Chapter 103 Buying Land (4)

A Jian was startled and smiled: "No matter what the result is, let's face it together!"

Lian Ze glanced at A Jian gratefully and said, "Brother A Jian said yes! However, I still believe my sister!"

All three laughed.

A little tired from walking for a while, the three picked up a shady place and sat down and waited slowly.

When the sun was shining overhead, Liu Jia came with people. Two officers, one in charge of the county's money and grain taxation, Master Zhao Shiye.

Lian Ze saw it first, and the three of them stood up to meet him.

"Miss Lian!" Liu Jia beckoned to them and ran over, smiled at Lian Fangzhou: "Miss good luck, today is catching up with the county magistrate in a good mood, the price is also very happy! Each acre is a total of one or two or seven dollars. , a total of 1,700 taels, if the money is delivered today, the official deed will not need to give any more money!"

Lian Fangzhou was very happy when he heard it, and nodded and smiled: "Okay, let's get this done today!"

The official deed is only two taels of silver, and the county magistrate is selling favors to them. After all, these two taels of silver are not worth mentioning at all compared to one thousand seven hundred taels!

This kind of favor is a kind of good intentions, and if you want to refuse, it will be a bit bad.

Liu Jia led them to meet Master Zhao and the two officers, and the two officers exchanged a few words, and the two officers took out the compass ruler and waited to measure. Master Qianliang memorized the boundaries of the four sides, and then let Lian Fangzhou read it, drew the deposit, and then went back to the official deed and did it according to this.

After doing these things well, it was already halfway through the application time. Lian Fangzhou said with a smile that he had worked hard, and each gave a red envelope. Even Fangzhou had prepared such a red envelope in advance, and he also carried it on his body. There are one taels, two taels, and three or five coins.

Two taels were given to Master Zhao, and five coins were given to the two servants.

After Master Zhao and the three squeezed the red envelope, the smile on his face deepened, and his speech became much more approachable and polite.

The group went back to the county seat. Master Zhao and the two officers had a carriage, and the three of Lian Fangzhou were still riding in Liu Jia's donkey carriage.

Liu Jia took the time to tell Lian Fangzhou that the land was actually 1,360 mu, and Lian Fangzhou was naturally grateful, and he had to buy some gifts for Liu Jia afterwards.

"I've been running around the Sanchakou for the past few days, and I guess it will take three to five days to get it done! I'll contact Miss Lian later!" Liu Jia laughed.

Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "Okay, there are people in our family. If I'm not here, leave a message and I'll go to the city then!"

"By the way," Lian Fangzhou said another thing, and smiled: "I bought these lands, I want to take advantage of the slack farming now to invite people to reclaim the land, I don't know where I can find diligent people who are willing to work. People? If Uncle Liu knows, please give pointers!"

Liu Jia laughed and said, "I don't dare to give advice! I'll take you to meet Zhao Liu when I have time. He is well-versed in these things! He is the middleman who hires part-time workers in our city."

Lian Fangzhou originally meant the same thing, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly smiled and thanked him.

Not long after arriving at the county seat, Lian Fangzhou, Ajian and Lian Ze went to pay the money together, took the voucher, and only waited three days to receive the official deed with the voucher, and the matter was over.

Liu Jia really took them to meet Zhao Liu, and of course he helped to say some good things.

Zhao Liu smiled and said: "Nowadays, many people are idle, don't worry! Brother Liu has spoken, I will definitely handle this matter for you! I will definitely choose the young, strong and willing to work! Look at how many people you need, and then I will directly lead you to the ground."

Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "It's hard to say this for a while. We have to go to the city tomorrow. I'll give you a letter when the time comes!" Then he asked about the wages.

Zhao Liu had no objection, agreed with a smile, and added: "It's the slack season now, the weather is good, and the work is easy to do, the lunch is 20 cents per worker a day, no matter if the lunch is 23 cents. Liu The big brother has explained it to me, you are doing wasteland reclamation work, and it is quite heavy, so the price is not cheap! If it is summer, the price will have to be increased by half!"

He said and added: "Whatever the price, you can rest assured at this price, keep the work for you and do it beautifully! Those tree pockets, grass roots and tree root pipes have been planed cleanly and dug out. Go down at least a foot deep!"

Lian Fangzhou was about to ask this. She was not afraid of having enough funds to spend a little more, but she was afraid that she would be tricked by cheating and cheating.

The work of reclaiming wasteland is not easy to do in the first place. If those tree roots and grass roots are not cleaned up, they will surely be revived in the beginning of spring. Also, the land is already compact, and if you don't dig a little deeper, the things you plant won't grow well at all.

Hearing Zhao Liu say this, Lian Fangzhou knew something in his heart, smiled and nodded, and said he would talk more about it tomorrow.

When they came out of Zhao Liu, the sun was gradually turning west, and Liu Jia said that he would send them back.

People have been tiring for a day before and after running. Although it is not for nothing, it is generally more stressful. Lian Fangzhou declined with a smile.

Liu Jia insisted on seeing them a few times and refused to let it go.

After seeing Liu Jia off, Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "We've been tired for the past two days. I'm afraid we'll be busy in the days ahead! Let's go and buy some meat to go back and make up for it."

Lian Ze and Ah Jian both said yes with a smile.

Lian Fangzhou bought four catties of pork belly, two pork legs, plus three or four large bones, some tofu and dried five spice seeds, and then hired a car to go home.

"Sister, are we going to talk about how many people we want to hire tomorrow?" Lian Ze asked, feeling that it would be too expensive to have to go to the city for this matter.

Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "I'm afraid it will take a while to explain this matter tomorrow! Then let's go to the blacksmith's shop to order some farm tools! We'll have to use them by then! By the way, let's take a look at the donkeys and donkey carts. "

Lian Ze said "oh" to understand.

Back at home, every household was smoking, and Lian Fangzhou gave a few more money. The driver smiled and thanked him and hurriedly turned around and went back to the city. Lian Fangqing and Lian Che threw up laughing and called their elder brother and sister, and of course Ajian.

Grandma San was surprised when she saw that she had bought so much meat: "Oh, why did you buy so much! How long do you have to eat this?"

Lian Fangzhou smiled and said: "Tonight, let's make a small fried pork belly and tofu with fried pork slices. Tomorrow you will stew the pig's trotters earlier, and pull two radishes from the vegetable garden together! There is a lot of work these days, and you have to eat enough to be strong. what!"

If the soup is clear every day and there is little water, not to mention others, Lian Fangzhou can't stand it himself.

The third grandmother said that, but she was actually happy in her heart, and said with a smile: "Yes, I know how to clean up! You can rest in the house! Qing'er, Che'er, you two will help me make a fire!"

Lian Che honestly agreed, "I'm going!" and went into the kitchen.
