Chapter Ninety-Seven: Buying Land
Hearing that Xu said that it was a superior class, Liu Susu was relieved, although Xu was a woman, working in the field was not weaker than a man, since Xu said that it was a superior class, it would not be wrong.
"Mother, what about us?" Liu Susu whispered in Xu's ear.
"Wait. Go see how that piece is. Xu said in Liu Susu's ear. Xu Shi thought that this land would be good, but he didn't know how to use water, and it was obviously not practical for such a large piece of land to wait for God to rain.
"Shall we take a look at the thirty acres of land?" Xu Shi Dao.
Yayu nodded, "Okay." ”
The group took a carriage to the thirty acres of land in Huaihua Village.
Siyingzi Village in Huaihua Village is about a dozen miles away, and it will be there quickly because I went by horse-drawn carriage.
Yayu pointed to a large vacant land and said, "This is the thirty acres of land to be sold, and the son of this family is the master of the county, so that the old man of the family will sell the land and move to the county seat to live." ”
"And although this land is not of the highest grade, it is more than enough for the middle grade." Tooth Hunter continued.
Xu nodded, "This land is not bad, but I don't see any water sources near here, and when I came over the previous one, I saw a river less than half a mile away." ”
Yayu smiled: "Sister-in-law looked carefully, the water used in that piece of land is indeed better than this one." ”
As soon as Xu said this, Liu Susu knew in his heart that this land relied on water sources, and if there was no water source, no matter how much land there was, it would be in vain.
Liu Susu discussed with the Xu family to buy the land in Siyingzi Village. "Mother, why don't we settle down?"
Xu nodded, "It's okay to settle down?" But do we have that much silver? ”
"I got one hundred and eighty taels for the recipe for buying spicy cabbage, and today Uncle Zhang gave another one hundred taels in dividends. In addition, the family has at least three hundred taels of silver, and it is enough to buy the forty acres of land. Liu Susu said.
Xu didn't expect that in just a few days, there would be three hundred taels of silver at home, which was unimaginable before.
"Brother Song, let's set the land in our village." Xu Shi Dao.
Yayu nodded, "Okay, so are your silver ready?" The family wanted cash. ”
"Uncle Song, can you tell that family to have less silver? That's a lot. Liu Susu asked Song Wu with a grin.
That Yayu's original name was Song Wu, but he didn't say it before. I talked about it in the process of looking at the ground just now.
Since the land of Siyingzi Village has been determined, it is necessary to measure the size of the land.
Because of Zhao Jin's help, it is very simple to measure. Then check the actual results of the measurement with the one in Song Wu's booklet, and there is no difference between cuò and then ask someone to be the middleman, and of course the middleman is Zhang Wei.
Liu Susu can trust Zhang Wei, and he is most familiar with Zhang Wei. This middleman is Zhang Wei is the most suitable.
Liu Susu took Li Ye's handwritten letter to the silver shop to exchange the silver and came back, plus the one hundred taels given by Zhang Wei before. It is two hundred and eighty taels of silver, and the land is forty acres, and the total is two hundred and sixty taels of silver.
I also had to write the paperwork for the sale, which was also written by Zhang Wei.
"Zhao Quan, the person who wrote the deed to buy and sell the land, is now unable to cultivate because of the relocation to the county, and now the ancestral land is located in Siyingzi Village, north to the surrounding field, south to the west bridge, east to the lotus seed pond, west to the bridge door hole. A total of 40 acres of land, willing to sell to ......" Zhang Wei wrote here, and he didn't know how to write.
Liu Susu said, "Liu Tiandong." ”
"Susu, your name should be written in this place, Brother Dong is still young, and besides, you earned all the money." Xu said.
The name of the buyer and seller was not decided, and it was frozen for a while.
"Mother, our family must have bought such land more than once, this time write Brother Dong'er's first, and everyone in our family can have their own land in the future." That's what Liu Susu had in mind.
"But Brother Dong is still young after all." Xu was still a little hesitant.
"Mother, Brother Dong will grow up in a few years, and Brother Dong is the only male in our family. Sooner or later, these things will be his. Liu Susu said.
This can be regarded as convincing the Xu family, but in the end, it was decided that although the name was written Liu Tiandong, the title deed was collected by the Xu family.
Although the others were a little surprised that Liu Susu wanted to write the name of the title deed in the name of a child under the age of seven, this was Liu Susu's own decision, and of course they would not interfere too much.
"Willing to sell and Liu Tiandong under the name of farming, now pay no debt, in addition to the painting and silver two wine and food, its land, the silver Liu surname face to hand over the payment, do not do the Zhao surname things, if the relatives of the surname Zhao and other words dispute, Zhao Quan on the one hand, I am afraid that there is no certificate to buy and sell the land contract forever.
"On a certain day in a certain year, a certain month, Zhao Quan, the actual land seller, Zhao Moumou, a fellow clansman, Zhao Moumou, a fellow brother, Song Mou, and a scrivener Zhang Wei."
After setting up the contract, Liu Susu took out two hundred and forty taels of silver and handed them over to everyone for inspection. After checking that it was correct, it was overweighed, because of Song Wu's peace, Zhao Quan took the initiative to lose five taels of silver.
These five taels of silver were used for the deed tax and Song Wu's hard-earned money, plus the official exchange of the deed, Liu Susu gave Song Wu another five taels of silver. It is folded into a total of ten taels of silver. A total of two hundred and sixty-five taels of silver were spent.
After taking care of the affairs of the fields, Liu Susu asked Zhang Wei to prepare a few tables of meals and invite everyone to eat and drink.
Liu Susu also told the Xu family about Siyingzi Village to inform the rest of the Liu family that they had bought land for this house.
Of course, the Jiang family was surprised, but he was also happy for the people in the second room from the bottom of his heart. However, the Zhang family didn't think so, and it didn't take long for the people in the second room to buy land with money. Could it be that there is some way to make a fortune and I don't want to tell everyone, so I want to share it so that I can keep it for myself? I have to say that Zhang still guessed a few points. However, if it weren't for the Zhang family's room to do things too much, Liu Susu would not have been in such a hurry to divide it.
In this way, in addition to the Liu family, Wang Chunhua, Li Qiumei, who has helped make spicy cabbage in the Liu family in the past few days, and another person introduced by Wang Chunhua, plus Shen Mu, has more than three tables.
Because there were no men in the second room, the Xu family was accompanied by the Jiang family, Zhao Jin, Zhao Quan, Zhang Wei, Shen Mu and several other rooms to sit at a table.
The rest of the children have a table, and the women have a table.
Although it was a happy event, Liu Susu still greeted Zhang Wei in advance, and he couldn't disclose his business with him to the rest of the Liu family.
With Liu Susu's reminder, Zhang Wei knew what to expect. During the banquet, the Zhang family inquired several times about how the money to buy the land came from, but Liu Susu didn't mention it, and the Zhang family had no choice but to give up.
But even if he didn't mention the money for buying land, the Zhang family couldn't help but sour the Xu family, and said that his daughter Liu Yuaner was about to marry the Wang family, and his eldest son was going to take the Xiucai exam.
However, because of Shen Mu's relationship, everyone was not interested in what Zhang said at all. toasted Shen Mu vigorously, making Zhang's shamelessness.
[It's not that the ancients didn't know how they bought land, so let's make do with it, by the way, the editor said that my article will be on the shelves next month, and I don't know if anyone will read it by then, and I'm still a little excited, but today I'm unemployed, and I'm very sad! 】
