The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 124 Buying Land
"You're a girl, do you know if you can't be a soldier?" Chu Ying kept thinking that this guy hit her 4 times just now, but she only hit her 3 times, and she still needs to pay it back.

After arriving at the Lu Mansion, Lu Ming led Chu Ying to the cashier's side, "10 taels of silver, take it to her."

Chu Ying's eyes widened when she heard that it was 10 taels, and she couldn't believe it. In this way, a bear paw is more than 3 taels, which is much more than what Wang Naiyuan said. I bought a second dealer, so I sold less, and it may be that Lu Ming put water on himself and gave more on purpose.

"No, Lu Ming, you can give me 3 taels of silver first, and leave the rest with you. I can't take that much, and it's also jealous. If you have time, help me find a place close to the stream. No need. It’s great, it doesn’t need to be used for farming, and when the paper mill expands, more water will be needed, and the pond on my side is not enough.”

"Okay, then I'll keep it for you. Your grandpa Li is waiting for you at the gate of the city, so I won't send you off." Lu Ming put the basket filled with copper plates on Chu Ying's back.

Chu Ying found Grandpa Li and asked how to buy the wasteland. Chu Ying saw that there was a wasteland beyond the house, and there was no boundary wood on it, and she asked Aunt Wang that it was unowned wasteland, and the land price is not good now. Should be cheaper.

"Look for Lizheng. You can exchange the land for the title deed if you give money to the wasteland. The wasteland is labor-intensive. There are many people in this village who are selling land. If you want to buy it, you can find a broker. It's too troublesome to do it yourself."

Grandpa Li took himself to a broker's house on the way, because it was agreed that he would come to the house tomorrow for a detailed talk, and Chu Ying gave Grandpa Li two liters of chestnuts when he got home.

"No, no, I can't ask for it, a few copper coins are enough, life is not easy."

Chu Ying took Grandpa Li's hand to pick up the small sack, "Grandpa Li, there is still room for you to help in the future, so go, these chestnuts can be eaten for a while."

Grandpa Li patted Chu Ying's hand, "Thank you girl, let's go."

On the second day, Li Yu came by car with a fork ruler for measuring the land, "Chu Ying's house? Hey... Miss, I also have good land over there. Now some people are eager to buy it, and the price is also good. Do you want to go and see?"

"No, no, I don't have so much money, and I don't care about eating. I just want to open up the wasteland and plant some beans and wheat. There will be some surplus in the spring, or I won't be able to survive next year." Chu Sakura also didn't want to act like she was rich, it would be bad if she was thieves before the time.

"Oh, that's it." Li Yuyuan thought that there would be a place for the land that someone wanted to buy and urged to sell, but he didn't expect that he was also a poor ghost.

"Don't worry, your intermediate money will not lose you."

Li Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled. This age is not good, and he naturally wants to make some money. He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start measuring the land, "Which piece do you want?"

"Start from this side to the other side of the mountain." Chuying's side happened to be at the foot of the mountain, and this piece of land was a semicircle facing the road in front of Wang Naiyuan's house. The land still had a slight slope, but it was very small.

"It's more than 5 mu at least. Do you have a lot of people in your family? Can you plant them?" Li Yu just entered the yard and saw Chu Ying and another beautiful and intelligent girl.

"It's good to have neighbors to help. At that time, we have to dig a pond and waste some land." Chu Ying hasn't figured out what to plant yet, but it will be cheaper to buy some real estate now.

"It's really necessary to dig a pond. Look at this land, it's hard and dry. It's not a good land." Li Yu drew an outline similar to this land on the ground where he started measuring, and then began to measure, waiting to eat After the meal was measured for a while, it was finally finished.

In fact, you don’t need to do the work of measuring the land yourself, it should be done by the government office, but who will help you measure the land at this age, there was a land sale before, and the boundaries were not clear, and it was said that the government government sent people to measure it After dragging for almost half a month without any movement, I finally did it myself.

"It's 5 and a half acres in total, and the rest of the corners and corners are not counted. They are all small heads. I will bring the people from the government office to visit later, just to have a look. Let's go through the motions. This wasteland is one acre. You need to charge 1 renminbi. It’s a bad age recently, and the price has been lowered. I will charge you half a renminbi for hard work. If you want to finish it quickly, you can give an extra half a renminbi as an accommodation fee, or half a renminbi It will take many months to get it done, and if you do it yourself, you won’t be able to do it in a few months.”

This is the reason why Li Yu doesn't like to help in the wasteland business. He really doesn't earn much, but he only earns errand fees. If he is good, he can draw quite a lot of money from it, but for the sake of Grandpa Li, It's also a good deed.

Chu Ying was afraid of these trivial matters, so she hired a broker to handle them, "Hurry up, it's not good after the farming season, and this autumn will be over half a month away, and it will be inconvenient to open up wasteland when it snows." .”

"Okay, then prepare the money, I'll bring someone here, and then we'll go to the government office together." After waiting for a long time, Chu Ying finally saw Li Yu's carriage. After a quick look, he walked around and got into the carriage.

"Bring the money, let's go to the government office." When he arrived at the government office, Li Yu nodded and bowed, flattering all kinds of things, and secretly stuffing money. Although Chu Ying was not very comfortable with it, maybe people in this line of work need to be slick.

"We can rest assured that you are doing things, so let's do it this way. Have you brought the money?" Chu Ying arranged the 5 cents in a row on the low table.

"Well, hurry up and draft over there, I'll take a look over here." The fat-headed and big-eared Yamen people were scattered in the side hall.

"Hey, okay, look, it's almost winter, and there's not much work to be done on the ground, if not, let's start counting from next year." Li Yu flirted with the yamen man who was doing the work.The wasteland can be exempted from tax for two years, and the land was not a good place to send people to look at, so the Yamen nodded perfunctorily.

After Li Yu finished writing, they read it and stamped it. Chu Ying also pressed her finger, "Brothers, you have time to drink tea, so let's go first."

Li Yu's face drooped when he got out of the government office, but he smiled again when he saw the reward Chu Ying offered, he was also a money fan. "From the beginning of next year, you don't have to pay taxes for two years. Originally, you have to start counting from this year, so that's a loss. I'm doing business, and it's still very reliable. I'll send you back."

When Li Yu reached the intersection, she put herself down. Chu Ying looked at the land deed filled with words and stamped with several chapters and her own finger prints, and felt that she was one step closer to being a landlady.

But looking at the wasteland that was overgrown with weeds and didn't respond to her feet, Chu Ying felt that it would take a lot of effort to grow food, but it was a good deal to spend a total of 6 and a half dollars.

I will start to struggle tomorrow, but seeing such a big piece of land is still a bit cold, maybe I should buy a better piece of land so that I can plant seeds immediately, but even if Chu Ying has the money, she doesn’t want to buy it, after all, this piece of land is The one closest to me will definitely look good if I cultivate it well, and I will have to go a long way to cultivate other lands, and I won’t know anything if it is stolen.
