Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

The sale of land is under the control of the government, but the officials above do not care about these trivial matters. They are all handled by the small officials below. The small officials are literate people who have not read sage books. Their salary is low, and they are basically filled by exploiting the lower classes. Purse.

It took one hundred taels to buy land, and another ten taels to bribe small officials.

The little official was a Han, and he spoke Chinese. Although he had a slight southern accent, Lin Yuan could still understand him.

"That piece of land is good." The little official called Jiang Gui, and he stubbornly said, "Although it is a wasteland, but it is fat, I also see you sincerely."

Lin Yuan was very flexible and stretched, and then handed the little official a paper currency with a hundred words on it: "I don't know if there are any big families around."

Jiang Gui looked at Lin Yuan on the road, with a good attitude, coupled with his young age and a smile on his face, he also made a lot of money, and his tone became affectionate: "I think you are young, I will choose the land for you. They are far away, so be careful, don’t make trouble."

"But if it's cold today, if you want to build a house, you will have to wait until the beginning of the spring for the foundation to be deepened." Jiang Gui, "I don't usually tell anyone this. It depends on your young age and cheerfulness. , Just tell you a few words."

Lin Yuan bowed his hands: "Thank you, sir."

Jiang Gui waved his hand: "I am a small official, where can I be called an adult? Just call me Brother Jiang. If you have anything to come to me, I will live in Tongluo Alley. The third house is my house."

Lin Yuan followed the kindness: "Don't dare to talk about Brother Jiang."

"Where do you usually live?" Jiang Gui received a bribe of twelve hundred wen, and he was in a good mood. His monthly salary was consistent, and he liked wine and meat on weekdays. Not to mention, these twelve taels are enough for him to be happy for two or three months.

Lin Yuan: "Living in a guest restaurant in the north of the city."

Jiang Gui thought for a while: "In this way, I have a neighbor. His family moved to Jiangnan last year, but the house was not sold. He left an old servant guarding the door. I told his relatives, you move and rent. What do you think about the monthly payment?"

Lin Yuan hesitated: "I just bought the land now, I don't have much money..."

"You call me Brother Sheng, I still tell you that you can't make it?" Jiang Gui waved his hand, "The monthly rent is two consistent. You can live in it, but the spring will start in March."

It’s really not that many. Lin Yuan has also inspected the housing price market in Wucheng these days. The price is high, but Tongluo Alley is a lively area. You can buy everything nearby. Life is convenient. The price is not bad. .

"Then thank you Jiang, when do you think I will move in?"

Jiang Gui: "It's okay to move today. I'm just letting go. You will wait for me then, and I will take you there."

After the agreement, Lin Yuan didn't give the paper money, nor did Jiang Gui ask. Anyway, he gave it to him. Although Jiang Gui was greedy for money, he knew that he could not eat up the fat in one bite.

The young man knew that Lin Yuan had found the house and quickly packed up his things. He was very excited and in a good mood: "I have to buy things for the young master. I didn't bring the four treasures of the study. I need to reset it! The spittoon, neither I know if there is any over there, let me say, the young master should buy a girl, some work, the girl has done meticulously."

"Isn't there?" Lin Yuan said, "just the mother and son before."

He asked the mother and son to be placed in the ruined temple first. The old quilt was also used by them, and then he would pick it up when he found a house.

Boys can do something capable, and mothers can clean the house and cook for them by the way.

Although Lin Yuan didn't touch Yang Chunshui with his fingers like the original owner, he had lived in the city since he was a child and only used natural gas. Now this kind of stove really doesn't work, and the young man can't cook.

Lin Yuan was willing to buy them and give them food, clothes and clothes, but he couldn't do good deeds and raise people well and do them lazily. That is not doing good deeds, but asking the ancestors to go home.

People have a job, and only when they earn what they need in life can they have a sense of belonging.

"Master is still smart." The young man patted his forehead, "Why didn't I expect it!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Then you are the young master."

Lin Yuan was smiling, and he was still a little unsure. He only had two hundred taels. During this time, he lived in a restaurant and bought ready-made clothes. The daily expenses were counted together. He spent close to two taels of silver. This is still in his hands. Case.

It took a hundred taels to buy land, eleven taels for bribes, and eighty-seven taels for the rest, and eighty-one taels for renting the house for three months.

It takes at least fifty taels to build a bigger house.

The tenants plant the land, but he wants to provide seeds and farm tools...

You have to find a place to get the money, or even if all the seed farming tools are finished, what do the tenants eat?It is not the same day that you plant the land, and you can harvest the next day. Can't everyone drink the northwest wind together?

These days, buying and selling is the fastest way to get money, but it is troublesome to get a commercial registration. It is not a question of failing to take the imperial examination. The main reason is that the tax is too heavy. You can’t walk around at will, you have to take a guide when you go to other places and ask for paperwork in the government, which is a lot of trouble.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the local master was the happiest profession, not one of them.

Zhu Yuanzhang’s wife, Ma Dajiao was the landlord’s daughter. In the early days of Zhu Yuanzhang, he made a fortune with the horse landlord. Otherwise, where would the money come from?

People usually go to work at 7:00 in the morning. In fact, it was originally only the time for officials to go to court. Maoshi refers to this time period. Later, it became common. It was called Yingmao at work and Fangya after get off work.

Lin Yuan and Xiao Si packed everything up, left the room, and waited at the gate early.

