From the gate of heaven

Chapter 38 [Clothes come to stretch out hands, rice comes to open mouth, buy land]

Lin Ze sat at the head seat in the restaurant, and four servant girls came with porridge, side dishes and crab roe buns.

In addition, there is a pot of chicken soup.

Lin Ze sat down, surrounded by Yingying and Yanyan.

The four maids took turns feeding Lin Ze, and all he had to do was open his mouth.

These are the breakfasts made by the chef at home for Lin Ze. Although the taste is not much superior to the food in the main world, the feeling of serving Lin Ze exclusively makes people feel a little smug.

"Yi Lai stretches out his hand to eat and opens his mouth. It can be regarded as a preliminary feeling of the quality of life of the rich."

Lin Ze sighed again.

He is rich in the main world, but in order to keep the transaction between the two realms secret, he cannot enjoy the meticulous service he is currently having.

In addition, if you want to enjoy this kind of service in the main world, you don't know how high the service fee is.

"Even for this kind of comfortable life, the business of trading between the two worlds cannot be stopped."

With this thought in mind, Lin Ze started to eat breakfast.

People who practice martial arts have a big appetite, and they also eat a lot of breakfast. Lin Ze wiped out all the breakfasts on the table.

The four maids were not worried about having nothing to eat, as there was still plenty of food in the kitchen.

Although it is not as exquisite as Lin Ze, the master, but it is still full of food.

This is also what Lin Ze told them after hiring the chef yesterday afternoon, to ensure that everyone is full.

When many people outside are hungry and full, these servants can be full and greasy.

They themselves can slowly appreciate Lin Ze's excellent treatment for them, so they will naturally return to their hearts.
-
"The shopkeeper is here."

Lin Ze had just finished his breakfast and sat down to drink tea to digest his food when he received a report from the concierge.

"I think I'm here to buy a field, please come in."

Lin Ze spoke.

Soon, Shi Shanbao stood in front of Lin Ze, and greeted with a smile: "Master Lin, good morning, I have brought the information on the land for sale, please take a look first, if you are interested, we can also go to the field to check."

"Generally speaking, according to the market price, the upper field is 50 taels per mu, the middle field is 30 taels, and the lower field is about 15 taels. Right now, these fields are available in both upper, middle and lower fields. You can choose some that you like, Mr. Lin."

While Shi Shanbao was speaking, he took the box containing the materials from the dental assistant who was following him.

At the end of the dynasty, social order collapsed.

Fields are very cheap, and you can buy fields for a few taels of silver.

But the current Great Zhou Dynasty belongs to its heyday, with a stable social order and a large population, so the value of the land has naturally risen.

For this price, Lin Ze already knew something about it in advance, so it is not particularly strange.

"Give tea to Master Shi."

Lin Ze gave an order.

Then, a simple map was placed in front of Lin Ze, which showed the terrain of the entire Fengping County.

In Fengping County, a large area of ​​its territory belongs to the Yunwu Mountains, but the rest of the area is a rare flat area, and it is close to rivers and has abundant water resources.

Under such circumstances, Fengping County has not a lot of fertile land, and the grain output is abundant.

Because of this, it is called Fengping.

Lin Ze took a look at these fields. Except for a small number of them near the county seat, most of them are distributed in the villages under Fengping County.

Right now is the time when the Great Zhou Dynasty was at its peak. Although land annexation happened from time to time, it was not an exaggeration.

In addition, the weather is good, because there are not many people who can't survive and sell their fields.

In addition, Lin Ze also has those wealthy local families in Fengping County as competitors.

At this moment, the fields that Shi Shanbao brought over for Lin Ze are only 317 mu, but this is already all the land for sale in Fengping County.

If it weren't for Lin Ze's reputation and friendship with the county magistrate, he wouldn't even be eligible to purchase these lands.

After all, in a farming society like the Great Zhou Dynasty, the fields produced food, which was the source of all wealth and the foundation of survival.

The fields are so important that they would be sold out without even having the opportunity to go to the dental clinic.

"A little bit."

Lin Ze said bluntly.

The grain output of the Great Zhou Dynasty was about [-] catties per mu, which is the annual output of one mu of land including multiple cropping.

The output of Zhongtian and Shimoda is lower, only [-] jin and [-] jin respectively.

The entire Fengping County has more than one million mu of arable land, but right now he can only buy more than 300 mu.

Lin Ze's 24 servants have a family of more than 200 people. Many of them are facing the risk of starvation after paying the personal tax and dealing with the occasional corvee.

This is why these servants will sell themselves voluntarily.

In addition to improving the conditions of the family, it is also to keep myself alive.

According to the model of renting landowners and farmers [-]-[-].

If Lin Ze wants to buy the hearts of these servants, he needs to give each of them at least 240 acres of land on top of the existing cultivated land so that they can barely live a life of food and clothing. This adds up to [-] acres of land.

And if he wanted to make these servants more determined and make their families live a more decent and prosperous life, then Lin Ze might need five hundred or even thousands of acres of land.

Considering that the number of servants recruited in the future will increase, more fields may be needed.

The 300 mu of land is far from enough.

"There are only so many lands for sale, Mr. Lin, please bear with me."

"In fact, if Mr. Lin didn't want to buy it, it is estimated that these fields would have been bought by a big family in the county."

Shi Shanbao said with a bitter face.

If the land was so easy to buy, some landlords would not deliberately use tricks or even directly use violence to force people to ruin their families in order to annex the land.

The owner of the luxury house that Lin Ze bought yesterday asked him to sell the more than 300 mu of land, otherwise it would not be so coincidental that Lin Ze would have the land if he wanted to buy it.

If it weren't for Lin Ze buying a house and servants to make Shi Shanbao a lot of money, and Shi Shanbao also wanted to build a good relationship with a first-class master like Lin Ze, he would not have put the 300 mu of land in front of Lin Ze so easily.

"Then let's buy as much as you have. Our task today is to inspect all these fields first."

"In any case, this transaction must be in favor of the shopkeeper."

"If there is another land sale in the future, please take care of me first."

Lin Ze opened his mouth and accepted the favor.

Of course he knew the importance of land and it was hard to buy. The reason why he expressed his dissatisfaction was to see if Shi Shanbao had any potential to squeeze out.

Right now, it seems that the opponent has only so much potential.

And recognizing the other party's favor can win over the other party, and when there is a land to sell later, he will be the first to think of him.
