Chapter 52 Buying the Land in Peach Blossom Village
After Qin Lanqing left, although everyone was not comfortable with it, everything would return to its original state, and they could only adjust their mentality to accept the departure.
Leng Yingchun calmed down and grabbed Qin Xiaoxiao's hand, "Let's go to the city to find Master and take back our fields!"
"Yes, we can't give Taohua Village an advantage, let's go right away!" Qin Xiaoxiao agreed, he should let the master teach the people of Taohua Village a lesson, so that the villagers of Taohua Village would not think that Lishuping was easy to bully.
"What should Leng Zhengsheng do? Just stay at home and look after the house?" Leng Yinghuan asked curiously.
"Ask him if he is willing to follow!" Leng Yingchun wanted Leng Zhengsheng to face his new life calmly, so that even if he met Fang Yang and Qiu Feng, he would not reveal his flaws.
Qin Xiaoxiao was about to go back and ask Leng Shengsheng to follow him when he walked out and said, "Who is that? Let's go to Lucheng!"
After all, I don’t deserve a name! A trace of sadness flashed in Leng Zhengsheng’s eyes.
"Stop being stunned and let's go!" Leng Yinghuan drove the carriage out.
Leng Yingchun and Qin Xiaoxiao were sitting in the carriage, while Leng Chongsheng and Leng Yinghuan were next to each other.
They arrived at the gate of the county government office and greeted the government officials. The officials basically knew them and took them to see the master without stopping them.
The master thought they were going to ask him to help with farm work again, so he wanted to run away, but Leng Yinghuan grabbed his clothes and looked at them with a smile, "You are all here, what do you want us to do for you?"
Woolen cloth?"
"Master, the people in Taohua Village have occupied our fields and blocked our water source in Lishuping. Their behavior is very bad, and it has reached the point where both humans and gods are angry. We can no longer tolerate their evil deeds, but we are small and weak.
There's nothing we can do against them, we need you to come forward." Qin Xiaoxiao explained his intention first.
"The people in Taohua Village are locals. They are really unruly. They always like to bully the market. The nearby villages have been bullied. Their villagers have asked us for help several times. I have also been there several times.
, no matter what method you use, they won’t listen, it’s really difficult to deal with.”
Having said this, the master tilted his head and pointed at his ears.
"Look, there is a small scar behind my ear. It was a man from Taohua Village who struck me with a knife and almost killed me. Now if you ask us to follow you to deal with this matter, I'm afraid there will be no results.
, I think you can only consider yourself unlucky."
The master lamented again and again. When he thought about how he was treated by those people, he felt that he had more than enough energy but not enough.
"How can that be done? Aren't the officials all asking for orders for the people? If you can't solve it, how can we continue to compete with them?" Leng Yinghuan looked down upon the master.
If the imperial court resorted to thunderous tactics, he did not believe that the people in Taohua Village would not be captured without restraint.
"Huanhuan, don't stand and talk without hurting your back. I don't know that those people are very united. As long as an outsider wants to do harm to any of them, they will definitely gather together and deal with you together. We can't beat them all.
They will say that the government is bullying them."
"If it's not convenient for the government to come forward, then we can handle it ourselves!" Leng Yingchun took it to heart. She thought that since the villagers of Taohua Village are scoundrels, then they must be even more scoundrels than them!
"If you want to fight with them, you don't have to. The whole village is targeting you and they are ruthless. No matter how many people you have, they are no match for them. Also, they will retaliate. Maybe they will take advantage of the opportunity.
If you are not at home, your homes will be burned down, leaving you homeless." Master does not agree to use violence to fight violence, as it is not worth the gain.
"Who said I was going to have a head-on conflict with them?" Leng Yingchun showed a contemptuous smile, "If I buy the entire land in Taohua Village, how much will it cost?"
"Yingchun, are you crazy? Taohua Village is so big and it's a local resident. How can you buy their fields? Besides, we don't have that much money." Qin Xiaoxiao felt that Leng Yingchun must have been stimulated.
