Chapter 182: Buying Land
"Qin Lao Wu, Qin Lao Wu, come out quickly. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "After the fat man came out of Jin's house, he hurriedly went to Baiya Village. Although the road was rough, he was afraid of delay, so he hired a carriage and arrived before dark.
"Hey, Master Jin, you're here. "Qin Lao Wu is an honest farmer, about thirty years old, wearing a shirt full of patches, his trousers are rolled up, and there is mud stuck to his body.
"Hurry up, go and invite the village elders and clan elders, I have something to discuss. The golden fat man shook the sweat on his forehead, although the weather is not hot now, but his heart is dry, the land of Baiya Village has not been obtained, and he can't let go of this heart.
"Master Jin, you go to the ancestral hall of our village, the clan elders are receiving a few big shopkeepers from the city. Qin Lao Wu grinned, revealing a mouth full of big yellow teeth, and pointed in the direction of the ancestral hall and said.
"Oops, bad things. As soon as he heard this, the golden fat man ran away, what he was most worried about still happened, if the land in Baiya Village was sold to someone else, then he would have to regret his death.
The boundaries of Baiya Village are not fertile, and there are often rocks growing on the ground. The trails in the village are also rugged, and if you are not careful, you can trip over people. But at this time, the golden fat man was like a monkey possessed, jumping step by step, extremely flexible, and stunned Qin Laowu, a local.
But fortunately, although he came a step late, he didn't lag behind for long. The clan elders in the village were talking to the shopkeepers, which made the golden fat man breathe a sigh of relief.
"Whew...... Ladies and gentlemen, how much land is there in this Baiya Village, we all want it from the Jin family rice shop, and how much is it to ask for it. The golden fat man walked into the ancestral hall, holding the pillar in the center of the house with one hand, and calmed his breath.
When he came in, he glanced at the shopkeepers present and found that these people were not the opponents of the Jin family at all, so he immediately put his mind at ease. In fact, the Jin family is one of the richest families in Changning County, and they don't need to pay attention to most commercial houses.
"Oh, Jin Ye is here, we are discussing, these people are also here to buy land. "The elders of Baiya Village are not very old, and they don't even look thirty years old, but they have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and they are very energetic. Several clan elders sat behind him, their mouths full of open teeth, smoking cigarettes and their faces could not hide their joy.
Of course, the more people who buy land, the better, so that they can reap the benefits of fishermen.
"No one can rob us of the land in Baiya Village, if they offer a good price, then I will add another tael of silver to their price per mu. "The fat man Jin looked at the rest of the shopkeepers with some pride, with the financial resources of our Jin family, the light pressure can crush you to death.
To his surprise, after he said this, the shopkeepers did not show indignation, but had some schadenfreude in their eyes.
"Jin Ye is really atmospheric, okay, since this is the case, we will sell you, we can sell a total of 565 acres of land in Baiya Village, and you will receive 100 taels of silver per mu, which is a total of 56,500 taels of silver......" When talking about this price, Li Chang couldn't help but swallow his saliva, my God, such a large sum of money is really like a dream.
"It turned out to be a hundred taels of silver per mu...... Hundred-tael silver per mu, why don't you go and grab the money?" The fat man didn't react at first, but then as if he had been stung, he jumped up immediately.
"Don't be annoyed, Jin Ye has a word of conscience, are we asking for a high price? I heard that there is a mu of fertile land in Huizhou that can be sold for fifty taels of silver, can the land there have ours?"
An ordinary acre of paddy field is worth 10 taels of silver, and those that can be sold for 50 taels of silver are all top-notch fields.
"I can't say that, I haven't seen the white tooth rice grow in the field with my own eyes, in case I buy it and smash it......" The golden fat man showed a look of embarrassment on his face, his businessman's nature was playing tricks, and he always wanted to suppress the price. At the same time, he was secretly cursing in his heart, no wonder those bastards didn't stop me at all, they were waiting for me here.
"Master Jin, look at what you said, let's do it, we don't sell it, we live our duty, you have to buy it, and now you still come to question us, this person, we can't afford to lose it, we won't sell it...... Don't sell it......" A clan elder immediately became angry, stood up, and shouted at the golden fat man.
"Don't, I'm laughing at this, don't take it to heart, I don't question your meaning, I just think, this price is too high, why don't we discuss it again?"
"It's too high? The old man of the clan was also hard, holding a good deck of cards in his hand, and he didn't let go, that look made the golden fat man grit his teeth for a while.
"Is there no room for negotiation at all?" The fat man grabbed the sleeve of the clan elder and said with a pleading face, and suddenly took out more than 50,000 taels of silver to buy land, even the Jin family couldn't stand it.
"Yes, I'll give you a trick, this is a man, you can't be too greedy, or else, you guys will divide the land, even if you get less land, but the cost will be less." The old man of the clan is also a good person, and immediately knocked on the cigarette pouch and said with a smile.
This is a good idea, after all, more than 50,000 taels of silver is too much, and their Jin family really doesn't dare to take this risk. It's just that in these years, the most profitable thing is the monopoly business, and if he divides some of the good profits, he is really reluctant.
"This is also a method, if you have money, everyone can make it together. The rest of the families did not object, because they also knew that if the Jin family really planned to monopolize it, they would have no choice. Now there is an opportunity, and we have to seize it. Anyway, this white-toothed rice is very in demand, and the entire Ming Dynasty is so big, are you still worried that there is no market?
"This deal is too big, I can't make up my mind, why don't I go back to the master's house to discuss?" The golden fat man saw sweat on his forehead, how can this be done, I still have to discuss it with the second master.
"No, but I have to remind you that by tomorrow, there will definitely be more people coming, and at that time, it won't be a few of you who are dividing the land, but you have to hurry. The old man approached the golden fat man's side, smiled sheepishly, and the smell of smoke in his mouth made the golden fat man's skull hurt.
Looking at the appearance of this old thing, the golden fat man secretly cursed the old fox in his heart.
