Chapter 129 Buying Land
Hongxue persuaded Zhou Shi a few more words, and made Hongxi come to play with her mother with a wink, and then diverted her attention away.

In a blink of an eye, it was the season of harvesting rice and planting rapeseed. Seeing everyone busy in the field, Hongxue felt itchy. She ran to Sun Ruhe's field to help, while chatting with Aunt Sun.

"Auntie, your family has a lot of land, and this year is a good year. After harvesting this rice, there will be a lot of food left this year, right?"

"Where, Xue girl, you don't know that we farmers can hardly eat the food we grow ourselves. The court has to pay taxes, and after paying the taxes, there are still rents from the landlords. Very few of them can get into our own hands." Sun Ruhe Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he was very tired for a while, but he was very happy. Since he was injured, he never thought that one day he would be able to stand on the ground and help his family with farm work.

All this was brought to him by the little girl in front of him, and he really didn't know how to repay it.

Hongxue frowned unconsciously and said, "Don't these lands belong to you? Why do you still have to pay rent to the landlord?"

"Well, we poor people can't afford good land. The landlords bought it and rented it to us." Sun Ruhe said with a wry smile: "We can buy other land, but the production of that land is not high, we have to keep up with it." If the fields are the same and the court pays the same tax, who will buy them?"

Therefore, it is better to rent high-quality fields to plant, and when the harvest is good, there will be more food.

Hongxue silently looked at the paddy fields waiting for a good harvest in front of her, with a faint smile on her face, maybe she could also buy an acre of land and be a happy little landlord.

Thinking of this, she bid farewell to the Sun family and came back. First, she told Mrs. Zhou her thoughts. Mrs. Zhou was in favor of buying land. In her mind, farmers should have land.

Hongxue thought for a while, and then ran to find Chen Pengfei. She hadn't forgotten that there would be another man in her life in the future, and it was better to inform him about important things like buying land.

"You want to buy land? Do you know how to plant it?" Chen Pengfei frowned and asked. He knew that Hongxue's family had planted land before, but that was once. Now that she is his own daughter-in-law, how can she work in the field again? Reasonable, even her family doesn't need it.

"Well, I want to buy land, maybe use it for myself, or rent it out for rent." Hongxue explained casually with a smile.

"Do you have time? I heard that Baicaotang's business is getting better and better. You have increased from half a day every ten days to one day, and you have to do embroidery work. I really wonder where you have so much time." " Chen Pengfei stared at Hongxue with a pair of long and narrow eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.

"You also said that it's only a visit every ten days, so it doesn't take much time. What's more, I just want to grow a small piece of land I bought at that time, and rent out the rest. It's not bad to wait for the rent to be collected." Hong Xue twitched the corner of her mouth and said.She couldn't tell Chen Pengfei that she was hiding in the space and doing embroidery work. One day there was equal to half a month outside.

"But since you want to buy it, you can buy it, as long as you're happy." Chen Pengfei rubbed Hongxue's head with a smile and said, "It's not bad for us to be a couple of landlords together."

Hongxue went to the village chief's house that day and asked him to buy the land.

"Ah, you are going to buy land, but now is the season..." The village chief wanted to say that it is busy farming.

"Yeah, that's right, isn't it just right to grow rapeseed after buying it now?" Hongxue continued with a smile.

The village chief also thought about it, and immediately asked: "Well, how much do you plan to buy?"

"How many fields can I buy in the village?" Hongxue thought for a while, then looked at the village chief and asked.You can't really just buy one acre for three cents, so it's better not to buy it.

The village chief looked at Hongxue with a strange face and said, "There are tens of acres of land right next to your house that are now vacant."

"what happened?"

"The family committed a crime, and the fields were all taken back and redistributed. I'm going to do this today. I thought I'd tell the people in the village after returning to the village. If your family wants it now, I'll give it to you directly. .”

The village chief shook his head. Every time something like this happened, he would become very busy, and sometimes it was thankless.

Hongxue thought for a while, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with being near her home, so she nodded in agreement and said, "Let us do that, and you can explain it to me in detail."

The village head nodded, and said in detail, in this piece of land, there are 35 mu of high-quality paddy fields, [-] mu of medium-sized fields, and [-] mu of inferior ones. The total of dry land and mountain land is [-] mu. Good paddy fields are more expensive, but if you buy all these fields, you still need to spend a lot of money.

"The best paddy field is eight taels per mu, the medium one is six taels, and the second-best one is four taels. The price of mountainous land and dry land is the same. The price is two taels per mu. Hongxue girl, can you be the master?" He actually wanted to ask Yes, where did your family get so much money?

In less than a year, how much money can a woman in their family earn with five children.

"Well, I can make the decision." Hongxue nodded and said, "We can't grow these fields ourselves, but we can rent them out, and the size can be regarded as an income."

The village head nodded when he heard this statement, and said, "Then the procedure..." He knew that the other party was familiar with the county master, but there are village rules in the village, and there are some benefits for him when buying land.

But if someone goes past me now and goes to the county government office in person, I can only watch.

How could Hongxue not know what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Of course I have to trouble the village chief, I don't know much about it." Then he took out 350 taels of silver to the village chief and said, "I know to go to the county government to handle it. These must cost money to manage, and if there are any leftovers, I will give you hard-earned money."

"No, how can this work?" The village chief pretended to decline.But in her heart she was happy for Hongxue's sense of humor, she didn't take herself as the village head down just because she knew the county lord, and Lao Jiang's family would regret losing such a good boy in the future.

"You can take it, village chief, otherwise I won't have the face to ask you for help in the future." Hongxue secretly smiled inwardly, but she didn't point it out, giving the village chief enough face.

The village chief looked at Hongxue helplessly and said, "Come on, I'll listen to you." After saying that, he left the house to help Hongxue get things done.

Originally, he was anxious about the land this time, but the village chief did it without much effort, and put those fields under Zhou's name.This is also what Hongxue meant, fearing that Jiang's family would make a fuss about blood relationship and simply hang it under Zhou's name, so that they would have no way to make trouble.

By the time everyone in the village got the news, everything was settled.

Many people didn't say anything, they just thought that Zhou's family was prosperous now, once they bought these fields, they would be a small landlord.

It's just that a few people who want to buy land are not happy. Before they heard the news, the land was bought away. How can such a thing happen?