"Wait, let me think about it!" The master thought for a moment, clapped his hands suddenly, and went to look through the information of each village. He actually dug out the files of Taohua Village, which contained the land deed.
He placed a large stack of land deeds in front of Leng Yingchun, "These land deeds were originally entrusted to a prince a hundred years ago. After three generations, the prince failed to make progress, so the fields were taken back by the court.
I just left it there and everyone forgot about it."
In the past, the area around Lucheng was very desolate. The people in Taohua Village were indigenous residents. The land was vast and sparsely populated. In addition, the people in Taohua Village were arrogant and unskilled. There was really little rice grown, which was totally hopeless, and the government was too lazy to manage it.
.
In recent years, due to the scarcity of water resources in the north, more and more people have settled here. They have been excluded by the people of Taohua Village and can only open up wasteland and farm near areas that do not belong to Taohua Village, forming surrounding villages.
In addition, the imperial court issued an order to attach importance to agriculture, and the government was busy dealing with business and could not take care of agriculture.
This is wrong. The government must control all the fields in the areas under its jurisdiction.
If Leng Yingchun hadn't come to ask for help, the government might not have thought of handling it.
The master clapped his hands and said, "Since the unruly people in Taohua Village are difficult to deal with, I will petition on your behalf and sell you all the land deeds in Taohua Village. Just wait."
The master hurriedly went to the county magistrate and told Leng Yingchun that he wanted to buy the land in Taohua Village.
The county magistrate has been worried about the management of Taohua Village, and there has been no effective way. Now that someone is willing to take over, everyone is naturally happy.
"Nothing good can be grown in that remote mountainous area, and the villagers are very unruly. Those mountains, fields, and the land where the villagers' houses are located should all be sold to her and let her manage it. If she wants to be a government official,
, can be assigned to her at any time without my approval."
"Sir, I don't see much crops growing in those fields. Leng Yingchun's family is small and weak, so some land will inevitably become barren. If we ask for half of the harvest like Lishuping did, it will be too much pressure. You see
?" Master took the opportunity to seek some benefits for Leng Yingchun.
"Just give it according to the actual harvest, otherwise it will be deducted and turned into money and handed over." The county magistrate didn't care.
"Don't worry, sir, I will report it truthfully." The master understood what the magistrate meant.
"Go!" The county magistrate waved his hand and went to deal with other matters.
"Master, how are you asking?" Leng Yingchun felt that something was wrong when she saw Master drooping his head, so he came up to ask.
The master held back a smile and gave a helpless look. He sat down and sorted out the land deeds before looking up at Leng Yingchun.
"Hey, can you please stop showing off?" Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't stand the master's sad face.
Leng Chongsheng used gestures to indicate that he could guide Leng Yinghuan to practice martial arts and use force to restrain Taohua Village.
It seemed that this was the only way to go, and Leng Yingchun had no choice but to compromise.
Seeing Leng Yingchun's dejected look, the master gently hammered the table and burst out laughing.
Leng Yingchun finally understood that Master was joking with her. She really couldn't laugh or cry. She had never seen such a childish person.
Qin Xiaoxiao gently slapped the master on the back, "I asked you to joke with us."
"Let's get down to business, how to deal with it!" Leng Yinghuan crossed his arms and sat down, crossing his legs and looking at the master.
The master handed the field deed to Leng Yingchun, "You can take it all and give me a hundred and eighty taels of silver. After harvesting, you can do what you can. The county magistrate doesn't care how much you turn over."
"Thank you, Master!" Leng Yingchun took the field deed and handed Master a hundred taels of silver notes, making plans for Taohua Village.
"You don't need to thank me. It's really the people in Taohua Village who are too hateful. You must manage them to be submissive. This is also called mutual benefit."
The master took the banknote and thought to himself: You girl is really dishonest. You were so poor last time, and now you have so much money.
He also understood why Qin Lanqing sent the yamen to help Leng Yingchun with the farming. This girl was indeed very thoughtful. She was indeed the person appointed by the young marquis to farm the fields and alleviate the famine.
