Chapter 13 Understanding
Jiang Zhixia was just recovering from the injury while slowly adding various small things to her new home.
After about ten days, Jiang Zhixia looked at the 60 taels of silver, and the remaining thirty taels were beginning to be confused. Why did the money be spent so quickly?
I obviously didn't buy anything big.
I just eat meat every day, eat vegetables, and occasionally buy some snacks. The desk is empty, buy a vase and put it in a flower arrangement.
It is indeed a lot of money to calculate such a mess. Although there are not large items, a lot of things accumulated. But I don’t think I’m so luxurious.
Zhixia also understood why in Dream of Red Mansions, there were so few servants in the monthly life, but they could live so luxuriously.
That's right, the owner's family is inclusive of all food, clothing, housing, and transportation. All the money is spent on these, and the salary accounts for a small part.
I understand even more. It is indeed not easy to live in Beijing. I have to worry about the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. Oh, there is no tea yet. Just these daily necessities, and they spend money every day.
Seeing that he had recovered from his injuries and was a little round, Jiang Zhixia finally decided that he had peace of mind and it was time to start his career.
Jiang Zhixia brought the hat and arrived at the entrance of the alley. She happened to see a carriage that had just gotten out of the house. She hired it and came to Changlongya Store again. This time, she found Liu Po, who was last time, and said she wanted to buy land.
Last time, Liu Po made some money from Jiang Zhixia. Seeing that Jiang Zhixia was easy-going, polite, and not picky, she had a good impression. This time she wanted to buy land, she became even more enthusiastic.
"It's considered the right choice for a girl to buy land. Nowadays, buying land is a fundamental thing. No matter what the market conditions are, there is food to eat if there is land." Liu Po is used to observing the words and expressions. When he saw a few chats, Zhixia just laughed but didn't interrupt, so he knew that Zhixia was not interested in chatting, so he quickly introduced the situation of the land outside the capital.
Because the land outside the capital is close to the capital, the land price is more expensive.
The best land needs to be sold for ten taels of silver per acre, the medium land needs seven taels of silver, and the low land needs two or three taels of silver.
Because the land outside the capital is close to the capital, most of the land has masters. For example, the royal family, nobles, and various officials. Only a small part can be bought and sold. The location is relatively remote.
"I don't know what the girl's budget is?" Liu Po asked with a smile.
"I bought a house and I didn't have much money, so my budget was only about 200 taels. I wonder if there was any suitable one?" Zhixia asked softly.
Liu Po pondered for a while and said, "Miss is a coincidence. I have a family who just came and wanted to sell the land. His land is not much, and the upper-grade land is only ten acres, and the medium-grade land is five acres. With a small farm, the farm is not big, it also occupies an additional two acres of land. The main house costs 220 taels. This price is really low. If it weren't for the seller's family and urgently needs money, it would not be so cheap. To put it bluntly, the land is despised by the nobles; the merchants usually wander around and are reluctant to buy property outside their hometowns; ordinary families nearby cannot get it. After all, last winter, the north suffered a heavy snow disaster, and even our capital was greatly affected. If a girl wants to buy it, it would be just right."
"Thank you, Liu Po. Can I go and have a look first?" Zhixia was really moved.
This price is a little higher than the previous budget. However, she also learned from the side that suitable land is hard to come by, let alone the emperor’s feet in the capital.
"Of course it's OK. I'll take you to see it now." Seeing that the transaction was hopeful, Liu Po hurriedly arranged the carriage of the Yashang and took Zhixia to the seller outside the capital.
That place is almost sixty or seventy miles away from the capital. I took a carriage out of the southern gate of the capital, first walking the road, and then turning the road. The carriage ran quite fast on the road. When I turned to the road, I bumped and slowed down.
It took me about half an hour to walk and arrive at the small village.
