Lay to win!Cannon fodder, he has become the chief assistant

When Yaren saw that the customer was dissatisfied, his heart sank.

It's been a long time, and no one has been willing to come and have a look. It's hard to look forward to such a person, but obviously they don't like this place!

"Master, take a look again. Although this mountain looks a bit desolate, you don't need to pay taxes to buy this kind of place. Don't think that you bought a field of 920 or [-] mu for [-] taels, but the land in this mountain There is a lot of output, and it is also a good place to go hunting with your family in autumn."

Xie Xiuwen didn't say a word, what good things can there be with this broken mountain?

He just scanned roughly, and the trees on this mountain are basically common in the north, and there are no particularly rare and precious species. Even if he sees a few fruit trees occasionally, they are just ordinary pears and peaches, nothing unusual.

Xie Xiuwen was thinking about saying no, when he felt his sleeves sinking, it was Xie Rongzhao who was tugging.

"Baby, what's the matter?"

Xie Xiuwen directly picked her up, and then moved two steps to the side.

Xie Rongzhao didn't know why, he just felt that there were good things on this mountain.

"Father, buy it."

Xie Xiuwen raised his eyebrows: "Are you serious?"

"Yeah, Dad, let's buy it, I just saw a rabbit, maybe there is a rabbit nest."

After saying that, Xie Rongzhao leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Father, when I buy it, I will take you to find something good."

Xie Xiuwen had dug with her in the mountains of his hometown, so he naturally knew that her luck was not so good.

Thinking about it this way, it's good to buy it, at least after the spring of the next year, there will be a place to bring a few of them over to relax, and it's not that he can't afford more than [-] taels, at worst, he will limit his expenses in the future. Especially some unnecessary literary meetings, if you can't go, you won't go.

Xie Xiuwen had a plan in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface.

"My lord, although you can't grow food on this mountain, the trees are luxuriant. It's very interesting to come here to hunt and pick fruits in your spare time."

Yaren didn't want to miss this order, so he naturally picked a nice one to say.

"How much is this field exactly? Besides, who is it leased to, or are the servants of the original owner's family planting it themselves?"

As soon as the dental man heard that there was something interesting, he immediately introduced it in detail.

After some haggling, the deal was finally settled at 910 taels, and now all the crops growing in this field have to belong to the buyer, that is to say, once the money is paid and the contract is changed, the things here have nothing to do with the original owner's family.

There is a house on the mountain, it is not big, there are more than a dozen houses in total, it is said that the main family used to come here for a spring outing when it was glorious.

In fact, the house has been in disrepair for a long time, and it looks like it has not been lived in for at least six or seven years.

Fang Hu went in and turned around, looked around and came back to report.

"This house needs to be repaired, the roof is missing tiles, some doors and windows are broken, and I see that there is no decent furniture inside, it might as well just chop it up and use it as firewood." good."

Xie Xiuwen nodded, anyway, he won't be coming again for a while, and there is no rush to repair the house.

"Let's do it when it gets warmer next year."

"Yes, sir."

Now that the group of people came out, they naturally wanted to relax for two days. Yaren had already gone to the yamen to go through the relevant procedures, and he had to introduce the host family to the tenants here, etc. After all, they were always busy.

There were not many fields, and there were seven tenants in total. Both parties met and wrote a new lease, and the old one was burned in front of them.

Because Xie Xiuwen is the new master, he is also very talkative. He only said that next year's rent will be reduced by [-]%, which made all the farmers present very happy.

This year's rent has already been paid, Xie Xiuwen is not in a hurry, anyway, there is this mountain, at least the firewood for the house is available, it is much cheaper than buying firewood directly in the capital.

Fang Hu went out for a stroll, and reported the truth when he came back.

"The little one has already found the second son of the Song tenant's family. From now on, let him send a cart of firewood to our house every day. It must be chopped, and it costs [-] Wen a day. If it rains or snows, it will be waived."

Xie Xiuwen nodded, Fang Hu considered all these trivial matters very thoughtfully.

Liu Ruolan was also very satisfied with the housekeeper: "I went to the firewood room yesterday, and the firewood inside can last for at least half a month. From now on, there will be a load of firewood a day, but it's a lot. We're afraid There is no use for these."

"Be prepared."

This is the north. Although the weather is dry, it is not always wet and rainy compared to the south, but the problem is that once it snows heavily, it will be impossible to move forward.

Therefore, Fang Hu's arrangement was not wrong.

And they have such a big family now, they only store firewood for half a month, which is really not much.

"Fang Hu, don't have a load of firewood a day. Tell the Song family to help them dispose of some dead trees on the mountain, and then chop the firewood and send it to Beijing. Give them five dollars a day." Ten pennies."

Fang Hu was silent for a moment: "Come on, I'll go and order the little one. He said that at least one carload of firewood a day, together with the wages for repairing these dead trees, totaled [-] Wen."

Xie Xiuwen nodded: "Yes."

In the evening, they stayed at an inn in the town.

I have to go up the mountain again tomorrow, so there is no need to toss back and forth.

Because it is at the foot of the emperor, the law and order here is still very good. When Xie Xiuwen was buying pastries for Guaibao outside, he also saw several inspectors patrolling with knives.

The next day, just after breakfast, Yaren came over with a happy face.

"Master Xie, this is the land deed and the title deed, which I brought to you. Now that everything is settled, you are the new master here."

"Okay, thank you."

In addition to the 910 taels of money to buy the land, Xie Xiuwen also paid Yaren a reward of ten taels.

This is also an unwritten rule.

Generally speaking, what Yaren earns is given by the seller, but there are decent people who will give some money, so it is easy to deal with.

What Xie Xiuwen thought was that he still had a lot of things to buy in the future. Seeing that this person was sincere, he could be asked to do more work in the future.

The tooth man was happy to see the teeth without seeing the eyes, so happy, he took out two children's contracts from his bosom.

"Look at this little memory, take a look, this is a pair of grandparents left by the original owner's family here, they have no skills, it is said that the grandpa fought with the general before, and then joined his family to make a family Servant. It’s just that the old master is already here, and the new master doesn’t have much affection with him, so I simply hand over this body deed to you.”

Xie Xiuwen raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking of the grandparents he saw in the wooden house at the foot of the mountain yesterday.

"The lame old man?"

"Exactly, I lost half a leg. I was disliked by the new owner a few years ago, so I was sent here to be a mountain watcher. In fact, I felt that they were a drag, and I wished to drive them out." (End of this chapter)
