Chapter 169： buyouts and wells

It was the first time they heard about buying and selling property rights, and they were very curious. After listening to Lin Yuelan's explanation, they quickly understood.

This is actually rent and tenancy, but the difference from the current tenancy is the length of time.

The current tenancy is mainly the government or the landlord who rents the land to the farmers, basically for a period of one year. If the lease continues in the next year, it must be agreed in advance. Of course, the initiative is with the government or the landlord. They have the final say on who they want to rent to and who they want to rent, and farmers are very passive.

Sometimes, for the next year's rent, it is possible to beg and kneel.

But now, the tenancy that Lin Yuelan is talking about is for a long period of time, such as thirty years as she said. However, this kind of lease is very unfavorable for the landlord or the government in terms of collecting rent and profit, so , it is impossible to sell the land property right.

Of course, except in special circumstances.

Lin Yuelan continued, "I leased all your farms and all the hilltops for 30 years, and the rent for each mu of land is half a tael of silver a year, and for 1,500 mu, the rent for 30 years is 23,400 yuan. One hundred taels, one tael for each hilltop, thirty-two hilltops for 30 years, it is 960 taels of silver, plus various rents such as various houses and the trend of rising prices. The total rent for thirty years can be between 25,000 and 30,000 taels.”

Hearing Lin Yuelan open An Shu without hesitation, they were once again stunned.

Guo Bing was dumbfounded and said, "Miss Lin, how do you calculate these numbers?" For them, these numbers are complicated. Even he should at least count with an abacus instead of just casually calculating them. of.

Lin Yuelan wanted to roll her eyes and tell him that this is a math formula for elementary school grades, what's so difficult about it.

However, she knew that for the ancients, without these arithmetic formulas, arithmetic was really difficult.

Lin Yuelan immediately said very seriously, "We'll talk about this later. Let's finish the current matter first."

Guo Bing nodded and waited patiently.

In fact, my heart is scratching the itch.

He is familiar with the "Zhou Bi Suanjing" and "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic", and has also studied them deeply. However, he always feels that there is a gap in the area of ​​arithmetic, which is not ideal.

However, perhaps this time, they will have to re-understand the arithmetic.

After Lin Yuelan said those words, she looked at Jiang Zhennan and said seriously, "Brother Nan, I don't know what I said, do you understand?"

Jiang Zhennan nodded and said, "Well. It's just Miss Yue'er. I don't want your money, so I just want to put these fields under your name."

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, "Big Brother Nan, I have no relationship with you and it is impossible for me to directly accept your more than 1,000 acres of land."

One yard owned by a yard.

Jiang Zhennan was willing to give it, but she was unwilling to accept it. If the two had a dispute or turned against each other in the future, it would become unclear in terms of property.

So, just in case, the best way is to buy out or outright buy the planting rights of these fields.

Jiang Zhennan's expression moved slightly, and there was something unusual in his eyes immediately, and then he said, "Miss Yue'er, have you forgotten that my brothers and I still owe you 330,000 taels of silver? So, I'm not giving this away for nothing. , but to repay the 330,000 taels of silver owed to you."

Lin Yuelan paused with her fingertips holding the land deed, then her eyes lit up and she said with a smile, "Oh, so that's the case, since you are taking these land deeds to pay back the money you owe, then I'm welcome. accepted. But what,"

As she said that, she changed the subject and said very seriously, "There is no evidence to speak, let's put down a document first, in black and white, signed and signed, and there will be a certificate in the future. Otherwise, in case you regret it, or want to Bullying or something, I am a small commoner, how can I fight against a dignified general, don't you think?"

This statement made Jiang Zhennan a little sad.

Because, these words are obviously the expression of Lin Yuelan's distrust of what he said.

In fact, he is sincere, and he has never thought about using these more than 1,000 acres of land to pay off the more than 300,000 yuan owed. Besides, these more than 1,000 acres are not enough.

However, Lin Yuelan can only accept this way.

Jiang Zhennan nodded and said, "Okay!"

Lin Yuelan immediately returned to the house and took out a pen and paper.

Spread out the white rice paper, and start writing after the brush is dipped in ink.

However, it was Guo Bing who did the writing.

She is a modern person who can only hold pencils and pens, and can't write with a brush at all.

Lin Yuelan said, "Brother Nan, today I bought all the first-class fields for one mu and fifteen taels, a total of 1,560 mu, a total of 23,400 taels, and thirty-two hills, each of which was bought for two hundred taels of silver. Next, 6,400 taels, a total of 29,800, plus real estate and the like, the total is almost 30,000 taels. Well, this 30-year lease is almost the same as a complete buyout, and for you, renting is more cost-effective Well, Big Brother Nan, are you really thinking about renting instead of selling?"

She still has to ask more about this.

After all, she likes money, but she needs to come from normal channels.

Jiang Zhennan said without hesitation, "Sell!"

