Chapter 416 Big Deal
Gu Jinli sorted out the banknotes and replied: "That's about it. The Jiang family sent word that the county government will sell the Lu family's house and land at a low price. Our money is enough to buy the Lu family's house and land in the village."
After Mr. Lus family was sentenced, the county government began to sell off the confiscated property of the Lu family.
Mr. Lus family has a lot of property. Not only does he have a house and a shop in the county, he also has shops and villages hidden in other towns.
After the property confiscation this time, an investigation revealed that shops and fields were found in Hukou Town, Xianggui Town, and even Linxian County. There were four more shops and two hundred acres of paddy fields than everyone knew before. Zhuangzi is really Rich as hell.
But the houses, shops, and houses in the county and other towns have been bought by the Jiang family, County Magistrate Xu, Master Tian, Bantou Yang, and wealthy households in the county, and it is not their turn to buy.
Magistrate Xu thought that her family had made great contributions and that Gu Jinan had helped him a lot, so he asked the Jiang family to send a message to her family, saying that they could sell the Lu family's fields and house in the village to them at a low price.
How low is the sale? To the point where the Lu family's mansion only costs one hundred taels of silver.
The Lu family's mansion was built quite arrogantly, with five entrances, plus a servant's room in a blue brick building. The cost of building this big house alone is more than one hundred taels, but now Magistrate Xu has given her family such a low price. Her family would be a fool if they didn't buy it.
As soon as her family got the news, they immediately counted their money. Now they have a lot of money, which is more than enough to buy the Lu family's house and land in the village.
However, the price of paddy fields and dry land is more expensive than that of houses, especially the price of paddy fields. If you sell it too low, you will be criticized.
Hence, the price of paddy fields is five taels of silver per mu; the price of dry land is two and a half taels of silver per mu.
Nowadays, there are so many people fleeing the famine, and the land prices in He'an Prefecture have increased. In Fucheng, paddy fields have been sold for 10 taels of silver per acre, and dry land has been sold for 6 taels of silver per acre.
Tianfu County is better. The most expensive paddy field is only eight taels of silver, and the most expensive dry land is five taels. Therefore, it is really good that County Magistrate Xu can give them this land price.
Several families heard that land was so cheap and wanted to buy a few acres.
Grandpa San also wants to buy it.
Gu Dashan saw the thoughts of several families and discussed with Gu Jinli whether they should give some to several families.
Gu Jinli originally wanted her family to buy them all, but she still had to keep money to buy medicinal materials for making medicine and medicinal seeds to grow medicinal materials. In addition to the fields and the house, the Lu family also left a bamboo forest and a large pond. Behind the Lu family mansion, Gu Jinli took a fancy to it and wanted to buy it together. After thinking about it, he relaxed.
Her family bought half of the land, house, bamboo forest, and pond from Mr. Lu's family, and several families bought the remaining half of the land.
Mr. Lus family doesnt have much farmland left in the village, with 40 acres of paddy fields and 60 acres of dry land. The rest are on the outskirts of the county or in other towns.
Twenty acres of paddy field costs one hundred taels of silver, thirty acres of dry land costs seventy-five taels of silver, a house costs one hundred taels, plus twenty acres of bamboo forest and five acres of large pond, the total is three hundred taels of silver, which is really cheap. Very.
Gu Dashan only asked her to pay one hundred taels of silver, and the remaining two hundred taels came from her family.
At that time, her name will be written on the land deeds of the house, bamboo forest, and pond, and Cui's name will be written on the paddy fields and dry land, which will be counted as Cui's dowry.
Its just that the third grandmother felt it was a pity: The Lu familys house is unlucky, and its not good to live in it if you buy it.
The Lu family's house was sealed off by the government. Something happened in the house. The third mistress and Mrs. Cui were from ancient times. They believed this and were unwilling to live in it.
Gu Jinli didn't believe this, but felt disgusted with the Lu family and didn't want to live in it. However, "We can use that house as a workshop, but there is still money left to build the workshop. We can also let Uncle Wang and Old Uncle Zhu move in." "If you buy another person in the future, you don't need to build a house for the servants. You can just move the servants to live in the Lu family's house, which is very convenient." She can also open a pharmaceutical workshop in the Lu family's house, and then make mosquito coils and The convenience medicines are all made in the Lu family house, which is very convenient.
Hundred 100 taels of silver to buy a five-level mansion, which gave her a tofu workshop, a spice workshop, a pharmaceutical workshop, and several warehouses. It was a huge advantage.
"County Magistrate Xu has been of great help this time. When we go to the county town tomorrow, we have to prepare a generous gift and send it to the Xu family." Gu Dashan put the banknotes he counted into a cloth bag, and then put a box of cash in an iron Lock it up. The cash will be taken to the county bank tomorrow and exchanged for banknotes.
Gu Jinan said: "It's not good to give too expensive gifts to the Xu family. Just give me two pieces of embroidery by my eldest sister and my mother, soy products from the workshop, braised meat and roast duck made by my aunt."
Mrs. Xu and Miss Xu have been fascinated by Gu Jinxiu's embroidery since they first saw her. They learned that her embroidery was taught by Cui, and they also wanted to get a piece of Cui's embroidery.
Ms. Cui likes to do embroidery, but Gu Dashan felt sorry for Ms. Cui. When she was in her hometown, she always asked her to make embroidery and sell it for money. Now I can't see her embroidering anything, and I will stop her if I see her doing it.
However, this time, due to the request of Mrs. Xu and Miss Xu, Ms. Cui was able to use needle and thread to embroider an embroidery. The embroidery showed the whole family helping Gu Jinli make mosquito coils. The embroidery was very heart-warming, and Mrs. Xu would definitely take a look at it. like.
After Gu Jinli and the others prepared the money and packed the gifts for the Xu family, the third grandfather took several men, Gu Jinli, and Gu Jinan to the county seat the next day.
Gu Daya and his wife also went with Gu Dafu.
The fields in the village are not easy to buy. Gu Dafu didnt want to miss this opportunity, so he borrowed money from Grandpa San to buy the fields.
They went to Shang's house to borrow two mule carts, driven by Gu Jinan and Luo's father, and arrived at the county government office before noon.
To Gu Jinlis surprise, she actually saw Qin Sanlang.
Qin Sanlang and Qin Erlang stood beside Jiang Qi. Next to the Qin brothers, there was a group of soldiers wearing military uniforms, carrying bows and arrows on their backs, and holding swords on their waists.
Brother Qin! Gu Jinli was very happy to see Qin Sanlang and waved to him.
The soldiers all looked this way, then they all laughed, and then looked at Qin Sanlang, as if they were teasing him.
Qin Sanlang didn't know what he said to the soldiers. He ran over to her after a while and asked her, "Are you here to buy the Lu family's house and land?"
Gu Jinli nodded: "Well, the price given by the county magistrate is low. Our family has made some money recently, so we simply bought the house and fields left by the Lu family in the village."
Qin Sanlang said: "It's good if you can buy it. Our family is a latecomer, and all the good fields in the village have been bought by the villagers. It's not easy to buy these fields this time."
"Brother Qin, please drink some water." Gu Jinli took off a bamboo tube from his waist and handed it to Qin Sanlang: "Drink half of it and use half to wash your face. Your face is very red. The weather is too hot."
Qin Sanlang was about to reach out to take the bamboo tube, but when he heard this, his ears turned red. He quickly took the bamboo tube, washed his face first, drank some water, and returned the bamboo tube to Gu Jinli.
Gu Jinli didn't answer, shook his head and said, "No, you can keep it. There are still a lot of bamboo tubes at home, so I don't need this."
