The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 42: Divide land to build a house

Chapter 42 Dividing land to build houses

There are many refugees gathered in the north of the city, and there are also many in the city. However, most of the people who can enter the city are those who have money or have connections and relatives. It is not difficult to stay in the city and settle down and buy property.

Ordinary farmers can only obey the government's arrangements and transfer them to villages under the jurisdiction of the capital. Those who have money can buy some fertile land, and those who have no money can put more effort into taking care of the wasteland allocated to their families by the government. , it is possible to support a family.

The Mo family now has more than a thousand taels of silver, which is quite a lot. If you are lucky and find a suitable house and shop to settle in the city, it will be enough. However, neither Mo Yan nor Mo Qingze wants to do this.

Mo Yan feels that it is much easier to get rich if there is a space, but to prevent others from noticing the secret of the space, one must buy land and cultivate it to cover it up.

Mo Qingze, on the other hand, feels that people's hearts are too complex and he can accidentally get into other people's hands. He is not good at doing business, and it is impossible for his daughter to show up, so he feels that it is more stable to farm in the countryside.

As for Li Zhong, he has three hundred taels of silver on hand and plans to buy some land for planting. If he can't plant it himself, rent it to others or hire others to plant it, life will not be difficult. As long as he can find his daughter within the capital, he I prefer to live a simple and ordinary life in the countryside.

After the two families made plans for their new lives, Mo Qingze and Li Zhong planned to go to the Yamen to register together. This way, they would have a higher chance of being assigned to the same place as neighbors, and they would also be able to take care of each other in the future.

After Mo Yan learned about it, he had an idea in his mind. She has space and money in her hands. No matter where she is allocated, life will not be difficult. But Lin Yong and the others are different. It is winter again and the fields are not producing anything. Life will definitely be difficult. If they can be allocated to one She can also help with the situation. Lin Yong has helped their family a lot, so it would be unreasonable not to help.

Just before she went to look for her, Lin Yong, Lin Da and the others came to her door.

Brother Lin, please come into the house quickly!

Seeing them, Mo Yan greeted them warmly, vaguely guessing their purpose of coming.

Sure enough, after they sat down and drank tea, Lin Yong explained his purpose in just a few words, just as Mo Yan guessed.

Great, I was thinking about this too and planned to go find you!

Lin Da and others were very happy when they heard this. Mo Yan is the benefactor of their entire Lin family'ao. They also know what happened to them before. The benefactor's family only has a few people. They are too weak. Without anyone to help them, they are easily bullied by others. If they are grouped with them, they don't have to. Worried about this issue.

Lin Yong thought even more deeply. For more than two months, Mo Yan had supplied them with so much grain and eggs every day. At first, he really thought she was from the city and wanted to dispose of the grain and vegetables produced by relatives. There are so many of them, who would know that their family also escaped from the disaster, so the grain and eggs must have been bought by her with money.

After learning this, Lin Yong had a lot of thoughts in his mind. Such a sincere and kind-hearted girl was so remembered by others. If she didn't pay close attention to her, she would easily be plotted by others. There are many bad people in this world, so Only then did he help without saying a word, and went to find the person he thought he would never go to in his life to help solve the Mo family's troubles. He felt that it was all worth it!

Mo Yan didn't know that he was thinking a lot, so he quickly urged his father to go to the Yamen to register with them so that he could come back early for lunch.

Lin Yong and the others, more than a dozen of them, were all young people with big appetites. They had no nerve to eat at Mo's house, so they declined one after another. In the end, Mo Yan got angry and reluctantly agreed, secretly planning to come back later. Control your appetite and eat less.

Mo Yan didn't care what they thought. After they left, she took the money to the butcher shop and bought a large piece of good pork belly, seven or eight kilograms of short ribs, a pair of pork liver, and a palm-sized crucian carp. She bought seven or eight pieces and three pieces of tofu. These ingredients, plus the vegetables and fruits in the space, were enough for her to prepare a table of delicious dishes.

Thinking that they were all young people in their twenties and thirties and probably liked drinking, they went to the wine shop to buy a few kilograms of good wine.

The three little guys were not surprised to see her carrying so many things back soon after going out. In fact, the living standard of the Mo family is quite good. Pork is almost never cut off, and eggs are eaten every day. In addition, Mo Yan is good at cooking. Everyone is full with every meal and almost all have meat on their bodies. Especially since Zhen'er is young, the baby fat on her face is very obvious, and now her face has become rounder. Mo Yan likes to squeeze it when she has nothing to do, but she can't help it, it feels so good!

Washing and cutting, with the help of Xin'er and Li Yan, the meal was quickly prepared. Although there were not many dishes, only eight dishes, each dish was generous and served in a pottery pot. There was no way, there were so many People, plates and bowls are simply not enough.

After waiting for an hour, Lin Da and others came back from the Yamen registration. When they saw a table of delicious, delicious and delicious food, everyones eyes widened!

Braised pork, steamed pork ribs, fried pork liver with hot pepper, crucian carp and tofu soup, roasted chicken with potatoes... My dear, they have never eaten so well during the Chinese New Year!

Seeing them staring at the food, looking stupid as if they hadn't eaten in eight hundred years, Lin Yong had a dark face, deeply feeling that he shouldn't stay to eat, but as the smell of the food became stronger and stronger , he couldn't help but swallowed.

Under Mo Qingze's greeting, everyone sat down around the dining table. At first, they thought about eating less and not eating all the food. But when they picked up the chopsticks and took the first bite, they wanted to eat the next one. After two mouthfuls, I couldn't stop at all. Even Lin Yong couldn't hold back and ate three large bowls of rice.

The meal lasted for half an hour. After the wine and rice were full, the eight food basins were almost empty, and not even the soup was left.

Seeing Mo calmly taking away the empty vegetable pots, Lin Yong and others were very embarrassed. It was so embarrassing!

After seven or eight days of waiting, the results of the yamen allocation finally came out. As expected, the Mo family, the Li family, and the Lin family were all assigned to a place called Liuyang Village.

Soon, Mo Yan knew that this place called Liuyang Village was located in the north of the city, backed by Yuhua Mountain, about forty miles away from the capital. Because the land was barren and there were wild beasts in the mountains, there was only a small village called Liuyang Village there. , there are about ten families living there.

There is a lot of unexcavated wasteland in Liuyang Village, and there are also a lot of people passing through this time. In addition to the 23 families of the Mo family, the Li family and the Lin family, there are also 83 families from other places.

Because it is wasteland, the grain output is low, and the government allocates land on a per capita basis, with each person receiving five acres, so the four members of the Mo family are allocated twenty acres. There is no need to pay taxes on these twenty acres of land for three years. Each mu of land is taxed as good land, and 15% of the grain produced is paid. Compared with the 30% tax of the previous dynasty, this is relatively light.
