After Emptying the Enemy’s Warehouse, He Carried Supplies To Survive the Disaster Years

Chapter 53 Landowner

 “This is the village!”

Although the map is not as detailed as what she collected from An Guohou's house, some place names are marked on it.

 The location of Daxia Bay cannot be seen on this map. Perhaps the local county government has never surveyed it.

 This is very beneficial to Ziyu.

 Magistrate Zhang frowned and looked at the word "Kan'er Village". He didn't even remember such a village.

“Jia Shuli, go check on the situation in Kaner Village.”

 For a while, most of the people watching the excitement on the street were children and the elderly.

 …

 “Dang~dang~dang!”

 Kaner Village is backed by mountains and is located in a remote area. No one wants to settle there.

 After a conversation, a recruitment notice written by the county magistrate himself was posted at the gate of the county government office.

Ziyu felt happy when she heard this. She thought it would cost tens of thousands of taels to buy the mountain, but she bought it in just ten thousand taels.

This is his only good political achievement. With this, he can leave this poor Gada!

 This year happens to be another three-year performance appraisal year, and everything must be done to facilitate this.

“Your Excellency, County Magistrate, as soon as my castle master arrived in your county, he went straight to the county government office.”

Ziyu took out two more fifty-tael silver ingots and pushed them in front of Magistrate Zhang.

“Master, half a tael of silver per acre, what do you think?”

Ziyu happily took out a stack of gold tickets from her sleeve pocket, counted out one thousand and forty taels, and took out a fifty-tael silver ingot to make up for it.

“Five taels of silver per acre for good farmland, and one tael of silver per acre for mountainous land.”

  It was unprecedented for a county magistrate to work for her with only one hundred taels.

Magistrate Zhang flipped through the roster without a care and recorded everything about Kaner Village on a few thin sheets of paper.

Magistrate Zhang and Secretary Jia were surprised, then overjoyed, and they looked at each other.

“The land and mountains of each village are recorded. As for the mountains mentioned by the fortress, they can only be estimated.

Ziyu glanced at the simple county government office, and there was not even a single yamen servant. Could it be that the county magistrate and the clerk made a trip in person.

The county magistrate has put out a recruitment list for workers. Food, accommodation and cash are included.

The mountains behind Kaner Village, according to the five mountains you mentioned, are more than 50,000 acres.

The man who had just returned his hunched back turned around and started running. Some people who heard the conversation between the two also started to move.

　　【I don’t know how many years it has been, but I haven’t published it yet! 】

Magistrate Zhang, who was making a lot of calculations, did not give Ziyu a chance to speak, so he and Jia Shuli got together to write calculations.

 After a bowl of tea, Jia Shuli came out covered in dust with a roster.

 A total of 10,450 taels of silver! "

 Magistrate Zhang’s intention was obvious. His impatient look revealed his thoughts from the moment she came in.

 …

The corner of Ziyu's mouth twitched, and a white cottonworm fell from the roster, and Jia Shuli seemed to be used to it.

I don’t know where the castle owner is staying. If there is any news, I might as well let him know. "

We have a noble man from Xin'an County who is waiting to recruit workers at the county government office!

　　If you don’t hurry up and find your four sons, why are you still talking nonsense here?

In front of the county government office, a large crowd of people gathered in darkness, and all eyes were enviously focused on Shengxing, who was wearing new cotton clothes.

 An old man who was similar in age to Jia Shuli followed him and asked.

“Jia Shuli, please tell everyone, is the county magistrate really recruiting workers?

 Are you really giving money? "

　　Everybody was whispering to each other, and the clever one ran out of the city...

 “Want to go on a field measurement?”

 Masons, carpenters, craftsmen who can build houses, young adults who are good at farming..."

“Old man Hu, what the magistrate said can still be false.

 Sure enough, it’s easy to do things if you have money!

“County Magistrate Zhang, this fort mainly invites a group of people to work, because those who are not familiar with this place can be helped by the county magistrate.”

