Chapter 17 Finding the Aftermath
"Master, Liu Er is back in a daze." In the hall of Liu's house, Zhang saw a trott in, and rushed to Zhang's butcher's guard to report in a hurry.
"Come back, come back, afraid of what he will do." When Zhang Tuhu heard the word Liu Er's stunned, he first subconsciously felt a Gedeng in his heart, and then realized why he was afraid of Liu Er's stunned. This guy who dares to deceive himself is still trying to find him.
Liu Jun stepped into the house and found that there were a lot of people crowded into the house, some of whom he knew, the neighbors and neighbors on the street, the chief of the first guard, and some faces he didn't know. The butcher with a meaty face sat noisily in the hall, with his legs spread wide and a big belly.
When he saw Liu Jun coming in, he stretched out his fat hand and slapped it heavily on the table, "Okay, you Liu Er is stunned, you dare to come back." ”
Liu Jun glanced at everyone, "I heard that you bought my land." ”
"That's right, the contract has already been signed." Zhang Butcher slapped the table and said proudly.
"I'm going to see." Liu Jun said very calmly.
"Boy, what, you want to tear up the contract? This is what everyone has witnessed, and if you dare to break the contract, the consequences are very serious. Sue to the yamen, and the remaining forty acres of land in your family must also be handed over. Zhang Butcher pretended to be kind and said, but his tone was full of arrogance after being proud.
"Brother Liu, what's going on?" Since Li Chunjiang came in, he has been ignored by the crowd. thinks that his nephew of the four dignified books, Xie Yuan, who tried in Huguang Township last year, is also a good man, and he is actually ignored. Especially when he saw the rudeness of the big fat man, he didn't like it.
"Brother Li, here's the thing"
"How dare a little butcher be so arrogant?"
"His daughter married the county Cheng to fill the house and continue to do it, the eldest son accepted a prisoner, and the second son went to the township examination to pass the examination, and he is still in the same subject as you." Liu Jun introduced with a smile.
"There are more students in the same department as me, and there are hundreds." Li Chunjiang said a little unconcerned. "I'll help you settle him, annoying."
"You don't have to work for you Dahe, such a country bully, there are ways to deal with him, you can help me to put on the line." Liu Jun said with a smile, he didn't want to show his incompetence in front of his new friends, if he couldn't deal with a little butcher, then what else was there.
Liu Jun took two steps forward and said to Butcher Zhang with a smile.
"How could I break the contract, but I want to see that the contract is always okay, I am also the Liu family."
The contract is in duplicate, and after signing the contract, it must be submitted to the county government for approval and filing, and then a tax must be paid. It is a land transaction tax, where the seller of the land pays the tax on cession and the buyer pays the tax on the collection.
Seeing Liu Jun's calm appearance, Zhang Tuhu felt a little surprised in his heart. This Liu Er was stunned to go outside to climb relatives, and when he came back, he found that the relatives of the Liu family who deceived him had been exposed, and the Liu family paid a heavy price of 90 acres of land for this, shouldn't he rush up and beat him, right, why did he look so cowardly.
But no matter what, he doesn't have to be afraid of Liu Jun at all now. So he took out the contract and handed it to Liu Jun. Anyway, this contract was witnessed and signed by everyone, if Liu Jun dared to tear it up, he just had the opportunity to swallow the remaining dozens of acres of land of the Liu family.
Liu Jun took the contract, read it carefully a few times, and almost knew it. Based on his original memory, he knew that even if such a deed had not been approved and filed by the yamen, it was still a contract recognized by the yamen.
"Sell live?"
"That's right."
Liu Jun smiled, "Since there are so many Chinese witnesses here today, then I will ask, this land sale is a big deal, for example, you have to ask the seller's relatives first, if no one wants to buy, it can be the turn of outsiders to buy, right?" ”
Land is the foundation of the people, so the buying and selling of land is also quite cumbersome and cumbersome.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty at this time, a conventional rule was basically formed in all parts of the Ming Dynasty, that is, when selling land, you need to ask your brothers, nephews, uncles and other relatives first, and if you want to buy your own house, you should sell it, and you don't want to ask your family, and then you don't want to find another person to buy, otherwise it will cause disputes, bring trouble, and even cause murder.
There are countless disputes over the sale of land every year, and there have been such cases in Macheng before, not long ago after the death of Zhang Wang's husband in the county, the family had no money, so they had to sell the land to survive.
I asked the family surnamed Zhang first, and they all said no, and his nephew Zhang Ren had no money to buy it, so he just asked him to find the owner and sell it. As a result, he finally found the Wang family to sell, negotiated the price, and when he wrote the contract to hand over the silver and the land, Zhang Ren came to block it, saying that the Wang family bought his Zhang family's land without permission, and the two sides ended up fighting, and finally Zhang Ren was seriously injured and died, and finally the yamen sentenced Wang Ya to death according to the law of murder, and the Wang family had no right to buy that land.
Now Liu Jun stood up and talked about this article, which immediately made Zhang Butcher angry.
Damn, he is not buying and selling land normally, why do you want to ask relatives, and does the Liu family still have relatives?
Zhang Butcher smiled coldly, "Ask the relatives, oh, I forgot, but does the Liu family have relatives?" I heard that the Liu family of Suokouhe is related to your family, and yesterday the old lady of the Liu family of Suokouhe had a birthday, could it be that the second master Liu went over there to celebrate his birthday? ”
"Liu Jinwu's family can't climb high." Liu Jun replied.
