Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

A few people who were calculating, with a melancholy look on their faces, were about to start calculating again.

The price of wasteland was 2 coins per acre, the price of fields was 5 coins per acre, and the price of mountains and mountain ranges was 1 coin per acre.

Several accountants began to write and draw calculations again.

Zhao Yuanzhen also calculated it himself. The plain area is 3.8 acres, of which 1.5 acres have been reclaimed land and 2.3 acres are wasteland.

The hills and mountains are 1.4 acres.

The total price was two silver coins.

This is really a bargain. The court's policy on rebuilding Yanshan is so favorable that the price of land transactions has basically been reduced by 4 times.

Before, these lands would have been at least two.

However, these lands could not be approved before, and the imperial court would not allow individuals to own such a large area of ​​land.

The reason why Zhao Yuanzhen approved it was, firstly, that it was indeed beneficial to the reconstruction of Yanshan Prefecture, and secondly, it was because of Zhao Yuanlan's request.

The most important point is that if the imperial court wants to take back such a large area of ​​land, it can do so at any time. It just requires arranging a pretext.

This is also the drawback of feudal society.

However, Zhao Yuanzhen also knew that the imperial court would definitely not do this in the short term. After all, the Zhang family still played a very important role and had a lot of surplus value.

The people who were writing and drawing over there also finished the accounts, which were the same as Zhao Yuanzhen's.

The county magistrate looked at the silver note that Zhao Yuanzhen took out and began to write the land deed, including the location, the number of acres, and all the information in great detail.

Zhao Yuanzhen checked it several times and found no problem, so he handed the banknote to the county magistrate.

After taking the land deed with the signature and seal of the county government, the county magistrate was considerate enough to exchange it for a red deed.

Zhao Yuanzhen put it away with satisfaction.

"Mr. County Magistrate, I wonder how the houses in this city are sold?"

If you want to provide food and lodging for others, you have to buy a piece of land for construction. The city is convenient and fast, and is the most suitable place in the early stage. After development, you can build houses and farms in other places.

"If you live by yourself, you can apply for a quota housing. If you do business, a street shop costs 2 taels of silver per square meter. If you want to buy a large house, one mu of land costs 3 taels of silver."

The good houses have been registered by the county government, and the rest are just dilapidated houses that are basically uninhabitable and need to be demolished and rebuilt.

So, it was sold for the price of a piece of land.

An acre of land in the county town costs 3 taels, which is several times cheaper, and the price of shops is also several times cheaper.

"Okay, sir, I wonder if there are any large residential areas in the city. I want to buy more."

Because she didn't know how many people could be recruited, Zhao Yuanzhen first calculated based on a quota of 1 people.

"The area in the northeast of the city, that area has not yet been planned for quota housing, so it is currently all vacant and connected."

"Okay, then I'll take 300 acres of that piece."

By this calculation, the staff dormitories and public facilities should be barely usable.

The county magistrate's mouth twitched, you are really generous.

He then took the map and studied it. The 300 acres would include the northeastern part of the city. Except for the row of shops facing the street, all residential areas would be divided out.

"How about this, apart from the shops on the main street, there is about 628 acres of land there, I will sell it all to you."

"Sure. I'll take all the shops on the main street, the row on the north side of the street that are vacant."

The price is cheap now, and Zhao Yuanzhen buys as much as he can, appealing to the mentality that if you don't take advantage of a good deal, you're a jerk.

I have a lot of shops that I need to open, and I'm not worried about them being idle. If it really doesn't work out, I can just rent them out.

Even if you can't rent it out, just think of it as buying an estate for future generations.

Yanshan is a border city and an important checkpoint. After the Jin Kingdom surrenders and becomes a vassal of the Liang Dynasty, it is very likely that they will exchange what they have with each other. Zhao Yuanzhen is not afraid of wasting money by buying it.

"Shop, I need to do some statistics, please wait a moment."

He took out various account books and asked the people who had been writing and drawing to continue to count the accounts to see how many shops were still idle and had not been sold.

After calculating for a long time, the result is that there are still 28 shops that have not been sold.

"I want them all."

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Yuanzhen said he would buy them all.

Fortunately, when I checked the shops just now, I calculated the square meters of all the shops.

The smallest of these shops is over 40 square meters, while the largest is over 300 square meters, not including the area of ​​the backyard. However, because they were looted and burned by the Jin people, the houses and shops were in a mess and basically needed to be repaired or rebuilt.

Therefore, even if there is a second floor, the sale is calculated only according to the area of ​​the first floor. The total area of ​​all the shops is several square meters, which is the area of ​​the main street shops plus the area of ​​the backyard.

This time the accounts are easier to calculate. The money for the shop + the money for the housing area in the northeast of the city, the total is X2 taels + 628 acres X3 taels =.

After calculating the accounts, Zhao Yuanzhen sighed again. The housing prices in Yanshan were cheap. With more than 28 yuan, he could only buy two good shops in Beijing, but here he could buy 628 shops, plus acres of building land in the city.

