Depressed little landlord

But it was said that Lin Xuan and Xu Yang happened to meet the village head who was also going there on the way to the Yamen, so they walked together.Seeing that the car of the two people was empty, the village chief knew that they had also sold the grain, so he asked casually.

"Where did you change?"

Now Lin Xuan sat on the side of the car facing him, and when he heard the village chief's question, he smiled and replied: "It's from the Qi family."

The village chief thought about it for a while, and seeing that he had no impression, he thought they were afraid of trouble queuing up, so he patiently explained: "Xiaoxuan, although you lived in the town before, you still need to screen more to find a shop."

"Yes, uncle is right. Didn't you see that there are too many people in those shops? It happened that someone Xu Yang knew introduced us to go there."

When the village chief heard that Xu Yang knew him, he felt a little relieved. He was worried that because they used to be from the town, they came to sell grain because they would lose face, so they searched for a room and sold it.

"Know? That's good, that's good."

"Thirteen words for corn, white rice..." Lin Xuan thought for a while and told the village chief the price of rice he had heard from Qi's house before, "Uncle, is this okay?"

The village chief nodded after hearing this: "Yes, yes, it is indeed the case, as long as you are not mistaken."

Now I feel completely relieved, and then I am happy that the rice planted by the Lin family can have such a price. After all, they will start planting next year. With such a harvest and price, I feel more confident.

So I became more determined about what to do in the Yamen this time.

For those who moved away before, some of the land was also sold by him, but because the land there was known to the surrounding villages, they have not been sold. This time, with Lin Xuan's method, the people in the village The land can be saved again, and maybe those people will come back.

After pondering for a while, he looked at Lin Xuan's handsome face. When he looked over, the other party subconsciously smiled back at him. The village head looked around and the latter leaned forward, and slightly lowered his voice and said: "Xiao Xuan, come on down. What are your plans?"

"Ah?" Lin Xuan saw that he looked mysterious, but the words he asked were very ordinary. He didn't understand what the village chief meant when he asked this question, but he subconsciously replied, "Just plant the land."

"You child..." The village chief paused, but he still spoke clearly, "I mean you should have some money for the food you sell today? Do you want to keep it or spend it?"

As he spoke, the man moved closer: "If you want to live in the village longer, you might as well buy more land. We farmers still have land in our hands and are more confident."

When Lin Xuan heard it, his eyes lit up: "That's right, but do we still have land for sale? What are the prices?"

Indeed, land is a high asset wherever it is, and having land in hand feels at ease.I just don't know how they sell their land now. If they can buy it at a low price, and when they get it all done in the future, they won't be afraid that the land will not be planted well, then it will be a real profit.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, and muttered to himself: "I don't know how much I can buy with this little money today?"

Hearing this, the village head smiled, touched his chin, which was a bit prickly, and said mysteriously: "It's okay, you are catching up today, and this time I am going to tell the adults about the land in our village. You see, didn't we have a lot of people before that?" Has the person moved away? Except for a few rented houses, I asked me to help sell the others at that time, and the price was quite fair. If your family is interested, you might as well discuss it carefully and let me know when the time comes."

"Thank you so much." Lin Xuan was really happy. If the price is really acceptable to him, why not buy more land?

"Then go back tonight and let's talk about it?"

The village chief smiled and was also in a good mood. Since he knew Lin Xuan's character, he would not bully the villagers, so he revealed it.

"Okay, you can discuss it carefully, but as soon as possible, everyone will know that your family has planted rice this year."

"Okay. If it's convenient, can you let us know which lands are for sale? We can go and have a look when we go back later. If we can, we will buy it right away."

The village head also felt that it was feasible, so he readily agreed. Lin Xuan and the others have a smart brain and a good hands-on ability. With more land in their hands, they will definitely be able to lead everyone to live a better life.

"Three taels of high-grade fields, two taels of middle-grade fields, and one tael of low-grade fields. These are the basic prices here. However, some villages have more than that. It mainly depends on what the owner says."

The chief bookkeeper of the yamen was a thin old man. He stroked his mustache and looked at Lin Xuan and Xu Yang standing opposite him. He answered slowly, then narrowed his eyes slightly, flipped through the book on the table, and slid his fingers across.

"Where did you just say that?"

"Wangshan Village."

"Oh——Wangshan Village...well, there is." The old man held up the book and stood it up, narrowing his eyes even more fiercely at the light at the door. After reading it for a long time, he suddenly realized that he put down the book, and looked up them.

"The land in your village..." He paused, obviously he had heard about it, "Are you sure where you want to buy the land?"

"Yes." Lin Xuan nodded, and said firmly, "Is there anything wrong, my lord?"

"Oh, no, it's just that since you live there, you should know the situation there, so I don't need to say more, so are you sure you want to buy it?"

Lin Xuan smiled: "Yes."

Hearing this, the old man nodded his index finger and tapped his tongue, then turned a page, and squinted his eyes again to carefully read the content on it.

"There are indeed a lot of open spaces there. Are you going to buy these or have them ready?"

"Is there a difference?"

