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

Chapter 45 Appointment with the Prime Minister of Qin County

Qin Shao followed the third son and got up to the door.

I saw a man of medium height in robes standing at the door, leading a horse by the hand.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Qin?"

When the man saw Qin Shao, he cupped his hands and came forward to say hello.

"I'm Qin Shao, I don't know your nobleman..."

Qin Shao saw this person face to face, but had never seen him before.

"Young master Qin, the villain is Liu Zhong, the steward of the Cheng family of Qin county. The prime minister of Qin county wanted to talk to Mr. Qin about something, so he reserved a room at Mingyue Restaurant, and came here to invite Mr. Qin."

Hehe, Qin Shao thought that that person would come to him, but he didn't expect that he would be so impatient, so he asked someone to come over this early in the morning.

It must have been a sleepless night last night.

"Liu Guanshi, I have never had any contact with Qin County Cheng. I don't know why the county magistrate is looking for the villain. Just let me know and don't bother Shizi Restaurant."

Qin Shao sneered.

"Master Qin?"

Liu Zhong was very surprised, he did not expect this person to speak so bluntly.

"Liu Guanshi, I have made an appointment today to see the house with that grandmother Xu, so I will be rude first!"

Qin Shao cupped his fists, turned around and returned to the yard with his third son.

Then he called Han Jinrong to pack up his things quickly, and went to see the house together.

When the three of them walked out of the yard, Guanshi Liu was still standing at the door.

They walked a certain distance, but Guanshi Liu still followed with his horse.

"Master, that man is still following us!"

Han Jinrong didn't understand the situation and asked curiously.

"Don't bother!"

Qin Shao ordered in a cold voice.

When I arrived at the dental shop, I saw Mrs. Xu.

Compared with the previous one, Xu's matchmaker is more attentive.

Lead them to see the house of the Liang family.

That house is really nice!
The house has three main rooms, three wing rooms, and three facades, plus a small courtyard. The courtyard is tidy and comfortable, and it looks like it has been carefully maintained. Although it is not located in a busy street, it is very secluded and very suitable for living.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Qin, if this house was in the Ping An year, there would be no one who would not come here for 80 taels. In the current famine year, coupled with bandits outside, many people have no money in their hands. Even if there is money, the situation is unstable, and many people are also Don’t dare to buy a house.”

"And the troubles that happened to the Liang family. There are two local bankers who think this house has a problem with Feng Shui! I don't believe that, but the problem with the Liang family is that the adopted son didn't teach it. Mr. Liang is old and pampered! The young master has not been a real person since he was a child, and it will be a matter of time before something happens."

Mrs. Xu babbled.

"The old lady and Mr. Qin have an eye for each other. You see that the first day you came to see the house, you found the old lady. This is fate! If you don't mind, the old lady will find another suitable one for you!"

"Ma'am, there is no need to look any further. I think this house is very good. I don't believe in Feng Shui, so I will settle for this house."

Qin Shao said directly.

"Mr. Qin is a neat person. No wonder the county magistrate favored you as soon as you came to our Jingshan. I heard that you are invited to be the head of the yamen. The old lady is here to congratulate you! The main business client of our tooth shop is the county government office. Gentlemen, Qin Dutou will take care of the old lady's business in the future."

Mrs. Xu has already started to win the relationship.

"Don't be polite, ma'am. I haven't reported to the county government yet, and I don't know anything. If I don't violate the law within my ability, I will naturally help. After all, you have found such a suitable house for us."

Qin Shao said politely.

I insisted on paying 51 taels of silver.

The extra one or two is the intermediary fee for Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu insisted on not wanting it, but seeing Qin Shao's insistence, she had no choice but to accept it.

It is said that if the family needs maids, mother-in-law and so on in the future, they can find some affordable ones for him.

Qin Shao took the deed.

Take a closer look at this ancient house deed, just see the above content:
Lidian deed to sell house

Liang Wenyuan will now be located in Xihu, two miles east of Yajishi Street, Jingshan County (three main rooms, three side rooms, and three front rooms, plus a small courtyard).
Qin Shao was in charge of the business, and it was discussed on three sides that the value was 50 taels, and they were all collected on the same day, and there was no shortage.

There is no overlapping transaction of the house, and there is no dispute with others. If there is any such situation, it will be theorized by the pawnbroker and has nothing to do with the current owner.

There is no evidence for empty words, and this document is established as evidence.

