Village Chief Jin slapped his thigh fiercely.
"Okay, that's really good. Is this how to do it?"
"Then I won't bother the village chief. I still have a lot of things to do."
"Go and do your work. If you have any difficulties, just come to me."
Su Yu thought to himself that it would be better to solve the problem on his own than to find any use in you, but he still had to give him the face he deserved.
"Thank you, village chief."
After coming out of the village chief's house, Su Yu went directly to the back mountain area. After a while, he saw Wang Kuan leading a large group of people over. More than half of the people were carrying empty burdens on their shoulders, and some were holding hoes and shovels. No one left empty-handed.
"Girl, these are the people this slave has brought for you."
When he came from the village chief's house, Su Yu asked Bai Mo to explain to Cao Zhi. When Wang Guan came back, he came directly to the back mountain.
Su Yu took a look, and estimated that there were more than a hundred people. Seeing Su Yu looking over, they all had flattering smiles on their faces. From the clothes of these people, it was easy to see that most of them were carrying large bags at the dock. Su Yu Yu suddenly thought of his father and smiled back at the group of people.
"Don't worry about the field side for now. Let's fill in the back hill first and then work on the field side."
"Girl, do you want to do all this?"
"Well, as long as it belongs to Jinjia Village, we will do it."
"Yes, girl."
Wang Kuan quickly made arrangements. Most of the time, more than ten people were responsible for each task. This arrangement was reasonable.
Su Yu didn't want to worry too much. She had a purpose in buying the land in Jinjia Village from the beginning. When the money from the government came down later, she didn't know what the villagers were going to do, and the back mountain didn't take much effort.
An entire mountain is gone, and the land area has been reduced by half. Now Jinjia Village has no land and all the land has been turned into fields. The yards of dozens of families stand alone in the middle.
After making sure that there was nothing wrong, Su Yu returned to the courtyard. Wu's lunch was also prepared. Su Yu and Bai Mo sat together to eat, and the other three servants sat together. After Cao Zhi had finished eating, he would give it to Wang Kuan. past.
As for the coolies recruited, Wang Kuan would not have thought of it, so most people bought two steamed buns or a few steamed buns in the city. Some people who worked all year round brought lunch from home in the morning and ate it directly at noon. No need to spend money.
After eating and shopping, Su Yu got on the carriage and returned to Yu Mansion.
Unexpectedly, Yu Zheng came again at night.
"Why are you acting like a thief? You come from a different yard and come here at night. It's like you're stealing from someone."
Yu Zheng was drinking tea when he heard Su Yu's words and choked. Stealing someone. Fortunately, this ugly girl could tell who he was stealing from. Couldn't he be stealing from her?
"You are overthinking. I came here today to give you money."
Yu Zheng said as he took out a wad of banknotes from his arms and handed them to Su Yu.
Su Yu's eyes were shining as he took over a dozen banknotes. They were all in denominations of one hundred taels. How much money was there?
"The total amount here is one hundred thousand taels. Since it's hard to talk about your affairs openly, the emperor asked me to transfer this money to you."
"Your Majesty is really generous."
Su Yu held a large pile of banknotes, his eyes narrowed into a thin line.
Yu Zheng knew that the girl in front of him loved money, but he didn't expect that she would love money like this. Looking at the money-obsessed look, it was simply impossible to look at her.
That's what he thought in his heart, but Yu Zheng's eyes were very honest and he couldn't help but look at Su Yu.
"The emperor also said that this matter is of great importance. You'd better just die in your stomach and pretend that nothing happened."
"You don't need to tell me, of course I know if you have anything else, just come back as soon as possible. I'm very busy so I won't see you off."
Sighing in his heart, he silently stood up and left the house, and happened to meet Su Sheng in the yard.
Su Sheng felt that the room was very stuffy tonight and planned to go out to the yard to read. Unexpectedly, he saw Yu Zheng coming out of his sister's room.
Seeing Su Sheng meet, Yu Zheng stepped forward and saluted.
"Brother Su is doing well recently."
"you……?"
The word "you" came out of Su Sheng's mouth and he really didn't know what to say next. Do you want to ask him how he got into the top exam and what happened to Yu Zheng at home? Su Sheng didn't believe that the two of them were the same person. If he If I remember correctly, during the Provincial Examination, Yu Zheng from home came to his house to help him with work. It was impossible for him to take the Provincial Examination. Moreover, Yu Zheng went from being a child student to the top scholar this year, and just missed the sixth grade. Xingyang Prefecture is far away from Kyoto. Yu Zheng should have rushed to Kyoto to take the joint examination as soon as he finished the provincial examination. That is to say, the person in Yujia Village was not Yu Zheng himself at all. His whole family was He lied.
"The one in the village was the substitute I found. I also had some unavoidable reasons. I hope Brother Su won't blame him."
Yu Zheng couldn't tell what Su Sheng was thinking.
"If you have nothing to do, please go back early. You and my sister are not husband and wife yet, so it would be inappropriate to meet in private."
"Brother Su reminds me that I will pay attention to it in the future."
Yu Zheng said goodbye and left after saluting, and Su Sheng was no longer in the mood to read in the yard. He didn't think that Yu Zheng would become his brother-in-law. He knew that his sister's temper was difficult to change once she had made up her mind.
Seeing that the person was gone, Su Yu closed the door and counted the banknotes in her hand one by one. She counted them three times in a row and made sure they were one hundred thousand taels. Then she reluctantly put them in a wooden box and hid them on the wall. After digging out a small hole, put it in and then plug it up with bricks. It would be difficult for people to find it unless it was intentional.
Lying on the bed, Su Yu was thinking about how she should spend the one hundred thousand taels of silver notes. She had to buy a shop. There were so many rich people in Kyoto, so the business should be much better than in Xinglin Town.
The next day, when Su Yu took her to Jinjia Village, the villagers were all happy. After asking, they found out that after she left yesterday, the government sent them money to buy rocks and fields. It’s all calculated as 10 taels per acre. The family with the least land in Jinjia Village has received 110 taels. It’s strange that they can’t be happy. Seeing Su Yu now, everyone was happy but regretted in their hearts. If they had not sold part of the land to the Su family a few days ago, they would have received more money now.
Seeing Su Yu coming over now, everyone was jealous. How could Miss Su's life be so good? With the government's intervention, the money spent on buying the land was repaid and doubled.
The people who hadn't gone far after hearing the news yesterday came over very early in the morning and sat in their own yards crying. It was so miserable that all their fields were sold to Su Yu. The extra money has nothing to do with them.
Seeing Su Yu coming, a woman immediately ran over.
"Miss Su, my family's land is not for sale. You can return it to me. I will return all the money you spent to buy the land to you. As long as you give me the money the government issued to buy the stones."
This person is Niu, a well-known shrew in Jinjia Village. She will do anything for money. She would come to Su Yu to make trouble. The people in Jinjia Village are not surprised at all. They want to see Su Yu now. What is the girl going to do? If the Niu family can really take back the land from her, then theirs can be done too, right?
Su Yu knows that this head cannot be opened. If it is opened, the fields in her hands will not be saved. You can't buy the fields around Kyoto now if you have money. Where will she buy them if they are gone?
