Chapter 45 Ancient Title Deeds

A title deed is a legal document entered into between two parties when mortgaging and buying or selling land.

It contains the amount of land, the place where it is located, the boundary of the four solstices, the price, and the conditions for pawning and buying, etc., which shall be signed and sealed by both parties and the witnesses.

"This is a red deed, and today, it naturally has no legal effect. Hu Yang said.

The land deed before paying taxes to the government is called "white deed", and after the deed is verified by the government and the tax is paid, it is called "red deed". Only the "red deed" has the force of law.

The title deed in front of me is in good condition, the handwriting is clear, and the title deed has a detailed description of the time, place, parties, witnesses, and owners, and the seller's letter, including the land area, location, four to, land price, transfer conditions, and the signatures and seals of both parties, relatives, neighbors, Chinese people and official teeth.

It can be said that this is a very complete title deed. The font on it is pleasing to the eye.

According to Hu Yang's knowledge, the Qing Dynasty land deeds generally took the form of "civil writing and official inspection", that is, the buyer and seller first negotiated on their own, wrote the land deed for buying and selling short, and then the government checked it.

There are generally two ways to check, one is the "official inspection deed" implemented in the early Qing Dynasty, which is the kind we see now.

The other is the method of sticking the deed tail implemented in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, that is, the deed tail is uniformly printed and numbered by the political secretary, and it is glued after the land deed is written by the people, as the official deed verification certificate.

"There is the seal of the government in the early Qing Dynasty, and I see that this paper should also be an object at that time. ”

Hearing Brother Hu's words, whether it was Andy, He Wenqing, and Tang You, or the audience in the two live broadcast rooms, they were all slightly startled, and a thought came to their minds.

"Brother Hu, don't tell us, this title deed is also an antique, right?"

Not disappointing them, Hu Yang nodded: "It is indeed an antique, and it is quite valuable." ”

Seeing the smile on Brother Hu's face, everyone knew that this title deed was not low. Although it has no legal effect and cannot get the land, I am afraid that its value will exceed everyone's expectations.

Hu Yang told everyone: "In the current collectibles market, there is a popular section called Rare Treasures, and the collectors in this section are not mainstream ceramics, calligraphy and paintings, jade and jade, etc., but similar to ancient receipts, title deeds, auxiliary heads, ancient furniture, chicken treasures, ambergris and so on.

Of course, there are also people who call it miscellaneous.

In addition to the title deed, food stamps, silver stamps, etc., are all objects of collection. Everyone must be familiar with food stamps, and some time ago there was a big news, and a rare food stamp was auctioned for millions of sky-high prices. ”

After hearing this, everyone's eyelids jumped, don't tell us, this title deed is also worth millions, right?

"Then how much is it worth?" Tang You felt his heart jump out.

The audience in the live broadcast room also quieted down instantly, and the speech on the public screen immediately stopped, as if it was frozen.

Ten years ago, Christie's Hong Kong launched a tax receipt for the 17th year of the Republic of China at the special auction of rare treasures in Hong Kong, which was sold for 3.75 million yuan, which shocked the audience, thus setting off a wave of ancient bills. ”

Nima!

Everyone's eyes widened, nearly four million were shot ten years ago?

"This thing is worth millions?"

Hu Yang shook his head speechlessly: "I didn't say it's worth that much?"

As I said before, the value of an antique is often determined by its rarity.

At present, the market can still occasionally be seen in the Ming Dynasty, and earlier can only be seen in museums. The title deed of the Ming Dynasty is also a popular collection among major collectors, and the ordinary market price ranges from a few hundred to ten thousand.

The value and price of title deeds in the Qing Dynasty varied significantly in different periods.

For example, in the early Shunzhi, Kangxi, and Yongzheng dynasties, the price was already expensive, and the ordinary official deeds were more than 1,000 yuan. Even Shunzhi's white deed is hundreds.

Since Qianlong, the number of surviving land deeds has increased significantly. In particular, there are many official deeds of Qianlong represented by Shanxi, which generally range from a few tens of yuan to more than 100 yuan.

These prices mentioned above are ordinary.

It's normal for something to be truly precious, no matter what age it is, to have millions. ”

He glanced at the title deed again, especially the handwriting of one of the people on it, the calligraphy was very high, and it was almost up to the level of a master calligrapher.

"The reason why people are keen to collect this kind of receipt, 'certificate', is because it is a work of art in itself. For example, the font above is a rare calligraphy work. Hu Yang continued.

What he really likes is the calligraphy of this title deed, which is the essence.

The audience in the live broadcast room was anxious, asking one by one how much the title deed was worth.

"More than 300,000 yuan! I can't say for sure. ”

Everyone is absolutely down, is this different from picking up hundreds of thousands on the road? It's just a big luck!

Of course, everyone also knows that without Brother Hu's strength, even if he rolls to his feet, he will kick away or even ignore it.

"If you have this kind of title deed, house deed or the like at home, even if it has no legal effect, don't throw it away.

Even if it is yellowed or even damaged, as long as there is clear calligraphy on the title deed, it has a certain collection value. In particular, this kind of land deed, which belongs to the ancestral heritage, has a great collection value. Populus reminds everyone.

"Understood, call now and ask the family if there is anything like this preserved. ”

"I don't have it at home, pathetic!"

"I didn't expect that!"

"There is no title deed, but I remember that my grandmother seems to have turned out food stamps and silver stamps, and I don't know if I threw them away. ”

"Tsk, there are silver tickets, it seems that your family used to be quite wealthy!" After all, ordinary people don't need silver tickets at all, just like the current checks, ordinary people don't need to get that thing at all.

......

Populus euphratica carefully folded the title deed and put it away, which was an unexpected surprise.

Seeing the speech on the public screen in the live broadcast room, he couldn't help but say a few more words: "Food stamps are a special product, because there are a lot of leftovers, so they are usually waste paper and worthless." Only those with a small circulation are collectible.

In the case of a silver ticket, it is a printed product, so its artistic value will be slightly worse. A rare silver ticket of the Qing Dynasty, or treasure banknotes, ranged from 100,000 to 300,000.

The brother just now said that he has it at home, so he might as well take it for identification, or maybe take a picture and put it in our fan base, and I will take a look at it when I have time. ”

This time, Andy, He Wenqing and Tang You all cheered up, after all, they might pick up hundreds of thousands on the roadside.

"It's the grandma. Andy suddenly pointed ahead.

When they looked over, they saw the grandmother who had been selling fruit before, and they had returned to the village.

He Wenqing suddenly proposed: "Why don't you go to her house and have a look?"
