After the carriage left the city, Ruoshui stopped for a moment and looked at the notice.
There are not only notices, but also a layout map of the moat. The red line depicts the canal that the Yamen plans to dig.
This moat connects the east and west, diverting water from the Xishui River to flow from east to west. It not only brings water to the wasteland at the east city gate, but also facilitates the irrigation of the dry land, wasteland and mountains in the west. It can be said that when this moat is dug out , will surely turn tens of thousands of acres of wasteland into fertile farmland within a few years!
Really benefit the people.
"Xuan Bao, you really bought the right land. I was worried before that there was no water source and I couldn't grow anything here, but I didn't expect that the court suddenly built a moat. With the moat, it is really convenient to divert water from the moat for irrigation. That's it." Ruoshui said happily.
Ruoxuan always believed that she would not buy the wrong thing. She said happily: "After returning home, we will ask the villagers to plant the land. Spring has come after the new year, which is perfect for planting flowers."
Upon hearing this, Ruoshui understood why Xuan Bao wanted to plant flowers. He was probably moved by seeing the flowers in those years.
As for whether he can grow it, Xuanbao can even cultivate fruit seedlings, so why can’t he grow flowers?
He said without hesitation: "Okay, when dad gets back, he will ask the villagers to come over and clear out the land in advance."
Mrs. Lei also followed to see the layout plan. She said: "With the moat, many nearby wastelands have become good places for water conservancy. Fourth brother, let's go home quickly and inform your elder brother and the others to see if they can come." Come buy some wild land.”
The wasteland bought by Xuan Bao will belong to Xuan Bao from now on, no one can think about it.
The tree has big branches, and several sons and grandsons will be separated sooner or later. It is rare to have good land now. The boss is not crazy these days, the second child’s feet are healed, and the third child’s eyes are healed. They don’t have to spend money to buy medicine, and they have medicine in their hands. If you make a lot of money and have good wasteland, you should want to buy it.
Although it is far away from here, they also have a royal palace in the city. When the farming is busy, they can ask people to help. It is enough for one person in the family to live in the mansion and look after it.
And Xuan Bao was right, several brothers were studying in the city, so they could live in the mansion by clearing out one or two courtyards.
"Okay." Ruoshui agreed upon hearing this. He immediately speeded up and went back to inform his elder brothers.
The notice has just been posted now. It will take him a quarter of an hour to go back and two-quarters of an hour to go back. He doesn't know if he will make it in time.
After all, when the notice is posted, everyone will think of buying all the land near the moat. Anyway, there is no need to worry about no water for irrigation. It will be fertile land after a few years.
Thinking about it this way, he really felt that Xuan Bao was so prescient!
They bought the large piece of wasteland outside the city gate a month ago. If they waited until now, it might not be their turn to buy it.
After all, they don't live in the city, so they don't have as much information as the people in the city.
We met by chance today.
Ruo Shui flicked his riding whip to make the horse run faster.
In less than a quarter of an hour, they returned to the village. As soon as the carriage stopped, Ruoshui unloaded the goods from the carriage and shouted: "Big brother, second brother, third brother, sixth brother, come out quickly! Let's go buy land." !hurry up!"
Ruozhou and Mrs. Lei also helped to help the things get off the carriage.
The people at home ran out after he shouted so loudly.
"Buy land, what land?"
"You don't have to be in such a hurry to buy land, right? The land won't run away!"
"Didn't you go to the city? Why did you come back and say you wanted to buy land?"
Mrs. Lei and Ruoshui explained the matter of the moat one by one.
Upon hearing this, the brothers felt that this land was worth buying, and if it was too late, it might be gone!
"Go! Go! Go buy it quickly!"
"Stop talking, go take a look, and talk slowly on the way! Buy the land first."
So the brothers got on the carriage again and headed for the city.
Ruoxuan didn't follow. The layout of the moat was revealed. It was clear at a glance which areas were good and which were not.
I just don’t know if the uncle and the others can still buy it.
It doesn't matter if she didn't buy it. She bought so much that everyone can share some.
The county government office was overcrowded.
Many people saw the moat layout map posted by the yamen and immediately thought of buying land.
Wilderness lands along the Red Line are available for purchase.
There are many wealthy families in the city, and they all want to strike first.
Especially the wasteland outside the East City Gate, how convenient it is! Whether it is used for farming or growing vegetables, it is good.
Most people in the city rely on buying fresh vegetables if they want to eat them. If there is a piece of land outside the city gate to grow vegetables, and there is no vegetables at home, they can pick a handful of fresh vegetables as soon as they leave the city gate. , simply not too convenient.
Moreover, wasteland is cheap and buy one get one free, so most people in the city flock to the Yamen and clamor to buy land.
Several envoys and government officials were busy dealing with the people who came to buy land.
"No more. The wasteland at the east city gate is gone. It was sold a month ago! The county magistrate said that the other wastelands will be given priority to the villagers in the village near the wasteland. Each villager can buy one acre of land first. Only if the villagers don’t buy it will other people buy it.”
"It's really gone. The land at the east city gate already has an owner! There's no way to sell it!"
Some people left disappointed when they heard that their land was sold, but some people were not willing to accept it.
Especially those who are rich and have powerful relatives at home.
They thought that people from the yamen got the news in advance and bought the land in advance or notified their relatives and friends in advance to buy it.
There were even people from the yamen who took bribes and deliberately sold the land in advance to keep the money from the court.
After all, the prices of these lands have increased now, and there is no longer buy one, get one free for every two acres.
Some people were unwilling to take a piece of fat and did not get a piece of it themselves, so they deliberately caused trouble: "Why was it that the land was sold out as soon as the notice was posted, or was it sold a month ago? A month ago, there were no weeds growing there. Who will buy the wasteland? Did the people from the Yamen release the news of building the moat in advance and let people buy all the good land in advance? "
As soon as these words came out, those who originally wanted to buy land, but found out that it was no longer available and were planning to leave, stopped.
yes!
There was no water source in that wasteland. If they hadn't known about the construction of the moat in advance, who would have bought it?
The grass is not dense!
Someone in the yamen must have sold the news in advance!
They thought the county magistrate was a good official, but they didn't expect that he was also a corrupt official!
The more everyone thought about it, the angrier they became, and couldn't help but curse: "That large piece of wasteland has no water, and even the grass doesn't grow well! No one has bought it for so many years, how come it was suddenly bought by someone a month ago? It must be your yamen The people took money from certain people, sold the land in advance, and squandered the money! This is not fair. These lands should be on a first-come, first-served basis when notices are posted!"
"That's right! It's unfair for the yamen to do this to ordinary people like us. They should be sold together when the notice is posted, on a first-come, first-served basis! It's unfair for you to sell the best land in advance privately!"
"It's not fair. We can't sell it in advance. We want to buy the land! You corrupt officials must have bought the land yourself."
I have something to do this afternoon, so I only had time to code an update in the morning. See you tomorrow~
