Chapter 181 Land Deed Issue
Time flies and it is the end of May. The weather is getting warmer and the fur trade has entered the off-season.
When Manager Wan came to town to deliver cartons, he only wanted a few sheepskins.
However, the demand for cartons was increasing day by day, and the orders he requested were larger and larger, ranging from cartons to cartons, and even uncut cardboard pieces.
Manager Wan did not hide it and said that these hard white cardboards were very useful in making leather boot molds.
Song Liyun then showed him a hand-carrying packaging bag with holes punched and tied with a ribbon, and a customized picture painted on the plain white surface, which could add luster to the product.
Manager Wan looked at the various paper bags and chuckled, "Ah! I've lived half my life and still didn't know paper could be used to make these things. If I had known earlier, I might have bought two more shops."
Song Liyun said, "It's not too late now. Uncle Wan can get some old cotton-padded jackets and quilts from other places and send them to me so that we don't have to drive back and forth empty-handed."
Manager Wan laughed out loud: "Miss Song is so thoughtful of me that she doesn't even want to waste an empty train.
Anyway, it's better to keep the wealth within the family. Why don't you let Uncle Wan choose a marriage for you and become a member of my Wan family?"
Here we go again! Here we go again!
Even the saying "keep the wealth within the family" was blatantly stated.
It’s a headache if people look down on you, and it’s also a headache if people like you, Song Liyun sighed!
She knew that she was already a grown-up girl in this era, and it was very normal for her to talk about marriage, and it was even a little late.
Some time ago, Wang Junxu vaguely mentioned to Luo Baihu that he should choose his husband in the guards in the future.
This is probably also the case of “keeping the wealth within the family”.
Song Liyun said directly: If you really want to expand and sustain your business, you cannot put all your eggs in one basket.
If I become a civilian in the future, I will have a better chance to serve the garrison.
Captain Luo and Wang Zhong fell silent.
There are many restrictions on military households, but more importantly, it is an indisputable fact that children from civilian households can study and become officials.
No matter how much they value Song Liyun's abilities, they cannot block her path to marriage and escape from military household status.
Fortunately, Song Zhenping could never get rid of his military household status in his entire life.
No matter how Song Liyun gets married, as long as she is thinking about her two brothers from her natal family, she will still have to work for the Suijin Guards.
In fact, Song Liyun said this not because she had any prejudice against military household registration, but because she didn't want people to pay too much attention to her marriage, and for utilitarian reasons.
Marriage is something that must be arranged, and she should follow the local customs. She also doesn't want to challenge the entire society on her own.
But you have to find one that you like.
Family background, appearance, ability, any one of them is enough to satisfy myself.
She is not in a hurry to get married.
Song Liyun believed that as long as she could earn a large sum of money for the garrison, even if she became an old lady in her twenties or thirties, Captain Luo could knock out and tie up anyone he liked and send them to her.
Mr. Zhang and his colleagues had also thought about the acorn business and the cardboard box business together.
Unfortunately, although there are many unmarried men in the town, they are all ugly and the capable ones have all run away, so there are no suitable candidates.
Mr. Zhang sighed from time to time and said that good things take time.
He also comforted Song Liyun not to worry, saying that marriage is destined by heaven and the right person will always come to her.
Now Manager Wan is going to arrange a marriage for himself again.
Song Liyun lowered her head and said shyly, "Uncle Wan, you're joking. I don't have the heart to propose marriage right now. My brother at home hasn't proposed marriage yet!
I think so carefully about you, because I want to make more money."
After visiting Baolinju twice and learning about the Song family's financial situation, the steward Wan, who had become familiar with them, jokingly mentioned that he wanted to find a marriage for Song Liyun. He was brushed off at the time, but now he brought it up again.
Song Liyun didn't want to involve simple business dealings with marriage. If the marriage didn't go through, she wouldn't be able to do business either.
Besides, she was not in the mood for that. She wanted to make money, but there was also the hidden danger of Hong Jingtian who was eyeing the Song family covetously, and she didn't know when he would pop up.
It is better to have less trouble than more. Talking about marriage now is just asking for trouble.
Manager Wan was politely rejected by Song Liyun. Although no one looked unhappy, the atmosphere was still a little awkward.
Song Liyun changed the subject and asked, "Uncle Wan, have you heard any news from the Qili County Government Office?"
Not long ago, the Wan family reopened their Wanchun Fur Store in Qili County.
County Magistrate Jiang went to ask Manager Wan for a confession, because among the people arrested in Tianxianglou, someone confessed that he had followed Hong Jingtian's instructions and staked out and inquired about the fur shop.
Shopkeeper Wan pretended to know nothing and just protested his innocence, saying that he had closed the store during that period because of family matters and had no idea what Tianxianglou was up to.
After hearing what he said, the county magistrate Jiang Feng just wrote down the confession and let the man go.
When Manager Wan saw Song Liyun asking about the case, he also stopped smiling.
The escape of Hong Jingtian and Huo Laoer has an impact on the entire case.
Moreover, it is dangerous for both the Wan family and Song Liyun, so they cannot take it lightly.
Manager Wan said in a deep voice: "Jiang Feng is a very cunning man. He has not been pursuing Hong Jingtian recently. He has only been rectifying the internal affairs of the county government.
Many patrol officers were replaced, causing panic among the people of the Qili County Office, but the local merchants applauded.
The reason why he said that Lord Jiang, the judge and county magistrate, was a very cunning person.
The reason is simple: Jiang Feng has never set foot in Suijin Town.
As a county magistrate, who came specifically because of the cases in Suijin Town and Tianxiang Tower, how could he not hear the case for nearly two months, but just browsed through files and dispatched personnel in the county government office?
Manager Wan doesn't understand the officialdom, but he understands the business world. All opportunities are fleeting, and it is more difficult for a person to control his impatience than to act rashly.
Song Liyun also said: "Suijin Town is currently selling land, and the county government is silent. I'm afraid there must be something hidden."
As the two major military and political leaders in the area, Captain Luo met with Jiang Feng once. After returning, he only asked Song Liyun to be wary of Hong Jingtian and others, and not to worry about anything else.
Captain Luo did not interfere in the current transactions of money and land sales in the town. Song Liyun always felt that there was something fishy about it, perhaps some kind of tacit understanding among officials.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with these little soldiers like us.
When Wan Daguanshi heard that Suijin Town was selling land, he also wanted to spend five taels of silver to buy a house, but Song Liyun laughed and said, "Don't even think about it, Wan Daguanshi. Only local residents can buy land in Suijin Town."
"Local residents? Miss Song, your family is a military household, can you also buy land?"
When Manager Wan heard that outsiders were not allowed to buy land, he immediately doubted whether Song Liyun could buy such a large area.
Song Liyun said firmly, "Why not? Mr. Zhang and the others have already received the money and registered it in the register."
Seeing her so careless, Manager Wan put down his tea and said, "All land deeds and transactions must be registered with the government. You are just collecting money from the town, so how can you take it seriously? You need to be well prepared for everything."
The relaxed look on Song Liyun's face disappeared: because there were many people buying land, things were fragmented, and the area of the household owners was constantly changing.
Mr. Zhang and his men want to finalize all the land first, and then ask the government to come and unify it. Currently, the deeds have not been processed yet.
She must get to the bottom of this matter.
