Chapter 336 Money is more convenient
The further the team went, the fewer people there were.
In the Lin family, Liu Ying and her son were finally separated.
When leaving, Liu Ying was in tears.
Lin Mo was very excited at first, thinking that her mother couldn't bear to let her go.
Who knew that it was that little thing that her mother couldn't bear to part with.
Seeing her constantly explaining various precautions to Nanny Qin, Lin Mo actually felt relieved.
It's good that her mother is like this.
Less melancholy of parting.
And since it was Xiao Liuzi who led them to the village, she didn't have to worry.
With Xiao Liuzi around, no one will make things difficult for them, and Xiao Liuzi will also take good care of them.
In addition, the most important thing is that Ping An has also arranged people to follow, so there will be no problems with safety.
Now they are the ones who have the problem!
Lin Mo's expression turned serious.
This is to send them to the nearest place to Beiling.
This village is the closest to Beiling and will be the first to suffer if a war breaks out.
Even when there was no war, the place was often harassed and plundered by bandits and deserters.
Therefore, the living conditions are the worst.
Anyone who can survive there is not an ordinary person.
The others also realized this and their faces fell.
Especially when their eyes fell upon the dilapidated houses around them, no, they could not even be called houses, everyone's heart sank.
Is this a house?
Is this habitable in winter?
It's basically just a wall and a shed made of sticks and thatch.
Xu Xianyu swallowed nervously, "Sister-in-law, is this habitable?"
"Why not?" Lin Mo asked, "Don't you see the wisdom of the people here?
Although there is only one wall, it is covered tightly with thatch on all sides.
Also, look behind the wall, do you see anything?"
It’s not that they don’t want to build houses.
But this area is not stable at all.
You can build a house today, but it may be demolished or burned down tomorrow.
So, the people here just build a shed and have a place to live.
It doesn't cost money to rebuild the shed after it's been dismantled.
"Traces of fire." Looking at the blackened wall, Xu Xianyu blurted out with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"What are they burning the wall for?"
"To keep warm." Lin Mo gave her the answer.
People here are not stupid.
Although there is only one wall, the remaining three sides are made of thatch, but there must be a fire pit inside this thatched house.
Otherwise, the people here simply cannot endure the cold.
Xu Xianyu stopped talking.
She looked around silently, frightened by the surrounding environment.
Is this where they will live in the future?
How to live in such an environment?
Feeling uneasy, Xu Xianyu and others finally arrived at Beijia Village where they were going to be exiled, and it was exactly the afternoon.
Jia Jie, the village chief of Beijia Village, was waiting for them at the village entrance.
When they arrived at Beijia Village, only four families were left: the Xu, Han, Shen, and Mu families.
The people from the Han, Shen, and Mu families had long lost the strength to speak, and they all stared at everything in front of them with dull eyes.
This is really not a place for people to live. There is not even a tiled house.
Lin Mo didn't say anything, but just asked everyone to get off the carriage.
When Jia Jie saw that they all had carriages, he immediately approached with a smile on his face:
"I wonder which official is in charge of these people?"
As he spoke, his mustache twitched up and down, looking incredibly funny.
Old Wei stepped forward and frowned, "Are you the village chief?"
shifty eyes.
He doesn't look like a good person.
Jia Jie nodded vigorously, bowing and nodding, "Yes, I am the village chief of Beijia Village, my name is Jia Jie."
Lao Wei glanced at him, then took out the last piece of information and handed it over:
"Here are the information of these four families. From now on, they will be members of your Beijia Village. Please make proper arrangements."
Jia Jie smiled brightly, "Okay, don't worry, I will make sure everything is arranged properly.
"Sir, you've had a hard journey. Would you like to have something to eat at home?"
Old Wei glanced at him and said, "No need!"
After saying these two words coldly, he turned his head and looked at Lin Mo and others:
"From now on, you are all residents of Beijia Village. If you have any problems, please go to the village chief, Jia Jie!
He will help you with your household registration information tomorrow!"
Shen Qingyun couldn't help it, he took a step forward:
"Can you arrange for me to go to another village?"
This village is too dilapidated.
But this is not the main reason. The main reason is that he doesn't want to stay in the same village with the Xu family.
