"It"s like this, our village"s population isn"t large, but it"s not small either. In the village, we"re actually a famous poor village, and in the annual harvest announced by the county magistrate, our village is at the end of the line. Sigh, most of us are living on other people"s land, how can we possibly have any taxes?"

The two siblings looked at each other. What the village chief said was quite interesting! He didn"t realize that he had some background.

Mu Jinzhi finally spoke out: "Does Village Head Grandpa have any good ideas?!"

"Today, there are many people who came looking for me to buy land. It was all thanks to your family"s support. Originally, my family was the poorest, and grew the most cabbages. This time, I reaped the most rewards, haha!" When the Village Chief thought of this matter, he was so happy that he couldn"t stop smiling at night. In the future, he would not need to deduct all sorts of taxes from his monthly salary.

"Heh, no one can say, but we can"t figure out Wealthy families"s thoughts, so we siblings can only do our best to help our boss, and this way our life in the small mountain village will be much better." Mu Jinzhi replied with extreme modesty.

He gave the Village Chief an encouraging nod and said, "I am here for the matter of this place. Let"s get to the point."

"Since you have accepted the job, I believe you have earned a lot. Today, someone came to buy land and remembered that your family has taken advantage of this opportunity to buy more land. Even if there is no more business in the future, you will still be able to earn a living.

Mu Jinzhi frowned as he thought about it. He had a rough idea of how much money his family had, he just wanted to buy some land …

"Rest a.s.sured, with Village Head Grandpa here, I will not dare to covet your family"s land."

These words caused the two siblings" eyes to light up. Mu Rousang did not care, but Mu Jinzhi was different.

Mu Jinzhi"s parents were buried in the small mountain village"s back mountain, so this place naturally became his root. No matter how far he went in the future, this small mountain village would always be a root in his heart, and he would have to leave it at its roots once he gets old.

"Village Head Grandpa, how much is our village"s land?" Mu Rousang thought that since even the village elder had patted his chest in guarantee, he had to at least give him some face.

The Village Chief puffed on his pipe, "That"s easy to deal with! Sang girl, the land is the field and the land is the land.

Mu Rousang was so arrogant, how could a child who didn"t understand anything about the land be clear about it?

The village chief looked at her and said, "In the farmlands of the village, the highest grade of fertile farmland is 5 taels of silver per mu of land, and the middle grade of fertile land is 4 taels of silver per mu of land. Naturally, this skinny farmland is 3 taels of silver per mu of land."

There wasn"t much land that Little Mountain Village could use, so there wasn"t a large area of wasteland.

"Big brother, do you think we should buy land or land?" Mu Rousang wasn"t as clear about this as she was on the outside.

Mu Jinzhi first asked the village chief, "Village Head Grandpa, how many high grade fertile fields do we have in our village, and how many good fields do we have?"

"There aren"t that many fertile land in the village, but there are many fertile land. I"ve seen your family raising many pigs, and I"ve heard from the villagers that your sister is being used to water corn fields."

Mentioning this matter, Mu Rousang remembered the plot of land in front of his house. "Village Head Grandpa, whose family does the piece of land in front of our house belong to?"

"No one wants that. That slope is a house base, but it is also a slope. Who would want to build a house on that slope?" The village chief answered without a second thought. The sloping land was a land of riches, and anyone who lived on it would lose their home.

Mu Rousang had already planned to buy the land for a long time: "Village Head Grandpa, if my family wants to buy it, I don"t know how much it would cost per mu of land."

The Village Chief was surprised. "That is a sloping land. What is the use of coming here? Don"t waste your money."

Mu Rousang smiled sweetly, and her childish voice rang out, "Village Head Grandpa, you said it"s a homestead, I want to expand my courtyard outwards, at that time, growing some flowers and fruit trees would also be a beautiful scenery."

