Chapter 218: Purchasing land to set up a wine shop.
"My mother can make the decision on this matter." Wei Ruo didn't want to get involved.
"It's like this. Mom heard that the land near Fucheng is relatively barren. If it is cultivated directly, the yield will not be impressive." Yun said.
Having said this, there is nothing Wei Ruo doesn't understand.
This is due to Wei Ruo's ability to improve the soil, and he wants Wei Ruo to help improve his own property in order to have a good harvest this year.
Wei Ruo knew that he couldn't refuse, so he said, "I'll go take a look after mother has finished the purchase."
A smile suddenly appeared on Yun's face, and then she said: "In addition, Ruo'er, you were in the south of the city last year. Where did you get that rice seed? Can you get some more this year? Mom plans to plant this kind of rice seed in several villages, so the output of the village this year should be much better than last year." "I can
. Help contact Huzhou Prefecture." Wei Ruo did not refuse, but only agreed to help contact him. If he wanted rice seeds, he would have to spend money to buy them from the captain's house.
Wei Ruo agreed so happily, which made Yun even more happy.
After talking about the business, Yun had a rare chat with Wei Ruo: "What are Ruo'er doing these days?"
Wei Ruo didn't answer immediately, but looked at Yun with suspicion.
Yunshi explained: "Don't worry, my mother won't be angry with you. As long as you wear a veil when you go out, don't have contact with strange men, and don't act recklessly outside, your mother will not interfere with your going out." This is in Taizhou
. The mansion is considered to be unique. The rich lady can come and go so freely. I searched all over Taizhou mansion and couldn't find another one.
"Yeah." Wei Ruo responded without much joy.
Then Yun said: "And after the Zhuangzi here in Fucheng is purchased, you can go to your own Zhuangzi and ask everyone in the Zhuangzi to obey your command. You can arrange it according to your preferences." "No need
. "Wei Ruodao.
"Why?" Yun asked.
"When Mr. Wang comes back after the New Year, I will have to go to class. The time to go outside is not very fixed. And I don't want to regard this as a task that must be completed, otherwise I will not be so happy." Wei If explained.
Yun frowned slightly, but it was a good thing to think about it carefully.
"That's fine, you can make your own arrangements." Yun didn't force it.
###
After the beginning of spring, the weather begins to get warmer, getting warmer day by day.
The farmers started to get busy, and Wei Ruo also started to get busy.
Although Yun's side has stopped saying anything, Wei Ruo will still be cautious when going in and out, and can't do too much to avoid being blamed.
She is not afraid of damaging her reputation. She has no intention of marrying into a wealthy family. She doesn't care much about her reputation. Maybe having a bad reputation will help her achieve her goals.
It's just that she has too many things to do right now, and she doesn't want to be diverted too much energy by unimportant things. If something happens, she probably won't be able to relax.
In addition to the matters in Zhuangzi, the brewery planned by Wei Ruo at the end of last year is also on the agenda.
Because Wei Ruo recently discovered that this liquor is indeed profitable, and there are not many wineries that can make liquor, so it is natural to do it if it is profitable.
First of all, Wei Ruo had to talk about the piece of land in the valley of Daqingshan that he had been eyeing a few days ago. That piece of land was finally selected by Wei Ruo and Xiumei after looking around. If you want to buy this land, you still need to communicate with the villagers of Wang Village near Daqing Mountain.
Unlike the previous ones, Wei Ruo's negotiation encountered a little problem this time.
The villagers in the village where the piece of mountain land he was interested in agreed that Wei Ruo could buy the land and use their mountain spring, but the village chief disagreed.
The reason why the village chief disagreed was that it would damage the feng shui of their village, so Wei Ruo made an appointment with the villagers to have a detailed discussion at the entrance of the village.
In front of the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village, an Eight Immortals table was set up in the open air, and everyone in the village sent people over.
Sitting at one end of the Eight Immortals table is the most prestigious village chief in the village. He is in his fifties, with gray hair, a white beard, and a thin face.
Sitting at the other end was Wei Ruo, who was dressed in men's clothing. Behind Wei Ruo were Xiumei and Manager Yu, who were also dressed in men's clothing.
Most of the people in this village have the surname Wang, and there are only a few families with other surnames coming from behind, but the right to speak is still in the hands of the Wang clan.
"Daqing Mountain is the feng shui mountain of our Wang Village. If outsiders like you come in and out frequently and use our water source, this will have a great impact on the luck of our village. They want to send us away with just twenty taels of silver. , Absolutely not!" Village Chief Wang said sternly.
A villager nearby persuaded: "Village chief, the twenty taels of silver are for purchasing land. From now on, we can use the gold to produce 250 taels of mountain spring water every year!" There are a total of twenty-five households in their village, and twenty taels of silver are used to purchase the land
. The money is divided according to accounts, so that each family can have nearly one tael of silver, and then it can be distributed to ten cents every year. This is not a small amount of money!
The small piece of land on the mountain is of little use to their village, and the mountain spring is not used by their village. It is just one of the tributaries of the small stream in their village. Ten coins per household per year is really a lot! Many people can't make much money even if they go out to work for people in a month!
"Shut up, I'm the village chief, you have to listen to me on these matters!" Village Chief Wang stopped the villagers' speech directly.
He had just noticed at a glance that the young man who came to buy the land from them was rich, and he was not old, so he could definitely negotiate the price.
"How much money does the village chief think it should be?" Wei Ruo asked.
"The one-time purchase of the land costs one hundred taels of silver, and from then on the mountain spring water will be used for one thousand taels of silver every year." Village Chief Wang said.
Upon hearing this, the villagers behind Village Chief Wang all showed surprised expressions.
One hundred taels of silver! Enough to buy a hundred acres of land!
And what this young master Xu wants to buy is just a small piece of land in the valley, less than five acres!
This price is too high.
Wei Ruo still had a smile on his face and did not answer immediately.
Village Chief Wang was very confident: "Mr. Xu, actually I know that you have been looking for a suitable place in the area since the end of last year. Since you have chosen Daqingshan, I think there is something very attractive about Daqingshan." ."
Wei Ruodao: "Village Chief Wang, this place in Daqingshan Mountain and the mountain spring water really attract me, but the price you offered is a bit too high." Village Chief Wang said: "Mr. Xu is full of nobility
. It must not be someone who lacks these silver coins. As the saying goes, a thousand pieces of gold can’t buy a good thing. If you go elsewhere, you won’t be so satisfied.”
Wei Ruo smiled at the corner of her mouth, knowing that the village chief knew that she had gone through a long period of investigation. The location in Daqingshan was chosen, so I had the confidence to raise the price from the ground up.
Wei Ruo continued: "I can agree to increase the land purchase price from twenty taels to twenty-five taels, and then the annual fee for using the mountain spring water will still be 250 taels." (End of