Signature of the seller: Liang Wenyuan

Witness signature: Li Taoming

Agent's signature: Xu Sanniang

Date: June of the eighth year of Zhengde

"Mr. Qin, I heard from Jin Da that you bought a house for the purpose of settling down in Jingshan. I see that you are all cheerful people. Our dental office also helps people settle in this business. After I know that you are also a member of the yamen, it is naturally easy to settle down. , it’s just that the procedures are a bit complicated. Why don’t you come and help the young master with it?”

Seeing Qin Shao's generosity, Mrs. Xu was very happy to take the one tael of silver.

"Thank you so much, ma'am. I heard that we have to settle down. We need a guarantee from the dental office and we have to pay the house tax. I don't know how much silver taels. My aunt told me together. I will give you the silver taels. Please help us register."

Qin Shao thought about it, if he had to rely on Jin Da and the others for guarantee, he still needed to run errands to register.

It is very troublesome to handle this matter in modern times, and it will not be much easier in ancient times.

You can also save yourself a lot of trouble by entrusting professional people to do professional things.

"Mr. Qin, the property tax is 12.00% as stipulated by the Daming Law, and the local government can regulate it. If you do it privately, you must follow this ratio. Our business is affordable. Calculated at 8%, you have to pay 5% of the tax. Ten, that is [-] taels of silver, the young master only needs to pay me [-] taels."

"Within two days, the old man will naturally send the household deed to the son's home."

Qin Shao asked Han Jinrong to give Xu Yapo 6 taels of silver directly.

Mrs. Xu got another 1 tael of silver reward, and left happily.

"Master, why did you give her an extra tael!"

As soon as Mrs. Xu left, the third son said distressedly.

"You are just a little Grandet. I have an identity seal, and you two didn't bring anything with you. Even if the matchmaker Xu is willing to do things, you will naturally need her to deal with you when you enter the house. Give her more money. Your identities are enough for us." Fill it out yourself!"

Qin Shao laughed.

There are black box operations in any era.

He gave an extra tael of silver, so Mistress Xu didn't have to ask him to report the names of the three people first, and said that they would just find a blank household deed and add the seal of the head of the household, Qin Shao, and they could fill in the remaining personnel by themselves.

"Master, shall we clean up tomorrow so that we can move slowly? Can I also have my own room?"

The third son looked at the house from room to room and asked happily.

Qin Shao nodded.

He jumped up happily.

The original owner of this house may have cleaned the inside in order to sell it for a good price.

The beds in some rooms have not been removed, and you can move in directly, just add some daily necessities.

"Tomorrow, you pack your things first. If Jin Da is fine, you can ask him to help. It will be more convenient to give him some money than to use outsiders."

Qin Shao said softly to Han Jinrong.

Look at the smile on her face, as bright as a blooming peony.

"Master, are you really going to the Yamen to be the capital?"

When Han Jinrong heard that Qin Shao was going to the Yamen tomorrow, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

The Ming Dynasty emphasized civility over martial arts. Although it was a good job to be a yamen servant in this county, it was all about maintaining law and order, which had certain risks and was also a hard job.

There are also some important reasons, which Han Jinrong didn't directly say. After all, in this troubled world, Qin Shao is for their livelihood, and she is worried that she will hurt him by speaking out.

Getting along with Qin Shao these days, Han Jinrong felt that he was not only literate, but also knowledgeable.

For people from their family, they always feel that studying is the best way out.

They lived and slept all the way, and experienced all kinds of dangers. Han Jinrong was reluctant to let Qin Shao do any more serious work.

"In today's troubled times, first find an errand to settle down, and then make other considerations when there are other ways out in the future, otherwise we will sit and eat, and the money will not be enough!"

"This yamen capital is basically a trivial matter. There is not much danger. You don't have to worry too much."

The house has been bought, and the settlement of several people is about to be resolved, and I am still looking for a job in the yamen.

Qin Shao's mood became joyful. When he spoke, his voice was gentle, his eyes were clear and smiling, without the coldness of the past, just like the moonlight at the junction, warm and bright.

Han Jinrong's face turned red involuntarily.

Qin Shao saw that Han Jinrong lowered her head, her fair neck gradually turned red, and her heart couldn't help beating.

There were only two people left in the room, there was no voice, and the air became a bit more beautiful.

"Master! The steward surnamed Liu is here again, outside!"

Xiao Sanzi's voice suddenly broke the silence in the air.
