The wealthy businessman who bought the land was actually cheated by the farm official.
The villagers heard that the farm official had deceived them, saying that there was a hot spring here, and although the location was remote, the environment was good and no one would disturb them, making it the most suitable place to build a farm. However, if they wanted to buy it, they had to buy the whole area.
If it weren't for this rule, this great place would have been bought by someone long ago.
Then the wealthy businessman will buy everything from Qingxi Mountain to Hulu Valley.
After the villagers learned that they had spent a lot of money to buy all this land, they all felt very sympathetic towards the rich businessman. However, their sympathy turned into regret, as they regretted that they would never be able to go to Qingxi Mountain to chop firewood again.
Outsiders are absolutely not allowed to go up the mountain to chop wood, pick mushrooms, or hunt. Once discovered, they will be thrown into prison.
The only places where they could chop wood and hunt were those unowned hills.
This is why many woodcutters have to go to the mountains dozens of miles away to chop wood and then carry it to the market to sell.
While the villagers of Hutou Village were discussing this matter, the second batch of hired workers were transported to Qingxi Mountain.
"It seems that the rich businessman really intends to build a manor in Qingxi Mountain."
"We've spent all that money, so we naturally don't want to waste it. It only costs a little to build a manor, and it costs even more to buy mountains and land."
"I heard from those who were hired that the employers offered good wages, eight cents a day for young and strong men, and three meals a day, and even children can go to work and have food provided."
After hearing such good conditions, the villagers were all tempted.
"It's such a weird place, do you really want to go there?" someone couldn't help but speak.
After all, Hu Da fell into a coma a few days ago after returning from the mountain to chop firewood, and he has not woken up yet.
"What do you know! That's Hu Da arriving at Hulu Valley."
"The place where we work is in Qingxi Mountain, which is quite far from Hulu Valley."
"That's right. If Hu Da wasn't looking for medicinal herbs for his wife, he wouldn't have risked going to Hulu Valley to chop wood."
"If you are afraid to go, then don't go. Just stay at home. My whole family will do any job that allows us to earn money right at home."
"Yes, yes, I'll go to my house too."
"What ghosts are you afraid of with so many people?"
“That’s right.”
"Village head, why don't you go and ask? After all, everyone is idle in winter. If they can go to work, each family can save some food and wait until next spring so that there won't be a shortage of food."
"Yes, yes! I don't need any salary at all."
The head of the village looked at the people in the village, who were talking to each other. He naturally thought in his mind, but most of the people recruited by the boss were refugees, which showed that he was a kind-hearted person and wanted to give those refugees a meal.
There was a disaster outside, so the situation here can’t be said to be very good, but it is much better than those people.
It would be embarrassing to snatch their jobs, but looking at the attitude of the villagers, they would go there on their own even if I did nothing.
"Never mind, I'll go again and ask for everyone."
The Su family arrived at Qingxi Mountain with the first group of temporary workers, and a rough draft of the entire manor was made last night.
The first thing they had to do now was to let these temporary workers find the place where they would stay tonight.
In the morning, Su Yin had asked the grocery store to deliver a lot of oilcloth, and went to the iron shop to buy a lot of machetes for the temporary workers to go up the mountain to cut down some trees and build straw huts.
The first group of people who arrived were busy working under Su Yin's command.
Everyone is very motivated.
When the people in Hutou Village came to the door, Su Yin took a matchstick and drew sketches on rice paper, planning the subsequent construction style.
It is five miles from Hutou Village to Qingxi Mountain. She plans to build two watchtowers in the middle of Qingxi Mountain and Hutou Village, which will serve as the first line of defense.
That place belongs to Hutou Village. If you want to buy it, you need to find the head of Hutou Village.
After arriving at Qingxi Mountain, both peaks belonged to Su Yin, and a bunker was built right in the middle.
This is the second line of defense.
Su Yin planned to build a kiln here in Qingxi Mountain. Further back was the manor where the Su family lived, and the back garden of the manor was Hulu Valley.
In Hulu Valley, Su Yin did not plan to make any major moves. He only asked the temporary workers to pave a road that could be used for carriages and horses, which would make it convenient for them to transport the treasure.
The above is Su Yin’s general idea, and the specific implementation will depend on the subsequent situation.
As she was lost in thought, she saw the escort coming with an old man.
"Miss, this is Hu Lizheng from Hutou Village."
Su Yin stood up, "Hu Lizheng, please sit down."
Hulizheng sat down with a smile.
Su Yin poured a cup of tea for Hu Lizheng and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Hu Lizheng?"
Hu Lizheng thought about it and spoke carefully, "Miss Su, I heard that you are still recruiting people. The people in our village have nothing to do, so we want to come over to help. Do you need anyone here?"
"Of course. But I have to say, if you violate the rules here, we will kick you out."
Hu Lizheng was very happy to see that she agreed, and nodded repeatedly to assure, "That's for sure. If anyone dares to break the rules, you don't have to do anything, I will deal with them myself."
Su Yin smiled and said, "Hu Lizheng, I just happen to have something I want to ask you."
"you say."
"It's like this, I want to build two lookouts at this location. My family values privacy and security, so I want to buy everything from here to here."
Hu Li was looking at the piece of land. To be honest, it was all barren hills and had no value.
