Between Wolong Valley and Beishan is a long and narrow area, which together covers an area of almost a thousand acres.
However, it is basically wasteland, and when it comes to irrigation, even if someone opens up wasteland, they will not be able to create a thousand acres of farmland.
If Yun Chao can take over so much wasteland, Lai Zhicheng will no longer have to worry about completing the wasteland reclamation task in his lifetime.
Three years later, taxes began to be paid on the reclaimed land. Lai Zhi's achievements became even better. Wolong Village had an extra thousand acres of farmland. Do we still have to worry about not completing the tax collection task?
As for whether Yun Chao could clear out so much wasteland, grow crops, and pay taxes, that was none of Lai Zhicheng's business.
It would be best to let the government capture Yun Er and distribute him to the frontier. The cultivated fields would become ownerless land and would naturally belong to him as the village leader.
What? Muramasa also has to pay taxes?
It doesn't matter, money can make all the difference. As long as the money is in place, the fields on the north bank of Wolong Valley will turn back into "barren" fields and disappear from the government files.
So, after some fierce bargaining, Lai Zhicheng pretended to grit his teeth and agreed to use all the wasteland on the north bank of Wolong Valley, plus fifty taels of silver, in exchange for Yun Chao's exclusive fishing secrets!
Lai Zhicheng was already happy. He only spent fifty taels of silver in exchange for Yun Chao's secret fishing skills, and he could also get thousands of acres of fertile land for free.
Of course, thousands of acres of fertile farmland are still uncultivated, waiting for Yunchao to develop them.
Land reclamation requires registration, which cannot be done by a village leader. Yun Chao and Lai Zhicheng must go to the county government office together.
However, the money can be received first. If not, Yunchao will not go to the county to register with him.
After agreeing to go to the county early the next morning, Lai Zhicheng asked his eldest son Lai Shouren to deliver fifty taels of silver.
"Yun Er, hide the money well, don't blame me if it gets stolen."
Lai Shouren's voice was so sinister that Yun Chao was impatient to listen to him. It was uncomfortable. He would rather listen to his brother's drake voice.
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, the money is in my hands, of course it has nothing to do with you, just leave now!"
Lai Shouren was furious. Why didn't you just let me go before you took the money?
After sending Lai Shouren away, everyone began to say goodbye to Yun Chao.
Everyone looked at him with strange eyes. Unexpectedly, Yun Er, who was looked down upon by many people, suddenly changed. Could this be the legendary prodigal son turning back?
However, Yun Er's mind was obviously not very bright. He was half-sold and half-gifted to Lai Zhicheng, who was clearly a way to make money. He was probably still afraid of Lai's revenge, so this was a helpless move.
Alas, the sorrow of the common people!
Although they felt it was a pity, everyone was still envious. Yun Chao got fifty taels of silver in one fell swoop. Everyone present counted it. No one had ever seen so much money. Yun Er got it!
While envious, I can't help but feel a little worried about Yun Chao.
Everyone knows that Yun Er's troubles have just begun.
Not to mention whether Lai Zhicheng will take revenge, the thousand acres of wasteland on the north bank of Wolong Valley alone is like a man-eating tiger, even more powerful than a tiger!
"Super brother..."
"Why……"
Everyone wanted to say something, but in the end nothing was said.
What can you say now?
When Yun Chao wanted to exchange with Lai Zhicheng before, it was not like everyone had not tried to persuade him, but Yun Chao had to insist on the one thousand acres of wasteland. He was as obsessed with it as he was and turned a deaf ear to everyone's persuasion.
Look, there will be times when you will regret it!
Fortunately, there is no need to pay taxes on the reclaimed land for three years. Yun Er still has time to prepare. If it is not possible, he can just escape when the time comes. There are many people fleeing in Wolong Village, so they may not necessarily have to die.
Of course Yun Chao knew everyone's psychology, but he didn't explain it.
One is that it is difficult to explain, and the other is that it cannot be explained.
He is now a man of few words, and even if he says something, no one will believe him.
Moreover, once some words get out, they may cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
To Yun Chao's relief, Aunt Wang didn't call Shitou back, knowing that he might be in trouble, and Shitou didn't propose to part ways with him.
"Shitou, I will go to the city with Lai Zhicheng tomorrow, and you will go too."
"good!"
Shitou agreed readily, thinking that Yun Chao was afraid of Lai Zhicheng and wanted him to be a bodyguard.
In fact, Yun Chao wanted to let Shitou gain experience and help carry some things back.
With thousands of acres of wasteland in his hands, leaving it idle is not an option. If he doesn't make use of it as soon as possible, Yun Chao will really cry.
After everyone left, Lin Youniang was no longer calm.
"Second brother, where should we put so much money?"
"Second brother, what should I do if a thief comes to steal at night?"
"Second brother, I won't sleep tonight. I'm looking at the money. If anyone dares to steal it, I will fight him to the death!"
"..."
Yun Chao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could he be so nervous with just fifty taels of silver? If he had hundreds of thousands of taels of silver at home, the little girl wouldn't be schizophrenic!
"Stop hiding it, just put it under my pillow, and I will spend it when I go to town tomorrow. Now you can rest assured, right?"
"Huh? Spend it tomorrow?"
Not only was Lin Youniang not relieved, she was even more worried.
"Second brother, we...we finally got money, you...don't spend it randomly!"
Yun Chao smiled slightly: "Little girl, don't worry about it. Go to bed with peace of mind. The bread will drip and the milk will drip."
"Noodle...bread? What is that?"
Yun Chao: "..."
Early the next morning.
Before Yun Chao had eaten, Lai Zhicheng arrived.
"Yun Er, hurry up and take your time. Do you want to regret it?"
"Muramasa, don't worry, you have to let me finish my meal. How can I hurry up when I'm hungry?"
Can you not be anxious? Lai Zhicheng paid fifty taels of silver. If Yun Er ran away with the money, he would have no place to cry.
If Yun Chao hadn't refused to let go, how could Lai Zhicheng give him the money in the first place.
After returning home yesterday, the more Lai Zhicheng thought about it, the more worried he became, and he hardly slept a wink all night.
"What? You still want to eat? What are you going to eat so early? You can eat it when you get back!"
Lai Zhicheng was so angry that his stomach bulged. He, the majestic village leader of Wolong Village, was reluctant to eat breakfast. Yun Er, a little brat, actually had breakfast. He was really a loser who couldn't keep leftover buns in the doghouse and couldn't stand up to the table. stuff...
Well, what is this boy Yun Er eating? Why is it so delicious?