The village chief smiled, "Girl, you"re quite smart. That land is probably more than four acres, right? If you want it like this, I"ll take one mu from the back wall of your house and surround it with your house. It"s only one mu anyway, you can"t build another house or anything like that."

Mu Rousang calculated in her heart. Originally, his house had more than three acres, and with the addition of the more than one mu of flat land at the back, it should have been five acres.

Mu Jinzhi had never objected to what Wood Spear Sang did, hearing that Mu Rousang wanted to buy that sloping land.

He also felt that it was worth it, no matter if Mu Rousang was raising chickens or growing corn, she wouldn"t lose anything. The main reason was that the house didn"t need to pay taxes for the plants and it was still very cheap.

"Then we have to thank Village Head Grandpa. How many fields do we need to buy?" It would be better to leave this matter to Mu Jinzhi.

Although there is some money in our family, Mu Jinzhi was very cautious: "Village Head Grandpa, look, my sister wants to buy that house. If this is the case, all of our savings should be enough to buy only ten acres of fertile land, I need to go to the academy everyday, my sister is still young, and buying this land is for others too. At that time, I will have to trouble Village Head Grandpa to help us find a loyal and honest family."

It wasn"t that Mu Jinzhi had never thought of planting seeds for the Qin Family, it was because his uncle would definitely keep an eye on them, and it was because the Qin Family would need to buy land after the new year, leaving second uncle Qin as the pillar of support.

The Village Chief was very surprised. Earlier, he saw that Mu Lao San and his son could survive, and later saw that all the food and necessities were from rich families, and now that they had handled this matter shrewdly, he knew better than anyone else that farming the house was much more worthwhile than farming. Otherwise, how could he afford to give up his two sons with his monthly salary?

"Hehe, since the Hibiscus Family"s elder has taken care of matters, your parents can laugh until they die. Grandfather is old!" The village chief was deeply moved.

"Grandfather is not old, Big Sister Cui Hua is still young!" Mu Rousang laughed.

The Village Chief thought that when he went home, he must talk to his wife about this, talk about this matter properly. A girl like her must be trained to endure some hardships before she could be sensible, "Hehe, no matter how young she is, she can"t compare to your Sang girl. When you have time, you should walk around with your sister Tsui Hua more."

Mu Rousang was speechless. She was much greedier than Peach Blossom: "Alright Village Head Grandpa, I"ll visit Big Sister Cui Hua when I have time in the future." As for the fact that she was playing with a little brat like him, that was none of her business.

"Mm, it"s a deal then. Hibiscus, come with me to settle the land deed someday. It"s best if it"s only for a few days, I"m afraid the yamen will close for the new year in a few days."

La Yue was too busy cooking that she spent more than ten days. "Brother, why don"t you go to County with your grandfather tomorrow and settle this matter. You need Zhu Fugui to help you ask for a leave of absence from Mister."

The reason why Mu Rousang was in such a hurry was because she was afraid that things would get out of hand. If her family could think of a house that was more profitable, wouldn"t other people also think of it?

Mu Jinzhi did not know why she was so anxious, he suppressed the doubts in his heart and said: "If that"s the case, then I will have to trouble Village Head Grandpa tomorrow."

The village chief wished for Mu Jinzhi"s family to be even better: "Alright, it"s already very late, so don"t go out. I"ll pa.s.s by Chusu"s house to help you talk about it."

The village chief was satisfied. The Mu siblings were also happy.

After Mu Jinzhi closed the courtyard door, he anxiously pulled Mu Rousang and entered the house. He took off her shoes and pulled her along onto the hot brick bed, and said: "Little sister, we are going to have land soon?!" Under the three lanterns, Mu Jinzhi"s black eyes shone brightly.

Mu Rousang was very calm, how could she be calm like this, "Brother, we are going to have land soon." She replied with absolute certainty.

Mu Jinzhi still did not believe her, as he pulled her hand and said: "Little sister, pinch me, big brother isn"t dreaming right?"

