The purchase and sale of land is under the control of the government, but the officials above actually don’t care about these trivial matters, they are all managed by the lower officials. The lower officials are people who are literate but have not read the Book of Sages. purse.
It cost 100 taels to buy the land, and another 10 taels to bribe the officials.
The clerk was a Han Chinese and spoke Chinese. Although he had a slight southern accent, Lin Yuan could still understand it.
"That piece of land is good." The little official called Jiang Gui, and he pursed his mouth, "Although it is a wasteland, it is fat. I also see your sincerity."
Lin Yuan was very able to bend and stretch, and handed the little official a note with a hundred words on it: "I don't know if there are any big families around."
Jiang Gui looked at Lin Yuan's talk, and his attitude was good. In addition to being young and smiling, he also made a lot of money, and his tone became more affectionate: "I think you are young, so I chose the land for you. They're far away, so be careful, don't look for trouble."
"However, if it's cold today, if you want to build a house, I'm afraid you will have to wait until the spring to lay the foundation." Jiang Gui, "I don't usually tell people this, because you are young and cheerful. , that's just two words to tell you."
Lin Yuan cupped his hands: "Thank you sir."
Jiang Gui waved his hand: "I'm a small official, where can I call an adult, just call me Brother Jiang. If you have something to come to me again, I will live in Tongluo Alley, and the third household is my home."
Lin Yuan is fluent in kindness: "I don't dare to talk about Brother Jiang."
"Where do you usually live?" Jiang Gui received a bribe of 12,000 wen, and he was in a good mood. His monthly salary was consistent, and he liked wine and meat on weekdays. Not to mention, these twelve are enough for him to live happily for two or three months.
Lin Yuan: "The guest restaurant in the north of the city."
Jiang Gui thought for a while: "So, I have a neighbor, his family moved to Jiangnan last year, but the house was not sold, and an old servant was left to guard the gate. I told his relatives, you move in and rent the house. Monthly payment, what do you think?"
Lin Yuan hesitated: "I just bought the land, and I don't have much money..."
"You call me Brother Sheng, and I'm still trying to fool you?" Jiang Gui waved his hand. "The monthly rent is two units. If you think you can live, the spring will start in March."
Liang Guan is not too much. Lin Yuan has also inspected the housing price market in Wucheng these few days. The price is high, but Tongluo Alley is a lively area. There are everything sold nearby, and life is convenient. This price is not a loss. .
"Thank you, Brother Jiang, when do you think I'll move in?"
Jiang Gui: "It's okay to move today. I'm in Youzheng Ya. You wait for me then, and I'll take you there."
After it was settled, Lin Yuan didn't give the banknotes, and Jiang Gui didn't ask. Anyway, he gave them after they passed. Although Jiang Gui was greedy for money, he also knew that he couldn't eat all the fat in one bite, so he left some room, and he would have a relationship in the future.
The little servant knew that Lin Yuan had found the house, and quickly packed up his things, but he was very excited and in a good mood: "I still have to buy things for the young master, and I haven't brought the four treasures of the study, so I have to reset it! Do you know if there are any over there, but if you want me to tell me, the young master should buy a girl, there are some chores, and the girl does it meticulously."
"Isn't there?" Lin Yuan said, "Just the mother and son before."
He let the mother and son settle in the ruined temple first, and let them use the ragged quilt before, and then pick it up when he finds a house.
Boys can do what they can, and mothers can clean the house and cook for them by the way.
Although Lin Yuan didn't touch the spring water with ten fingers like the original owner, he lived in the city since he was a child and only used natural gas. Now he really can't use this kind of stove, and the servant can't cook.
Lin Yuan was willing to buy them and give them food, clothes and clothes, but he couldn't do good deeds and raise people too lazy to do it.
People have a sense of belonging because they earn what they need to live.
"Young master is still smart." The boy patted his forehead, "Why didn't I think of it!"
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Then you are the young master."
Lin Yuan had a smile on his face, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart. He only had two hundred taels. During this time, he lived in a restaurant and bought ready-made clothes. The daily expenses were counted together, and he spent nearly two taels of silver, which was still in his hands case.
It cost 100 taels to buy the land, 11 taels for bribes, 87 taels for the rest, and 81 taels for renting the house for three months.
It would cost at least fifty taels to build a bigger house.
The tenant farms the land, but he has to provide the seeds and tools...
You have to find a place to get money, otherwise even if you get all the seed farming tools, what will the tenants eat? Farming is not the same day, and the harvest can be harvested the next day. Can’t everyone drink the northwest wind to survive the day
These days, business is the fastest way to get money, but it is troublesome to enter the business registration. It is not the problem of failing to take the imperial examinations. The main reason is that the taxation is too heavy. You can't move around at will, you have to bring a guide when you go to other places, go to the government to ask for documents, a lot of trouble.
In the Yuan Dynasty, the local owner was the happiest profession, no one.
Zhu Yuanzhang's wife, Ma Dajiao, is the daughter of the landlord. In the early days of Zhu Yuanzhang, he made his fortune from the landlord. Otherwise, where would the money come from
People usually go to work at seven o'clock in the morning. In fact, it was originally just the time when officials went to court. Mao Shi refers to this time period. Later, it became common.
Lin Yuan and the servant packed everything, checked out of the room, and waited at the yamen gate early.
