Nongmen Shenjue

The horse looked mighty, but it was uncomfortable to ride, so Mu Qingyan kept a respectful distance from it.

"I still have something to do in my shop. Let's talk about it after lunch. You can go back to the city first." Regardless of whether it was invited by the county magistrate, Mu Qingyan is not in a hurry.

Furthermore, he was engaged in this line of work in his previous life, and he had been involved with too many cases, big and small, and had seen too many sinister people, and too many human relationships, so that it was difficult for him to be moved by any case, and eventually he developed his indifferent temperament.

"Aren't your two younger brothers here?" He Chuan couldn't understand his thoughts. From his point of view, it was all about making money, how many copper coins a day to open a shop?He is talented, it costs hundreds of taels of silver to complete the case, and he is valued by the county magistrate, so he should be active.

"They are still young and don't know how to cook." Mu Qingyan said again: "If you are in a hurry, help me organize something."

Chen Shiliu stopped He Chuan, who was still trying to persuade him, and said enthusiastically, "Brother Mu, just tell us, we will do well."

"It's not difficult. One disappeared and the other murdered. Sort out their relevant materials, who they had contacted with before they disappeared, where they went, and the streets they walked." At the end, he added: "Chen Shiliu, you Don't you want to break the game by God, organize it well, your own God Break also belongs to your own dossier materials."

Chen Shiliu nodded again and again: "Brother Mu, you are right. This is simple. I have it in the yamen, including the content of the autopsy. I can get it."

"Brother, you stay." Mu Qingyan remembered that he had something to tell him.

Before Chen Shiliu left, he did not forget to pack a portion of fish head tofu soup in an earthen jar.

Mu Lin was a little nervous, thinking that he would ask what he had missed before, but he didn't know that he brought up the marriage.

"Brother doesn't want to mention the matter of the Yu family anymore?" Mu Qingyan asked him in confirmation.

Mu Lin's face was calm: "The marriage is meant to be reconciled. Since the reconciliation has not reached one place, I can only say that I have no fate with the Yu family girl. I won't mention this matter."

"What kind of girl does eldest brother like?" Mu Qingyan asked again.

Mu Lin was a little embarrassed, and coughed lightly to cover up: "Why do you ask this, you can still tell me a daughter-in-law."

Mu Qingyan was not a modern person, so he encouraged him with a smile: "Brother, you can find someone who can sleep well."

Although there are many restraints on women nowadays, it is the boudoir ladies who do not leave the door and do not step outside the door. Ordinary women from common people still have to go out when they should go out.Mu Lin is a fast-moving policeman again, and he has contacted many people. It is normal to really know a young girl.

"Go, go, don't worry about my business." Mullin is not used to talking about these things.

"You can ignore the elder brother's matter, but what about the elder sister's matter? Her marriage should also be mentioned." What Mu Qingyan really wanted to talk about was Mu Wan.

"Xiao Wan." No matter how careless Mu Lin was, he knew what was on his sister's mind. Before, he thought that Zhao He would come back and ask him personally, but he said he would not come back this year. "Xiaowan is a girl's family, so we really can't delay. Let's send a message to Xiaowan to find relatives first. If the Zhao family is interested, they will definitely come to ask."

If you don't ask, the two families have no fate, and Mu Wan doesn't have to wait for Zhao He.

Mu Qingyan nodded, and said again: "Brother is often in the yamen, I take Xiaowen and Xiaowu at the ferry, only the elder sister and younger sister are left in the family, and it is too hard to farm the land and manage the house."

Mu Lin also frowned: "That's true."

Mu Lin loves his younger siblings. In the past, his family was poor and had no choice but now that he has some savings, he also hates his younger siblings to suffer.It's just that he was a good job in the Yamen, and the family's situation began to improve after he became a catcher.If Mu Wan doesn't go to farm, what will happen to the family's field?They are extremely reluctant to sell them. In their hearts, the land is the foundation. As long as they have land, no matter how poor or miserable they are, they can still eat.

