Ruoxuan came to the Yamen and met the Yamen official who had rewarded her with a mansion last time.
Ruoxuan said happily: "Hello, Uncle Yamen!"
Ruoshui and Liu also greeted the Yamen.
The Yamen official was also happy to see Xuan Bao and said, "Is it Xuan Bao? Why are you here at the Yamen? Do you have anything good to give to the county magistrate?"
Then he greeted Ruoshui and Liu respectfully.
This weak family is the first to receive a reward from the emperor in this county!
Ruoxuan: "No, I came here to buy the wasteland outside the city. Can the wasteland outside the city be sold?"
As soon as the official heard this, he said: "Which wasteland outside the city? I will help you see if there is an owner. If there is no owner, you can buy it."
"It's just the wasteland at the east city gate."
"No one seems to be buying that piece of wasteland. Let me check. Come in and sit down, have a cup of tea and wait." The Yamen took them into the Yamen's office that is responsible for buying and selling land. After asking them to sit down, He went to the land registrar to help him check.
The new county magistrate's first priority was to seize water conservancy and wasteland. Therefore, the wasteland in the city had been recently counted. The director in charge of the land clearly remembered that the wasteland near the east city gate was ownerless.
Who will buy that piece of wasteland that is too far from the water source?
The Yamen happily told Ruoxuan the news: "The large piece of wasteland near the east city gate is ownerless and can be bought."
When Xiuxuan heard this, she immediately waved her chubby hand: "Then let's go measure it now, I'll buy it right away!"
The officer looked at Weoshui. Xuan Bao was too small. She said she wanted to buy it, so I'm afraid it wouldn't count.
Ruoshui smiled and said: "I bought it! Please send someone to arrange a manpower to measure it with us."
The officer smiled and said, "Okay, I'll have someone measure it for you."
Soon, the envoy in charge of the measurement set off with a few yamen, two long bamboo poles and a bundle of ropes.
A group of people soon arrived at the wasteland at the east city gate.
The envoy asked: "Which piece do you plan to buy and how big will it be?"
Ruoxuan looked at the place where the purple gas was coming out, made an estimate, and then pointed with her little hand: "From the official road all the way north to the banyan tree in the distance, this entire wasteland will be destroyed."
Several cadres came over to take measurements: "."
How powerful is the little girl's eyes? She can see clearly even a banyan tree in the distance?
It can't be that she has been to that end, right?
That’s more than a mile away!
"Then the wasteland on the right is relatively small. I even want the mountain top."
The envoys and yamen's eyes widened. My dear, does this add up to three to four thousand acres of wasteland?
This piece of wasteland is too far away from the water source. It is not convenient to open it for planting. I don't know what they bought it for.
Nothing can be grown without water!
Otherwise, this piece of wasteland is so close to the city, and there are many wealthy people in the city. Wouldn't they buy it and cultivate it?
It’s because everyone knows that nothing will grow if they grow, and they have to pay taxes every year, which is a loss-making business, so no one buys it.
The envoy asked what everyone was thinking: "Miss Xuanbao, there is so much wasteland, what do you plan to plant?"
After looking at the terrain nearby, Ruoshui didn't understand the purpose of Xuan Bao's purchase.
The land is too barren and too far away from the water source, so it is really not suitable for growing things.
Ruoxuan shook her head: "I don't know yet. I just saw that this land is good, so I bought it first."
She is not worried about water, there will be water.
Everyone: "."
Do you think this place is good?
How good is this place?
Don’t you see that all the people’s garbage in the city is thrown into this wasteland?
The envoy couldn't help but persuade after hearing this: "This land is too barren. You can't grow anything without water. And if you buy so much, it adds up to three to four thousand acres. The annual taxes are quite a lot."
Ruoxuan nodded: "I know, I'll buy it first, and then I'll think about what to plant. Is it still buy one get one free for the wasteland now?"
Don't be in a hurry, Xiuxuan, now is not the time, when the time comes, you will naturally know what the use of this land is.
Although she could use magic to predict it, she had better forget it and don't waste her spiritual power.
Now her spiritual power is used every day to cultivate the fruit tree saplings up the mountain, so that they can grow roots quickly and then be transplanted.
"It's buy one, get one free, but buy one, get one free. It's not cost-effective for you to buy so much wasteland at once!"
Ruoxuan: "It's a good deal to buy one acre and get one acre free! Could you please help me measure it out?"
Ruoshui knew that Xuan Bao was too young and they would not believe what she said, so he also said, "I'm sorry for bothering you, adults!"
When the envoy saw that Ruoshui, the head of the family, said this, he stopped persuading him.
If someone buys wasteland and can sell it, collecting more taxes is also a political achievement.
To be honest, if they didn't have some friendship with the county magistrate, he wouldn't say a word and just sold it.
Anyway, he has already reminded me, so it can be considered as the most benevolent thing.
The envoy said: "There is no need to measure these two pieces of wasteland. Your Excellency has sent us to measure it before. I remember that there are more than 3,000 acres in total, close to 4,000 acres. The top of the mountain seems to be 400 to 500 acres. Since you We need almost all of them, we will go back to the Yamen directly to check."
The group of people hurried back to the Yamen.
The envoy checked and said: "The wasteland on the left side of the official road is 1,560 acres in total, the wasteland on the right is 1,756 acres in total, and the top of the mountain is 496 acres. Added up Three thousand eight hundred and twelve acres, so let’s count it as three thousand eight hundred and ten acres. If you buy one mu and get one mu free, you need a total of one thousand nine hundred and five taels. The land tax and deed tax add up to 20 taels, which is one thousand Nine hundred and twenty-five taels.”
The envoy reminded: "Or you can go to the county magistrate and ask if you can calculate it based on the last price."
The last time the village chief helped them buy land, he happened to meet the county magistrate and it was much cheaper.
Moreover, land tax and deed tax are also exempted.
This time I didn’t encounter it. The price of land is set. Without the consent of the county magistrate, the pian did not dare to lower the price privately. He only dared to reduce the price by one or two acres. Otherwise, if the county magistrate did not agree, he would have to pay for the price difference!
Ruoxuan waved her hand: "No need to bother the magistrate, just take as much as you need."
This land is a blessed land, and it will bring a lot of money in the future. It is cheaper to buy it from the county magistrate, so that no one will say that the county magistrate is partial in the future.
She didn't want to cause trouble to the county magistrate, nor did she want the land to cause controversy.
Ruoshui nodded: "That's right, you can count as much as you need!"
Being a man of contentment and being greedy will not end well.
Ruoxuan decisively counted out two thousand taels of silver notes from her Qiankun bag.
The envoy found her a fifty-tael silver note and twenty-five taels of silver.
Then he went to write the title deed to them.
Ruoshui hurriedly reminded: "The land deed says my Xuanbao's name, Ruoxuan."
"Okay, the weak master loves his daughter very much! Miss Xuanbao is now a big landowner!" As far as he knew, the hundreds of acres of barren land and mountains were also named after Miss Xuanbao.
Ruoshui smiled: "The land was bought with the money Xuan Bao earned, so it is naturally her name."
