"What are you doing with such a large sum of money to enter the county government? If you want to go, you should go to Yinzhuang, right? But what's the matter? ”

When he asked, Ye Yu didn't hide it, and said the purpose of going to the county office.

"There is indeed something, A-Niang and I went to the county government to rent the Baoshan Island where we live now."

"Rent an island, ......"

The second elder didn't know much about this piece, but he was still kind.

"Then I'll let Lao Lu send you over, don't say anything else, look at the deed or something, he can be more down-to-earth."

Ye Yu didn't expect this, and suddenly said in surprise: "That's great, trouble the shopkeeper Lu!" ”

"It's a small thing, I'm going to set a car."

The pawnshop has its own carriage and horses, which saves the mother and daughter a lot of time.

Nian Erye is right, Shopkeeper Lu is indeed very familiar with the county government. When he entered the county office, he followed up his own home, and he didn't have to stop the car by himself, and led the mother and daughter all the way to the office of the clerks.

Ye Yu saw at a glance Liu Wenwen, who had patiently answered his question before, and he didn't seem to be very busy at this moment.

Before the mother and daughter could speak, they noticed a few of their documents and immediately greeted the shopkeeper Lu warmly, and brought them a stool.

Although the shopkeeper Lu is just a commoner, who calls his owner the brother-in-law of the county master. The county lord and his wife are extremely affectionate, and they take their brother-in-law almost as a son, so his people naturally have to be treated well.

Shopkeeper Lu coped with it before returning to the mother and daughter.

Liu Wenwen is a kind person, and the relationship between the shopkeeper Lu is even more attentive to Ye Yu's mother and daughter, and he is very careful about renting the island.

"Miss Ye, I told you before about the price of renting an island, at least three thousand taels. Three thousand taels is the money for renting Baoshan Island for five years, not including taxes. ”

"Tax money? Account tax? ”

Ye Yu didn't pay attention to it, there were only three people on the island, and there was no pressure to pay taxes.

Liu Wenwen smiled and replied: "The account tax must be paid, and there are other taxes." Once the island is leased, all taxes on the island will have to be paid. This is the previous record of Baoshan Island, which has a total of 3,230 acres of land. There are 446 acres of fertile land that can be cultivated, 430 acres of dry land, 2,106 acres of forest land, and the rest of the beaches, tidal flats, reef forests, not to mention those that do not need to pay taxes. The first three types of land are subject to tax, and March and September are the time to pay taxes every year, so don't forget it. ”

Ye Yu: "......"

"By the way, if you rent an island, the forests on the island have a standard of loss every year, and you have to make up the wood money if you exceed it, and you can't cut it as much as you want. Unless you buy the island and become the real owner. ”

Liu Wenzi carefully explained all aspects of the island to the mother and daughter clearly.

"Do you still want to rent an island after hearing this?"

Ye Yu blinked, although the taxes of many places made her worried, she still firmly said that she wanted to rent the island.

Only by renting Baoshan Island can you have a clean life. There is no need to worry about the taxes of those lands for the time being, anyway, it is only five years, and the remaining money in hand is enough to pay taxes.

"We're sure we're going to lease Baoshan Island."

After Ye Yu finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the sea area problem that Sister Sang had said to him before, and hurriedly asked a few questions.

"Huh? I didn't expect it, Miss Ye, you know a lot. ”

The island can be rented or bought, and the sea area is naturally possible.

"The price of renting a sea area is not cheaper than that of an island, after all, you don't have to pay taxes on the catch in your own waters. The sea objects under the sea swim around, and there is never a shortage of freshness, and renting it is a steady stream of income. ”

In fact, these are all imaginary, as long as there is a ship, you can catch seafood anywhere, and the county government has no eyes on the sea. Renting the sea is just a multi-point autonomy that allows others not to enter.

"How much is that? Baoshan Island has a sea area of five zhang (16.67 meters). ”

"Wuzhang...... I do the math. ”

Liu Wenwen picked up the abacus and crackled for a while.

"If the sea area within a radius of five zhang is leased for five years, it will be a total of 1,320 taels, and if you add Baoshan Island, it will be 4,320 taels."

Xu swallowed nervously, mother, half of the money he had just earned was gone before it was hot.

Ye Yu was just about to nod, noticing Liu Wenwen's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping.

"Liu Wenwen has something else to mention, even if he says it."

"It's not a big point, it's just that since Miss Ye wants to rent Baoshan Island, why not rent the two small islands before and after it? In this way, once the sea is leased, outsiders will no longer be able to set foot without your permission. ”

Two small islands in front and back?

Liu Wenwen didn't mention it, Ye Yu had to forget about those two small islands.

Speaking of which, she had docked on the two islands before, and there was no water source on them, and there were many trees, which were simply a paradise for seabirds. I've only seen it cursory before, but I don't know if those two islands are worth renting.

"Miss Ye and your mother should discuss it, and I will prepare the deed."

Ye Yu looked back at A-Niang, and A-Niang, who was not surprised, let her make up her own mind. She turned her head to look at Shopkeeper Lu again, trying to ask his opinion.

Shopkeeper Lu remembered a little old story, and replied after a while: "If you have enough money, you can rent it and take a look." ”

There may be surprises to come.

In fact, Ye Yu also tends to rent it, and when Shopkeeper Lu said this, she was even more determined.

In the end, he paid a total of 6,420 taels of silver to lease Baoshan Island and the two small islands in front of and behind it, plus a sea area with a radius of five zhang.

"Miss Ye, wait a minute, such a large contract needs the seal of the county master, I will come when I go."

Liu Wenwen handled several thousands of silver coins today, and the smile on his face couldn't be stopped. Hurried all the way to find the county master, stamped it, and hurried back to let Xu press his handprint.

Shopkeeper Lu checked it and made sure that there was no problem, and then Xu made a move. The deed was written in duplicate, one was placed at the county office, and the other was given to the mother and daughter.

With the fresh deed in their hands, the mother and daughter looked at it over and over for a while before they had a sense of realism.

They really rented the island! Don't worry about being driven away, and don't worry about anyone daring to go to the island to make trouble!

Now that Baoshan Island has been temporarily owned by them, as long as they come to make trouble, they are too safe.

"Miss Ye, the documents that have been rented out from Baoshan Island will soon be distributed to the villages, do you want to keep your names secret?"

Ye Yu shook his head.

Their family lives on Baoshan Island, and everyone knows that they rented it if they keep it secret. has the seal of the government, and no one dares to find fault with it. If you meet a villager in the future, you will directly say that you picked up a piece of ambergris and sold it for money, anyway, it is not unheard of before.

Who calls your own family lucky?

I don't know how Grandma, who has been scolding herself and A-Niang for being a disaster star, will feel when she hears this news.

I guess I'll be angry like a frog~
