Chapter 98 Establishing a Deed (Addition [-])

Zhu Hao returned to the shop and went to see Su Xigui with Zhu Niang.

Su Xigui ignored his business and stayed in Anlu to wait for the results of drying the salt. As time went by, the first batch of salt gradually took shape, and his heart settled down.

It seems that Zhu Hao didn't lie to him.

Thinking about it, if there is no "secret recipe", how could Zhu Niang's family get snowflake salt and sell it to him?
"Boss, Nanjing has been in a rush lately. Our snowflake salt is in short supply. If we don't make another batch... I'm afraid the regular customers will come to other places."

Before Su Xigui went downstairs to meet Zhu Niang's mother and son, his subordinates were reporting to him on business matters.

Su Xigui spoke with a bit of impatience: "I'm not thinking of a way, get out the salt quickly? Do you think the salt is blown by the strong wind? Since you will patronize other places, you are not considered a regular customer. I don't believe there are people who can eat more Is this better salt? Is it true that everyone is an emperor and eats tribute salt every day?"

Downstairs compartment.

Su Xigui came in and asked his subordinates to put down a wooden box, and when it was opened, it was full of land deeds.

"For the time being, I only received [-] mu of land. The specific address will be shown to you. It is all mature fields for more than ten years, with tenants... connected to a nearby farm, and I plan to buy the neighboring farm. The county seat is only more than thirty miles away..."

According to Zhu Hao's previous request, the land that Su Xigui helped buy should not be too close to the county seat, but it should not be too far away either.

The land closer to the county seat is generally more expensive, and no one develops real estate these days. The main purpose of buying land outside the city is farming. As long as the fields are good, the distance from the county seat is nothing more than being able to go to the city to escape in time when robbery occurs...

But as long as it is outside the city wall, the bandits will not be able to stop you if they intend to rob you, and often the government's apportionment is more ruthless than the bandits.

The distance from the county seat is also to avoid being found out by the Zhu family.

Zhu Niang looked at Tian Qi, feeling a little excited, but she didn't reach out to take the wooden box.

Zhu Hao smiled and didn't reach out.

Su Xigui looked at Zhu Hao, squinted his eyes and said, "I know what you think, but you should know the local land price in Anlu. If you want to change it to Jiangnan, an acre of mature land costs ten taels of silver, and five thousand taels is almost enough. I bought five hundred acres of land... now it's only half of it."

Zhu Hao laughed and said, "How could I not trust Su Dongzhu? It's just that this field was bought in the name of Su Dongzhu, and it still needs to be owned by our family."

"It's easy to handle." Su Xigui said, "I'll find someone to be a witness today, and the contract will be finalized, so we can't miss the next spring sowing."

Zhu Hao muttered, "I want to rush to plant some cabbage this winter."

Su Xigui let out a disdainful sneer: "It looks like you've never planted the ground, you kid. The cabbage is all planted before the ambush. Planting cabbage in winter...can't even sprout."

Zhu Hao followed with a smile: "I want to grow some out-of-season vegetables, can't I? Su Dongzhu, you are really lenient."

Zhu Niang hurriedly scolded: "Xiaohao, don't be disrespectful to Dongzhu Su."

"It's okay, Mrs. Third Zhu, the tone of your son's words... I appreciate it very much. If he can really grow some out-of-season vegetables, I will ask him to buy a batch to try."

Su Xigui himself is not a person who sticks to etiquette, and he had a very happy chat with Zhu Hao.

On the contrary, Zhu Niang seemed redundant on the side, and it seemed that letting her son come alone would have a better effect than now.

Su Xigui's eyes fell on Zhu Niang: "Third Madam, who is the name of this purchased farm?"

Zhu Niang said: "My son is fine."

Su Xigui nodded: "Third Madam is all about thinking about the child, but if it is really recorded in his name, the Zhu family will make up their minds in the future... I am afraid that you will be alone and unable to resist."

Zhu Niang seemed to have thought about this question long ago, and her tone was firm: "This is to prepare for the future of the child. No matter how unreasonable the Zhu family is, they can't ignore the family's affection, right?"

"Ha ha."

Su Xigui smiled without saying a word.

Zhu Hao reminded: "Su Dongzhu, in fact, as long as you don't tell me, how will the Zhu family know that we bought the land? If you want to grab it, you have to be famous, right?"

Su Xigui waved his hand: "Things belong to you, you can dispose of them whatever you want, I just kindly remind you, if there is any offense... Heh, the salt will be collected in a few days, unfortunately, Young Master Zhu, you can't go with me."

"no need."

Zhu Hao took the wooden box over, carefully looked at the land deeds one by one, and said, "Sign up the deeds quickly, and I have to go back to the palace to study, if the Zhu family really comes to snatch it... At worst, I will just take the land Donate to Prince Xing's Mansion, even if it is given to the tenants... it can't be cheap for the Zhu family!"

Su Xigui raised his thumbs up: "How else can I say that you, Young Master Zhu, are courageous! One day, I will have a way to keep your land!"

……

……

No notary was found.

It was Zhu Hao, Su Xigui and Zhu Niang who sat down and signed the contract.

Going to the government to register again, there is basically no major problem with the ownership of the land, unless one party insists on causing a lawsuit, but because of the contract in black and white, this kind of lawsuit is not pleasing to both sides.

Come out from the inn.

Zhu Niang asked puzzledly: "Xiaohao, what did Dongzhu Su mean when he said that there is a way to keep our land?"

