Chapter 854: Each Family Buys Property in the Capital [5]

……

After finishing breakfast, the Qin, Jiang, Xu and Qiao families took the silver bills and went to Chenlou to pick up Mr. Xun, who was followed by Mr. Jing, Ying Zilin, Xue Mingyi, Li Zhiyuan and others.

A large group of people went to the official dental clinic in the capital.

The chief steward of the capital's government, Lu, came out to greet them: "I greet Mr. Jing, Mr. Xun, and Mr. Ying..."

In short, there are a lot of people who want him to meet.

Upon seeing this, Second Uncle Qin finally got rid of the gloom of having his apology gift robbed... Not bad, not bad, it seems that the power of the Duke of Yan is very useful. Judging from the attitude of this chief steward, it will be easy for them to buy properties in the capital.

He said, "No need to be polite. We don't have much time, so let's get down to business."

Chief Steward Lu looked at Mr. Jing, Mr. Xun and Mr. Ying Zilin.

Master Jing said, "Listen to Master Qin Er."

It seems that the Qin family is really well-respected in front of Mr. Jing and Mr. Xun, the Duke of Yan. So he must do a good job in the Qin family's property purchase and make sure to satisfy the Qin family.

"Yes, everyone, please come in." After inviting the distinguished guests into the living room, Chief Steward Lu did not dare to waste words and immediately asked the maids to bring up the books of top-quality houses and farms one by one, introducing them: "Mr. Jing, Mr. Xun, Mr. Ying, Mr. Qin, the row on the left holds the books of houses and farms in the four good districts of the southeast, north and center; the row on the right holds the books of houses and farms in the areas 20, 30, 40, 50 miles outside the city... and the Dongfu Town, which is 100 miles away."

"Dongfu Town is a must-go place for people heading to the capital from Tianmang Prefecture and Dongming Prefecture. Many people buy property there to settle down."

but……

"A house without a well costs three thousand taels of silver!" Uncle Qin screamed, poking at the booklet and said, "Your price is as high as that in Jiangnan Prefecture. You are robbing us. This is Northeast Prefecture!"

The two-and-a-half-room house with a well that Xiaomi's niece bought in Dongming Prefecture only cost 1,200 taels.

"Jiangnan Province is rich, has many industries, a healthy climate, and numerous celebrities and giants. The high price is reasonable."

"But you are in Northeast Province, a bitterly cold borderland, and the people from the Eastern Desert are about to attack us. Is it reasonable for you to sell it at such a high price?!"

Chief Steward Lu hurriedly said, "Second Master Qin, calm down... Our Great Wei Dynasty has been established for more than a hundred years, and these good lands and houses have long been bought up. Now these are finally available, so this price is already a low price."

In short, the dynasty has been in existence for a long time, and the good things have long been divided up by aristocratic families, officials, prominent families, and big merchants.

If you want to buy a large number of good houses, shops and land at a low price, you have to wait until the chaotic times or the beginning of the dynasty to have the opportunity.

And this is the capital of a state, a central place. If your Qin family were not a guest of the Duke of Yan, you would not be able to buy these properties even if you had money.

"Uncle Qin, this price is already 10% lower than the market price." Xue Mingyi reminded.

The price is 10% lower than the market price?

Uncle Qin was speechless after hearing this...it turned out that solidification was a drawback that was bound to occur in all dynasties.

Qin Dashi, Qin Dayan, Qin Ying, Qin Jie and others were stunned when they heard this... The houses in the capital are really expensive. It costs three thousand taels to enter the house. Is this still a low price? How can they afford to buy it? !

However, even if you can't bring yourself to do it, you have to buy some real products so that you can sell them when you are short of money in the future.

In short, as Xiaomi said, buying a property at a high price is better than hiding the banknotes at home.

"General Manager Lu, our Qin, Jiang, Xu and Qiao families want to buy neighboring houses. The Qin family's house must at least have two entrances and two exits with a well, while the other families' house must only have one and a half entrances." Jiang Dalang stated his request.

