Chapter 444： Choose a place

  Ya Gong thought for a while and said, "If the wife can buy this mountain, the seller should be willing to be less.

Mu Yangling raised her head and glanced at the hill. It was really small. It was different from the hills where she used to hunt endlessly.

Mu Yangling glanced around and found that there were about seven or eight hills like this nearby, not far from each other, but not too close. If they could be connected together, she might still be vivid, but Mu Yangling still asked: " How much is this mountain?"

"The seller only needs fifty taels of silver, and the mountain and the grass at the foot of the mountain are all sold."

This time, without Lichun's eyes widening, Mu Yangling said with a chuckle, "For fifty taels of silver, I also have a mountain like this. If he wants to buy it, I can sell it to him."

Li Chun glanced at him up and down, then stepped forward to support Mu Yangling's hand and said, "Fourth grandma, let's go back and change to another tooth shop."

Yagong was a little embarrassed, he probably knew that his asking price was a bit high, so he quickly said: "This is what the seller proposed, the price is a bit high, if the wife is interested in buying it, the young man can discuss with them and lower the price. drop."

Mu Yangling didn't even look at it anymore, but turned to the carriage and said, "I have limited time, so I can't come out all the time. It's better to set the price within a reasonable range when you introduce it next time. You can talk to the seller. , I will buy this land for twelve taels of silver, and I will only pay forty taels of silver at most for the mountain, including the thatched hut and fruit trees on the mountain, if he wants you to come find me again, forget it."

Mu Yangling put down the curtain and let people leave.

It was useless to persuade Yagong for a long time. He felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have introduced them to this business just because they came from the Northland.

This land has been hanging in their tooth bank for half a year, and it has never been sold because the asking price is too high.

Li Chun angrily said, "Fourth grandma, they are bullying us for not being familiar with Lin'an City. A tiny mountain dares to ask for fifty taels of silver, which is more expensive than buying a high-quality land for us."

Gu Yu glanced at her and said, "That's in our northern land..."

"What happened to the Northland? I don't think there is anything wrong with the Northland. At least we have a lot of land there. For one mu of land here, we can buy three acres in the Northland."

Mu Yangling said: "Okay, there are fewer people in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is reasonable to expect it to be more expensive. If we live here now, we have to accept the price here. When you go back, you can find two tooth shops to see. With so little land on the side, it’s obviously not enough to buy just one village.”

Moreover, the most different thing from the Northland is the secrecy.

Mu Yangling had a headache. She wanted to experiment with new seeds, and she had to keep doing experiments. It was obviously impossible to buy scattered plots. Not to be unlucky? And it's easy to get into disputes.

Another point is that the experiment is unstable. She needs to control the area of ​​the experiment at all times. When the experiment field needs to be watered, she will send someone to ask someone in the previous field to help with watering?

Mu Yangling said: "We have to buy a big Zhuangzi, preferably the one with more than 100 acres of land connected together, so that it is more secretive, otherwise we do something and ask others to know everything as soon as they stretch their necks."

You must know that when she was experimenting in Xingzhou Mansion, as long as she didn't say anything, no one would know what she was tinkering with, because the land was so vast, and there was a large area of ​​her land, and the Hu family was the closest to her home. Looking up at her experimental field, she could only see the shadows there, and no one else knew what they were doing.

Lichun was worried, a lot of places like this were caught in the north, but what happened in Lin'an City?

A group of people were worried, but the next day, Master Ya went to the restaurant again and said respectfully: "The seller has agreed to reduce the price, so the price will be paid by the wife, but they want to ask for it immediately, so..."

Mu Yangling nodded, "That's two hundred and eighty taels in total. I'll give the money as soon as the formalities are completed."

Mu Yangling motioned to Dong Yu, Dong Yu immediately opened a small box and counted enough silver taels to give to Duke Ya.

Mu Yangling said: "This piece of land is still too small, I want a bigger one."

She thought about it and said, "It doesn't matter how good the fertility is. It doesn't matter if it is mixed with medium and underground places. The most important thing is that it is big enough. When the village is built, you can also go to escape the heat in summer."

It would be better if Zhuangzi included all three lands, the upper, middle, and lower lands, and the test would be more comprehensive.

Mr. Ya thought for a while and asked, "Ma'am, what if those lands include mountains?" He quickly explained, "It's not the beautiful mountains outside, just like the ones we saw yesterday, small hills."

"How big is the land?"

"It's quite big, but it covers a large area of ​​​​the riverside depression. The seller asked to buy it together, so..."

Mu Yangling sat up straight and asked, "The depression by the river? How big is it?"

"There are three small hills in a row, with a total of nearly 500 acres."

Mu Yangling raised his eyebrows, "Will no one want such a large piece of land?"

Emperor Ya smiled embarrassedly, and said, "This piece of land is managed by a steward of Mr. Qin Xiang's family. The price is a bit high, and the condition of the land is not good, so it was not sold."

"Didn't the steward of Qin Xiang's family say that slaves cannot have private property?" Mu Yangling turned his head and asked Lichun curiously.

Lichun said: "Fourth grandma, the reward you gave us is ours. Naturally, fourth grandma can take it back."

Lichun's tangled way, but few masters do it.

Gu Yu glanced at her and explained in a low voice, "However, there are generally very few slaves who can buy land outside. It stands to reason that only one document can't be done."

But this world can never take the law as the criterion. If everything came according to the law, there would not be so many troubles in this world.

Mu Yangling nodded and asked Master Ya, "How much did he bid?"

"Including the mountains and the riverside depressions, the total is 508 acres. He asked for 2,000 taels." Yagong said cautiously.

Now they are surprised, "The price of so much land doesn't sound too high."

Emperor Ya smiled bitterly, "If you go to see it on the spot, you'll understand."

Does this mean the land is in a bad state?

"Apart from this one, is there any other large piece of land?"

Yagong said: "Madam is happy, I won't hide it from you when I'm young. In fact, the land in Lin'an City has never been worrying about selling, because several houses have been collecting the land all the time, but it's better to disperse the land. I don’t like it either, but once it exceeds fifty acres, there is no chance of even being listed on the list. They are all directly taken to the front of the few companies and let them choose, so the large piece of land outside is all left by them. It’s not good, and the price can’t be beaten, and that’s why everyone would rather buy loose land than spend money on that kind of big chunks, it’s not worth the loss.”

Yagong thought for a while, then continued: "For example, the area of ​​Mr. Liu's land, the hills and depressions in it account for most of the area, and the rest is still sandwiched between mountains and mountains. After careful calculation, the only ones that can be cultivated are The hundred or so acres, the rest are waste land, but the price is too high, and it has been unable to sell."
