Chapter 17 Buying Land

Early the next morning, Liao Qing got up early.

Since there was a quarrel with the village head Fu Lang yesterday, Liao Qing didn't buy land through the village head at all.

Just took the paperwork and went over to settle the household here, and circled the land by the way.

It's better to circle a bigger one, build Zhuangzi.

Liao Qingyan looked at the mountain that is not too big or small that is separated from the village, it is not bad!

Make the wall bigger, enclose the mountains, plant some fruit trees and the like, and dig a small fish pond, which can also facilitate the use of mountain spring water for daily drinking water.

After Liao Qing got up for a while, Zhang Xiaoli also woke up, and his first reaction was to go to Liao Qing's room to see if he was still there.

There is no way, Liao Qing has always given Zhang Xiaoli a feeling that he wants to repay his favor and draw a clear line and fly away. He always feels that Liao Qing flew away without seeing him for a while.

Extremely insecure.

Usually Liao Qing didn't get up early, so Zhang Xiaoli relaxed and came to Liao Qing's gate to have a look.

Seeing this, she almost lost her wits, the bed was neat and tidy, but Liao Qing didn't know where she went.

Zhang Xiaoli panicked for a moment.

"Brother Liao! Liao Qing...Brother Liao!" Zhang Xiaoli ran out and shouted everywhere.

Liao Qing had a hard time.

He just went to the bathroom, and when the little brother saw that he was not in the room, he cried and shouted anxiously.

The question is, can he call people over to watch him go to the bathroom?

cannot!Although Liao Qing looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water and will not die or live, but he has been burdened with a male god for a long time, and he has long been used to it. How can people see such a very unmasculine thing!

"Brother Liao... If you haven't gone far, please reply!" The little brother cried hoarsely.

Hearing Zhang Xiaoli's shouting became more and more choked up, after all, he couldn't hold it back.

"Brother Li, I'm in the toilet, don't call me back to wash up, don't come over, I'll be back later." Liao Qing said helplessly.

But Zhang Xiaoli was disobedient for the first time, crying at the door of the latrine while telling Liao Qing how scared and worried he was, and... how much he liked him...

The little brother had a hoarse voice, but his voice was soft, and he cried Liao Qing's heart into a puddle of spring water.

As soon as Liao Qing came out, he was hugged by the little brother. The soft villain was really distressing and funny.

"Okay, okay, pack up and go to the city for breakfast later." Liao Qing wiped his little brother's flushed face, "Go do something, don't bring Xiao Lin, just the two of us."

One must know that Liao Qing usually tried his best to avoid Zhang Xiaoli's misunderstanding, how could he dare to get along with him so alone, finally got a chance, Zhang Xiaoli naturally smiled in his heart, but blushed on his face.

After washing up, the two of them went to the village to find Uncle Zhang who was driving the car, and directly chartered a car to go to the city.

Uncle Zhang’s family’s ox cart is not in time for the busy farming season or the county fair. It just so happens that Uncle Zhang is not busy, so Liao Qing is willing to spend a tael of money on a car to go to the county town. People are smiling.

It should be noted that with this bright silver, the annual output of two acres of land is just that after the tax is paid.

Before the two left, they told Zhang Xiaolin that there would be a shop to send things, and gave him money to let him stay at home to look after the house.

Zhang Xiaolin stayed home with a wink.

"Brother Liao, is there anything you didn't clear up yesterday?" Zhang Xiaoli asked.

I obviously bought so many things yesterday, so there shouldn't be anything missing, right?

It is not worth a special trip to Daji.

"Nothing, I just want to buy a piece of land and build a village. By the way, I can also buy some servants." Liao Qing looked at Zhang Xiaoli, who was blushing, "By the way, put my household here first."

The road was bumpy, and it was inevitable that the little brother would lose his center of gravity when sitting next to him, swaying from side to side, rubbing against Liao Qing's body, his face flushed with embarrassment.

Zhang Xiaoli felt a twinge in his heart at first, and then he felt relieved.

Would Liao Qing, who was like a gentleman, want to marry him to buy land and build a village?

But fortunately, the person stayed, and he slowly grinded, maybe in the end...

Zhang Sanshu drove very fast, and arrived at the county seat in the middle of noon.

"I'll just wait here, so I won't go in. Call me when you come out." Uncle Zhang had nothing to buy, so he simply waited at the gate of the city to save two entry fees.

The two entered the city and went to the county government office after inquiring about the way.

"Who?" The yamen guard stopped Liao Qing and Zhang Xiaoli.

"In the next capital city, I plan to settle down here and buy some fields and homesteads. It's convenient for the two of you." Liao Qing was neither humble nor overbearing, and handed over two taels of silver.

As the saying goes, money can turn ghosts, the two yamen servants immediately changed their attitudes, especially when they heard Liao Qingju's identity, they really couldn't be more than nodding their heads.

There is no need for the county magistrate to preside over justice, the yamen is generally closed, and the county magistrate naturally does not sit in the middle hall, but in the study behind.

Liao Qing and Zhang Xiaoli were taken to the yard, and the Yamen servant first went to the study to pass the news.

The process went very smoothly, and after a while, the yamen servant who went to report came to invite Liao Qing in.

