Chapter 226 There Are Still Many Smart People

After measuring the land of Gujiaying, Lord Tang ordered to continue measuring the land of Lijiaying, and finally to Changshan Village.

Several people rushed to Lijiaying without stopping.

When they arrived at his second brother-in-law's house in Lijiaying, Yang Minghu accompanied Jintang and other adults to the back to measure the fields, while Yang Mingxi and others went to his second brother-in-law's house to sit.

The distance from Lijiaying to Dajue Temple is about four miles, with nothing but wasteland and gentle slopes along the way. Since the houses in Lijiaying are built relatively close to the mountain, there's less flat, wasteland behind the village. It's estimated that after measuring all of it, it would only be about thirty mu.

Yang Minghu directed the adults to measure out Yang Mingmo's dowry land first, just in time to use up all the wasteland behind Lijiaying.

The land behind Lijiaying gradually became flatter, with only a few gently sloping slopes remaining. After careful observation and reflection, Lu Jintang came up with a bold idea: he believed the land could be expanded to both sides. He then discussed the matter with Yang Minghu, and the two of them walked together to inspect it.

To the south, it could be extended all the way to the edge of the road leading to Changshan Village; and to the north, it could be extended all the way to the foot of the towering mountain south of Changping Village. However, this mountain was steep and rugged, and was obviously not suitable for growing various crops.

As for the remaining land, they could start from the relatively flat grassland below and work their way up to the top. Since the mountain is relatively flat, future development could create either layered, well-proportioned terraces or fertile farmland. Furthermore, this newly reclaimed land could be used to grow a variety of crops, greatly increasing land utilization and yield.

The two of them walked around quickly and decided that this was feasible. They asked Master Qin and the others to measure the area, and then they went to Dajue Temple.

Because if we measure it this way, Dajue Temple will be surrounded in the middle, so we must tell everyone about this.

The abbot of Dajue Temple was a little unhappy when he heard that Yang Minghu wanted to buy all the land here.

The abbot said, "Your behavior will affect the feng shui of our temple, so we cannot buy all of them for your family."

Yang Minghu was startled when he heard this and quickly said, "Then you decide what to do. We'll listen to you. After all, you've been here the whole time, and we're the ones who came later!"

Finally, the two parties negotiated and all the land under Dajue Temple was bought by Yang Minghu's family, but at least 30 acres of the land in front was left for the temple, and the rest could be given to the Yang family.

After hearing this, Lord Tang didn't say anything and just asked someone to measure according to the abbot's requirements.

Yang Mingyang, Yang Mingyu, and Yang Mingxi arrived at Li Lin's house. The Li family was all at home at the time, and when they saw the three Yang siblings, they were all delighted.

Yang Mingmo walked forward with a smile on his face, greeting his brother, younger brother and younger sister warmly, and kept saying that he would cook and prepare a sumptuous dinner himself, and asked everyone to eat before going back.

Seeing this, Yang Mingxi quickly said, "Second sister, please sit down and rest. Second brother-in-law, please go and invite my father, mother, and brother to come sit with us. We are here this time to discuss some important matters with you."

Yang Mingyang immediately echoed, "Yeah, everyone, stop being so busy and sit down! This is urgent, and we have to go out and do some work soon, so there's no need to be so polite."

After Yang Mingyang finished speaking, Yang Mingxi smiled slightly and continued, "Actually, this is what we've been thinking about. We're thinking of buying some gentle slopes behind your village and reclaiming them into dry land for growing crops. And since we also want to give my second sister a dowry, we're thinking of buying thirty acres of the wasteland behind your village and giving it to her. But I'm wondering if your family has plans to buy some land. If so, why don't we buy it together so we can manage it together in the future?"

After hearing this, Yang Mingmo was so surprised that her jaw almost dropped to the ground. Her eyes widened, her mouth opened wide, and she stammered, "Really...really, there's no need! My dowry is already more than enough. You can just go buy it yourself and don't give me any more!"

Yang Mingxi on the side quickly comforted her: "Second sister, don't worry! We have already made up for the eldest sister's share, so you don't have to feel any psychological burden at all!" After saying that, she also showed a sweet smile.

Seeing this, Li Lin quickly agreed, "That's right, Mo'er has been married for such a long time, why is there any need to give her any more dowry? Besides, the dowry she brought with her was already quite generous!" As he spoke, he waved his hands anxiously.

At this time, Yang Mingyu interrupted and said in a firm tone, "This dowry supplement is a decision that our family has discussed together, so don't be polite with us! But regarding the purchase of land, you still have to think carefully about it."

After saying this, he gently touched his head and continued, "By the way, the transfer procedures for my eldest brother-in-law's house have been successfully completed, and they have also been given an additional three acres of homestead! In addition, they have also bought the land in front of their house. Calculated at the price of riverside land, it is a full twenty acres!"

Li Lin opened his mouth to respond after hearing what his father said, but swallowed the words back. His father smiled and said, "When buying a house, you can just go through the transfer procedures. Why do you have to pay for the homestead?"

At this moment, a light suddenly flashed through Li Lin's mind, and he said excitedly: "Oh, Mom! I know, how much money do we have left at home? Why don't we buy some more land!"

Hearing this, Li's mother couldn't help but grumble, "Where can we get so much money? Your brother still has to go to school, and Mo'er is about to give birth to a baby. We need money everywhere. We can't buy this land!"

After hearing this, Father Li pondered for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face again. He hurriedly said to Mother Li, "Old woman, go and get all the money we have. Hurry up and don't talk too much!"

Yang Mingxi, standing nearby, saw that her second brother-in-law and her own father seemed to understand, so she stopped talking. When Li's mother turned to get the money, Yang Mingxi turned to look at Li Lin and asked with a smile, "Second brother-in-law, what have you been busy with recently? Do you have any free time to work in the workshop?"
