Chapter 218 Buying land and running a wine shop
"Mother can decide on this matter." Wei Ruo didn't want to get involved.
"It's like this. Mother heard that the land near Fucheng is relatively barren. If it is cultivated directly, the yield will not be considerable." Yun said.
It’s all about this point, there’s no reason why Wei Ruo doesn’t understand.
This is because of Wei Ruo's ability to improve the soil, and I want Wei Ruo to help improve his own property in order to have a good harvest this year.
Wei Ruo knew that he couldn't refuse, so he said, "I'll go and have a look after my mother buys it."
A smile suddenly appeared on Yun's face, and then he said: "In addition, Ruo'er, where did you get the rice seeds you planted in the south of the city last year, can you get some more this year? This kind of rice is planted in Zhuangzi everywhere, so the output of Zhuangzi this year should be much better than last year."
"I can help contact the Huzhou government." Wei Ruo didn't refuse, but only agreed to help contact. If you want rice seeds, you have to spend money from the school captain's mansion.
Wei Ruo agreed so happily, Yun Shi was even happier.
After talking about the business, Yun rarely chatted with Wei Ruo: "What has Ruoer been doing these days?"
Wei Ruo didn't answer right away, but looked at Yun with suspicion.
Yun Shi explained: "Don't worry, Mother won't be angry with you, as long as you wear a veil when you go out, don't have contact with strange men, and don't do anything wrong outside, Mother will not interfere with your going out."
This is the only one in Taizhou Prefecture. You can go in and out of Miss Qianjin so freely, and you can't find a second one in Taizhou Prefecture.
"Yes." Wei Ruo responded without much joy.
Immediately afterwards, Yun said: "And after the Zhuangzi in Fucheng is purchased, you can go to your own Zhuangzi. Mother will let everyone in the Zhuangzi follow your command, and you can arrange it according to your preferences."
"No need." Wei Ruo said.
"Why?" Yun asked.
"When Mr. Wang comes back after the Chinese New Year, I will have to study hard, and the time to go outside is not very fixed. And I don't want to treat this as a task that must be completed, so that I will not do it so happily." Wei Wei Ruo explained.
Yun frowned slightly, but it was good to think about it carefully.
"That's fine, you can arrange it yourself." Yun didn't insist.
###
After the beginning of spring, the weather starts to warm up, getting warmer every day.
The farmers got busy, and Wei Ruo also started to get busy.
Although Yun’s side has stopped saying anything, Wei Ruo will still be more cautious when going in and out, and can’t do too much to avoid being talked about.
She is not afraid of damage to her reputation. She didn't plan to marry a wealthy family. She doesn't care much about this reputation. Maybe creating a bad reputation will help her achieve her goals.
It's just that she has too many things to do right now, and she doesn't want to be distracted by unimportant things. If something happens, she probably won't be able to relax.
In addition to the things in the village, the brewery that Wei Ruo planned at the end of last year is also on the agenda.
First of all, Wei Ruode talked about the piece of land on the Daqing Mountain Valley that Wei Ruode had taken a fancy to a few days ago. That piece of land was finally selected by Wei Ruo and Xiumei after looking around.
If you want to buy this place, you need to communicate with the villagers of Wang Village near Daqing Mountain.
It is not as simple as before. Wei Ruo encountered a little problem in this negotiation.
The villagers of the village to which the mountainous land belongs agrees with Wei Ruo to buy the land and use their spring, but the village chief disagrees.
The reason why the village chief disagreed was that it would damage the feng shui of their village, so Wei Ruo made an appointment with the people in the village to have a detailed discussion at the entrance of the village.
In front of the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village, an Eight Immortals table was placed in the open air, and people from every family in the village were sent over.
At one end of the Eight Immortals table sat the most prestigious village head in the village, in his fifties, with gray hair and beard, and a thin face.
At the other end sat Wei Ruo dressed in men's clothing, followed by Xiumei and Guanshi Yu who were also dressed in men's clothing.
Most people in this village are surnamed Wang, only a few households came later with other surnames, but the right to speak is still in the hands of the Wang clan.
"Daqing Mountain is the feng shui mountain of our Wang Village. If outsiders like you often come in and out and use our water source, it will have a great impact on the luck of our village. Just twenty taels of silver wants to send us away. , Absolutely not!” Village Chief Wang said sternly.
Besides, a villager persuaded: "Village chief, the twenty taels of silver is used to buy the land, and in the future, there will be two hundred and fifty taels of mountain spring water to use the gold!"
There are twenty-five households in their village, and the twenty taels of silver are distributed according to the account. Each family can get nearly one tael of silver, and then ten taels of silver every year. This is not a small sum!
The small piece of land on the mountain is of no use to their village, and the road mountain spring is not used by their village at ordinary times, it is just one of the tributaries of the small stream in their village, and it is really a lot of ten coins per household every year! Many people go out to work for others and can't earn much money for a month!
"Shut up, I'm the village chief, you have to listen to me!" Village chief Wang stopped the villagers from speaking.
He saw at a glance just now that the young man who came to buy land from them was rich and young, so the price could definitely be negotiated.
"How much money does the village chief think it should be?" Wei Ruo asked.
"The one-time purchase of the land costs one hundred taels of silver, and after that, one thousand taels of silver will be paid every year for the use of mountain spring water." Village Chief Wang said.
Hearing that, the villagers behind Village Chief Wang all showed surprised expressions.
One hundred taels of silver! Enough to buy a hundred acres of fields!
And what this young master Xu wants to buy is only a small piece of land in the valley, less than five acres!
The price is too high.
Wei Ruo still had a smile on his face and didn't answer right away.
Village head Wang is very confident: "Master Xu, actually I know that you have been looking for a suitable place around here since the end of last year. Since you have taken a fancy to Daqingshan, I think there is something very attractive about Daqingshan. of."
Wei Ruodao: "Village Chief Wang, the place in Daqingshan and the spring water really attract me, but the price you offered is a bit too high."
Village Chief Wang said: "Mr. Xu is full of noble spirit, so he is definitely not someone who lacks these silver taels. As the saying goes, it is hard to buy a good heart. If you go to other places, you will not be so satisfied."
Wei Ruo had a smile on his lips, knowing that the village chief knew that she had chosen Daqingshan after a long period of research, so he had the confidence to raise the price on the ground.
Wei Ruo continued: "I can agree to increase the land purchase price from 22 taels to 25 taels, and then the annual fee for using the mountain spring water will still be 250 yuan."
