Chapter 257 Ye Xiang is not something you can buy if you want
The Yao family's land is quite good. Even if it is confiscated and then sold, the price will not be too low. If you want to buy land, you will need a lot of money.
"That's enough." Lu Yan said.
If he had no money, how could he buy her a two hundred tael bracelet?
"That's good."
"The Yao family has a village with walls all built." Lu Yan said, "I will go to Brother Yuan later and ask him to help me to see if I can help buy that village."
"This is a good one. It has a wall, so outsiders can't peep into the village." He Yunxi said, "But the price is not low, right?"
"Leave it to me." Lu Yan said.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Since He Yunxi knew that he was reborn, he didn't pay so much attention to Lu Yan's studies. Plus with Xie Yuanming here, even if he didn't have an academy, the master over there wouldn't say anything.
.
The next day, the main criminal man of the Lu family was sentenced to beheaded by the Queen of Autumn, the other men and women were sentenced to exile, and the Yao family was ransacked.
A century-old family in Liaocheng was destroyed in an instant.
At noon the next day, Yuan Hewen came over with several house deeds, land deeds, and mountain deeds. Lu Yan didn't expect him to be so fast, and he hadn't even given the money to the Yuan family.
"Forget it." Yuan Hewen said, "My father said, this is my reward for you."
"Repay? What reward?"
"This time the Yao family was ransacked, and our family ate a lot." Yuan Hewen said with a smile, "If you hadn't told us in advance, how could we have eaten so much. This village is not big, my father said
I'll give it to you. If you want to give me money, my father will break my legs when I get back."
Yuan Hewen tried hard to say no, but finally Lu Yan made the decision and accepted it.
He Yunxi could not accept this thank you gift.
After seeing Yuan Hewen off, Lu Yan asked, "Do you want to see Zhuangzi?"
"Okay!" He Yunxi has been selecting these seeds for the past two days, picking out some that are dry and the rest are relatively plump.
Now just wait for the land to be obtained and start sowing.
The two of them didn't take anyone else with them, they just asked the driver to drive them to the outskirts of Liocheng.
The Yao family's Zhuangzi is not far from Liaocheng. It only takes a quarter of an hour or two for a carriage to pass after leaving the city gate, and it is not far from the official road. The Luo River passes through Zhuangzi.
Money really can't buy a place like this.
In addition to a large area of heaven and earth, there is also a large courtyard in Zhuangzi and a row of houses in the distance.
He Yunxi was a little surprised when he saw the pieces of land: "Shouldn't it be spring planting by now? Why are these lands still empty?"
"Originally, we were supposed to plant at the beginning of the month, but didn't something happen at the beginning of the month? The rest were empty. I took a look and found that there were enough corn plants." Lu Yan said.
He Yunxi was speechless: "How big is this Zhuangzi?"
"About two to three thousand acres." Lu Yan said, "This is not the largest village in the Yao family, but it is the best. In addition to fertile land, it is also the best land."
He Yunxi sighed, "What a rich man!"
If I were to buy this Zhuangzi myself, well, I couldn't afford it.
"We don't need to take care of the land that was planted before. The remaining land will be used to grow corn." He Yunxi said, "However, I don't know if there is water storage here, and whether the corn can survive this year's drought."
"If there is one, we will start to store water. If there is not, we will seize the time to build one." Lu Yan said, "There should be such a big village."
He Yunxi also thinks there should be one. Otherwise, it would be too inconvenient to point to Luohe River for watering. It would be too inconvenient to go far away.
"Who was cultivating this land in the past? Did they go out as tenants, or did they hire long-term workers?"
"None of them. A servant bought by the Yao family."
He Yunxi was a little surprised, "It's a bit unreasonable for such a big village to just buy people to farm."
"It's indeed unreasonable." Lu Yan said, "Is there any secret that needs to be covered up here?"
"It's possible. But we don't have time to explore this secret now." He Yunxi said, "Now we have to hurry up and plant the corn."
"What are you going to do?"
"If it's 700 acres, it will probably require some people." He Yunxi said.
"You can hire a permanent laborer this time," Lu Yan said. "Later, we can rent it out or hire a permanent laborer."
If there are other secrets here, that's a different matter.
"I don't know if there is any secret here. I want to invite some people from the Yuan family first." He Yunxi said, "In other words, do you have anyone there?"
"There are people, but not many who know how to farm. Corn is so important, it would be bad if it goes bad." Lu Yan was a little worried.
"No. Corn cultivation is very simple and does not require any skills." He Yunxi said, "As long as you are an individual, you should be able to do it."
"Okay, some people can come tomorrow, and some people will come later." Lu Yan responded.
It would be a good idea to let them come, as it would be a good time to recognize the mistress.
"Ah, by the way, there is one more thing I forgot." He Yunxi patted his forehead and suddenly remembered something very important.
"What?"
"Where can I buy this night fragrance?"
Lu Yan: "...I don't know, I guess I have to go back and ask."
"You need to apply fertilizer before sowing corn. If there is not enough night fragrance, it will affect the corn harvest." He Yunxi said, "Let's ask Brother Yuan when we get back."
"Um."
The two walked around the field for a while and then went to the yard.
This mansion is very large, but there is no one there at the moment. The people who usually stay here are the servants of the Yao family. When the Yao family fell, these servants were locked up and had to be sold again.
These people were caught in a hurry, and except for the courtyard door being locked, they looked like they were occupied.
He Yunxi took a tour and found out that this place is very big. There are more than a dozen warehouses and so on, and there are also large open-air drying areas outside. There are several large courtyards with dozens of houses. Moreover, each courtyard is extremely luxuriously decorated.
, full of the smell of money.
And this is one of many Zhuangzi in the Yao family.
He Yunxi sighed while visiting. After visiting with Lu Yan, he found that it was too late and hurried back to the city.
Before the curfew, the two went to find Yuan Hewen. Yuan Hewen was dumbfounded when he heard their request.
He thought they were here to invite him to dinner, but it turned out that they came here specifically to ask him about Ye Xiang?
Where is the night fragrance?
How does he know where the night fragrance is?!
In the end, Yuan Hewen's servant went to find the servant who was responsible for pouring night fragrance in the mansion and asked him, and then he knew where to find night fragrance.
He Yunxi asked the servant to buy some for him. He would need it in the next few days. Seeing that Yuan Hewen had no objection, the servant agreed.
He Yunxi gave him two taels of silver for his hard work, because this Ye Xiang could not be bought just because he wanted to buy it, and he had to find connections and so on.
Yuan Hewen is so magical. This night fragrance that he hates so much is so difficult to buy?
