Chapter 295 Acquisition of Dahe Village Land
After coming out of the palace, Su Tang sat in the carriage back to Prince Qi's Mansion. Along the way, several young eunuchs holding wooden boxes following behind her carriage were very eye-catching.
"Is this an award from the palace?" a passerby stopped to discuss.
In their opinion, the person sitting in the carriage in front might be the eunuch who came from the palace to convey the emperor's order.
"Didn't you see the logo of Prince Qi's Palace on the carriage?" someone reminded.
"Which logo? Oh, oh, I see. It's the Qi family logo. But the King of Qi is not in Kyoto."
"Are you stupid? The King of Qi is not here, but the Queen of Qi is here. Have you forgotten who the King of Qi married?"
"The Grand Princess."
Now it all makes sense. There is nothing wrong with the eldest princess coming out of the palace with some rewards from Emperor Jing.
Gradually, the crowd stopped discussing the people in the carriage and began to speculate what the eunuchs were holding in their hands.
Fortunately, the Prince Qi's Mansion was not far from the Imperial Palace, and the carriage arrived at the Prince Qi's Mansion quickly.
After the young eunuch handed the wooden box in his hand to the guards of Prince Qi's Mansion, they said goodbye to Su Tang and returned to the palace to report.
"What are these?" Chunmei asked as she looked at the wooden boxes handed over by the guards.
"They are all medicinal herbs. Let's put them in the small warehouse first." Su Tang would not send the medicinal herbs brought back from the palace to Dahe Village.
She is now very sensitive about the edible things rewarded by the palace. After all, Su Tang feels that the cause of Concubine Su's death was not that simple.
Just think about it, how could a concubine who was so favored at the time suddenly die during childbirth?
Moreover, the Second Prince, whom Emperor Jingdi favored at the time, was also poisoned by a chronic poison, which caused his body to remain weak. Even all the imperial doctors predicted that the Second Prince would not live to adulthood.
"By the way, pack up, we will leave Beijing for Dahe Village in the afternoon." Su Tang ordered again.
Dahe Village.
Su Tang arrived at Dahe Village and went straight to see Professor Tian.
"Hey, why are you here?" Professor Tian asked in surprise when he saw Su Tang.
"Where is the sign in your hand?" Su Tang asked.
"Oh, I carry it with me." Professor Tian said as he pulled out a cloth bag from his collar, inside of which was the black sign that Su Tang wanted.
This brand is also what Tian Ningxue wanted.
Tian Ningxue, who had followed Professor Tian to the field, also saw the black card. Her eyes flashed for a moment, then she calmed down again and continued to tend to the herb in front of her with the hoe in her hand.
"What do you want this for?" Professor Tian asked curiously. "Is that what you want again?"
Professor Tian was talking about the illusion that Su Tang suddenly entered.
"Yeah, I encountered some adventures." Su Tang put away the black card and turned to look at Tian Ningxue who was standing beside her. "Ningxue, you asked me for this black card before, why don't you come and grab it now?"
Su Tang said this while shaking the black card in her hand.
"I'm no longer interested in this brand." Tian Ningxue looked up at the black card in Su Tang's hand, and sure enough, her eyes were calm.
Before, Tian Ningxue was very interested in this black card, but Su Tang always said that she didn't have it.
Now that the black card was in front of Tian Ningxue, she really didn't have the slightest intention of snatching it.
Su Tang no longer tested Tian Ningxue, perhaps Tian Ningxue had really given up.
Su Tang remembered that Tian Ningxue had said before that there were two such black cards, one in the hands of the high priest of Southern Xinjiang and the other in the hands of another person.
Now the black card in the other person's hand has fallen into Su Tang's hands. If Su Tang wants to unlock the secret of the illusion, she needs to take the other card from the high priest of Southern Xinjiang.
"What's going on?" Professor Tian also turned his head to look at Tian Ningxue, and then asked with a little concern.
"I'll show it to you when we get back." Su Tang smiled, then looked at the medicinal field in front of her where Professor Tian and his colleagues were tending.
"This herb is well taken care of."
"Yes, these are all things we take care of carefully every day." Speaking of this medicinal field, Professor Tian became excited, his expression full of pride.
"Haha, look how proud you are. After we harvest this wave of medicinal herbs, we will only plant rare medicinal herbs here next year, and plant the common medicinal herbs over at the villa. I plan to open up another medicinal field next to the villa."
"Yes, in fact, the fields in Dahe Village are more suitable for planting. There is a big river there. Every year during the dry season, we can dig out some silt from the river and pour it into the fields. It's a natural fertilizer..." Speaking of this, Professor Tian had more to say.
Su Tang thought for a moment and nodded, "That's fine. I'll go back and ask the village chief. If that doesn't work, we can buy Dahe Village as well. As for the villagers, if they are willing to stay and continue farming, we'll sign a generous salary agreement with them. If they want to seek other ways to make a living, we'll give them a reasonable amount of money."
"Well, that's fine too." Professor Tian responded.
Su Tang thought about it, looked around the valley again, then went to Dahe Village to find the village chief and told him her idea.
"This...these fields are the roots of our people. I guess many people don't want to sell their fields." Village chief Liu said hesitantly.
On the one hand, he knew that the villagers were all unskilled peasants who had grown up in Dahe Village for generations, and most of them knew nothing except farming.
There is nothing else but a lot of strength.
After selling the land, the money is limited and will be spent sooner or later.
But, as long as the fields are still there, no matter how difficult the situation is, as long as you are not a lazy person, you can always dig some food out of the fields to fill your stomach.
Village chief Liu himself is unwilling to sell his land. He also wants to pass his land down to his descendants.
"I have an agreement here, please take a look first." Su Tang also knew what these farmers were concerned about.
The agreement she was going to sign with everyone was certainly not an ordinary agreement.
In the agreement, she specifically stipulated that the land would be purchased by Sutang for fifty years. After the fifty years, those who were willing to continue selling the land to Sutang could continue to sell it, while those who were unwilling could take back their land.
Of course, during the acquisition period, Su Tang decides what to plant on the land, and the final output naturally belongs to Su Tang.
The purchase fee that Sutang gives to everyone is also very generous, which is much higher than what everyone pays to grow their own food every year.
After reading the agreement handed over by Su Tang, Village Chief Liu thought for a moment and said, "Will this land be returned to us after the expiration of the agreement?"
"Yes, it will be indicated on the agreement. If you have any other ideas, and if they are not particularly strange or unreasonable, I will consider adding them. I will leave a copy of this agreement at the county government office, so that everyone can feel more at ease."