Zhang Xiaoli twisted the corner of her clothes, wondering whether she should follow or not.

It's inappropriate for a little brother to listen to a man talking about things.

"Why don't you leave?" Liao Qing turned around and asked Zhang Xiaoli not following.

There is a kind of temptation of beauty called the backlight in the warm spring sun to kill back.

Zhang Xiaoli looked at the way Liao Qing turned his head, the gold rims behind the sun were not as shining as that man's, and his heart was beating like a drum.

Dazed by the beauty, Zhang Xiaoli came back to his senses and found that Liao Qing was holding his hand and talking to the county magistrate!

"Haha, Liao Juren is willing to settle in this small county. It's a blessing here! The master will finish the formalities later." The plump county magistrate Zhu took a sip of tea and stroked the goatee he had deliberately grown, " I heard that Liao Juren has something else to do?"

"Exactly, I'm going to build a Zhuangzi on the larger piece of land in Xiaozhang Village and a smaller mountain." Liao Qing cupped his hands.

Naturally, County Magistrate Zhu had no reluctance. Selling the barren mountain was considered a small political achievement.

"Well, the old man naturally has no opinion. It's just that Liao Juren probably didn't pass through any vulgar things. I don't know that there is a lot of land under this person's name. Eight hundred acres. If there is more, land tax will be collected." County Magistrate Zhu reminded road.

"Of course there is no problem with this, but I don't know how to collect the cost of buying the mountain land and the subsequent taxes?" Liao Qing smiled.

In terms of tax, you can get back what kind of carvings you sell in a year.

For Liao Qing, getting money was very simple.

"One acre of mountainous land is one silver coin, and the annual tax is [-] cents." The county magistrate Zhu smiled more sincerely.

He could tell that even though Liao Juren had settled down here, he was not short of money at all. If you pay well, it will be easier to move around in the future.

"Well... that's okay, when will the adults send someone to make an appointment with the boy?" The price is far less expensive than Liao Qing imagined.

He didn't know, at this time, whoever bought land not for farming, and if they had spare money to buy mountainous land that didn't produce anything, it would really be a waste of money.

Liao Qing is a money burner, quickly completed the formalities, said goodbye to the county magistrate, took a master, eight yamen servants, Liao Qing and Zhang Xiaoli back to make an appointment.

It was inconvenient for the servants to go see it again. When they met a busy county magistrate, Liao Qing had just finished speaking the last moment, and the county magistrate Zhu asked the master to take someone to accompany Liao Qing and go straight back to the appointment site.

The road was bumpy, and a few people got out of the car and rushed to the place Liao Qing was going to buy.

The hut mountain behind the village does not occupy much land, but the circle is not narrow, and more land at the foot of the mountain is enough to build a village.

Those gossips in the village saw Liao Qing and Zhang Xiaoli leading a few yamen servants to run to the back of the mountain. They all seemed to have some earth-shattering gossip, said a few words in a hurry, and hurriedly followed like they were on a hot wheel. go up.

Liao Qing didn't care, anyway, those villagers were a little afraid of the yamen servant with a big knife hanging from his waist, and they didn't dare to get too close, and they didn't dare to speak nonsense loudly for them to hear.

Halfway through the walk, the village head followed and gave Liao Qing a look.

what happened?

Liao Qing read out what the village chief meant.

Liao Qing was too lazy to deal with this person, so he simply pretended not to see the village chief's wink.

The village head was a little angry.

Especially when he knew that Liao Qing skipped him and went directly to the county government to buy land.

With such a large piece of land, he can get 20 taels of profit from it!

Not to mention, he has been doing things for others and accepting gifts from others. Mr. Liao just skipped him, so how can he not be angry.

The village head followed angrily, but he didn't dare to turn his head directly in front of the yamen servant and went back, so he could only follow behind depressed.

"Okay, eight of you go to make an appointment, and make an appointment firmly." The master ordered.

This is obvious slang, to be tighter, it is to let a few government servants not add up to the acre when they make an appointment for land, and just forget the rest, and at the same time, don't charge for an acre.

It can be regarded as a good sale to Liao Qing.

Sure enough, Liao Qing nodded, and stuffed another small silver ingot into the master.

The village head and the crowd of villagers who watched the excitement behind were sharp-eyed. It was a silver ingot of twelve taels!

The scene became silent in an instant.

Ten taels of silver is just a dot!

If there were some sour things to say before, the eyes of those present now only have silver in their eyes, so they looked at Liao Qing as if they were looking at a golden mountain!

Zhang Xiaoli tugged Liao Qing, and nodded with his chin towards the villagers behind him.

Liao Qing didn't care too much, just patted Zhang Xiaoli's head, but did not restrain himself.

Zhang Xiaoli blushed and hid behind Liao Qing.

Master Qin, who followed, Menqing, saw that ten taels of silver and the identity of the master, while making things right for Liao Qing, he also slightly frightened those who were ready to move.

"Liao Juren, if you are free on weekdays, you can go to the county government to find me. It's rare to meet someone you can chat with. I hope Liao Juren can move around more!" Master Qin said loudly.

After waiting for about an hour, Liao Qing's legs were sore from standing, and the government servants who went to measure the land finally came back.
