Everyone in the Jiang family nodded. They already knew that two pieces of land were allocated to build a house.
However, they are all native-born farmers, and they feel uneasy without the land in their hands.
The old village chief looked at the people gathered outside, waved his hands towards them and said, "Is there nothing to do every day? Stop hanging around."
Then he looked at Jiang Yuchao and said, "Come in with me and talk."
There were many Jiang family members and there were oxcarts, so they didn't all go in.
Jiang Zhiyue, Mr. Jiang, Jiang Yuchao, Wang Fugui and Mu Ran went in together, while the others stayed outside to look at things.
No one was surprised when Mr. Jiang and the others went in, but they were discussing something, so why did the pretty girl follow them in and cause trouble.
Everyone couldn't help but take a second look at Jiang Zhiyue, and then felt that this girl was really pretty.
Jiang Zhiyue and the others went in, but no one around them left either.
They gathered around the people left outside by the Jiang family and started talking.
After Jiang Zhiyue and the other five were invited in, they followed the village chief in.
The village chief said straight to the point: "Aren't you a family?"
Jiang Yuchao said: "We are indeed not the same family."
The village chief stroked the beard on his chin, looked at them and said: "The government has only allocated you two pieces of land. You can decide how to divide this land."
"There is a lot of open space in the village, but you have to build your own house. There is a homestead not far away in front of the village. The area behind the village near the mountain is quite big, but you probably won't need such a big land. I will show you later.
You go and choose where you want to build your house."
"As for the land you said you want, you have to spend money to buy it."
Mu Ran smiled and stepped forward and handed the village chief two taels of silver.
It is right to establish a good relationship with the village chief first before living in this village.
"Village chief, please help me with the arrangements. With this little money, you can buy two jugs of wine."
The village chief didn't refuse. He glanced at the money that was stuffed into his hand and put it in his arms.
However, after accepting the money, he still said a few more words: "Our fertile land costs six taels of silver per acre, and dry land costs 4 taels of silver per acre. If you want to buy land, I can help you ask the village if they want to sell the land."
Go."
Jiang Yuchao smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble the village chief more."
"Well, we just said that there are a lot of unowned homesteads in our village. Do you think we can buy a few more pieces of land with our money?"
When they registered in the county after setting off from Luocheng, the county government allocated two pieces of land.
They also agreed that one of the two houses would be given to the Wang family and the other to the Jiang family.
But when they asked, the homestead was not as big as the Jiang family's original home in Jiangjia Village.
It's enough room for the four members of the Wang family, but there are a lot of Jiang family members, the Wangs are about to give birth to two children, and now there are siblings Ming Yixi, Ming Yuanqing, Zhang Xiaoyan and Bai Yifeng, so the place will definitely not be enough.
So they discussed that if there was any spare space in the village, they would buy it and build a bigger house.
As a result, there were quite a few unowned houses in this village, which was just what they wanted.
The village chief was a little surprised after hearing Jiang Yuchao's words and asked: "Buy land and build a house?"
Although there are quite a lot of them, isn't that the case in every household?
If the house is not enough to live in, it will be overcrowded.
Thinking that they had just fled from famine, he kindly reminded them: "You have just arrived, so you should save some money in your hands. There will be many people who will need money in the future."
He just saw that all the boys outside were almost at the age of getting married.
It doesn't cost any money for a boy to get married, so he doesn't know how to save some money.
Moreover, buying a homestead is more expensive than a paddy field. If they can't come up with so much money, his work will be in vain.
Jiang Yuchao smiled and said: "Thank you to the village chief for your concern, but I still have some money left. The village chief will just help us find a place. I will definitely not delay the money."
Seeing this, the village chief did not try to persuade him anymore. He said, "Okay, then you guys come with me to the village to look at the land and see which piece of land you want to choose. Then I will help you ask if there is anyone who wants to sell their land.
"
Seeing that the village chief was about to stand up and prepare to leave, Jiang Zhiyue suddenly said: "Can you trouble the village chief to help us find a rentable house in the village?"
The village chief turned to Jiang Zhiyue and asked, "Why are you looking for an empty house?"
Jiang Zhiyue smiled and said, "Let's rent it for a while and wait until the new house is built. Does the village chief have any suitable recommendations?"
Jiang Yuchao slapped his head and he really forgot about it.
If they don't find a house to live in first, wouldn't they have to set up tents to live in the village?
The village chief obviously just remembered this, but he quickly gave Jiang Zhiyue and the others a reply.
"There is an unoccupied place. That family has moved to the town. The houses in the village are also big brick houses with tiles."
Mr. Jiang asked: "Can this house be rented?"
"Yes, yes, but they ask for one hundred pence a day, can you rent it?"
Mr. Wang Fugui was hesitant. One hundred cents a day, no matter how fast the house was, it would take dozens of days. Then the money would slip out like water.
He tugged on Mr. Jiang's sleeve and whispered: "Why don't we rent it? The tent we use on the road is also quite windproof."
Mr. Jiang looked at Jiang Zhiyue.
Jiang Zhiyue took out another one tael of silver and stuffed it into the village chief's hand, and said with a smile: "Then please introduce the village chief to us, and we can rent that house for a period of time."
The village chief held the silver in his hand and was really silent this time.
He wanted to collect some favors, but is money so worthless now?
In just this moment, they gave me three taels of silver, and their family wouldn't be able to earn that much in half a year.
The village chief touched the hot broken silver in his hand, and then... decisively stuffed it into his arms.
He smiled and said: "Okay, since you are willing, I can take you there now."
"Let's go, look at the houses and choose a house quickly."
Jiang Zhiyue and the others followed the village chief out again, and during the conversation they also learned that the village chief's family's surname was Gu.
Most of the residents in the village have the surname Gu. However, there are only a few residents in Guhuai Village with scattered surnames, and there are many other surnames.
When they walked out of the village chief's house, they found that many people were still waiting outside, but they were all chatting with the Jiang family.
Mrs. Jiang and the others who stayed behind instantly turned into social experts and had a great time chatting with the people outside.
Saburo, Shiro and the others also mingled with the children who came to play.
These boys are also good-looking, and even the girls in the village like them.
Jiang Zhiyue, who came out and saw this scene: "..." You guys are awesome!
As expected of you, you actually broke into the interior directly.
