August 26th of the lunar calendar is the second day when Ah Long and they came to Lin'an City, Qiantang County, this morning, after breakfast, Lord Qian Jinsheng drove two big carriages, to the gate of Qinglong Mansion, he passed the doorman to report, Hu Gu, Ah Long, Ah Mao, Chengbang, Jinhua, Jinlan and other Qinglong Mansion gates to greet them.

"Qian Daguan! I'm Aaron's old aunt! Everyone calls me Tiger Aunt! I know you're going to take Aaron to real estate and land! Qian Daguan, if you don't dislike it, go to our Qinglong Mansion to drink tea first, and then you can leave! ”

Hu Gu is wearing a pink silk embroidered short shirt and long skirt, tied with a neat ponytail, wearing a pair of embroidered fabric practice shoes, Hu Gu is more than 1.7 meters tall, well-proportioned, melon seed face, white and red, people who have seen the world know at a glance that Hu Gu is a heroine among women! It's a strong woman who dares to act!

"Oh! Your dragon family is not simple! Tiger Girl! It is a great honor to meet you today! Like you, I'm from an ordinary grass dweller's background! In the future, don't call me a big official! My name is Qian Jinsheng, anyway, I'm definitely older than all of you! You all call me Brother Sheng! In fact, the people of the entire Lin'an City call me that! Today, I'm going to take Aaron to see a few places! Therefore, we will talk about the matter of drinking tea at the house later! After this business is completed, we are frequent business partners! At that time, we had more opportunities to drink tea! ”

Then, Qian Jinsheng introduced his two assistants to Hugu and Ah Long and others.

One of his assistants is a man about twenty years old, his name is Qian Yilai, he is Qian Jinsheng's nephew, he is about one meter seven tall, he is physically strong, and he must also be a good man who knows martial arts!

An eighteen-year-old man, his name is Qian Yishui, he is Qian Yilai's own brother, he is as tall as his brother, as strong, and he is also a local strong dragon!

Hu Gu also introduced Ah Long, Long Jinhua, Long Jinlan and others to Qian Jinsheng.

After everyone talked and introduced each other, Aaron and their carriage were also brought out.

So, everyone got into the carriage, and Ah Long and their carriage followed Qian Jinsheng's two carriages away!

Throughout the morning, Ah Long and the others followed Qian Jinsheng to see two properties located in the west of Lin'an City.

The two properties are located in the most prosperous area in the west of Lin'an City, they are south of the West Lake, surrounded by commercial streets, money villages, private schools, academies, and various offices of the government yamen, etc., which are directly south of the West Gate Wharf and more than five miles away from Qinglong Mansion.

Both properties are on the same street, this street is called General Street, and this road is called General Road!

The two properties are less than a mile apart, covering an area of 500 acres, the property was originally the marshal mansion of the general of the Lin'an army, after Wu Yueguo returned to the Great Song Dynasty, the Lin'an army was revoked, therefore, this marshal mansion became the private property of the Qian family, in the past, the Qian family rented it to the rich people who did business in Lin'an City, and now it is vacant.

Another 250-acre property, the situation is not much like the general's marshal's mansion, and it used to be the residence of the senior generals of the Lin'an Army and their families.

Now, because the wealthy people who rent these properties to live in have made a fortune in business in recent years, they have all bought their own land to build their own houses, so these two properties are vacant!

These two properties are built in the form of a courtyard house with brick and wood structures, which are equipped with housing, living room, study, meeting room, kitchen, canteen, warehouse, stable, garden and other functional places for living, working, leisure and entertainment, which is indeed very suitable for large families!

Both properties have just been renovated and renovated, so they both look like new!

Aaron is satisfied with the environment, property quality, and layout of the two properties.

Because they are in the prosperous area of Lin'an City, and Boss Qian gave him an offer of 200,000 taels of silver and 100,000 taels of silver respectively, which is really too cheap compared to the housing prices in Xianyuan City!

Mr. Qian said his home was also on Jiangjun Road, not too far from the two houses.

At noon, Qian Jinsheng invited everyone to eat and chat at the restaurant where he often eats.

