The reborn girl is good for farming

Chapter 129 Chapter 129
While walking and watching, Li Xiaolan gradually formed an idea in her heart.

Holding the bamboo branch that Zhou Jiarong gave her just now, she patted the grass while walking up the small barren slope.

Looking up, the north side of this hillside is the bamboo grove, and the downhill slope on the east side is relatively gentle. The bottom is next to the Hong River. There are not many reeds in the river, and there is a flat land of about half an mu.The south side is relatively steep, and ordinary people cannot climb it.The west side is where she just came up.

Li Xiaolan looked satisfied and nodded, this position is good.

Looking back to the southwest direction, there are more than a dozen such barren slopes, with not much wasteland in between.In the distance are relatively flat farmland and a few scattered houses.

"Sister, I caught a bamboo chicken, look quickly..." Maocao waved to her from the bamboo mountain not far away, and there was a bamboo chicken in his hand, which looked quite small, but it was more beautiful than the chicken at home.

"I see, it's amazing." Li Xiaolan said with a thumbs up.

Zhou Jiarong explained that the thatch was playing, and ran to Li Xiaolan's side in a few steps, "How about it, is it okay here?"

"Brother Jiarong, have you ever thought about where the new house will be built?" Li Xiaolan asked looking southwest.

Of course Zhou Jiarong thought about it, and quickly replied, "There are almost no new homesteads in the village, and some are very small. We need half an acre, which is definitely not enough. Look at those scattered houses, which were all separated by the villagers later. We moved here. We can only choose in this area.”

"Is that so..." Li Xiaolan thought for a while, and then asked, "How much money did you get from the separation?"

Zhou Jiarong smiled happily and said, "Including building the house and dowry money, my father gave me a total of 70 taels. Didn't you say that pearls can be sold? I went to the jewelry store in the town and sold them for 86 taels. Also, I sold bamboo weaving before. Earned, a total of 160 fifty taels."

Li Xiaolan swallowed her saliva when she heard this, and be good, she knew that the ancient pearls were valuable, but she never thought they would be so valuable, the ones he sold were definitely not as good as the ones he gave her, so she held a lot of silver in her hands.She knows that pearls can be cultivated artificially, so she has a heart in mind, and she can try this in the future.

"Do you have to pay taxes in this bamboo forest?" She looked at such a large bamboo forest, and if she had to pay taxes, it would not be a small sum.

"No, we only have to pay taxes on farmland in the Great Beijing Dynasty, and we don't have to pay taxes on mountains, forests, ponds, etc."

Hearing this, Li Xiaolan was very happy, "Then how about we buy this hillside? Will we have to pay taxes in the future?"

"Of course it's not necessary. Why? Are you going to buy slope land?" Zhou Jiarong asked puzzled.

"I have this idea." Li Xiaolan turned her head and pointed to the empty space under the eastern hillside and said, "Brother Jiarong, you said that we can organize this side and make it a pier, how about it?"

Zhou Jiarong looked around and nodded slightly, "It's true, it's much more convenient than going through the bamboo forest. It's just that this hillside doesn't belong to our house, and I'm afraid outsiders will come over."

"So I want to buy this hillside. I think the location behind the bamboo forest is too small, and it's not very convenient to pass through the bamboo forest. I have some ideas, and I have to think about it. It's not urgent. Let's go back first. , Discuss slowly. Tell me more carefully, what else does the Dajing Dynasty need to collect taxes on?” It’s summer now, everywhere is lush and green, and it’s time to look for any good things that were missed during the autumn harvest.

The three talked and laughed all the way and soon returned to Li's house, and brought back two bamboo chicken stew.
