Chapter 80: Want to use silver to buy a deserted mountain

It was almost noon, the clouds had not dissipated, and the wind was still howling.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan finally had enough sleep. When the sky was cloudy, they wanted to sleep and get up to eat something. The two rode on the small cart made by the carpenter and walked outside to see how it was going on the farm. They sat in front and back. The cart was full of wood, without chains, and both wheels had to be pedaled.

The person sitting in front is responsible for controlling the direction, while the person behind is more tired and needs to keep pedaling in synchronization with the person in front. Two wood is also laid out at the back of the car, with two small wheels on it to maintain balance. The chariot is three inches wide and five inches in diameter, so it will not fall even if it stands there.

"Xiaobao, see if it can rain heavily. If it falls, it's time to let the water go." Wang Juan asked while grasping the direction.

"How can I know? I'll talk about it later. I'm not in a hurry to put it in. If it's not put it, how can I keep it in the past few months? Millet, wheat, rice, and sorghum must be used, and vegetable fields must not be missing, trees cannot be dried, and there is also water for daily use."

Zhang Xiaobao looked at Wang Juan's feet with his light and moved in sync. The car slowly walked forward, not as fast as the two of them. It was mainly to prevent people from serving him. When he went out, he was afraid of falling at home, so he didn't worry about riding the car, and he couldn't even fall even if he wanted to.

Zhang Xiaobao replied to Wang Juan's words, but he was thinking whether he would give more than 1,500 taels of silver in the county. He could take out the money and still had a lot of surplus. He earned the beans he had cooked and made into soy sauce to sell them, and he could also earn a lot of money. 55,000 stones, and he could earn two cents every five kilograms.

At this price, you can earn nearly 32 cents in one stone. If you sell all of these, you can earn 1,740 taels of silver, mainly because soybeans are not spent on money. As for whether they can be sold and where they can be sold, it is Zhou Xihu's business. If he wants to make money, he has to sell it.

Logically speaking, I should have given this money, but I didn’t lose money. If I really say I’m going to pay it, I’m going to use black fungus to exchange soybeans from other places, and I lost some money.

"What are you thinking? I haven't spoken for a long time." Wang Juan kicked and found that Zhang Xiaobao was silent, turned his head and looked at him, and asked.

"Didn't Magistrate Cheng say that no matter we want money, I'm thinking about whether to give it or not."

"If I were asked to say, then I wouldn't give it. Why should I give him so much money? Our family's money was not blown by the strong wind, so how much has it helped him? Is it still better to be more difficult for him? Otherwise, it would be better for him to give him less. This is considered an investment. Aren't the Western countries doing so much?"

Wang Juan must not be a child, and she still understands some things. At first, she said she would not give it to her, but later she compromised.

"Well, then give it to him, but you must not give it to him directly. I want to change something. Song Jinggong said that the soil on the south bank of Xiao Luo Shuihe is relatively good, and there are some stone mountains on the north bank. There are few trees on the mountain and it is not suitable for cultivation. Change that place.

One thousand five hundred taels of silver, just buy such a mountain, no one will be unwilling to do it. It is also a waste. Let’s buy it, can’t County Magistrate Cheng use this money?"

Zhang Xiaobao calculated and gave such an answer.

Wang Juan stopped and looked back at Zhang Xiaobao, "Didn't that place meant that there were more than 1,000 acres? You just want to buy it for 1,500 taels of silver?"

"More than 1,800 acres are just one square kilometer. The broken place is Shitou Mountain. One tael of silver is a lot. If you add some more, you can buy one acre of land. He would just go there secretly. It's up to the point where there is no output, and you don't have to pay taxes. Otherwise, who will buy it?"

Zhang Xiaobao said it was justified. If Wang Juan hadn’t known who he was, he would have been moved by his righteousness. In fact, the more Wang Juan heard Zhang Xiaobao say this, the more he felt that there was something wrong with it, and it was not directly exposed.

"Oh, so that's the case. I'll pay taxes, right? Don't pay taxes. Last year, five families in my village had no silk production, and they actually paid an extra 70 taels of silver. My family put it on. What's the matter? I see that they also paid it this year.

It’s better to change it. If you can hand over what you can from your house and go to my house, your family has a hundred fiefs, so you will be exempted directly. Those seven families have a bad life. If you can, please help me.”

"Will you settle the accounts? If you exchange my family members, then I have to pay the people too? It's just that the losses have been transferred. You are harming others and self-interested. The fundamental problem has not been solved at all. Well, I'll leave this matter to me. I'll let them raise more chickens this year, and then use eggs and chicken to support them, and why do you want to stay on the little land you can't grow?"

Zhang Xiaobao knew that the seven families had patients at home, and they had no benefits for them last year, and they spent a lot of money on taking medicine. By the end of the year, they did not pay any silk and had paid more than 14 taels of silver to adjust money. If you have benefits this year, you can find some relaxing work for them to do and use this money to pay.

"Okay, then now, you really want to buy that place to lose money?"

