Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 42

"My lord, don't worry, I see that you have also read the book. Our government has express regulations. House sales or leases must go through the real estate agent. As long as you pay the money, the mother-in-law will give you all the procedures. The arrangement is clear and clear! We all have regular dental services and have items that can be returned. If you don’t believe me, you can go with me and have a look, you don’t have to worry about being deceived!”

Mistress Xu saw Qin Shao's worry.

It was only then that Qin Shao realized that the law of the Ming Dynasty also had clear legal constraints on the intermediary industry, which was more regulated than when he was in his previous life.

In other words, there is no need to worry about black intermediaries these days!
Qin Shao followed Mrs. Xu to the dental clinic she mentioned.

"Young Master Qin, you see that although you already have a servant, you can actually ask for another thick servant girl to serve you..."

Seeing Qin Shao's demeanor and clothes, he looked at the house not long after he came here.

On the way, Mrs. Xu began to recommend Qin Shao to buy slaves again.

Qin Shao was surprised that this matchmaker had a wide range of business.

After careful questioning, I found out that apart from being a real estate agent, this ancient matchmaker's main business was actually buying and selling maids, concubines, dancers, cooks, and jewelry for those officials and wealthy households.

Those who can do this are all extraordinary talents. Not only are they capable, but they also have connections in the county, and they are quite familiar with those personnel.

"I don't want to buy slaves yet, why don't you talk to me about the house sales in Jingshan."

Qin Shao is not in the mood to enjoy Mei Jiao Niang yet, what he has to consider now is how to settle down in Anlu Prefecture.

"It depends on whether you want to choose a noisy and bustling street, a remote and cold alley, or a dilapidated place in the countryside. The price difference is huge!"

Mistress Xu shook her head, her face full of mystery.

"You tell me everything, I can choose."

Qin Shao said with a smile.

"If you want to say that we have a house here that is the best. It is on the bustling road. There are six big houses, two front rooms, and a small courtyard. The prime ministers of Qin County in the yamen all live there. My son, Meng's mother moved three times, and this neighbor also Very important! There are people living in the yamen, and Mr. Security should also know."

"And being able to make friends with everyone in the Yamen will make it easier to do anything in the future."

"However, the price is very good. It costs about 150 taels. This is in Anlu Prefecture. If it is in Shangjing, the price is even higher. You can't afford it for 500 taels!"

Mrs. Xu was really shrewd, she first talked about how nice the house was, and then talked about the gratifying price.

"Then the county magistrate of Qin is indeed rich."

Qin Shao deliberately made the topic lead to this.

"That is, although the salary of the county magistrate is not too high, Mrs. Qin is the daughter of a butcher Hu. The son of a butcher Hu may not know it, but we are a well-known wealthy family in Jingshan. The butcher shop has been in Jingshan for more than 20 years. Theirs!"

"Mrs. Qin was the same as me when she was a girl. Her natal family's conditions are the same as mine. Back then, she married Qin Xiucai and settled down in a poor family. She didn't want to become the wife of the county magistrate. This person is more than angry!"

When Mrs. Xu mentioned Mrs. Qin, she was full of sighs.

If she was also a flower in Jingshan back then, how could she not be as lucky as Mrs. Hu!
"Then Qin Xiancheng is also blessed. He was able to settle down from other places to the present situation. I don't know where Qin Xiancheng is originally from? I heard from you that he is not young, and he was never married in his hometown?"

Qin Shao said deliberately.

"My hometown seems to be in a town below Xiangyang Mansion. Qin Xiancheng is from the same town as the original county magistrate. I have failed the imperial examinations in my hometown for many years, so I came to my hometown to find an errand. It is said that my family is poor and I have never married!"

"Ms. Hu is not young. She married a woman back then. She didn't think she would be short-lived. She was gone before she got married, which delayed her age. She had no choice. Seeing that Qin Xiucai was still single, Hu Tuhu decided to make a marriage. Who knows what will happen today. Wealth!"

"The house is a good house, but the price is too expensive. My family has a small population. Madam might as well tell me if there are other houses."

