Chapter 52:

Just after a long lunch, someone suddenly came to the village.
The spacious carriage came in from the village head all the way. This picture was not in line with Yuqing Village. It suddenly attracted many villagers to come out from their houses and look at it.
After seeing the carriage for a while, I met someone passing by and stopped, and got off from the car. After asking, I went forward again.
After the carriage passed, a group of villagers surrounded the villager who was asked the way and asked, "Hei Laoba, what is this man doing?"
Hei Lao Ba was a little stunned and asked again before he replied: "I was looking for Lizheng. I seem to want to buy something in our village?"
"What the is that?"
"How do I know! I heard people in the car say what to buy a broken mountain, and I want to come to such a place where the bird does not shit."
"Buy a mountain? Hey, it's terrible. Let's go and see."
In a short time, news spread throughout the village, and there was a distinguished person in the house.
How expensive is it?
Anyway, in terms of appearance, it is not expensive.
And the nobleman seems to be buying mountains.
There are two people sitting in the main room of Zheng Li ’s family house, not the main seat where ordinary people can sit.
One is naturally Zheng Lizheng, while the other is a little fat man wearing a gray background full of embroidered gold thread patterns. It doesn't look too big, it looks like seventeen or eighty, but it's not small.
Not only did the clothes she wore dazzled, she also wore a few gem rings. The sun is good today, and the sun is shining from the outside through the doorway, shining on the ring, making Zheng Lizheng dizzy.
At this moment, the little fat man was staring at the tea bowl in front of him with disgust, or the follower beside him straightened his eyes, and he didn't say what he said.
Zheng Lizheng has been watching with the afterglow of his eyes, knowing that this is definitely not a good word. But whoever calls them in the backcountry, drinking tea are coarse porcelain tea bowls, but there is no bowl of fine porcelain.
"I don't know why the youngest son came?" In order to show that he is also an individual face, Zheng Lizheng bit the text.
How could this little fat boy not eat him, the fat hand waved twice and said, "Wang, Liu ..."
Beside, his entourage quickly made a lip for him, but he still couldn't match it, and finally cursed anxiously: "Directly, what the is he doing, what is his name coming?" Wearing a pebble-sized gemstone ring Fat hands, pointing straight at Zheng Lizheng's old face.
The entourage was so embarrassing that Zheng Lizheng's old face was also stiff: "My surname is Zheng, and the youngest son calls me Zheng Lizheng."
"Oh, it's Zheng Lizheng!" The chubby son slapped and said to his followers: "Tell him, my surname is Mao."
If it weren't for seeing the other person dressed like a man, there were also some stylists. Zheng Lizheng wanted to throw this person out. He was sitting opposite him, and he had to let his followers talk, is this the nobleman's way?
This follower was also obedient and immediately said to Zheng Li with a smile: "My young man's surname is Mao, but he is the little master of the Mao family firm. The little master was ordered by the old man to do things for the first time. . "
Look, this is what people say.
Immediately Zheng Lizheng also talked with his entourage with a smile. After the two of you came and went, Zheng Lizheng also had some understanding of the five young men.
It is said that the Maojia firm is one of the largest firms in Xia County, and it is also famous in Pingyang. The Mao family has a rule that the children of the family will travel out as adults to show that they have the ability to take over the family business. This is the first time this young master Mao came to Huyang Township, and he took a fancy to the hill behind Yuqing Village.
As for why Master Mao would like to see a small mountain bag in a place where the bird doesn't shit, this follower just laughed, but he didn't talk about it. However, according to Zheng Lizheng's guess, it must be that the wealthy young master suddenly wanted to have fun.
He doesn't need to know anything else, he only needs to know that the other party wants to buy a mountain and the bid is not low.
Obviously, it is a big fat sheep who is not involved in the world. He is still here to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf. Grandpa eats more salt than you eat!
Zheng Lizheng thought to himself, and smiled more sympathetically: "I don't know how much money your young master intends to make? You know, although the mountain is in our village, it's not that I can be the master here by myself. This is the village. Many people, if there are too few silvers, there is no more than a few articles on each person's head. I'm afraid this is-"Zheng Lizheng is a bit embarrassed, but unfortunately some of this embarrassment is too obvious.
Young Master Mao was very big and looked down upon Zheng Lizheng's despicable contempt: "You tell him, I have some money, young master."
The entourage turned his head and said Zheng Lizheng: "My young master said that he has some silver."
"Then I don't know what kind of price tag can be given, or let the old decay have a number, or talk to the villagers below."
Master Mao said to his followers: "You told him that Master Ben gave five hundred and two."
Five hundred two?
Zheng Lizheng's drought was immediately frightened, which is really a big fat sheep and an injustice.
The hill that Master Mao likes to look like is more than 50 acres in size. The most important thing is that the mountain is already deserted. Because they are near the village, the villagers were here to cut wood in the past few years, regardless of the kind of cut, but now the hillsides are the roots of weeds and rotten trees except for the thorns that hinder it.
Zheng Lizheng originally estimated that even if there were more than one hundred or two, he didn't expect the other party to have such a high price.
Five hundred two!
This land is in the village, and the village can sell it or not, and the mountainous area is not as good as the wasteland. Just give some money to the county government and you can get the title deed. While Master Mao said the price of five hundred and two, Zheng Lizheng had quickly figured it out in his heart, how much it would cost to go to the county government office for deeds, how much to share with the villagers, and how much he could afford.
"Why don't you want to sell?"
"Sell, of course!"
"That line requires a little, your village is responsible for handling the thorns and rotten tree roots on that hillside."
Master Mao quickly left, and Zheng Lizheng was still in a daze sitting in the house.
