Chapter 149

"If you don't believe me, you can send someone to find shopkeeper Zhang at Xinyuan restaurant in Datong town. In recent months, I have sent all their fish, but I have also said that there is not much fish in them. The maximum number is 30 a day. There will be no more. However, I have dug a five acre pond in my backyard and began to feed a large number of medicinal fish. I believe that the whole Qingyang County will be in spring next year I can supply all the fish in all branches of Xinyuan restaurant. "

At the beginning, he expected that he would ask. Ling Jingxuan answered calmly, and his long and charming Danfeng eyes were shining with confidence. Negotiation also needed capital, especially with those officials. Although Hu Lizhi was not a corrupt official who was cheating, he was not stupid and did not have enough capital. It was very difficult for him to convince him that he could be in half salt If something is planted on the ground, he can only get it if he believes it, even if it starts to shake.

"No, this county doesn't even have this judgment, but Dr. Ling, are you sure you can grow something on that wasteland? As you said, once the land is bought, the annual tax will start to be collected. Even if I make the decision to exempt you from the first few years, it will still be given later. That piece of land is not like other land. It can not be planted and can also be used as a house site. The sea water pours into the water every October, and any house will have to be soaked and damaged. In case you can't plant it, it will be difficult to get rid of it. "

Hu Lizhi's expression is indescribable serious. Why doesn't he want to make a big deal when his term of office is almost over? However, he is not a corrupt official who is only seeking profits. He really doesn't want to see him lose his whole life. Once he fails to pay taxes, he will have to live in prison or even chop his head. The money of the imperial court is not so bad.

"Well, I can only say try. Even if I make a lot of hype before something is planted, you can't believe it completely. On the contrary, when I really make a fuss, one word explanation will be redundant."

Nothing is absolute. Even if there is, he can't really say it. He still wants him to exempt him from tax for two years.

"Otherwise, Dr. Ling, I'll set aside a piece of land for you to do the experiment. Even if you can't plant it, you don't have to bear the pressure of tax. If you plant it, it's not too late for you to buy land."

After pondering for a while, Hu Lizhi proposed in a deep voice that one is to be sincere for him, and the other is to gamble with him. In case he really grows something, the land is still public, and his contribution to the merit book will naturally be indispensable.

"If you don't have a strong sense of duty, I will not be able to pay taxes for myself, even if I don't have a good sense of tax, I won't be able to pay taxes for myself. ”

How can his good intentions and his private intentions hidden under them be concealed from Ling Jingxuan's eyes? It's not that he wants to take credit from him, and he will plant something later. Even if he records all the credit on his own head, he won't say anything. On the contrary, he will be very happy. He has never been interested in anything that comes out of the top. However, if he accepts his proposal, it will not be him in the future. I'm afraid it will not be him. He doesn't want to make a waste of time, even the most After that, he can buy land. Even if the price is several times higher, he is not stupid enough to dig a hole and bury himself.

Hu Lizhi couldn't understand him any more. If it was just an experiment, why should he take such a big risk? Has he mastered the technology of planting things on that wasteland for a long time, and is it because he didn't want to pay taxes to grind with him here? But it's impossible. If he had already experimented, he couldn't have heard of it. You know, the land is quite pleasant there. If it can be used, even the poor will have some thoughts. He can't hide other people's eyes and ears. Why does he have to buy land?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ling Jingxuan didn't urge him. He just drank his tea calmly. Ling Jingpeng and Zhao Dalong, who didn't speak from the beginning to the end, were worried about their return. However, they didn't show it at all. They had learned some skills with him for so long, but they couldn't compare with him.

"How much land do you want to buy?" I don't know how long it took. It was about a minute or maybe a quarter of an hour. Hu Lizhi looked up at him seriously again. His firm gaze showed that he had made some decisions.

"It depends on how much money you are going to sell per mu, Mr. Hu."

Lingjingxuan put down the tea cup gracefully. According to Yan Shengrui, there is only about 50000 mu of semi salt land in Qingyang County at most. At present, he can only take out 40000 liang of silver at most. With the 3000 Liang in Zhao Hanfu's hand, it may be difficult to win all those lands.

