After deciding on the land to buy, Qin Xiaoliu took the village chief to the county seat. The county government official came over to measure the land area. On the same day, Daohua got the title deed.

A total of 5,000 acres of land was purchased and 5,000 taels of silver were spent.

Yan Zhiqiang did not buy the land. The land here is indeed not very good. If he wanted to buy it, he would have to go back and discuss it with his family. He would not be as casual as Daohua.

Putting away the land deed, Daohua looked at Qin Xiaoliu: "Brother Xiaoliu, our time is a little tight. We need manpower to reclaim wasteland. I see that there are more refugees gathered in the county town. You can go and recruit some day laborers. How many people are there?

It depends, I only have one thing, and I want to plant it around mid-March."

"Those who work conscientiously and carefully can become long-term workers or tenants. I will send someone to tell you the specific rules after I go back and think about them."

Daohua was silent for a while and then said: "Moreover, go to the county town to see if there are cattle for sale. If so, buy a few more and come back. Don't worry about saving money on farm tools and cattle."

As he said that, he glanced at Wang Maner.

Wang Maner immediately handed a thousand-tael piece of silver to Qin Xiaoliu.

Qin Xiaoliu put it away carefully: "Girl, do you have any other instructions?"

Daohua began to think deeply: "It's gone for the time being, so let's do this for now. I have to go back and plan this land to see where Zhuangzi is better to build it."

Yan Zhiqiang stood aside and listened silently, with no intention of interfering at all.

To be honest, he felt that he might not be as good as Daohua in managing Zhuangzi and the fields.

The Zhuangzi in this girl's hands not only produce more every year, but also cause fewer troubles.

He is in charge of his family's farm, and he knows that it is not easy to do this. Many times he is too busy to make ends meet, and is far less calm than this girl.

The village chief was also listening. When he heard that Daohua was recruiting people, he immediately recommended people from the village.

Daohua smiled and said: "As long as you are not lazy and work diligently, I will give you as much as you want here."

After talking for a while, Yan Zhiqiang saw that it was getting late, so he took the rice flowers and boarded the boat back.

Qin Xiaoliu stayed with two boys and watched Daohua and his party leave.

After the boat had sailed a certain distance, the village chief asked Qin Xiaoliu: "Little brothers, which family do you belong to? It's such a big hand, these thousands of acres were bought at the first sign."

The village chief is also a bit discerning. When he was looking for land deeds, he noticed that the officials in the county government were particularly polite to these people.

Qin Xiaoliu thought that he would stay in Taohua Village often in the future and would have to deal with the village chief, so he smiled and said: "We are from the Yan family of the magistrate of Ningmen Prefecture."

Upon hearing this, the village chief's eyes widened suddenly, and he stuttered in shock: "Do you know... the prefect's family?"

Qin Xiaoliu nodded and said nothing more, just saying: "Village Chief, before Zhuangzi is built, we may have to stay in the village for a while. Isn't it convenient?"

The village chief nodded repeatedly: "It's convenient. I'll tell the people in the village later."

Qin Xiaoliu cupped his fists and said thanks: "Thank you very much." After saying that, he took out a couple of silver coins from his wallet and handed them to the village chief.

The village chief didn't want it, but he didn't bother Qin Xiaoliu.

Qin Xiaoliu said with a smile: "We are going to the county town now to check the situation. I'm afraid it will be too late when we come back. We have to trouble the village chief to give us some food."

The village chief immediately said: "I will definitely be ready."

Qin Xiaoliu glanced at the ship again and saw that it was already sailing far away, so he took the two boys and walked towards the county town.

On the other side, Daohua stood on the deck and watched the scenery. When she was about to turn back to the cabin to eat something, she suddenly saw a familiar figure appearing on the shore.

"Weird monk!"

Daohua immediately stretched out her hand and waved to the people on the shore, and called several times. Unfortunately, the boat was a little far away from the shore, and Gu Jian did not hear it.

Seeing Gu Jian's figure getting further and further away, Daohua did not continue to shout, but just watched silently.

Finally, I saw Gu Jian turning a corner and going directly to Peach Blossom Mountain.

Daohua immediately turned to Yan Zhiqiang in the cabin and asked: "Uncle Third, did the village chief just say who bought Taohuashan?"

Yan Zhiqiang walked out: "They seem to be two lonely old people, said to be a pair of siblings."

Daohua breathed a sigh of relief, and was sure that the owners of Peach Blossom Mountain should be Granny Gu and the strange monk.

Yan Zhiqiang looked at Daohua: "What, do you know them?"

Daohua nodded: "Not only do I know him, but my grandmother also knows him. I was the one who asked for medicine from that strange monk back then."

Yan Zhiqiang also remembered this, and immediately smiled and said: "Then our family is quite destined to them."

Daohua also smiled: "Yes, last time I was in Jiguang, I also met Granny Gu and the strange monk. I wonder if Granny Gu's illness is cured now?"

