Chapter 304, articulate

After deciding on the land he wanted to buy, Qin Xiaoliu took the village chief to the county seat. The county official came to measure the area of ​​the land. On the same day, Daohua got the land deed.

  Buy a total of 5,000 mu of land for 5,000 taels of silver.

  Yan Zhiqiang did not buy land. The land here is really not very good. If he wants to buy it, he has to go back and discuss it with his family. It's not as casual as Daohua.

After the land deed was collected, Daohua looked to Qin Xiaoliu: "Brother Xiaoliu, our time is a bit tight. Reclamation of wasteland requires manpower. I think there are more refugees gathered in the county seat. You can hire some day laborers. How many are you? It's just a matter of course, I only have one point, and I want to plant it around mid-March."

  "Those who are serious and careful can be transferred to long-term workers or tenant tenants. I will send someone to tell you the specific rules after I go back and think about it."

  Taohua was silent for a while, and then said, “Again, go to the county town to see if there are any cattle for sale. If so, buy a few more. You don’t have to think about saving money on farm tools and cattle.”

  While speaking, he glanced at Wang Man'er.

  Wang Man'er immediately handed Qin Xiaoliu a piece of silver with a denomination of one thousand taels.

  Qin Xiaoliu carefully put it away: "Girl, do you have any other orders?"

   Daohua began to ponder: "No more for the time being, let's do this for now. I have to go back and plan this piece of land to see where Zhuangzi is better."

  Yan Zhiqiang stood by and listened silently, without any intention to intervene.

  To be honest, he felt that he might be inferior to Daohua in managing Zhuangzi and the fields.

  The villagers in the hands of this girl not only produce more each year, but also fewer people make trouble.

  He is in charge of the farm at home, knowing that it is not easy to do this, many times he is too busy, far less calm than this girl.

  The village chief was also listening, and when he heard that Daohua was about to recruit people, he immediately recommended the people in the village.

   Daohua smiled and said, "As long as I don't be lazy and work hard, I will come here as much as I want."

   After talking for a while, Yan Zhiqiang saw that it was getting late, so he boarded the ship with Daohua.

  Qin Xiaoliu stayed with the two young men, looking at Daohua and his party leaving.

  Waiting for the boat to set off for a certain distance, the village chief asked Qin Xiaoliu: "Little brother, which house are you from? It's a big hand ratio. You can just buy these thousands of acres."

  The head of the village also has a bit of foresight. When he ran the land lease, he noticed that the officials in the county government were extraordinarily polite to these people.

  Qin Xiaoliu thought of staying in Taohua Village often in the future and having to deal with the village chief, so he smiled and said, "We belong to Master Yan, the prefect of Ningmen Prefecture."

   Upon hearing this, the village chief's eyes widened fiercely, and he stammered in shock: "The prefect?"

  Qin Xiaoliu nodded, did not say more, just said: "The village chief, before the establishment of Zhuangzi, we may have to stay overnight in the village, but I don’t know if it is convenient?"

  The village chief nodded again and again: "It's convenient and convenient. I'll talk to the people in the village when I turn back."

  Qin Xiaoliu clasped his fists and thanked him: "Thank you very much, then." As he said, he took out a couple of silver from his purse and handed it to the village chief.

  The village chief didn't want it, but he didn't twist Qin Xiaoliu.

  Qin Xiaoliu smiled and said, "We are going to the county town to see the situation. When we come back, I am afraid it will be too late. We have to trouble the village chief to eat for us."

  The village chief immediately said: "I must be ready."

  Qin Xiaoliu glanced at the boat again and saw that he had already driven a long way, and then he took the two young men towards the county seat.

  On the other side, Daohua stood on the deck watching the scenery. When she was about to turn around and go back to the cabin to eat something, she suddenly saw a familiar figure appearing on the shore.

   "Weird monk!"

   Daohua immediately stretched out her hand and waved to the people on the shore, and yelled several times. Unfortunately, the boat was a little far away from the shore, and Gu Jian did not hear it.

  Looking at Gu Jian's figure getting further and further away, Daohua didn't continue to shout, but just watched silently.

  Finally, I saw Gu Jian turning a corner and heading directly to Taohua Mountain.

  Taohua immediately turned to face Yan Zhiqiang in the cabin and asked: "Uncle San, did the village chief just say who bought Taohuashan?"

  Yan Zhiqiang stepped out: "It seems to be two lonely old people, saying they are a pair of siblings."

   Daohua breathed a sigh of relief, confirming that the master of Peach Blossom Mountain should be the old woman and the strange monk.

   Yan Zhiqiang looked at Daohua: "Why, do you know them?"

   Daohua nodded: "Not only I know, but my grandmother also knows. Back then, I asked the strange monk for medicine."

   Yan Zhiqiang also remembered this, and suddenly smiled: "Then our family has a good relationship with them."

   Daohua also smiled: "Yes, last time I was in Jiguang, I also met the old mother-in-law and the strange monk. I don’t know, is the old mother-in-law cured?"

  Yan Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Anyway, you are going to build a Zhuangzi here. When you come next time, you can visit it on the mountain."

  Inahua immediately said: "I think so too."

