Happy peasant girl

Chapter 121 Buying land and hiring people (3)
That night, when they returned home, Lin Yuanshan and Lin Zhongguo called Lin Qingyun and Lin Qingxi to them alone.

"Dalang, girl Xi, do you have something to hide from your father and me?" After Lin Qingyun and the others came back from the capital, they always seemed mysterious when they spoke and acted. But with Linyuan Mountain's eyes, he is their grandfather.

"Grandpa, it's nothing, you are overthinking." Lin Qingyun glanced at Lin Qingxi, and then said to Linyuan Mountain.

"Am I overthinking, ah! You children have grown up, and you don't want to tell Grandpa about anything. Hey, when you are old, your children and grandchildren hate it." Linyuanshan felt that right now. He felt a little lost, like watching the young eaglet that he had fed in one bite and was about to leave the nest.

"Grandpa, don't say that, my brother and I really have nothing to hide from you. It's just that my brothers and I don't want you and dad to worry about it, and want you to live a leisurely and happy life." Lin Qingxi Pulling Lin Qingyun's sleeve, she can handle this matter.

"How can I not worry about it! Girl Xi, grandpa knows you are a good boy, but we farmers are born to suffer, how can we live a leisurely life, while we can still move, I will help you little ones." One hand, when grandpa is too old to move, you want me to worry that I don't even bother to take care of your affairs." Linyuanshan took out the dry pipe from his waist again, and every time he was in a bad mood, he Take two sips.

"Girl Xi, just talk about what you have. Dad can't do much, but he can always help." After Lin Zhongguo's leg healed, he always felt that he was useless and was a burden to his children. Even if he left the tofu house in the village, he couldn't do heavy work either.

"Grandfather, father, the thing is actually like this. On the way back to the capital, Senior Brother Wei Xuan asked his guards to find me and gave me 3000 taels of silver, of which 3000 taels were for my hard work. He thought Let me buy some land for him in Fuan County, and hire some people to help him cultivate. He also said that he can’t let me worry about it for free, and he will give me half of the annual harvest. These days, my brother and I are busy with this Something." Since Linyuan Mountain and Linzhongguo want to worry about it, then Linqingxi really has something to worry about, and originally thought about it in two days, but now it seems that it can't be done.

As soon as they heard 3000 taels of silver, Linyuanshan and Linzhongguo were shocked and speechless, and when they heard that Wei Xuan was going to give half of the harvest to Linqingxi, they even forgot what they were surprised about.Lin Qingyun only found out about this two days ago.

"Girl Xi, then... so much money, you... where did you put it?" Linyuan Shan really wanted to knock Lin Qingxi and his children on the heads, but they still kept such a big thing from them. Well, this could be something that a few of them have accomplished!

"Grandpa, I just put it under the pillow on my bed!" Lin Qingxi said casually, she knew that Lin Yuanshan and Lin Zhongguo would completely divert their attention if this matter was revealed.

"Nonsense, you children are really nonsense! Is that a few pennies, a few taels of silver? How can it be put under the pillow, Dalang, tell your mother to hide it!" Linyuan Mountain didn't even smoke dry tobacco. , and paced back and forth nervously in the room.

"Grandfather, don't worry so much. Senior brother Wei Xuan asked me to use the money to help him buy land. After the land is bought and the person is welcome, I can buy some farm tools and the like. The money is almost used up. At our house It won't last long." Lin Qingxi was really afraid that Linyuan Mountain would even worry about getting sick because of the money.

"How did you find the matter there?" Lin Zhongguo didn't expect his son and daughter to hide such a big matter from them.

"Father, how can this place and people be found so easily? Besides, we can't just handle this matter carelessly if Xi girl's senior brother entrusts her with it." Lin Qingyun rarely lies, especially to her family , but this time he also had to say it.

"Yes, we can't do it carelessly. Girl Xi, does your master know about this?" Linyuan Shan suddenly felt a heavy burden on his body.

"Grandpa, my master doesn't know yet. Don't worry too much. My brother and I have even signed the contract documents. This matter can be done within six years, and half of the harvest has also been signed. I Brother and I both want to get this matter done as soon as possible, so can't we have a lot more harvest every year?" Lin Qingxi deliberately said that he was a bit philistine.

"What, you even signed the contract documents? Xi girl, Xi girl, why are you so courageous, you have to go home and discuss this matter with your family." Linyuanshan looked at Linqingxi dissatisfied Said.

"Grandpa, it happened suddenly at the time. I thought how could I miss such a good thing. Speaking of it, Senior Brother Wei Xuan wanted to help me, so I made my own decision without telling third brother. Oh, Grandpa, Anyway, the contract documents have been signed and signed, and this matter cannot be changed, so let's just do it well." At the end, Lin Qingxi simply played tricks.

"Father, girl Xi is right. Now is not the time to blame her. Let's find a way to help buy land and ask people to cultivate it. I heard that several hundred acres of land in Qijia Village are deserted, and some people If you want to sell your own land, I'll go and ask!" Lin Zhongguo couldn't bear his daughter being scolded, and he also felt that Lin Qingxi was right, and he had to get this matter done first.

"That's okay, you go to Qijia Village first and ask, I will also go to a few nearby villages to see if there is any land for sale, and when the land is bought, we can talk about finding someone." Linyuan Shan thought about it, even if No matter how much I blame Lin Qingxi, it won't help the matter. It's better to solve the matter first.

"Grandpa, Dad, wait a minute, I haven't finished my sentence yet!" Lin Qingxi said, grabbing the sleeves of Linyuan Shan and Lin Zhongguo flatteringly.

"What else do you have to say!" Facing Linqingxi's ingratiating smile, Linyuanshan could only sigh helplessly.

"Grandpa, Dad, the contract documents between me and my brother are very clear. Now we buy and sell one mu of land in Chu State for one tael of silver. He asked me to buy him 1 mu of land in Fu'an County, and the other [-] taels The money needed for various expenses in six years. Didn’t the Holy Majesty order the people to open up wasteland and farm land, and only pay [-]% of the tax? Then we don’t need to buy any good fields, but find some refugees to open up wasteland and take care of them. It may cost some money in the first year, but in the second year, the grain and vegetables grown in the field will be self-sufficient, so it can save a lot of money, so..." Lin Qingxi's small abacus was pounding like thunder. I just don't know if the honest couple Linyuanshan and Linzhongguo will agree.

"So what?" Linyuan Shan's face was already gloomy.

Lin Qingxi was not afraid, and continued: "So, we don't need to spend money to buy 1 mu of good land, just reclaim [-] mu of wasteland, and then turn the wasteland into good farmland. Yin Zi went to hire people, directly found some refugees, and then asked Da'an to find some people to manage them, and then taught them some knowledge about farming. I can grow anything in the field, and it’s not impossible for me to turn the wasteland into a fertile field, so why bother wasting [-] taels on buying land.”
