The small town of Ruizhou is not that big. There are more than a thousand families who came from behind. Those who have accumulated money slowly want to live closer to the academy. If they are close to the water, the first one gets the most.
It is precisely because of this that many people have bought land and live here.
Most of the fertile farmland is on both sides of the town. The front is the main road leading in and out of the town, and the back is bounded by the big mountain of the academy. Although the back of the mountain is flat, the road is not easy to walk, so few people go there to buy.
The ground is gone.
Mayor Sun was also chosen as the chief because of the increasing number of people in the town in the past few years.
After leaving the town, to get to the land that Yun Miaomiao wants, you have to go around the foot of Academy Mountain. This section of the road is not difficult to walk.
After walking around the back hill, weeds grew up to half of a person's waist, and suddenly the long-lost mechanical sound rang out in Yun Miaomiao's mind.
"Master, I found natural Gastrodia elata and it costs ten cents and one tael. Do you want to exchange it?"
Hearing this voice, a smile appeared on Yun Miaomiao's face. This was really like trying to find nowhere, and it took no effort at all.
Gastrodia elata can be regarded as a kind of medicine or food. It has the effect of calming liver yang, dispelling wind and unblocking meridians.
I originally came here to buy a piece of land, but I didn't expect such a surprise waiting for me.
However, there are so many people here now, and she doesn't know which one is Gastrodia elata, so she doesn't dare to act rashly.
Mayor Sun pointed to the place he could see in front of him, "Although this land is not very good for growing food, the good thing is that it is flat enough. If the small slope just came up is repaired, it will be easy to get in and out.
"
Yun Miaomiao looked at the vast place, "How can I sell this land?"
This was originally a land that no one wanted. Now that Yun Miaomiao has taken a fancy to it, Mayor Sun will not say anything like a lion, "If you want this land, it costs five cents an acre. Don't think it's too expensive. The place here is...
Even this kind of land is not cheap, it is much more expensive than other places. You can't buy fertile land here without fifteen cents, so I didn't give you this land extra. If you think it's suitable, I'll give it to you right away.
You write the title deed."
Yun Miaomiao nodded. Of course she wanted this land. Although five cents per acre was a bit expensive, she could not accept it.
Besides, there was such an unexpected surprise as Gastrodia elata, she would buy it no matter what.
"Okay, I'll trouble Mayor Sun. I want this piece of land." Yun Miaomiao bought this large piece of land on the back of the mountain with a swipe, which totaled almost two hundred acres.
"Ah?" Mayor Sun thought she only wanted to buy three to five acres, but he didn't expect such a big deal. "Why are you buying so much land?"
Yun Miaomiao naturally has her own plan, "Of course it's farming. My brother is young and may need to stay in this academy for several years. I have to find a way to make money."
"It turns out that I have a younger brother studying in the academy. That's really amazing." Mayor Sun nodded, "I heard that this year's academy assessment was more stringent than in previous years. Many people failed. How can your younger brother
If you are selected at such a young age, you will definitely have a bright future in the future."
"It's just that I had better luck. It's not worth mentioning." Yun Miaomiao said modestly.
After a while, Mayor Zhao began to draw and measure the land with Lu Dazhuang and others. The total was calculated to be two hundred and one acres. If Yun Miaomiao bought more, the extra one acre would be included.
Yun Miaomiao spent a total of one or two silver dollars on two hundred acres of land. After signing the land deed and paying the money, the land became hers.
Mayor Zhao looked at the vast fields and said, "Miss Xiaoyun, I'd like to ask, what do you plan to plant on this land?"
Yun Miaomiao didn't hide anything, "I plan to plant something easy to feed. I heard that there is a kind of crop in the north called pepper. It needs such land to survive without much watering. I want to try it first. Anyway, the land is right here.
, you can always grow something.”
Thinking of something, Yun Miaomiao said again, "By the way, Mayor, you are the mayor here and have lived here for a long time. I have so much land, I can't grow food all. I plan to build a yard and manor here."
, I will live here in the future, and when the food is cooked, it will be easier to make some food. The students on the mountain will come down closer, and I can earn some money."
Mayor Zhao did not expect that Yun Miaomiao had already made up his mind in such a short period of time.
"If you want to build a manor, you will get a lot of money and a lot of manpower." Mayor Zhao reminded kindly.
The main reason is that Yun Miaomiao is a woman and it is not easy to make money. It cost one or two silver to buy the place all at once. If he continues to fiddle with the manor and yard and the place is so big all of a sudden, he is worried that Yun Miaomiao will not have enough money.
, when the trouble breaks out, it will not only be difficult for Yun Miaomiao, but it will also affect her younger brother who is studying in the academy.
When Yun Miaomiao sent Yunsu and the others up the mountain, she had taken a fancy to this piece of land and had already drawn the blueprints.
"I know, Mayor Zhao, the manor and yard I want to build are not small, and there is a lot of work. If you have suitable people here who can introduce them, I would be very grateful." She said sincerely, "I am from out of town.
After all, you are not familiar with this place. I have also inquired about the wages. One person earns twenty cents a day. I want to do this job as quickly as possible. I can do it for a month for twenty-one cents a day. If I do it for two months,
Twenty-two cents a day, in short, and so on, everyone’s goal is to make money, and my goal is to complete the project as soon as possible.”
"You girl, you are really smart." Mayor Sun sighed.
Yun Miaomiao smiled modestly, and then handed her drawing to Mayor Sun, "This is the drawing I made. If I calculate according to this drawing, Mayor, can you help me calculate how long it will take?"
Mayor Sun took the drawing over. He originally thought it was just an ordinary drawing. After unfolding it, he was completely amazed by the design above.
"This, this is what you drew?"
"Yeah, I don't have any other skills, except that I can still use my brain. This thing looks good, but setting it up is troublesome. If the mayor can find some capable people for me, I won't have to worry so much."
Mayor Sun's hand holding the blueprint shook a few times with excitement, "If you say it's done, your place will be full of people to eat in the future."
"Then it has to be done, right?" Yun Miaomiao pulled the drawing back without leaving a trace, "Otherwise, who would come to this ruined place?"
Mayor Zhao also knows this truth, "Okay, I will help you find someone. When your yard is finished, you have to let me come and visit it."
"That's natural!"
Mayor Sun has to worry about the manpower. She needs to find the materials to build the manor and the yard separately. She can just ask Shopkeeper Fu about these when the time comes.
Now that everything was ready, Yun Miaomiao asked Lu Dazhuang and the others to find some more people to come over, remove all the weeds in the ground, and then plow the ground again, while he was responsible for supervising the work.
Her purpose was not to supervise the work, but for the batch of Gastrodia elata.
