Traveling through the years of disaster, I took Lingquan Space to escape the famine

After finishing the business at the shop and returning home, it was already dark.

Just as he was about to have dinner, the village chief came over.

"Miss Lin, when I heard that you were back, I ran over to find you."

Lin Jiuyue looked at the village chief in confusion.

"Village Chief, what do you want to see me for?"

The village chief had a smile on his face. Looks like something good is happening.

"Isn't it? It should be a good thing for you."

Lin Jiuyue was stunned. Then he spoke.

"Village chief. What's the good news?"

"Today I heard that the land in the village next to ours is for sale. I thought you said you wanted to buy the land but didn't do it last time, so I came here to ask if you would buy it."

Lin Jiuyue:......

I really wanted to buy some fields, but after asking for a long time last time, I couldn't find anyone who had large fields for sale, so I bought the small hill in the village.

After clearing the land for a long time, the hill was finally covered.

Now that I have a small mountain bag, I am no longer in a hurry to buy land.

"Village chief, how big is the field you mentioned? Whose family owns it? Where is the field?"

Seeing Lin Jiuyue asking so many questions in one breath, the village chief knew that Lin Jiuyue still wanted to buy it.

"Haha, I heard that there are twenty acres. It is the land of the rich man Zhang's family in the village next to us. It is all good farmland."

When Lin Jiuyue heard the village chief's words, he instantly became interested.

Twenty acres of land is still quite large. If you buy it yourself and grow the food, wouldn't there be another way for the food in the space to open up?

"Village chief, since they are all high-quality farmland, why does the rich man want to sell the fields again?"

These days, farmland is like a lifeblood to the people. Unless there are special circumstances, people generally would not choose to sell their land.

"Hey, it turns out that the rich man had a bad fate and gave birth to a son who didn't live up to expectations."

"The rich man Zhang's son who was listening to the book got addicted to gambling a few years ago and lost all his family's money. After being beaten by rich man Zhang, he became honest for a while."

"A few days ago, I don't know why, but as if I was possessed by a ghost, I went to the gambling house to gamble again. I became red-eyed while gambling. I lost all the money I had and borrowed a lot from the gambling house. of silver."

"By the time anyone realized it, they had already borrowed more than two thousand taels of silver. All the money in the family had been lost, leaving only the family house and the fields. Naturally, there was no money to repay the money from the gambling house."

"But where is that gambling house? It's a place where the emperor's relatives will peel off their skin if they enter. It's still impossible to borrow money."

Lin Jiuyue:......

Gambling is a thing that, once you get involved in it, you will most likely not be able to get away from it. Just like eating mutton. Even after eating, I still smell fishy.

"and then?"

Lin Jiuyue probably knew how things would develop in the end. But he couldn't help but ask.

"Without the money to repay the money, the people from the gambling house detained the son of the rich man Zhang. They also threatened that the rich man Zhang should repay the money within three days. If it was more than one day, he would chop off one of young master Zhang's fingers."

"Originally, Mr. Zhang was a tough man and wanted to take this opportunity to give his son a long memory and scare him. But he didn't expect that the people in the gambling house were also cruel. They actually chopped off one of Mr. Zhang's fingers and sent someone to kill him. Sent to rich man Zhang’s home.”

"The rich man Zhang panicked after seeing his son's severed finger. Now he is busy collecting money from everywhere."

After listening to the village chief's words, Lin Jiuyue couldn't help but sigh.

Gambling is harmful!

There are many people who have great wealth and become destitute because of their addiction to gambling. What about ordinary people?

Besides, gambling houses in this era can be considered a formal industry. And who can open a gambling house without some power behind him?

Although Rich Man Zhang has some money. But compared with the people in the gambling house, it's still a bit worse.

"Pity."

Lin Jiuyue sighed.

"Isn't it true? If the Zhang family hadn't had such an unfilial son, they wouldn't be in this situation now. The wealth they spent most of their lives struggling for was lost in just a short time."

After the village chief finished speaking, he was also sighing.

If this were to happen to me, if my son did something like this, I would be able to break his legs without anyone from the gambling shop doing anything!

"Then the Zhang family only has one son?"

Lin Jiuyue looked at the village chief in confusion.

People in this era like to have more children, the more children the better. Well, the more sons the better.

"You really hit the mark. Although Mr. Zhang is rich, he only has one son."

Lin Jiuyue nodded.

If he really had so many sons, Mr. Zhang probably wouldn't be as doting on his sons as he is now, and his sons wouldn't lose all the family property.

After all, if something like this happened to the Zhang family, Mr. Zhang and his wife must also bear a certain degree of responsibility.

A spoiled child is like a murderer! There is nothing wrong with what he said.

"Village chief, how much does the rich man's land cost per acre?"

"The best farmland costs eight taels of silver per acre."

Lin Jiuyue nodded.

The best farmland in Lijiacun only costs seven taels of silver per acre. Sometimes, if the owner is in a hurry to sell it, it may be even cheaper.

But this is the boundary of Beijing, so it is understandable that the price is a little higher.

What's more, their fields are still connected together. A large area is easier to manage, and it is normal to be more expensive.

"Village Chief, are you free tomorrow? If so, can you take me to see you?"

The village chief nodded.

"Whenever you have time. If you want to take a look, I will come over early tomorrow morning and take you to the rich man Zhang's house to ask."

As soon as the village chief heard that Zhang Darich's land was for sale, he rushed to tell Lin Jiuyue. Fearing that the notice would be late, Mr. Zhang sold the land.

But when he came, Lin Jiuyue was not at home, so he delayed the visit until it was dark.

"Okay, then go there early tomorrow morning."

Rich man Zhang was in a hurry to save his son with money. He must have been in a hurry to sell the land. If he arrived late, someone might have bought it.

It won't be that easy to find such a desirable land in the future.

The village chief also had selfish motives for telling Lin Jiuyue about this matter so actively.

The overall conditions of Shangbei Village are good, but there are still some families in the village who do not have fields, or in other words, the food grown in those fields is not enough for their families.

The village chief thought that Lin Jiuyue was rich and his family had a small population, so he would definitely not be able to farm so much land. If Lin Jiuyue really bought the land from Zhang Darich's family, he would definitely find someone to help him plant it in the future. Or the land should be leased out.

Lin Jiuyue is now a villager in Shangbei Village. Whether they are looking for help with farming or renting it out, villagers in Shangbei Village have more opportunities than people outside.