"Aaron! We Lin'an soldiers used to be locals who farmed and did business! The world is in turmoil, and all localities are in their own ways, and our Qian family is trying to protect the land, life, and life! The ancestors picked up their knives and guns to compete with the bullies for the world! From Lin'an County in the west of here, hit here, because of the north-south Grand Canal here, you can also go to sea! Therefore, the base camp of the Lin'an Army is located here! This was originally just a small fishing village on the edge of the Qiantang River in Qiantang County! Alas, after more than 100 years of development, no one thought that it would become the largest city in the Liangjiang region south of the Yangtze River, and now, the population of Lin'an City has reached more than 200,000! Although, our Lin'an army has already returned to the imperial court! However, the big and small things in Lin'an City are still taken care of by our descendants of the Lin'an Army! The locals here have all been wealthy, so they are not only comfortable but also lazy! Now, the bosses and workers who do business, run industries, traffick, farm, fish, go to sea, etc., inside and outside Lin'an City, are all foreigners like you! After lunch, I will take you to the farmland and wharf land outside the south gate of the city, after you have seen these places, you will have a clear understanding of the situation inside and outside the city of Lin'an! Tomorrow, we will go to the West Gate, on the edge of the West Lake, to see the mountains and forests! In this way, you have read all the assets involved in this transaction! The day after tomorrow, let's take a day off! The day after tomorrow, we began to negotiate the terms of the contract for this sale, and then, we began to handle the cash payment, asset transfer and other procedures for this transaction! After doing these things, we will be fellow villagers in Lin'an City! ”

Qian Jinsheng looked at Ah Long and smiled, Ah Long kept nodding at him when he spoke!

"Brother Sheng! We can meet you in Lin'an City and call you brothers! We feel so honored! Our ancestors were all foreigners who fled from the north to the south of the Yangtze River! Now, we've become southerners! When we finish this transaction and settle down in Lin'an City, we will definitely visit you at your house! At that time, we will be truly good brothers! ”

Qian Jinsheng took Ah Long's words and said with a smile: "Ah Long! Although we are southerners, we also like to be bold and crisp! Come! The meals are ready, let's eat! Let's go to work! ”

Everyone laughed!

.....

After lunch, after resting for a while, they followed Master Qian Jinsheng out of the south gate of Lin'an City, and after crossing the moat, soon their three carriages came to a small village near the city.

After stopping the carriage in the courtyard of the village office, they prepared to go to the surrounding area of the village to inspect the 5,000 acres of paddy fields that would be used for trading.

Qian Jinsheng said: "Ah Long! In the era of the Lin'an Army, the paddy fields here were all public fields, and after the disbandment of the Lin'an Army, these public fields became the private property of our Qian family! There are three or four thousand people in this village! They are all hired farmers or their families, and the land and real estate in this village are also the private property of the Qian family, and the hired farmers and their families who work here can only live in this village, and they themselves have to pay rent to our village office or the rent of the village land! If, after you buy the 5,000 acres of paddy fields around this brother's village, your paddy fields will also have to pay the rent of the year to the village office at the beginning of each year! If these rents and ground rents cannot be collected, the security and management of the entire Lin'an City, as well as the provision of the descendants of the Lin'an Army, will be in trouble! Therefore, the clerks of these village offices are all sent by the Yamen of Lin'an City! ”

Aaron said, "Oh! It turns out that you will have to pay this price in the future to buy land! How do you collect these ground rents?! ”

Mr. Qian said, "We determine the price of land rent based on 5% of the harvest value of the land!" Harvest valueWe will verify the rent of the land unit area according to the harvest of the previous year's land unit area and the average price level, etc., and then the village office will collect these land rents from you landlords at the beginning of the year! Only if you are serious about farming, these rents are really very cheap! ”

Ah Long said: "Lord Qian! Well, the dock land! Mountains and forests! Do you want to collect land rent like this?! ”

Master Qian smiled and said, "Oh! It's a little different! You pay taxes to the yamen according to the business tax on the wharf land and facilities, and you will pay 5% of the average price of the goods produced on the land approved by the yamen for the mountain and forest land! These things, in the future, you go to negotiate with the relevant personnel of the yamen! They also collect the tax for the year at the beginning of each year! ”

After listening to Lord Qian's words, Ah Long's heart was a little uneasy, he felt that there were too many things hidden behind the land, and when these lands did not generate income, they would have to pay taxes and land rent to the yamen of Lin'an City!

Although, Aaron is very disgusted with taxes and land rent! However, he thinks that it is also very reasonable for Lin'an Yamen to do this, if there is no tax revenue, there is no order inside and outside Lin'an City, and there is no one to manage public affairs. In this way, Lin'an City is not peaceful again!

