CHAPTER 102 LAND PURCHASE (PART 4)
Ah Jian was stunned and said with a smile, “No matter what the result is, let’s face the difficult together!”

Lian Ze looked at Ah Jian gratefully and said: “Brother Ah Jian is right! But I still believe that my sister can make it! “

They three all laughed.

After walking for some time, feeling a little tired, they three picked up a shady place sitting down to wait Liu Jia slowly and so on.

When the sun was shining on the top of her head, Liu Jia came with three people. Two errands, one is in charge of the county’s money and grain taxes, Mr. Zhao.

At first, Lian Ze saw it. Then they three got up to meet them.

“Miss. Liu!” Liu Jia waved to them and ran to Lian Fangzhou and said: “How good luck you are! It happens to catch up with the county Lord in a good mood today. The price is also very good! Each acre is a tale and seven Qians of silver (a tale of silver is 50 grams, while a Qian is 5 grams) and 1700 tales of silver in total. If you pay all the money today, government lease will be free! “

Lian Fangzhou was very happy and nodded: “OK, let’s finish this today.”

The government lease was only two tales of silver. The reason for free was that the county magistrate wanted do them a special favor. After all, compared with 1700 tales of silver, these two tales of silver silver were not worth mentioning at all!

It was a kindness so it would be bad to refuse.

Liu Jia led them to meet with Mr. Zhao and the two servants. After they made greetings, the two servants took out compass and ruler to measure. The servants– Mr. Qian and Mr. Liang wrote down the boundaries of the four sides, and let Lian Fangzhou check them again. She made her mark on the paper, according to which the government lease would be made.

To do these things well, it was Shenshi (3-5 p.m.) past more than half. Lian Fangzhou laughed and gave everyone a red envelope (with money) to express her thanks for their hard working. These days, to deal with such kind of affairs, Lian Fangzhou had prepared a lot of red envelopes like this in advance and brought them all the time. There are red envelopes with one tale of silver or two and three Qians or five.

It was two tales of silver for Mr. Zhao and five Qians for the two servants.

After pinching the red envelope, Mr. Zhao showed greater smile on his face and then his speech became more intimate and polite.

All of them now went back to the county. Mr. Zhao and two servants had carriages, and Lian Fangzhou they three still took Liu Jia’s donkey cart.

Liu Jia took the time to tell Lian Fangzhou that the land was actually one thousand three hundred and sixty acres. Lian Fangzhou expressed her gratefulness immediately. Afterwards it was bound to buy some gifts for Liu Jia .

“These days, I would always go to Sanchakou and do the land affair. I guess I can do it in three or five days! Then I’ll get in touch with Miss. Lian! ” Liu Jia said with a smile.

Lian Fangzhou answered, “OK, there are people in our family. If I’m not there, leave a message and I’ll go to the city.”

“By the way,” Lian Fangzhou said another thing with a smile, “I want to take advantage of the present leisure time and ask people to reclaim the land. But I don’t know where I can hire the diligent people? If Uncle Liu knows, please give me some advice! “

Liu Jia laughed and said, “You flatter me. How do I deserve to give you some advice! Since you just mentioned, then I’ll take you to see Zhao Liu when I’m free. He’s smart about these things! He is the middleman of all the short-term workers in our city. “

Lian Fangzhou meant the same thing. Hearing this, he said thank you with a smile.

Soon after arriving at the county, Lian Fangzhou, Ah Jian and Lian Ze went to pay the money together and took the certificate. Then they only waited three days to get the government lease with the certificate. This was the end of this affair.

Liu Jia really took them to see Zhao Liu. Naturally, he could not help saying something good for Zhao Liu.

Zhao Liu said with a smile: “Nowadays, there are many idle people in the countryside. Don’t worry! Since Brother Liu has said, I will do this pretty well for you! I’m sure I’ll pick someone who is strong and willing to work! So how many people do you need? I’ll lead the people directly to your ground. “

Lian Fangzhou said with a smile, “It’s not easy to make it clear now. We’ll go to the city tomorrow. I’ll give you my certain answer then.” Then she asked about the salary.

Zhao Liu agreed with a smile and said: “It’s just the slack time of farming. The weather is a good time for the work. It’s twenty Wens (A Wen is 0.2 Yuan) for one person a day with launch. If you don’t supply launch, it’s twenty-three Wens. Brother Liu told me clearly that you are a pioneer. The work there would be very heavy, so the price is not cheap! If it’s summer, it’s double of the price! “

He added, “You can be sure of the price and their work. I assure you the work will be well done for you!” Those tree pockets, grass roots and root canals can be cleaned neat and tidy, and the ground will be dug at least one foot deep to loosen the soil! “

Lian Fangzhou was about to ask this. She was not afraid to spend more money, but hiring the people trying to shirk work or responsibility.

The work of opening up wasteland was not easy to do because if the roots of trees and grass were not cleaned up, they would definitely come back to life in the spring. And the land was already compact. If they didn’t dig deeper, what she plant would not grow well at all.

Hearing Zhao Liu’s words, Lian Fangzhou already knew the situation. She nodded with a smile and said that she would talk about it in detail tomorrow.

When they coming out from Zhao Liu’s house, the sun had gradually moved to the West. Liu Jia said he would send them back.

Mr. Liu had been working hard all day. Although it was not for free, they always knew how to understand and sympathize with people. Lian Fangzhou smiled and declined.

Liu Jia insisted for several times. After their several refuses, Liu Jia agreed

After watching Liu Jia go, Lian Fangzhou said with a smile, “We all got tired these two days. I’m just afraid that we will be busy in the coming days! Let’s go and buy some meat to feast ourselves. “

Lian Ze and Ah Jian said yes with a smile.

Lian Fangzhou bought 2kg of the pork, two pig legs, three or four big pig bones, some tofu and dried spicy smoked bean curd, and then they hired a car to go home.

“Sister, shall we go back here to discuss the number of hiring people tomorrow?” Lian Ze asked. He thought it was uneconomic to go to the city once just for this.

Lian Fangzhou laughed, “I’m afraid it will take a long time to make it clear tomorrow! Then we’ll go to the blacksmith’s shop and book some farm tools! They’ll be useful then! By the way, we need to look at donkeys and donkey carts.”

Lian Ze said “Oh” and understood.

When they got home, every family was cooking dinner with smoking curling up the chimney. Lian Fangzhou gave the coachman more money. The coachman smiled and said thank you. Then he turned around and went back to the city. Lian Fangqing and Lian Che jumped up to call their elder brothers and sisters with smiles, and of course, they called the elder brother Ah Jian.

Seeing that she had bought so much meat, Third Grandma was surprised and said, “Oh, so much meat! When will we finish them! “

Lian Fangzhou then smiled: “Tonight, make a stir fried pork slices and minced pork with tofu. Tomorrow, you will stew the pig’s hooves earlier with two radishes from the garden together! There are so many jobs to do these days. We have to eat well and be strong! “

If eating watery broth every day, Lian Fangzhou couldn’t even sustain. Let alone others.

Third Grandma just said that in her mouth. In fact, she was very happy that they bought so much meat. She said with a smile: “Cheng, I know how to clean up! You just go and take a rest in your room! Qing’er and che’er, one of you two just come to help me to make a fire! “

Lian Che then honestly promised “I will go!” Then he followed the grandma into the kitchen.
