more." The owner of the quarry saw that he bought the quarry instead of continuing to quarry, and remembered that the county magistrate had indeed said that no more mining was allowed, and he thought that he could get an extra 1000 taels of compensation but not use it as compensation, so I agreed.

"Then make an appointment..." The magistrate was about to make a conclusion when someone interrupted him.

"Master Xiancheng, since the owner of the stone field has reached an agreement with Shijiapo, why not go to the Yamen to settle the matter now, treat it as a dispute, and close the case on the spot, so you can log into the file, right?"

Fang Ziyuan made a big bow and smiled.Seeing him like this, how could the county magistrate who has a very good personal relationship with his father refuse?Then he looked at the owner of the quarry inquiringly: "Have you brought the contract?"

"This... I didn't expect to sell the quarry, so I didn't bring it with me." Although the owner of the quarry agreed, he couldn't help feeling a little flustered when he heard the scholar's words, so he wanted to think about it.

"It doesn't matter if you don't bring it. Xiaosheng said just now that the case will be closed on the spot as a dispute. As long as the county magistrate, based on the statements of both parties and the witnesses, writes down the documents for archiving, he will directly hand over the new contract to Shijiapo Village and declare the old contract. The book is invalid."

"As expected of being the top student, this method is indeed clear and effective, so let's do it this way. But you have to pay the money on the spot!" The county magistrate nodded, not forgetting to remind.

The old village chief's heart trembled. There was not even 2000 taels in the public account, so he was asked to take 9000 taels... He couldn't help but glanced at Shi Yiji, and then at the village chief of Fangshan Village.

They were the ones who asked him to buy the land just now, which is naturally a good idea, but the money...you have to pay it back after borrowing it.

"Shijiapo really has no money, otherwise this kind of thing wouldn't have happened." Fang Ziyuan bowed again and explained, "However, Shijiapo has neighbors Fangshan Village and Daliu Village, so we decided to help."

"How to do it?" The county magistrate immediately asked curiously.He thought the Fang family would make a move.

"Da Liu Village will borrow 2000 taels, and Fangshan Village will borrow 3000 taels if it is more prosperous. In addition, Mr. Tianyi's in-law's family will borrow 1000 taels, and another 2000 taels will be borrowed for Mr. Tianyi."

"Our Fang family can borrow 1000 taels to start a shop and make a living. By the way, we will pay the transfer fee, and then we will be responsible for building the workshop and helping them open the workshop."

"As the saying goes: it is better to teach someone to fish than to be fished by someone. As long as the workshop is opened and a little is paid every year, these debts will always be paid off. I'm afraid it will be ten years later..."

Fang Ziyuan sighed suddenly when he said this, and stopped talking.

"I'll figure it out." The county magistrate curled his lips, why didn't he understand the meaning of this clever boy's words?Tell him to find a way to reduce taxes.

But is this something he can decide?He was just planning to write an official document and report it.

And because of his words, the villagers in Shijiapo fell silent. These thousands of taels, thousands of taels, are money that they have never seen in their entire lives...

The owner of the quarry fell silent. Now that the matter has come to this, what else can he say?But the situation in Shijiapo, he has been quarrying here for generations, how could he not know?

Now that the quarry is destined to be closed, he has avoided paying for it, so he is naturally happy to be a good person.

So the agreement was initially reached, and the county magistrate took the people back to the town, and the owner of the stone field asked the old village chief to get on the carriage, saying that he would take him for a ride, but Shi Yiji refused, saying that there were too many people on their side, so he had to prepare the carriage himself. Well, it's convenient to come back.

The head of Shijiapo village, six elders, Shi Yiji and Shi Yirui, several representatives of the village's scholars, Fang Ziyuan and the village elder, and a group of people drove several carriages towards the town.

Of course, everyone had to go back to get money before going, but Fang Ziyuan directly took out a small stack of thousand taels of silver notes and said, "Prepare for a rainy day."

Everyone couldn't help but rolled their eyes, and set off together.

Everyone thought that he had long planned to buy the quarry to solve this problem, but in fact he brought the money to help Shijiapo at an appropriate time.

Because Fang Xiaofu said that Shijiapo was too poor when he went out, the quarry should have been closed long ago.

But now, in the name of everyone, I can help Shijiapo buy that piece of land, build two workshops to make a living, and grow greenhouse vegetables in the future, which will always make a profit.

And they spread out the borrowers, keeping a low profile and protecting themselves.Being public is easy to attract people's attention.

Therefore, Mr. Tianyi, who was far away in the capital, and the second grandfather, who was next door, were "borrowed" by someone.

Because the dispute has been settled and the money is enough, soon a respondent signed and pledged, and the dispute was settled as a case, and a new deed was exchanged, and the transfer was completed on the same day. .

And Fang Ziyuan paid the transfer fee as promised, went to Ping An Medical Center to settle the bill, got back the arrears certificate signed by Fang Zizhan, and then returned to Shijiapo to discuss the workshop with the old village head.

But this is just an intention. Everything has to wait for the weather to improve. After the quarry is cleared out, trees and soil must be planted to consolidate the mountain.Therefore, building a workshop is a matter of summer.

That night, the old village head prepared a table at his home for the village head of Fangshan Village, the Fang family, and the Shi family to have dinner. However, Fang Ziyuan only went to Fang Ziyuan, Shi Yiji went to Shi's house, and everyone else ate at the aunt's house.

And Fang Zizhan and Fang Zijian have been helping in the ancestral hall, they didn't participate much, and they didn't go home together until very late.

After listening to the brothers' detailed explanation of the whole process, Fang Xiaofu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, "This is the best way out of nowhere."

"The matter of the workshop..." The brothers looked at her with some helplessness, because they agreed to go out on this matter first.

"It doesn't matter, but we have to adapt to local conditions and find the most suitable business for them." Fang Xiaofu said objectively as he was fine.