Therefore, along the way, Ah Long lowered his head and silently followed Lord Qian and them to take a look!

Unconsciously they inspected 5,000 acres of paddy fields, as well as 2,000 acres of wharf land on the north bank of the Qiantang River.

After visiting these two places, Ah Long and Lord Qian separated from them!

Ah Long and the others hurried back to Qinglong Mansion.

After arriving at Qinglong Mansion, Ah Long, Ah Mao and Jianbang reported the investigation to Hu Gu in the living room.

After listening to Ah Long's report, Hu Gu smiled and said, "Ah Long! It is normal for the yamen to collect land rent and taxes! When I was in the capital, I set up a stall selling baked cakes, and I had to pay 300 yuan a month to the yacha! As long as we run these lands and industries! Paying taxes is not a problem! ”

A cat said, "Tiger Aunt! In the future, we will get tens of thousands of acres of land! These places are not the palm-sized baked cake stalls you rented on the side of the streets of Beijing! My dad and I have farmed in Xianyuan County! A good paddy field can only produce more than 1,000 catties of millet per mu every year, and can produce 800 catties of rice, according to the current grain price, each mu of paddy field can get a total income of 3.5 taels of silver per year! Now, the Qian family fortress gives us 5,000 paddy fields, and according to this income, its annual income is 17,500 taels of silver, so will we pay 785 taels of silver to the Yamen of Lin'an City at the beginning of next year?! There are also docks, mountains and forests, etc., which also have to pay taxes like this, right?! Then, when we operate these lands and industries, we have to invest a lot of capital, hire people to work, and consume materials! Hum! I feel that Boss Qian Chufei is setting up a trap for us, he is too old and calculating! I feel that he picked up our property in Xianyuan Town for nothing, and threw a bunch of hornet's nests for us to hold! Let's work hard for them, pay them taxes, feed them! ”

The tiger girl smiled and said, "Ah cat! You can understand these things at a young age! You're also a great talent! Perhaps, Boss Qian really thinks so! However, our goal is that you can dispose of the property in Xianyuan Town as soon as possible and leave the land of right and wrong! To make this transaction, at least, we will get 1.65 million taels of silver! We also got two mansions in the city! As for the land and facilities such as farmland, docks, and mountains and forests that we have acquired, as long as we are determined to operate them and dare to take a little business risk, they are "inexhaustible" treasures! Alas, Aaron! Ah, cat! In Lin'an City, we are just helpless outsiders! If we suffer from gains and losses, we are afraid of wolves and tigers, we don't want to suffer, we don't want to make money, and we don't want to contribute! Why do the big men of the Qian family do business with us and give us a way to live?! ”

Aaron smiled and said, "Alas! Hearing Aunt Hu say this, my heart lit up again! When the transaction is over, we have everything, we have mansions, cash, land and industry, and we still have the backer of the Lin'an Army! If we don't work hard, how can we be worthy of our youth?! How can you be worthy of the great mountains and rivers here?! Right?! Brother Cat! ”

Everyone laughed!

......

On the morning of August 27 of the lunar calendar, Ah Long and his team followed Qian Jinsheng to inspect 10,000 acres of mountainous and hilly land outside the west gate of Lin'an City and the northwest of West Lake.

This land has tea planting areas, medicinal herb planting areas, etc., as well as forests, grasslands, streams and lakes, etc., this land is mainly concentrated in the northwest direction of the West Lake, has been extending to the west, and then go west is the boundary of Lin'an County, which is the birthplace of the Qian family!

Aaron felt that this land was more suitable for the development of planting and animal husbandry!

......

On August 29 of the lunar calendar, according to the agreement, Ah Long and Qian Chufei negotiated a contract for a package deal.

As a result of the negotiations, Long Hanfeng transferred the commercial property and land south of Chengdong Street in Xianyuan Town to Qian Chufei for an overall price of 2.3 million taels of silver, and Qian Chufei paid Long Hanfeng 1 million taels of silver in cash, and transferred the combined assets of real estate, farmland, land, mountain and forest land in Lin'an City, Qiantang County, with a total price of 1.3 million taels of silver, to Long Hanfeng free of charge, as payment for Qian Chufei's remaining purchase price.

The property rights and interests of these lands were transferred after October 1 of the lunar calendar, and at this time, Long Hanfeng sent people to take over these assets and land.

