Li Zheng's surname is Tang, and nearly seven of the people in this village are from the Tang family, and the remaining thirty percent are miscellaneous surnames from outside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tang Li was holding the household registration handed over by Meng Ge, squinting his sharp eyes for a long time, and turning it back several times inside and out before handing it back to Meng Ge.

Meng Ge's obedient hands took back the household registration, and he did not rush to put it back in his arms, but spread it on his lap.

"I know Qinshan County, which is a small county seat in Guizhou. Two years ago, there was a big drought there, and then it flooded again, and now there are still many places waterlogged. Tang Li was saying as he stared at the Meng Ge siblings. "It's not impossible for you to settle here, that is, the tax here is more than your Qinshan County. Mainly, there is a human tax here. The three of you are all male babies, so the tax will be more. If you buy land and build a house, and you register it in the yamen, you will have to pay a heavy tax. As for our village, if you have a place to live, you will have to pay a resettlement fee to the village. However, the money was in the public money. ”

Meng Ge weighed it and made eye contact with Yu Yang again. From the longing in the eyes of the two little ones, Meng Ge saw the word "willing" in their capital letters.

"Uncle Lizheng, if we want to buy all the land halfway up the mountain in the south and complete the formalities, how much silver will it cost?" Meng Ge thought for a moment and asked.

Tang Li was looking at the immature three little babies in front of him, a little surprised by their big appetite. In particular, when it came to the silver two, none of the three showed anything wrong.

Could it be ......

Tang Lizheng didn't think about it for the time being, but estimated the value of those lands in his heart, and only replied after the various expenses required to apply for the deed in the Yamen: "Although the above area looks good from a distance, there is not much land that can be planted. In addition, the road to the upper part is more difficult to walk, so the price of the upper land is not very expensive. That piece will cost thirty taels of silver. Add in the expenses required in the yamen and the public funds handed over to the village, and if you really buy the land and settle here, it will cost you about sixty taels. ”

Sixty taels, and there is no house to build. It's a lot of money. Or because it is in troubled times, otherwise it can be cheaper.

The cost of less than one hundred taels is still acceptable to Meng Ge. Even if she can't open any good land in the future, she can go into the mountains to hunt some prey, dig up some herbs and sell them in the town.

Seeing that Sanxiao listened to the offer, he didn't blink. The two small ones just looked at the big one with blank eyes, and the big one seemed to be thinking. Tang Lizheng couldn't sit still.

Whoever spends nearly a hundred taels to settle down in this troubled world, it is quite painful. These three babies are not pregnant with a lot of money, right?

Regardless of the fluctuations and speculations in Tanglizheng's heart, Meng Ge opened his mouth and asked again: "Uncle Lizheng, I don't know how much money it will cost to build a house like yours?"

Tang Li was looking at Meng Ge, who was obediently waiting for his answer, and shook the hands on his knees fiercely, and said: "The stones and yellow mud are all found in the mountains, and the village will also burn tiles by itself, and it will not cost too much to build a house like this, and it will only cost more than ten taels of silver." Even if you add the cost of inviting someone, it adds up to less than thirty taels. ”

In other words, it will cost about a hundred taels to settle here. Meng Ge had nearly five hundred taels on him, so it seemed that he didn't spend much silver.

Yu Yang first felt a pain in the silver he had just arrived, and then he was more yearning for his future life.

"Brother, let's stay. I look good here. Yu Yang said this too simply, which made Tang Li look sideways again.

Meng Ge glanced at Yu Yang, then smiled slightly and touched Meng Mao's little head and asked, "Does Xiao Maomao also like here, do you want to live here?"

Meng Ge's bright eyes flashed with pleasure, although he was still timid, he nodded his little head with great sincerity.

"Okay, then we'll stay here. Meng Ge finally made a decision.

"Uncle Lizheng, I don't know how the taxes are calculated for the newly bought wasteland, and how are these calculated?"

"Two years ago, wasteland could be tax-free for three years. But since the great drought in the south, the wasteland here is now tax-free in the year of the new purchase, and the following year it has to be taxed according to the land price of the middle land. The per capita tax is now 30 per man a year. As for the other taxes, they are the same as before, with no increase or decrease. Tang Lizheng was a little drumming in his heart, afraid that after hearing this, the three little babies would change their minds to settle down.

After all, it is not easy for people to come in and settle in the village. First of all, because it is far away from the town, it is not yet possible to drive and horses, and secondly, when it rains heavily, it is besieged by flash floods in six or seven times out of ten.

Besides, when you come to settle down, you have to pay public funds to the village, which is something that many people can't accept.

"How long will it take to build a house like this?" asked Mongo.

Tang Lizheng was a little unable to answer Meng Ge. Because their house has gone through three generations to become like this. Originally, there were no courtyard walls, and there were only three main houses, and the roof was still straw.

"This~ If you are in a hurry to move in, it is better to build a small thatched house first, it doesn't take much effort, it can be good in half a month. When you are settled, let the village bricklayer burn the tiles and build a good house. Tang Lizheng suggested.

"Can you burn bricks in the village?" thought Meng Ge, if he could really settle down, he would build a solid brick house.

At present, it is not bad to live in a small thatched house. If you can't live here, you won't feel much distressed if you give it up.

"Yes, the village bricklayer will burn bricks. "Tang Li is right.

Lizheng, who is over half a hundred years old, is a little agitated in his heart. Even if there were bricklayers in the village, there were no two houses in the village that could build brick houses.

Except for the two daughters in Nakamura who married and helped the family build brick houses, most of the houses in the village are rammed.

Meng Ge thought about it, and said to Tang Lizheng very sincerely: "Uncle Lizheng, then let's settle here." I don't know when we will go to the Yamen to apply for household registration and real estate deeds? We are now living in the Feisheng Inn, and we don't have a place to settle down yet. ”

Listening to Meng Ge's decision to settle down, Tang Lizheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as those children trusted him, he would be able to draw at least ten taels of silver from this trip.

"If you are really in a hurry, then I will go out of the mountain with you later to find Huang Bantou in the town, and ask him to send someone to measure that piece of land. After that, I opened a white deed, and we went into the county together to get the household registration and real estate deed. This trip will take about eight days. Tang Lizheng always kept his eyes on the three little babies.

As long as Meng Ge and them have any grievances or ideas, he can see them in time.

However, Mungo did not feel any dissatisfaction. She smiled very satisfactorily and said to Tang Lizheng: "Then trouble Uncle Lizheng." ”
