Chapter 283 Buying a mountain!


0

There are many mountains in Laohu Town, but its climate throughout the year is not suitable for cultivating tea mountains. Yuncheng has a mild climate throughout the year, which is suitable for crop growth, and there is such a big vacancy right now. How could Qiao Xin let it go!

"Madam, do you want to buy mountain tea?"

"Yes, the old lady said, please give me a chance, my Lord. We will follow the rules and prepare the banknotes in advance. We will not make it difficult for you! If it is not enough, we will not take the money paid for the grain support during this period. We will exchange it all for mountain land."

Yu Huanxi, who came on orders, opened the box he carried with him in front of Qiao Yunqing's subordinates, took out a large stack of silver bills and presented them to them.

Master Wu stroked his beard and took it with a smile, without even a hint of refusal.

He knew it. If others did not support the adults' investment promotion, the old lady would definitely support it.

Here it comes!

Not only did it bring a large amount of income to their government, but it also solved part of the funding shortage problem through barter.

You should know that Yuncheng has nothing but mountains! As a county next to Weizhou Prefecture, they share a mountain range and a river. They can't escape the pattern of many mountains, little land, and few people.

You should know that Weizhou Prefecture and Ziyun City, which are located downstream and have many fields, and Laohu Town, which also has many fields, are both in a state of desolation, which shows how much the two places are short of people.

There is no one here, nothing can be done, nothing can be produced, the consumption capacity is not high, and no merchants are willing to come. Their government can't collect taxes, and the slightly better places are occupied by the big families! What's left for him to buy two is just leftovers!

"The old lady said that the fifty thousand taels were only the money to buy the land. She couldn't come in person for the time being, so she asked Second Master to help her take over some of the hilltops. Second Master, just follow the rules.

Later on, we will send people to guide the planting, recruit local staff, and build factories.”

Master Wu was full of expectation: "Is it like Laohu Town?"

"How is that possible, sir? The conditions in different places are different, so how can it be exactly the same? But the old lady will definitely teach the locals real skills, so that everyone can earn money without having to travel far. This will also be beneficial to the government and the local area, right?

Originally, the old lady was planning to go to Xishu to buy land and plant tea, but the journey was too far and she was unfamiliar with the place. Since the conditions here are suitable, of course we will support our own family!"

Qiao Yunqing handed the mountains written on the letter to the chief clerk on the side.

"Are the deeds to these places in our hands?"

Under the leadership of the workaholic Qiao Yunqing, the anchor has already been familiar with his own work.

As soon as I saw the place names above, I had an idea in my mind.

"Basically, none of them have been sold yet. These plots of land are a bit remote, and I haven't heard of any special output. They are very poor, and the hills are not that high. Madam, would you like to reconsider and change them? There are a few nice hills not far from our city, and we have not sold them yet!"

But Qiao Yunqing shook his head and rejected it: "No need, just do it according to the requirements above, get the land deed done as soon as possible, pay the required amount, and don't give anyone any handle!"

He has always believed that Qiao Xin must have her own considerations for choosing these places. Since he cannot understand it for the time being, he should respect A Niang's choice so as not to do something bad with good intentions!

"Sir, these hills are easy to deal with, but why does the old lady insist on buying the large piece of wasteland over there and the hills nearby? Isn't that too much of a loss?"

"wasteland?"

"Don't be afraid of being laughed at by adults. This piece of land comes from Changnan Town below Fuliang. I came from there. Hutian is 40 kilometers away from Changping Town. It is sparsely populated and uninhabited."

Qiao Yunqing frowned upon hearing this, and his eyes could not help but fix on the steward who was answering: "What did the old lady say specifically about this place?"

β€œIs there anyone in Changnan Town who is firing kilns and making porcelain?”

Master Wu raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised that the old lady actually knew all this: "It is indeed true. There are indeed many people in my hometown who make porcelain, but their products are just rough stuff, which cannot be compared with the celadon in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas and the white porcelain of the Dongyi people."

"That's it. The old lady said at the time that what she valued was their porcelain-making skills. Nanliang has it, Dongyi has it, and we in Dajing must also have our own porcelain. As for other things, I don't know!"

Although Master Wu wanted to praise the porcelain produced in her hometown, she couldn't do it shamelessly. Everyone can see whether this thing is good or not. How can she deceive herself and others to deceive the adults!

"Sir, the bowls currently produced in my hometown are all coarse porcelain bowls, which are of average quality and may not be easy to sell.

The technology aspect is simply incomparable to other places.”

Qiao Yunqing understood what the manager said, and seeing Master Wu like this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Just because we can't do it doesn't mean others can't do it!

Since this is your hometown, I will leave this matter to you, the magistrate of Fuliang County!"

.......

The magistrate of Fuliang County never expected that one day, the pie in the sky would fall on his head without him having done anything!

If someone else came to tell him about this, he would definitely not let the person in and label him as a liar. But this person was Master Wu, the only gentry in this remote county town, and he was also a classmate of his mentor, so he was more trustworthy than an outsider!