The contract stipulates that on September 4 of the lunar calendar, Long Hanfeng and Guo Ruyu transferred the commercial property and land south of Chengdong Street in Xianyuan Town, and the assets and land of Chengdong Street in Xianyuan Town (covering an area of 300 acres), that is, Shuntianfu real estate, to Qian Chufei's name. At the same time, Qian Chufei fully accepted and took over the properties and land on 16 October of the lunar calendar.

......

On the morning of August 30 of the lunar calendar, Qian Chufei transported 1.65 million taels of silver in cash to Qinglong Mansion in a horse-drawn carriage.

The gold inspectors of the Qinglong Mansion inspected the silver, and through the inspection, the silver was all official silver, and their purity and weight were all qualified by the official government's standards, so they were all stored, measured, and stored by the Qinglong Mansion.

......

On the whole day of September 1 of the lunar calendar, in the land and real estate management yamen of Lin'an City, Qian Chufei will be the former Marshal's Mansion (covering an area of 500 acres) and the General's Mansion (covering an area of 250 acres) on General Road in the southwest area of Lin'an City; 5,000 acres of farmland outside the south gate of the city; Outside the south gate of the city, 2,000 acres of land and appurtenances on the north bank of the Qiantang River; Outside the west gate of the city, 10,000 acres of mountain and forest land in the northwest area of West Lake were transferred to the name of Long Hanfeng, and Long Hanfeng obtained the land deeds, property rights certificates and parcel maps of these properties and land.

At the same time, Ah Long changed the former Marshal's Mansion (covering an area of 500 acres) on General Road in the southwest area of Lin'an City into "Huilong Mansion", and the original General's Mansion (covering an area of 250 acres) was changed to "Xinglong Mansion".

......

After handling everything in Qiantang, Ah Long and Hu Gu talked in the living room of Qinglong Mansion.

"Tiger Aunt! Our deal in Qiantang is done! Tomorrow, we are going to follow Boss Qian Chufei back to Xianyuan Town! Aunt Hu, you must send your brothers on October 1st to help us accept those five assets and land! Before October 15th, you must let our ship dock at the pier outside the east gate of Xianyuan River City! After we return to Xianyuan Town, we will transfer the assets to Boss Qian Chufei, and then we will be busy moving! ”

After Hu Gu listened to Ah Long's words, she said, "Okay! Recently, I am immediately recruiting a group of management experts who will help us take over the assets and business! At the same time, we are looking for a few boatmen who are familiar with the Qiantang to Xianyuan River Sailing, and I asked a few capable brothers in the door to follow them to drive the boat and go to the east dock of Xianyuan River City to meet you! When you go to Xianyuan Town, you must guard against that villain of Long Tianwei! ”

Aaron said, "Okay! Tiger Girl! Help me think more about this! When I return to Lin'an City, we will discuss how to operate the land and industry outside Lin'an City! ”

Hu Gu smiled and said, "It's okay! You can rest assured to do your thing! Now, there are Lin'an Army and the Qian family covering us! We've got it done! ”

.....

In this way, on the morning of September 2, Ah Long, Ah Mao, and the city-state left Qinglong Mansion in their carriage, and they followed Qian Chufei's horse team out of Lin'an City and returned to Xianyuan Town.

......

After returning to Xianyuan Town, on the morning of September 4 of the lunar calendar, Long Hanfeng and Guo Ruyu went to the land and real estate management yamen of Xianyuan County, located in the northeast district of Xianyuan Town, and transferred the commercial property and land to the south of Chengdong Street in Xianyuan Town, and the assets and land such as Shuntianfu real estate in Chengdong Street of Xianyuan Town (covering an area of 300 acres of property and land) to Qian Chufei's name!

"Cold wind! Such as jade! Our whole deal is over! From tomorrow, we will do this transaction, and it will spread in Xianyuan Town! However, we can't disclose the process and content of the transaction. Maybe the people of the Dragon Mansion will find you in trouble! If you are in trouble, come to me! Neither our Qian family nor the city defense army are vegetarians! When you leave Xianyuan Town on October 15th, let my son Qian Xiucheng escort you! Go back and get ready to move! ”

After completing the transfer procedures, Qian Chufei explained things to Long Hanfeng and Guo Ruyu like elders!

Long Hanfeng and Guo Ruyu looked at Qian Chufei respectfully hand in hand, and after they bowed deeply to the old man Qian Chufei, they left the county yamen and walked back to Shuntian Mansion!
