Chapter 142: Buying a House
Guo Yuanzhen looked at Liu Chu who went out with a smile, but the next moment he was grabbed by Wandoudou's ears.
"What are you doing? Letting go, it hurts, it hurts. Guo Yuanzhen tilted his head, and his ears were already red.
"Is it the end of the day?" Wandoudou looked like a tigress.
"It's over, it's all settled today. Guo Yuanzhen said hurriedly.
"Can I go back to it? I haven't been home for half a year. Wan Doudou asked, a little sad.
"Yes, next month will be your father's sixtieth birthday, so I will pick out some expensive good things for him. Guo Yuanzhen said.
"It's a bit of a conscience, I can remember my father's birthday, let's go drink ginger soup. Wan Doudou let go of his hand with satisfaction.
Guo Yuanzhen rubbed his ears, ran to the table and picked up the ginger soup and drank it.
"That young man just now is Liu Chu. Guo Yuanzhen said.
"Liu Chu?" Wan Doudou was stunned for a moment.
"He's the son of a general?"
"Yes, you may have been patient just now, but you actually preached the son of the general, your father probably didn't dare. Guo Yuanzhen laughed.
"So what? If his character is not good and he disappoints the little girl, I will still scold him. Wan Doudou snorted softly.
Guo Yuanzhen smiled, and he liked the character of his daughter-in-law.
Although Wan Doudou's words are straightforward, she can also distinguish the occasion and choose what to say, this is a woman whose personality is mixed between reason and emotion.
Liu Chu walked to the door of the room, raised his hand several times and was about to knock on the door, but put it down again, because he really didn't know how to face October for a while.
Crunch.
Unsuspectingly, the door actually opened, and Liu Chu beckoned to Liu Chu, who was standing at the door stupidly, "Come in." ”
After Liu Chu reacted, he touched his nose and felt that this scene was a little weird, why did he look like a bad boy in a woman's boudoir?
After entering the door, October was already sitting on the bed, Liu Chu looked at October, October pointed to the ground in front of him, Liu Chu found that a quilt had been laid on the ground, there was a straw mat under the quilt to separate the moisture on the ground, and there was a thick quilt on the straw mat, which was already carefully prepared.
"I'm ......," Liu Chu opened his mouth.
"Sleep. October didn't give Liu Chu a chance to continue, so he lay on the bed and pulled the quilt and began to sleep.
Liu Chu smiled bitterly, walked to the table and blew out the candles, touched the darkness and glanced at October who was lying on the bed, and then walked to the ground and lay down.
Liu Chu pillowed his arms with his head on his head, looking at the beam in a daze, the relationship between men and women seemed to be a little annoying.
"Damn, what are you doing?"
On the second day, Liu Chu woke up from his sleep, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a face leaning in front of him, almost touching his face.
October hurriedly stood up, and Liu Chu also stood up and looked at October with red cheeks blankly.
Knock knock.
"Brother Liu, have you gotten up?" At this time, Guo Yuanzhen's voice sounded outside the door.
"Get up, Brother Guo. Liu Chu answered, then got up from the bunk, straightened his clothes and went to open the door.
As soon as Liu Chu opened the door, Wan Doudou rushed in, ran to the back and took October's hand and chatted.
Liu Chu glanced at it, turned his head speechlessly, looked at Guo Yuanzhen, and said, "Brother Guo, I'm ready to leave, just to say goodbye to you." ”
"After the matter is dealt with on my side, I also want to leave for a trip back to Bingzhou, and I will give you a ride along the way?" asked Guo Yuanzhen.
"No, I'd like to take a walk. Liu Chu declined.
Guo Yuanzhen glanced at Liu Chu's back, Liu Chu turned his head, and saw Wan Doudou and October looking at him at the same time, October was flushed, and Wan Doudou was also smiling.
Looking at these two women, Liu Chu suddenly felt a little afraid.
The four of them had breakfast together, and then Guo Yuanzhen and Wan Doudou left in a carriage.
"Where are we going next?" asked October.
"I don't know, let's go wherever I go. "Liu Chu really doesn't have any plans, Da Wei is too big, and it will take several years to complete it all for the purpose of traveling.
"Let's go to Peach Blossom City, it's not far from here, I want to go and prepare something for the uncles of the dart board. October said.
"Okay, listen to you, let's go get a map first. Liu Chu nodded.
"I'll keep the map. Thinking that the previous map was ruined by Liu Chu, October hurriedly said.
"......" Liu Chu couldn't refuse.
Peach Blossom City is sixty miles east of Fujia City, strictly speaking, Peach Blossom City can also be regarded as a border city, the city wall here is indeed tall, in the plan of the imperial court, it can be used as a wartime war preparation city, if the food is enough, it can allow an army of 50,000 people to hold it for two years.
Peach Blossom City is famous for peach blossoms, there are peach trees in the city, and some peach trees have mutated varieties, generally the ripening month of peaches is from June to September, but some peach trees in Peach Blossom City, the ripening months of peaches are from September to December.