Lin Yuelan nodded and said, "If that's the case, then I will pay 30,000 taels to buy all your fields and hills." In fact, not a penny was paid, but the 330,000 taels were seized.

"After 30,000 taels, you still have 300,000 taels left."

Guo Bing paused in his hand holding the brush, and there was a heavy stroke on that point on the word "Qian" written by one person.

Guo Bing couldn't stop muttering in his heart, this girl Lin, how can she always remember the more than 300,000 taels.

Obviously, after getting along for so long, I thought I knew each other as good friends, and I forgot about the more than 300,000 taels of life-saving money.

I didn't think about it, I always remember it.

Jiang Zhennan listened, with a smile on his face, with a bit of pampering, nodded and replied, "Mm."

After that, Guo Bing finished writing the agreement. Three copies of the agreement were signed. After Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan each signed it, Guo Bing, as a witness, also signed it, and each of the three kept one copy.

This can be said to be a one-sided transaction.

However, Jiang Zhennan sat at the dining table with a look of grievance.

Because his punishment is still going on, so Wowotou pickles are still going on.

The others covered their mouths and chuckled.

The next day, when it was slightly dawn, I went out to fetch water.

However, when he stepped out of the hospital door and walked towards the well water, he was a little surprised.

Because, he found, there was some mud and sand all around.

Of course, when building a house, it is normal to have mud and sand.

However, when he saw that he had only been walking for half a month, the yard with three entrances and three exits had already been built half-height. Another point was that the more than 100 acres of land had been built for construction. A fence as high as one person.

How fast is that.

He clearly remembers that building a house is not so fast. If it looks like this, it will take at least more than a month.

But here, it only took half a month.

Guo Bing also yawned.

As soon as he saw Jiang Zhennan, carrying two buckets, he immediately woke up.

He ran over and said, "Boss, where are you going?"

Jiang Zhennan glanced at the bucket in confusion, then looked at Guo Bing, his sharp eyes seemed to tell Guo Bing that he was going to fetch water.

Guo Bing also immediately understood, and he said, "Hey, my good brother, now we don't have to fetch water at all." After saying that, he was about to take Jiang Zhennan down with the bucket.

This time, Jiang Zhennan was even more puzzled.

Don't they need to drink water for half a month when he's gone?

Guo Bing immediately explained to Jiang Zhennan, "My good eldest brother, come, come, let me tell you why we don't have to fetch water."

Then, he took Jiang Zhennan to the back of the thatched cottage, even though that one was in front of the house he was building, there was a well.

Jiang Zhennan was a little surprised when he saw the well.

It never occurred to me that in the past half a month, even the well water has been dug here.

However, this well was different from what Jiang Zhennan had seen before.

In the past, the well that Jiang Zhennan saw was either turned and shaken to fetch water, or fetched water manually, but this thing was erected in the well, like a dog's head, and had a long stick handle, what happened?

Jiang Zhennan pointed at this thing in surprise, and said hesitantly, "This... what is this thing?"

Guo Bing smiled mysteriously and did not speak. He carried the wooden bucket, walked to the well water, put the wooden bucket under the mouth of the dog's head, and then poured the water from a bamboo tube next to him into the dog's head army, holding the long stick in both hands. on the handle of the dog, and then twitched up and down. It didn't take long for the long mouth in the dog's head to "crash" immediately, and the water was received into the wooden barrel.

This time, Jiang Zhennan was a little speechless in surprise. At the same time, he had a feeling in his heart that this thing must have been made by Lin Yuelan again.

After seeing the water coming out, Guo Bing quickly filled a bucket and then stood up.

He winked at Jiang Zhennan and asked, "Boss, are you dying of curiosity? If you tell me that you are really curious, then my subordinates will kindly explain it to you."

Jiang Zhennan gave Guo Bing a strange look, and then he walked quietly beside the well water, imitating Guo Bing's movements, holding the handle with both hands, and then twitching up and down, the same way, water came out of the dog's mouth. .

Anyone is curious about new things, even Jiang Zhennan is no exception.

At this moment, he is also like a general, slowly studying this dog's head.

However, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't understand, how could this water flow from a low place to a high place? Doesn't the water flow from a high place to a low place?

Guo Bing looked at Jiang Zhennan's curious appearance, and came over to ask, "Boss, it's very strange, right? However, if the elder brother asks me, the younger brother will tell you sincerely."

Jiang Zhennan looked at Guo Bing's dazed appearance, just glanced coldly, and walked away.

Hmph, this matter still needs to be asked, and this matter is not a secret. I believe that apart from him, other people must know the reason.

Guo Bing was a little dumbfounded when he saw Jiang Zhennan leave like this. Then, when he saw the two buckets on the ground, he immediately reacted and shouted, "Boss, haven't you picked up the water yet?"

"Pick it back for me!" Jiang Zhennan said sharply. This is obviously an order.