He is now looking forward to how Leng Yingchun will govern Taohua Village.
After Leng Yingchun put away the land deed, he pointed at Leng Shengsheng, "Master, my uncle is going to join us. Do you think we should give him a household registration?"
She also accidentally learned that Leng Shengsheng did not have an ID card.
They lurk in the darkness as spies. They only have code names given by their masters. Because they can die at any time, they do not need household registration.
"Don't he have the same household registration as you? You should have a household registration in Sham Shui Pond!" The master doubted Leng Shengsheng's identity. Which man in his twenties belongs to a gangster?
Either the foreigner is converted into a local resident, or the status is unknown.
He vaguely guessed something, but did not dare to think deeply.
"My uncle and his father went to live and do business in other countries since he was a child. An unexpected change occurred at home and he had to return to Dayu. But there was no one in his hometown, so he came to Lucheng to develop. We just happened to meet him."
There were many flaws in Leng Yingchun's half-truths. For Su Jingxian's sake, the master got Leng Shengsheng a new household registration.
He also carefully added some information to his household registration, making his past traceable.
Leng Zhengsheng's eyes were filled with tears. He had never thought that he could still live in the sun.
"Thank you, Master!" Leng Yingchun thanked him and left with everyone.
Leng Chongsheng was grateful to Leng Yingchun, but he didn't know how to express it.
"Yingchun, what shall we call him in the future?" Qin Xiaoxiao took Leng Yingchun's hand and pointed at Leng Zhengsheng, who was silent with his head lowered.
"Let's call him Uncle Rebirth from now on!" Leng Yingchun said casually.
There is an adult in the family, and no one else dares to look down upon them.
Leng Shengsheng didn't quite adapt to the word "uncle". He was only in his twenties, much younger than Qin Lanqing. How could he be of the same generation as Qin Lanqing?
"Look, is that Fang Yang?" Qin Xiaoxiao sharply saw Fang Yang walking with Qiu Feng, and pondered Leng Zhengsheng's thoughts.
"That's her!" As soon as Leng Yingchun finished speaking, Qin Xiaoxiao rushed over.
Leng Yinghuan was jealous when she saw Qiu Feng, and the dagger was under her sleeve.
Leng Zhengsheng's eyes flashed with complicated emotions. He looked at Qiu Feng and quickly turned away.
He really doesn't have the courage to face his past affairs.
Leng Yingchun grabbed his shoulder and said, "You are no longer Fang Yang's spy. You are now my uncle Leng Zhengsheng. He already has a household registration. Their investigation can't find anything, so you can just talk to them openly."
Meet."
Leng Chongsheng then tried to calm down his mood and turned back to greet Qiu Feng's arrival with a straight face and his hands behind his back.
When Qiu Feng approached Leng Zhengsheng, Leng Yinghuan walked over and blocked Qiu Feng's sight.
Qiu Feng felt the familiar aura coming from Leng Zhengsheng. Just as he was about to push Leng Yinghuan away and ask Leng Zhengsheng, Leng Yinghuan started fighting with him and he had to take the fight.
"Qiu Feng, come back quickly!" Fang Yang saw the fight here and chased after him.
"Don't leave!" Qin Xiaoxiao grabbed Fang Yang's hand, "Tell me, why are you with an old man? Aren't you serving the young master of the Li family?"
Qiu Feng was furious when he heard Qin Xiaoxiao's words. He was only in his twenties, how could he be that old? Inadvertently, his shoulder was touched by Leng Yinghuan's palm, and he stepped back three steps and stopped.
"Xiaoxiao, it's none of your business who I hang out with. I can't tell you clearly. I'm too lazy to explain to you!"
When Fang Yang saw Leng Yingchun walking over with a smile on her face, she thought of Leng Yingchun asking her to farm. He fearfully grabbed Qiu Feng's arm and motioned him to leave quickly with his eyes.
Chapter completed!