"The house is cleaned up, and the old servant cleans it every day. Because you came here, I asked the old servant to go to his relatives." Jiang Gui pushed open the door, "There is a well at the street, where we usually draw water. "
Lin Yuan looked around in the house and was very satisfied. The house was not big. One went in and one went out. There is a cellar, although it is small, it is enough to store the rations of a small family.
The main room is a connecting room. The curtains separate two spaces. One side is used to entertain guests and eat, and the other side is the master bedroom, where the bed and furniture are placed. It's a bit like a modern one-bedroom, and it's quite large.
The penthouse is smaller, about the size of a normal bedroom, and has a bed, but there is no furniture, and two adults can lie down on the bed.
Lin Yuan neatly paid the rent for three months.
Jiang Gui looked at the banknotes, thinking about the amount of money he could draw, and was very satisfied.
"I'll be a neighbor in the future, just ask me if I have something to do." Jiang Gui put the money in his pocket and smiled sincerely.
Lin Yuan said quickly, "Brother Jiang, I have something to discuss with you! Come, let's sit down and say, two taels, go and pour two glasses of water."
The servant's name is Erliang: "Just go."
Jiang Gui sat on the chair, a little strange: "What's the matter?"
Lin Yuan's attitude was very good: "Brother Jiang also knows that I am not rich, and I have to build a house in the spring. There are many places to spend money, but there is no place to make money."
When Jiang Gui heard this, he sighed: "You asked the wrong person. If I had a way, would I still earn this hard money?"
"It's said that strong dragons don't overwhelm local snakes." Lin Yuan flattered, "Although the people think that the officials are the ones in charge, I know clearly that it's Brother Jiang, you little officials, who are the officials above. Knowing that the people's livelihood is suffering, is it not up to you to take care of it?"
Jiang Gui felt that these words were easy to hear: "You can't say that. You can't say that when you go out. We all depend on the official for a living."
Lin Yuan: "It's just the two of us here. There's nothing we can't say. What the younger brother says is from the bottom of his heart, without any hypocrisy."
Jiang Gui: "I don't hide it from you. I have been a small official for so many years. I have seen everyone, even the big masters. I don't see as many people. There are also jobs that come with money. I'm afraid you won't dare to do it."
Lin Yuan climbed up the pole: "Brother Jiang please give pointers."
Jiang Gui suddenly said seriously: "It doesn't count, do you know the casinos in the city? Put Yinzi to know?"
Of course Lin Yuan knew that this was usury in the popular sense.
"Brother Jiang." Lin Yuan pretended to be hesitant, "Now the world is not good, can I get it back after I put it on?"
Jiang Guichong blinked his eyes at Lin Yuan: "If you trust me, I will help you. There is a handle in the south of the city, who specializes in helping people collect debts. They are all good hands, and they are murderers who lick blood with the tip of a knife."
This Jiang Gui is simply a black and white eater, and it can be mixed into a tyrant in modern times!
He also knows how to get closer and help himself a little by taking his own benefits. If this person is still alive in a troubled world, he might really be able to do something.
Lin Yuan: "Brother Jiang, I have to think about it, those gamblers are in a hurry, I'm afraid they will cut me off, look at me, there is a servant next to me, I'm timid and afraid of death!"
Jiang Gui laughed: "Little brother Lin, you are daring and starving to death. You can think about it again. If you want to do it, you can find me. I will go back first, and the mother-in-law is waiting for me to eat."
Lin Yuan sent Jiang Gui to the door, and the two exchanged a few words and agreed to meet frequently when they had time.
When Jiang Gui left, the servant boy came back with a bucket.
Only then did Lin Yuan remember that there was no water at home and no pot for boiling water, um...
In winter, what can I do to get money? It's not good to make a copy, it goes against the basic morality that Lin Yuan cultivated in modern times. Although he knew that it was a huge profit, Lin Yuan still gave up this choice while bleeding in his heart.
Lin Yuan suddenly asked, "Two taels, if you have a little money, what would you buy?"
Erliang was wiping the table, and he disliked the old servant for not wiping it cleanly. As soon as Lin Yuan asked, he said casually, "Buy meat to eat, fat meat."
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up!
to make!
Find the target.
The ancients were short of oil and water. At this time, there was no modern feed for pigs, and there was no special pig farm, so lard was not enough. Although vegetable oil began to be eaten in the Song Dynasty, sesame oil extraction has always dominated.
At that time, the method of squeezing oil was used all the time. The oil yield of soybeans was very low by this method. Later, with the method of soaking oil, the oil yield became higher, and the limelight was overwhelmed by sesame.
Nowadays, the common people can't afford animal fats and oils, and sesame oil is rising fast. Small households use chopsticks to wrap a cloth and smear a pan with oil when cooking.
Lin Yuan: "Are soybeans expensive?"
Erliang is someone who has been to the market anyway: "Five cents a pound is cheap."
Yes, soy oil.
Lin Yuan is full of confidence, watching me make a lot of money.
As for business registration, isn't there a local snake like Jiang Gui
The author has something to say: "Bear the handle": the head of the underworld.
Regarding vegetable oil, rapeseed oil extraction was a matter of the mid-Ming Dynasty. Even if Lin Yuan wanted to extract its oil, there are not many people now, and the raw materials are not available.
After planting, it will definitely be planted, after all, rapeseed has a high oil yield.
The Song Dynasty used sesame oil. When the Song Dynasty was the most prosperous, pancakes could appear on the stalls. The Song Dynasty, a dynasty that was as rich as the world, had a GDP accounting for 60 to 80 percent of the world's GDP during the same period. dynasty.
Pity.
