Chapter 311 Buying Land and Building a House
"The specific work will be arranged by Butler Chang."
After some encouraging words, Lin Shu handed the matter over to Chang San.
With servants in place, Chang San officially took office as the butler.
Lin Shu's basic team has been set up, and specific matters will be gradually refined.
If you want to gain a foothold here, you must have your own territory and manpower.
Buying land and houses in the provincial capital became the next focus.
Lin Shu doesn't have to worry about these things. She just needs to pay the money and know the result.
That's how the term "hands-off boss" came about.
...
"Lin Hongqing, Lin Hongshi, come in."
Lin Shu roared in a deep voice, frightening the twins so much that they followed with weak legs.
"Puff~Boom~"
"Puff~Boom~"
The twins could no longer bear the pressure and fell to their knees as soon as they entered the room.
"Little sister, it's all my fault." Lin Hongshi cried and told the whole story.
“Several days of heavy rain trapped all the refugees in a mountain temple.
When the flood reached the temple gate, we found a live wild boar.
The Bird's Nest team agreed to salvage the wild boar together, and I don't know who gave us a push.
When I woke up, I was swept away by the flood...
If I wasn't greedy, I wouldn't be where I am today, and I wouldn't be separated from my parents."
"Do you know who pushed it?" Lin Shu gritted her teeth.
A bunch of ungrateful and short-sighted people.
I must have received a lot of help from the Lin family along the way.
He actually had such a vicious idea. If the truth were to be discovered, his entire family would be made to drink the flood water.
"I don't know." Lin Hongshi said dejectedly.
Lin Hongqing also shook his head. He was so happy at the time that he didn't even notice who was standing behind him.
"The truth will eventually come out. Do you want to come with me to find Father Lin, or go to school in the capital city?" Lin Shu said with a flash in her eyes.
A family of country folk needs a scholar to show off their appearance.
After passing the examination and becoming a scholar, you can be exempted from various taxes and save some money.
In the past, Lin Shu only wanted to let her brothers develop freely.
Do what you like and live the life you want.
But she found that this was a bad idea, and she was the one who should enjoy it the most.
"I will go to school in the city, and then go back to see my parents after I pass the imperial examination.
Otherwise, I would be too ashamed to see them." Lin Hongqing said excitedly.
He loved reading since he was young, but his parents had no money to send him to a private school.
“Okay, I’ll arrange this.
While you are at school, you also need to learn to manage household affairs.
Don't turn a deaf ear to what's happening outside, and focus on reading the books of sages.
Even if such a person passes the imperial examination, he will be a good official with no achievements. "
After Lin Shu finished speaking, she looked at Lin Hongshi.
"What are your plans, little brother? Are you going to go home and farm for the rest of your life?
If you want to farm, I can buy you a hundred acres of wasteland, how about that? "
The twins opened their mouths wide, not knowing how to describe the young man in front of them.
There's an indescribable aura about her, but you can tell at a glance that she's your sister from the same mother.
After not seeing him for a few months, he had grown to their shoulders.
Although he has the same face, he is completely different from them.
After living under the same roof for six years, we suddenly became so strangers.
“Don’t look at me so stupidly, most of the things I have now were given to me by my master.
If I have the chance, I will let you meet me and you will understand.
If you can’t figure something out, go back to your room and think about it slowly.
If you have any plans, tell me after you have thought them through. "
Lin Shu decisively waved her hand to drive them away. She had changed so much now.
It is normal for people close to you to feel strange and suspicious.
Who made her have a master who can go to heaven and earth!
It’s so awesome!
...
Time passed quietly, and the twins still hadn't figured it out.
Through her fifth brother, Lin Shu bought 800 acres of wasteland in Shilipu in the suburbs.
Shilipo is located between mountains and rivers, only thirty miles away from the city.
But the treatment here is completely different. Weeds are growing everywhere and the houses are collapsing.
Traces of wild animals can be seen everywhere, and some collapsed houses have become their homes.
Wild animals have become frequent visitors here, and the refugees assigned here are often harmed by them.
The crops that were planted did not yield a single grain of harvest.
Eventually, they had to move away from Shilipo.
Shilipo suddenly became a hot potato in the hands of the government.
Of course I would be delighted to see someone coming to buy something.
It was sold at an average price of 500 wen, and the surrounding hills and river beaches were also given as a gift.
The red deed they got stated that there were 1,200 acres of wasteland, hilltops and riverbanks.
This made Lin Shu overjoyed.
Having the right to use the river beach and the hilltop completely saved the trouble of purchasing another sum of silver.
Lin Shu generously gave her fifth brother a large silver ingot as a thank you gift, and said it casually.
"Fifth brother, can you find someone through the government?"
"Sure, as long as you can afford it, there's no problem." The fifth brother rubbed his fingers.
“Most of the people who come here to settle down come from all corners of the country.
If you want to find your relatives as quickly as possible, the best way is to go through the government to find out where they will be resettled..."
The more Lin Shu listened, the more she felt it made sense. This was clearly a win-win organization for both the public and private sectors, and only someone behind the scenes could accomplish this.
There are also many successful cases.
"Okay, please help me, Fifth Brother. I will never treat you unfairly." Lin Shu said sincerely.
"Thank you for your concern, Fifth Brother. The purpose of our visit to the capital city is to find our relatives." Lin Hongyi stood up and bowed.
"Since you call me Fifth Brother, I will honor you.
From now on, I am your fifth brother.
I'll take care of this matter and give you an answer in two days." The fifth brother looked at the brother and sister seriously.
"Fifth brother!" the brother and sister said in unison.
"Hey, big brother, little sister!
Hahaha! ! ! "
The fifth brother laughed a few times and strode away.
...
The land has been purchased, but there is still a lot of work to do afterwards.
Land reclamation and house construction will be the focus.
Fortunately, the ground in the city does not freeze in winter, so it is easy to recruit workers as long as there is work to do.
Six hundred taels of silver were invested in the early stage, and I don’t know how many six hundred taels of silver will be invested in the later stage.
Lin Shumo calculated the expenses of the manor and felt that the money was flowing out.
Once back in the yard, he would lock himself up and not let anyone disturb him.
Draw pictures of houses, estate distribution, and planting scale.
It was already noon of the second day when he appeared in front of everyone again.
A messy mess of hair, dark circles under the eyes, and wrinkled clothes.
Lin Shu was breathing heavily, with barely noticeable eye boogers hanging from the corners of her eyes.
"Bring me something to eat. I'm starving."
'whoosh~'
'whoosh~'
Two green figures, carrying food boxes and toiletries, appeared in front of Lin Shu.
"Little sister, I've brought you some water and food."
"Third brother, little brother, why are you two here?
You have figured it out, right? "
Lin Shu yawned continuously until she finished washing up and felt better.
Especially that messy hair, which finally lay obediently on the top of the head and turned into two small buns.
Pick up a big bowl of臊子面, stir it twice and gulp it down.
One bowl is definitely not enough.
Lin Hongshi took out another large bowl that he had prepared and handed it to her.
"Little sister, eat it while it's hot.
My third brother and I have decided to stay in the city to go to school."