Qin Shao heard that the situation was similar to what he expected.

I don't want to say too much on this topic, so as not to make people suspicious, I hastily changed the subject.

Mrs. Xu introduced two more houses.

One is a little more remote, with three rooms each in the main room, wing room and facade, and it costs 50 taels.

The other place is even more remote and dilapidated, even more remote than Mrs. Jin and the others, and the house price is 8 taels.

"Master, I think the 8 taels are pretty good."

The third son and Qin Shao followed Mrs. Xu in a carriage to look at the house.

This kid is used to living a poor life and knows how to save money, 50 taels is a sky-high price for him.

Qin Shao didn't like the 8 taels of house.

Not to mention the dilapidated house, there is a big smelly puddle in front of it, not to mention the smell of living there, this summer is coming, when the time comes, mosquitoes and flies will be rampant.

The 50 taels of silver is not bad.

Although the location is remote, the environment is elegant and quiet.

It's just that the previous residents moved to the state government, and the house has never been rented out, so they must have cleaned up after moving in.

It is also said that the house is 50 taels, and the intermediary fee must be paid to the toothmaid.

The intermediary fee here is [-]% and [-]%, which means [-]% for the buyer and [-]% for the homeowner.

The agency fee is 1 tael, which means they have to pay 51 taels.

But when it comes to buying things, don't be in a hurry, you still have to compare them before deciding.

Mistress Xu asked the coachman to drive them to Market Street. Due to lack of time, Qin Shao discussed with Mistress Xu to look at other houses the next day.

Walking to Market Street, Qin Shao and Xiao Sanzi got off the bus.

This is actually Yamen Back Street.

This time is the time when the county officials and officials are scattered. From time to time, some officials and servants in official uniforms appear on the street after get off work.

Some were on foot, some in carriages, and others on horseback.

Some are sitting in soup cake shops or snack bars, gathering in groups of three or four to gossiping at a table.

It's really a song and dance.

Suddenly there was a commotion in front, only to hear the crackling of firecrackers, and a horse rushed out.

The horse must have been frightened. Even though the man on the horse pulled the reins vigorously, the horse just leaned back, its front hooves were raised high, and its nose was humming and trembling, but it still ran ahead wildly.

The man on the horse let out a terrified cry.

Behind him is a man who looks like a servant chasing after him!

"Master! Master!"

He gave chase hysterically, but could not outrun the frightened horse.

"Help! Help!"

The people on the horse also uttered terrified cries for help.

Market Street is crowded with people at the moment.

A woman was buying pastries on the side of the street with a little girl in a bun.

Seeing a horse flying towards her, the woman turned pale with fright, and unconsciously gave the little girl away in her hand.

The little girl was about five or six years old, and she didn't understand the danger. Her mother let go, and she ran towards the opposite toy booth with the pastry.

"Lan Niang! Lan Niang!"

The little girl's mother shouted and wanted to chase, but the horse came straight towards them.

"Father!"

The third son shouted at Qin Shao.

"help!"

Qin Shao gave an order.

The two flew forward.

The little third son was quick, and rushed to the little girl and pulled aside in a few quick steps, and the two of them rolled to one side because of the speed.

In that box, Qin Shao had already taken a leap and jumped on the horse. There was originally a person on the horse, but now there was another person.

The neighing sound of the horse was even louder, its front hooves were raised high, and it wanted to overturn the two horsemen to the ground.

Qin Shao held on to the rope tightly and competed with the horse. His strength was amazing. The horse was an old horse, and after a lot of tossing, it had already lost its strength.

When it tilted its body, it was about to fall to the ground with a bang.

Qin Shao flew down from the horse, and dragged the man staggered off the horse.

The man squatted and fell to the ground, and the horse also fell to the ground with a crash.

"Master! Master! Are you all right!"

The boy rushed over to check on the man who had fallen to the ground.

A group of yamen servants also rushed over.

Followed by many people who were originally on duty in the Yamen.

"Qin Xian Cheng! Qin Xian Cheng! Are you okay?"
