Chapter 217 Buying Land ([-])

Busy with making winter clothes, wadding quilts, soaking sauerkraut, adding miso, drying vegetables, scrubbing old household utensils, unpacking and washing old cotton-padded quilts, the Xia family was so busy from morning till night that it could almost be said that they hit the back of their heads with their feet.

Xia Xuejiao led a group of people to do embroidery work in the house, and she was very busy with handkerchiefs, purses, fan covers, and small embroidery screens.

Xia Daohua and the others also make spicy cabbage and sour radish.

Carrying and lifting, washing and rinsing, spreading the ingredients in proportion, and stirring desperately until all the vegetables are mixed well, can I take a break, and I am so tired that I am sweating.

Living in the same compound, the landlord's family, Hu's family, and Zhao's family, seeing the Xia family in full swing, couldn't help but feel their hearts flutter.So several families followed suit and got busy with their own affairs.

Although the land has not yet been settled, the preparations for this year's winter have been fully prepared.

The partners looked at Xiaoliu for a month, but they still couldn't find the land they wanted. Mr. Xia and Mrs. Zhou were anxious, so they couldn't help but secretly stuffed a handful of copper coins into Yaren, begging him to think more about his own affairs. Appropriate place, remember to leave a stay for the family.

The dental man got extra benefits and began to work extra hard.

Finally, when the first snow fell, they found a medium fertile farmland for the Xia family.

The land is not big, and it is full of land, including all corners and corners. It is only about 26 mu. It is located in the suburb closest to Jixiang County: Fengwei Village.

There are beauties in this Fengwei village, and there was a late emperor's empress back then.

Of course, Fang Hua passed away after a few years of not being favored because of his humble background and status, but the common people don't care about these.

They can also enjoy talking about a concubine who came out hundreds of years ago.

What's more, it was only a few decades ago that this one was so successful.

After Empress became Empress, Empress's family moved out of Fengwei Village, moved into the capital, and lived in the house that Empress bought in Beijing.

But the reputation of Fengwei Village as a beauty has been spread.

People in the village don't discriminate against girls as much as other places, but they cherish both boys and girls equally.

When girls in this village reach the age of thirteen or fourteen, that big family will come here to see them.If you meet someone with such a handsome appearance and temperament, who is very outstanding, you will solemnly accept her as a concubine, or even marry her into the door.

And the villagers will also move away.

Those who are reluctant to part with their homeland will move to live in Jixiang County;
Those who are reluctant to part with their daughter will move to live in the city where the daughter's husband's family is located.

Because of such a tradition left by the empress who was loved by the first emperor, there is land for sale in this village.

After the Xia family went to see it, they thought it was a rare opportunity, so Mr. Xia and Mrs. Zhou nodded without hesitation and bought the land.

It's just that the price here is not cheap.

According to the market conditions in Beiguan Village, an acre of good land is only worth four or five taels of silver.

But in Fengwei Village, the asking price for this mu of land was ten taels of silver.It is obviously only a middle-grade field, but the price of the top-grade field is actually coming out!
The Xia family was a little reluctant when they heard it.

But the Yaren told them quietly that although the price was a bit high, it was only a little higher than the market price, and if the price could be reduced to [-] taels of silver, it would be the end of the bargain.

Because land of this quality can be sold for 12 taels of silver per mu in late summer and early autumn.

The family was in a rush to move, so they were in a hurry, so they didn't call 12 taels.

The Xia family frowned and settled their accounts. If calculated on the basis of ten taels of silver, the 26 mu of land would cost 260 taels.Not counting the commission to Yaren, and the taxes and fees paid when going to the government to apply for the deed.

If you can get eight taels of silver, then it will be two hundred and eighty taels...

It's just that although the family was eager to sell, the Xia family was also somewhat anxious to buy. They went back and forth to land, and finally only got the price of nine taels of silver per mu of land. The Xia family.

Even the land and the house cost 230 taels of silver, and the red deed, taxes and fees, and commissions and thanks to the toothmen cost four taels of silver.

After taking out the money, the money bags of the old couple are about to bottom out.

The old couple was both excited and heartbroken, with mixed emotions.

With 26 mu of land, even if it is only a moderately fertile land, each mu of land can only produce [-] catties of grain, and the rations of Lao Xia's family are almost out.

When the old couple was thinking about this matter, they seemed to have completely forgotten that the Xia family had already separated, and they still considered the whole family together.

However, it is not enough to simply count on the harvest of this land.

Because the grain itself has to pay taxes and donations, corvee taxes, everything has to come from this field.

So even though the Xia family bought the land, it was just that Mr. Xia took his four sons to visit twice, and left all the affairs of the land to Xia Yougui, which did not delay them from continuing to look around. the passion of the land.

Neither Mr. Xia nor Mrs. Zhou knew that their sons, except for Xia Youtian, were all eyeing this land.

This area is the closest to Jixiang County.Even if you don't grow it yourself, you rent it out to others to grow it. If you want to go to the field to have a look, it must be convenient for you to be nearby.

If the old couple were willing to give this piece of land to themselves, it would be so beautiful!
For a while, starting from Xia Yougui and Sun's, the sons and daughters-in-law seemed to be suddenly and inexplicably filial.

At the same time, Xia Youtian and Jiang's also had their eyes on a piece of land, but the location was much farther than Fengwei Village.Fengwei Village is less than fifty miles away from the city wall of Jixiang County.

The piece of land that the four-bedroom couple had their eyes on was located in Huangtao Village.

There are many wild yellow peach trees growing on the local hillsides. Although you can’t see peaches now, you can see a large area of ​​peach trees. Thinking about the scene of blooming in spring and fruiting in summer and autumn, people can’t help but be fascinated.

It's a pity that Huangtao Village is quite far away from Jixiang County, about a hundred miles away.

The four-bedroom couple liked that place mainly because it looked like Beiguan Village.Surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water on one side, there are not many people in the village, and the traffic is not very convenient, but the road is not difficult to walk.

The four-bedroom couple liked the land very much when they saw it, but they also had some conflicts.

They always felt that they should inform the old couple, but the old couple had just bought the land in Fengwei Village, if the old couple also took a fancy to this land, they might not have enough money to make up for it .

Moreover, if you tell the old couple, maybe the old couple will bring the Hu family and the Zhao family to buy it together. For some reason, Xia Youtian instinctively doesn't want to go with those two families.

This piece of land has a full 12 mu, and it is also a medium-sized field. It is relatively close to the water source. The seller just called for [-] taels of silver per mu.
