Chapter 16 Purchase of the first property (for collection)
Hearing Xiao Qi said that he wanted to buy land, without further ado, Zhang Xiu took out all the silver left to them by his father.
Xiao Qi quickly stopped her and told her to put it away.
Tell her that the land is very cheap now, and the money left by her parents is enough to buy a lot of land, and you put those away for emergencies.
After discussing with Zhang Xiu, Xiao Qi began to inquire about where there is a suitable Zhuangzi nearby.
This inquiry shocked him. He did not expect that this small Jurong County would be surrounded by so many local rich people.
It's just that there are more than a dozen of them who want to sell more than one hundred acres of land.
On the contrary, there are not many tens of acres, and there are no ten or twenty acres at all. It is estimated that even if those people know that they sell those properties, the money will probably be spent elsewhere, so it is better to stay and see the situation.
On the contrary, those rich and powerful families are more anxious to sell those properties. For them, it is most important to get out of the dangerous place as soon as possible.
Xiao Qi only went to inquire about the news a few times, but before he found out if there was a suitable Zhuangzi to sell, he was approached by someone.
It turned out to be a wealthy family in this county. The two brothers made a lot of money in business, and they had already bought a huge family property in Fujian, which is further south.
There is also a [-]-acre village here that they bought when they first got rich. Their parents were reluctant to leave their hometown and lived here for the elderly.
The two brothers who had been doing business were well informed, and they learned that there was going to be a big battle between the Kingdom of Jin and the Song Dynasty this time. When they got the news, they left the second child to take care of the business there.
The boss hired a lot of people and cars, and hurried here to pick up his family and go to the south to avoid disaster.
Arriving here, I was packing up the household goods, when the person who was sent out to sell the property came back suddenly, saying that someone was looking for someone nearby who was selling Zhuangzi.
The boss of this family has been doing business all year round, so how could he not guess that someone wanted to buy Zhuangzi.
Nowadays, there are so many wealthy households who buy houses and fields and go south, he is afraid that this person will buy someone else's first.
So someone led him to inquire about Xiao Qi's residence, and came directly to the door.
This person has been doing business all the year round, and he knows how to give up. In addition, the two brothers have already established a huge property in the south.
In the past, each of the two brothers had to leave one of them to take care of the property over there, while the other came to visit their parents.
The distance is so far, I have long thought about taking my parents away, instead of going back and forth every year, it is so troublesome to delay two months of time on the road.
Just taking advantage of this opportunity, I took my parents away and never came back.
On the one hand, this person is really in a hurry to leave, on the other hand, he has been doing big business for many years and doesn't care how much he will lose this time.
Every year I go back and forth, and I still have to worry about the safety of taking a few nurses with me on the road. The number of people who go back and forth every year eat horse chews is not a small number.
So when this person saw Xiao Qi, he said a few polite words and got straight to the point:
"My village is 210 and three acres, plus the house on the village and sold to my little brother, 600 taels of silver is enough.
Little brother, you can follow me to have a look, that house has just been repaired, and I can't take any furniture inside.
I gave it to my little brother together. If it hadn't been for this war, the house and household items needed to build the house in the past few years would have cost more than 600 taels. "
Xiao Qi was very moved after hearing this.
Not because it's cheap, but because they're gone and never come back.
Anyway, although selling you signed paintings at this time is both willing.
If I come back in the future, even if I don't want to redeem these properties.
It will be embarrassing when we meet again, after all, the land at this time is really the price of cabbage.
After following this man to the Zhuangzi, Xiao Qi was very satisfied, not because of the fields, but because the house was really suitable for him to practice archery.
Because the two brothers are far away from each other in other places, the family sent people to send a message from time to time to give something or something.
For this reason, the family built a large outer courtyard and built a special place for raising horses, so that it is convenient for visitors to transfer horses.
At this moment, although the horses I had raised before have all been taken away to the harness.
But this outer courtyard is 400 meters wide and [-] meters long, so there is no problem in practicing swordsmanship or archery.
Xiao Qi immediately decided to buy the place, and the man unambiguously asked Li Zheng directly as a guarantee, and the two went to the county government to write a document for the record.
Then Xiao Qi sent 600 taels of silver, and this Zhuangzi was considered Xiao Qi's.
The family was busy for several days, and a large number of people took away everything they should take away.
Xiao Qi led Zhang Xiu and a group of neighbors who came to help move into this new home.
Zhang Xiu was led by Xiao Qi to see it, and the neighbors who came to help were amazed at Xiao Qi's purchase of such a large family property.
Xiao Qi hurriedly said that this was the money left by his parents at the beginning, and he was just betting that this military disaster would not affect this place.
All the neighbors sighed when they heard this, and everyone looked sad.
After the neighbors who helped move to the new home left, Xiao Qi took Zhang Xiu to have a good look at the new home.
This mansion occupies several acres of land.
There are three courtyards in total, and the backyard is where Xiao Qi and the others live. The five rooms are spacious and bright.
There are also three rooms on the left and right, which are where the eldest and second children who came back to the family live.
To the east of the courtyard in the middle is a row of four rooms and a large kitchen, to the west is a row of four rooms used as storage, and in the southwest corner is a dry toilet.
The biggest one is the front yard. To the east of the front yard is a row of large sheds and three rooms.
There were a lot of firewood and firewood piled in those wooden sheds, and they were piled full.
Xiao Qi felt that the firewood would be enough for them to use up until this time next year, but they might not be able to use it up.
To the west is the stable, which can probably raise five or six horses. Next to the stable is a row of sheds piled with hay.
It seemed that they took a lot of forage with them when they left, and there were obvious signs of new removal.
Xiao Qi looked at the stable and said to Zhang Xiu:
"It's a pity that the people who raised the horses have left, otherwise we would buy a few horses and raise them, and we will have our own carriage when we go out for fun."
Zhang Xiu didn't pay attention to this house, she took Xiao Qi to see the property in his early [-]s outside.
What this girl cares most about is these fields. Looking at this large piece of fertile land, she finally smiles for the first time in these days.
Xiao Qi thought to himself: Sure enough, people in ancient times liked buying land property the most!
He lightly embraced Zhang Xiu's shoulders, pointed to the distance and waved his hand: "Don't worry, Xiu'er, I will buy all these fields for you in the future for my husband!"
Zhang Xiu rolled his eyes at him reproachfully: "Officials, don't always think about making money, these lands are enough for us to live comfortably.
Officials should study hard in the future, so that they can get fame as soon as possible! "
Xiao Qi nodded hurriedly: "Yeah, I will definitely get a good name as soon as possible, and then be promoted to minister, so that those state officials will have to bow quickly when they see my Xiu'er!"
Zhang Xiu was too lazy to chat with this guy any longer, she dragged her back to the house, and started to pack the things in their room.
Xiao Qi was also busy helping Zhang Xiu.
After tidying up the bedroom, Zhang Xiu immediately went to tidy up Xiao Qi's study.
Xiao Qi, who was busy behind him, took a look and said, yes!This girl will never forget her study!
