CHAPTER 101 LAND PURCHASE (PART 3)
It was a business worth of several thousand tales of silver, not just talking or playing. Liu Jia also tried to find out if Lian Fangzhou lied about her financial situation. Otherwise, if he persuaded the four families to sell the land, and Lian Fangzhou could not afford it, he would ruin his credit to give up buying the land.
“OK, I happen to have the money with me. I’d like you to write a note for me later.” Lian Fangzhou smiled.
“What a jolly girl!” Liu Jia thumbed up and laughed. Then they went down the mountain.
Liu Jia skillfully wrote the written evidence, then blew it and handed it to Lian Fangzhou.
Lian Fangzhou inferred and guessed the meaning that she could almost understand the content of the written evidence. So she accepted it and handed Liu Jia a silver note with the value of 100.
Seeing that Lian Fangzhou was able to read, Liu Jia rose a sense of admiration on her again.
Lian Fangzhou glimpsed his look, but in her heart she was ashamed: disastrous traditional Chinese character, she really knew very little!

It seemed that next year when Lian Che went to school she would have to spare time to follow her study! So did Lian Ze, Lian Fangqing. Both of them had to learn to read and write. Well, then I had to buy more ink, paper and inkstone later.
In fact, she was willing to let Lian Ze go to school, but she knew that Lian Ze would not.
Liu Jia just did good to the end. He also sent Lian Fangzhou they three to the village entrance. After saying goodbye, he turned around to leave.
He wanted to send them back home, but Lian Fangzhou refused and thanked him for his kindness.
She didn’t want to show off. Especially before the dust is settled.
Liu Jia seemed to understand her meaning too. He laughed and didn’t insist.
The next day, the three of them did not go to the city, but waited for Liu Jia at the entrance of the village, because the place to see today was in the area of Shitouping, Dafang village.
Today, the place was uncultivated wasteland, about one thousand acres.
Liu Jia, as usual, led Lian Fangzhou around. There was water too. It was four Li long from the main road outside, which was a little far, so there the road needed to be built as well.
In addition, the weeds and shrubs on these wastelands were even more and more lush than those at the Sanchakou yesterday. In many places, there were also small trees big as the small bowl mouth as well as more steep slope.
But on the whole, it was OK. The soil looked good.
Liu Jia looked at Lian Fangzhou’s face and said with a smile, “This place is not good as that in Sanchakou, but the price can be also discussed! If Miss Lian really wants it, I will try my best to help you, Miss. “
Lian Fangzhou said with a smile, “There are a thousand acres here, right?”
Liu Jia turned to look at her. Then they looked at each other with a smile. Both of them understood each other without saying a word.
“Yes, a thousand acres. If calculated, the price will not exceed two tales of silver per acre!” Liu Jia nodded.
In fact, seeing this large area, he and Lian Fangzhou knew that this place didn’t cover a thousand acres. There were still one thousand acres, or at least two hundred acres less. But there was no need to be too actuarial about the wasteland since it was ownerless.
Because the cost of wasteland reclamation and the price of land purchase were not low, and this kind of land needed to be cared for at least four or five years to become mature land. What’s more, it needed to be handled carefully, otherwise the weeds would grow as long as crazy, and the crops would be crushed!
Therefore, few people have this spare money and mind to buy the wasteland. People would rather buy a good paddy field.
Lian Fangzhou was satisfied with it, and secretly praised Liu Jia for behaving himself!
“OK!” Lian Fangzhou nodded happily and said, “Uncle Liu said so well, and if I still prank, it will be too bad! I also want these lands. When can I go through the formalities, I want to get the government lease. “
Nowadays, there were two kinds of lease, government lease and private lease, either for land lease or house lease. The difference between them can be seen from the name alone.
The advantage of the government lease was that it was recorded by the government. Even if the lease was lost or stolen in the future, it could be completed by applying for a new one by the government! No one else could make use of it to take an advantage.
If it was a private contract, once lost, it may belong to someone else! Even in a lawsuit, winning or losing depended, and the result of winning was smaller.
“OK, even if you don’t tell me, I’m going to persuade you to do government lease.” Liu Jia laughed and said: “This procedure is very simple, and it can be done today! You three follow me to the city first. We can send someone from the government to take measurements together. There is enough time to finish the formalities! Three days later, you can get the government lease! “
Lian Fangzhou knew that Liu Jia was used to this business. She had no idea how many contacts he had with the government so he was naturally familiar with the business. Then she smiled: “This would be the best! So uncle Liu it will bother you to work hard! “
Lian Fangzhou thought for a moment and said, “Since we won’t go to the city, let’s wait here! It also saves the trouble of running around. “
Liu Jia naturally had no objection and said: “It’s good to do so! Don’t worry, Miss Lian. I will help you to get the lowest price! I’ll be back in an hour and a half! “
Liu Jia was busy going. Lian Fangzhou they three just went around in this area.
Lian Ze looked at the vast land with half a squint, and couldn’t believe it. “Sister, do we really buy so much land? This will soon be our family’s? “
Both Lian Fangzhou and A Jian laughed.
A Jian laughed: “Can this be a fancy? Just wait three days to get the government lease and you will know.”
“These are wastelands. It’s not easy to serve them! We have much to do later!” Lian Fangzhou sighed with emotion.
A Jian glanced at her and said, “You just arrange me if you need me. Just say what you want me to do. Don’t bother.”
“We are all farmers. What are we afraid of if working hard?” Lian Ze’s face was red and bright with joy. He said, “There was not so much land before, but now, no matter how hard it is, we’re not afraid! In the future, we can live a good life and no one can bully us! “
Watching closely A Jian asked: “That cotton, do you really decide to plant all of that?”
It was not a small amount of money. If planting the cotton didn’t make good harvest, it would be very hard to try to turn it into the same amount of money.
After all, the purchased land was newly reclaimed wasteland, but not superior paddy field. Even if it was to be resold, except that no one would buy it, the price couldn’t be high either.
Lian Ze was afraid that Lian Fangzhou would feel down. At the same time, he didn’t want to believe that he would not succeed, so he hurriedly said: “It will work! If my sister say she can do it, then she will do it! “
A Jian smiled and said, “I’m just asking Fang Zhou about her plan. We have to make the worst plan.”
If not really close to their own people, he would never say such words. Lian Fangzhou felt great warm inside her heart. She looked at him gratefully and said, “I never think about it. I think there must be a way to get it! If we don’t succeed, let’s plant something else! In a word, the money will definitely be paid back! “