Zhu Haodao: "Su Dongzhu's implication is that the grandmother or the second uncle lead people to rob our land, and he can use the government's way to help us keep the land. After all, he sold the land to us. Some...unconventional means may be used. It sounds good, but it's best not to go to this point, this Su Dongzhu also has selfish intentions, so we must guard against it."

Zhu Niang nodded: "That's right, if he asks us to sign any debt contract, we will lose everything."

Zhu Niang smiled and said: "Mother, they bought us a prescription for [-] taels of silver, and they didn't count the hard work to help us reclaim land locally. Even if we want to guard against it, we don't have to be like guarding against thieves, right?"

Zhu Niang thought about it too.

If Su Xigui really had evil intentions, he could just not give five thousand taels of silver, why would he buy the land first and then plan to take it away?
Zhu Hao said: "Mother, I'm going back to the palace early today... I have discussed with the son to study together, so I can't spend more time with you and my aunt."

Zhu Niang nodded: "It's okay, studying hard is more important than anything else."

"Hey, actually, mother, it doesn't matter whether you study hard or not, the most important thing is to have a good relationship with Xing Wangfu...Forget it, I can't explain it to you now, but you will know later, I have found the trick now, just wait Let's fly to the top with your son." Zhu Hao showed the childlike ambition unique to children.

But it made Zhu Niang smile.

……

……

Zhu Hao was not in a hurry to return to the palace.

It's about taking care of your own business.

Yu San informed him very early on that he had found a troupe from out of town and was willing to offer it directly so that Zhu Hao could go over and have a talk.

Since it was about business, of course Zhu Hao had to show some sincerity. After noon, he and Yu San went to meet the owner of the theatrical troupe who lived in an inn in the outskirts of the city. He was a man in his forties, and he looked a little lonely gas.

"Brother Hao... the younger ones will call you master later... By the way, the head of the Li family used to be a big family, and the theater troupe was originally raised by the family. Who knows that the family's fortunes are in decline, so the theater troupe is sent outside to make money. You can play left and right. I can't make any money from acting, so I want to make it out..."

Yu San added a little more information, and soon the two met with Team Leader Li.

Leader Li didn't expect the other party to find a child to talk to him, and he was very surprised when he saw Zhu Hao.

"This……"

Leader Li's expression was not good, and he almost walked away.

Yu Sandao: "This is our boss. Don't look at his young age, his official background, and his wealth."

Leader Li showed a disdainful smile on his face.

Are you trying to make fun of me?

A brat with a lot of money?
Is that his own money?

Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the third brother, it's just a small business... Li is in charge, right? Let's talk about the details of the transaction... Although I don't have much money, I opened the bookstore when I have time. Shopkeeper Yu watched it for me, and now I want to buy a troupe that is entirely my own, and sing plays written by myself."

Leader Li looked arrogant: "Singing your own play? Ignorance, or arrogance?"

Zhu Hao was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "People in small places should be arrogant and ignorant at the same time. The price is the most important thing, isn't it? Shopkeeper Yu, show him the deposit first."

Following Zhu Hao's words, Yu San immediately opened the wooden box he had brought.

Inside is part of Zhu Hao's family property earned in the past few months, and there are fifty taels in it.

Leader Li stared straight at the eyes.

He's young, but he can't afford to spend a lot of money... This is much more realistic than other people who talk to him about business.

"What's so funny..."

Leader Li said that he was going to reach for the wooden box.

Yu San shouted: "Master Li, what do you mean?"

Leader Li was puzzled: "Didn't you say it was a deposit?"

Yu Sandao: "That's just a polite way of saying... Even if it's a deposit, don't you have to take out the contract first? There should be a contract of prostitution, right? Is there any problem with the actor's music? When we don't have contact with the troupe Pass or what?"

Only then did Team Leader Li put away his arrogance, and picked up a bag from the side. After opening it, there was an oiled paper bag inside, and inside was a thick stack of contracts.

"They're all musicians. A few people in our troupe have signed contracts of selling their lives, while the rest are not. They are equivalent to long-term labor contracts. Most of the female family members in the troupe are married, so don't worry about their health... But if you just let them drink and sing a Qingqu, It's not impossible, "Men remember the Forty Great Songs, and women remember the Three Thousand Little Orders", each has its own strengths.

"Including the musicians, there are sixteen people in total. The longest contract is sixteen years, and the shortest is one year. At that time, they can freely leave the troupe without restraint...but if they have no way out, they can also renew the contract..."

When Team Leader Li said these words, it was as if he wanted to give up his long-cherished treasure to others, with a lot of reluctance on his face.

To sum it up.

There are sixteen members of the opera troupe, all of whom are from music, male and female, handsome and ugly.

In Daming, Le Ji was a special group, a kind of lowly one, hereditary, good and bad were not allowed to intermarry, which meant that men from Le Ji could only marry women from Le Ji, had no right to take the imperial examination, and could only entertain people with their sensuality from generation to generation.

The contract of a handsome female actress is the most valuable. This kind of contract stipulates that she will only work for the theater troupe in the next few years. It is equivalent to a long-term contract.

It's like selling your art but not your body!

But there are those powerful people who listen to playing and singing and insist on seizing the beauty outside the singing arts. Most of them dare not go to the government to sue, and they can only suffer from being dumb.

 This is the second update with a subscription of more than 5000, thank you for your support!Subscriptions don't seem to be increasing much, the emperor begs for another wave of subscriptions!Thanks!