Zhao Yuanzhen gave the government a total of two silver coins to buy houses, land, and shops, which was also a generous amount of money.

The county magistrate suddenly felt a little overwhelmed with so many silver bills in his hand.

You have to know that as a county magistrate, his annual salary was only 40 taels, and he would have to work for 1224 years to earn this money.

It’s not a very long time. Including reincarnation and rebirth, it’s only about 20 lifetimes. He can do it. He just needs to be reborn a few more times.

Put away these coveted banknotes, oh! We still have to build Yanshan well. No matter how much money we have, it is not as attractive as making this land prosperous again.

After paying the money, the county magistrate helped write all the contracts in detail in three copies, one for the government office, one for His Majesty to see, and one for Zhao Yuanzhen.

After the contract is concluded, I will directly give her a red deed instead, so there is no need to worry about losing it.

Look at the time, it's already evening, almost 7 o'clock. Everyone has been working hard writing, drawing, and calculating all afternoon, and even dragged the county magistrate to work overtime as well.

Zhao Yuanzhen waved her hand and said, "Let's go. Sister Zhao will treat us today."

Miss Zhao paid for all the expenses tonight.

"My Lord, gentlemen, it is really too late now. I have delayed you all for so long. I will treat you all to a simple meal. I hope the county magistrate will do me the honor."

The county magistrate touched his rumbling stomach and readily agreed.

His salary was so low that if someone could treat him to a meal, he could save the money for a meal.

What's more, he was delayed in returning home because of her.

"Okay, then let Miss Zhao pay for it."

The county magistrate had seen her signature and knew that her last name was Zhao.

"Your Excellency is joking. This is my blessing. Let's go, and the other gentlemen can come along."

After everyone had packed up, they followed Zhao Yuanzhen to eat. They chose the same restaurant where they had eaten last time and asked for a private room.

The waiter took the menu and Zhao Yuanzhen asked the magistrate to order first. The magistrate, considering his status, ordered four dishes. Some of the other accountants ordered and some did not, for a total of seven dishes. Zhao Yuanzhen was afraid that it would not be enough, so he ordered five more main dishes and some appetizers.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. Miss Zhao was really kind and generous. She made sure they all ate well and even ordered some wine.

After dinner, everyone went back home to their own mothers.

Zhao Yuanzhen also planned to find a place to sleep.

I didn’t want to go to the inn because it was too troublesome, so I simply found a secluded place where no one was and entered the space.

Looking at the various contracts that were just transferred.

She was a little excited. Not counting the farm and land in the capital, she was now a landowner with more than 5 acres of land.

And he was not just an ordinary landlord, but a big landlord who owned half of the county.

It’s beautiful just thinking about it.

Now that the land is in hand, the remaining issue is how to plan it.

After washing up, she changed into comfortable pajamas, lay on the big bed, and slowly planned her land in her mind.

Open the map and write and draw.

The area in the north of the city is sparsely populated, so some cash crops can be grown there. In the south of the city, some high-yield food crops can be grown.

This small plain connecting the mountains to the south and north of the city has about 0.3 acres of wasteland and fields, which means more than 3000 acres of arable land.

This area can be used to grow fruits and vegetables.

For the mountainous areas, buy some medicinal seeds that can adapt to the northern temperatures, scatter them there, and let them grow freely.

The most troublesome thing is the planning of living areas and workshop areas in the city.

The scale of this workshop is definitely bigger than the farm in the capital. Her plan is to only supply the capital and the ferry with the goods manufactured in the farm in the capital. However, the current Yanshan base is to transport crops, finished products, semi-finished products, etc. to all parts of the country. In this way, the workshop will have to be larger.

I don't want to use my brain anymore. I can just copy Zhuangzi's rough blueprint.

It’s just a matter of size, which will be determined when the specific building is constructed.

The canteen will definitely still be a large canteen model, which means we need to build two more.

There is only accommodation, which needs to be analyzed in detail based on how many people come, whether they are single or family, male or female, and whether there are more males or females.

Singles live in dormitories, which are four-person dormitories.

For families, a couple and their children live in two connected suites of about 30 square meters. They don’t need to cook for themselves and eat in the cafeteria, so there is no need for a cafeteria or a restaurant.

More than 30 square meters should be enough.

Among the basic needs of life such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, what worries Zhao Yuanzhen the most is clothes.

She was struggling over whether to make clothes, shoes, hats, quilts, etc. for them.

The number of people doing this is really huge. If we don't do it, we are afraid that the children from poor families will have to travel thousands of miles to make money and have no clothes to wear.

There is also a set of daily necessities, including basins, towels, toothbrushes, tooth powder, pillows, etc., which should also be distributed.

Maybe those who come to work will bring their own, but the journey is really long, and it would be too tiring to carry these trivial daily necessities along the way. There will probably be few people who bring them, and they may still have to distribute them themselves.

The people who come here are workers, not the buyers themselves. At most they can sign a work contract, but it will be troublesome to manage it themselves.
