Chapter 38 Home Purchase
"My father, my father was injured" Little Apple's words made Chang Yu's face change immediately, and he immediately thought that he was being found by those two little monkeys?
"What the hell is going on?" Chang Yu clenched his fists, he was ready to make a big fuss.
But he didn't want to have another reason for the incident, he finally understood in the sobbing of Little Apple, it turned out that after saying goodbye to Chang Yu that day, Su Chenghuang's family of three followed Chang Yu's instructions, stayed away from Nancheng, and went to a small inn near Chaoyang Gate to find a temporary shelter.
If An Sheng stayed for three days, he would be fine, but Su Chenghuang was an idle person, thinking that this place was far away from Nancheng, and it was not so coincidental that he was touched by two monkeys, and he was idle anyway, so he went to Chaoyangmen to go out of the stall.
It's just that the monkey didn't get into trouble and got into other troubles, this time it wasn't because of the little beauty apple, but it was asked by the ruffians to pay protection money, but Su Chenghuang, who hadn't earned a penny yet, had to beg a few ruffians to pay the protection money.
The ruffian just recognized the money, and wanted to scare Su Chenghuang, but he accidentally killed a monkey, this is Su Chenghuang's heart, he rushed over to fight impulse, and then broke a leg, and now he is lying in the inn and resigned to fate.
There is no Wang Fa yet, after listening to it, Chang Yu was furious, and then exhaled a few long breaths, slowly calming down his anger, Wang Fa, where did Wang Fa come from this year!
"Do you know where those ruffians come from?"
Little Apple shook his head, and suddenly said, "At that time, I heard enthusiastic people say that they are some of Fang Baye's people, let us hide away, we can't afford to provoke them."
It seems that it is not an ordinary street gangster, this is obviously a member of the Black Society, all walks of life have their own small groups in these years, the businessman is called the Chamber of Commerce, and the coolie is not called this gang, it is called that faction, the three religions and nine streams are like this, and the capital is even more mixed.
Thinking of this, Chang Yu couldn't help but look out of the door, and the two ruffians he had knocked down just now had disappeared.
"How is Uncle Su's injuries, have you ever sought medical attention?"
"I've seen a doctor, got on a splint, and lay down in the inn to recuperate," Little Apple sobbed with her head down.
At this moment, Tang Potian had already come back in a hurry, and just saw the appearance of the little apple pear blossom with rain, and immediately glared at Chang Yu.
"Look at Mao, your old Yue...... Ahem, Uncle Su was beaten, do you see me doing the ball? Chang Yu rolled his eyes angrily.
"Who the hell is so bold," Tang Potian was furious.
Fang Baye? After listening to Chang Yu's simple narration, Tang Potian was much quieter, and there was a sad look on his brows.
"How? Hard stubble or big shots? Chang Yu asked.
"It's not a big person, but it's a ruthless character, there are some famous people in the Dongcheng area, entrenched in Chaoyangmen to make a living from pornography and poison, I heard that the backer behind him is a certain noble" The three sects and nine streams of the capital are almost clear.
Chang Yu sneered: "Do you dare to ......?"
"Hey, you're waiting too long" At this moment, Ya Po walked in with a gust of wind, and while greeting Chang Yu, she unceremoniously sat down and took refreshments and ate.
Chang Yu frowned slightly: "Have you done the things you explained?" ”
"That's natural, my grandmother-in-law is doing things with golden signs......" Ya Po couldn't help but play tricks again, until she saw Chang Yu's cold eyes and quickly stopped,
"Two sets of houses have been found, the Nanshuiguan Hutong near Guangqu Gate in the city, and the Panjia kiln in the ten miles outside Guangqu Gate outside the city, the owner has made an appointment, and the nobles will go with them."
Naturally, he wanted to go, Chang Yu got up and asked Xiao Apple to leave the address and go back to the inn first, and then visit him after he was done, and took ten taels of silver to her, thinking that the five taels of silver he gave before should have been almost spent, although Xiao Apple repeatedly refused, in the end he still couldn't survive Chang Yu's firm eyes.
Light snow had begun to fall in the sky, Chang Yu stood at the door of the teahouse and watched the little apple, and suddenly said: "Brother Tang, you go and send the little apple" He was worried that a little girl was not safe with a lot of money, of course, it was also to support Tang Potian.
"Wait for me in this teahouse when I come back......"
"Okay" Before Chang Yu finished speaking, Tang Potian rushed out of the teahouse and disappeared into the snow-dancing street, with such a speed that is rare in the world.
Scolded the one next door! Chang Yu scolded secretly, looked up at the sky and glanced at Ya Po again: "Maybe hire a carriage?" ”
"I have it at home"
Ya Po beckoned, and the eldest son of his family immediately stood in front of Chang Yu and smiled innocently: "Two taels of silver, you can go anywhere"
Bao Tian Ertael, this Nima is darker than the black car, Chang Yu really wants to give this stupid big punch, but look at the weather and shrink his neck, yes, two or two will be two or two, he will not be familiar with the place for a while and will not be able to find the car dealership.
Come on, as soon as I heard Chang Yu's response, I went out with a stupid big heart
"He's going to catch a car, and the store is closed?"
"In this weather, I can earn a few dollars by opening the door" Ya Po smiled: "Let my old man come to see it later."
The stupid big man is not only good at making tea and driving the car, fast and steady, Chang Yu sat in the car and closed his eyes to recuperate, and Ya Po stared at him with a pair of big eyes.
