Secretary Shi glanced at Gu Jinli and said, "These two hills are relatively large, with a combined area of ​​250 acres. The calculation for your family is one tael of silver per acre, and the two hills are 250 taels of silver." "

These two hills produce pine oil and are connected with Zhuangzi. If sold normally, they can be sold for at least four taels of silver per acre. Perhaps the county magistrate sold it to the Gu family as wasteland, which is really a bargain price.

Gu Jinli was pleasantly surprised when he heard this: "Thank you very much, uncle!"

Secretary Shi waved his hand: "Don't thank me yet. These two mountains are sold together with Zhuangzi. If you want to buy the mountains, you have to buy Zhuangzi. This Zhuangzi is not that cheap. There are eighty acres of paddy fields in Zhuangzi, forty If you want to buy it, you will need..."

Secretary Shi took out the abacus, flicked his fingers on the beads, and after a crackling sound of the abacus, gave her the number: "Five hundred and fifty taels, plus the two mountains, it's eight hundred taels."

Gu Jinli was shocked when he heard this.

Seeing this, Secretary Shi thought that her family could not afford such a big sum of money, and said with great pity: "This is the lowest price that County Magistrate Xu can give to your family. The paddy field is only five taels of silver per acre for you. It's a lot of money." The price is hard to find even with lanterns, it would be a pity to miss it.”

Gu Jinli took out two banknotes and put them on the table with a clatter. There was uncontrollable excitement in his voice: "Uncle, I'll buy them!"

Secretary Shi was really shocked when he looked at the two five hundred taels of silver notes... He thought they were poor people, but how could he know they were wealthy people! OK, sold to you.

But Secretary Shi became curious and asked Gu Jinli: "Little girl, are your spices very profitable?"

Otherwise, how could you come up with so much money?

Gu Jinli smiled and said, "A bag of small things worth five cents is not as good as one tael of minced fresh sauce. You can't earn much money." That's strange.

The cost of the tofu, spices and mosquito coils she makes is very low. Even if she only sells them for a few pennies, she can still make a lot of money. What she sells is low cost.

Secretary Shi asked out of curiosity. After hearing the answer, he didn't say anything more and started asking Gu Jinli for household registration and preparing to apply for land deeds and other things for her.

Gu Dashan handed over his family's household registration: "Thank you, sir."

He also made a special statement: "The name of my second daughter is written on the land deed between Shantou and Zhuangzi."

Secretary Shi was surprised when he heard this. He pointed at Gu Jinli and said, "Write this little girl's name?"

Shouldn't I write the father's name?

Gu Dashan smiled and nodded: "Well, this Shantou and Zhuangzi were bought by my second daughter. It should be written in her name. Let her take it out with her in the future, and she can have some wealth with her."

Secretary Shi was very impressed after hearing this. He became polite to Gu Dashan, took over the household registration, and quickly completed the land deeds for Shantou and Zhuangzi, and handed them to Gu Jinli: "Take a look, there is no problem. It's on the land deeds and the Yamen booklet." Make a fingerprint."

Everything sold will be recorded in a special book in the yamen, and the buyer must put his fingerprint on it, so that if there is any dispute in the future, there will be a basis for it.

Gu Jinli did as he was told.

After buying Shantou and Zhuangzi, she asked again: "Uncle Shi, how much does the Fugui Building in Qingfu Town cost? I want to buy it."

At dawn today, Qi Kangle came to her and said that he had not told Gu Daya and asked Gu Jinli to buy the restaurant first, and she would ask Gu Daya in the next few days.

Shi Shuli said: "The price of that wealthy building is three hundred and fifty taels."

He looked up at Gu Jinli, his eyes clearly written, Do you still have any money?

Gu Jinli was very surprised when he heard that the Fugui Building in the town has two floors, a wing room for the take-out guys and a back house. There is also a well in the restaurant. It is the largest shop in Qingfu Town, and the price is three hundred and fifty taels. Not high.

She took out another one hundred and fifty taels of silver notes and handed them to Secretary Shi: "Uncle Shi, take it."

Secretary Shi had already taken it, but he looked at Gu Dashan and almost couldn't help but said to him: Your second daughter is really rich. How did you give birth to a little God of Wealth?

Gu Dashan saw the envy in Secretary Shi's eyes and smiled happily. His Xiaoyu was good at making money and also loved to save money. She had saved a lot of private money by relying on the income from the soybean oil and pharmaceutical workshops.

Secretary Shi was hurt by Gu Dashan's smile. He had no daughter and suddenly wanted to have one.

Secretary Shi quickly gave Gu Jinli the deed of the Fugui Building in the town.

Gu Jinli took it, put his fingerprints on the book, and put it away happily. However, thinking that he was so poor again, he felt heartbroken for the money he had just spent.

After Gu Jinli bought Shantou, Zhuangzi, and Fugui Building, several families began to buy fields they were optimistic about. Almost every family bought more than 20 acres of paddy fields and more than 20 acres of dry land. Everyone was happy.

With these fields that can be passed on to future generations, they can also give an explanation to their ancestors.

The Luo family not only bought land, but also bought a two-bedroom house in the county, but they didn't buy a shop and they didn't have enough money. I spent nearly 500 taels of silver to buy paddy fields, dry land and a house. I also had to leave a sum of money to build a new house in the village and prepare for emergencies, so I had to give up the promising shop.

Secretary Shi said: "It is not easy to buy shops in the county. If you don't buy it, this shop will be bought by the rich households in the county tomorrow. It would be a pity."

They were able to buy the Zou family's property in Tianfu County because Magistrate Xu had specially reserved it for them. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to buy it, and it would have been robbed by the powerful and wealthy families in the county.

Gu Dashan still had some money in his hand, so he asked Secretary Shi: "Sir, how much money does the shop that Brother Wu likes cost?"

Secretary Shi: "It's not expensive. It only costs three hundred taels. It's really cheap. You know the Fugui Building in the county. The Hu family spent one thousand two hundred taels to buy it. This shop is next to Fugui Building." On the same street, great location.”

It’s not a loss if you buy it, brother!

Gu Dashan was very moved, but he thought that Gu Jinli would go to Fucheng to buy someone soon, and he was hesitant to buy for fear of not having enough money.

Gu Jinli said: "Dad, let's buy the shop. We can go to Fucheng to buy people after selling the spices."

Money can be circulated, don’t worry about this.

After Gu Dashan heard this, he immediately said to Secretary Shi: "Sir, my family has bought it."

Not long after, Gu Dashan got the house deed of the shop, and he was very happy. The shop was in Cui's name. He added an extra shop to Cui's dowry, and he felt less guilty.

Several families bought the field shops they wanted. After thanking Secretary Shi, they went home happily.

When passing by Qingfu Town, Gu Jinli said: "Dad, let's go to Grandpa Mi's house. That village used to be watched by the servants of the Zou family, but now all the servants of the Zou family have been sold out and there is no one." Look, I want to ask Grandpa Mi and his wife to help look after Zhuangzi."

Mr. Mi is a member of Guanzhu Hu, and he is trustworthy. Moreover, Mr. Mi and his wife have no children. Inviting them to visit Zhuangzi can also give them something to rely on in their later years, so that they will not be too miserable. It is a win-win situation.

Gu Dashan naturally agreed: "Although Mr. Mi doesn't like to talk much, he is a person who handles things properly. It would be feasible to ask him to read Zhuangzi."