Wang Juan let go of one thing, and the seven families would have a good time in the future, otherwise the 14 taels of silver could be dragged down. Although it was a quotation, it would have to be paid back. No matter how good the owner was, it would be impossible for the owner to pay the money for the merchant. Whoever should pay the rent would have to be paid.

She and Zhang Xiaobao can find ways to make money, but they can't make money directly. The extra money is special. By the end of this year, all families have to pay more. Even if it is various insurances and funds, Zhang Xiaobao will be able to operate the money or things.

Then she earns more money, in addition to medical care and various housing funds, she will receive benefits for the extra money, improve the road conditions of the village, etc., so she doesn't have to worry about this, so she turned to the place to buy.

"It's better than taking out money for nothing. If you can change something, change it. At that time, the village will build a house. There will be stones there. No matter how you say it, you must support the magistrate Cheng." Zhang Xiaobao looked helpless.

Wang Juan suddenly laughed, "Why are you fooling a fool? Forget it, I won't ask you anymore. I don't believe you will buy it and do nothing. Just wait for the stones to be dug and transported back to build a house. Let's go and see our little girl. I decided to set up a team to protect various little girl. I have already thought of the name and called the 'Training Medieval Protection Team'."

The two were riding their bikes forward, and Butler Wang hurried over from there.

"My little lady, young master, the Gejiazhuangzi has really suffered a lot. I told Ge Yingxi that I can help them replenish some seedlings. He wants to take out three times the seeds of grain. Do you think it's OK? If it doesn't work, you can raise the price again."

Butler Wang asked Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, saying that this was agreed at the beginning. If the Ge family villager is in trouble, you can help according to the situation, otherwise he would not dare to take the initiative.

"Okay, why can't it be? It's three times, and it doesn't take much effort to ask him how many seedlings he wants. Tell him that the grain must be used as seeds, otherwise the price will double. If he gets three times the ordinary grain, we will still pay.

Xiaobao, I have decided that starting next year, we will sell rice seedlings, which can be used to promote this year's yield. I will find a few smart people to think about hybrid rice. Do you know this?"

Wang Juan settled the matter.

"No, I don't learn the kind of elementary school that can only support hundreds of millions of people." Zhang Xiaobao shook his head disdainfully.

"I finally realized that your skin is too thick. Let's study the big picture, physics, now you pedal yourself, I'll give you the direction to see how much force you need to get to the nearest paddy field within ten minutes."

In Sanshui County, the magistrate Cheng accompanied all the people from above, and first of all, he had to entertain their food and drink. There were dozens of people in the group, only a few of them were really doing things, and the rest were all followed by taking advantage of them.

Logically speaking, County Magistrate Cheng not only had to treat these people well, but also gave him some money to serve as a road fund. However, he didn't get much money and didn't collect much. He would have to give others a gift of hundreds of taels. There were so many people, tens of thousands of taels of silver, so he could get some money. Therefore, the travel expenses were gone.

Those people wanted to travel and get some benefits, but when they saw that the county magistrate was ignorant of politeness, they never gave him a good look. From time to time, people even picked some faults, such as the streets were too chaotic, and of course, if they paid, they would say that this was prosperous.

County Magistrate Cheng knew this well and did not make any excuses. He let them say that it was cloudy this year, and County Magistrate Cheng was quite happy and hoped that the next rain could alleviate the disaster. As a result, some people said it was cold.

In a fit of anger, the county magistrate came to the county magistrate and gave a few instructions. The county magistrate glanced at the people and turned around and left.

Waiting for the people to leave, County Magistrate Cheng started handling the case, but there were actually no cases. Since Zhou Xihu did not cause trouble, County Magistrate Cheng severely dealt with the idle helpers. The county has become much more stable, but it is just that the laying hens from some house suddenly disappeared, the cow is sick, etc.

For the people above, such small things are not to be cared about, but for those people, the losses are huge. If the chicken is lost, there will be no eggs. The family may expect the eggs to be alive. Even if the chicken is sold, it can be exchanged for some food, rice, oil and salt.

"Chen Dong, go to Li Liu's family to see, why doesn't his pigs eat?" After throwing a sign from the case, County Magistrate Cheng ordered the yamen runner who often goes to Zhangjiazhuang.

"Yes, I'll go see it now." Chen Dong had long been accustomed to such messy things. He took the sign and left in a hurry, not daring to neglect it. If the pig starved to death, the Li Liu family would have to lose a few taels of silver.

"Song Yang, go to Shahe Village to see why there is one duck from Wang Wu's family missing? Find out whether it was dragged away by things in the river or stolen by someone."

County Magistrate Cheng handled one by one, and the people who came to look for were waiting eagerly, hoping that the county Magistrate could help them solve these important matters.

The morning passed under this situation, and the county magistrate rushed back and told the county magistrate Cheng that everything was arranged. Then the county magistrate Cheng left the lobby where the case was asked and turned around to invite those people to dinner.
