Mountain wild man Ziwang and his wife

Chapter 37
Yin Gui subconsciously glanced at his mother.

Xu said: "We have all figured it out, just buy a forest and plant some fruit trees. Nowadays, life is getting more and more difficult. There is no need to pay taxes in mountainous areas. Plant some fruit trees and after a few years, the fruits will be more or less profitable. .

You also know that there are many men in our family, and the field is only so small, is that enough for them to build?

There is no way to do this, one mu of land is so expensive, and the money for one mu of land can buy ten acres of mountain land!

The most important thing is...there are too many kids in the family, and they are full of energy. If they don't do something to make them toss, they don't have time to get sick. "

The head of the village actually felt that Xu's nonsense was justified.

"Alright then, have you figured out where to buy it?"

Xu said: "Think it over, it's the Tushan Baobao at the west end of the village, we'll buy that piece of land." That place is connected to Niutou Mountain, and there are no ferocious beasts on the periphery of Niutou Mountain, so it is relatively safe.

"That piece of mountain land has more than 300 mu!" Even if the mountain land is cheap, one tael of silver per mu of land, more than 300 mu will cost more than 300 taels of silver.

"Look, no one is buying this mountain land, can you tell the court to give us a little less..." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Xu stuffed a purse into the head of the village.

The chief squeezed the purse, and naturally put the purse into his sleeve.

Before he could open his mouth, Mrs. Xu said again: "Let me tell you the truth, our family only has a little more than 100 taels of silver. If you can help us take this earthen bag with 100 taels of silver, I will give you 20 taels of silver." Xie Yin of the two.

Don't worry, no one will buy this mountain, and we won't be able to resell it to make money..."

"100 taels..." The village chief hesitated.

She said in her heart that this old guy had bargained too hard, and he just chopped half of it down the middle, but she was fine, and started chopping directly from the chest.

Xu's flattery: "Based on your face in the county government, there must be no problem, and it's not a fertile land.

To put it bluntly, the wasteland of the imperial court does not collect money. This mountainous land is inferior to the wasteland, but it is a hunchback with more earth and rocks..." The wasteland does not collect money, whoever opens the wasteland counts, but Wasteland has to pay taxes, so not many people choose to open up wasteland.

Because it is not suitable, after all, the wasteland has to be cultivated for several years before it can be harvested.

"Fine, I'll go to the county government office tomorrow to ask." Li Chang said.

Mrs. Xu: "Don't tell me, you just gave us the land deed right now, you just go back and say hello to the county government, we all know your old face..."

Mrs. Xu was fooled for a while. The head of the village originally wanted to put on airs, but now Mrs. Xu was so fooled that he wrote the land deed on the spot.

In fact, there is a lot of room for operation in mountainous areas. The imperial court has policies, such as buying one acre and getting five acre free, etc., but it is impossible for ordinary people to know about these policies.

So that when ordinary people buy land, they can have more room to manipulate and take advantage of loopholes to earn some money.

When Mrs. Xu and Yin Gui came out from the village chief's house with the land deed, the village chief was surrounded.

Of course, Yin Gui, who had watched Xu's performance the whole time, was also in a very complicated mood.

The land deed was written by her mother at the head of the village. Her mother's aura and style are no different from bandits who went down the mountain to grab money and food.

Yin Gui deeply doubted whether his mother had gone up the mountain to be a nanny to the bandit's son during the years when she left home to be a nanny.

Otherwise, a nanny who has been working for several years can bring so much money back?
It is no exaggeration to say that their Yin family's wealth... was brought back by his mother.

The mother and son returned home after finishing their errands, and the boys who had gone to study also came back. Yin Tao was teaching them numbers in the backyard.

It is not difficult to know numbers. There are ten Arabic numerals from zero to nine, and the children learn them quite quickly.

not stupid.

(Xu: Hehe, you are too happy too early.)
"Tao'er, grandma will take you out for a stroll."

Mrs. Xu plunged into the backyard, took Yin Tao's hand and walked out.

A few children wanted to keep up, so Xu turned his head and lashed out at the children: "Everyone goes to work with their own wives, who dares to follow carefully, and the old wives will expose your skin."

The children trembled in fright, and scattered like birds and beasts in an instant.

"Grandma, where are we going?" Yin Tao felt strange and asked Xu on the way.

Xu said: "You will know when you arrive."

Yin Tao was brought to a small mountain bag, which was not far from the foot of the mountain. She and Yin Dajiang and others had to pass by here when they went up the mountain.

"Grandma bought it for you, do you like it?" Mrs. Xu pointed to the mountain bag proudly and said, and put the title deed into her arms.

Yin Tao: ...

"I like it!" Like it, I really like it. Originally, she wanted to buy mountain land, but the problem of her account has not been resolved, and she is full of money... Her current contract of sale is in the hands of Shen Xiao, and her status is regarded as a slave.

Not eligible to buy land to buy a house.

"Your mother's name is first written here, and it will be changed to yours later." Hearing that she liked it, Mrs. Xu said happily.

"Tomorrow, let your father and the others surround the land first, and then clean up the inside, how about building a wooden house for you?
Let Dajiang and the others go to the mountains to get some flowers and grasses, and some fruit trees to plant in the spring...

Tell your father what you want to do and let them do the work! "

"Thank you grandma, grandma, how much money you spent, I'll give you back." Yin Tao said, she didn't want to take too much advantage of the old Yin's family.

It is said to be a small hill, but at any rate it has more than 300 mu...about two hundred thousand square meters.

"100 taels!" Plus 130 taels for benefits.

"Grandma gave it to you, don't want your money, keep your money for yourself." With the money, Mrs. Xu straightened her back.

"Thank you, grandma!" 100 taels, so cheap!Yin Tao felt a little unreal.

Xu explained to her: "Mountain land cannot be cultivated for food, and it is even more unpopular than wasteland, and no one buys it at all.

The price of a decent field is three or four taels of silver per mu, the middle class is six or seven taels of silver per mu, and the top-grade fertile fields range from ten taels to twenty taels. "

"Then grandma should go and buy some fertile land." How nice the landlord is.

Looking at the place, it was getting late, so Mrs. Xu pulled Yin Tao back: "That's so easy, just take our village as an example, there is no extra land at all.

Besides, this land is enough for my own family to grow. If I rent it to someone else to grow it, I won't lose two silver coins after digging out the tax. If I hire someone to grow it, I'm afraid it's not my own field.

Also, more land is quite worrying.

There is no one in our family who can maintain a facade. If you are jealous of the powerful... Your father's village head is not a thing at all, it's not a big deal!
You grew up in the capital, so you don’t know the twists and turns in the countryside, and there are quite a few landowners in the countryside who have their fields taken away by tricks..."

Yin Tao actually understood what Xu meant, that the feudal society had a lot of land annexation, because the common people couldn't compete with the rich and powerful, and if they were interested in your land, they could take it away with a little trickery.

"Hey, old sister, are you back? Now that you're back, let's talk about our two marriages..." Mrs. Xu talked with Yin Tao all the way, and when they got home, they saw a few very familiar people.

Xu's complexion suddenly turned dark.

"This girl... is your other granddaughter?" The woman who came up to meet her walked around Yin Tao like looking at the goods, showing disgust: "She looks okay, but she is too dark, her back is not big, and she has no life. The appearance of the son..."