Yan Zhiqiang smiled and said: "Anyway, you want to build a village here. Next time you come here, you can go up the mountain to visit."

Daohua immediately said: "I think so too."

......

Daohua and Yan Zhiqiang returned to Yan Mansion in the evening, just in time for dinner.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Yan asked: "Have you considered the land?"

Daohua nodded: "Look, I bought 5,000 acres of land in Shahe County, and I've got the title deed. Grandma, I'll show it to you after dinner."

As soon as these words came out, the dinner table fell silent, and everyone looked at the rice flowers.

Elders: Good guy, you are so rich, you can buy thousands of acres of land at once. Your ability to spend money is better than them.

Juniors: I feel like I am dwarfed by others. What should I do? The eldest sister has already saved so much money on her own, but they are still calculating whether they can spend enough money per month.

Daohua was puzzled: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Mrs. Li coughed: "Didn't you say that the land in Shahe County is not good? Why did you buy so much?"

Daohua explained: "Mom, I used that land to grow yams. It's just right."

Yan Zhigao's eyes moved and he looked over: "How do you know that land is suitable for growing yams?"

Daohua said casually: "I have tested it, father. Even though it is sandy soil, as long as you plant the right crops, the yield is still high. By the way, peanuts and watermelons can also be grown on sandy soil."

Yan Zhiyuan looked at Old Mrs. Yan, then at Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li, and asked with a smile: "Five thousand acres of land, this is quite a large amount, Daohua, it's not that my second uncle is too talkative, you should do this kind of thing

Let’s discuss it with my family.”

Daohua smiled faintly: "Second uncle, I know you care about me and are afraid that I will spend money randomly. But I think, this money is earned just for spending it."

"It's rare that I have taken a fancy to that piece of land. If it is available, I will certainly buy it. Even if I buy it and keep it with me, since I paid for it myself, it won't affect anything at home. I can just bear it alone."<

/p>

The smile on Yan Zhiyuan's face was a little forced.

Okay, this girl is becoming more and more articulate. She used to be direct in her remarks, but now that she is a little older, she has started to sarcastically turn around.

Mrs. Li glared at Daohua.

Daohua curled her lips, this second uncle just likes to meddle in other people's business, why should she spend her own money to discuss with others?

However, he did not continue the topic, but looked at Yan Zhigao with a smile: "Father, when my daughter buys that land, she also wants to share the burden with you."

At this time, everyone was surprised and looked at Daohua. Even Yan Zhigao looked curious.

Daohua straightened her expression, straightened her back and said: "First, I bought several thousand acres of land, do I need people? I have already asked Brother Xiao Liu to recruit refugees to work. The number may not be too many, but

It can be considered a contribution."

"Second, the reason why Shahe County is poor is because of the low grain yield. If the yield of the yams I grow is pretty good, my father can promote yams in Shahe County."

"In this way, we can provide food and clothing for the people and retain the population."

"As for the issue of selling yam, I have also thought about it. Ningmen Mansion is located at the junction of Zhongzhou, Jiguang, and Fenxi provinces. It has a unique geographical location. Waterways and dry roads are very convenient. There is no problem in selling it."<

/p>

Yan Zhigao was moved when he heard this. If it was really like what the eldest daughter said, there would be a solution for the refugees stranded in Ningmen Mansion, but the premise was that the yield of yam should be high and farming should be good.

As for sales issues, he is not worried.

Rich families like to use yams for food, but they are often not available.

Yan Zhigao thought for a while and looked at Yan Zhiyuan: "Our family will also buy...five thousand acres of sandy soil. Use some of it to grow yams, and the rest to grow watermelons and peanuts."
p>

Yan Zhiyuan nodded.

Yan Yile smiled and said: "Sister, you are the richest among our brothers and sisters. If we can't make money in the future, you have to help us."

Daohua immediately smiled and said: "No problem. Last time when I was shopping in Fucheng, Yuan Yao took me to a pawn shop. I think the rules of the pawn shop are quite good. Everyone will have difficulties.

When the time comes, you just need to leave things of equal value to me for safekeeping."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't charge you interest."

Yan Yile's expression froze: "Sister, are you too stingy? Do you think a family needs to be like this?"

Daohua smiled contemptuously: "Fourth sister, your jade bracelet looks very nice to me. How about you give it to me?"

Yan Yile said reluctantly: "This is my favorite jade bracelet."

Daohua immediately took over the words: "Fourth sister, you are too stingy, don't you just have an jade bracelet? What's wrong with giving me an jade bracelet as a family?"

Yan Yile's face turned red and she stared at the rice flowers without speaking.

Daohua sneered and continued to eat, regardless of other people looking at her in shock.

She is rich, but her money does not come from the strong wind. She borrows this today and borrows that tomorrow. Is she working hard to make money to support others?

She doesn’t let it go!

Seeing that her daughter was speechless, Mrs. Sun said with a smile: "We Daohua's talkativeness is really getting worse and worse."
