I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 599 The most suitable candidate for Li Zheng

A few people stood on the top of the slope, looking at the open space around them. The yamen servant turned to look at Baiyun River.

"How much does it cost to be a lady? Before we came here, we had checked the map. This piece of gravel wasteland has limited production and a cheap price of one hundred cents per acre. But as long as you buy it, you will still pay taxes according to regulations three years later."

Hearing this, Bai Yunxi nodded. These two people were telling the truth, but they were really cheap.

Baiyunxi didn’t bother to worry about the name. He pointed at the **** in front of him and drew a circle.

"I want to buy this piece of sloping land. To be honest, I am not buying this land to open up wasteland, but to raise some poultry. The place will be larger and the activities will be wider."

 Listening to Bai Yunxi’s explanation, the two of them nodded.

“Raising poultry does require a larger space. I understand. Let’s start measuring now.”

As the two of them talked, they took out the measuring aids, a bundle of ropes and a walking bow, and marked the starting position. One person measured with his feet, and the other assisted in recording.

 Yun: A person raises his feet and says he is pushing, and he is pushing three feet. Two moves is called a step, and a step of six feet is also called...

 Measuring the land with feet. I have seen it twice in Baiyun River, and I have long been used to it.

 The two of them measured and recorded one by one, and finally converted together... Bai Yunxi only had a partial understanding of the conversion process, as it was the most primitive conversion method.

I have to say that people in this period were really smart. Although the conversion process was troublesome, it was very accurate.

 I learned this when I bought a **** land last time.

“From the tone of these two people, my cousin is very familiar with them?” As soon as they met, she felt that the relationship between the three of them was unusual.

"It's nothing. After I was straightened out, I ran to the town government office at every turn. I invited them to drink a few times, and I became familiar with them after going back and forth."

Baiyunshan smiled. There is nothing that can be done about it. People say that there are people in the yamen who are easy to do. If you don't take the initiative, who will care about you?

“I see, if nothing else, my uncle was right in choosing you. My cousin is indeed the most suitable person to be the Li Zheng of Willow Bay.”

He is steady in his work, lively in his work, and popular with others, but even though he is upright, he is somewhat unworthy of his talents.

"It's not as good as you said, I was just pushed to the shelf."

If his parents weren't old and couldn't live without people around him, he really wouldn't be willing to take over. Even so, he had to go to the county twice a month.

The two of them were chatting about their daily routine while watching them measure the slope, walk a certain distance, and stop to take notes.

 After measuring in one circle, squat together again and start converting.

Baiyunxi glanced at the sky, told her second son to wait here, said hello to her cousin, then turned and went home, letting Du prepare the meal.

 When she came to the past tense with the sugar water, the two of them exchanged words on the ground.

Looking at them, Baiyunxi poured a glass of water for them and put it on the table. He didn't rush them and just stepped aside to wait for the result.

By the time the two of them had calculated the number of acres, it was already past noon.

 Zhao Guang walked to Baiyunxi with a small notebook of records.

"It has been measured, and there are a total of twenty-two acres and seven quarters of land... No one will buy this kind of wasteland except you. Our brothers have calculated it and given it to you, twenty acres."

Baiyunxi listened and quickly thanked them and invited them home for dinner.

“After working for a long time, neither of us had time to drink. I have asked my daughter-in-law to prepare the meal. Please move on.”

They openly gave her some relief and saved her almost 300 cash. Naturally, I appreciate such kindness.

Hearing Baiyunxi's invitation, the two of them looked up at the sky and cupped their hands at the Baiyunshan brothers and sisters to express their gratitude.
