"Mr. Fuhu, a rare guest, a rare guest!" County Magistrate Xia from the county government came out with a smile. This was his sixth day of office. Thanks to his previous decision-making, he quickly straightened out everything in the county government.

Just now, a yamen runner informed that Cao Yan was coming, and the Xia Lord Bo, the current county magistrate, quickly came out.

The previous county magistrate won an excellent position in the examination and was promoted to become a Tongzhi in another place.

The vacant location fell on his head after some operation of Xiahou Mansion.

He didn't dare to put on any airs in front of Cao Yan. Now Xiahou Mansion treats Cao Yan as his benefactor. Due to the achievements of capturing the thief's head this time, the reward he received was to allow his title to be retained at the same level for two generations to decrease.

This is simply great news. Mr. Xia specially held a huge family sacrifice to comfort his ancestors, and held several banquets for this. As the confidant of the Xia family, why don’t you know the key inside?

"Xia Ming Mansion, be polite." Cao Yan clasped his fists with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Fuhu, don't be so polite. I've prepared the things for you. Come in with me to see if there is anything to add." He had known the purpose of Cao Yanci's visit for a long time.

"Xia Mingfu is intent, I really trouble you. After the matter is over, I will donate 3,000 guan to repair the county government."

"Mr. Fuhu, I'm still so kind, please follow me." County Magistrate Xia made an invitation gesture and invited Cao Yan.

...

The two walked through the front hall and came to the living room. There was already a master waiting here with his things.

The magistrate Xia took the land deed and map handed over by the master, pointed to Cao Yan and said, "This area is a land that is completely unparalleled, just around the corner of the land purchased by Mr. He has about 20,000 acres. Does Mr. He see enough? If not enough, then Mr. He will draw on this map himself, as long as there is no one, it is a place in Dongcheng County."

Cao Yan secretly spitted out his old complaint. This ancient times was really exciting. He would draw a map by himself if he had any disagreement.

The mountain next to Cao Yan's house is a good place. He has been searching for it in search engines for a long time, which is Qixia Mountain in Cao Yan's world.

Qixia Mountain is a good place. Its value has not been developed now, so of course it is not a tourist destination.

Later generations had a very powerful name - the largest non-ferrous metal mining area in East China.

There are all manganese, lead, zinc, sulfur, silver, gold and copper, and the content is not low.

When Cao Yan heard the words of County Magistrate Xia, he did not be polite to him and directly painted the entire area.

"Sir, this place is not small, some of it are all mountain wastelands, and it has no value."

It's worthless? Cao Yan smiled disdainfully in his heart. The mining of the mines here will scare you to death. Of course, Cao Yan said on the surface and said, "It's okay, I'm going to plant some fruit trees and raise some livestock. Why are you doing too many things that are hard to buy?" Now Cao Yan is not worried about whether he is valuable, but about whether he can buy it.

"If it's someone else, it will definitely be a bit difficult, but since the teacher has spoken, there will definitely be no problem. The teacher must be so wide, right?" County Magistrate Xia said, patting his chest. It seems that Cao Yan is planning to be bigger.

"Just want so much first, it's too big, I don't know what I can do."

"Okay, what if the gentleman feels that it's not enough to come to me in the future."

"Then thank you Xia Ming Mansion first. I don't know the price?" Cao Yan asked.

"What do you think about 300 acres per acre? There are about 40,000 acres in total, even 40,000 acres will be better."

Cao Yan was frightened by this price. It was not expensive, but it was too cheap. With only 12,000 guan, there were 40,000 acres of mountain land. Although the mountain could not grow grain, the only thing that could not be planted was grain. There were more things that could be planted on the mountain.

And there are good things buried underground!

Seeing Cao Yan for a long time, County Magistrate Xia spoke again, "Is it expensive? After all, there is no output in the mountains, so what do you think about it?"

"..." This number is unlucky! Cao Yan quickly waved his hand to stop him, "Just three hundred ci, so that others would not gossip." Cao Yan also knew that there were a lot of enemies staring at him now, and he didn't want to show such obvious pain to others to catch him. The price of the three hundred ci, the price of the mountain is not high or low, it is considered medium, so that no one can talk about it.

"I'm still thinking attentively. I wonder if there is anything else for you?" Seeing that the matter was settled, County Magistrate Xia asked again.

"Well, I want to adopt a group of people and ask the county government for help." I must buy the forest, breed, plant trees, and develop them. There are still too few people in Linjiazhai, only six or seven hundred people.

At this time, the number of people who sell people needs to sign documents such as sales contracts through the dental shop. This matter needs to be handled by the government. There are many prisoners sent by the government every year, orphans treated, etc.

"Oh, this... I'm afraid there is no light and strong labor for sale. You also know that it's the busy farming season recently. Many light and strong are basically bought as soon as they are listed, and many of them have greeted them. As long as they have it, they will be left to them." County Magistrate Xia was a little embarrassed about this.

"It's okay! I only have children, both men and women."

"As long as children? Men and women are fine?" County Magistrate Xia was a little curious. He first repeated Cao Yan's words, and then looked at Cao Yan, probably to be sure whether he had heard this wrongly.

Cao Yan nodded, "Yeah!"

"Oh! In this case, there are still many children, especially girls." County Magistrate Xia continued to follow Cao Yan's words.

"Okay, how many are there? If there are few, I'll want them all."

"There are more than one or two thousand! Isn't it a bit too much..."

Before the Xia County Magistrate finished speaking, Cao Yan here spoke: "Not much, I still think there are fewer ones? I want all of them. If there are any more in the future, please inform Mingfu and I will continue to adopt them."

"Sir, don't be polite, but these children are still young, can't do work, and eat a lot. Moreover, the girls basically lose money. Even if the teacher is preparing to train, they have to look at them and pick some smart and intelligent people, right? Isn't it a bit inappropriate to ask them all?" County Magistrate Xia kindly reminded.

Cao Yan wanted to complain a little. He knew the potential meaning of County Magistrate Xia. He thought Cao Yan was planning to buy some children to train them to do some harmonious professions, so he made a special plan for him.

But Cao Yan really wants to buy some children to go back and train them well. This training is different from what the magistrate Xia said. He wants to train these people to become his helpers. Otherwise, even if he is exhausted, he will not be able to do everything.

He ignored the words of County Magistrate Xia and asked directly: "How much does it cost?"

Seeing that Cao Yan did not, he responded to his proposal and asked directly about the price. County Magistrate Xia did not stop him and just released it with kindness. "The price of young and strong is more than twenty cents, and for the child, even if the teacher is two cents," he deserves to be promoted from the lord's lord. He is clear about these things, and he knows all the prices clearly...

"Okay, then I'll trouble Ming Mansion." Cao Yan said thanking.
