Chapter 50 Buying Land

Fifth Grandpa went to the dental office and knew that there were still some problems in communicating with the Yamen.Since yesterday, Liang Yilin has gone to the county school to attend classes. Although he is no longer in the college, Zheng Shanzhang is still the professor of the county school. Because he has expectations for him, he is stricter than usual, and Liang Yimei is still a child in his eyes. , I can only run errands by myself.

Liang Yimei knew that the yamen had deliberately delayed, so she sent a letter to Xu Runxin and waited at home.

Xu Runxin managed to get rid of his family members, and when he entered Liang's house, he poured out bitter water. He felt like throwing up after reading the account books these days.

Liang Yimei asked curiously: "You said you didn't like being an official and you liked doing business, why are you complaining now?"

Xu Runxin lay faceless on the table and said, "What's the difference? My father and grandfather put people by my side. Usually, I have to go through the two stewards around me when I make any decisions. If they can't make a decision, they will go to me again." Dad and grandpa simply don't believe in my ability at all."

Liang Yimei nodded knowingly, "That means you are a golden bird!"

"Golden Bird?" Xu Runxin tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "This name is really appropriate."

"Then you don't have to go out all day, you have to find a way to solve it?"

Xu Runxin rolled his eyes, "That's not why I ran out."

Liang Yimei wondered, "What is that for?"

Xu Runxin rolled his eyes, thinking that although she is smart, she may not understand these things, so he just took this opportunity to say it, so as not to be overwhelmed, he said distressedly: "Isn't it my mother? She will come back every other day or two." What kind of flower viewing party is going to be held, or if this and that lady comes to visit, I will be bored to death at home."

Liang Yimei nodded, it was a blind date in disguise.

"...my mother was preparing it when I was 12 years old, but I was young and didn't like it, so my grandpa helped me to block it. Later, when I grew up, they still had no intention of seeing me, and they were all anxious. What does it look like? Even my grandpa is pushing me every day, or I was smart enough to get away with Zheng Jue and the others taking the exam... I remember when I entered the exam room for the first time, my father was more nervous than me, The whole person is standing outside the examination room..."

Liang Yimei's head nodded. She didn't know that Xu Runxin had the talent for chatter before. She kept praying in her heart: brother, come back soon!She regretted very much why she asked this sentence just now.

Xu Runxin didn't mind the audience's inattentiveness at all, he just needed a vent, in the past, Zheng Jue and Shang Zhiqing would turn their heads and leave as long as he opened his mouth, it's better to be Xiaomeizi.I thought to myself: In the future, Meizi's affairs should be more careful.

Liang Yimei saw that he was getting further and further away, so she quickly asked: "There are so many ladies, you don't like any of them?"

"... Sigh~~ It's not that I don't like them, it's just that I don't like their family members. If their family members are better, why would they want them to marry me?"

Liang Yimei cheered up, she looked him up and down with piercing eyes, her eyes glistening with gossip: "You..."

I don't know so much, Xu Runxin just understood that look in his eyes, and quickly said: "I have no problem!"

Liang Yimei had the word "weird" on her face, and Xu Runxin regretted it a little. He shouldn't feel that the other party didn't understand what he said so he didn't hold back.

In order not to leave that impression, I had no choice but to explain desperately: "Because I have to carry two houses on my shoulders, my grandfather discussed it with my parents early in the morning. In the future, I will marry two wives. The room is at the grandfather's side, and the children born belong to their own rooms..."

Liang Yimei opened her mouth wide, "Is this okay?"

Xu Runxin smiled bitterly, "It's not that all girls are bad, it's just that every time I think about why they married me, I feel a little uncomfortable."

Liang Yimei understood him and said sympathetically, "Wouldn't you want to live on the battlefield for the rest of your life?"

Xu Runxin was puzzled, so Liang Yimei analyzed it for him: "No woman is willing to share her husband with others, no matter how virtuous she is, it is impossible. Generally, if a family has only one wife, there will be constant internal fighting, let alone you have two wives? It's fine to be jealous, but what if it hurts the heirs? Take ten thousand steps back, the children born in the two families have grown up safely, but when they grow up, although one family inherits the other, since they are tied together How can it be so clearly divided? What's more, it's not that there is only one child in a house. Except for the eldest son who inherits the family business, there are no other sons. The imbalance in the heart is the beginning of the struggle..."

Xu Runxin's eyes lit up, "What did you just say?"

"An unbalanced heart is the very beginning of a fight..."

"No, last sentence."

Liang Yimei wondered: "What's more, it's not like there is only one son in one house..."

Xu Runxin said with a smile: "Since it's not a house with only one son, why don't I marry a house? I don't believe it, I gave birth to him for ten or eight years, and I can not have two sons."

Liang Yimei looked at his proud expression and wanted to tell him that it was possible.She just hesitated for a while, but she didn't dare to say it. She knew that she had caused trouble by her nonsense just now, and she only hoped that he would not recruit her.

Liang Yimenonuo said: "Perhaps... it's better to choose a stronger body."

Xu Runxin excitedly said: "For every mistake, choose a healthy wife..."