He always had a bad feeling about staying in the same village with the Xu family.
"No." Lao Wei replied indifferently:
"Do you think this is grocery shopping and you can pick whatever you want?"
Seeing that Shen Qingyun still wanted to speak, Lao Wei snorted coldly:
"Shut up. There's no room for negotiation. Where you're assigned is entirely determined by the higher-ups. It has nothing to do with me."
Having said that, his eyes fell on Lin Mo:
"You guys should take care of yourselves. It's not peaceful here."
After saying that, he turned around and left with the remaining escorts.
His mission was to send them to Mocheng, and now his mission has been completed.
Lin Mo knew that Mr. Wei’s last words were directed at her.
Her face darkened, but she didn't say anything.
The emperor exiled them to Beijia Village. His purpose was obvious: he wanted to use other people to kill Xu Wuyan and others.
As Lao Wei walked away, Jia Jie stood up and looked at everyone arrogantly:
“You have just arrived in Beijia Village and you don’t own any land in the village.
Now if you want to settle down in the village, each family must pay five taels of silver, and I will give you a piece of land to build a house."
As soon as he said this, some people in the Han family were dissatisfied.
Mrs. Han was depressed. "The land here is so big, just give us a piece of land, why do you have to charge money?"
Jia Jie sneered, "These are all village lands, who would give them to you for free?
If you want it for free, you can."
Jia Jie pointed to the north and snorted coldly:
"If you want something free, then go live on that hilltop. No one will charge you a penny.
But I can tell you that there are wolves on that mountain, and there are also many bandits living there.
If you accidentally lose your life, don’t blame us.”
Mrs. Han Er finally stopped talking.
But at this moment, Lin Mo noticed the top of the mountain. The mountain was very high, very steep, and covered with dense trees.
This place is very suitable for a stronghold, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Lin Mo turned to look at Jia Jie, "Does the village chief really not have to pay to live on that hilltop?"
When Jia Jie heard that he was asking about the mountain, a look of displeasure flashed across his face:
"right!"
Lin Mo smiled and said, "Then our Xu family will live on that hilltop."
As soon as he said this, Jia Jie's face instantly lengthened.
"But don't worry, Village Chief. Our Xu family will pay the money we owe." Lin Mo said as he gestured for Xu Ping'an to take out the money.
Seeing Jia Jie's happy face after taking the money, Lin Mo's smile became even brighter:
"Village Chief, I'd also like to ask, has anyone sold the land at the foot of the mountain?"
Jia Jie was looking at the silver. When he heard Lin Mo's question, he shook his head casually:
"No.
It's just a piece of sandy land. If you plant crops there, they won't grow, and no one wants them."
Lin Mo smiled, "Then can I buy that piece of land and the hill together?"
As soon as these words came out, Jia Jie raised his head abruptly, his expression becoming excited:
“Are you serious?
This is a lot of money, are you sure you are not kidding me about this?"
Jia Jie was a little skeptical.
Although their Beijia Village is located in a remote area and is adjacent to its northern neighbor, the price of land is not cheap.
This was the first time in recent years that someone had approached him about buying land in their Beijia Village.
Thinking that he could make a lot of money from selling this land and the mountain, Jia Jie smiled:
"If you really want it, I can give you a better price."
Lin Mo didn't waste any words. She took out a stack of banknotes from her pocket and handed it to Xu Ping'an:
"Ping'an, go with the village chief and buy the land and the hilltop."
When Jia Jie saw that he really wanted to buy it, he immediately smiled like Maitreya Buddha:
"Then come with me, and we'll go sign the contract underground. We'll do it together tomorrow when I go to the government office to help you register."
Lin Mo nodded. She had no objection to this.
He turned around and asked Xu Dapeng to drive the carriage towards the foot of the mountain.
It’s too late to set up a house tonight, but they can stay in a tent first and deal with the rest tomorrow.
Shen Qingyun and others saw Jia Jie was about to leave and hurried to follow him:
"Village Chief, what about us?"
Jia Jie looked at them unhappily, "Will you give me five taels of silver? I tell you, money makes things easier."
Seeing them nod, a smile appeared on his face:
"Since you're willing to pay, follow me!"