"Oh, it turns out that the Liu family is not your relatives, I thought you were Liu Jinwu's relatives, they all said that the emperor still has three poor relatives, I thought you were Liu Jinwu's poor relatives, but it turned out that it was not. Hahaha. Do you have any other relatives in your family? ”
"Yes!" At this time, Li Chunjiang was a little unwilling to be lonely, and he stood in this hall for a long time, and no one paid attention to him. He had been unhappy with this pig butcher for a long time. "I am a relative of the Liu family."
"Which onion are you, and where did it come from? Stay where it's cool. Seeing that Li Chunjiang came back with Liu Jun, and he was only wearing a moon-white robe, and there was no gold and jade on his body, he didn't take it to heart, thinking that it was just Liu Jun's friend or something, so he said politely at the moment.
"You don't care which green onion I count, but I am a relative of the Liu family, and now I am willing to pay for the Liu family's land. According to the rules, this land must be sold to me first, and if you don't ask me, you can't buy this land, even if the lawsuit hits the yamen, I'm not afraid. ”
"Lawsuit, you have to go to the Yamen to fight a lawsuit, okay, I also want to fight a lawsuit, tell you, my son-in-law"
Before he finished his words, Li Chunjiang had already interrupted him with a look of contempt, "Isn't your son-in-law just a county prince, well, he is about the same age as you, his wife died, and then he married your daughter to fill the house." ”
Butcher Zhang's face darkened, his county son-in-law was indeed older than him, but he was an official, the second master of the county. "Since you know, then you dare to be rampant with me? Boy, where are you? ”
"Under the surname Li."
"Surname Li?" Butcher Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Boy, you are here to make trouble." Buying land first asks the family, which refers to the same family, but does not include people with foreign surnames, you have a surname Li, where do you have the qualifications to meddle in the sale of land in the family surnamed Liu, where do you stay cool. ”
Li Chunjiang was taken aback, and he was so angry that he wanted to reveal his identity. Liu Jun stretched out his hand to stop him, not in a hurry for a showdown.
"Master Zhang, okay, now even the Liu family clan agrees to sell it to you."
"Isn't this over, what are you doing with so much nonsense, go, go home." Zhang Tuhu stood up to leave, stayed at Liu's house, and was with Liu Er, he always felt uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, Master Zhang, the matter is not over yet." Liu Jun stopped him with a smile.
"Buying and selling land, according to the old convention, in addition to paying the money for buying the field, you also have to give the painting silver, right?" Liu Jun smiled brightly, "According to the rules, this painting silver is one into five to three into five for the purchase of land, and my land is sold to you, and the land purchase fee is three hundred and sixty taels, well, it will be calculated according to three into five painting silver, you have to give my family one hundred and twenty-six taels of painting silver." I'm not wrong, Master Zhang, you do the math to see if it's this number. ”
Painted silver, also known as hanging red money, is equivalent to a signing fee. Since the practice of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the money from the sale of land, there is also a sum of silver, which is also a lot of money.
"Do you still want to draw silver with Lao Tzu?" Butcher Zhang was really shocked, did this Liu Er figure out the situation.
"Not only do you have to give my family a painting silver, according to the old folk customs, all the property is sold, the relatives and nephews have the money to draw the money, and the owner of the family gives the painting silver. I'm not wrong. ”
Butcher Zhang grimaced, "But do you have a kinship clan in your family?" Hum! ”
"This land belongs to my father, well, our three brothers can be counted separately, and it is only one hundred and twenty-six taels of silver. I'll do the math, four hundred and twenty-six taels, that's five hundred and four taels, Master Zhang, you often kill pigs and sell meat, and the arithmetic is definitely better than me, you calculate, see if I'm right. ”
"Wishful thinking, you are daydreaming!" Zhang Butcher spat on the ground and said disdainfully.
"Don't worry, I'm not done yet." Liu Jun smiled calmly.
"After talking about this painting silver, according to the old practice, you have to pay off money to sell land, right?"
The so-called off-employment money means that whenever the land is sold, the first business mainly takes a share of the off-employment money. This is not Liu Jun's nonsense, but a fact. In most places, after the buyer paid the regular price of the land, went to the yamen to pay the tax, paid the painting silver, and gave a large sum of money, the matter was not over, and the owner of the land had to pay a sum of money according to the old rules. The so-called first owner is the former owner of the Liu family's property.
This money is not much, and whoever resells the property to others, the original owner must ask the person who bought the land for a few taels of silver, which is called congratulatory silver, and it is also called the money for leaving the business. In short, a very bad custom old example.
Li Chun jumped out again at this time, "I am the original owner, I don't want much, give five taels of silver per mu of land, a total of ninety acres, give me four hundred and fifty taels of silver." ”
Although the painting money and the money from the job are very cheating, the yamen admits that it is absolutely impossible to rely on the lawsuit in a lawsuit, which is an additional cost that must be paid to buy land. Of course, generally speaking, the painting silver and the money from the job will not be as much as Liu Jun and Li Chunjiang asked for.
Butcher Zhang laughed angrily at this time.
"It's a good idea, if there's anything else you haven't counted, add it together."
"Don't say it, it's true, don't worry, it's the same."
Liu Jun's smile has become a little cold, Butcher Zhang really thinks that the Liu family is easy to handle, this time he wants to let Butcher Zhang know what it means to steal chickens and rice.
