Chapter 170
Jiang Yichen looked at the village chief, waiting for the conditions he offered.

"If the village chief has any request, just ask, as long as we can get it, we will not refuse."

The village head shook his head, "Mr. Jiang misunderstood. The reason why the wasteland became a wasteland is because it is some distance from the river, so it is not convenient to irrigate."

"Someone tried to farm there before, but unfortunately the growth of the crops can't compare to our ordinary fertile land. If you grow medicinal materials there, I'm afraid it won't be much better."

There are quite a lot of wasteland near the back mountain, Jiang Yichen had already noticed it when he first came to Chen Xing Village.

He naturally knew what the village chief said.

But he believed in Gu Manxiu, since Gu Manxiu said that she wanted the wasteland over there, she must have her own way to irrigate the fields.

"Miss Gu must have considered this matter, but since she can come to you to buy wasteland, she should have a solution."

Hearing Jiang Yichen's insistence, the village chief couldn't refuse anymore.

But because of Jiang Yichen's status, he still reminded him.

"There is a lot of wasteland on the back mountain. I figured there should be more than ten acres of land. Will Mr. Jiang buy it?"

Jiang Yichen nodded, "Buy them all, since we want to open up wasteland, why don't we open up all that land."

Hearing this, the village chief wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to persuade Jiang Yichen, so he could only keep his mouth shut silently.

Although Jiang Yichen's household registration is not in Chen Xing Village, but now he is the teacher of Chen Xing Village, and he can still handle property in the government.

Seeing that Jiang Yichen's mind had been made up, the village head got up and said, "In that case, you can follow me to the yamen today."

Jiang Yichen nodded, and directly gave the village chief 50 taels.

Looking at the brand-new silver ingot, the village head only felt flustered.

"Mr. Jiang, you can't use so much money. Although there is a lot of wasteland, it is wasteland after all. 30 taels is enough. Going to the yamen to invite the master and the officials who came to measure the land to drink, you can't use so much money."

Jiang Yichen saw beads of sweat on the village chief's forehead, and knew that he was frightened.

I could only take 30 taels to the village chief again, and another five taels of broken silver to the village chief.

"Five taels of silver and trouble the village chief to pay those officials."

The village head nodded, "I see."

The village chief gave his eldest son some advice, and then went out with Jiang Yichen to handle the property at the government.

Passing by the gate of the small courtyard, the village head stopped.

"Mr. Jiang, do you want to go in and talk to Yuan Shanniang?"

Jiang Yichen nodded, and led the village head into the courtyard together.

In the yard, Gao Yuanshang and Gao Changhe were still struggling to pull the quilt they were going to cover at night, watching Jiang Yichen and the village chief enter the door, and hurriedly yelled at the kitchen.

"Mother, the village chief is here."

The village chief waved his hand, "Don't call your mother, let's go to the government, just say hello to your mother."

Gu Manxiu in the kitchen stopped what she was doing when she heard the commotion outside.

Before she could go out, Jiang Yichen had already entered the door.

"What's the matter? Has the village chief agreed to sell the wasteland?"

Jiang Yichen nodded, "I'm going to the town with the village chief to set up a property right now, and I'll probably bring it back in the afternoon, so there's no need to leave me food."

Gu Manxiu was delighted, wiped her hands and hurried forward.

"Is it enough for you to bring money? Not enough for me to get it for you."

"Enough, you are busy, I will go back."

When Jiang Yichen and the village head arrived at the county government office, they didn't go in directly, but asked the village head to come.

The village chief thought he had other concerns, but he didn't think about it that much.When he came out again, he handed over the land deed to Jiang Yichen.

"Let's go, village chief, I'm afraid there is no food left at home when we go back today, so I invite you to eat in a restaurant."

The village chief wanted to refuse, but seeing that Jiang Yichen was already planning to go to the restaurant, the village chief could only follow quickly.

He was also very apprehensive, after all, this was his first time visiting a restaurant in this town.

"Guest officers, what do you want to order? Our shop has recently launched a lot of new dishes, do you want to try them?"

The village chief looked like an ordinary farmer, but Jiang Yichen's clothes looked expensive.Although Xiao Er didn't understand how such two people walked together, she still greeted him with a wink.

"Let's serve all the new dishes."

The village head hurriedly stopped him, "Mr. Jiang..."

It seemed that the voice was a little louder, Xiaoer and some people in the restaurant looked over.

The village head blushed, and hastily lowered his voice.

"Mr. Jiang, the two of us can't eat that much."

Jiang Yichen said with a smile: "It's okay, if you can't eat it, you can take it home for your family to taste."

Xiaoer on the side also said: "Yes, our food boxes are not expensive here, you can buy one for two taels of silver."

Jiang Yichen led the village head up to the cubicle on the second floor, and the village chief didn't heave a sigh of relief until the door of the cubicle was closed.

In order to ease the tension of the village chief, Jiang Yichen asked about the government's handling of land deeds.

"I don't know when the official will go to the village to measure the land?"

"Several cases of wounding have occurred in the vicinity these days, and the government's police officers are not manned enough. I will go to our village tomorrow to measure the land."

Jiang Yichen nodded, but his eyes flickered when he heard that there was a murderous case in the town.

"Is it still peaceful here for us during this time?"

The village chief sighed, "Our Chen Xing Village is far away from the town, and the thieves have to travel a while to get to the village. Our village is fine. But the people in the town, the villages closer to the town will suffer."

"I heard that many of the homes where the men were not at home were robbed at night. Those with wives and children were either injured or bullied. Our county magistrate sent someone to investigate a few days ago. , I don’t know what happened today.”

When the village chief said this, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

"I heard two days ago that one of the two- and three-year-old babies was thrown to death. I don't know what those beasts are thinking, but they are really vicious."

Jiang Yichen frowned.

"Can the people in the government find no trace of them?"

"Hey, I can't find it anywhere in the government. Those beasts are too rampant. Every time the people from the government rush over, they run away."

Jiang Yichen put down the teacup in his hand, "They? The perpetrator wasn't alone?"

"I don't know the specific circumstances. It is said that they heard several people yelling at night. It is estimated that several people committed the crime together."

Jiang Yichen nodded, and after returning to the village with the village chief, he informed Gu Manxiu of the matter.

"I'm going back to the capital, and I should return in two days. This is the title deed, you take it."

Ever since she found out about Jiang Yichen's thoughts, Gu Manxiu was no longer polite to him.

"I have accepted the title deed, but I am also careful not to be targeted by others."
