Han Zhengye didn't expect that Xie Qingshan had raised enough money so quickly, and he was surprised to come so quickly.

Xie Qingshan explained: "Brother Han, I'm worried that this Zhuangzi has been robbed by others!" Let's hurry! ”

"That's how it should be, I just saw Feng Yayu rent a carriage and take a family to Zhuangzi to see each other!"

A few people didn't talk nonsense, Han Zhengye called his son Han Hongcai to call a spacious carriage to come over, and several people took the carriage together, and hurried to the Zhuangzi.

Xie Qingshan and Xie Pingtian measured the land about once, and then looked at the soil quality of the land, and they were very satisfied.

In the Zhuangzi is living the head of the village Chen Yuanzhong, there is an old wife and two sons and two daughters, a family of five, see that someone came to see the field, so they came out together and stood at the door, full of taste, to see who can become the future master of the Zhuangzi.

After seeing the clothes of the Xie family, they knew that they were commoners, and there was some contempt in their eyes. This Chen Yuanzhong's family was originally Li Zhaoxuan's house slaves, and they were ordered to take care of Zhuangzi here. On weekdays, whoever wants to tenant the fields on the Zhuangzi needs to go through the head of the village to nod, and the tenants are very stammered, and the life is very nourishing.

Who knew that after Li Zhaoxuan was transferred to the capital, he sold all the fields in Linzhang County, and returned the deeds of some village leaders with Kaien, only brought some close servants, and prepared to take the cash to buy fields in the capital with cash.

These Zhuang heads who have been repaid are like lost geese, and they don't know what their future life experience will be? Chen Yuanzhong's family saw that the Xie family came to see the land, because they didn't look like rich and noble people, they just watched coldly and didn't speak.

The Xie family didn't care about them, and after seeing the fields, they felt very satisfied, and they hurriedly went back with Han Zhengye, ready to sign the field deed immediately. The reason why he was in a hurry was because when he was looking at the land, he saw other families coming to see Zhuangzi and the fields.

When he arrived at Yaxing, Han Zhengye called his son Han Hongcai to go to Li Zhaoxuan's mansion to ask the housekeeper to come over. asked the guy to serve tea to Xie Qingshan and his son, and took snacks to Xie Xuan.

After a while, I heard the neighing of horses outside, and the housekeeper of Li Zhaoxuan's mansion arrived.

The housekeeper's eyes were above the top, and seeing that the Xie family was just a civilian family wearing two pieces of clothes, he didn't say much, but just told Han Zhengye to hurry up and write the deed, saying that the house was busy and he needed to go back to the main business immediately.

Han Zhengye smiled and hurriedly wrote the deed, but Xie Qingshan's father and son were illiterate, so Xie Xuan pretended to read it unintentionally, only to see that the deed said:

Li Xiujin sold the land deed, now will be 35 acres of good land in the east of Linzhang County, 40 acres of inferior land, a total of 75 acres, with three tile houses, with the Chinese Han Zhengye, bargaining out of the ceremony, by Xie Qingshan management industry, three sides of the negotiation, the value of 500 taels, the day of the full collection, and there is no shortage. There is no overlapping transaction of his Zhuangzi land, and there is no dispute with others, if there is such a situation, it is theorized by the pawn seller, and it has nothing to do with the current business. There is no evidence for empty words, and this deed is used as evidence.

At the bottom is the signature of the seller, the buyer, and the tooth, and the date of signing is indicated.

This Li Xiujin should be the name of the housekeeper, I heard Han Zhengye say before, this Zhuangzi fell on Li Zhaoxuan's housekeeper, because the Ming Dynasty stipulated that officials were not allowed to purchase private property in the outside land, but there were policies and countermeasures, and the officials who released the land and shops generally fell on the housekeepers and relatives who could control the side branches, which were all open secrets.

After signing the title deed and pressing the handprint, the Li family housekeeper took the silver and left.

Han Zhengye introduced them to the classification of the title deed, the original title deed is still divided into white deed and red deed, the red deed is the title deed recognized by the government and has been recorded, but the white deed is only recognized by the buyer and seller and the guarantor, if the title deed is lost, the person who picked up the title deed may pretend to be the person on the deed to claim the land.

