Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 403
Liu Ya said: "It was built at the current address of my house, but I planned to build a bigger one, so I moved it outside the village. My house is now at the head of the village and outside. There are no neighbors on the left or right, and I don't live close to anyone. The nearest house is dozens of steps away. The neighbors naturally have nothing to say about how to build my house."

Speaking of this, Liu Ya took out another piece of silver, this time the amount of silver she took out was much larger than before, it was worth a penny.It was still placed on Zhang Lizheng's table.Then he said: "My family's life is not good now, and it is still the poorest family in the village. But the house is too dilapidated, and it will leak in the rainy season. It will cost a lot of money to repair it, so I will sell it I bought the jewelry left by my mother and borrowed a lot from the villagers, so I was able to barely build a new house."

While listening to Liu Ya's words, Zhang Lizheng squinted his eyes and moved the piece of silver with the brush holder, it was still in his drawer, and then asked: "Then how many rooms will your house build?"

Liu Ya has never said that she will build a few new houses, and she is also thinking about paying less for the benefits.After all, it was the money she earned, and she didn't feel bad about buying things for her family, but if it was cheaper, Zhang Lizheng, a country gentleman who only knew how to get rich, of course she would not be willing.But now that Zhang Lizheng kept asking, he knew that this money could not be saved.So he said: "Build five rooms."

"Build five new houses at once?" Zhang Lizheng raised his voice, opened his squinted eyes, looked at Liu Ya and said, "Your family is poor, so you can just renovate the house. Build it all at once. Five rooms, but made a fortune?"

Liu Ya resisted the urge to slap Zhang Lizheng to death, and said with a smile: "I didn't get rich, didn't I just say that I was in debt. I was guessing at the time, anyway, I have to pay debts, so why not borrow more. Besides, we brothers and sisters The three are getting bigger and bigger, and they can help the family work more. The big deal is to pay off the debt for a few more years, and save a few houses. In the future, when my younger brother gets a wife, he won’t have to build a new house.”

The fat on Zhang Lizheng's face was still twitching when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth twitched and he said, "That's really a lot of money. Why don't I advise you to build two less rooms in your house. Building three rooms is better than five." The house saved a lot of money. It saved the dowry for your two sisters and the bride price for your younger brother's wife."

Liu Ya really wanted to shout, you don't need to worry about our sister's dowry and my brother's dowry, I have something urgent to stamp quickly.But after all, the county magistrate is not as good as the one in charge now, Lord Yan is so troublesome to see the little devil, if Zhang Lizheng didn't stamp it, their new house would be illegal, and sooner or later there would still be problems.If Zhang Lizheng went to find fault after the house was built, the cost would definitely be more than this time.

Liu Ya simply took out another larger piece of silver, which weighed three coins, put it on Zhang Lizheng's desk, and said directly: "Master Lizheng, our family is indeed still in debt. But thinking about having a new house to live in, My elder sister and younger brother are all single-mindedly happy. When I came out to do this this time, I also rushed to show my face. If I originally planned to build five rooms, but got the deed and returned with three rooms, my father will blame me , my sister and brother will also blame me for being incompetent, and I will not be able to hold my head up at home in the future."

In order to get the house deed, Liu Ya gave one denarius before, and now she gives three denarii, which adds up to four denarii.Silver is more expensive than copper plates. One penny of silver can be exchanged for at least 120 copper plates, which adds up to almost [-] copper plates, which is actually a lot.The reason why Liu Ya gave him a big one in the end was also to be able to get this matter done in one go and not want to procrastinate.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lizheng's eyes lit up when he looked at the silver, and after receiving the silver, he said: "But the higher-ups also have regulations. It is already the limit for a private household to build five rooms. After all, it still occupies a large piece of land. The land is owned by the state, and private households have to pay land tax if they build a house and occupy the land. I can't just stamp your house deed here. Besides, if you build more houses, you have to go to the town for instructions. If you come to the town, your expenses will be even greater. I see that the benefits of your dealings are all in silver, so it can be seen that your family still has some wealth. Or you can build a bigger one and go directly to the town to find What did the old man say?"

After Zhang Lizheng finished speaking, Liu Ya suddenly understood that it wasn't that the money she gave was not enough, but that she had neglected such details.If it is to benefit him with copper plates, the handfuls of copper plates may seem like a lot, the key is that money from poor people is not common.And every time I give him benefits, I use silver, and Zhang Lizheng realizes that she must use more silver to go in and out now.

It seems that Zhang Li is just an old fox, such details can figure out people's hearts.

It's not that Liu Ya has become stupid, it's just that the ancient banknotes, silver coins, copper plates and copper plates are too awkward, far less convenient than modern banknotes and swiping cards.That's why she got used to using silver directly.As a result, Zhang Lizheng found the way instead.

However, when things got to this point, she couldn't turn her back on her and take back the money she gave away.Besides, if it is done in the town again, the money must be spent more.

Thinking of this, Liu Ya directly took out the money bag on her body, untied the top of the bag and dumped it on Zhang Lizheng's table with a "crash", and the remaining broken silver and copper coins were scattered all over the table.

When Zhang Lizheng saw Liu Ya like this, he was stunned for a moment, looked at the copper coins rolling on the table, and asked, "Liu's second girl, you, what do you mean?"

"Zhang Lizheng, to tell you the truth, my mother's money for selling jewelry is all here. Originally, my father asked me to drop by Zhou's Kiln and pay the deposit for building a house and buying adobe bricks. But now I have all the money. It’s left here with you, and I’m sure I can’t go to Zhou’s Kiln, so you just give me the deed.” After speaking, Liu Ya said again: “If you’re not satisfied with Zhang Lizheng, why don’t you go to our Pingshan Village Let's find out. See if our Liu family is still the poorest family, and then ask me if this silly girl is still acting stupid from time to time? A while ago, she was stupid and beat three children of the Wu family, and even my third aunt And her family Dongmei. Liu Dongmei was beaten to the point of bleeding, and everyone in the village saw it."

When Liu Ya said this, she was showing weakness at first, letting Zhang Lizheng know that she had given away all the money she had in order to obtain the house deed.And not all of that money was used for benefits, there was also money for buying adobe bricks.

Secondly, there is also an obvious threat.After all, the rich are afraid of the poor, the poor are afraid of the tyrannical, and the tyrannical are afraid of dying.
