Chapter 60: The mountain loop turns into the pit

"My lord, in the past two years, because of the drought, it has been difficult to collect taxes in Huali Town, right?" Guoguo suddenly changed the subject. ~with~dream~small~say~ั‰ww~mะตng~lฤ

The son-in-law didn't even reply, and directly gave a nasal hum, and he was already a little unhappy in his heart.

"What if I buy Daqingshan and can guarantee that this 1,000 acres of cultivated land will start paying taxes this year? We all know that there is no tax for the first three years of the wasteland. โ€

"This kind of land, even if you pay taxes, is not much." The son-in-law laughed, "Oh, I'm stupid too, you're still a child, I'm messing around with you." โ€

"My lord, in previous years, if the harvest was not bad, how much was the tax per mu of cultivated land?"

"Ten taxes for good land, one for fifteen taxes for poor land. In previous years, the yield per mu of fertile land was four stones, and the tax was four buckets, and the yield per mu of poor land was two stones, and the tax was one and a half buckets. Daqingshan can be calculated according to poor land, 2,000 acres and 100 acres of poor land, that is, 3,750 buckets of tax. The master immediately made an abacus next to him, the beads flickered, and he quickly came to a conclusion.

"Eh, how many catties is these three thousand seven hundred and fifty buckets?" Guoguo asked modestly.

The master smiled maliciously while counting it: "Ten liters is one bucket, one liter is one catty and two taels, and these three thousand seven hundred and fifty buckets are four thousand five hundred catties." โ€

"It's a perennial standard, isn't it? If it's a disaster year, taxes will be lower, right? But what if I can guarantee to pay taxes at this rate for three years? How much is three years? โ€

"Three years is 13,500 catties." Master quickly figured it out this time.

"How much is it worth?" Guoguo asked again.

"Ten pennies for a pound of grain, and thirteen thousand five hundred catties is one hundred and thirty-five taels." The more the master calculated, the more excited he became.

"My lord, you have also heard, if you sell Daqingshan to us, you will be able to increase your income by one hundred and thirty-five taels in the past three years, and if you don't sell or sell it to others, without this tax, you will lose one hundred and thirty-five taels of income." When Guoguo heard the last number, her heart was at ease.

"Aren't you too expensive now?"

"My lord, I know that two hundred and fifty taels is not expensive, but for our current situation, you also know that this disaster year has just come and there is a fire, and it is a little difficult to take out two hundred and fifty taels at once. Do you think that's okay? We made a note and paid fifty taels first, and the remaining two hundred taels at the end of the year. At the same time, we will ensure that in the past three years, regardless of the disaster year, the 1,000 acres of poor land will be taxed at this price, if you can't do it, then you have the right to reclaim this Daqingshan and resell it, at that time, Daqingshan has been reclaimed by us, if you sell it again, it is the price of general cultivated land, not the price of wasteland. โ€

"It's only fifty taels?" The son-in-law's expression was already very contemptuous, "Even if the taxes are normal for three years, it is only more than a hundred taels." โ€

"As far as I know, in the disaster year last year, the whole town received 3,000 catties of grain, and in the end it was not enough to distribute. My lord, mosquito meat is also meat. Besides, the town has the ability to buy Daqingshan, the Liang family and the Yuan family, and these two families have Xiucai sitting in the town and don't have to pay taxes, so let alone more than 100 taels in the past three years, even more 3 years in the future, more 100 taels, and the court can't get it. Guoguo was thinking quickly in his heart, but his mouth was calm.

At this time, Wang Hailong, who had been standing next to him, stepped forward: "My lord, Guoguo is very reasonable. If the Fang family buys Daqingshan, it solves the problem that the villagers of Rongshu Village have no land to plant, and alleviates the conflict with the Liang family, which is harmless. Our Wang family is willing to vouch for the Fang family. โ€

"If the Fang family can't complete the terms on the note, your Wang family's Tongren Medical Center will also be returned to the imperial court?" The son-in-law glanced at Wang Hailong and smiled, "Then let's decide, sign and draw, pay fifty taels first, pay the remaining two hundred taels at the end of the year, and pay taxes normally within three years. โ€

"Your Excellency!" Wang Hailong and Guoguo said in unison. But who only raised his hand in law: "Don't say anything, I'm here today, and I'm already very face-saving for Zeqi." Give you an hour to discuss, after this hour, it is difficult to decide who this Daqingshan will sell to. Oh, by the way, if you can get two hundred and fifty taels, you still have to give Urushi's face. After the son-in-law finished speaking, he beckoned everyone to go back, not giving Guoguo a chance to refute at all. Rizheng also went back.

The sharp turn of the matter made Guoguo feel depressed, and he wanted to empty the white wolf, but he was bitten by the wolf. Wang Hailong's heart is not good, the location of the Tongren Medical Center is good, and it is not a day or two to be remembered, but now he is being watched by people so grandly, which is really angry in his heart.

"Okay, Guoguo, I'll go back and discuss it with my father. You are not to blame for this. Seeing Guoguo frowning and smiling, Wang Hailong patted her shoulder and chuckled: "You, you really have a big heart." If it weren't for my father's words, no matter what conditions you put forward, try to meet them, I would have stopped you just now. โ€

"Senior brother, if I buy it, I can still pay this tax, but I have to use the medical hall as a mortgage, and I don't want to go." Guoguo sighed, "Senior brother, I'll discuss something with you, Qingshu will send you back to my house to sit down, and when Laixi comes back, I'll go with you to see Master, okay?" โ€

"Well, let's go." Wang Hailong knew that Guoguo must have a lot of ideas, but Qingshu was reluctant to go, "Guoguo, your feet?" โ€

"I'm fine, everybody's here." Guoguo said and found a clean place and sat down, "Oh, I finally don't have to pretend to be a lady when the adults are gone." โ€

The originally depressed atmosphere was so troubled by Guoguo, and it became relaxed again. Grandpa Da Zhuang didn't say much from beginning to end, and he also said to Qingshu: "You go back and bring a pot of water, I'm also thirsty." He sat down as he spoke.

Wang Hailong smiled and beckoned Qingshu to walk back.

Guoguo folded the branch, wrote a one on the ground, and then asked Grandpa Da Zhuang: "Grandpa, if I buy Daqingshan today, can you help me find fifteen laborers in the village to help me work?" Sign a long-term contract, 400 yuan per month. โ€

"You still have money to pay?" The little old man glanced at his eyes, "Don't be big-hearted." โ€

"I promise not to be in arrears." Guoguo looked at Grandpa Da Zhuang seriously, looked around for a while before whispering, "Grandpa, I know I'm still young, you may not believe it." But you forgot what I told you about sweet potatoes, that thing can really yield thousands of catties per mu when it is planted, so if we can really buy Daqingshan, even if we have paid taxes for the past three years, we still don't lose at all. โ€

"Is there a time limit for work? You know, everybody has a piece of land to plant. Grandpa Da Zhuang took a puff of his cigarette.

"It depends, but it's five hours a day." If you buy it and give it to someone else to plant, it is not realistic, and it will be better to manage it yourself.

"Just five hours?" Grandpa Da Zhuang was a little surprised, "So you don't lose money?" โ€