However, the red deed is filed with the government for a fee, and the buyer and seller have to go to the yamen to buy the officially printed standard contract, and after the completion of the contract, they have to take the signed standard contract to the relevant department to pay the deed tax, and the tax rate is very high, ranging from 3 percent to 16 percent, depending on the situation. In addition to the deed tax, you also have to give red envelopes to the officials, otherwise they will drag it out. Not only did he have to spend money, but he also had to give gifts, and he had to run to the yamen again and again. When you meet those ruthless and black-hearted people, they obviously report to the government for 3% of the deed tax, but they collude with the officials to collect 16% of your income, for example, if they buy a field property for 500 taels of silver, if they want to pay the deed tax for nothing and pay 80 taels of silver, wouldn't it be a loss?

Fortunately, I met Han Zhengye, the tooth introduced by Liu Yiti, who has always been kind and wealthy in business, and I will not exploit them in Liu Yiti's face.

Xie Xuan discussed with her grandfather to exchange the deed for a red deed, even if she paid some taxes, it was better than accidentally losing the deed or being stolen.

Han Zhengye is a serious official, and he also has a way in the government, so he patted his chest and promised that if he handled the red deed through his hands, he would control the deed tax between 4% and 6%, and would never overcharge them. The red envelopes given to the officials also asked them to prepare three taels of silver to ensure that they did it neatly.

Xie Qingshan was overjoyed, seeing that the sky was already numb and dark, Xie Qingshan invited Han Zhengye to go to the restaurant for dinner, which was also the proper meaning, Han Zhengye did not shirk, and walked to the famous Tongfu Restaurant in Linzhang County with his son Han Hongcai and Xie Qingshan.

Xie Xuan thought about it for a while, and said to Xie Qingshan: "Grandpa, we can have the light of Grandpa Liu today, this time to invite Uncle Han to dinner, why don't you go and invite Grandpa Liu over?" ”

Xie Qingshan patted his head when he heard this: "It's still my granddaughter's thoughtfulness, that's how it should be!" ”

Han Zhengye also smiled: "It is also an honor to be able to eat with Dr. Liu Yiti and Dr. Liu!" ”

So they walked towards Baicaotang together, and when they arrived at Baicaotang, they saw the guy on the door panel and ready to close the door. explained his intention to Liu Yiti, Liu Yiti excused himself a few times, and was dragged to the restaurant by the enthusiastic Xie Qingshan and Han Zhengye, Xie Xuan just smiled beside him.

When they arrived at Tongfu Restaurant, they asked people to clean up a good table of three taels of silver, and asked for two jars of Jinhua wine, Xie Qingshan and Han Zhengye both pushed Liu Yiti to sit on the seat, Xie Qingshan and Han Zhengye fought horizontally, Xie Pingtian and Han Hongcai sat at the end, and Xie Xuan followed Xie Qingshan.

The guy in the restaurant served six dishes of vegetables and fruits first, which were fresh water chestnuts, pickled snow lotus, honey-penetrating red dates, yellow pears, sweet mandarins, and pomegranates. There are six dishes of fresh food, red duck eggs, fragrant fried and roasted bones, bald fat and dry steamed and dried chicken, crystal hooves, green and pickled crabs, and red goose gizzards; Finally, four dishes were served on a porcelain plate painted with blue and white on white ground, which were whole roast goose, braised chicken, stewed quivering sauce elbow, sweet and sour braised carp, and finally a pot of sour and spicy appetizing shredded chicken soup.

On the wine table, everyone eats and drinks and laughs, only eats until the beginning of the lantern, and the banquet is dispersed.

After all, it is a Zhuang family, and they are used to frugality, Xie Qingshan asked the man to wrap the fruits and leftovers without soup in oiled paper, tie them with straw ropes, and carry them in their hands.

