Chapter 414 Buying Land
It turns out that Song Zhenping returned to Xiaoshi Village not just because he missed his hometown.
Although he was familiar with Zhao Tingduo, he felt uneasy after the two families got engaged and he knew the truth about Zhao Tingduo's identity.
If we look at the Wu Dynasty, the Zhao family was a royal family, and the status of the two families was very different.
The better Zhao Tingduo becomes, the more guilty he feels. Song Zhenping is worried that his sister will marry someone above her station.
Moreover, Zhao Tingduo and the Suijin Guards of the Zhenbei Army are from the same family.
Not only was the house in Baolinju given by the garrison, but even the shops in Suijin Town might be taken back by the garrison.
If Song Liyun didn't live well on the grassland, she wouldn't be able to return to her mother's home in Suijin Town.
Only Xiaoshi Village is a safe home.
This boy who is always silent has actually been silently paving a way out for the three brothers and sisters.
At Song Zhenping's urging, Song Liyun put away all the things in a "lucky bag".
Looking at the room that had become empty again, Song Zhenping let out a long sigh, a relieved smile on his face. "Xiaoyun, remember to come back every autumn. I'll prepare everything for you."
He felt that this was all he could do for his sister!
Song Liyun smiled: "Brother, this is a good idea! I can also come back to see you and sister-in-law every year!"
Compared to Song Zhenping who was doing it purely for the good of his sister, she felt that she had some selfish motives.
Hay can be collected in Qili County to produce feed. She wanted Song Zhenping to grow rapeseed and oats on a large scale here, and also purchase daily necessities such as charcoal.
If her marriage with Zhao Tingduo is not going well, she would rather be strong enough than hide back in Xiaoshi Village and live a simple life.
A Uda tribe conquers territory through force, and can also build a kingdom of wealth through ability.
Do it as soon as you think of it. Soon, Song Liyun took Song Zhenping to the headman's house.
When Song Liyun explained that she wanted to buy land to grow oats, Song Lizheng immediately sent someone to the town to call back his eldest son Song Dequan.
Song Dequan managed taxes for various households in the town and was well aware of the land conditions in the villages and towns of Qingping Town.
However, when Song Dequan returned to Xiaoshi Village, there was one more person by his side.
Mr. Xue hunched over, nodding and bowing to Song Liyun and Song Zhenping with a fawning look on his face.
He came to Xiaoshi Village the next day.
It happened that Song Liyun was hosting a buffet, and he wanted to take the opportunity to come in and build some relationships.
But he was unlucky and ran into Abu and Xiao An who were strolling around at the village entrance.
Xiao An already knew that her second sister was almost sold to someone else as a wife by her second uncle, and that person was Mr. Xue.
Moreover, among those who caused trouble at Baolinju last time, there were also people from Master Xue.
When he saw this, he pulled Abu over to complain.
Abu also knew about that.
When he heard that this was the man who wanted to buy the young lady and now dared to come to his door, given his temper, there was no way he would let him go. The result would naturally be chaos.
By the time Song Zhenping went to rescue them, the people brought by Master Xue had already been knocked to the ground. Fortunately, Master Xue was afraid of death, so he slipped away when he saw that the situation was not right.
Unexpectedly, he is here again with Song Dequan.
Looking at the puzzled Song brothers and sisters, Song Dequan said, "You want to buy land, and the Xue family wants to sell land, so it's a good time to come over and talk!"
Mr. Xue nodded repeatedly: "How much land does Miss Song need? What kind of land do you want? The good farmland by the river or the low-quality rough land at the foot of the mountain?"
Since they were here to discuss serious matters, Song Zhenping and Song Liyun naturally couldn't be petty.
Several people went to Song Lizheng's house and discussed in detail the planting base they wanted to set up.
When Song Dequan heard that they wanted to grow coarse grains like oats, he said seriously, "Then we can use the low-quality dry land on the barren hills by the mountain. It's cheap and easy to buy."
Song Lizheng also agreed that the coarse grains fed to livestock could be grown anywhere.
Song Liyun didn't know how to farm, so she looked at Song Zhenping.
