Chapter 303, Peach Blossom Village
Yan Zhigao is really busy. Yan's family has eaten dinner in the old lady's yard, and they haven't seen him come back.
Daohua and Yan Wenxiu came back on the first day of the three. They originally wanted to please him, but it was dark and there was no one to see, so Mrs. Li asked the four of them to go back and rest first.
In the early morning of the next morning, Daohua came to the main courtyard before dawn.
Mrs. Li has gotten up, but Yan Zhigao is still asleep.
"Why do you get up so early?" Mrs. Li looked at her daughter in surprise.
Daohua said in a low voice, "Mother, you forgot, I am going to Shahe County to see the land with my third uncle today."
Mrs. Li: "It doesn’t need to get up so early."
Daohua: "Uncle San said, go early and return early. I don't know what to delay in the middle."
Mrs. Li nodded, and asked Ping Tong to bring a bowl of almond tea over: "First eat something."
Daohua did not refuse, and she would have to take a boat later, but she shouldn’t be hungry. She picked up the almond tea and drank it.
Mrs. Li asked Ping Tong to prepare desserts to eat on the road, and then said: "There are many refugees in Ningmen Mansion. After you go out, listen to your third uncle. Don't run around by yourself. That's right. Now, the person accompanying you should bring more to avoid any accidents."
Daohua happily responded.
She has never refuted her mother’s concern and nagging. She knew that only when she was relieved could she go out to the backyard.
"Mother, then I am leaving!"
After drinking a bowl of almond tea and eating a few cakes, Daohua took Wang Man'er and Gu Yu to Sanfang Yard.
Ms. Li watched her daughter go out of the room. At this moment, there was a noise in the bedroom, and she walked in. Seeing Yan Zhigao got up, she quickly stepped forward to change her clothes.
"Why do you stop sleeping for a while, Master?"
Yan Zhigao yawned and spoke: "The affairs of Ningmen Mansion are very complicated. If you don't straighten these out earlier, I can't sleep well. It was Daohua just now?"
Mrs. Li smiled and nodded: "The girl is going to Shahe County with my third brother to see the land today."
Yan Zhigao turned around: "Shahe County? The land over there is not a good land, and next to Jiguang, there are many refugees. Why did you think of going there to see the land?"
Mrs. Li shook her head: "Who knows what your daughter thinks? I heard what that girl meant, and it seemed that I was fancying the sandy soil over there."
Yan Zhigao was puzzled: "This sandy soil cannot hold water or retain fertilizer. It is not a good land." Shahe County became Ningmen because the land is sandy soil and the grain output is extremely low. The poorest county in the government.
Mrs. Li nodded: “Who said it’s not, but it’s okay. If the third brother is watching, she won’t mess with that girl.”
In the boat for almost two hours, Daohua and Yan Zhiqiang came to Shahe County.
"It's really sparsely populated and the land is barren!"
Except for the densely populated areas around the county, in other places, it takes a long time to see some people.
Yan Zhiqiang stooped to pick up a handful of soil and squeezed it in his hand, then shook his head: “Although there are rivers flowing through Shahe County, there are too many sand particles in the soil and the fertility is too poor.”
Daohua came over: "But this kind of soil also has many benefits, such as loose soil, good air permeability, light farming, and good drainage."
Yan Zhiqiang looked at Daohua, surprised: "Do you really like this sandy soil?"
Inaba nodded.
Yan Zhiqiang wrinkled his brows: "Cultivate this land, and the grain yield will not be too high."
Daohua smiled and said, “I definitely can’t grow food that requires water and fertilizer. I plan to use this land to grow yam.”
Yan Zhiqiang was taken aback: "Yam?"
Raohua: "Yes, yam can be used as medicine or as a dish. It tastes good. After it is planted, many people will buy it."
Yan Zhiqiang looked suspicious: "Daohua, are you sure you can grow yam?"
Yam is very expensive and not a good kind. It is generally only available in drugstores, and the price is very expensive.
Daohua: "Of course, Sanshu, don’t you know my ability? Tell you the truth, I have tried it before, but I haven’t touched the sandy soil, so I didn’t start planting."
Hearing what Daohua said, Yan Zhigao thought for a while and said, "Since you are sure, let's buy a piece of land to try it out. Do you have a good spot?"
Daohua nodded: "The place where we just disembarked, I looked pretty good. There seems to be a peach blossom mountain next to me. I glanced around and found that many peach trees have grown buds. Look at the peach blossom."
Yan Zhiqiang is a little speechless, he is asking if the ground is good, what peach blossom is he talking about?
Sure enough, she was still a little girl, as long as she saw flowers or something, she was drawn away from her attention.
Soon, a group of people arrived at the destination.
On a very wide mountain slope, peach trees are planted. It is now at the end of February, and the branches are full of buds, a little bit of pink, adding a touch of beauty to this side.
Below the mountain, there are scattered households, and large tracts of uncultivated fields are so deserted there.
At Yan Zhiqiang's signal, Qin Xiaoliu found the village head here.
Looking at Daohua and the group of people who are not ordinary dressed, Muramasa looked a little cautious. He crossed his hands in front of his abdomen, and kept rubbing, and did not dare to look directly at Daohua and the others.
Yan Zhiqiang said kindly: "Village Chief, don’t be nervous. We are here to buy land. We are looking for you. I just want to ask if these land can be bought?"
Hearing this, the village chief breathed a sigh of relief, and saw Yan Zhiqiang with a smile on his face, and his spirit relaxed a lot: "This is Taohua Village, and most of the land is unowned."
During the negotiations between Sanshu and the village chief, Daohua took Wang Maner and Qin Xiaoliu around to investigate. The more you look, the more satisfied you are with the land.
"I want to buy this piece of land connected to Peach Blossom Mountain!"
Daohua waved his hand proudly.
Qin Xiaoliuyi stunned: "Buy all?"
Daohua nodded: "After I bought this piece of land, I will build a village under the mountain. In the future, every spring, I will bring my grandmother to live here, so I can relax and enjoy the mountains. What a wonderful peach blossom."
Wang Man'er swallowed: "Girl, there are thousands of mu of land here."
Ina Flower immediately patted the purse on her waist: "It's okay, your girl brought enough money when I went out."
In the three years in Xingzhou City, her Zhuangzi and shop have made a lot of money for her. She is rich!
Yan Zhiqiang was surprised when he learned that Daohua was going to buy all the land under Peach Blossom Mountain. After persuading him for a while, when he saw his niece still shouldn’t pay attention, he suddenly sighed helplessly.
This niece has been paying attention since she was a child, and now she earns her own money, so she doesn’t even listen to others.
Fortunately, the land in Shahe County is barren and wasteland. The price is not high, only one tael per mu, but it costs thousands of taels to buy a piece of thousands of mu.
Looking at the niece who took out several Qianliang banknotes without blinking, Yan Zhiqiang shook his head.
The courage of this girl is much stronger than him.
The village chief beside also trembled, and at the same time he was still wondering.
Is he going to work now?
Last year, the county official came and said that the population of Taohua Village was too small, and the tax was paid too little, and Taohua Village was merged into the neighboring Shayun Village.
Who would think, that month, two people came over and bought Peach Blossom Mountain for a big price, and made up for several years of taxes in Peach Blossom Village.
I heard that a new prefecture came this year to rectify the poverty-stricken counties. Unexpectedly, at this time, someone would come to buy land in the village again, and they would buy a few thousand acres.
Tax taxes in the village go up. Now, Taohua Village will not be merged out, right?