 “Deal, deal!”

 Have you considered other villages? There are several villages close to the county seat. "

The overjoyed Magistrate Zhang stretched out a dark hand, spread his five fingers and waved it in front of Ziyu.

 “How to sell the mountains behind?”

 …

 Those who trespass without permission can be dealt with as they please if there is a threat.

Ziyu secretly spat on later TV and novels to mislead, saying that the county magistrate spent one hundred thousand taels of silver in three years.

“If the castle owner needs any help from this county magistrate, just ask.”

The castle lord of that hilltop has the final say, and he can encircle it as big or small as he wants.

The money was quickly put into Magistrate Zhang's pocket, and he deliberately took a second look at Ziyu's big sleeve pocket.

“I understand, I would like to ask the owner to stay in the backyard of the county government office. It is safe and clean here.” Magistrate Zhang enthusiastically asked the person to stay.

 County Magistrate Zhang was so happy that he could not close his mouth. Since the records of Xin'an County were recorded, no magistrate had sold more than one million mountains.

 What a good county magistrate!

 Magistrate Zhang lobbied for a while, fearing that Ziyu would dislike the poverty here.

 Finally, give Ziyu an approximate figure.

 It’s really as cheap as picking it up!

From now on, she will be the king of the mountain there, and she is certified.

“Two hundred coins, there are too many wild beasts in the mountains and it is unsafe, and the cost of getting some wood is too high.”

 “Buzz buzz…” The crowd suddenly became like boiling water and turned into a pot of porridge.

Jia Shuli didn’t know where he found a government servant who was older than him.

“Master Zibao, the currently recorded land in Kaner Village is only fifty acres of fertile farmland, all of which are ownerless, and the rest is mountainous land.

 The silent streets suddenly came alive. Men, women, old and young, and even babies who were a few months old were brought out to watch the excitement.

 “We’re hiring! We’re hiring!

 “Thank you, Secretary Jia, for having a drink at home during the Chinese New Year!”

With the immediate benefits and political achievements, Magistrate Zhang became more gentle towards Ziyu.

“Young and old men in Xin’an County, my master needs a lot of manpower for construction.

Building houses is your Hu family’s strong point. Don’t let our Xin’an County’s reputation suffer when the time comes. Don’t blame me for not notifying you! "

  Magistrate Zhang quickly took over the conversation, and Ziyu felt like she had been deceived.

"We want the land in Kaner Village. How can we sell it?" Ziyu insisted and no longer listened to Magistrate Zhang's lobbying.

"Mountain?!"

Wang Xingwang and Shengxing father and son were watching with astonishment. They had never seen a county magistrate who was so considerate of the people.

 The two of them walked along the main street, one breaking the gong and the other shouting loudly.

The mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the terrain is remote. There are only three households in the village. It cannot be called a village at all, and there is not even a village chief.

 Those who are skilled in craftsmanship stand on the right side, those who are good at farming stand on the left side, and others please stay back. "Sheng Xing raised his hands and directed the people below to stand in line.

He then took out a two hundred tael silver note and pushed it to Magistrate Zhang alone. After County Magistrate Zhang who received the money checked the authenticity one by one, the red deed was naturally processed as quickly as possible.

Ziyu didn’t really see any inns along the way. She took a look at Shengxing.

 After all, it’s not safe there! "

 A county magistrate and a clerk narrowed their eyes at Ziyu's blatant bribery.

“This is a good thing. Now let Jia Shuli find someone to ring the gong to notify.

“Master Purple Fort, fifty acres of fertile land in Kaner Village, four hundred acres of mountainous land, and some uncultivable land were given to the Lord.

“Dang~dang~dang! Please be more agile. People who don’t know anything should retreat to the end. What are you doing standing in the middle and blocking the way?”

Jia Shuli banged the gong and roared, and the people below him immediately calmed down.