Earlier, Mu Wan was happy and said that she would add a few acres of land to her family.

Mullin thought so too.

Thinking about it, he said, "Why don't we let Xiaowen and Xiaowu go home and let my younger sister come over to help?"

At present, the nine-year-old Mu Xiu is not considered a little girl anymore, she can't do heavy work, but it is enough to wash and brush in the shop.Only Mu Qingyan is not an ancient person, in his opinion, Mu Xiu is just a little girl and the youngest in the family, how could she be allowed to work as a child laborer.Mu Wenmu Wu is relatively stronger, although he is 12 years old, he has a strong physique.

"The younger sister is too young. Besides, the family is much better. She is a little girl and the youngest, so she should be pampered. Even the eldest sister has suffered a lot, and at most she can only stay at home for two years." For three years, I still want my eldest sister to enjoy the blessings." Mu Qingyan also spoke the truth, he didn't have money in his hands, and the Mu family is not a master of spending money and extravagance, his money is enough for them to live comfortably and securely up.

Mu Lin's eyes were full of guilt when he heard the words: "It's all useless for the big brother."

Mu Qingyan said with a smile: "What did the elder brother say? If the elder brother didn't support this family, the family wouldn't be able to survive." He said seriously: "Elder sister is stubborn, she will definitely not listen to a few words of persuasion, it is better for me Let's do it privately with Big Brother, and give her a surprise."

"Ah? What surprise?" Mu Lin felt that the topic changed too quickly, and he didn't understand.

"Eldest sister is also scared, and wants to save some money. Besides, eldest sister is very keen on buying land. I think, elder brother will look for someone in the yamen to see where there is a suitable field, and then move it from me. Some money to buy the land." Seeing that Mu Lin was going to refuse, he added: "This is the dowry I prepared in advance for the eldest sister. No matter who the eldest sister will marry in the future, it is not a bad thing to have a richer dowry."

Mu Lin opened his mouth, unable to say no, after all he also wanted to prepare a generous dowry for Mu Wan.

"Then, how many acres to buy?" Mu Lin couldn't help but feel excited when he thought of buying land.

"Brother, let's inquire first. At least one or twenty acres must be bought."

Mu Lin was surprised: "So much? The land price in our county is not cheap."

At present, land prices are not the same in different provinces. Although there are gradings for fields, due to regional differences, there will be a price difference of one to two, or even four to five, between the same fields.

Fenglin County has a lot of flat and good fields, but compared to the population, it is not enough.In addition, Fenglin County is located in a prosperous place, and there are many foreign businessmen, and many people buy houses and land here, which invisibly raises the price of goods, and the fields naturally rise.

Nowadays, the price of land is relatively stable, and ordinary people can't touch the first-class fertile and good fields, and one mu of medium-sized fields costs seven to eight taels.If you really want to buy 60 mu of land, you will need [-] taels of silver.

Mullin was not only speechless about the cost, but also worried about how to cultivate it after buying it.

"Second brother, our family is short of labor, so many places..."

"You can hire someone to farm, or rent it out to others, or else, buy a few people to take care of it." Mu Qingyan prefers to buy people.Although buying and selling human beings violated the law in his previous life, he really didn't have any objection to it. In his opinion, this is doing as the Romans do. He didn't buy people to kill or have fun, but just for convenience and safety.

Mu Lin looked at him blankly: "...Second brother, are you all ready?"

Mu Lin also didn't think there was anything wrong with buying people, and he didn't even object to buying people by himself, which was abnormal for ordinary farmers' families.If it was Mu Wan, she would definitely not be as calm as Mu Lin.

"Brother, don't you think it's not good? After earning the reward money from the yamen, you can buy land and build a house..." He smiled narrowly: "Tell me a daughter-in-law again!"

Mu Lin was a little uncomfortable, but after all, he was a brother, so he laughed in a flash: "I have no objection, as long as you are not afraid that your elder sister will chase you and scold you."

After the joke, Mu Lin thought to himself: Why wait to buy land and build a house, but buy two people for the second brother first.
