Mountain People

Chapter 82: The world, buy more land

    "This gold leaf is very thin, so no one can find it hidden like this, not even a tael of gold, if it is replaced with silver, it will probably have sixty or seventy taels, make up for these Silver, even if it can't surround the entire valley, it can surround a big yard."

    "This... this can't be done!" Although Hao loved the golden leaf very much, the right and wrong were very clear. The golden leaf was Liu Yueyi's dowry, and their family couldn't do it with a daughter-in-law's dowry. matter.

    Uncle Qin nodded and agreed with Hao's meaning, "We still have money in our family, and all the bricks we used to build the house were bought by Chenghu and his wife, and the price is not expensive. Really think about the yard."

    Seeing that they were undecided, Gu Shuixiu laughed, "Uncle, auntie, what's so difficult about this? Why don't you build a village, and then buy the land between the house and the fields, Then build a high and thick wall and turn it into a village like a rich family. Isn’t this safe? Even if you go to work in the field, you don’t have to worry about running into danger.”

    Uncle Qin was very moved by what Gu Shuixiu said, but he still had some concerns about them.

    "If we buy other fields in this way and then enclose it, our money will not be enough. Our family can never use a daughter-in-law's dowry, but Shuixiu can do it. Let's work hard. Come again in the new year, or when Chuan’er marries a wife, let’s discuss how to build it together.”

    "Uncle, did you forget that our two lands are connected?" Zuo Qingsong was reluctantly forced to speak. Having a neighbor like him!

    Uncle Qin slapped his head.

    "Look at my memory! This is not a happy talk, I didn't take this matter into consideration for a while, nephew, don't be offended!"

    What can Zuo Qingsong say?

    "Uncle, you don't have enough money to build a village, why don't you join me? How about we wrap up the flat land in the valley as much as possible?"

    "Hey!" Uncle Qin was shocked by Zuo Qingsong's big breath and took a deep breath. He wrapped the flat land in the valley. There are at least more than 100 acres, even if one acre counts as 500 wen , that would cost more than fifty taels of silver. Even if the two families shared it equally, the family would have to pay more than twenty taels. In addition to the money for the fence, the family would spend about sixty or seventy taels, which is not a small sum.

    "Uncle, what I mean is that let's buy all the flat land first, and the matter of enclosing the village will be done later when we have money. After all, we won't panic if there is land."

    Zuo Qingsong thinks so but has a plan.

    Uncle Qin hadn't spoken yet, but Liu Yueyi did, "Father-in-law, I think what Brother Zuo said makes sense, we've seen too much on the way from Jiankang to Yongjia County, the world is not peaceful, Burning, killing and looting are already commonplace, and I am not afraid to say things I shouldn't say here.

      When it came to the prime minister, he heard the wind and changed his mood. Some princes with little military power in the royal family were not used to the prime minister's monopoly power and the prime minister.

    There are also many self-organized rebels from the people who plan to go to health and attack the court. If it is just a mob, I would not be afraid, but I once eavesdropped on my father and a guest. An organization has been plotting for a long time, intending to attack Jiankang in one fell swoop.

    At that time, I was scared to death, but it didn't take long for something to happen at home, so I don't know what the situation is now, but we know that we need to be peaceful and comfortable in the deep mountains, and others will think the same way, Taking advantage of the fact that no one has hit us with an idea yet, it is only right that we buy the land first. "

    Uncle Qin was persuaded by Liu Yueyi. After thinking about paying for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said as if he made up his mind: "Okay, then let's buy together and buy all the flat land in the valley. !"

    When Mrs. Hao heard the chaos outside, her heart twitched, and she asked in horror: "Yueyi, is it so uneasy outside? Someone would really come to our deep mountain. Buying land? There are a lot of beasts in this deep mountain!”

      , since you have made up your mind to buy the land, do it as soon as possible, and let the mayor go to the county for the record as soon as possible, and someone from the province will bypass the mayor and start from the county magistrate, then we will not be able to compete with others."

    Uncle Qin became nervous after Gu Shuixiu said this, and secretly decided to set off for Panlong Town early tomorrow morning, and then give the mayor some benefits and ask him to work hard.

    After this night's conversation, Uncle Qin didn't sleep well all night, and called Zuo Qingsong out together before dawn the next day.

    Dong Yunmei has nothing during the day and sleeps a lot. She always wakes up early every day to cook for everyone. Seeing Zuo Qingsong and the others about to go out, she unexpectedly took the initiative to speak.

    "You haven't eaten breakfast, why don't you wait for me to post a few pancakes for you before going out?"

    When Zuo Qingsong heard this, he couldn't move his legs, and nodded in agreement.

    Uncle Qin saw Zuo Qingsong's answer, so naturally he also waited for Dong Yunmei to post the cake, but Uncle Qin couldn't be idle, so he went out to hunt while he was, and only said to let Zuo Qingsong get better find him.

    Only Zuo Qingsong and Dong Yunmei were left awake in the entire Dong family. Dong Yunmei was busy in the kitchen, and Zuo Qingsong was doing nothing in the yard, so he simply went into the kitchen to help Dong Yunmei make a fire.

    As soon as Dong Yunmei saw that Zuo Qingsong's movements were inflexible, she always made mistakes.

    "Yunmei, you don't have to keep your distance from me all the time, I know you don't plan to get married now, and I won't force you, are we still good friends like when we were young? Etc. When you figure it out, tell me again, I can wait." Zuo Qingsong casually threw firewood at the stove, focusing on Dong Yunmei.

    Listening to Zuo Qingsong's words, Dong Yunmei's tears fell unsatisfactorily. This time Liu Yueyi's arrival made her understand that she cared about Zuo Qingsong and did not want Zuo Qingsong to marry someone else. But she herself has such a condition, how can she be worthy of Zuo Qingsong?

    Now Zuo Qingsong actually said that she was willing to wait for her, how could she not be moved?

    "I'm not..." Dong Yunmei was so choked that she was speechless.

      things will be fine.”
