Chapter 13: A New Civilian Identity
He also understands in his heart that this kind of post by Master Xiucai is really true, but there is also a big problem, that is, there are really so many clan relatives, an orphan girl, it is easy to be pinched in the hands of the clan relatives, and if you encounter bad luck, you will find a cage to drill by yourself when the time comes. In short, a group of partners in the guild hall think that some of the sets are placed here, Jiang Taigong fishes, and those who wish to take the bait! This is just personal luck, if people have the strength to see through this set of deposits, and then put down the sets, it will hurt their own morality.
"This can be done, but it can't be done for a while, and now there happen to be so many villages that can get in. The railroad priest lifted the curtain behind him and said to Xia Qing: "Guests, please come in!"
A lot of business still has to go into the inner hall to talk about it in detail, and this outside door is really a place to write letters for people or something, such as fake exchanges.
Xia Qing bowed her head and blessed him, followed him, and went into the teahouse.
Looking at the map spread out in front of me, there are notes on several places. This is the fake Taoist priest of Master Tie who told Xia Qing that he was able to enter a village on the outskirts of Beijing! Carefully recalling that when the original was in the world, the place where the summer palace was located could not be encircled, and it was really encircled to the boundary of the summer palace in the future, and there was no place to cry! On the map of the iron pen god, Xia Qing recognized it at a glance, not far from the summer palace in later generations, but it was not the boundary of the summer palace, and this village was not encircled. At the moment, I pointed to this horse racing village in the suburbs of Beijing. A large village that will be quite wealthy in the future.
"Can I want this village?"
"This is a good place, the village chief is a foreigner, and almost all the people in the village are fleeing the famine, so it is easier to settle down, but this female household must bring three acres of homestead, thirty acres of thin land, and ten acres of paddy fields?"
"Why do you want to bring land?" Xia Qing knew that the land rent in the past few years had not been light! Moreover, she could not grow crops, and the land was completely a burden! Whoever fell into the hands of the unlucky one was unlucky, that is, many small landlords were told that they had been tossed very lightly. There are not a few bankrupt families. Besides, even if you have space in your hand, you don't have the courage to go against the sky, only your own family has a bumper harvest, what's the matter? Besides, I have six out of seven tricks for farming, and I don't know anything about it.
"There is no way, the people in the village are too poor, many of them are fleeing from the famine, they have no land, and they don't have to plant, they all go to the city to work as coolies, and they have to wait until they earn money to find the village chief to buy land, and the village chief also has taxes to pay every year......
Xia Qing didn't know how much the rent of one mu of tenant land was, but I heard my grandfather say that if it weren't for the fact that the land in the Guogong Mansion was tax-free, I was afraid that the income would not be so good.
"Where is this homestead? Where are the paddy fields in the same place?"
"The homestead can be picked at will, and the paddy field is at the foot of the mountain!" The railroad priest casually drew a comparison at a land boundary: "The land is calculated according to the poor sandy land, ten taels per acre, but the field is fifteen or sixteen taels per acre! Homestead, when the time comes, look at the land boundary, at most five or six taels of silver!"
These people are really meticulous in their work, and there is really a field drawn with a red pen on it!
If you calculate it casually, it's four or five hundred taels of silver, no wonder it can't be sold!
"It's expensive!" No matter how white the silver of the space is, it can't be spent like this.
"The real price comes, the girl also understands, the price of the land near the suburbs of Beijing is so expensive, besides, although the land is calculated according to the sand, it is really good, and it is cheap. ”
"You've been there?"
"How dare you pack the ticket if you haven't seen it? I'll take you to see it when the time comes, and the serious ones will get the deed paper, and if you don't have this credibility, you can still do this?"
"Is there anything cheaper? without fields!
Xia Qing didn't want to waste money on this, although the land of this horse racing village was very valuable in the future, but these dozens of acres of land, within three years of buying, would definitely have to be subsidized and supplemented. In the next three years, it was needless to mention, drought, floods and earthquakes tossed this golden country to the point that it was too late, and he was just a fugitive slave, and it was too late to hide, and as a landlord, he had to show his face, which was a very unsafe thing...... If you buy land, let's talk about it in three years!
When Xia Qing entered, there were a few people looking at them, all of them were masters from various yamen in Beijing, and they were all fellow villagers from Shaoxing, the business was done together, and the people were also very accurate! Seeing that Xia Qing really wanted to do things sincerely, the only thing was that the price could not be negotiated, and they all understood in their hearts that the household post of this horse race village was originally a business that made a lot of money for the village chief, and the little girl was alone, and buying so much land was obviously an act of inviting disaster and causing trouble. Between people and people, it is really a fate, a few masters on the side listened to the conversation between Master Tie and Xia Qing, and couldn't help but wonder Wan'er, the little girl is so knowledgeable, don't want to show off her talents, and don't want this field, I can't help but look at her a few more times, people sometimes just want to meet their eyes, this person closed his eyes as soon as he saw Xia Qing, and couldn't help but come over, sit at the table, and said to Xia Qing, who was struggling.
"I have a way here, I can get a good book in the city" Hearing this, Xia Qing couldn't help but turn her head to look at the man who was dressed as a shopkeeper, with a light of hope in her eyes.
Xia Qing knew that good people were actually ordinary people, not in the countryside, nor in business, not in taxi, but also in modern households. It's not much better than a businessman, but of course it's much better than a slave or a lowly member. Xia Qing doesn't care, as long as it's not a slave, it's okay, it's okay to be a businessman, freedom is Xia Qing's bottom limit.
"How much?"
"This one costs fifty taels!" said the shopkeeper.
"It's really a blessing to the uncle, but I want to be in a hurry, little girl, how many days can I get it at the earliest?" Xia Qing looked at this person, full of hope.
"It depends on the girl's hands, the silver can keep up, then there is naturally no problem, and it will be done in one day tomorrow." ”
Money is not a problem, but time is a big problem. Will I be able to come out tomorrow? No matter what, the time is the same as that.
Xia Qing thought about it and asked, "Guarantee that it is a clean new household registration, and there are no messy relatives or anything?" This is the most critical point, the ancient clan, that is, the family, is really not the loose structure of the modern one, and it is really hard to exist, beyond the law and blood. This Xia Qing knows and is very afraid
"Ensure that the new household registration without roots and bottomlessness is not here, but it must be supported in the north......"
The man looked at Xia Qing's heavenly feet, and only Xia Qing could understand the meaning. Xia Qing's feet have restricted many good identities, this world, Xia Qing already knows, the daughters of the upper class families in the south are all small feet! And this popular trend has begun to sweep the country. Relatively speaking, the acceptance of small feet by the northern families is smaller, and Tianzu is still the mainstream.
"Okay, fifty taels is fifty taels! Thank you two gentlemen for making it happen!"
"What's the name?" Xia Qing was at a loss for a moment, and thought for a while: "Xia Qing"
Female men also have to sit and live without changing their surnames.
