Chapter 599 The Most Suitable Candidate for Village Head

Several people stood on the top of the slope, looking at the open space around them. The yamen runner turned to look at Bai Yunxi,

"How much does the lady want? Before we came, we had checked the map. This piece of land is a gravel wasteland with limited production and a cheap price of one hundred coins per mu. But as long as you buy it, you will still pay taxes according to the law after three years."

Hearing this, Bai Yunxi nodded. The two were telling the truth, but it was really cheap.

Bai Yunxi was too lazy to worry about the name. He pointed to a piece of slope in front of him and drew a circle.

"I want to buy all this slope. To be honest, this time I bought it not for land reclamation, but to raise some poultry. The place is bigger and more open."

Listening to Bai Yunxi's explanation, the two nodded,

"Raising poultry does require a larger area. I understand. Let's start measuring now.

As they talked, they took out the auxiliary tools for measurement, a bundle of ropes and a step bow, marked the starting position, and one person measured with his feet, One person assisted in recording.

Yun: One person lifts his foot and it is called a ku, and a ku is three feet. Two lifts are called a bu, and a bu is six feet...

Bai Yunxi has seen it twice, and it is no longer strange to measure the land with feet.

One person measured and the other took notes, and finally they converted together...Bai Yunxi only understood the conversion process, which was the most primitive conversion method.

I have to say that people in this period were really smart. Although the conversion process was troublesome, it was very accurate.

I have learned this when I bought a sloping land last time.

"From the tone of these two people, my cousin is very familiar with them?" As soon as they met, she felt that the relationship between the three was not ordinary.

"It's nothing. After becoming the head of the village, I often went to the town government office and invited them to drink a few times. After a few visits, they became familiar with each other. "

Bai Yunshan smiled. This was unavoidable. It is said that it is easier to get things done if you have someone in the government. If you don't take the initiative, who will care about you?

"I see. Apart from anything else, it is true that my uncle was right to choose you. My cousin is indeed the most suitable person to be the head of Liushuwan."

He is steady, active, and popular. It is a bit of a waste of talent to be the head of the village.

"It's not as good as you say. I was just forced to do it. "

If his parents were not old and needed someone around, he would not be willing to take over. Even so, he had to go to the county twice a month.

The two chatted about family matters while watching them measure the slope, walk a distance, and stop to make records.

After measuring a circle, they squatted together to convert.

Bai Yunxi glanced at the sky, told the second son to wait here, said hello to his cousin, and turned back home to let Mrs. Du prepare the meal.

When she came over with the sugar water, the two were still converting on the ground.

Watching them, Bai Yunxi poured them a glass of water and put it aside without urging them, and stepped aside to wait for the results.

When the two of them converted the acres clearly, it was past noon.

Zhao Guang walked up to Bai Yunxi with a small notebook for recording,

"It has been measured, a total of 22.7 acres... No one except you will buy this kind of wasteland. We brothers have discussed it and put 20 acres in your file. "

Bai Yunxi listened, thanked them immediately, and invited them to go home for dinner.

"You've been busy for most of the day, and you two haven't had time to drink water. I've asked my daughter-in-law to prepare the food. Please move on."

They gave her a free pass, saving her nearly three hundred coins. Such kindness was naturally appreciated.

After listening to Bai Yunxi's invitation, the two looked up at the sky, and bowed to the Bai Yunshan brothers and sisters to express their gratitude.
