Chapter 147 So generous, giving away 100 acres of land?
"That's right."
Manager Nie nodded and said, "It's getting late. You guys wait here for a while. I'll finish my work at noon and I'll go to the Yamen with you."
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. Thank you."
"Don't say thank you verbally. If I run into trouble next time, I will need your help."
Manager Nie stood up and said, asking them to wait here, and he hurried out to do some work. Not long after, his scolding voice was heard, as if he was scolding the people below.
Ye Chuqiu and the others were sitting here, not bored at all. From time to time, someone would bring some food to them outside the kitchen. Apparently Manager Nie had told them to make an extra portion for Ye Chuqiu when cooking for the masters.
They sent it in early autumn.
The second sister-in-law of the Ye family, Mrs. Ye He, also came once, said a few words to Ye Chuqiu, and then left in a hurry. Mrs. Ye Zhang, on the other hand, was scolded by Manager Nie before and did not dare to come again.
Lin Erhu, Lin Qingyun and Laizi are all good eaters, and Ye Chuqiu is no exception. They can eat almost as much as they bring. Without Manager Nie present, everyone can eat just fine.
Have fun, eat and drink, and feel like time has passed by in a flash.
About an hour later, Manager Nie came over. He walked in and said to Ye Chuqiu: "Mrs. Lin, this is a good thing."
"What good thing?" Seeing his happy look, Ye Chuqiu stood up and asked, "I am sitting here, how can good things come from the sky?"
"nature."
Manager Nie smiled and said: "I mentioned what you just told me to our second master. After our second master heard about it, he asked about your situation, and then decided to give you a hundred acres of land."
Manager Nie stretched out his right index finger and gestured in front of them, "This is a full one hundred acres of land. We, the second master, can be generous."
"Manager Nie, are you kidding me? You're giving us a hundred acres of land? Are you kidding me?"
Ye Chuqiu was indifferent to his words, because she was very self-aware. No matter how delicious her braised food was, even if she sold the secret recipe to the second master of Qi Mansion, it would not be worth a hundred acres of land.
"Can I still lie to you? Our master likes to eat your braised food. I gave the land to you just to win you over." Manager Nie still had a smile on his face.
"Okay, okay, I believe it. Where is the land?" Ye Chuqiu stretched out his hand towards Manager Nie, "Where is the land deed? As long as you give me the land deed, I will give you the secret recipe."
"We don't have the land deed. We have to wait until you arrive at the place to go to the Yamen to apply for it." Manager Nie ignored Ye Chuqiu's outstretched hand and sat down and said.
"Manager Nie, please explain clearly what's going on, so you don't tantalize us."
When Manager Nie said this, Ye Chuqiu knew that this was impossible, but she couldn't help but become greedy and had more expectations.
"Oh, don't be anxious, just listen to me slowly."
Manager Nie picked up the teacup, and Lin Qingyun, who had quick eyes and quick hands on the side, immediately poured him a cup of tea. Shopkeeper Nie drank the tea before he said slowly: "You know Dunchuan County, right?"
"I know." Ye Chuqiu nodded, "It's not far from Anton City, right?"
"That's right." Manager Nie nodded and said, "You must also know about the plague that occurred in Dunchuan County the year before last, right?"
"But we don't know." Ye Chuqiu shook his head, "We ourselves also fled from afar, so we don't know anything about Dunchuan."
"Then let me tell you. The plague occurred in Dunchuan County the year before last, resulting in ten houses and nine empty houses. Now our Lord will be transferred to Dunchuan County as the county magistrate. As long as you follow him to Dunchuan, he has decided to give you a gift.
Hundred acres of land!”
Ye Chuqiu understood what Manager Nie was talking about, "I understand. Due to the plague, Dunchuan County is so vast and sparsely populated that there is a serious shortage of people. Master Qi asked us to go there because he wanted to increase the population."
Bar.
I guess, not only if we go there, but also if others follow us, we can also give away land?
Especially for refugees, as long as they go there, they can get a few acres of land, right?"