It wasn't until the villagers came to Zheng's family one after another that Zheng Lizheng returned to God. He instructed his son Zheng Gaofeng to ring the gong and called on the whole village to speak.
Not long afterwards, a big gong under the old locust tree in front of Zheng ’s ancestral hall was struck, so neither did the nap, nor did the home work, they all gathered In the big courtyard of Zheng Li ’s house.
The yard is not enough to stand, just stand outside the yard, and the people standing on the trees on the wall are all people.
Some people were curious to ask what happened, and some people seemed to tell others what they had heard before, so Zheng Lizheng hadn't spoken yet, and what he wanted to say was spread.
In the house of Zheng Li ’s house, another person was changed at this time. Several villagers in Yuqing Village were present, all of whom had faces in the village.
Zheng Li was telling the villagers this matter in accordance with the rules. He didn't have to wait for them to discuss their ideas, and went out to talk about it with pride.
Such a good thing, but he is doing it for the villagers. As for the question, why do n’t you wait for the consent of the village elders? A burnt fire stick can sell for five hundred and two, not to mention that the hill head is better than the burnt fire stick in the hearts of the villagers!
Sure enough, Zheng Li was going out to say that the villagers had no objection other than cheering.
There are more than two hundred households in Yuqing Village. Those who deduct money to be counted in the county government, each family can be divided into two or two silvers.
Two or two silver! In places like the countryside, you can live frugally. If you eat your own food, you will spend two or two silver a year. As for cleaning up the thorns on the top of the mountain, so many people in the village will clean up the thorns when they go alone. That is not a problem at all!
So when Zhaoer came back from the outside, he heard the Xue family happily talking about Minger and his friends going to Qingshan together.
Especially the couple in the big room were extremely happy. Xue Juncai had to spend more money in school, but he could find the old couple but he would not come for money. The salary offered by the Zhao family was readily available, but unfortunately Xue Cui'e, a chicken thief, regarded his offer as a deadly gift.
For this matter, there has been little friction between the big house and the main house over the past few days.
After a quarrel, Xue Cui'e also talked about it. If the old couple dared to post their wedding gifts to the big room, she would go out and say that the wedding gifts of the greedy sister who was the brother-in-law would be considered a stop.
When thinking about money, there is money coming to the door. It's no wonder that the big couple are happy.
The three-bedroom Zhou's face was dark again, but the four-bedroom was okay, and he did not blend in at all. But this time, without waiting for Mr. Xue to speak, Zhou showed his attitude very easily. His man was too tired to grow the land, and Qingshan's work would not be mixed.
Three rooms are not mixed, and four rooms are not mixed. Needless to say, the second room is just a big room!
Grandpa Xue is very pleased, and the couple are happy. After he turned his head happy, he thought that the three-room four-wheeled carriage was unmingled, and who would work for? However, there are rules in the village, at least two people in a family.
Grandpa Xue is also a bit worried, but the general direction is not wrong. The couple in the big room got a promise, but when they went back, they complained to each other, saying that the other party was exposed too early, so they should do it vaguely first, and then talk about it when they divide the money.
Not to mention here, the next day Yuqing Village entered a rare lively scene.
In every household, men, women, and the young and old came together, carrying agricultural tools such as pouting heads and shovels, and went up the mountain. Even the seventy-eight-year-old little hairy eggs, each holding a small for digging wild vegetables, followed behind their own adults to help.
The first day of Qingshan was the most tiring. The thorns that had grown up in a mess were cut down, and after each cut, each family was divided and taken back to be used as firewood.
The next day, after a while, this hilltop was considered bald.
It ’s not over yet, you have to plan the roots out of the soil, which is the hardest. If you plan carefully, you ’ll have to plan them carefully, otherwise you ’ll leave a little bit, and this wild thorn will grow all over the mountain .
In general, although the rural people are a little careful, but if they are honest in their work, there are very few people who steal and play tricks.
In the meantime, Zhaoer came to the mountain to visit, a little silent.
After going down the mountain, she brought Xue Qinghuai, Jiang Wu and Gao Sheng over, and several people discussed for a moment before they dispersed.
The hillside was finally cleaned up. Fortunately, when I was in the farming slack, I didn't specify it so quickly.
After cleaning up the front, there are villagers rushing to make money in the back. Zheng Lizheng said that the nobleman would pay the money after seeing the mountain in two days, so that the villagers should not worry.
But after waiting for two days and two days, the nobles were still missing, Zheng Lizheng was a little panicked.
It was also that day that he was so shocked that he was so full of promises that he forgot to ask the other party for a deposit or even to find the other party.
But Zheng Lizheng certainly can't say that. Some villagers asked, only that the nobles were busy and panicked.
In this way, two days and three or four days passed, and the nobleman still didn't even see a shadow, and the village was completely frying.
It must be false to say that you are not tired. Even if the crops ’sweat is not valuable, it is not in vain.
As the village debated, there were more and more rumors in the village. Some people said that Zheng Li had deliberately urged everyone to clear the barren hills. Zheng Lizheng mentioned this before, saying that the deserted area is too ugly to be used. Even if you plant some trees, you can benefit the younger generations. . But no villagers listened at that time, and their own work was too busy. There were so many people in the village, it was a matter of who went and who did n’t go, so they always threw them there.
There are also rumors that the noble person has given Zheng Lizheng the money. He is greedy and does not want to distribute the money to the villagers.
One after another, villagers personally approached the Zheng family to ask about this. This has never happened before, which means that Zheng Li ’s majesty in the village has begun to shake.
Just when Zheng Li was so anxious that there were several large artillery guns in his mouth, he was lying anxiously on the kang every day, so that his mother-in-law soaked the veil with cold water and applied her forehead.
He went to the Xue patriarch's house first, and then looked at the Xue patriarch to Zheng Li's house in the morning.
