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

Chapter 651

Brother Ge is saying that her brother has been entangled in disputes recently, and she has no time to find him for a drink, but she wants to complain that he doesn't have time to accompany him, as if they have a romantic relationship, do you want to be so resentful?

but……

Fang Xiaofu raised his eyebrows suddenly, and blurted out in surprise: "Why is Brother Ge willing to shave his beard?"

She assured her that she said this completely unintentionally and without malice.It's just that it's weird no matter how you hear it.

Sure enough, Ge Changxing curled his lips, and looked at her with more resentment: "Aren't you afraid that I will be misunderstood as an uncle? I'm not yet thirty, and I'm still young."

"..." Fang Xiaofu blushed suddenly, smiled awkwardly, and didn't know how to answer the question.But she had scolded Wen Haotian long ago in her heart.

Ge Changxing's reversal was obviously aimed at her.Why did he know that she regarded him as an uncle?It must have been said by my brother, I didn't expect that the dignified Mr. Tianyi would have a long tongue.

Fang Xiaofu's heart was broken, and someone who continued to squat on the wall waiting for Hongxing in the courtyard of Fangshan Village sneezed twice in a row, not knowing why.

And the sound of his sneeze also alarmed a group of sisters walking in the alley, everyone looked over and bowed in unison.He quickly waved his hand as a greeting.

And his eyes couldn't help but turned to someone, who had already blushed and walked over quickly with his head bowed.

After Fang Xiaofu and Ge Changxing chatted and laughed a few words, they quickly asked about the farm.Ge Changxing stopped teasing her, put down his teacup, took out a booklet and flipped through it.

"There are several places in Tianzhuang. I have visited them all. There are six places that are suitable. Two places are located in Huaguofan and Lujiapo, more than 30 miles south of the city. Although it is far away, there are official roads to go straight, so it is convenient to get there. .”

"Flower and Fruit Vendor covers an area of ​​more than 500 mu, including paddy fields and dry fields, and a hill tens of feet high. There are more than 30 apple trees, 50 yellow-skin pear trees, more than [-] peach trees, and more than [-] trees. An orange tree, and a few other fruit trees here and there."

"There is a small pond not far from the ground below the hillside, and the water for the mountain and the ground mainly comes from there. There is a small bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain, and the yard is next to the bamboo forest."

"However, the yard is not big. It is similar to the two entrance yards you bought before, and there is an extra side yard for storage. There is a big sunning valley in front. The helpers are mainly people from the nearby Huaguofan. They have a simple background and there are not many bad people. .”

"I have already discussed with the host family that the land counts as 20 mu, which is converted into 3000 taels per mu, and the mountain counts as 5000 taels. If the mountain counts as 500 taels, then this year's fruit will be kept. The yard is counted as [-] taels, and the pond is free. "

As early as when Ge Changxing introduced this farm with an orchard in detail, Fang Xiaofu thought with bright eyes, sure enough, buying a farm will have additional functions.If so many fruit trees are well maintained and the fruit yields are high, they can still make a lot of money.

After hearing Ge Changxing's words, she quickly settled the accounts and was shocked. It's more than 1 taels of silver, so expensive!
"Brother Ge, why did you sell such a good Zhuangzi?" Fang Xiaofu suddenly asked strangely after calculating for a long time.

Not to mention the mountain, this land is a bit expensive, it must be a fertile field, but such a good thing can make money everywhere, why doesn't the owner want it?

"The main family lives in Huaguofan, but someone in the family is going to take the country test next month. They want to go to the capital to join relatives before winter, and entrust their connections to enter the Taixue, so they sold all their ancestral property here."

Fang Xiaofu couldn't help but nodded, thinking, this family is too impatient, at least they will make a decision after the township test.He has never passed the provincial examination, and his hope of entering the Imperial College is even slimmer, but his family property is sold out.

At that time, there was not even a way out.

However, such a good Zhuangzi should not be for nothing.Fang Xiaofu thought of this and immediately said: "This place is good, if there are no problems with the fields and orchards, you can make money soon."

"Well, there are many fruit growers in Huaguofan, and fruit shops from far and near go there to buy." Ge Changxing smiled and reminded, "Don't worry, let me tell you about other situations."

Fang Xiaofu nodded quickly.

"Lujiapo is farther from the South Lake, in the other direction of Huaguofan, but the distance is not too far, about twenty miles away. Last winter, a piece of wasteland was reclaimed..."

Ge Changxing went on to talk about the situation of Lujiapo. There is also a small hill in this wasteland, but there are no fruit trees, and there are some wild fruits.

There are small animals in the mountains, but there are not many hunters. They can’t hunt big ones, and the hunters don’t make any money. When the farmers go to the mountains to hunt some pheasants and hares, they come back in groups during the winter slack. also.

There is Lishu Town more than ten miles west of Lujiapo, and Lishu Village on the other side of Lishu Town...

Lujiapo is not as fertile as Fangshan Village, but it is much stronger than Shijiapo. At least there are barren mountains and wasteland that can be reclaimed.

It's just that ordinary people are unwilling to cultivate wasteland. Although the relevant departments have given preferential treatment for three years of tax exemption, how much time, manpower, and material resources will it take to cultivate wasteland?Xindi will have to grow fat for a few more years. After finally fattening up, it has to pay taxes again.

In other words, the court gave a three-year buffer period because it knew that there was no oil and water for the time being, and the hard work of the people in the process of turning a piece of barren land into fertile land was not rewarded.

Of course, if the land is reclaimed and sold to rich people, it may be possible to share some benefits from the village.

For example, the thousands of mu of land reclaimed by Lujiapo this time was collected by the county government office at the price of three taels of silver per mu, while the price given to the people in the village was two taels, and he got one tael.

From the perspective of the common people, this price is already very fair. I can get two taels for my own efforts, and the leaders above only get one tael instead of half and half, which is already very kind.

And the county magistrate's office handed it over to the county government at a price of four taels, and did not monopolize the big pie of this benefit.If the county magistrate's office directly releases it at the price of five taels, the benefit is by no means a small sum.

However, the county magistrate only took one or two, showing no greed. This move naturally pleased Zhang Zichang, the county magistrate of Qingyang, and decided to report to the state government for commendation for his meritorious service in reclamation.

And Zhang Zichang handed it over to Ge Changxing at a price of six taels, but did not directly release the land from the yamen.Because he knew that Ge Changxing was a well-connected and prestigious middleman, and most importantly, Ge Changxing was a friend of Mr. Tianyi.

Who is Mr. Tianyi?Others may not know, but how could he not know Mr. Tianyi's real background after being a county magistrate for so many years?Whether it's making friends with Mr. Tianyi or currying favor with the city guard, he will definitely do such generous things.

"If the comprehensive environment of Lujiapo is good, it will be a good land." Fang Xiaofu praised after hearing this, but his heart began to be entangled.

Excluding the sporadic corners and hilltops, there are still [-] mu of land, which is tens of thousands of taels of silver...
