Chapter 70: There is an aura that makes people subconsciously feel that she should not be provoked
Yuan Man was somewhat moved when she saw the old man cleaning the stable. Perhaps others could not understand what he was insisting on, not even she.
I can only sigh that he really loves horses, so he wants to take care of the horses whenever he can move.
"Dad, our new boss is here." Lu Router shouted.
Lu Dabao, who was cleaning the stable, turned around immediately when he heard his words.
Perhaps because of his age, his eyesight has deteriorated. He squinted for a long time before he seemed to be able to see the person clearly.
"New owner?"
"Yes, Dad, the new owner brought 10,000 foals." Lu Lu stepped forward and helped Lu Dabao walk out.
After all, no matter how clean the stable is, there will still be a smell.
Yuan Man smiled and looked at them.
Lu Dabao stepped forward, looked at Yuan Man and asked, "Do you really have 10,000 young horses?"
"Yes." Yuan Man nodded.
"It will be delivered tomorrow at the latest."
Lu Dabao grinned and said, "Okay, okay, the grass here has grown very tall. We just need some horses to feed it."
For him, having horses to feed is more important than anything else.
He liked watching the horses galloping, unrestrained and free.
After talking with Lu Dabao, Lu took Yuanman to look around the horse farm. In the end, his suggestion was to buy the land in the south because the grass there grew better and was wider.
The other thing is that there is a two-meter-wide river over there, which is the stream flowing down from the mountain.
Yuan Man did not agree immediately, but walked up the stream for a distance. After confirming that there would be no problem with the stream, he followed the route and said, "The land on the south side, from there, walk up the stream until you reach the mountain outside Beifangcheng, and you can buy all the land there."
"Go find the government office and ask how much these plots of land cost."
Lu Lu's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately, "Yes, I'll go ask right away." After saying that, he ran out of the horse farm.
Yuanman looked at the mountain and wondered whether he should buy it together. After some consideration, he gave up.
Lulu didn't return to the horse farm until the evening. Seeing Yuan Man's embarrassed face, he said, "Boss, I didn't get it done. The county magistrate said that the land over there is not for sale."
Yuan Man frowned, "Did you say why you didn't sell it?"
"The county magistrate didn't say, but my subordinates went to inquire and found out that the land was promised to the Liu family by the county magistrate of Beifangcheng."
"The Liu family is the garrison of the Northern Defense City. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to buy it."
Yuan Man looked at the land and asked, "Are you talking about the large piece of land from this side to the foot of the mountain, or a certain piece?"
"None of them are for sale." said Router.
That would be interesting.
From here to the foot of the mountain, there are probably more than a thousand acres of land.
Even if the land here is not valuable, it would cost at least one or two taels of silver per mu. How could a garrison have so much silver to buy such a large piece of land?
"Come on, come with me to the yamen again. I want to see if Captain Liu is really that rich." After saying this, Yuan Man walked out of the horse farm.
When we arrived at the entrance of the stable, Yuan Yi came over leading the horse.
Lu led an old horse and led the way towards Beifangcheng.
When the people guarding the Beifang City gate saw Yuan Man coming back, they immediately turned around to report the news.
Yuan Man just glanced at it and didn't take it seriously, and went straight to the county government office.
When they arrived at the county government office, the guards standing at the gate saw that Lu had come again and couldn't help but frown and said, "Why can't you come again? Didn't our master say that the land will not be sold? Hurry up and leave."
Lu Lu stepped forward and said, "Our boss wants to come and understand the situation, so please help inform the adults again."
The soldier looked at Yuan Man who was still sitting on his horse, and was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a while, he said, "Wait, I'll go ask the master."
Yuan Man jumped off his horse, looked at the people walking on the side of the road, changed his mind and walked straight in.
Seeing this, the yamen soldiers standing on the other side hesitated and did not stop them from entering.
As Yuan Man walked into the lobby, the county magistrate came out.
The county magistrate frowned slightly when he saw them coming in, and after sitting down, he asked, "If you have anything to ask, just ask."
Yuan Man chuckled and asked, "I just want to know why you didn't sell that piece of land to me."
"As far as I know, that piece of land has been abandoned for many years. If I buy it, it will be equivalent to helping the court earn some income. The court is in urgent need of money right now. How can you refuse this income, my lord?"
The county magistrate's face changed when he heard this. He looked at her and said, "It's not that I don't want to sell it to you. The Northern Defense City garrison commander Liu has told me to keep the land. He will come to buy it when he has raised enough money."
He was just a small county magistrate and didn't have the strength to challenge the fifth-rank garrison commander.
Yuan Man raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "When did Liu Shoubei greet you, sir?"
The magistrate hesitated before answering, "Last March."
Yuan Man laughed, "Haha, last year was a year of severe famine in Anguo, and he, a garrison commander, actually had the mind to buy land, and such a large piece of land at that."
"I want to see what kind of people Gu Qin keeps who are so rich."
"Yuan Yi, go and invite General Gu over and tell him that his neighbor wants to see him."
"Yes." Yuan Yi agreed and walked out.
"This." The county magistrate panicked. This person actually called General Gu by his full name. Who is she?
Yuan Man looked at him and said, "Why are you panicking? It's not like you want to buy it."
Although it was not me who wanted to buy the land, I also promised it to Liu Shoubei. Now that you have called General Gu here, I will have something to worry about.
The county magistrate winked at the legal advisor.
When the master wanted to leave, a gaze was fixed on him and the master froze.
"Master, where do you want to go?" Yuan Man asked indifferently.
The master immediately shook his head, "I'm not going anywhere, I just sat for too long, so I got up and moved around."
"I don't know which family you are from. I have never seen you in Beifang City."
The county magistrate's eyes lit up at this question, but he was also secretly annoyed with himself because he didn't even know the other party's identity and let her lead him by the nose.
I don't know why, but I always feel that there is an aura about her that makes me subconsciously feel that she should not be provoked.
Yuan Man glanced at the master, frowned slightly and asked, "Why, the county government only serves young ladies?"
"I'm not some rich girl, so how can I not get things done?"
The master immediately shook his head, "No, no, I just thought that the person who could buy that piece of land must be no small figure, so I wanted to learn more."
"Moreover, the land of Anguo cannot be sold to people from other countries."
"So I want to know if you are from our Anguo. Please don't mind."
After hearing this, the county magistrate immediately looked at Yuan Man and asked with a vigilant look on his face: "Miss, you are not from Zhao or Yun, are you?"
There is a law in An State that people from other countries can buy real estate and shops in An State, but they cannot buy land or other properties.
"Oh, when General Gu comes, I will tell you which country I am from." Yuan Man said and glanced at his master.
Although Gu Qin didn't know where she was from, he definitely recognized the token on her body.
As soon as these words came out, the master was annoyed. How could he have forgotten that she had already sent someone to invite General Gu? If he was from another country, how could he ask General Gu to talk about this matter?