"Ahem, cough, that's the reason." Manager Nie nodded, "If it weren't for this, we adults wouldn't dare to make the decision to give away the land, right? But don't worry, the one hundred acres of land given to you is indeed the best, and
, even if others come over, they can’t get so much land, right? At most, one person can get five acres.”
"Five acres per person is not a lot." Lezi couldn't help but said: "Then can I follow you when the time comes? I only need to go and get five acres of land, and then sell it when there are more people. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
"
"Okay, hahaha, as long as you are willing to go, of course you can go." Manager Nie was not angry, but was still cheerful.
"Hehehe, Manager Nie, we are not outsiders, why are you still hiding from me?"
Ye Chuqiu then said: "I'm afraid the plague has not been completely eliminated there, or there are other reasons. Otherwise, those big families would have dragged their families and families to occupy the land, and it would be our turn?"
"There is this reason, but as you said, if there was no danger at all, those aristocratic families would have gone long ago. If you want to achieve great things and make a fortune, you must take some risks. Don't you think so? There is no risk.
Everyone wants good things, but it’s not our turn.”
Manager Nie said this sincerely, and Ye Chuqiu also nodded, "You are right, that's the truth. If I were alone, I would definitely go, but my family and my second brother's family plus my second brother's family, a total of twenty
As for the people, I have to go back and discuss it with them."
At this point, Ye Chuqiu came to his senses again, "By the way, you seemed to have said just now that as long as you go there, each person will be given five acres of land. Our family totals exactly twenty people? Or are you just saying that it's just me?
Give me a hundred acres of land, and my second brother and third brother live away from home?"
"Really? Hahaha, I didn't count that much. Of course it's the three of you. Your surname is Lin." Manager Nie said with a haha.
"In this case, we are not in a hurry. You can take us to the Yamen for business first. We will think about the matter of going to Dunchuan again. We may not be able to survive in Lin'an Village and have to join you."
Ye Chuqiu said something, but in her heart she was inclined to refuse.
Her family has built a new house and has now settled down in Lin'an Village. Although she has a little quarrel with the villagers, it is because of Wu Ming's affairs. After she exchanges the land deed this time, she will transfer Wu Ming's property to her.
Once the matter is settled, the villagers will no longer have any opinion against them.
When the time comes, she can live a good life in Lin'an Village, so why go to Dunchuan to find an uncertain future? If she is infected with the plague, her life will be lost.
What's more, there are people in Dunchuan that she wants to avoid.
"Okay, if that's the case, then you can discuss it with them after you go back. Once you've considered it, just come over and let me know at any time. Our master should take office a month later."
As Manager Nie said, he couldn't help but add something, "You have to know the principle of providing help in times of need."
"I understand."
Ye Chuqiu nodded repeatedly. She also understood what Manager Nie meant. He meant that Mr. Qi was currently short of people. If they followed him, they might be able to get involved with Mr. Qi. Mr. Qi wanted them to be their first
As a follower, I will definitely take good care of them.
For an ordinary citizen living in a small county town, with the county boss looking after his head, how could his life be any worse?
"Okay, then I'll take you to the county government office first."
Manager Nie said, and went to the kitchen outside to talk to the people below before taking them to the Yamen.
On the way, he told Ye Chuqiu that there are two government offices in Andong City, one is the government office and the other is the county government office. The government office is in charge of the affairs of the counties below, while the county government office is in charge of the villages and towns around the government office, as well as the city.
things inside.
Mr. Qi Er used to work in the county government. He was under the supervision of both the county magistrate and the government officials. Naturally, he felt uncomfortable and could not use his talents. Now he went to Dunchuan. Although he was not as wealthy as Andong City,
But it's a great achievement.
Ye Chuqiu nodded, thinking in her heart that Zhang Huaiyuan had never told them about the two yamen in Anton City. He deliberately did not tell them this and also wanted to torment them, but he did not expect that she would find him.
With the help of Manager Nie, the matter was successfully resolved without any twists and turns.
