Chapter 68 Thirty acres of land
Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/ The latest work of Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng!
It turns out that these officials would not go to explore the land on the spot. Chen Cheng said on the road that the land in the southwest is still fertile, and these officials only read the text according to the script.
But that's good, it can lower the price.
Chen Kanggong bowed and said, "Student Chen Kang made a bold statement."
Hearing that he called himself a student, Guan Ya nodded quickly and raised his hand and said, "Please speak with Xiaolang."
Chen Kang's eyes shining brightly, and he said calmly: "The students' families are poor, but the old parents have saved money and squeezed out money to pay for the money in recent years, so as to support the boy and his brother in various fields. The land is not afraid of barren land, but our children are not afraid of hard work, and can always fatten the land."
He said this to tell Guanya that his family has no money and that he is a scholar, so he asked for a high price.
Guanya has been in the officialdom for a long time, so how could he not understand this? When he thought about their voluntary business, he had already advised him, so he would do what he wanted.
The chief clerk on the side said slowly: "In recent years, those with a lot of land have been the upper households, and the grain tax should be paid has gradually increased. In the market for one or two years, the family business has been abandoned. Therefore, people are tired and are unwilling to buy land, and the price is very low. Usually, ten taels and one acres are only four or five taels now. Don't bully farmers' families and don't understand the market."
Guanya's eyes rolled, and his face filled with smiles, "Since it's a barren mountain and poor land, it's worth three taels of silver per acre. What's the point of giving the little man a wish?"
Chen Kang frowned slightly, but looked up at Chen Cheng and Yang Chengli.
Three taels of silver, then if you buy thirty acres of land, you will cost ninety taels!
Chen Cheng looked at Yang Chengli hesitantly. Yang Chengli stumbled for a moment and bowed: "Sir, can you take care of me? The Shen family is a famous family of Jishan in the village. They have always been friendly neighbors, kind and have never owed a single grain tax."
"Ah..." Guan Ya nodded and said, "Then you will be five cents of silver lower than each acre."
"Miss, how much do I buy?" Chen Cheng asked in a low voice.
Chen Kang answered with a firm heart and smiled and said, "Thirty acres."
"Ah?" Guan Ya was stunned. Thirty acres of land were not something ordinary farmers could do! He turned his eyes to the chief clerk, but the chief clerk did not react at all, and just looked at Chen Kang with a smile.
Guan Ya came back to her senses and looked at Yang Chengli and said, "I have now cut the grain chief and returned to the post of the village chief. Yang Xianggong holds a heavy responsibility. When the grain tax is paid in the autumn, don't grind your teeth with the official family, so that the young people will be difficult to do."
Yang Chengli sighed, and he felt sarcastic about the official's teeth and laughed, but inside he was a fanged belly. The barren mountains and wild areas where no one was in the market, the grain tax did not help reduce the amount.
It’s not that he doesn’t believe in the integrity of the Shen family, but that he is really afraid that they will buy land for nothing and cannot grow food. He doesn’t regret it even if he kills him?
The Shen family's father and son did not speak, and Yang Chengli replied: "I am only a mile long, so how dare I disturb the officials because of tax payments."
Guan Ya smiled, stood up and said, "Come and sign the red contract."
Chen Cheng quickly replied: "Yes."
The chief clerk said, "Please ask Mr. Yang and the buyer to do it." He turned his eyes to Chen Kang and said, "Xiao Lang is weak, so he stays here for some tea, etc."
Chen Kang's smile froze slightly, and he turned to his father and said, "Go to Dad, I'm just a little thirsty."
Chen Cheng nodded and instructed: "Don't run around." He carried the heavy silver and went to go through the procedures with the official teeth.
At this time, the chief clerk said: "Chen Xiaolang, the county master has been waiting for a long time."
Chen Kang let out a long sigh and followed him around and walked out of the small hall with a good look.
In the main hall, Xiping County Zun Zhang Chong was wearing a regular dress and was waiting inside. Chen Kang walked into the door, and the chief clerk stepped back out of the door of the door to close the door.
"Boy Chen Kang, I have met the county's parents." Chen Kang Chang gave a tribute and raised his body calmly.
Zhang Chong was about fifty years old, with a long, thin face and gray beard, which made him look longer. He stood up, slowly showed a smile, and said indifferently: "Are you Chen Kang who is fighting Xie Jing's wisely?"
Chen Kang thought to himself, could this matter be over again, and Langran bowed: "It's exactly what a boy."
Zhang Chong looked at him up and down, laughing so hard that he couldn't stop and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, it's true that a hero is a young man, brave and resourceful, brave and resourceful."
Chen Kang raised his eyebrows and frowned slightly. What is the situation? How could this county master know that that matter was his own arrangement?
Zhang Chong laughed several times again and said, "You go out first. After the county has handled official duties, you can come with Mr. Yang to have tea."
"Yes." Chen Kang felt like a young wife was seeing her parents-in-law, but what else could he say... He just silently left the door, and returned to the small hall just now with the kind but not talking head.
At this time, Liu Yuan slowly walked out from behind the screen on the side and hummed, "Zhang Shiren, you have seen him. If he makes any mistakes in Xiping County in the future, hum!"
Zhang Chong rolled his eyes and said, "I just now, I don't know which gentleman said that his students are rare. How could such a prodigal son fail? After many years of not seeing you, why did you have more problems in protecting your shortcomings? It's really a joke and a joke."
Liu Yuan took a sip of tea lightly and his smile became deeper and deeper: "You, take care of him for me."
Like everyone who knew Liu Yuan well, Zhang Chong knew that the more Liu Yuan smiled, the more angry he became. He hurriedly said, "Forget it, I understand."
Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I still have to visit Mr. Haoran. It's getting late, so I'll say goodbye."
"Here you leave?" Zhang Chong stood up and said, "You and I haven't seen each other for many years. If you hadn't come to the door today, I wouldn't have known that you were hiding in Xianan Village. It happened that Lu Shengyuan, Ding's father, came back to Runing, and I sent someone to find him. You and I have to drink a drink anyway!"
Liu Yuan thought for a while and said, "I still need to give lectures tomorrow, so I can't delay it too late."
Zhang Chong said: "I will never delay you. I will definitely send you out of the city when I close the city gate!"
"In this way...then you're more respectful than obedience."
"Okay, okay!" Zhang Chong showed a comfortable smile, recalling the past when Liu Yuan, Zhang Chong and Lu Tong met in Taihang Mountain.
Lu Tong, a young hero, saved Liu and Zhang from the hands of the green forest alone. Liu Yuan was arrogant and wrote aloof, which was impressive. Zhang Chong was ambitious and sincere. The three of them traveled together to visit famous mountains.
After leaving for several years, old friends reunite, how can it not be delighted!
Here, Liu Yuan said goodbye to Zhang Chong for the time being, went to visit famous scholars, rode out of the county government and rushed to Lin County to find people. The thirty acres of land bought by the Shen family had already delivered the red contract, which was considered legal.
Yang Chengli and others met the county master again, so they said hello, so they turned back to the west street of the county to meet with Chen Chang.
Chen Cheng patted the letters on his chest from time to time, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time. He bought some incense and drove out of the city. Along the way, Chen Chang sang a simple and cheerful tune and the group was happy.
"I'll go, my mother, run away! Can you escape? Let me tell you, if you don't hand over the money today, I will make you regret crawling out of the womb!"
A burst of insults suddenly came from the street. Chen Kang looked up and saw a group of men dressed in short clothes gathering together. He didn't have time to hit his body. The crying of women and the wailing of men were intertwined, making people feel scared.
