  Chapter 80 Twenty Acres of Land

   "North Country?" Xiao Rui said, "But Miss Nangong said she found it from the mountain? Is that businessman lying?"

  Shen Kaiyu said: "It is estimated that the businessman said this deliberately in order to let A Xu buy it. Otherwise, how could Miss Nangong find garlic?"

  Dugu Huanxu said: "Have you ever paid attention to whether there is garlic in the fief?"

  The two shook their heads at the same time.

  Dugu Huanxu said: "Forget it, no matter where the garlic came from, it's not good for us to talk about the doctor who treated me behind my back, so let's stop here."

  Xiao Ruiyan was surprised and said, "Aren't you going to investigate?"

  Dugu Huanxu said: "No, anyway, that girl will never hurt me, otherwise she wouldn't save me."

"makes sense."

   On the other hand, after the guests left, Nangong Anshan asked other family members to feed the sheep, and then started making her soy sauce again.

  Soy sauce is not like other oils, and there are many processes. It takes as little as one month and as many as three months to make it.

   Two days later

  The verdict on Li Fangfang has also come down.

  Although Li Fangfang insisted that she had no intention of killing people, the county magistrate believed that she had the intention of killing people by setting the fire.

   Moreover, what Li Wang hates the most is that someone commits a crime by pretending to be a ghost, so she was sentenced to a felony.

   But there were no serious consequences, so she didn't kill her.

  The magistrate of the county sentenced Li Fangfang to a heavy punishment of 100 boards, imprisoned for one month, and then sent to the mine to do five years of hard labor, during which no one was allowed to visit.

  After the Li family found out, they also went to Nangong Anshan to make trouble, but Zhou Lizheng threatened to drive their family out of the village if they made trouble again, so they didn't dare to make trouble anymore.

  One day, when Nangong Anshan went up the mountain to collect herbs, she suddenly found someone building a house on the mountain.

  She went up to ask, and when she heard that people from the city were coming to recuperate, she stopped asking.

In the following days, Nangong Anshan was the same as before, collecting herbs one day, and selling them the next day. When she had one hundred and fifty taels of silver in her hand, she went to find Long Lianqi .

  Of course, during this period, all the rice seedlings of her family have been transplanted into the field by Cao Zhenya and others.

  The seeds obtained from the official sent exactly to plant all seven acres of land.

  Qiu would sometimes follow her, wanting to follow her to collect herbs.

   Of course, not once did it work.

   Either she was dumped, or she scared her away with a poisonous snake.

  Her soy sauce is also brewing smoothly, and it will be ready to eat soon.

  After listening to what Nangong Anshan said, Long Lianqi said: "Miss Nangong, you said you want to buy land?"

   "Yes." Nangong Anshan said: "I have a lot of things I want to grow, and I want to buy more land to grow."

  Now that most of the rice seedlings have been planted, she is not as busy as before, so she can take the opportunity to find more people to help her farm.

  Long Lianqi said: "How much do you want to buy?"

   "How much is the land here per mu?"

"Generally speaking, good farmland costs eight taels of silver per mu, but you also know the situation in Liuye Village. There is no cultivated farmland around. You can only buy wasteland and reclaim it yourself. This kind of wasteland is cheaper. Originally, when everything was peaceful, we needed six taels of silver per mu, but now that King Li is encouraging the people from outside to open up wasteland, we only need four taels of silver per mu."

   Nangong Anshan thought for a while, and said, "Then I will buy twenty acres of land."

   Four taels of silver is not expensive.

  She also needs to leave some money to pay wages to those who build the house, as well as money for furniture, and wages to those who open up wasteland.

  Long Lianqi also knew that she had recently made some money selling herbal medicines, and said, "A total of 80 taels of land would cost 20 mu."

   "Well, I'm all set."

   "Okay." Long Lianqi said: "Then I will go to survey the land with you now, and after the survey is completed, I will go to the county with you to apply for the land deed."

   It turns out that they have been staying in Liuye Village for this purpose.

   Nangong Anshan nodded: "Okay, let's go together."

"Um."

   "However, Brother Long, I have a question I want to ask you."

"Just ask."

   "Li Wang stipulates that half of the land of each family must be used to grow food. The rice and wheat are mainly grown here. Now it is past the time to plant rice and wheat. Can we grow other food?"

   "Yes, after the time of planting rice and wheat, you can grow other things, such as vegetables, and you can also grow ramie, which is used to make clothes, but starting next year, you will have to farm according to the rules."

"I understand."

  The two went to the county together.

  Li Wang now encourages the people to buy land to open up wasteland, and Long Lianqi takes him with him, and the land deed is done very smoothly.

  She told her family members before she came, and they all said to write her name, and she had no objection. In the future, if the family needs it, she can just transfer the ownership.

  Before going home, she went to the county government office and told Dugu Huanxu, asking him to find time to go to Liuye Village, the workshop was about to be completed.

  Afterwards, she and Long Lianqi went to Kaoshan Village. Seeing that her furniture would be ready in two days, she asked him to send all the furniture to Liuye Village in three days.

  Her family's house is almost built, and now it is mainly to dig a well and lay stone slabs in the yard, which can be completed in two days.

  After going back, she went to Cao Zhenya immediately.

  After hearing what Nangong Anshan said, Cao Zhenya asked in surprise, "Ashan, you bought land again?"

  These days are the slack time for farming, and she is worrying about having no income. She didn't expect Ah Shan to buy so much land again.

   "Yes." Nangong Anshan said: "So I need Aunt Lao to help me find someone to farm."

  Cao Zhenya excitedly said: "Don't worry, I will let people plant it well. It's just that the time for planting rice and wheat has passed, what do you plan to plant?"

  Nangong Anshan said: "I have already found the seeds to grow food, and my aunt will know when all the land is reclaimed."

  Cao Zhenya said: "Okay, then I will inform my sisters now, and then find some people. I will bring them to you at that time, and you can decide whether to use them or not."

   "Well, this time because we have to open up wasteland, the work is very tiring, and men are also welcome. If there are men who are willing, you can let them do it."

"it is good."

  Nangong Anshan said some more words, and took Cao Zhenya to look at her newly bought land, and asked her to remember the exact location before returning home.

  After lunch, Cao Zhenya brought over the people she was looking for, a total of 30 people, including the person she found for the first time to plant the seven acres of land, a total of forty people.

She saw that all the people who came here were people who had no holidays with her family. After engraving everyone's names on the bamboo slips, she nodded with satisfaction, "It's just you, it's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. Let's go to open up wasteland now. I will start from today." I will calculate your wages for you this afternoon."