  In the evening, Daohua and Yan Zhiqiang returned to Yan's Mansion, just in time for dinner.

  At the dinner table, Mrs. Yan asked, "Is the ground optimistic?"

   Daohua nodded: "Okay, I bought five thousand acres of land in Shahe County, and I have obtained the title deeds. Grandma, I will show it to you after dinner."

  As soon as the words came out, the dining table was silent, and everyone looked at Daohua.

   Elders: Good guys, so rich, you can buy thousands of acres of land once you sell it. This ability to spend money is even more powerful than them.

  Juniors: I feel dwarfed, what should I do? The eldest sister (big sister) has already saved so much money on her own, but when they came, they were still calculating whether the monthly allowance was enough to spend.

   Daohua was puzzled: "What's the matter, why are you looking at me like this?"

  Mrs. Li coughed, “Isn’t it said that the land in Shahe County is not good? How can I buy so much?”

   Daohua explained: "Mother, I used to grow yam in that place, which is just right."

   Yan Zhi Gao's eyes moved, and he looked over: "How do you know that the place is suitable for growing yam?"

   Daohua casually said: "I tried it, father, don’t look at it as sandy soil. As long as you plant the right crops, the yield is still high. By the way, peanuts and watermelons can also be grown on sandy soil.”

Yan Zhiyuan looked at Mrs. Yan, then looked at Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li, and asked with a smile, "Five thousand acres of land, this is a huge amount, rice flower, it’s not the second uncle who talks too much. You should do this. I discussed it with my family."

   Daohua smiled faintly: "Second Uncle, I know that you care about me, and I am afraid that I will spend money indiscriminately. But I think, this money, isn't it for spending money?"

  "It’s rare that I have taken a fancy to that piece of land. If I can buy it, I naturally want to buy it. Even if I buy it to accompany it, the money is my own, and it won’t interfere with the family's affairs. I can just take it on my own."

  The smile on Yan Zhiyuan’s face was a bit reluctant.

  Okay, this girl is getting more and more eloquent. She used to be straightforward, but now she is a little older, she is starting to turn around and sarcastically.

  Mrs. Li stared at Daohua.

  Daohua curled her lips. This second uncle just likes to be nosy. Why does she spend her money to discuss with others?

  However, I didn’t continue this topic anymore, but looked at Yan Zhigao with a smile: "Father, my daughter bought the land, I also want to share it for you."

  At this time, everyone was surprised, and they all looked at Daohua, even Yan Zhigao was curious.

Daohua straightened her face, straightened her waist and said, "One, I bought a few thousand acres of land, do I need to hire people? I have already asked Xiaoliu to recruit refugees to work, maybe the number will not be too much, but It can be considered a force."

  "Second, Shahe County is poor because of its low grain output. If the yield of yam I planted is not bad, my father can promote yam in Shahe County."

   "In this way, the people can eat and wear, and the population can be retained."

  "As for the sales of yam, I have also thought about it. Ningmen Mansion is located at the junction of the three provinces of Zhongzhou, Jiguang, and Fenxi. The geographical position is unique. The water and dry roads are very convenient and there is no problem in selling it."

  Yan Zhigao was heart-warming, if it were to be like the eldest daughter said, the refugees stranded in Ningmen Mansion could have a solution, but the premise is that the yield of yam should be high, and it is necessary to grow well.

  As for the sales problem, he is not worried.

  Large families like to use yam for food, but many times they can’t buy it.

  Yan Zhigao thought for a while, and looked towards Yan Zhiyuan: “Let’s buy 5,000 mu of sandy soil for our family, and use some to grow yam, and the rest, grow watermelons and peanuts.”

  Yan Zhiyuan nodded.

  Yan Yile said with a smile at this time: "Big sister, you can be regarded as the richest person among our brothers and sisters. If we can't make money in the future, you can get help."

Daohua immediately smiled and said, "No problem. When I was shopping in Fucheng last time, Yuan Yao took me to a pawnshop. I think the rules of the pawnshop are pretty good. People, everyone will have a difficult time. At that time, you only need to leave things of equal value to me for safekeeping."

   "Don't worry, I definitely won't charge you interest."

   Yan Yile's face stiffened: "Big sister, you are too stingy, are you a family, do you still need this?"

   Daohua smiled contemptuously: "Sister Si, I think your jade bracelet is pretty good-looking, or, can you give it to me?"

  Yan Yile said unwillingly: "This is my favorite jade bracelet."

   Daohua immediately took the words: "Sister Si, you are too stingy, isn't it just an emerald bracelet? A family, what's wrong with giving me an emerald bracelet?"

   Yan Yile turned red, staring at Daohua and stopped talking.

   Daohua sneered, and continued to eat on her own, regardless of other people looking at her in shock.

  She is rich, but her money is not brought by the wind. I borrowed this one today and another one tomorrow. She worked so hard to make money. Is it to support others?

  She doesn’t let it go!

   Seeing that her daughter was blocked to speak, Sun’s skin smiled and said without a smile: “We Daohua’s mouth is really getting better and better.”

   Daohua directly smiled back: "Thank you for the compliment, my second aunt, I will continue to work harder in the future."
