Chapter 481 The village purchases property
Xiong Feng smiled, "They are all from the same place, so it is normal for them to look familiar."
Shen Congrong was convinced, "Village chief, Brother Xiong Feng used to live in Dahe Town."
"Dahe Town! It's really possible to see that! No wonder I always feel familiar!" Shen Ying laughed at himself twice, turned around and returned to his carriage.
After the convoy arrived in Fucheng, half of the people stopped here, and Shen Congrong and the others continued on their way with the imperial envoy.
Shen Ying and others watched the convoy leave, quickly found Ren Yazi according to the address given by Shen Yi, and handed over Lu Tong's handwritten letter and token.
Renyazi only knew a few words, but he could not misread the token. After hearing the purpose of Shen Ying and others' visit, he immediately helped them look at Zhaizi and Zhuangzi.
"The houses and fields in Fucheng are more expensive than in the county. For example, a house in Zhaohua County costs 500 or 600 taels, but here it may cost 7800 taels. The location may not be a good one. You have to be aware of this."< br>
Shen Ying nodded with a serious face, "We bought the house mainly for the children to study. It is best to be safer, quieter, close to the school and more convenient for walking on the street."
These requirements may sound harsh, but everyone must meet them.
Hearing this, Ren Yazi immediately flipped through the brochure and muttered: "In this case, you'd better buy the one in the south of the city. All the wealthy families live in the south of the city. They have high-class courtyards. Even if they are next to each other, they won't affect each other. Moreover, the houses are big. You can also remodel it yourself and turn it all into a house.
The most important thing is that there is an academy in the south of the city. It is run by officials and specializes in recruiting children from rich families and officials. The teachers there are also very capable. If you find those people difficult to get along with, you can also find a teacher in the academy. Hiring a gentleman costs about twenty taels of silver a year.
Moreover, there are no three religions and nine schools in the south of the city. The Yamen patrol three times a day, which is the safest place. ”
When Shen Ying heard this, she immediately decided, "Okay! Let's buy a house in the south of the city!"
"Happy!" Renyazi smiled even more heartily than Shen Ying, and randomly pulled out another booklet. As for Zhuangzi, it was easy. There were several Zhuangzi that could be bought and sold in the suburbs of Fucheng, both large and small. Even the tenant farmers It's ready-made.
If you trust me, I will find you a seller who is easy to talk to and an honest tenant farmer. All you need to do is prepare the money. ”
Shen Ergou was a little worried, "What if something is wrong is discovered later?"
Renyazi patted his chest and promised: "If you have any questions, just come to me! After all, Mr. Lu recommended me, and I can't fool you even if I fool anyone, right?"
Shen Ying nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
With the help of Renyaozi, Shen Ying and others bought the house and Zhuangzi in three days.
The house is in the south of the city. The high-class houses here are typical Lizhou buildings. There is a large courtyard in the house for daily entertainment. The rest are all houses, one set at a time, and it is estimated that it can accommodate sixty or seventy people.
The furniture inside is all ready-made, but the only thing missing is bedding and the like. It’s so cold in the winter, so we can’t be careless.
After Shen Ying got the house, he asked a few children to clean it, while others followed him to the streets to buy quilts, winter coats and other things to keep out the cold.
It took almost two days for the children to stabilize.
After finishing these tasks, Shen Ying took Shen Ergou to prepare for the ceremony of cultivation and apprenticeship, and sent another recommendation letter from Lu Tong to the academy.
After many twists and turns, the children finally entered school successfully.
At this time, Lizhou ushered in the first snow.
Shen Ying said goodbye to Shen Ergou and the others in the wind and snow. After leaving Fucheng, he went to Zhuangzi again under the leadership of Ren Yaozi.
Zhuangzi was desolate in the heavy snow, and it was impossible to tell what was going on in the ground. Renyazi took Shen Ying to meet the tenants and introduced them to each other.
Shen Ying explained some important things before leaving.
When he returned to Zhaohua County after a long journey, he immediately went to see Shen Yi.
"Oh my God, traveling far away in the winter is really life-threatening! I used to envy Dagou and the others for their business, but now it seems that not everyone can make this money!" Shen Ying shrank into a ball.
Shen Yi had already asked people to prepare two stoves for him, but he was still trembling there.
Shen Yi hurriedly handed him a bowl of hot ginger soup, "Uncle, have everything been done?"
Shen Ying drank a bowl of soup and calmed down a little, and then she came to the scene.
"Everything is done. I bought a large house in the south of Fucheng. It cost one thousand two hundred taels. The house is very big and is enough for the children studying in our village. If it is not enough in the future, I will just buy another one. Anyway, the village is now There is no place to spend money. Once you buy the house, it belongs to the village, and you won’t lose it there.
In addition, I bought a village outside the city, with 80 acres of fertile land and 100 acres of dry land, plus some houses and other things, for a total of 600 taels. The tenant farmers are all ready-made. From now on, the village will have to send people to harvest the land every year. food. ”
Before he bought it, he had been feeling very nervous. After he actually bought it, he felt that he had bought too little, and regretted that he could not bring more money out.
Shen Yi couldn't help but nod, "In this way, our village is also a village with industry in Fucheng!"

How many other villages can do what Shenjiazhuang does?
Shen Ying smiled from ear to ear, "I think so too. Let's save some more money and buy more when the time comes. I have figured it out now. Everyone will miss this money when it is in their pockets. Only when it is spent can it become No one cares about things.
And you can still make money every year, and everyone can benefit from it, right? ”
"Uncle Yingming!"
Shen Yi praised Shen Ying and kept him in the county town for one night. The next day, he asked Yu Bei to drive him back to the village in a carriage.
Shen Ying returned to the village. After receiving the news, the villagers rushed over to ask about the situation in the city. When they learned that there were more industries in the village, they were as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.
Because of the cold weather, everyone dispersed after a while.
Shen Ying looked at his wife He strangely, "Why do I feel that there are so few people in the village?"
Mr. He gave him a big eye roll, "You've all gone to the other side of the Daxun River to pack seafood for Xiao Tai, how many can you do? I won't tell you, I still have to work in the sweater processing workshop! Again The caravan will set off in seven or eight days.”
As soon as He left, Shen Ying hurriedly put away the land deeds and went out to work.
The day when the caravan set off was the day when the Imperial Envoy Brigade returned to the imperial capital.
When they came here, Shen Congrong and his party obviously had a different feeling.
Previously in Lizhou, when the people heard that they were candidates who had passed the imperial examination, they looked at them with admiration and admiration, and even spoke to them with caution.
Even if the people of the imperial capital knew about their situation, they would not react superfluously, appearing indifferent and irrelevant.
Su Yongzhang was somewhat puzzled and unhappy, "Cousin, do they look down on us?"
Shen Congrong looked around and shook his head, "Probably not"
