"Sit on the ground and start up...... Jokes, right? Who do you sell it to? ”

"yes, who are they going to sell to?"

"Someone will always take over, think about the pawn shop, don't you raise the price every time it comes out? One truth, as long as you are not the last one to take over, you can still make money. ”

"Well, that makes sense, but back to the question...... Who will buy it? ”

Fang Siwei listened to the discussion of the three of them, and was a little distracted...... For a long time, I hadn't spoken for a long time and my voice was a little hoarse, so I cleared my throat and asked.

"How is that Master Jia now?"

"Master Jia?" The master didn't know what was going on: "He doesn't go out now, I think he is hiding at home to avoid being harassed." ”

"The official is asking about the land in his hand, and the previous seller is still redeeming it?"

Chen Lin thought for a while and replied: "There are fewer people who have come to handle the paperwork in the past few days, and it is estimated that even if Boss Jia still has land in his hands, I am afraid there will not be much." ”

"Oh......" Fang Siwei sighed, and said again for a long time: "What you said has some truth, this official wants this land auction to be done once a year, and it can't be done anytime and anywhere." We don't know about other places, but here in Liuhe, there are still more private fields than official fields. Therefore, the meaning of this official is that you have to make a plan in advance, and you can't auction that piece of land if you think of it......"

"So how do you plan?"

"The specific official hasn't thought about it yet, anyway, you can't be impatient about this matter, Stone Town is not built in a year, you have to come little by little. For example, how much land I have released for the people to cultivate this year, how much land can I auction off according to the rate...... In this way, we can not only protect the physiology of the people, but also ensure that the county's annual taxes are paid on time and in full, and there is still money to stay. ”

"What the hall said is reasonable, so is this auction still going on?"

"Do it again, the county is now not rich in money, and there are many places to use money, this summer's flood has caused the collapse of the river in our county, the southeast from the mouth of the Xinjiang River to the Situ Wei of our county, about more than ten miles, this water conservancy must use money; Not only water conservancy, but also the social science of our county should expand the school building and build the granary...... All of this has to be done for money. ”

"Yes, which piece of land are you going to auction this time?"

"I see that there is a barren white field in the west of the county, but I don't know how many acres there are?"

Wang Ying, the county man, thought for a while and replied: "The barren white fields registered in our county last year have 22 hectares, 88 acres and 9 points, and that piece of land is not the largest, about five or six hectares. ”

"Just that piece of land, there happens to be a post road leading to Lai'an."

"Or do you want to make the first announcement like last time?"

"Yes, the time is set...... Five days later. ”

"I know."

"Also...... This transaction allows the use of spot bills, and last time it was all cash, which was too troublesome and risky. ”

————

Cao Shuyu smiled when he heard the news: "This county order is insightful. ”

Uncle Quan also smiled and said, "No, it saves the trouble of carrying silver taels." ”

"Who is the great pilgrimage of Nanjing Hengchang?"

"Master, it's Li Chaofeng, why don't you let him talk to the people from the county government first? Let's see if you can designate my Hengchang as a ......"

"That's it, and it's settled within three days."

"Yes, the old slave understands."

Five days later, the second land auction was held as scheduled.

And just five days before the start, the entire Liuhe County, and even the three counties of Jiangbei were a sensation, because there was a first success, and Jiangpu, Liuhe, and Yizhen in Jiangbei are all an economic zone, so the magistrates of the two counties also came to Liuhe County to observe the entire auction process.

Of course, they want to do it, so easily, as if they can get a million in such an auction.

Cao Shuyu did not come forward this time, but Uncle Quan attended on his behalf, and the auction went very smoothly, and finally the transaction was successfully sold at a price of 3521 mu. The result is not unexpected, but it is also unexpected, that is, the price has actually risen by fifty taels, and the second is that the buyer this time is the Jiang family of the two Huai general merchants.

Wang's tooth shop has become the most lively place, people come here every day to inquire about all kinds of news, real and fake, hearsay, groups of people get together to discuss the price of land, guess how high the price can climb. The person who redeemed the land from Boss Jia before, although he spent a lot of money, fortunately sold it for a good price, and still made at least five times the profit than before......

This is like a feast, and it is also like the temple fair of Tianfei Palace in Jinling in March, full of pilgrims, full of carnival and festive emotions, and of course, there are people who are depressed, regretful, envious, and jealous......

Three days later, the latest price posted on the notice outside the dental store was updated again, and the land price of the most expensive piece of land rose sharply to 421 acres!

Like a lightning bolt slashing down, everyone present was scorched, and it was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside! That kind of shock is simply incomprehensible, because a few days ago, it was only a few dozen taels of the level, and today it has increased dozens of times, or even a hundred times?

The world is completely insane......

Since Fan Xiucai moved to live in the west of the city, he began to concentrate on his studies, and rarely cared about other things, but when he came to the city today, he went to the tax department for the restaurant opened by his mother.

The tax department of Liuhe County is just west of the county office, and the corner is the main street where the Wangjia Yahang and the newspaper office are located. The county-level tax department is not large, generally there are three main halls, one ear room, one gatehouse, and the other is the official house, the official house, and the kitchen. There is only one ambassador, one official, and a number of patrols, and the patrols are professional service, and the people are the common people, so they are not given money because they are professional service. In the past, the food of the ambassadors and officials was supplied by patrols, but it was only later changed to be paid by the local official warehouse.

