Chapter 10: Putting Roots
"So that's the case, I said how the guest officer dressed like a hunter in the mountains, you asked this can be regarded as the right person, don't tell you, the small one is also a homeless person, hiding from the war to the mountains, only came out a year ago, the court did appease, but there are too many people in this Chang'an City.
Now it's no problem to settle down, but this fertile land is gone, if you settle down, it's either a merchant or a worker, anyway, farming is hopeless, if you want me to go to the countryside around Chang'an to see, find a field to live, you see this family of three in Chang'an City is not easy. ”
"Okay, okay, just tell me where to do it, this is a reward for you!"
Xiao Er seemed to be persuaded by opening the chatterbox, Chen Mo interrupted him impatiently, and put a few copper coins on Xiao Er's hand, and after seeing the copper coins, Xiao Er smiled even more.
"It's easy for you to settle down, just find a place to live, and find a landlord or something like that to make a guarantee, and it's hard to settle down." Xiao Er didn't talk nonsense this time and went straight to the dry goods.
"Isn't it okay to buy your own house? Who to turn to? "Will Chen Mo rent a house? Impossible, you have money!!
Sure enough, after listening to Chen Mo's words, Xiao Er was speechless, feeling that this was still a local tyrant, and sure enough, he didn't have the same fate, he was not so lucky to be a savage, and he was almost arrested and imprisoned, and then the current emperor sent a message to appease the exile, so he let himself go.
I can only be a shopkeeper to make a living, but people, not only have a beautiful wife but also a lovely daughter, and the most hateful thing is to buy a house, this is naked, naked showing off wealth!
"If you want to buy a house, you have to find a dental shop, and if you buy a house, let the dental dealer guarantee you and settle down directly."
"Where is the tooth row?" Chen Mo then asked, and after Xiao Er gave him a detailed explanation, Chen Mo nodded in understanding, and then checked out and left the restaurant.
After Xiao Er's Yaxing said that he wanted to buy a house, Chen Mo was immediately treated kindly.
"The guest officer wants to buy a house? But I don't know what to ask for? The visitor looked at Chen Mo's clothes and couldn't determine his purchasing power.
"It's best to have a bigger house, it's best to have a façade on the street, it's best to bring a yard, by the way, I heard that buying a house here with you can settle down, I don't know if it's right?"
Chen Mo said his requirements and asked the question of settling down, and this tooth man was also a little surprised after hearing Chen Mo say that he had settled down, looked at Chen Mo and said: "It turns out that the guest officer has not settled down yet, no problem, you come to us to buy a house, and the matter of settling down is naturally on us, but I don't know if you want to go to the house, or are you dependent?" ”
"What do you mean by this? What does attachment mean? Chen Mo didn't expect that there were several kinds of household registrations, so he immediately asked, including Zhen Niang, who was also very curious about this kind of thing, and she didn't know.
"The upper household is very simple, that is, the person who owns the land, and as for the attachment, it means that the person who does not have the land, such a person has no foundation, and can only be regarded as born of dependence, so it is counted as dependence." The tooth man explained simply, and Chen Mo immediately understood, feelings are still more valuable.
The world says that the peasants are only under the officials, and on the surface the peasants are only under the officials, and they are more noble than the workers and merchants, although in fact this is not the case, but nominally, the peasant households are indeed regarded as the upper households, after all, the country today depends on the peasants to pay taxes to support them.
"Can you do it?" Chen Mo asked, after all, since this tooth man asked like this, it proves that he has this ability, otherwise there is no need to ask.
"Coincidentally, I happen to have a Zhuangzi here, not big, about 100 acres, do you want it? If you want, this upper household will be done. ”
Do you need to ask? Of course I want to, but... Chen Mo touched his pocket and asked, "How much does it cost?" ”
The tooth man smiled, he knew that this was all right, but he didn't expect to just test it and meet a rich man, and after calculating, he said: "The house you want is Pingkangfang, the front is the façade shop, and the back is the house garden, a total of three entrances, plus the land of Liuyunzhuang outside the city you want, a total of 1,200 yuan." ”
"Take me to see the place first, and then bring all the land and house deeds, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other!" Chen silently calculated, it has always been equal to one tael of silver, ten taels of silver is equal to one tael of gold, that is to say, one hundred and twenty taels of gold, equal to one hundred and twenty gold coins... That's how cheap it is.
Chen Mo felt cheap, but Zhen Niang felt speechless, and the tooth man was even more overjoyed, he made a lot of money on this transaction.
"Okay, okay, wait a minute, what are you doing standing stupidly? Why don't you go and put your guests in a carriage? We're out of town! The tooth man smiled at Chen Mo while instructing the servant.
Looking at Zhuangzi outside the city, it is indeed not big, but there are mountains, rivers and forests, a small Zhuangzi belongs to himself, and it can be regarded as having roots, even people like Chen Mo still have the habits of this Chinese people since ancient times in their bones, and they feel that their land is the foundation wherever they go.
There is no problem with Zhuangzi, and there is no problem with the land deed, but Pingkangfang... It's a bit of a problem.
The carriage stopped at the door of Pingkangfang, and when I looked inside, it was really a beautiful and beautiful celebrity, and there were constant shouts and shouts, and there were some women leaning on the building on both sides to recruit red sleeves!
This Nima is a red light district!!
Chen Mo looked at the tooth man, and the tooth man smiled awkwardly and said, "The house you want is indeed only available here, or are you looking at something else?" ”
"No need, let's look at the house first!" Chen Mo rejected the tooth man's proposal, although this is a red light district, Chen Mo feels that he should not discriminate against these ragged young ladies, on the contrary, he should save them and use the money he earns to improve their lives, well! So it was decided.
Chen Mo, who has decided to buy a house in his heart, is more satisfied after seeing the house, although this is a red light district, but not all of them are green buildings, one on both sides of this house is a restaurant and one is a rouge shop, and opposite is a garment shop and a pharmacy, and the environment is also good.
"It's not bad, then here, don't look for it anymore." After going in and taking a look, Chen Mo felt that the house was still good, so he called the guarantor here and signed the contract directly, and the tooth man was naturally very happy, and he repeatedly guaranteed that all the household registration certificates such as three days would be put in Chen Mo's hands.
One hundred and twenty gold coins were taken out and directly dazzled the eyes of the tooth man, and his eyes were even hotter when he looked at Chen Mo, this is definitely a big customer, and the guarantor was also red-eyed, determined to have a good relationship with him.
After a period of compliments, Chen Mo gave each of them a gold coin as a reward, and the grateful tooth man and the guarantor left with the gold rewarded by Chen Mo.
