Chapter 235: The Shu people seek cooperation

Conditions, this Su Xiao is also quite interesting, who he thinks he is, Wang stood next to him: "Master Su, if you think this mansion needs to be repaired, explain to Steward Lu, if you can do it, you can do it, if you can't do it, you have to ask Su Gongzi to find another good house." ”

"The condition mentioned below is not the repair of the mansion, but the desire to negotiate a business with the prince."

With such a big breath, Wang Bian turned his mind and looked at Su Xiao, this Su Xiao is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he came to talk about business with Wang Bian in such a big tone, Wang Bian couldn't help but look at this Su Xiao up and down, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old hairy girl, if it weren't for Wang Bian's funeral under the moon these days, it wouldn't have left this girl a chance not to look at the mansion with others for three days,

Su Xiao saw Wang Bian looking at himself, and couldn't see any expression on Wang Bian's face, isn't Wang Bian a businessman, why when it comes to business, Wang Bian is so indifferent, maybe he doesn't believe that he can buy this house and talk about business with him, Su Xiao thought of this and took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and put them on the table: "These silver tickets can be exchanged for two hundred taels of gold, if you can make a good deed today, I will 'lose money', and then I will have to bother Lao Gongzi to go to the official mansion with me to seal the deed, but before that, please ask Wang Gongzi to show me the 'account'." ”

Wang Bi bought land several times, and finally these terms were not difficult for him, and there was a clear stipulation in the Song Taizu period: "Where you pawn and sell, rely on the property, first ask the relatives, the relatives do not buy, the second ask the neighbors, the neighbors do not want, and others have to trade." Before the seller sells the house, he must get the consent of his family and clansmen and neighbors, and this kind of approval can not be just verbally allowed, the formal practice is to "ask by account", that is, the owner needs to take a small book to list the names of relatives and neighbors on it, and write down the reasons why the owner wants to sell the house, and how much money he wants to sell, and then, first hand it to the family and the clan, ask these people whether they are willing to buy the owner's house, if they are not willing to buy, the owner needs to go to the neighbors again, ask them if they are willing to buy, and finally, when "ask the account." "When the signatures of the above-mentioned persons are densely listed, the owner has the right to sell the house to others, otherwise it is illegal, and the clansmen and neighbors have the right to report, if one of them refuses to visa, the house shall not be sold to others, but the refusal must also explain the reasons, such as the owner corrupts the family property, the owner sells the house in violation of the ancestral teachings, the owner damages the right of first refusal of the relevant personnel, the neighbors are unwilling to change the neighborhood for strangers, etc., if you enter the litigation procedure, these reasons can generally be recognized by the "judge", it is conceivable, No matter how energetic a person in the Song Dynasty usually is, when it comes time to sell a house, he must nod to his clansmen and neighbors in order to get their signature.

According to the provisions of the document, the buyer and the seller should go to the county government to buy a "fixed sticker", draft a contract, and then purchase a few copies of the "positive contract" after being reviewed and approved by the relevant personnel, before the contract can be formally signed.

"Positive deed" in quadruplicate: a buyer holds, a seller holds, a copy to the county government for approval, a stay in the commercial tax institute for the record, "commercial tax institute" is the Song Dynasty tax collection agency, similar to the current State Taxation Bureau, the commercial tax institute is generally not located in the county, the deed tax is often collected by the county government, more often by the "fangya" on behalf of the agent, "fangya" is both an intermediary, but also a guarantee, both an appraiser, and a registered agent, but also a tax inspector, the work of "fangya" is not free, must pay commissions to them, If there is no special agreement, the commission is generally paid by the seller.

Like all other imperial eras, the Song Dynasty did not have a real estate certificate, and it was necessary to wait until the four contracts were sealed, one of which was used as a proof of the buyer's legal ownership of the property, whether it was stamped or not, it was very important for the buyer, the same contract, not stamped called "white deed", stamped called "red deed" (Ming and Qing dynasties changed to "red deed"), white deed may be useful in the people, but it is equivalent to a piece of waste paper in the court, for example, the owner just bought a suite, and did not live in it, it was occupied by others, At this time, if the owner takes the white deed to sue, the "judge" not only does not support the owner, but also confiscates the owner's house.

Even if he knows so much, presumably Su Xiao has worked hard to buy a house in the past few days, Wang looked at Lu Shenyan, these things like asking accounts must have been done by Lu Shenyan, sure enough, Lu Shanyan saw Su Xiao slapping the silver ticket on the table, and looked at it with his eyes, which was indeed a lot of silver ticket hinges, and thought in his heart that breakfast had not been prepared in vain for so many days, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, the two sons have already prepared the account, and even the contract is ready, just wait for you two to sign the contract." ”

"Wait." Wang Fang thought to himself that what Su Xiao wanted to say was not said, he definitely couldn't sign it so easily, thinking that the Su family was also a big family in Meizhou, who knew what conditions this girl had, besides, a girl of sixteen or seventeen dared to carry a huge amount of money to buy land in the capital, and she dressed up like this, which shows that she is also a bold and upright master.

