050 sky-high mansions

"Eight hundred, no two prices." The housekeeper said calmly.

When he spoke, the subordinate of the housekeeper was very flat, and his expression was not abnormal, as if the eight hundred guan that came from his mouth was as casual as a housewife going out to the market to buy a green onion.

Hearing this price, not only Zheng Peng was surprised, but Lu Shu on the side, with her mouth wide open, could stuff a big goose egg.

Eight hundred yuan, equivalent to 800,000 yuan, you must know that a family of three, ten yuan is enough for two to three years of abundant food and clothing, an ordinary grange, deducting all kinds of miscellaneous expenses, a year can have dozens of dollars depends on God's face, like Zheng Peng's current house, if someone comes out with a ten-run eight times, he will sign a deed and leave without saying a word.

There are 800 acres, and the best paddy fields can be placed on forty or fifty acres.

For Zheng Peng and Lu Shu, it is simply sky-high.

Zheng Peng looked at the housekeeper with a calm face, and then at Steward Guo, who was smiling and silent, just pondered for a moment, and asked, "May I ask, does eight hundred guan include all?" ”

"Yes, my family Langjun said, if you want to sell, you can pack and sell, no two prices, no splitting, including houses, furniture, etc., as long as the delivery is clear, the small ones only bring a few pieces of clothing, and not a single grass or tree here is touched, all left."

"What about the deed tax?"

"Half for both the buyer and the seller."

Zheng Peng nodded, and said in a firm tone: "Okay, I want this house." ”

The price of 800 guan, leaving the housekeeper in the bidding, the face did not change, and even a little numb, it is estimated that there are many buyers in front of the inquiry, but unfortunately they are unsuccessful, the number of questions is too much, so that 800 guan is just a number for him.

The price shows that the owner of this house is a person who has a firm position and is very confident in his house.

These days in the construction site to help, after contact, Zheng Peng also has a certain understanding of the cost of the project in this era, like the house bought now, not a year of hard work can never be built, take a skilled mason as an example, a skilled mason, the daily wage ranges from thirty to fifty dollars, a month needs to be consistent and half, a year has to be more than ten, to build such a delicate house, a mason is definitely not enough, in addition to the mason, but also carpenters, gardeners, laborers, etc., just the salary is a lot of money.

In addition, the wood in the house is all high-quality mahogany, and the rockery stones are purchased from the south of the Yangtze River, which is expensive.

Eight hundred guan seems to be a lot, and if you calculate the project cost and materials, it is definitely the price of cabbage.

There may be two reasons why the price is not high: first, the main family is in a hurry to use the money to cash out the vacant house, and Guixiang County is only a small county, and there are not many potential buyers, so there are concessions in terms of price; The second is that the labor force is low, the Tang Dynasty has a slave system, the slave belongs to the part of the master's property, usually can be full of clothes and less beaten, thank God, who dares to open his mouth to ask for wages is self-defeating, it is possible that the owner of this house used more slaves as labor when building the house, and saved a lot of money in terms of labor, so he is not high in terms of asking price.

Of course, it is not that the owner of the house is rich and how many slaves there are, Huaxia is a humane society, and there are many exchanges between relatives and friends such as borrowing money, cattle, and tools, and in Datang, it is not surprising that slaves with similar status and livestock are borrowed.

Zheng Peng secretly admired Steward Guo, he really deserved to be the housekeeper of a wealthy family, he just mentioned it to him, Steward Guo analyzed his hobbies and tastes, and also took his purchasing power into account, he did not recommend the most luxurious mansion, nor did he recommend the cheapest house, but recommended the most suitable house.

promised so happily, he didn't bargain with the housekeeper, first, the subordinate was very resolute, and second, Steward Guo had no action, Zheng Peng knew that it was useless to bargain.

It might as well be a little more simply.

The housekeeper paused for a moment, thinking that he would have to refuse Zheng Peng a few more times before he would seriously consider his bid, but he didn't expect Zheng Peng to be unusually simple, and quickly said with a smile: "The person who can be brought by Steward Guo himself is really different, and the little one admires, I don't know when the son is going to deliver?" ”

As if he was afraid that Zheng Peng would not understand, the housekeeper reminded: "My family Langjun said that only cash will be accepted, and it will be paid in a lump sum." ”

Eight hundred guan is equivalent to 800,000 yuan, but it is not a number, you have to take out so much at one time, can this ridiculously young little Langjun in front of him take it out?

The implication of saying this is: So much, should you let your family know first?

"Kaiyuan Tongbao" weight is stable, can be used as a balance weight, ten money a tael, 160 money that is a pound of weight, consistent money has 1000 Wen, the weight is 6.25 pounds, 800 if there is no short Mo, there are 5000 pounds, piled together, can pile a mountain of money.

"The copper coin is too heavy, do you collect the gold?" Zheng Peng asked.

The entrance fee Guo Ketang gave himself was gold, and he originally wanted to collect it, but now he has to take it out to buy a house.

"That's great," the housekeeper said happily: "After selling the house, my little Langjun still has to transport the money away, because the road is a little far, it is inconvenient to bring so much money, and it is most suitable to pay directly with gold." ”

When discussing some documents on how to deliver, I learned that the owner of this house, a nephew who was studying at Guo's Academy, due to the relocation of the family, left after reading this year, and the money and silver would be handed over to him for processing.

Just now, I wondered why such a big thing was just a subordinate who took care of the family and nursing home, and he was not afraid of his potential selection with money, it turned out that there was a nephew and young master to take care of it.

After discussing the details of the delivery of the house, Steward Guo stepped forward with a smile and arched his hand to Zheng Peng: "Congratulations to Gongzi Zheng for finding the Ruyi house, it is really gratifying." ”

I heard that congratulations to others for finding Ruyi Langjun, Ruyi Beauty, etc., Zheng Peng heard the Ruyi house for the first time, and said puzzled: "Ruyi? Where does this begin? ”

Steward Guo said with a smile: "This house sits north to south, the design is ingenious, the materials are high-quality, and the price is very fair, so it is not satisfactory?" ”

"Hahaha, I didn't have much wishful thinking, but now when I listen to Steward Guo, don't say it, it's much more pleasing to the eye."

"Zheng Gongzi said with a smile" Steward Guo explained with a smile: "Although 800 guan is a lot, it is worth the money, and even the value for money, not to mention anything else, the entire Guixiang County, this piece of land, is the safest place in the county." ”

Zheng Peng nodded and said, "Yes, along the way, I have seen officials patrolling from time to time, which is rare in other places." ”

The characteristics of Guixiang County are that the east is rich and the west is rich, and the remaining south and north of the city, one is the location of the market, and the smell of livestock can be smelled far away, and the other is the place where the poor gather to live

I heard that there has not been any criminal incident here for more than ten years.

Steward Guo smiled, and then said to Zheng Peng: "This place is not far from Guo's mansion, so I will have to go back and forth more in the future." ”

"Definitely." Zheng Peng said with certainty.

It is said that there are people in the court who are easy to do, and there is a housekeeper Guo, and the procedures are strangely smooth, as if they are going through the motions, but it is only a small half a day's work, Zheng Peng smiled and put the title deed with his name in his sleeve.

Anyway, I finally have a house of my own.

At the suggestion of Steward Guo, the first thing Zheng Peng did after sending away the housekeeper was to ask someone to change the lock, so as not to be remembered.