"What do I want you to recruit?" Chang Yu didn't raise his eyelids.
"I've found it, I've been busy with your business these days, is it enough for my wife to find more than 20 for you?" Grandma Sun was in high spirits and looked forward to Xiao Honghua praising her.
"Not enough, too little, keep looking, you must sign the deed of sale" Chang Yu said lightly, closing his eyes and saying no more.
Guangqumen South Water Pass Hutong, because there is a water pass leading to the moat outside the city below the north end of the Hutong, so it is named Nanbei Water Pass, which is close to the city gate of Guangqu Gate, and the residents mostly make a living from silk spinning, which belongs to the slum area.
The yard belongs to the second entrance, it is dilapidated, and it belongs to the descendants of a certain dilapidated household, Chang Yu entered and decided to buy it after a quick glance, and the grandmother immediately beckoned the owner to sign the contract together.
In addition to signing an agreement, you have to go to the yamen to transfer the ownership, and you have to pay taxes, and the taxes are not low, especially in the late Ming Dynasty, the imperial court urgently needs to prepare military salaries to increase various taxes, and the real estate tax is as high as three percent.
And in addition to collecting deed tax, there are also other messy miscellaneous fees, such as when you buy a house, you have to sign a contract, and the contract also collects money, which is called "deed paper money"; When you transfer the house, the staff stamps you and collects money for the stamp, which is called "Zhu Mo Tou Qian"; These miscellaneous expenses add up to a much higher deed tax and invisibly increase the burden on home buyers.
Chang Yu belongs to the palace, and belongs to the black household outside, and it is extremely cumbersome to go to the yamen to transfer the house, so he naturally will not go, at this time, the role of the intermediary of the Ya Po will be revealed, and she will help you with everything for the transfer, tax payment and other miscellaneous chores.
paid twenty taels of silver, took the deed, and left, driving non-stop towards the outside of the city, along the way the smile of the grandmother did not stop, doing this line for so many years, Chang Yu is not the most generous, but definitely the least picky, at a glance, it is decided, not picky at all.
"Nobleman, do you need the old woman to find someone to clean up the house for you?"
Chang Yu nodded: "You don't need to hire another person, didn't you help me buy more than 20 people, go back and let them go over and clean it up, buy some materials to repair it, and live in it."
Ya Po said yes, and then said, "What about this money?" ”
"More than 20 people, you spent a lot of money to buy it?" Chang Yu asked.
"More than two hundred taels of silver, but for the sake of the nobles being so refreshing, the old woman gives a discount, how about you give two hundred taels for the whole number?" The old woman looked serious.
Chang Yu sighed long in his heart, a person is young and strong but only ten taels of silver, plus the income of this tooth woman, maybe one person can't fit ten taels or even five or six taels, to say that human life is not worth much in these years, of course, he also knows that these people are not clear, and he doesn't want to investigate whether he was abducted by the pit, and there is no need to investigate, raise these people to give them a bite to eat and starve to death, just work hard for him in the future.
"I didn't bring so much silver out, I will send it to your teahouse tomorrow, and the main thing today is to buy a house," Chang Yu said.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry" The old woman is happy to bloom, it is too refreshing to do business with such a customer, she has been busy for three days, using so many peer relationships, and it is actually hard to find a house and buy a head, but compared to the hard work of earning dozens of taels of silver, it is not worth mentioning.
Out of the city, there is a village in the east of Guangqu Gate is to come to the land, called Panjia kiln, there are many brick kilns here, the largest family is surnamed Pan, belongs to the brick-burning family, the village is famous for this.
That's right, this place is the world-famous Taobao village Panjiayuan, but at this time it is just a dilapidated village that burns bricks.
The village was not large, and it was all dilapidated, but Chang Yu swept the surrounding wilderness of the pits of different sizes and depths dug by burning bricks, and instead showed a smile, he was extremely satisfied. He even admired his grandmother for finding him such a satisfactory place.
The so-called house, in fact, is a brick kiln is more appropriate, three dilapidated houses in the huge courtyard can be seen in the sky, an abandoned brick kiln.
"Noble, is it okay?" Grandma Sun also plays a little drum, but almost all the houses outside the city are like this, and ordinary people don't have extra houses to sell.
It's perfect, Chang Yu really wanted to give her a big thumbs up, but he was afraid that she would be proud, so he just nodded slightly: "It's okay, it just so happens that I still want to learn how to burn a kiln."
"Hey, that's good, that's good, this house is cheap, as long as this number" Grandma stretched out her right hand and flipped it twice, meaning ten taels of silver.
The set of two courtyards in the city, there are main houses and partial houses are only twenty taels, this tattered to ten taels is not too dark, not at all, because the value of this house is not in the house, but in the land, at least two acres of land.
Sign the contract, pay the money, and toss it well, it is already noon, Chang Yu feels that his stomach is calling for food, but this kind of poor village doesn't even have a restaurant, so he has to urge the stupid big man to speed up the car, but the snow is getting bigger and bigger, and he can't go fast if he wants to.
By the time the car entered the city, the goose feather snow had already fallen, so the stupid big man bought a few baked cakes to cushion his stomach and spent nearly half an hour returning to the teahouse.
As soon as he entered the teahouse, Chang Yu felt that the atmosphere was wrong, Tang Potian's black face could be described as black and blue at the moment.
