"You know what to say and what not to say?"

After leaving the German hotel, Liu Jun said to the guards beside him.∽↗∽↗,

The guards said lies, "We saw nothing, heard nothing, and knew nothing."

"Very good, each person is rewarded with ten silver dollars." Liu Jun laughed. After laughing, he felt that he should rent a house, "Let's go, let's rent a house."

Several guards looked at each other and had to keep up with helplessly. Although they didn't understand what kind of house the emperor wanted, why did he still have to rent it so troublesome?

As soon as Liu Jun waved his hand, a Jinyiwei Qianhu came over in the dark.

"Lead the way in front of you, find a tenant nearby to rent it. Don't be too big or too good. It's an ordinary Sihe Courtyard." The Qianhu also had a feeling of chaos in the wind. The emperor wanted to play with a white suit, but if he found an ordinary Sihe Courtyard, it would be too difficult to protect the security.

However, Liu Jun did not give him the opportunity to advise him. Moreover, the ground in the capital is relatively peaceful now. Especially after the crackdown, all kinds of monsters and demons changed their careers to work in workshops, or moved to border areas to emigrate and reclaim land. Some of them were not aware of the current affairs and were arrested for road construction and mining.

In addition, there are now nine admiral yamen in the capital, five cities, military and military yamen in the capital, as well as powerful yamen in all sizes, such as the Police Department and Urban Management Bureau, Jinyiwei and Dongchang. It can be said that the capital can now not close the doors at night and not pick up the leftovers on the road.

Liu Jun asked to find it near the German Hotel. The German Hotel is located in Heng Street next to Qianmen Street, not far from Zhengyangmen. The Jinyiwei Qianhu is worthy of being a local snake, and he is also familiar with the inner and outer cities.

I soon thought of a good place, the vegetable market outside Xuanwumen.

There are many vegetable markets outside Xuanwu Gate, and many streets and alleys in the capital. The vegetable market is also called Caishi Street. In the Ming Dynasty, it was already the largest vegetable market in Beijing, with many vegetable stalls and restaurants along the street.

However, Caishi Street was not a murder execution ground at this time.

In the Ming Dynasty, the murder execution ground was in the West Market. Historically, Caishi Street was changed to Caishikou and became the murder execution ground after the Qing Dynasty entered Beijing. Now, the execution ground is still in the West Market. Otherwise, the Jinyiwei Qianhu was full of courage and dared not introduce the emperor to rent a house on Caishi Street.

Caishi Street is outside Xuanwu Gate, and Xuanwu Gate is next to Zhengyang Gate. Caishi Street has only been simply rectified and has not been renovated in large blocks, so the houses here are relatively cheap. Many old sihe courtyards are still retained. If you go to Ximen, most of the old sihe courtyards have been converted into three or four-story building areas.

When I arrived at Caishi Street, it was indeed very lively. Now it has become the largest vegetable wholesale and sales center in the capital. The large vegetable shops and vegetable shops are full of various vegetables, and people are very lively.

The capital now has bustling commercial streets such as Qianmen and East and West Streets, and there are also many special wholesale markets such as Bull Market and Ma Vegetable Market.

The old city was renovated and moved away many people in the outer city, but after the renovation of the outer city, a large number of businessmen moved in. Now the population of the capital has exceeded one million people.

There is a huge demand for all kinds of commodities, and vegetables are also indispensable daily necessities for the people.

Every day, vegetable farmers in the suburbs carry carriages on their shoulders, transporting a large amount of fresh vegetables to Beijing, and rushing here to serve the dishes.

Liu Jun has seen many small courtyards in succession, but he doesn't choose those better ones, just picking the average ones. Finally, he chose a small courtyard next to an alley at Caishijiekou. The courtyard is very small and only once in.

When you enter the street, you will directly reach the yard, running through the central axis. The houses are all single-story, surrounded by a reclining house, a main house, and a wing room.

Although the courtyard is small, it is very clean. There are grape trellis, jujube trees and an old locust tree in the courtyard. Liu Jun fell in love with it at a glance. Because it was just as soon as he entered the courtyard, there was no distinction between front, back and inside and outside the courtyard.

The only thing that made Liu Jun not very satisfied was that there was no toilet in the yard and he got the public thatched cottage in the alley.

The original owner of this yard is said to be a head of the Ministry of Works. He had already bought a new house in the front door, and the old yard here planned to rent it for rent and collect some rent.

He entrusted the house to the Yashang and rented it on their behalf.

The man was a wise man, an ordinary house, but he said it was full of ceilings. In fact, this house was very ordinary, but Liu Jun fell in love with it. The whole alley was full of such a small courtyard, and the people living next to him were mainly vegetable merchants selling vegetables in the vegetable market.