"Pfft, brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Tomorrow, not only will we have three times as many fields as we do now, but tomorrow you have to go to the Village Head"s house as soon as possible. I don"t know how much farmland is left in the village, so I don"t know what these fields look like."

Only then did Mu Rousang started to think about these troublesome matters happily.

"Don"t worry, little sister. The village chief is a veteran, and knows the quality of a field the best." It was already thoughtful of him to be able to help the siblings with their plans.

Mu Rousang"s worries came and went as quickly as they came. Even if she did not buy the good land this time, she would have some experience in the future, wouldn"t she? " Brother, do you want to see how much our family has earned this time? "

"Then hurry up, little sister, report this to big brother." As he spoke, he took out a Accounts s from the side cabinet. That was right, this was Mu Rousang"s account book.

Mu Rousang bowed and said, "This time, the profit will remain at one catty for two coins, which is one hundred thousand catties. Of these, forty thousand catties were purchased from the Village Head Grandpa, but I purchased it from him for one catty."

She paused here mainly because she wanted to see Mu Jinzhi"s reaction.

"Hehe, little sister is really clever, and stole the time to be lazy. She also called the Village Head Grandpa to get some good stuff, but still doesn"t fall into the light of day." Mu Jinzhi thought for a moment and understood her plan.

"How boring, big brother guessed it all at once." Mu Rousang puffed up his little bun"s face, secretly feeling satisfied. His brother was becoming more and more cunning.

"Hehe, I still don"t know what you"re planning to do. Earning money together won"t make anyone jealous, not to mention that the village chief got a sweet out of it. In the future, he will protect us siblings in the village." After Mu Jinzhi said this, he lowered his head to think carefully.

Mu Rousang did not disturb his contemplation, she only took out a wooden box from the kang behind Mu Jinzhi, and opened it. Inside, one side had a few taels of silver, and the other side had a few taels of silver, this box had two layers, revealing the upper layer of the box, the lower layer had several copper coins.

"Brother, look. This is all our harvest this year." Mu Rousang"s words suddenly shocked Mu Jinzhi who was deep in his thoughts.

"Wa, little sister, we have so much money already?!" He picked up the notes and counted them, touched them.

Mu Rousang laughed and said, "That"s right, this time it was all thanks to Yang Zixuan for collecting the hundred thousand catties of pickled vegetables, and this time alone, he earned two hundred silver." Unfortunately, when summer came, there would be no Chinese cabbage, and the cuc.u.mber that was made would not be able to bear it.

The villagers of Little Mountain Village were all celebrating at the end of the year. On this day, the village head brought a dozen people to drive an ox cart, along with Mu Jinzhi"s family"s donkey cart.

The village chief was extremely excited. His family could even add a few acres of land. He hummed to himself as he sat on Mu Jinzhi"s donkey cart and brought a dozen or so men to the county city.

Mu Rousang could finally take a breather. When Mu Yiyang arrived in the morning, she said, "yang-ge, help me take off the door and take it off. I"ll sew some clothes for yang-ge and Feng Chai today."

She did not mention Mu Yun and Mulberry at all. Mu Yiyang walked over with a face full of shame: "Little Sis, just sew one for Feng Jin then, don"t take my, my, my, my mother"s personality too seriously. Also, sew the other one for yourself.

When Mulberry made a ruckus that day, Mu Rousang told him about sending him to the school. In the beginning, he did not think about it too much, but after she went back at night, the more she thought about it, the more sorry she felt for her cousin and cousin.

"What are you saying? You are our big brother, how can a little sister not sew your big brother"s clothes. "

Not allowing him to say more, she pulled him over to measure the size of the door and told him to set it down.

Mu Rousang went into the room and brought out two pieces of cotton cloth. One piece was pink, and the other was for Mu Fengchai.

The sewn jacket was the fastest and simplest of all the clothes, because the clothes inside did not need to be rolled or embroidered.
