"Uncle Li Zheng, don't be nervous. I came to see you for business."
Yun Miaomiao's face was full of smiles and she looked particularly friendly, but when Jiang Li was looking at her, he felt his heart go numb.
"What's your business?" His voice was filled with fear, making Yun Miaomiao, who was standing opposite, dumbfounded.
You don’t seem to be that scary, right?
"It's not a big deal. Didn't you find a black pimple on the small breakthrough today?"
"Well, I heard about this. My dogs were all poisoned to death." Jiang Li was frowning. He finally raised a dog, but he didn't expect it to be poisoned to death.
When he said this, Yun Miaomiao remembered, wasn't this how their dog died?
"I've also heard about your dog, but what I'm about to tell you is somewhat related to this."
"Would you rather tell me why you came here?"
Jiang Lizheng didn't want to go around in circles with him anymore. Now that he saw Yun Miaomiao, he felt very irritable. Although to some extent, he should be grateful to Yun Miaomiao, but he couldn't do it if an elder bowed to a junior.
arrive.
Yun Miaomiao also noticed his awkwardness, but you didn't care about his impatience.
"I want to buy land."
Since Jiang Lizheng told him not to talk in circles with him, he would tell him directly.
Jiang Lizheng suspected that he heard it wrong, "What, say it again?"
Yun Miaomiao repeated everything, "I said I wanted to buy land."
Why does Yun Miaomiao, who is so nice, want to buy land?
Is it really like the people in the village said that the black lump is a treasure and a valuable thing?
But their dog was obviously poisoned to death after eating it. How could it be a good thing?
He looked at Yun Miaomiao with doubt on his face, "Is it possible that you want to buy the place with all the black bumps?"
With County Magistrate Zhao here, Jiang Lizheng did not doubt that Yun Miaomiao could not afford it.
Yun Miaomiao shook her head, "No, what I want is the piece of land next to him. You also know that our family has two more people. Just the two acres of land given to us by the village, the food collected is not enough for us at all.
The family eats, and I happen to have some spare money at home, so why not use it to buy a piece of land to grow some food."
The Yun family has to take root here in Jiangning Village for the rest of their lives. It is impossible to return to the capital. Jiang Lizheng understands her thoughts.
Jiang Lizheng went through it in his mind and roughly knew which piece of land Yun Miaomiao wanted.
The previous piece of land happened to be at the foot of the mountain. There was a lot of sand and gravel, so it was considered a wasteland. Normally, people in Yuan Village were not willing to take a second look. Now that the silt in the river has been washed away by the flood, we can actually plant something.
But I don’t know if it can be cultivated for a long time.
He didn't expect that Yun Miaomiao would actually fall in love with that piece of broken land.
"Since you want that land, it's not impossible, but now that the people in the village are dying, the price of the land will be higher."
Jiang Lizheng glanced at her blankly, "You know, this little money can be regarded as life-saving money for the people in the village."
Yun Miaomiao nodded, "Uncle Li Zheng is indeed Li Zheng. He is thinking of the villagers of Jiangning Village. Tell me the number and I will see if I can afford it."
Jiang Lizheng saw that she really wanted to buy it, so he stretched out his five fingers and said, "Now that one acre of land costs five cents. If you want me to bring someone with you, I will give it to you now, and I will take you to the county government office tomorrow.
Register there and think about it carefully."
Yun Miaomiao made some calculations in her mind. In exchange for the previous acre of wasteland, which cost two cents, fertile land would cost at most four cents per acre. Jiang Lizheng said that prices are in short supply now, so it is not surprising that the price of land is rising.
"Okay, then I want all the land south of the bottom of the small slope." Yun Miaomiao drew an outline in the air. Jiang Lizheng didn't expect that she would buy so much in one go.
Jiang Lizheng couldn't help but asked curiously, "Why do you need so much time by yourself?"
"Of course we are growing food!" Yun Miaomiao said in a sincere tone, "Uncle Lizheng, you don't know something. Our area has been hit by floods, and all the food from other places is sold to us, so it's very expensive."
"There is a shortage of food this year, and the food harvest next year may not be good. I have used so much land to plant all the food by then, which is better than having no harvest. In this way, I will have something for next autumn harvest.
It is also a good way to make money when the grain is harvested and sold at a high price. Our parents were used to living in a big yard, so we cannot do such rough work. I can't let the family go hungry.
Live your life in confusion!"
Jiang Lizheng gave her a gentle look, "You are a filial person who knows how to treat your parents well. Since you want everything, let's go over and measure out the space for you now."
Seeing that it was still early, Yun Miaomiao thought that it was not a good place to catch a cold, so she agreed to go along with her if it was something time-consuming.
On their way there together, Jiang Lizheng remembered that Magistrate Zhao was still living at Yun's house!
"By the way, I heard the noise yesterday and seemed to see Magistrate Zhao entering your house. Isn't he in Ruizhou City? How come he came to Jiangning Village so well and came to see you in person?"
Yun Miaomiao heard what he was trying to say, "Magistrate Zhao is very busy with official duties. So many things have happened one after another in such a short period of time, which inevitably makes him feel breathless. My father mentioned to him that Jiangning Village is such a good place.
I didn’t expect that he would actually come over.”
"You mean he came here to get some fresh air?" Jiang Lizheng didn't understand. "He's a county magistrate who can't live in a nice big house, so he came to a rural place to get some fresh air?"
Yun Miaomiao looked like you were making too much of a fuss, "Uncle Lizheng, don't you understand this? Don't you have no worries when you live in the same place? It's like Aunt Jiang is nagging in your ear every day,
Don’t you feel annoyed? Come out for a walk?”
"Go, go, who said I'm bothering you, Mrs. Jiang? Stop talking nonsense." Jiang Lizheng glared at her.
Yun Miaomiao stuck out her tongue, "Let me use an analogy. Magistrate Zhao came to my house to secretly vent his anger. Otherwise, how could I, a guilty person, let a county magistrate come to me for help? I wouldn't hide far away.
That's great. Also, don't you know, magistrate Zhao was looking for the prince a while ago? The prince was found, but he was choked on the way back to the capital."
She made a murderous gesture, and Jiang Lizheng was frightened. Yun Miaomiao continued to add insult to injury, "Isn't Magistrate Zhao hiding here because he is afraid of being blamed by the superiors? We wanted to refuse, but who can let him do it?"
We are officials, how dare we say no?"
Yun Miaomiao looked helpless, Jiang Lizheng didn't expect that things would turn out like this.