"I plan to buy this yard. Can you help me contact the owner?" Liu Jun looked at it and planned to buy it.

When the tooth heard that the young man actually planned to change the rent to buy, his face was even better. Of course, renting a house is not as good as buying a house, and the more he charges for buying a house.

"Sir, you have a very good vision. We have three main rooms, four wing rooms, two south rooms, one ear room and one gatehouse. There are eleven houses in total, covering an area of ​​half an acre. And it is close to Caishi Street outside Xuanwumen. This location is bustling and lively, with convenient transportation. There are public cars when you go out. Not far to the south is the bustling Ximen Street, and Qianmen Street to the east is the real prime location."

After a lot of talk, the dentist told Liu Jun that if he planned to buy this house, it would be correct. The house price here was roughly thirty yuan per room, so the price of this yard was actually not high, which was 340 yuan silver dollars.

This is the salary of an ordinary official for a year.

"Help me contact the homeowner right away, I'm going to have an interview."

It is very cost-effective to buy a small courtyard house for more than 300 yuan.

Seeing that Liu Jun was indeed interested in buying, and Liu Jun was dressed up, but he was wearing several followers, and he looked very imposing. As soon as the deal was played, he immediately ran to the front door to find the owner.

Liu Jun and the others simply sat in the Sihe Courtyard and waited.

In less than half an hour, Yaman arrived with a middle-aged man.

"Do you want to buy my house?" the middle-aged man was also straightforward and asked straight to the point.

"That's right."

"Eight hundred yuan, cash in cash." The landlord offered the price.

Liu Jun couldn't help laughing. The man looked like a businessman. The house price nearby was there, and one square meter was about one silver dollar, or a room was about thirty yuan. His eleven houses were only about 300 square meters, and half acre of land was only more than 300 square meters. No matter how it was calculated, it was worth about 300 silver dollars.

But he was eight hundred yuan at the beginning.

I heard that this person is in charge of the Ministry of Works. However, Liu Jun has never seen him. There are many officials of the sixth rank in the capital, so it is normal that he has never seen him.

"Your house is as soon as you enter the yard. The eleven rooms are about half an acre of land. According to the price here, it is about 300 yuan. I will add some, 35 yuan."

"If you want, then we will sign the contract now, and I will pay the cash after signing it."

This finally made the head moved. It doesn't matter whether he sells the house or not, so there is no hurry. But if he can get cash immediately, it's still good to have 350 yuan.

The tooth man pulled him to the side and explained in detail. The tooth merchant wanted to promote the business. Sure enough, he quickly convinced the landlord.

"Then it's 350 yuan, and the current bank will be sold."

Yaren was also very happy to see the transaction. Although the transaction was a bit too fast, many of his methods were useless. For example, Yaren's most commonly used avoidance is that he did not let both sides know when bargaining, but he would transfer it all to profit from it. However, the transaction was quickly completed and the cash income was still good.

Yaren led both parties to the county government office and found a bookstore that specialized in handling this business.

Issuing a contract, both parties sign, and then paying.

The house price of Siheyuan is 350 yuan. In addition, Liu Jun also had to pay Yaren a 3% treasury of 1000 yuan, a total of 1000 yuan silver dollars, and paid 80% deed tax and 28 yuan silver dollars to the yamen. In addition, there was a 50% thunder fee for 1000 yuan, 70 cents treasury of 50 cents.

Among them, the owner was paid 350 yuan, the tooth merchant was paid 11 yuan, 70 cents, and the yamen was paid 28 yuan.

There are 389 octagonal pieces in total.

Various taxes, tooth and handling fees other than the house payment account for more than 10% of the house payment.

It took less than an hour to get eleven yuan, seventeen cents and five cents. It made a big profit and was in a very good mood.

Teeth is also an intermediary, with dental merchants in all walks of life, and even special dental businesses.

The court also had strict management of dental businesses. To become a dental merchant, you had to apply for dental patches from the court. This is the dental merchant's business license. When applying for dental patches, you need to pay the dental payment. At the same time, each dental merchant needs to pay the dental tax to the court based on his business performance.

Dental merchants all have their own organizational dentistry. Dental merchants are not allowed to conduct serial operations, and Dentals are not allowed to operate across markets, varieties, and industries. If they are house dentists, they can only operate house rentals. If they are cows and horse dentists, they can only operate cattle and horse transactions.

There are more than 300 dental shops in the capital, and thousands of dental shops have tooth patches. Although these dental shops have different types of business, they are mostly the same business methods. There are generally three types of fooling around. One is to act on behalf of the seller. Usually they also have large warehouses and warehouses, such as grain shops, fishing shops, etc. dental shops often take advantage of the situation where buyers and sellers are not familiar with the market conditions and make extra profits. If the goods are left at the end and the seller needs money in urgent need of money, dental shops can lend usury loans, and do not pay in time after the goods are sold to seek interest.

