The biography of Gu Qi, a poor girl

The carriages and horses stopped and went for five days in a row.During this period, Gu Qi went into the mountain several times on and off. He didn't catch many prey, enough to eat and drink all the way, and he also exchanged some silver coins one after another.

Until he crossed the boundary of Jiangzhoufu Road, Liu Qingshan got off the carriage and went to the rear to ask Gu Danian:

"Da Nian, you will be Jiangling County before you go forward. What are your plans for the future with the seventh girl?"

"I..." Gu Danian originally wanted to ask Liu Qingshan to help him find a place to live in the Zhou Mansion, but when he looked at Gu Qi's expression, he couldn't say anything.

Along the way, he became more and more embarrassed about the girl, and he was very angry.

"Uncle Qingshan, I want to inquire with you. Are there any villages in Jiangling County that are willing to accept foreign households? It's better to be closer to the county and town." Ignoring Gu Danian's entanglement, Gu Qi asked seriously.

"Under Jiangling County, there is He Song Town, this time, the Miss Yu Fu and the ladies who are traveling with you are going to the old house in He Song Town to accompany the old lady of Yu Fu.

I remember that there were several villages in Yufu located in Xiaoqi Village at the bottom of Hesong Town.

There are many villagers in the village who have industries in the town, so Xiaoqi Village is one of the wealthiest places in Shili Baxiang.In addition, Xiaoqi Village is also close to the official road, and there are usually many merchants traveling from the south to the north. The folk customs are open and not very exclusive.

If you haven't decided where to settle down, Xiaoqi Village is a good choice. "

Gu Qingshan followed Zhou Li to Jiangling County several times, and because Zhou Mansion was related to Yu Mansion, he followed the main family to visit He Song Town in previous years, and he was familiar with the surrounding villages of He Song Town. The prosperous and prosperous Xiaoqi Village is a good place to go.

Gu Qi was also a little moved when he heard it, and asked again, "What is the price of farmland in Xiaoqi Village?"

"Xiaoqi Village is not only close to He Song Town, but also surrounded by two water systems, so the fields near Xiaoqi Village are more fertile and easy to cultivate than other places. I remember that the output in Yujiazhuangzi has always been good.

The price of natural farmland is also higher. Some good farmland can be sold for eight taels of silver per mu, while ordinary medium-sized farmland can be sold for five to six silvers per mu.The poorer land would cost four taels of silver per mu. "

Gu Qi calculated that he could buy five or six acres of fertile land if he exchanged all the money he had.

Knowing that Gu Qi had bought some money from hunting along the way, Liu Qingshan said: "If you want to buy additional non-arable land to build a house in Xiaoqi Village, the price of the land is not cheap. In addition to the cost of materials, you must prepare at least one hundred taels for the cost of hiring people. silver."

"Why is it so expensive?!" Gu Danian was stunned when he heard this:

"In our Gujia Village, if you want to buy a piece of land, you only need seven or eight taels of silver at most, and then build three large tile-roofed houses with green bricks and build a yard. The 30 taels of silver are guaranteed to be solid and beautiful. How come it will cost hundreds of taels in Xiaoqi Village."

Liu Qingshan explained with a light smile: "Jiangzhou Prefecture has many rivers, and water transportation is developed, and it has always been rich.

In addition to the businessmen coming from the south to the north, the most people from the nearby prefectures came to Jiangzhou prefecture to seek work. If they wanted to settle down more, the land price was naturally expensive.

Not to mention those in the city of Jiangling County, but to say that the house in the town of Xiaoxiao Hesong costs hundreds of taels of silver anywhere.

It's still in a bad location, old and shabby.If the location is better, the purchase is bigger, and the money is less.

As I said earlier, Xiaoqi Village is not far from the outskirts of Hesong Town. The houses in the town are expensive, and the village is naturally cheap. "

Not only Gu Danian, but also Gu Qi was a little surprised.

It turns out that housing prices are not only ridiculously expensive in modern society, but are always expensive in good locations.

To put it bluntly, it is still determined by the relationship between supply and demand.In remote places, a dozen or 20 taels of silver can be purchased, and a thousand and 2 taels in prime locations is not too much.

"If you don't plan to buy land and build a house for the time being, is it convenient to rent it?" There is no way, the situation is pressing, and with the money Gu Qi has now, it is impossible to even think about selling the land and building it yourself.

"It's convenient to rent. In Xiaoqi Village, many villagers have properties in Hesong Town, and most of the old houses left in the village are used for rent. The whole courtyard is more expensive, but it is cheaper to rent a single house." Liuqingshan Road.

This is the difference between a whole lease and a shared lease, Gu Qi thought.

After discussing with Gu Danian, Gu Qi decided to settle in Xiaoqi Village first: "Uncle Qingshan, I don't know how far Xiaoqi Village is from here?"

"He Songzhen is about a dozen miles ahead, and our convoy will go to the Yu family's old house in He Songzhen first. When we get there, I will accompany you to find an inn in the town to settle down, and you too Stop by and get some clothes, shoes and socks.

I just asked the eldest young master, the main family will also stay in Hesong Town for a few days, and the time is free. I will accompany you tomorrow to find a tooth person to go to Xiaoqi Town to ask about the lease. "Liu Qingshan said.

"Uncle Lao Qingshan has taken care of him all the way. Gu Qi has nothing to give now, so he can only thank him here. When my father and I settle down in the future, I will definitely come to the door with a gift to thank him." Gu Qi solemnly said. .

Liu Qingshan chuckled when he heard the words: "You girl, what are you polite, it's just a small matter."

Gu Qi didn't speak anymore, but he remembered Liu Qingshan's kindness in his heart.

It is too false to report these again in the future.To be honest, go into the mountains a few more times after settling down, and come back with some wild animals.In the future, you can exchange money to buy gifts, or leave some furs with good skin color to make them and send them to Liu Qingshan.

Facing Liu Qingshan, Gu Qi was actually a little ashamed.That day, when he came to Pingzhen again, Gu Qi asked Liu Qingshan for ten pennies using a few bundles of firewood from Gu Danian.In the end, Chai also confiscated, and gave her two extra pancakes to satisfy her stomach.

Gu Qi knew that the ten wenchai money was subsidized by Liu Qingshan in private.

The situation at that time, Gu Qi thinks about it now, and also knows that what he did is inauthentic, kowtow a few times, which means a bit of moral kidnapping.

Goodbye now, but Liu Qingshan was busy with himself and Gu Danian, which made Gu Qi feel even more uncomfortable.Thank you is also sincere.
