"You guys just wait in the inn, I'll go with Dahu, Qingyun, Qingshi and the others.
It is a big matter like choosing a site, but you can't just go with everyone. If there are too many people, and one person has just one opinion, the matter won't get done.
So Ye Chuqiu just asked representatives from each family to come along and make the final decision.
Butler Nie had already prepared carriages and horses outside. After everyone got on the carriages, they left the city first and arrived at the first stop after not walking far.
"This place is called Wujiagou. It's only five miles away from Dunchuan. It's very convenient to get in and out of the city."
After everyone got off the car, Manager Nie led Ye Chuqiu to the village and introduced to Ye Chuqiu: "This place was severely affected by the disaster. There are not many people left in the village, and a lot of land is deserted. I will find you a place of 100 acres."
If the ground comes out, it will be more than enough."
"This village seems quite popular."
Ye Chuqiu walked inside and saw the busy farmers, secretly looking at them with curious eyes, and also saw the puppies chasing and playing on the road.
This is a good place. There is a small river passing through the village. There are large tracts of farmland in front of the village. The transportation is also very convenient. There is an official road passing through their village and dividing their village into two halves.
Ye Chuqiu noticed that some people had set up stalls on both sides of the official road and were selling tea.
"How's it going? This place is nice. If you settle in this village, you can set up a stall directly in front of your home." Butler Nie said with a smile: "Don't look at the fact that there are not many people passing by this official road now. This is because everyone
They have all suffered disasters, and when Dunchuan develops in the future, this place will be booming."
“It’s a good place.”
Ye Chuqiu nodded. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. This village has an official road passing through it, so it has excellent geographical location.
As Butler Nie said, when the time comes to build two shops on the roadside, we can set up a stall in front of our home.
"Second child, third child, do you like this place?"
Ye Chuqiu looked at them with a smile.
"I like it." Lin Qingyun and Lin Qingshi nodded hurriedly, "This place is close to the city and has official roads. If someone passes by, they can just hitchhike to the city."
"That's right, if you like it here, have you seen the land by the river? Although it is a bit barren at the moment, it is actually very fertile. It is close to the river, and it is much more convenient to release water every summer than others." Obviously, Nie
The housekeeper also knows a little about farming.
"Yeah." Lin Qingyun and Lin Qingshi liked this place very much, so they both looked at Ye Chuqiu, "Sister-in-law, what do you think?"
"Let's take a look again." Ye Chuqiu said.
This place is nice, but because the transportation is too convenient and the people coming and going are cluttered, she doesn't like it.
She has space and prefers a quiet place where she can do things quietly. As for the inconvenience of transportation, she can build a trail by herself that leads to the official road. There is no need for the official road to pass through her village directly.
.
The village is open and connected in all directions, so it naturally develops quickly. However, in this era of continuous wars, frequent famines, and numerous bandits, Ye Chuqiu feels a little insecure living in a place with easy access in all directions.
"Mrs. Lin, are you dissatisfied with this?"
Butler Nie understood when he saw Ye Chuqiu's face.
"This place is already very good, but I want to see two more places."
With a faint smile on her face, Ye Chuqiu said, "You know I'm getting older, and I prefer a quieter place."
"I know you like this kind of environment."
Manager Nie glanced at Ye Chuqiu and said, "But I have to tell you first. A quieter environment will not be so convenient. Not only will it be more remote, but even the fields will be worse."
"It doesn't matter, I quite like secluded places." Ye Chuqiu said quickly: "As for the quality of the fields, aren't they all taken care of by the farmers themselves? If they are taken care of well, the low-grade fields will become good fields.
Well, fertile farmland can also turn into desert."
"That's true."
Butler Nie said with a smile: "When the master settled other refugees, I knew you would like a quiet environment, so I specially left a good place for you, right behind Wujiagou, about two miles away."
"Butler Nie, you understand me, so please take me there quickly."
So everyone got in the car again and walked to the place Butler Nie said.
"Strictly speaking, this place also belongs to Wujiagou. It was originally a villa owned by a landlord. However, the landlord died of illness and the place became deserted."
"So that's it."
Ye Chuqiu responded. As the carriage moved forward, the road became more and more muddy. The carriage could no longer move forward. Everyone got out of the car and followed Butler Nie's footsteps in mud and water.
After walking several hundred meters, Butler Nie stopped and looked at the two scribes next to him, "Is this here?"
"That's right."
One of the scribes responded, and the other scribe took out the map from his sleeve pocket, looked at it twice, and nodded, "This is it. This place is called Crow Mountain. Now the entire mountain is ownerless."
Object."
"Is the entire mountain top ownerless? In other words, can the entire mountain top be given to us?" Ye Chuqiu asked immediately.
This Crow Mountain is not high, just a small hill. Even if it rains heavily and some mud and rocks are washed away, there is no need to worry about how powerful it will be.
The mountain in Lin'an Village where Ye Chuqiu lived before was much taller than Crow Mountain.
Crow Mountain is neither high nor wide, and the terrain is very gentle. Standing at the bottom of the mountain, Ye Chuqiu and the others can see the top of the mountain at a glance. Even if they climb up, they will probably be able to reach the top of the mountain in half an hour at most.
"Crow Mountain has a radius of about three miles and is all mountainous. It is indeed not worth much money. If Mrs. Lin wants it, it's okay to give it to you." Butler Nie gently stroked his beard and agreed with a smile.
"What did you say?"
Ye Chuqiu felt that he had heard wrongly, "You think it's okay to give such a big mountain to us? Are you kidding, or are you deliberately entertaining me?"
Ye Chuqiu said this with a look of shame, but his heart was beating loudly.
She really likes this mountain so much. Although it is not high or big, it is a mountain after all.
"Mrs. Lin, if I wanted to entertain you, why would I bring you to this place?"
Butler Nie laughed, "Nowadays, Dunchuan is a vast land with sparsely populated areas. Even ordinary refugees have come, and we still give them land. What's more, Mrs. Lin, who is kind and charitable, has accumulated a lot of benevolence. You donated to our Dunchuan before."