"It seems that the amount you want is really large. Well, the wasteland is also left. If you want it and you are not afraid to bear the responsibility, I will give you the price of the homestead, handle the official lease, and exempt three years of tax. Doctor Ling, this county reminds you once again to be careful!"

Hu Lizhi sighed deeply that he could help him. Whether he could plant something depends on his own."How much wasteland is there in Qingyang County

To his surprise, he was exempted from taxes for three years at a time. Ling Jingxuan could not help but be glad to learn from it. However, he tried not to show himself. At present, the most important thing is to buy the land first.

"Well?? I remember that the amount reported by the county magistrate last year seemed to be 52000 mu. It's a pity that many people have no land to plant, but this large area of land is deserted. Doctor Ling, if you can really plant something, you will have a great achievement. I will tell the truth and ask for your help. "

When it comes to those lands, Hu Lizhi is inevitably depressed. He is not a kind of idle official who only sits in the Yamen and doesn't take care of his affairs. When he is free, he always goes to the countryside to have a look. When he sees the wasteland, he can't express his heartache. If he can make use of it, the people will not be in a precarious state and have a meal.

"Mr. Hu, if I want to buy all the wasteland in Qingyang County, can you give me a preferential price?"

"What? All? "

I have to say, this time Hu Lizhi was really scared. His eyes were full of eyes. I can't believe it. He didn't dream of swallowing all the wasteland in one breath. It's more than 50000 mu. You can't see the boundary at a glance. It's one fifth of the land area of Qingyang County. He really dares.

Not only he, but also Ling Jingpeng and Zhao Dalong were shocked. They thought that he would buy about 10000 mu at most, but they didn't want to?? Is he really that confident? It's 52000 mu. It's frightening to think about it.

"Yes, all of them. My adult has exempted me from taxes for three years. I shouldn't ask for too much, but the money I have in hand can only buy 50000 Mu at most. If the adult wants to, give me 50000 Liang silver for 52000 mu."

He thought that if he didn't do it, he would do a big one. He had forty thousand taels of money in his hand, and about six thousand taels in small change. In addition to Zhao Hanfu's 3000 Liang, it would be enough to find Jing Peng to get 1000 Liang. As for the money for hiring people to open up wasteland, he could only go back to work hard to boil jam and make money.

"You?? Really think about it? More than 50000 mu, when you pay taxes, you will be killed. "

Difficult swallowing saliva, Hu Lizhi still can't believe what he heard. Is he really brave or ambitious?

"As the saying goes, if you are brave enough to survive, you will die of starvation. If you don't try, how can you know? As long as the Lord is willing to sell it to me for fifty thousand taels, we will be able to pay the money and sign the contract with one hand

Compared with his shock, he did not dare to accept. Ling Jingxuan was still calm and confident. Since he had made a decision, he would not allow himself to waver.

"If you are brave enough to starve to death, the county will help you."

With that, Hu Liyi stood up and walked to the back of the desk. He wrote the title deed and tax-free certificate for him personally. Finally, he stamped his seal on them and handed them to Ling Jingxuan: "this is the last chance. Once you sign on it, this title deed and statement will work."

"Ha ha Thank you, sir. Since I have decided, I never want to regret it. Three years is enough for me to plant something. However, the two contracts may have to be written again. The names of Zhao Dalong and Han Fei should be written for 5000 mu of land, and the remaining 47000 Mu is for me. "

Standing up and scanning the name on the contract, Ling Jingxuan said with a smile that when things came to this point, the ground was almost theirs.

"5000 mu? Jingxuan

Hearing that they actually have 5000 mu, Zhao Dalong's conditioned reflection says that they have taken advantage of him enough. How can they take advantage of him everywhere?

But Ling Jingxuan did not give him the opportunity to finish saying, and raised his hand to block his next words: "brother Zhao, I have decided."

The tone is unquestionable and strong. The original gentle breath suddenly turns. Not only Zhao Dalong is frightened, but also Hu Lizhi. They have been talking for so long. He always thinks that he is a gentle man?? He is so deep. Who is he?

