Chapter 13 Understanding

Jiang Zhixia was recuperating from his injuries while slowly adding all kinds of small things to his new home.

After more than ten days, Jiang Zhixia looked at the sixty taels of silver, and the remaining thirty taels began to be confused, why did the money spend so quickly?

I didn't buy anything big.

That is, there is no shortage of meat every day, eat all vegetables, and occasionally buy some snacks. The desk is empty, buy a vase and arrange flowers.

Counting such a miscellaneous amount, it does cost a lot. Although there are no large items, there are a lot of bits and pieces that accumulate a lot. But I didn't feel how luxurious I was.

Zhixia also understands why in the Dream of Red Mansions, there are so few servants, but they can live so luxuriously.

It's not, food, clothing, housing and transportation, the main family is all-inclusive. The money is all spent on this. Wages are in the minority.

I understand it even more, sure enough, it's not easy to live in the capital. Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea, oh, there is no tea yet, just these daily necessities, all that is consumed every day is money.

Looking at himself who had recovered from his injuries and was a little mellow, Jiang Zhixia finally decided that he was already at peace and it was time to start working.

Jiang Zhixia put on his hat and arrived at the mouth of the alley, just in time to see a carriage that had just gotten off the people. I hired it and came to Changlong Tooth Store again. This time, I still found Liu Po last time and said that I wanted to buy land.

Last time, Liu Po earned a sum of money from Jiang Zhixia, and saw that Jiang Zhixia was easy-going, polite, and not picky, so she had a good impression. This time, when I saw that she was going to buy land, I became even more enthusiastic.

"The girl has chosen the right place to buy land, and in these years, buying land is fundamental. No matter what the market, if there is land, there will be food to eat. Liu Po is used to observing words and feelings, and when she sees a few words of small talk, Zhixia just laughs, but does not interject, so she knows that Zhixia is not interested in small talk, and quickly introduces the situation of the land outside the capital.

Because the land outside the capital is close to the capital, the land price is more expensive.

The high-grade fields should be sold for ten taels of silver per mu, the medium-class fields would also cost seven taels of silver, and the low-grade fields would be sold for two or three taels.

Because of the proximity to the capital, most of the land outside the capital is ownerial. For example, royalty, honorables, all kinds of officials. Only a small portion can be bought and sold. The location is a bit more remote.

"I don't know what the girl's budget is?" Liu Po asked with a smile.

"I bought a house, and I don't have a lot of money in my hand, and the budget is only about two hundred taels. Don't know if there's a suitable one? Zhixia asked softly.

Liu Po pondered for a while and said, "The girl came by coincidence. I have a family who has just come and wants to sell his land, and his family does not have much land, and the high-quality field is only ten acres, and the medium field is five acres, with a small Zhuangzi, although the Zhuangzi is not big, it also occupies an additional two acres of land. The Lord's house is for two hundred and twenty taels. The price is really low. If it weren't for something happening at the seller's house and he urgently needed money, he wouldn't have been able to sell it so cheaply. To put it mildly, this place is not looked down upon by nobles; Merchant families are generally wandering around, and they are easily reluctant to buy property outside their hometowns; The average person in the neighborhood can't take it down. After all, last winter, the northland was hit by a heavy snowstorm, and even our capital was greatly affected. If the girl wants to buy it, it is just right. ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Liu. Can I go check it out first? "Zhixia is really excited.

This price is a bit more than the previous budget. However, she has also learned about it from the side, and knows that suitable land is hard to find, let alone this side of the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

"Naturally, you can. I'll show you there. Seeing that there was hope for the sale, Liu Po hurriedly arranged the carriage of Yaxing and took Zhixia to the seller outside the capital.

That place is about sixty or seventy miles away from the capital. Riding a carriage out of the south gate of the capital, first take the avenue, and then turn the trail. The carriage on the avenue was quite fast. Turning to the trail, the road was bumpy because of the potholes, and the speed slowed down.

I walked for more than half an hour before I arrived at the small village.