Therefore, in the Peach Blossom City, you can enjoy the peach blossoms for most of the year.
"The scenery of this Peach Blossom City is really good, and the air is good. ”
Two days later, Liu Chu and October arrived in Peach Blossom City, and when they entered the city, they smelled a faint fragrance, which was the unique smell of freshly formed peaches.
"Well, so I'm going to buy a few houses here, and when the uncles in the dart game are old, they can come here to retire. October said.
"You're here to buy a house?" Liu Chu was a little stunned.
"Yes, my father and I had this plan, and my uncles have dedicated their lives to the game, so we have to have a good home. October said.
"Uncle Yun is really affectionate and righteous. Liu Chu said.
"Where are you going to find a residence?" Liu Chu then asked.
"Go to the government and see where there are vacant houses. October said.
All residences and house owners will be registered with the local government, and at that time in Chang'an City, Liu Chu changed Fenggong Building to his own name, which was also a procedure for going to the government.
The two came to the local yamen and explained their intentions to the officials, who asked them to wait for a while, and then ran in to make the ceremony.
Wang Tu has been in the position of the county lord of Peach Blossom City for more than ten years, and he has made countless money in these ten years, because Peach Blossom City is a livable city that can rank in the top 20 in the entire Great Wei, so the residential business here is extremely hot.
If you want to buy and sell a house, you can't bypass the procedure of the county government, and the registration book of the house sale and purchase is to pay a handling fee, but Wang Tu tripled the handling fee in order to make money, and the extra ones were all filled by Wang Tu.
With this large amount of ill-gotten gains, Wang Tu's small life can be regarded as nourishing.
Of course he was not afraid, because Peach Blossom City was a planned wartime wartime preparation city, so the imperial court would rarely send people to inspect here, and most of the supervision was handed over to the Western Frontier Army.
However, these people who lead troops to fight wars are training and training every day, so how can they have any spare time to manage a city? This gave Wang Tu the opportunity to exploit loopholes, and Wang Tu felt that he was the emperor of the soil here!
"The lost Lao Tzu is clever, and every year he donates one hundred taels of silver to the Western Frontier Army in his personal name. My annual salary is 120 taels, and in the eyes of outsiders, I am a good official who is honest and honest and cares about my family and country. Whenever Wang Tu thought of his own approach, he was a little embarrassed.
"I don't know how the little beauty is, it should be almost, I can have fun with her tonight." ”
Wang Tu arrested a woman from a good family two days ago, and was locked up in his private house. After two days of detaining her, he felt that he should make the young woman lose her temper, and that he could go over to the young woman tonight for a fish-and-water fun.
"County lord, two young couples have come here to buy a house. The official ran in and reported to Wang Tu.
"Oh, how does it look, do you have purchasing power?" asked Wang Tu.
"He looks very young, but he is very polite, probably from a big family in other places. The official judged.
"Yes, if it's really from a big local family, it's a fat fish. Wang Tu laughed.
He likes people from big families in this kind of place, and after he sells his house, he can think of some reasons to forcibly take it back, so that he can make a lot of money. Anyway, the people who came from the place have no foundation in Peach Blossom City, and the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, even if their people find it, Wang Tu is not afraid.
Liu Chu and October Xiao waited for a while, and the official ran out, took the two inside, and came to the reception room at the back.
Soon, a slightly wealthy middle-aged man walked out with a standard officialdom smile on his face.
"Hello two, I am Wang Tu, the county lord of this Peach Blossom City. Wang Tu introduced himself.
"I've seen Lord Wang. "Liu Chu and October made a salute.
"Well, I heard that you are going to buy a house?" Wang Tu asked.
"Yes. October nodded.
Wang Tu looked at October, it seems that this little girl is the one who is the leader in buying a house this time, he looked at Liu Chu again, and said in his heart, "Isn't this kid eating soft rice?"
"Are the two of you local?" Wang Tu pretended to ask, in fact, by listening to the accent, he knew that Liu Chu and October were not locals.
"It's not. October shook his head.
"Our Peach Blossom City, the limited purchase policy, is not local, we can only buy three residences, and the handling fee for each change of the owner of the residence is 10% of the purchase price of the residence. Wang Tu said.
Liu Chu frowned, this handling fee is so expensive, in other places, the handling fee is more than half cheaper.
"Lord Wang, this fee is too expensive, isn't it?" said October.
"No way, unless you are from this city, it can only be this price, this is the rule set above, and I can't break it. Unless......" Wang Tu wanted to speak and stopped.
"Unless what?" asked October.
"Unless you buy three homes at once, I can apply with the above and give you some discounts. Wang Tu said.
"Can I get a discount if I buy more?" asked October.
"Yes, if it's a big customer, the above will be more or less accommodating. Wang Tu smiled and nodded.
"What about I buy 30 three-bedroom houses with small courtyards, and how much can I get for the fees and prices?" asked October.
"Thirty dwellings. What?30?" Wang Tu reacted, his eyes widening in surprise.
However, surprise was quickly replaced by greed, and if it did work out, how much silver could he make?