"This is a bit difficult." Chief Steward Lu showed an awkward look and asked, "Can it be limited to the city area?"

Jiang Dalang: "No limit, but Dongcheng is best."

The Xue family lives in Dongcheng. If several of their families buy property in Dongcheng, the Xue family can help take care of it.

This time, Chief Steward Lu was really in a dilemma: "Wait a moment."

Manager Lu looked through the books one by one, then left and went to a room in the pawnshop to look through the secret books inside.

Finally, he had no choice but to leave through the back door and rush to the capital government office to ask the adults for instructions.

After hearing this, Judge Zheng went to discuss the matter with Prefect Fei.

For the sake of Duke Yan, Mr. Xun, Mr. Jing, and General Liang, Prefect Fei sold out the Qin, Jiang, Xu, and Qiao families.

Half an hour later, Chief Steward Lu came back, and he was even more respectful to the Qin family. He smiled and said, "There are several empty houses next to each other on Songmo Street, which is located on the outer side of East City. However, the largest one has three entrances and three exits and a well, but it is more expensive."

"How much?" Uncle Qin asked hurriedly.

this?

Chief Steward Lu held up a finger and said, "Ten thousand taels of silver."

hiss!

Qin Dashi and Qin Dayan and the others gasped, this is too expensive.

Jiang Dalang said: "Take us to have a look."

Xiaomi’s requirement is to buy a house in the capital of the Northeastern state to use as his future residence.

After all, once the Great Wei and the Eastern Desert come to blows, only the capital city with high walls and heavy troops will be able to resist.

So don’t be stingy, don’t care too much about money, just buy what you can.

"Da Lang, are you going to buy it?" Qin Dashi looked at Jiang Da Lang: "But this is too expensive. We don't live in the capital, we have to go back to the village."

The emperor issued an edict to reward several of their families with houses built by imperial order, so they are afraid that they will never live in the capital in their lifetime.

And the houses in this capital are so expensive. The more I think about it, the less cost-effective it seems. My heart aches!

Chief Steward Lu also looked at Jiang Dalang and questioned him with his eyes.

Jiang Dalang nodded and gave a definite answer: "Well, if there is nothing wrong with the house, I will buy it... This is what Xiaomi meant."

Oh, that's okay.

Qin Dashi Qin Dayan's expression changed quickly and he agreed immediately: "Then let's go and see the house now."

"Dear guests, please wait a moment. Our agency will prepare the vehicle." General Manager Lu was very happy and quickly ordered people to prepare the vehicle.

A quarter of an hour later, the convoy set off and headed for Songmo Street in East City.

"Songmo Street, just by listening to the name, you can tell that there are many scholars here, and many of them have achieved fame, so the atmosphere in this area is good and the public security is good."

Could it be bad?

Those literati wanted to show off, so whenever something small happened, they would go to the government office and beat drums, which scared everyone in the office.

Therefore, the people in the yamen dare not ignore the public security here, and they dare not miss it during every patrol, so the public security is really good.

"The west side of the city is not so good. There are many ordinary people in the market, and many people from other places come in to do work." On the way, Chief Steward Lu introduced the situation of each district in detail to Qin Jiang, Xu Qiao and other families. He was very responsible.

After driving for half an hour, we finally arrived at Songmo Street.

"This place is really nice. It's quiet yet has a sense of hustle and bustle." Mr. Jing is quite satisfied with this place.

"This is the place we are looking for for the heroes of the Qin and Jiang families. We dare not look for a bad place." Chief Steward Lu hurriedly responded.

I screamed excitedly in my heart: Ahhhh, he got to know the famous scholar Mr. Jing. Can I take this opportunity to ask Mr. Jing for a word or two to enlighten his children and grandchildren?

If one of his children or grandchildren could become a scholar as a result, he would definitely redeem that child and let him or her take the exam. If he or she passes, then his or her life will not be in vain!

"Starting from the middle of the street, all the houses in the back are built here." Chief Steward Lu introduced them: "These houses used to belong to one family. The one with three entrances and three exits is the main house, and the other houses with one entrance and half entrance are built around the main house."