"Mr. Hu, please."

After confirming that Zhao Dalong won't speak any more, Ling Jingxuan's momentum will be closed as soon as he says it, and returns to a gentle appearance again, as if the strength and ferocity just now have not appeared at all.

"Well? OK

Hu Lizhi nodded, turned back and wrote several contracts according to his requirements. The land lease was removed, and the tax-free declaration was made. Ling Jingxuan read it carefully. After confirming that there was no problem, he asked Ling Jingpeng to make several copies of it. Then he put his signature on it. The benefit of the land lease was established.

"My Lord, this is 50000 taels of silver. Please order it."

After receiving the contract, Ling Jingxuan took out the silver note he had brought out from his arms. After taking over Zhao Dalong's, Ling Jingpeng asked Ling Jingpeng to take out 1000 Liang and hand them all to Hu Lizhi.

"Well, the number is right. Doctor Ling, the land is yours now. You can always tell me the truth. Have you tried it for a long time, and are you sure that you can grow something on that wasteland?"

If not, how dare he buy so much land at one time? Although he couldn't believe it, there was only one possibility."Ha ha That's impossible. I really don't know if I can plant something on it, Mr. Hu. If it's OK, we'll leave first. The children are still waiting for us to go back in Xinyuan. "

When things were done, they didn't have to stay any longer. Ling Jingxuan stood up and suddenly Hu Lizhi said, "where do you live? After you start farming, we must go and have a look at it."

"I'm from Lingjia village, Datong town. By the way, I need your help. My aunt's husband's family used to be from Shangwan village, Datong town. But my uncle died of illness many years ago, leaving my aunt alone with two cousins. I think adults also know that widows are hard to do. Without a high court, the three aunts and sons are bullied all year round, and their lives are hard to live Yes, I used to have a hard time in my family. Even if I wanted to help, I couldn't help. Now my family's life is getting better. My mother wants to take my aunt and them to Lingjia village for resettlement. Can the adults order their household registration to be moved to Lingjia village? "

When he asked for his address, Ling Jingxuan finally remembered what he had promised Wang Jinyu. While secretly scolding himself for forgetfulness, he also simply said it again.

"If your uncle's high hall is really gone and they want to, I can make the decision to move their household registration to Lingjia village. However, I'm afraid you have to ask your aunt or cousin to come to the County Yamen to verify it. When it's convenient for them, just come to the county Yamen to find me, and I'll know your name."

For Hu Lizhi, this is a trivial matter, and he doesn't mind selling face to him.

"Thank you, my Lord."

Having expected that he would agree, Ling Jingxuan nodded his head to express his gratitude, then turned around and left the study with Ling Jingpeng and Zhao Dalong. Looking at their backs, Hu Lizhi's eyes showed a lot of complex emotions, and finally turned into a deep sigh.

"This son is by no means a thing in the pool, and there will be great achievements in the future." I don't know how long after, Hu Lizhi's low voice sounded in the study.

"Brother Zhao, this is your land lease and tax-free contract. Keep it." Out of the yamen, climb on the carriage, Ling Jingxuan will belong to Zhao Hanfu title deed to them.

"Jingxuan, how can we divide 5000 mu

Zhao Dalong's face is full of tangles. Ling Jingxuan smiles and gives the contract to him: "what can't you want? Anyway, the extra 2000 mu is also a free gift from Mr. Hu. You can take it at ease. "

He still has 47000 mu, hehe?? By this time of next year, he will really be developed. However, in this way, he seems to be back before liberation. He is in a tight pocket. He has to find a way to get some money as soon as possible. If he doesn't have any money, his heart will be empty. He's really not used to it.

"Brother Zhao, please accept it. My elder brother has always said no two things. Besides, you can't go back and ask Mr. Hu to write a new contract for you, can't you?"

Seeing this, Ling Jingpeng beside him also smiles and comforts him. Zhao Dalong carefully puts away the title deed and secretly vows that he will repay him well if he has the opportunity in the future.
