Madam, please give me some advice

Chapter 73 Buying a Mountain~

Arrived safely in the village~

When the villagers saw the official car, they were all shocked, thinking that someone had committed a crime, and they talked about it...

The official car did not stop and went straight to the foot of the mountain.

As soon as he arrived, Ji Xingle put away his books, walked to the foot of the mountain and said to Guan Xiaoniang, "I want all the land below, and I'll trouble you to walk up to the land above together."

"it is good......"

They walked back and forth for about three hours, busy as if measuring a field...

The official's wife's sister was watching from the side and asked tentatively, "What are you going to do with such a big mountain, madam?"

"We are planning to grow some edible and seasoning plants, and also raise chickens, ducks, and geese on a large scale."

Ji Xingle felt that there was nothing to hide, so she answered truthfully whatever people asked.

After all, he is a government official. There is no benefit in hiding it, and I am not doing anything illegal.

"Growing seasoning plants?" The senior official's sister was puzzled. What kind of plants would require such a large mountain? Such a huge project?

"Well, it's similar to Evodia rutaecarpa, but the spiciness is purer." Ji Xingle replied calmly.

The official's daughter looked incredulous. She knew that Evodia rutaecarpa had a pungent and bitter taste, but it was also popular in cold weather because it could drive away the cold.

If the person in front of me says the taste is purer, doesn't that prove that it will be more popular in winter?

This is indeed a good planting, but will it be able to sustain so many plants when the time comes? The official girl expressed doubt.

I opened my mouth and wanted to ask something else...

Then I saw several colleagues finally coming back panting. According to the places that Ji Xingle had marked before, they measured and wrote down the notes clearly on paper.

Originally, Ji Xingle planned to buy only one or two hundred acres, but when he saw that the other party had brought the official seal, he secretly expanded the area, took care of the small things first, and then built a zoo when the time came.

Hahahaha! Ji Xingle laughed secretly in his heart, what a smart guy.

Mountains are not as valuable as land. Because the official's wife saw the jade pendant and had expectations for Ji Xingle's future development, she bought one acre of mountain land at the price of one tael of silver.

After measuring the mountain, the officials' wives came back with a look of disbelief on their faces. After buying such a big mountain, will Xinghua Village become a key protection area in the future?

"What's wrong?" the senior official asked when she saw their inexperienced expressions.

They didn't know how to answer, so they showed her the measured paper.

"This...this...this...you bought such a big mountain?" The official's daughter asked Ji Xingle with her eyes wide open.

"Well... don't worry, I have them all useful, and they won't break the law." Ji Xingle seemed to know the other party's concerns and explained everything clearly.

[Official girl: ??? Is that what I meant? I advise you not to misunderstand.]

"Well, I'll write the insurance policy for you." The official's sister believed in her sister's way of doing things. Since her sister didn't say anything, she had no right to refuse. She immediately wrote two copies of the land deed and stamped them with the official seal.

Ji Xingle took it and looked at it, and found that there was no problem, so he immediately took out a silver note of 1,000 taels and gave it to her.

He also gave ten taels of silver for tea, and several other wives of officials who were almost dying of exhaustion were each given five taels of silver for tea.

When the few people saw the silver, they finally came back to life. This was more than their annual allowance. After expressing their gratitude, they took the silver with a smile.

The official's sister smiled when she saw so many banknotes, especially when Ji Xingle took out another ten taels of silver for tea. She felt in her heart: This lady is capable and worthy of friendship.

"Thank you very much, Lady. My name is Li Zihong, you can call me Sister Yun. The lady of the high official in the yamen just now is my sister. If you need anything in the future, you can also tell me my name."

"My name is Ji Xingle, thank you in advance."

"Do you need workers in your mountain?" Li Ziyun thought that her sister wanted to drive regional development. There was no way to get rich, but wasn't this a ready-made livelihood?

"Oh! Sister Yun, did someone recommend you?" Ji Xingle raised his eyebrows. Someone recommended by the government? That's good. At least it's safe, right?

"Yes, I do, but I don't know how many people you need?"

Ji Xingle pondered for a moment and said, "For now, a hundred people will be enough. I need to fence off the mountain, weed some areas, and plant trees when the time comes.

Of course, if you have more people, that's fine too, but there's no place to stay here, so you have to tell them that you have to set up a temporary residence by yourself when you come. The wage is 30 cents a day, and don't do anything sneaky.

As for food, we provide two meals a day, no big fish or meat, just ordinary meals.”

"Okay, okay, okay, sister Le, sister Yun, thank you! Thank you!" Li Ziyun was touched! Finally helped her sister solve some troubles.

"Thank you! I was also looking for someone, and you helped me find one. You really helped me a lot."

"Hehehe! Okay, okay, we are helping each other. Hahaha! I will go back and make arrangements. I will arrange the people for you within three days at the latest." Li Ziyun was even happier to see that Ji Xingle did not take credit for it.

"Well, take your time. We were very tight on time this time and didn't treat you well. Next time when the new house is ready, you must come and have a meal."

"Okay, okay, since you said that, I will come here shamelessly when the time comes.

Hahaha! I’m leaving. I won’t bother you anymore.”

"Um..."

On the carriage

"Sister Yun, who is this Lady Le? Not only did she buy such a big mountain, but she was also so generous." Several wives of officials in the car asked curiously.

"My sister just told me secretly that she has a backer in Beijing." Li Ziyun whispered.

"Hiss..." After hearing this, several people were still frightened and were glad that they did not have a bad attitude just now.

"But we don't have to be afraid. We met this person today. She's a nice person except that she doesn't like to talk much. As long as we do what she arranges, what else do we have to worry about?"

"That's right!" Several people touched the silver on their chests and laughed.

"Let's go back now and split up. First, find the village heads of the remote and poor villages and ask them to register all the diligent laborers and report to the government." Li Ziyun gave the orders with a passionate look on his face, as if he was about to see the prosperity of this town in the future.

"Yes..." Several wives of officials also responded enthusiastically.

......

Ji Xingle was very happy as he had solved another big problem. He went to the construction site to check the progress. At this rate, the water pipes would be buried in two or three days.

He looked aside and saw that they were digging wells and building factories according to his instructions. Ji Xingle was satisfied and prepared to leave.

"Ms. Le..." Qian Fang called from behind.

Ji Xingle turned around and asked, "Aunt Fang, what's wrong?"

"I want to ask for leave from you and go back to arrange some more people to come over."

"Okay, have you handed over your two-day project to the village chief?"

"I've said it, I've said it, I'm just waiting for you to speak."

"Okay, then please pay attention to your safety."

"Okay, okay, I'll go back right away."

After Qian Fang finished speaking, she quickened her pace, took their only carriage and set off.

"Ah."