Second, the dental bank is specially agent for the buyer. It generally has a contract with the buyer, specifying quality, price, quantity, delivery date, etc. It not only receives a large amount of payment in advance, uses interest, but also uses the means of reducing the level and price, large scales and small scales to obtain huge profits.

The third is that it is a business that operates both purchasing and selling agents. It generally has strong funds and engages in purchasing and selling agents brokerage business. Some also operate self-operated purchasing and selling, making a lot of profits.

From the market perspective, tooth merchants have a great role in promoting economic development.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the management of Yashang was chaotic, which led to various high-interest exploitation, riding the market, avoiding the market, and even the imperial court could not receive their tooth taxes. The reputation of Yashang and Yashang was also very bad.

However, after the New Dynasty, the court also carried out a comprehensive rectification of the dental businessmen, re-examined the dental people's qualifications and re-issed them to dental stickers. The levy of tooth tax was very strict, and the entire dental business market became standardized.

Liu Jun carefully observed the entire house transaction process from beginning to end. From the commission of the tooth merchant to the charges of the yamen clerks, they were all very regular. Although the tooth merchant also collected the book tax on behalf of others, and the yamen also collected the document fee in addition to the contract, they were all within the normal range.

Liu Jun paid all the money directly, and the dentist also invited Baojia, the shop where the alley was located, as insurance. After they took the deposit as insurance, Liu Jun gave them five cents of silver each.

After the matter was finished, Liu Jun invited the nanny, and the guarantor was the owner of the house and the yamen's bookshop to have dinner together. As a result, the owner rushed to treat him, but the yamen's bookshop refused to go. The limelight was tight during this period, and he did not dare to eat and drink casually.

In the end, the homeowner bought two packs of milk powder and gave it to the library, but he refused a few times and accepted it.

Liu Jun saw this, but it was just two packs of milk powder, which was not worth a dollar. Of course, Liu Jun would not say much. Without the book office, the owner invited Liu Jun and others to a dumpling shop at the corner of the Caishi Street to have a meal of dumplings.

After eating dumplings, Liu Jun also got the key to the yard, which was officially completed and became the owner of the yard.

"Look for a few craftsmen to build a thatched cottage in this corner of the courtyard."

"Build another horse shed."

There are trees in the yard, stone tables and chairs, and a well. The only disadvantage is that there is no thatched house or horse shed. When Liu Jun is unwilling to live here in the future, he has to go to the public toilet at the entrance of the alley every time he goes to the toilet.

I heard that the yard had changed its owner, and the neighbors next door came over. When I saw that the new owner was a young scholar, I was very polite. One of them asked about Liu Jun's identity around the bush. Liu Jun said to Lina that he was a Hanlin editor, so it was difficult for him to change his identity again at this time, so he told the lie again.

When I heard that the new neighbor was actually the master of the Hanlin Courtyard, the neighbors selling vegetables were shocked, and their attitude was immediately polite, and even with a little caution.

When he heard that Liu Jun wanted to build a thatched cottage and a horse shed, a middle-aged man immediately patted his chest and said that it would be fine to leave it to him. It turned out that he was a carpenter and his son was a bricklayer. Building an thatched cottage was naturally a trivial matter.

Liu Jun took out ten yuan directly, "That's a laborious task. This is a bit of hard work. After the thatched cottage and horse shed are built, the amount of materials will be calculated separately."

The carpenter refused to accept it and refused for a long time, but in the end he was willing to get five dollars.

"It's enough to buy materials for five dollars, and the more I'll be the wages I'll collect."

After a while, the neighbors brought some small gifts to celebrate. After receiving the gift, Liu Jun had to make some statements. Seeing that the meal was coming, he invited everyone to have a meal at the restaurant.

"It's so expensive to go to a restaurant, and you have to pay taxes when you eat. We are the vegetable market, so what is it for free to make. Just buy a few dishes in the vegetable market and cook them yourself."

They were all ordinary people, and there were no such taboos as wealthy families. Therefore, the neighbors asked their wives and daughters to buy vegetables, and then brought them over. As soon as the kitchen utensils in the house were ready-made, they directly started cooking in the kitchen.

Liu Jun was unable to refuse his affection, so he asked the guards to buy a jar of Shaoxing rice wine, and bought some cooked food such as beef, pork belly, fried peanuts, etc., and set up three tables in the main hall. Liu Jun and his neighbors men, neighbors and women, and Liu Jun's guards.

Everyone has mixed cups, but it’s not a happy time. After a meal, they will be fully mature immediately. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