"This house is cleaned up, and the old servant cleans it every day. Because you are here, I asked the old servant to go to his relatives." Jiang Gui opened the door, "There is a well in the street, and I always fetch water there. "

Lin Yuan looked around in the house and was very satisfied. This house is not big. Once in and out, there is a main room and a penthouse, and a wood room. The wood room has no walls, but a shed with a stove. There is a cellar, although it is small, it is enough to store rations for small families.

The main room is a general room. The curtain separates two spaces. One side is used for hospitality and eating, and the other is the master bedroom. There is a bed and furniture. It is a bit like a modern one-bedroom, and it is quite large.

The penthouse is smaller, about the size of a normal bedroom, and it has a bed, but it has no furniture and can accommodate two adults on the bed.

Lin Yuan paid the rent for three months smoothly.

Jiang Gui looked at the banknotes, thinking about the money he could draw out, and was very satisfied.

"I'll be a neighbor from now on, just ask me for something." Jiang Gui picked up the money and smiled sincerely.

Lin Yuan said quickly: "Brother Jiang, I have something to discuss with you! Come, let's sit down and say, two or two, go and pour two glasses of water."

The young man's name is Erliang: "Just go."

Jiang Gui sat on the chair, a little strange: "What's the matter?"

Lin Yuan had a very good attitude: "Brother Jiang also knows that I am not wealthy in my hands. I have to build a house in the spring. There are many places to spend money, but there is no place to make money."

When Jiang Gui heard this, he sighed: "You are asking the wrong person. If I have a way, I still earn this hard money?"

"It's said that strong dragons don't suppress the snakes." Lin Yuan flattered, "Although the people think that the official official is in charge, but I know that it is Jiang Brothers who are really in charge, where is the official official above? Knowing that the people’s livelihood is suffering, is it not up to you to manage?"

Jiang Gui felt that the words were smooth: "You can't say that. You can't say this when you go out. We all depend on the official to live."

Lin Yuan: "Here is our brothers, there is nothing we can't say, what the younger brother said is all from the bottom of the heart, and there is no hypocrisy."

Jiang Gui: "Don't hide it from you. I have been a clerk for so many years. I have seen everyone, even those big masters, who are not as crowded as I am. They also have money for work, I'm afraid you won't dare to do it."

Lin Yuanshun climbed up the pole: "Brother Jiang, please give pointers."

Jiang Gui suddenly said seriously: "Give me advice, do you know the gambling houses in the city? You know?"

Of course Lin Yuan knew that this was loan sharking in a popular sense.

"Brother Jiang." Lin Yuan pretended to hesitate, "Now that the world is not good, can I get it back after putting the seal?"

Jiang Guichong and Lin Yuan blinked: "You can trust me, so I will help you. There is a handle in the south of the city that specializes in collecting debts. All of his men are good hands, all murderers who lick blood with the tip of a knife."

This Jiang Gui is simply black and white, and it can be mixed into one in modern times!

I also know that I can get closer and help myself with my own benefits. If this person is still alive in troubled times, he might really do something.

Lin Yuan: "Brother Jiang, I have to think about it. Those gamblers are in a hurry. I'm afraid they will cut me off. Look at me, there is a young man next to me. I'm timid and afraid of death!"

Jiang Gui laughed loudly: "Brother Lin, the courageous person will die, and the cowardly person will be starved to death. You can think about it again. If you want to do it, find me. I'll go back first, and the lady is still waiting for me to eat."

Lin Yuan sent Jiang Gui to the door, and the two exchanged a few words and agreed to meet frequently when they were free.

After Jiang Gui left, Xiao Si came back with a bucket in two or two.

Lin Yuan remembered that there was no water at home and no pot to boil water, um...

What can you do to get money in winter?The inability to put the seal was against the basic moral values ​​cultivated by Lin Yuan in modern times. Although he knew it was a huge profit, Lin Yuan still gave up this choice while bleeding in his heart.

Lin Yuan suddenly asked, "Twenty-two, if you have a little money, what are you going to buy?"

Two and two were wiping the table. He disliked that the old servant could not wipe it cleanly. When Lin Yuan asked, he said smoothly, "Buy meat to eat, fat."

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up!

to make!

Found the goal.

The ancients were short of oil and water. At this time, there was no modern feed for pig raising, and there was no special pig farm. Lard was not enough to consume.Although vegetable oil began to be consumed in the Song Dynasty, it has always been the leader in sesame oil extraction.

At that time, the method of squeezing the oil had been used. Soybeans produced a very low oil yield using this method. Later, with the soaking method, the oil yield became higher, and the limelight overwhelmed the sesame.

Nowadays, the common people can't afford animal fats, and the sesame oil is rising fast. The small family cooks, they use chopsticks to wrap a cloth, soak the pot with oil, and they are all greedy.

Lin Yuan: "Is soybeans expensive?"

Two or two are somehow those who have been to the market: "Five cents per catty, cheap."

Yes, soy oil.

Lin Yuan was full of confidence and watched me make a lot of money.

As for the business registration, isn't there a local snake like Jiang Gui?

The author has something to say: "Take the handle": the underworld leader.

Regarding vegetable oil, rapeseed oil extraction was done in the mid-Ming Dynasty. Even if Lin Yuan wanted to squeeze its oil, there are not many races and the raw materials are not available.

It must be planted in the future. After all, rapeseed has a high oil yield.

The Song Dynasty used sesame oil. When the Song Dynasty was at its most affluent, pancakes could appear in the stalls. The Song Dynasty was a dynasty rich in the world, with a GDP accounting for 60 to 80% of the world’s GDP in the same period. dynasty.

Pity.