"Hmph, why does the prince want to regret it." Su Xiao raised her eyebrows,

There was a faint smile on the corner of Wang Bian's mouth, still smiling and elusive: "There is nothing to regret about buying and selling a house, but let's ask Su Gongzi to tell me your conditions first, don't look back, I won't agree to you, you regret buying this house, it seems that I bullied you." ”

"Okay, I bought this house, to borrow the name of Meyer Mansion, in Meizhou Su Wen Wang Gongzi has a way of doing business, every year only to hand over the tea profits to the court there are 200,000 taels of silver, I wanted to ask Gongzi for advice, but unexpectedly I saw Gongzi sell this Mayer Mansion, and shut down the tea business, I bought this house, I want to keep the name of this house, please Gongzi willing to come forward, help my Shu tea farmers sell tea to Shu, this is what I said about the conditions and the business to negotiate with Gongzi." After Su Xiao finished speaking, he gasped as if relieved,

Wang listened and smiled slightly, he knew that the tea business was profitable, not only the capital, but even the Western Xia and Liao countries regarded tea as a treasure, but how could he have this mood at the moment, if he was an official in the Song Dynasty, there was no permission not to leave the place without permission, before he wanted to stay in the capital, and now he wants to leave the capital and only resign, in order to leave the capital, he promised the trust of Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang, and went south to visit the loss of books,

There is a mentality called going with the flow, crossing over to the king of the Song Dynasty a few years later, and suddenly there is such an emotion, which has to be changed to a few years earlier, or the king is secretly smiling in his heart, secretly proud and even agreeing, but now it is different: now the king's heart is very dazed, since the moon left, he himself feels that there is no goal, if he stops doing nothing, his savings over the years are enough for the second half of his life, but these people around him, so that he has to do something, such as going south, From the king's heart, he hoped that he could dig gold, so that everyone would follow him in vain; And he himself can also have the strength to build a brick kiln as soon as possible, to burn out bricks that can build a house, and realize his promise to build a set of brick houses under the moon.

Seeing Su Xiao's very sincere appearance, Wang Bi shook his head slightly: "Master Su, this matter is not okay, you also know that all states have tea, these are handled by the imperial court except for when I was a tea farm in the capital, if your tea in Shu is sold to other state capitals, affecting the tea profits in various places, then the government will not be able to afford you and me." ”

Su Xiao stood up, walked to the king's side and looked up at the king: "Wang Gongzi, I'm not here for me, our government lowers the price to collect tea, and the tea farmers can only sell it to the government, in the end, the people are getting poorer and poorer, and the food is expensive in the famine year, so they have to borrow money from the landlord and rich households to buy grain, and in the end the income is not enough to repay the interest, so that many people are displaced, and the family is ruined. ”

Wang Jian couldn't help but look at Su Xiao again when he heard this, this baby seemed to be very angry, forcibly suppressing his anger, but there was a trace of stubbornness in his eyes, but what did the sixteen or seventeen female baby know, it was difficult to believe it just by listening to one side,

Wang next to the face of the wrinkled face: "Su Gongzi, don't you know that since Taizong and Zhenzong, in order to prepare for disasters, there are parity warehouses in various places, and part of the money is deducted from the money provided as grain and herbs, when the price of grain is cheap, the government buys and stores grain, if the price of grain is expensive, then sell it to stabilize the price or use it for disaster relief, how to displace the people, you can keep the name of this Meyer Mansion if you want, but I can't help anything next to the king, and I have resigned and closed the tea farm, I think it is really difficult to agree to do this." ”

Su Xiao heard what the king said, and hurriedly said: "Childe doesn't know, those parity warehouses have been misappropriated, and they are in name only. ”

"In this matter, if there are officials who are corrupt and pervert the law, Su Gongzi can find the prefect or the high court, what is the use of you coming to me."

"Even if these are temporarily solved, they can't solve the fundamental problem, don't you hear about the emergency and don't save the poor prince, now the people of Shu are poor, and the tea is not sold, and it will be secretly transported to Shaanxi in the past, there seems to be a large amount of tea there, and now even Shaanxi Road does not have this demand, and if it goes on like this, the tea in Shu will be wasted." Sue's novel is very eager,

Wang Pan couldn't help but think: the ancient southwest frontier and the northwest frontier of the tea and horse market, flourishing in the Tang and Song Dynasty tea horse road divided into Sichuan-Tibet, Yunnan-Tibet two roads, is it now into Tibet tea and horse trade between Sichuan and Tibet has not been formed, since the Song Dynasty Shaanxi Pass has been lost, can not trade tea and horses, then that is to say, so far Shu Road has not been formed, this is a business opportunity, but with such a hairy girl, in this few words can persuade Wang to open up the ancient tea horse road in Sichuan and Tibet,

And this Su Xiao kept saying that he wanted to talk about business with Wang Pan, why did he talk about it, Wang Xiao listened to Su Xiao say that the people were suffering, and there might be a truth, but that was not his own business, he had just broken his family, how could he have the ability and mood to manage others,

"Su Gongzi's painstaking understanding is that Wang really doesn't have the ability to do this now."

"Anyway, it turns out that the legend of the world that Wang Gongzi has now lost his mind, and the court is no longer doing things for the people, which seems to be true." Su Xiao's eyes highlighted a trace of undisguised contempt,
