C69 Negotiate to buy land (1/2)

Seeing that Yeats had already started to boil the water and was no longer entangled with the question of why Gao Mi was wet, Fang Ruxiu exchanged glances with Fang Yizheng and the others with a hidden look in his eyes that was filled with pride.

Some people said that ten years was not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. However, Fang Ruxiu felt that she was only a woman, and that it was too late for her to take revenge. Moreover, she had already endured for so long, she had even forgotten about it. Who knew that this Fang Changheng was going to bring his two children to Zhang Shi's parents' house? Then, about the matter of them causing her to fall and stealing her meat bun, she had not settled the score with them yet.

Not to mention she was a vile character, she had a personality that refused to be taken advantage of.

It didn't matter if he had reincarnated, but if he was going to suffer a loss, he would be worse off than a rooster.

This was the first time for the family to have a hearty meal in the morning, so Fang Ruxiu passed the silver notes to Fang Changfu and had him go and buy some land for her.

Fang Changfu had not seen a hundred taels of silver in banknotes ever since he was alive. When he saw Fang Ruxiu pass the banknotes to him, he first looked at them carefully, then asked in surprise: ”Ru Xiu, where did you get this money from?”

As usual, Fang Ruyi told Fang Changfu the explanation she used to have. After all, Fang Changfu did not know the details of the embroidery process from the front. However, Fang Changfu was a very upright person, he immediately asked Fang Ruyan to return it the next time, saying that he could not take other people's things.

Father, don't worry, we will just borrow the money for a while, and when the time comes, we will just return it to him. Furthermore, he also wants to repay this debt of gratitude, and if I don't give him this opportunity, it will hurt his feelings.

”Alright, if Embroidery is right, then we will be people with a debt of 100 taels of silver in the future. Father will buy the land first, and in the future, our family will be able to work hard and we will be able to return it.”

Hearing Fang Changfu's words, Fang Ruxiu nodded his head heavily. This kind of upright person, although a little pedantic, could still be quite cute at times. At the very least, Fang Ruxiu liked to live in this kind of family.

Therefore, Fang Changfu began to look for ways to buy land. Fang Ruxiu originally wanted to go too, but she was after all thirteen years old, and could be considered a big girl. It was indeed a little inappropriate to follow Fang Changfu to such a place, so she could only exhort Fang Changfu a little, and then stay.

It was soon time to start the spring plowing. After Fang Changfu finished buying the land, Fang Ruyi also started to get busy. However, Fang Ruyi was someone who could not stay idle. Today, there was an acre of land in their home, and it was by the small river in the village. Fang Ruzhu intended to use it to plant some other land.

After all, in the ancient times, the agricultural tax was too heavy. Planting some common things like rice was simply not worth it. Fang Ruxiu had asked Fang Weicheng before, saying that she would normally need to collect twenty percent of the annual production. In ancient times, with such heavy taxes, even if one had their own land, deducting the cost, it would still not make much money.

Therefore, ordinary people would meticulously care for their own fields. If it was a good year, naturally they would eat well. If it was a bad year, there wouldn't even be enough to eat, because the taxes were fixed.

Just thinking about it made Fang Ruzhu's heart ache. In the modern era, there was no need to pay the agricultural tax at all.

Therefore, she placed her hopes on Fang Yizhi. If he was able to become an Elementary Scholar, then there would be no need to pay taxes for the land in that family.

However, he was still young. In order to become an Elementary Scholar, he would need at least a few years.

In the morning, Fang Yizheng went up the mountain to chop firewood, while Fang Yizhi went to the academy to register today. After playing with Fang Yicheng for a while, Fang Ru Xiu called for Fang Yicheng to go to Master Fang's room and have Master Fang teach him how to read.

She knew that right now, the Fang family's old man was very bored to be at home by himself, and he also really liked his grandson. Fang Ruxiu originally wanted to take Fang Yicheng with her, but she was too busy thinking about her and couldn't teach him anything. Thus, she decided to just throw him to Fang Weicheng, killing two birds with one stone.

Having just been separated from his family, Yeats had a lot of things to do. Seeing that the corridor was filled with bottles, chairs, and other items, Fang Ruyi suddenly felt that this house was too crowded.

There were only three low thatched cottages, and so many people, as well as so many things. It would be fine if the pots and pans were placed on the veranda on a sunny day, but on a rainy day, they would definitely be soaked by the rain. They wanted to build a kitchen.

Fang Ru Xiu felt dizzy as she thought about the problem of bathing and keeping up with the restroom. She had endured for so long, but now that she had money, she didn't have to buy land. Wouldn't it be great if she could build a house first? Thinking about all these, Fang Ruxiu jumped up. She wanted to tell Fang Changfu not to take out all the money to buy the land first.

After buying the land, he still needed to pay taxes. If he bought a piece of land for the house, then he would be able to grow some things in the house, then raise some chickens and ducks, then dig a pond to raise fish, the dung from the chickens and ducks could be used to raise fattened fish, he and Fang Yizheng would be bored at home everyday, they could also go cut grass to raise fish, and the mud from the pond could also be used to farm.

On the other hand, she didn't know what to plant if she bought the land. If she randomly planted some rice and peanuts, she would have to pay a lot of taxes. In times of disaster, she and her family would still starve. It was not worth it.

She wanted to call Fang Changfu back, but she didn't know who Fang Changfu was at, so she could only let this go. In any case, in just a day's time, he might not be able to finalize all of these matters.
