Chapter 213: Buying the Island
"Really?"
Tao Xi's eyes were shining, and she was overjoyed when she thought that the biggest island was about to become hers.
I can't wait to go for a run on that isolated island now.
"Nature is true."
Gu Yan took out a deed from his arms and spread it out in front of Jian Shiming.
"Please also ask Brother Jian to take a look."
The door was written in black and white that the isolated island of more than 300 acres belonged to Jian Shiming and Taoxi, and the door was stamped with a seal.
But they only have land rights, and this land still belongs to Dafeng.
This is an uninhabited island, and there are dangers on it, King Jing means to let Gu Yan collect some silver at will, so Gu Yan wrote ten taels of silver on it.
King Jing was grateful to Tao Xi and Jian Shiming, so he exempted them from taxes for three years, and also gave them time to open up wasteland.
Jian Shiming frowned after reading it, "Brother Gu, this place belongs to my wife, so you don't need to write my name." ”
Jian Shiming is self-aware, all his belongings are only a little silver, and he can't afford this isolated island at all.
"Sister-in-law's?"
Gu Yan expressed his shock, he knew that Tao Xi was smart, but he never thought that Tao Xi was in charge of all the family.
Tao Xi also took the deed and glanced at it, "Lord Gu, this isolated island can't only have ten taels of silver."
You still sell it to me at the market price, and you can give some discounts appropriately, and we have to write it clearly in black and white. ”
If she takes it for nothing, what if the island she built is good enough, what if they take it back?
Tao Xi is not stupid and sweet, and he doesn't want to make wedding dresses for others.
Gu Yan was stunned, he didn't expect the husband and wife's request to be so strange, he asked again;
"Are you sure you only write your sister-in-law's name?"
"Sure."
Jian Shiming is very determined, what belongs to him, he will work hard to earn it in the future.
But it's also a lady's to earn it back, but the share that belongs to the lady should be his mother's.
Jian Shiming looked at his younger brothers and sisters after speaking, and the younger brothers and sisters were all firm, obviously agreeing with his thoughts.
Gu Yan took a deep breath and looked at Tao Xi again: "Sister-in-law are you sure you want to buy that island?" ”
With more than 300 acres of land, Dafeng's land is not expensive, but it also costs one or two silver per acre, which is not cheap for Jian Shiming.
This was specially given to them by Gu Yan.
Tao Xi's expression was firm, "Sure, in addition, if I can, I want to buy this back mountain as well." ”
Tao Xi pointed to the back mountain behind them, only the mountains were hers, and no one would gossip no matter how they got the road back and forth.
Gu Yan: ......
His eyes were about to bulge out in shock, and he went to look at Jian Shiming, but Jian Shiming silently agreed with Tao Xi's words.
That is, he doesn't have any opinions?
Gu Yan took a deep breath, "There are thousands of acres in this back mountain, but it's not cheap. ”
"Hmm."
Tao Xi thought for a while, so he said, "Then buy half of the mountain behind our house, and don't buy it from Lishu Village." ”
Buying too much is easy to provoke suspicion, but there is also a lot of atmosphere in half the mountain, and Gu Yanren is numb.
But facing Tao Xi and Jian Shiming's serious eyes, it was still difficult to speak.
"Then I have to go to Yunxian County to get you a new deed."
"It just so happens that I'm going to Yunxian County to exchange for silver, so let's go together."
Tao Xi was already a little impatient, she wanted to have her own personal property.
Jian Shiming got up and put on his coat, "Brother Gu, then let's go to Yunxian together." ”
"Okay."
The corners of Gu Yan's mouth twitched, they were really the first ones to send silver in such a hurry.
So Tao Xi told her younger brothers and sisters to take care of the house at home, and she and Jian Shiming drove the ox cart to Yunxian County.
Gu Yan took them to the yamen of Yun County, and took out the county order to change the deed for them.
The master flicked the abacus and grinned: "The land on the isolated island is not valuable, half a tael of silver per acre, a total of three hundred and forty acres, a total of one hundred and seventy taels."
The land in the mountains behind you has not been measured for the time being, and we calculate it according to 1,000 mu, one tael of silver per mu, a total of 1,000 taels.
In the end, the Dragon Palace was 1,170 taels, and the adults said that they would go to your back mountain in the afternoon to measure the land. ”
Tao Xi glanced at Jian Shiming, and saw that he had helped carefully check the contract, so he bowed slightly.
"Yes."
Tao Xi signed his name on the deed, and took out a thousand taels of silver tickets from his pocket, which were obtained from selling Gu Yan's grain, as well as those looted in the cottage before.
In addition, Tao Xi also took out a cloth bag, which contained two hundred taels of broken silver and copper plates in bits and pieces.
This is what she usually gets from selling grain, and she can't let the county order and Gu Yan think that she is very rich, so she frowned in distress.
"My lord, it's just right."
Master Gu Yanhe: ......
The two looked at the silver tickets and silver piled up on the table, and sighed silently in their hearts, are all the countrymen so rich now?
As if expecting their thoughts, Tao Xi frowned and said, "I don't know when the imperial examination will resume, so I will save it for the travel expenses of the Xianggong to catch the exam."
Then the weather got better, and I was able to earn money again. ”
She deliberately sighed depressedly, but in the eyes of Master and Gu Yan, this was obviously very good.
After all, the average countryman can have a deposit of ten taels of silver at home, and the woman who is already in charge of the house will run the house.
Jian Shiming smiled and said: "My lady has always been thrifty, and she helped a noble person before, and that person rewarded my lady a lot. ”
Coupled with the reward that Gu Yan sent, it was no wonder that Tao Xi was so generous.
Gu Yan expressed his understanding for a while, and was very sincere to the two of them:
"Last year was a disaster year, and the shops in Yunxian County are now much empty, so if you buy them, it's very cost-effective."
Tao Xi's eyes lit up, but he quickly held back and said, "Our family's silver is not enough, alas! ”
Gu Yan: ......
He looked at her brighter than anything else.
Thinking of the things that were rewarded last night, Gu Yan handed the deed to Tao Xi, and said:
"There are still some things that King Jing rewarded you with last time, so do you want to take them away this time?"
"Good!"
Tao Xi's heart was full of joy, and after leaving the county office, he followed Gu Yan to the inn, and waited to see many pear wood boxes in the house.
There were women's jewelry, men's clothes, fabrics, and even rare pen, ink, paper, and inkstones in the box, and Tao Xi immediately lost his eyes with happiness.
"The prince is really polite, and we didn't help anything."
Jian Shiming also said a few words politely, and Gu Yan, who looked at the two couples who were obsessed with money, smacked his mouth speechlessly.
"You need us to escort you back to the village."
"No, no, we can both of us."
Tao Xi didn't want to make the villagers blush so much, she planned to throw things into the space when she left the village.
Presumably Jian Shiming would not object, he really did not object, and obeyed Tao Xi's words.
Gu Yi led people to carry things onto their ox cart, but Gu Yan was still a little uneasy.
"Brother Jane, don't you really need our escort?"