These words caused the old man to look up at Lin Xuan again, this time he suddenly frowned slightly, then stood up and walked to Lin Xuan, squinted his eyes for a closer look, this was not enough, he walked around and finally stood in front of Lin Xuan , and asked a little hesitantly: "You are? What did you say was your name just now?"

"Lin Xuan."

"Oh~ no wonder why I said it looked familiar, it turned out to be Mr. Lin!" The old man walked back to his seat, paused when he was about to sit down, and looked back at Lin Xuan, "I didn't expect that You moved there, ah, yes, besides there you also..." The last sentence was so low that no one present could hear it clearly except for himself.

"Are you here this time to ask about buying land?"

Lin Xuanzheng was curious about what he said before, but he didn't hear clearly. Then he suddenly heard the question again, so he had to say it again.

The old man is really too old, not only his eyes are bad, but his memory is also bad, but why hasn't he retired yet?

"Actually, we are here mainly to pay food taxes."

The village head, who had been kept on the sidelines for a long time, also nodded.

When the old man heard this, he wanted to flip through the book again, but before that, he suddenly remembered something, and asked with some surprise: "Grain tax? So you have already bought the land?"

"No, it's the ones my dad bought before, and I planted some."

"Your father bought it?" The old man picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Well, I remembered, there is such a thing, those lands are connected to the lake, right?"

Lin Xuan nodded.

"Oh, that's it, then you don't have to pay it now, your father did it before."

"Have you handed it over?" Lin Xuan exclaimed in surprise.

Then he looked at Xu Yang fiercely, and the latter shook his head to express that he didn't know either.

Lin Xuan had no choice but to look at the old master, and asked suspiciously: "You said that my father has handed over? Could it be that he had already thought that I would..."

"That's not true." The old man waved his hand, stroking his beard and shaking his head, and said slowly: "So he didn't tell you, because when he bought the lake, it was connected to those lands, but you know At that time, he bought the lake to produce salt. The salt tax is different from the grain tax. Although the adults agreed, the salt tax was said at the time, and it was paid in one lump sum, so your father paid it at the time, but it was only It has been paid for three years, so you can use it for the first two years.”

The old man withdrew his gaze and shook his head, "My lord and I still hope that we can really produce salt... What a pity!"

Lin Xuan looked at Xu Yang, he really didn't know about this, probably the original body too, because he didn't remember it.

Xu Yang leaned closer to his ear and whispered: "Grandpa probably knows something, so I'll ask when I get back."

Lin Xuan nodded, that's all he could do. He never asked why his father bought the lake. Maybe he could ask the housekeeper Hua to find out.

"Thank you for letting me know." Lin Xuan bowed his hands to the other party.

The old man waved his hand and said with emotion: "You don't need to be too polite, I think Mr. Lin was such a good person when he was with us, alas! Mr. Lin, don't be sad, I think those shops in your house are open again now? I heard that it was your second uncle who wanted to come back a little bit, so he should be capable, and he shouldn't treat you two badly."

"Well, the second uncle is indeed capable." Lin Xuan said with a smile when he thought of the former shops of the Lin family passing by.

"The little one won't bother you with your business, please leave first."

"Should be, should be. By the way, if Mr. Lin wants to buy land, he should buy it as soon as possible." Before Lin Xuan and the two left, the old man also said the same thing as the village chief.

"Yes."

Lin Xuan and Xu Yang saluted again, and then bid farewell to the village chief before leaving the yamen.

***

Because the village chief said that there was still work to be done, Lin Xuan and Xu Yang came back first, and the two of them were not in a hurry, so Xu Yang let the donkey walk by himself, and he sat opposite Lin Xuan, wearing a straw hat. Fan him.

Lin Xuan looked at the surrounding scenery, but it was too hot now, and he was already sweating profusely after sitting for a while. Even if Xu Yang fanned him, it would not help at all, but it was better than nothing.

"What do you think of this?"

"What do you think? To buy or not to buy?"

Although Lin Xuan asked endlessly, Xu Yang still knew what he was asking, so he didn't answer but asked him back.

Lin Xuan looked at him and sighed heavily, "I'm just asking you because I'm having trouble making a decision, of course having more land is a good thing, but look at our family, we are the only ones who can work, can we take care of it? "

Hearing this, Xu Yang didn't answer immediately, but stretched out his hand to gently wipe off the sweat on his face, and then rubbed his index finger and thumb a few times, as if there was something on his hand.Looking at his focused eyes and his movements, Lin Xuan blushed again in disappointment.

"Cough! What are you thinking?"

Xu Yang smiled slightly, and handed him the jar of water: "It's very hot, drink some water first."

After Lin Xuan took it and drank the water, he answered the previous question: "It doesn't matter, we can buy some people or lease it to other people, as long as the land is good."

Lin Xuan sniffled, and said a little proudly: "What's the matter, we can turn bad things into good things."

"Ah."

"What are you laughing at? Don't believe me?"

"No!"

"Huh! Let's go home quickly, first go and see how those lands are, and buy them if they are suitable."

"it is good."

Lin Xuan patted Xu Yang on the shoulder, and proudly said: "We want to buy a lot, and then I will be the landlord, so you can be my housekeeper?"

"Ah!"

The author has something to say: I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's too late today, bow~
