There are people living in Kaoshan Village, but there are not many people.
Kang Yueran didn't warn Mao Jian and the other three. As long as the two didn't come over with their hoes to hit her, she would just pretend she didn't see anything. She also thought it was a good thing for the villagers to be on guard.
She said to Mao Jian and the other three, "Since you all think the place is suitable, I will start buying land. Let's go."
The two men breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them leave. They were both afraid that Kang Yueran and the other four would rush into the village.
Back at the village, Kang Yueran gave Mao Jian a piece of paper with a drawing of a house she had drawn. "I want to build all the houses like this. Each house has eight rooms, including a toilet, a kitchen, a firewood room, and the remaining five rooms for living.
There is a yard in front of the house. It doesn’t need to be too big, just enough to raise some chickens and ducks. There is no need for a backyard.”
Mao Jian took it. Kang Yueran's drawing was rough, but he had added annotations. He was a professional, so he looked at it carefully for a while and understood it. "This kind of house is simple, no problem."
"That's good. Then please take a look at how to build it, how many bricks and wood to use, and discuss it with the two eldest brothers of the Li family."
After giving them instructions, Kang Yueran returned to Anzhou. He called He Zhengchu along, and the two of them went to the county magistrate's office to look for Guo Tong.
Kang Yueran talked about wanting to buy land around Kaoshan Village, and said frankly that it was for the bandits on Qingping Mountain to live in.
Guo Tong was shocked and pointed at Kang Yueran, "You, you are a female bandit?"
Kang Yueran put on a self-proclaimed harmless smile, "I'm not a bandit, and the people on Qingping Mountain won't be bandits anymore.
My younger brother bought Baekdu Mountain. I will take my brothers from the mountain to do business in the future.
Since they are no longer bandits, they naturally cannot live in the mountains forever, so I want to buy a piece of land, build them houses, grow some food, and let them become civilians again."
He Zhengchu smiled and said, "Master Guo, don't be afraid. We are all good citizens. My eldest sister recruited the bandits from Qingping Mountain to make porcelain in Baidu Mountain, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone."
Guo Tong was still a little frightened. "So how much land do you plan to buy?"
Kang Yueran was very straightforward, "Buy as many as you can!"
Guo Tong's breath was held. Are they going to treat Kaoshan Village as a second stronghold?
Kang Yueran quickly explained, "Making porcelain is a long-term job. I want to buy more and build more houses. If the guys are willing to work long-term, they can bring their families with them.
So many people need food, so I'll buy some land and grow food there, which is more economical than buying food from everywhere."
If it were any other time, Guo Tong would definitely get to the bottom of the matter, but now he was short of money, and he was a little afraid of Kang Yueran.
He asked someone to bring a booklet, flipped through a few pages, and said, "Over there are 89 acres of good land and 236 acres of medium land. The good land costs 8 taels per acre, and the medium land costs 5 taels per acre."
Kang Yueran asked, "Is that little hill for sale? I want to raise some chickens on it."
Raising chickens? Are you really planning to become a good citizen? "For sale! That hill is not big. If you want to buy it, I'll charge you 400 taels. As for building a house, go talk to the village head and ask him to allocate a place for you. Remember, you can't build it on farmland."
Kang Yueran said, "I've got that in mind. Thank you, Lord Guo! Lord, is there any land for sale nearby? There are too many of us, and there won't be enough land to go around."
"Do you want the sandy land? There are over 400 acres of sandy land to the north of the village."
Sandy soil is not suitable for growing wheat, but it is suitable for growing potatoes and sweet potatoes. Kang Yueran nodded, "Yes! I want them all!"
Guo Tong didn't expect her to be so straightforward. "Uh... Sandy soil produces less grain, but the price is also cheap, three ounces per mu."
"I want them all, Master Guo. I've brought the money. Can we do it today?"
After she sold her gold, she bought another batch of gold from the mall, which was flat gold ingots weighing five taels.
After successfully obtaining the land deed, Kang Yueran sincerely thanked Guo Tong, "Thank you, Lord Guo. You are welcome to visit our Qingping Manor when you are free!"