Going downstairs separately, at this time, Xie Qingshan stuffed the prepared ten taels of silver and the three taels of silver for the Xu officials into Han Zhengye's hands, and the ten taels of silver were more than the normal tooth take. Although Xie Qingshan has never bought such a large amount of land, he is still familiar with the world, and he knows that if he encounters a ruthless toothman, he will definitely deduct more than one or twenty taels of silver in such a large amount of buying and selling land and handling red deeds.

Han Zhengye didn't shirk either, he received it neatly, and only said in his mouth: "Brother Xie, I think you are blessed people, there must be a lot of places to buy land in the future, and I will be able to use my old Han's place in the future, even if I am instructed, I will never refuse!" Han Hongcai helped his drunken father and staggered home.

After sending the slightly drunk Liu Yiti back to Baicaotang, Xie Qingshan's father and son and Xie Xuan took a mule cart back to Gangshang Village.

It wasn't until the second watch that several people returned to Gangshang Village.

first returned the mule cart to Zhou Laomai's family, and gave them a bag of fruits as a thank you gift, and Xie Qingshan and his son took Xie Xuan home.

Xie Wang and Lin have not slept yet, they are collecting shoe soles and sewing clothes under the lamp, doing some idle work, while waiting for the Xie family father and son and Xie Xuan to return, Xie Zhiyuan and Xie Zhicheng have long been unable to hold on, and were sent to sleep by Xie Wang and Lin.

Seeing that Xie Qingshan was a little drunk, and Xie Pingtian was also a little drunk, Xie Wang and Lin put down the many problems in their hearts, hurriedly lit a fire and boiled water, and served Xie Qingshan's father and son to rest.

Everyone was tired after a busy day, Xie Xuan's small body couldn't hold on, brushed her teeth with green salt, cleaned her face and applied facial fat, and fell asleep on the bed.

The next morning, Xie Xuan was fished out of the quilt by Xie Wang's family, and hot water was given to the dazed Xie Xuan to clean his face.

When he entered the hall, he saw Xie Qingshan, father and son, sitting next to the Eight Immortals table and talking.

Xie Wang's and Lin's steamed the meat and vegetables they brought back yesterday, served porridge and rice, and their families sat down, Xie Qingshan sighed and said: "Ouch, I'm still in the clouds, yesterday was just one day, and there were seventy-five acres of land under our house?" It's like a dream now! ”

Xie Pingtian also said: "Yes, when I fell asleep, it was like a dream, and our family actually had nearly 100 acres of land!" ”

Xie Ping'an, Xie Wang's and Lin's were also a little dizzy.

Xie Xuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Grandpa, if you don't believe it, go and see the title deed you got back yesterday." If you still don't believe it, take a look at it again, look at it, and slowly believe it! ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Xie Zhiyuan and Xie Zhicheng saw the meat and vegetables on the table, and learned that grandpa and dad took Xie Xuan to eat a big banquet last night, so they both regretted not going with them, and made a fuss, Xie Qingshan said that he would take them to the next banquet, and the two were satisfied.

There were many things to do on this day, everyone had breakfast happily, and the family went to Zhuangzi to see their newly purchased land, which had never owned so much land in their lives, and they did not know what kind of charter it should be.

Although Zhuangzi is on the edge of Linzhang County, if you measure it with your legs, there is still some distance after all.

Xie Xuan felt that he didn't have to walk as much in his previous life as he had only walked in a few days, so he suggested to Xie Qingshan: "Grandpa, our family has so much land, and we will often go to Zhuangzi to inspect in the future, and we will go to the county seat to sell vegetables in a few days, why don't we buy a carriage, it will be more convenient to go anywhere in the future!" And with the carriage, we can go out and farm in the future, and save some energy......"

Xie Qingshan thought for a while, nodded yes, and said, "Yes, there are many places where the carriage will be used in the future, and it should be bought!" ”

Because there are only carts and horses in the county, and there are only ox carts, mule carts, and donkey carts in the ordinary countryside, everyone rented a mule cart without a roof to go to Zhuangzi, because there are many Xie families, the mule cart is not very big, and it can't take the Xie family, so they have to take the two daughters of the Xie Wang family and the three children to take the car, and the three Xie Qingshan father and son only followed in a hurry.