Song Zhenping's face turned pale. "Isn't all the land on the hill owned by Gujiazhuang?"
There is a low ridge between Xiaoshi Village and Gujiazhuang. At the foot of the mountains on both sides are the graves of the villages, while on the ridge is a barren dry land.
There are many people and little land in Gujia Village. This piece of mountain land was reclaimed by the villagers. They usually grow sorghum and wheat, and can barely get a harvest.
But that piece of land is the best land for growing oats and beans.
Song Lizheng also frowned. The relationship between Gujiazhuang and Xiaoshi Village was not good now.
Ever since Song Liyun and her two siblings left Xiaoshi Village under the pretext of performing labor service, and the incident of "theft" at Song Laoer's house occurred, Mrs. Gu and Xiao Gu's family have come to Xiaoshi Village to cause trouble several times.
In the past, with the Song Zhenping brothers being held hostage by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the Song family in Xiaoshi Village did not dare to turn against Mrs. Gu, and even the people in Gujiazhuang became arrogant.
But the Song family in Xiaoshi Village did not care even though the three brothers and sisters were "missing".
So Gujiazhuang started causing trouble again and forced Song Lizheng to give an explanation. Song Lizheng led his men to fight several battles with Gujiazhuang, and the relationship between the two sides instantly dropped to freezing point.
When Mrs. Gu died, only a nephew came from the Gu family and tried to extort money, but he was beaten up by Song Zhenping, the upright "grandson", and even Mrs. Gu was not buried in the Song family's ancestral tomb.
Gujiazhuang broke off completely with the Song family of Xiaoshi Village, and the two big families became enemies.
Now we want to grow oats on the ridge of Gujiazhuang...is this possible?
Do I have to bow my head and apologize?
If Gujiazhuang knew that it was Song Zhenping who used these lands, they would probably not only make things difficult for him, but also cause damage.
Song Dequan glanced at Master Xue and said, "Xue Rengui, didn't you say that you could take care of anything Daping wanted?"
Although Mr. Xue encountered difficulties in Qili County, he was still the local boss of Qingping Town, and he had connections in both the black and white worlds in this small place.
It doesn’t matter if the Song family wants a few pieces of wasteland now. He can always find a way to get them.
Just when he couldn't find an opportunity to show himself, Master Xue became excited when he heard Song Dequan asking if there was any way. "That piece of land is connected by two beams, and it's more than 150 acres in total. If the young lady doesn't mind, I'm willing to give it to you!"
deliver?
Song Liyun's brows were twisted into knots. This Mr. Xue was not a good man. He just gave away hundreds of acres of land. It didn't sound like a good thing.
Besides, these lands belong to Gujiazhuang. If you seize them by force, you will be a landlord and a bully, and will also cause hatred.
"Let's just spend money to buy it! Master Xue just needs to help mediate!" Song Liyun said indifferently.
Seeing that the Song family was not interested in this bargain, Master Xue did not force them. He just said with a bitter face, "I'm afraid Gujiazhuang won't be sold!"
Song Dequan's face darkened: "Xue Rengui, that's not what you said just now. If you can't sell the land, then I won't bother you anymore. You should go back!"
Song Zhenping stood up to send the guests away. Master Xue didn't dare to make trouble anymore: "Brother, sister! Don't worry, since this is our own business, no matter how difficult it is, I can find a way to solve it!"
He took advantage of the situation and even called his brothers and sisters.
This is understandable. He treats Song Shuirong as his wife, and her brothers and sisters from her mother's side are naturally his brothers and sisters.
Just being called "sister" by an old man gave Song Liyun goosebumps.
I wanted to scold him a few times, but I held back for the sake of the two hundred acres of land.
Harmony brings wealth, and shouting won't hurt you at all, as long as Song Shuirong doesn't hang around.
Several people discussed the matter again.
Mr. Xue was extremely active. His purpose in doing this was not only to establish a relationship with the Song family, but also to make money.
After all, women are not as attractive as money.
He is an old man and he lives one day at a time. But he has descendants and grandchildren, so who would complain about having too much money?
The acorn workshop in Xiaoshi Village has no connections, so the land purchase matter is in his hands.