Liang Yimei opened her mouth, not because she was healthy, but because she was strong!
Just when Xu Runxin was about to express his emotions, Liang Yilin came back with his book bag on his back. Seeing Xu Runxin, he smiled and said, "Has Brother Xu been here for a long time? Will it delay your business?"

Xu Runxin waved his hand and said, "No, what can I do, you can call me if you have anything to do in the future." They looked like good brothers.

Mr. Liang Wu also happened to come back from the dental shop to inquire about the news. The four of them together thought it was better to go to the master book.

The three of Liang Yimei were going to look for the master, but they didn't know that the master was also going to the county magistrate with the slip of the land that Liang Yimei wanted to buy, the magistrate Shang looked at it and said, "This is what the Liang family wants to buy? Liuzi Lane in the east of the city?"

The chief secretary was a little curious that the county magistrate would ask so carefully, but he still said, "Yes, it is said that Erlang of his family has just been admitted as a scholar."

Magistrate Shang touched the letter he had just opened, thinking to himself, could it be a coincidence?

He lowered his eyelids, "How much do they want to buy? I remember that if the land is developed, it will be more than 2000 mu."

The director complimented: "The county magistrate has a really good memory. That piece of land is indeed very big, but they didn't buy much, only two or three hundred acres. It's just that they still have to buy the two connected hills. Because There are few people buying mountains, and the precedents found are all from a long time ago, so it took so long." There was an accident of explanation in the tone.

Magistrate Shang raised his eyebrows, "Oh, how long has it been since it was reported?"

The master book's heart trembled, thinking he had guessed it, he hurriedly laughed and said: "It's more than a month."

Magistrate Shang breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, it seemed to be a pure coincidence.

He smiled and said: "Leave this matter to me. If they come to you, tell them to come to me." Seeing that his subordinates were a little nervous, he explained with a smile: "Then Liang Yilin and Zhiqing are classmates, and I also Haven't seen him for a long time."

The master bookkeeper should answer "yes" repeatedly.

When he left the county magistrate's office, he felt a cold sweat on his back.

The three of Liang Yimei were a little curious, they just didn't want to bother the county magistrate Shang to find Xu Runxin, but they didn't expect that when the three of them arrived at the county government, someone came to invite them, saying that "the county magistrate invited them".

County Magistrate Shang watched a row of three people come in, glanced at Xu Runxin and Liang Yilin, and then at Liang Yimei. He had heard from his son more than once that the girls from the Liang family were smart, and he also heard that the land he bought this time was chosen by this little girl. Yes, but I didn't expect her to come to the county government office.

How did he know that Liang Yimei came because she forgot to tell Liang Yilin in advance the scope of the land to buy, and the line she drew was crooked, she followed because she was afraid that the two bought the wrong land.

Several people saluted and greeted Shang County Magistrate, Shang County Magistrate smiled and said: "...Zhiqing is not at home, and you don't want to come to my house to play. Now the yard is empty, and I miss your noise before."

Xu Runxin said heartlessly: "If Uncle Shi likes to be lively, he can move to my house for a few days. My grandfather was yelling that no one would play chess with him two days ago."

Magistrate Shang shook his head: "I don't dare to play chess with your grandfather." Yan Lao's chess skills and quality are inversely proportional to his own, but he loves playing chess very much.

Xu Runxin also thought of Grandpa Laiqi's signature move, and burst out laughing, while Liang Yilin and Liang Yimei just hung their heads aside and smiled.

Shang county magistrate secretly nodded, and started to do what all the elders who read the book saw their younger generation like to do most: homework for school exams!

Xu Runxin looked at Liang Yilin with pity, and then began to look at the furnishings in the room.Liang Yimei still stood there as motionless as a mountain.

When it was Liang Yimei's turn, Shang County Magistrate only said, "She is Lan Xinhui's woman." Liang Yimei raised her eyebrows. A woman who has no talent is a virtue. I don't know which one Shang County Magistrate likes?
After exchanging pleasantries, Shang county magistrate picked up the note for buying land and said, "Why do you think of buying wasteland?"

Liang Yilin secretly glanced at his sister, and then said: "We want to buy the ones connected together, which is easy to take care of, but there are very few of them on sale now." He paused and said, "Besides, we mainly want to buy those two I planted fruit trees on the hill and bought the one at the bottom of the hill by the way.”

Magistrate Shang nodded, which made sense.This kid answered the question in a calm and intelligent manner just now. Although he is not as good as Zheng Jue, he might be able to do something in the future. Anyway, they will know sooner or later, so it is better to sell it in advance.

"There have been frequent wars in the past two years, and more and more wasteland has settled down. For the sake of the people's safety, the imperial court has decided that anyone who reclaims wasteland only needs to pay a small amount of land purchase money, and there will be a three-year tax exemption after reclaiming wasteland,"

Liang Yimei's eyes lit up, and she exchanged a glance with Liang Yilin.

Shang County Magistrate continued: "In order not to let the land go to waste, the imperial court also decided to take back the land that had been abandoned for more than five years and resell it for reclamation. I remember that there were still nearly a thousand acres of land after that piece of land passed away. I heard that it was gone. It’s been six years, but at least I’ve grown things before, so it’s not the same as the ones above. Let’s see which one you want to buy and how much you want to buy? It’s best to make a decision today and complete the formalities in a few days. The official document may arrive in the afternoon."
