The female general of the last days returned to ancient times to raise a young prostitute

The next day, Father Mo and his group went to Zhangjia Village again, but this time was different. This time, Mo Rao also went with them.

The reason was simply that Mo's father felt insecure carrying so much silver. Thinking of his daughter's strength, which could kill a wild boar with one punch, he brought her along to give her courage.

Mo Rao wanted to laugh when she saw her father's nervous expression. It was only five hundred taels, was her father so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead?

Mo Lao Rao wanted to laugh at Old Man Mo, but seeing his cautious expression, she didn't dare to laugh. If she really dared to do that, she had no doubt that she would be criticized.

The oxcart arrived at the village chief's house. Village chief Zhang was surprised to see the newcomer.

What are you doing?

Mo Qingshan handed the thing in his hand to Village Chief Zhang.

The village chief interrupted.

Village Chief Zhang looked at the fruit and pastries in his hands. He was surprised by the Mo family's generosity. Yesterday, they came over and bought sugar and pastries. They were all expensive.

Fruits like this are only sold in the capital, and the cakes don't look cheap either.

Mo Rao had indeed bought these oranges in the prefecture. One jin cost twenty wen. Seeing that the oranges were quite sweet, Mo Rao bought two jins. If she hadn't wanted the village chief to help her, how could she have been willing to give the oranges away? She hadn't even eaten them yet.

Just come, why bring gifts?

Village Chief Zhang said polite words, but without stopping his hands, he placed the things on the table beside him.

Mo Qingshan said, "Village Chief, this is what I am saying. We plan to buy all 50 acres of land. Do you think the owner can offer a lower price?"

If it's a little less, we can make the deal today, Mo Qingshan said.

Village Chief Zhang was also stunned after hearing this. He had never thought they would actually come to buy it. After all, this was not a small amount of money. It was more than five hundred taels of silver.

He also knew how Zhang Lanlan married the boy from the Mo family.

Some time ago, it was said that the Mo family had made a fortune, but it was later taken away by his grandfather and the second old lady's family.

He only left them enough money to marry wives.

What is the situation now? If you say you want to buy fifty acres, just buy it.

Seeing that the village chief didn't say anything, Mo Qingshan reminded him again: "Village Chief Zhang, can you talk to the master?"

The village chief hurriedly said, "I'll have someone call Landlord Zhang over. You two can talk."

As he said this, he called his eldest grandson and asked him to go to Landlord Zhang's house to call for help.

After a while, Landlord Zhang came over.

The man who came was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a plump body. He looked like the kind of person who had extra food at home.

Mo Qingshan said: Master Zhang, can you please give us a little less land?

Landlord Zhang said, "This is excellent paddy field. Everyone sells it for twelve taels per mu. If I weren't in a hurry to sell it, I wouldn't sell it for eleven taels. A discount of one tael is already a very favorable price. I can't sell it any less."

When Mo Qingshan heard Landlord Zhang say the price couldn't be any lower, he didn't know how to negotiate. After all, bargaining wasn't his strong point.

Mo Rao stepped forward and said: Mr. Zhang, please give us a discount and we will transfer the ownership immediately. If the ownership is transferred earlier, you can set off earlier, arrive in Beijing earlier, and make plans earlier.

Village Chief Zhang said, "Mr. Zhang, just give me a little less. I bought it with sincerity."

Landlord Zhang thought for a moment and said, "This price really can't be any lower. How about this? The rice can be harvested right away. Originally, I was supposed to harvest the rice before handing over the land."

I can't afford the rice now. You can give me 15 taels, and you can pay 30% of the tax.

"How about this?" said Landlord Zhang.

Mo Rao thought for a moment and said: What is the yield of rice per acre in this field?

Landlord Zhang said: About two hundred to three hundred kilograms.

Mo Rao then asked: Are there any taxes or the like when the government office issues the deed?

Village Chief Zhang said, "There's a handling fee of ten cents per mu of land."

Mo Rao asked Landlord Zhang, "You are the one who pays the handling fee."

Landlord Zhang said: Yes, I will pay for it.

Mo Rao calculated it in his mind and thought it was okay, so he said directly: Okay, then it’s a deal.

Mo Rao touched the silver in her arms. Fortunately, she brought dozens of taels with her when she went out, otherwise she would have to run back home.

Landlord Zhang hurried back to get the land deed. How come Village Chief Zhang hadn't thought of this? That's it.

It seems that the Mo family is not what everyone says it is. Zhang Lanlan is really lucky.

By chance, she married into a good family. He had heard about Zhang Lanlan's family a few days ago. They had paid off all their foreign debts.

It seems to be true. The Mo family bought such a large amount of land. They can definitely afford to pay back this mere few dozen taels.

Landlord Zhang brought the land deed. Father Mo then took out 565 taels of silver under the witness of the village chief.

After confirming that both parties had no issues, the village chief wrote the sales document and both parties signed and sealed it.

The village chief took the sales documents and went to the government office to change the household ownership.

When I came to Zhangjia Village, I naturally went to Zhang Lanlan's house.

Arriving at the door of Zhang Lanlan's house, Mo Rao discovered that Zhang Lanlan's family lived an extremely hard life.

Two dilapidated thatched houses stood abruptly, looking fragile and ready to collapse in the wind at any moment.

The thatch on the roof is already sparse and leaking everywhere, which makes people worry about the living environment inside the house.

Walking into the house, the sight is desolate. A shabby table stands alone in the middle.

A few rickety stools were scattered around, barely supporting this simple space. The walls were lit everywhere.

Such a scene makes people feel heavy, and it is not difficult to imagine the hardships of life for the people living here.

This seems to be even harder than their family's previous life.

Suddenly, Mo Ran felt that their family's life in the past was not bad. At least better than Zhang Lanlan's family.

Mo Rao's feelings deepened when she saw Zhang Lanlan's brother and sister-in-law. They were like walking skeletons. How could this person live like this?

When Zhang Lanlan first arrived at their house, she was also frighteningly thin, but at least she was better off than them. She had been eating well and living comfortably at their house these days, and her complexion had improved considerably.

Could it be that they saved the food for Zhang Lanlan to eat? That doesn't seem likely! Zhang Lanlan has been at their house for quite a few days now. She's a good person, not a selfish person.

When Zhang Lanlan saw her younger brother and sister-in-law, she found them thinner than the last time she came. Tears started to fall down her cheeks.

Zhang Lanlan choked up and said, "Linzi, don't we have food at home? How come you've all become so thin?"

It’s okay, sister, Zhang Lin said a little awkwardly.

Zhang Lanlan brought her family with her today, which was something Zhang Lin had not expected. He felt a little anxious for a moment.

It was already noon. They were definitely going to have dinner at home. But they didn't know that their eldest sister's family would be coming today.