Fan Xiucai came to the entrance hall, what he didn't expect to see was a crowded scene, he was a little surprised, and hurriedly grabbed a person who came with him and asked:

"Brother, how is it that this tax department is still more prosperous than the business of the shopkeepers?"

The man laughed and said, "It's not just a thriving business...... You don't know what they're here for? It seems that you are not here to do the deed of work. ”

"Huh? No, the little students are here to do the class," Fan Xiucai was surprised, pointed at them and asked, "They are all here to do the red deed?" Since how long has this been? ”

"How long? It must have been a few days...... Since you are here to do the quota class, I am afraid that you will have to wait, and now there are only two tax officers, and you can't finish the deed every day. Xiucai, if you are not in a hurry, it is better to come in a few days, or wait for the patrol to come to the door, you really don't have to run the tax department. ”

The stall tax is only paid once a quarter, and Fan Xiucai is not in a hurry, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

When the deed is made, it needs to be sealed by the government and the white deed becomes a red deed, so it is protected by the law and collects three out of 100 ad valorem tax.

It was pointless to wait, so Fan Xiucai had no choice but to return in vain, and left the tax department to plan to go to the bookstore again. As soon as I turned the corner, I saw a group of people standing outside the gate of Wang's Yaxing.

He still vaguely remembers the ups and downs of those days, mixed with joy and sorrow, and it is still like a dream when he sees such a scene today.

"Huh? Isn't this the show of the day? An old man suddenly squeezed to Fan Xiucai's side.

Fan Xiucai turned around and saw that it was the old man who kindly persuaded him that day, and said with a smile: "This old man is Xiao Ke." ”

"I heard that your land was sold for a good price, what did I say at the beginning? Isn't this a blessing? ”

"Hehe~ Yes, thank you for the relief of the old man that day, hey......" Fan Xiucai sighed in his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing this, the old man patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "You are lucky, others can't envy you, just take the money and live a good life in the future." Look at those people over there, how many of them are as lucky as you? still sits all day long dreaming of making a fortune. According to me, the price of this land is so outrageous nowadays, it's strange that no one manipulates it! It's all rich people's play, we ordinary people can't play with others, just watch the excitement, don't really get involved, otherwise it's really a broken family. ”

Fan Xiucai couldn't help but nod and said: "Yes, yes, since Xiao Ke experienced that time, he never wanted to go through it twice, he just wanted to study well and live a safe and stable life with his family......"

The old man nodded and praised: "That's right, this is the right way." ”

Nothing was accomplished today, Fan Xiucai finally returned home and sat in the study, with thousands of thoughts in his heart and a thousand words in his stomach......

Put the four treasures of the study, lay them out, spread the paper, grind the ink, and then roll up the sleeve tube, the brush is dipped in ink, and write a "Fisherman" on the paper.

When the fisherman saw this, he asked, "Isn't the son of a doctor and a doctor?" Why? ”

Qu Yuan said: "The whole world is turbid, I am alone, everyone is drunk, I am sober, I am alone, it is to see and release." ”

The fisherman said: "The saint does not stagnate in things, but can move with the world." The world is turbid, why not bend its mud and raise its waves? Everyone is drunk, why not eat the bad and eat it? Why do you think deeply and exalt yourself? ”

Qu Yuan said: "When I hear it, the new bather will play the crown, and the new bather will shake the clothes; Can An observe with his body, and call out to those who receive things? Ning went to Xiangliu and was buried in the belly of the river fish. Can An be white with a bright brightness, and covered with the dust of the world? ”

The fisherman smiled, and said: "The water of the waves is clear, and you can wet my hair; The water of the waves is turbid, and you can wet my feet......"

After writing silently, Fan Xiucai put down the pen, and then felt a lot more comfortable.

On the second day,

The price of land rose sharply again, and the highest price climbed to 4521 mu, and the whole world was in an uproar......

For this reason, the gambling house has reopened the gambling game, and the world is good at gambling, and the gentlemen and doctors, like the common people, regard gambling as a romantic move, and the bettors are as small as gold, silver and jewelry, and as large as fields and real estate.

The Xiaoyao Building (note) north of Nanjing Huaiqing Bridge also set up a gambling shed in the racecourse, that is, the gambling game, in each shed, there are special 'gamblers' to preside over all kinds of gambling affairs in the shed, and there are also 'people' in the market to shuttle in the meantime.

Gu Jue can be described as a grandmaster of players, what throwing money and throwing pots, shuanglu wiping cards, hiding hooks and guessing coins, and playing chess dominoes are all understandable.

Gambling is just for him to have fun, not to make a living.

(Note): Xiaoyao Building was originally built by Zhu Yuanzhang, who does not do their own business and chase the end, game, game people, will be imprisoned in this Xiaoyao Building, the beautiful name is called "Xiaoyao Prison", the law in the early Ming Dynasty is strict, even if someone just plays chess and plays back-to-back, they may be sentenced to "cut off their hands".
