Chapter 122 Lin Luoxi's Popularity

"You're planning to buy all the wasteland and mountain land?" Master Yang also pulled out the land deeds for the land that Lin Luoxi needed. Upon looking at them, he saw that they were all wasteland and mountain land. He asked Lin Luoxi uncertainly.

"Well, the current plan is to buy all the land around my house first. We can buy more fields later if we have other plans!" Knowing that Master Yang was doing this for her own good, Lin Luoxi shared her thoughts.

“Miss Lin, you’re looking to buy quite a few wastelands and mountain lands. Are you sure…” As Master Yang pulled out the land deeds, Mu Qing also leaned over to take a look.

It's a full thousand acres, which is no small amount. Mu Qing wanted to kindly remind Lin Luoxi.

"It's alright, let me take a look first. If I don't have enough money on hand, I can buy half first." Lin Luoxi carefully calculated her savings in her mind, which should be more than a thousand taels...

"Will you buy again in the future?" Lin Zhousheng asked again in surprise after hearing Lin Luoxi's words.

It was because of this remark that the officials in the yamen noticed the presence of the two people.

“Village Chief Lin is here too, that’s perfect. Come and take a look and see if the places Miss Lin mentioned are the same as those on my land deed.” Master Yang looked up and beckoned to Zhou Sheng.

Lin Zhousheng felt a little disappointed. They came together, and he only just realized they were there. Were they really that insignificant?

However, Master Yang's words could not be ignored, so he jogged over.

As Master Yang searched, he only needed to nod or shake his head.

Master Yang carefully placed all the land deeds that Lin Zhousheng had confirmed, and after he had looked them all over, he would use an abacus to calculate them all at once.

“Miss Lin, I just did a quick calculation and the area you mentioned is 810 mu.”

"Both wasteland and mountainous land are currently offered at preferential rates. Since your wasteland and mountainous land haven't been cultivated and are relatively barren, I'll charge you 500 cash. Also, there's a 2 tael silver processing fee for processing the land deed..."

Before Master Yang finished speaking, he was implying to Lin Luoxi that if she didn't have that much money, she could buy less. They all knew each other, so she shouldn't be afraid of losing face, but rather care about saving face.

Lin Luoxi didn't answer Master Yang's question immediately, but instead considered it in her mind.

Five hundred cash is equivalent to half a tael of silver. Eight hundred and ten mu would only cost a little over four hundred taels of silver, which would be more than enough.

"Uncle Yang, look, is this enough?" Lin Luoxi calculated in her mind that it was within her budget, and readily took out the money.

She had already spent over four hundred taels of silver, so she didn't mind spending two taels and paid very readily.

He generously pulled out a five-hundred-tael silver note, which was the amount he had settled with Manager Xu earlier.

"My God, did you really buy them all?" Lin Zhousheng was so shocked when he saw Lin Luoxi's actions and looked at the silver notes in front of Master Yang that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Hiss~" The constables and yamen runners who had just tried to persuade Lin Luoxi all gasped in shock.

This girl is really generous; she's so open-handed, taking out so much money all at once.

Fortunately, the words of advice were not spoken aloud, otherwise, they would have become the clowns.

This was the first time Master Yang had ever seen a young woman with so much silver. He was so shocked that he accidentally plucked out several hairs from his beard.

He found Lin Luoxi, who had acted so generously, to be even more familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Lin Luoxi asked, puzzled, noticing that everyone was looking at her.

"No, no..." Master Yang felt that he was really too unsteady. He had been a master clerk for so many years and had seen all kinds of situations. He was actually shocked by this girl's skill. He was becoming more and more pathetic.

"Tomorrow, I will personally bring people to measure the area for you."

After carefully checking the silver notes in front of him, he returned the change to Lin Luoxi and also gave her the land deed he was holding.

"Okay!" Lin Luoxi took the stack of land deeds handed over by Master Yang, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

From today onwards, she is the landlady who rules the mountain.

Seeing these land deeds, Lin Luoxi felt as if a lot of money was beckoning to her.

From entering the government office to Lin Luoxi paying the money, and then to obtaining the land deed, Lin Dayou had no chance to interrupt the entire process.

He himself was still in shock from Lin Luoxi's actions; if the constables hadn't congratulated him, he wouldn't have even realized what was happening.

Good heavens, is it because he didn't get enough sleep that he's having such a vivid hallucination?

After a heavy rain, their family went from being penniless and unemployed to becoming landlords?

"Uncle Zhou, would you like to buy some too?"

"Uncle Yang also said there's a discount now, it's a rare opportunity..."

Lin Luoxi noticed that Lin Zhousheng's gaze was fixed on her, so she kindly asked him a question.

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Zhousheng was helping their family both openly and secretly, she wouldn't have bothered to say anything.

She was only willing to offer a word of advice because she wanted to help Lin Zhousheng.

"This, I, I..." Lin Zhousheng wanted to shake his head, but when he met Lin Luoxi's deep, dark eyes, his intuition told him that he should listen to Lin Luoxi.

"I want to buy it, but I might not have enough silver on me..." Lin Zhousheng said this with obvious lack of confidence.

This is what people mean when they say, "When you have money in your pocket, you can stand tall." That's absolutely true.

"It's okay, I have some, I can lend it to you," Lin Luoxi said generously and confidently.

“Okay, I’ll buy it too, I’ll buy it…” As if under a spell, Lin Zhousheng, upon hearing that Lin Luoxi was willing to lend him the money, reported to Master Yang about the land he had long coveted.

Master Yang first sized up Lin Luoxi before searching for the land deeds as Lin Zhousheng had instructed.

Lin Zhousheng knew he didn't have much silver on him, and he didn't dare to overstate the area of ​​land he reported, so it was relatively easy for Master Yang to search through the property.

Lin Zhousheng wanted to buy thirty mu of land. The land was relatively fertile and in a relatively flat location. He was asking for one tael per mu.

He came out today intending to buy some land, but only one or two acres. Now it has suddenly become thirty acres, so he can only borrow from Lin Luoxi.

Lin Luoxi lent Lin Zhousheng only thirty taels of silver without the slightest hesitation.

"Miss Lin, since you've purchased too much land, we might have to go there in person tomorrow to measure the area for you," Master Yang said after handing over the land deed to Lin Zhousheng.

"Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Yang. Tomorrow, I'll have my family prepare a feast to properly entertain everyone." For such an important figure as Master Yang, it's essential to treat him well to facilitate future business dealings.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Upon hearing Lin Luoxi's words, Master Yang and the constables personally escorted Lin Luoxi, Lin Zhousheng, and Lin Dayou out of the yamen.
