Chapter 17 Finding the Back Account
"Master, Liu Erlangzi is back." In the Liu family hall, when the guy Zhang saw him jogging in, he came to Zhang's butcher guard and hurriedly reported.
"I'll come back when I'm back, I'm afraid what he will do." When Zhang Butcher heard the word "Liu Erlangzi", he first subconsciously became famous in his heart, and then he realized why he was afraid of Liu Erlangzi. This guy who dared to cheat on him was still trying to find him.
Liu Jun stepped into the house and found that there were a lot of people crowded in the house, including those who knew each other, neighbors, chief A and security guards on the street, and some unrecognizable faces. Zhang butcher Zhang, with a fat face, sat in the hall with a distant look, with his legs spreading open and a big belly.
When he saw Liu Jun coming in, he stretched out his fat hand and patted him hard on the table, "Okay, Liu Erlangzi, you dare to come back."
Liu Jun glanced at everyone and said, "I heard you bought my land."
"Yes, the contract has been signed." Butcher Zhang slapped the table and said proudly.
"I want to see." Liu Jun said calmly.
"Boy, why? Do you want to tear the contract? This is something you have witnessed. If you dare to break the contract, the consequences will be very serious. If you sue the yamen, you will have to hand over the remaining forty acres of land in your family." Zhang Butcher Zhang said with a fake good intention, but his tone was full of arrogance after being proud.
"Brother Liu, what's going on?" Li Chunjiang has been ignored by many people since he came in. I think of his nephew of the four ministers, Jie Yuan, who was the provincial examination in Huguang last year, was also a juren, but he was ignored. Especially when he saw the rude appearance of the big fat man, he felt displeased.
"Brother Li, this is the thing..."
"A little butcher dares to be so arrogant?"
"His daughter married the county magistrate to serve as a re-invigorating house, her eldest son was appointed as a supervisor, and her second son passed the provincial examination and passed the provincial examination. She was in the same subject as you." Liu Jun introduced with a smile.
"There are more and more people who have passed the exam with me in the same subject, and there are hundreds of them." Li Chunjiang said indifferently. "I'll help you settle him, it's annoying."
"You don't have to work hard for you. There are ways to deal with such a country bully. You can help me to take advantage of the formation." Liu Jun said with a smile. He was unwilling to show his incompetence in front of his new friends. If he couldn't even deal with a small butcher, then there was nothing else.
Liu Jun took two steps forward and said to Butcher Zhang with a smile.
"How could I break the contract? But I want to see that the contract is always fine. I am also a member of the Liu family."
The contract is in duplicate. After signing the contract, it must be submitted to the county government for approval and filing, and then a tax must be paid. This is a land transaction tax. The seller has to pay the tax on the land, while the buyer has to pay the tax on the tax.
When Zhang Butcher Zhang saw Liu Jun's calm look, he felt a little surprised. Liu Erlangzi couldn't go out to get married. When he came back, he found that the matter of cheating on him was exposed. The Liu family had paid a heavy price of 90 acres of land for this. Shouldn't he rush up to fight him? Why did he look so timid?
But no matter what, he didn't have to worry about Liu Jun at all. So he took out the contract and handed it to Liu Jun. Anyway, this contract was signed by everyone. If Liu Jun dared to tear it apart, he would have the chance to swallow up the dozens of acres of land left by the Liu family. He might have the chance to make it a one-time sale this time, saving a lot of trouble.
Liu Jun took the contract and read it carefully several times, almost knowing it. Based on his original memory, he knew that even if such a contract was not approved and filed by the yamen, he would have been recognized by the yamen.
"Sell live?"
"That's right."
Liu Jun smiled, "Since there are so many Chinese witnesses coming today, I will ask, selling land is a big deal. For example, you have to ask the seller's relatives first. If no one wants to buy it, it will be the turn of outsiders to buy it, right?"
Land is the foundation of the people, so land transactions are also quite troublesome and cumbersome.
At this time, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, a conventional rule was basically formed in various places in the Ming Dynasty. When selling land, you must first ask your brothers, nephews, uncles and other relatives. If you want to buy the relatives, you should sell them. If you don’t want the relatives, you should ask your family members. Then you don’t want them. Only then can you find another person to buy them. Otherwise, it will cause disputes, cause trouble, and even cause murder.
There are countless disputes over land sales every year in various places. Macheng has had such examples before. Not long ago, after the death of Zhang Wang's husband in the county, the family had no money, so he had to sell the land to make a living.
I asked the Zhang family first, but they said they didn't want it. The nephew Zhang Ren had no money to buy it, so he asked him to just go to the owner to sell it. As a result, he finally found the Wang family for sale and negotiated the price. When he wrote a contract to pay the amount of land, Zhang Ren came to stop him and said that the Wang family bought his Zhang family's land without any chance. In the end, Zhang Ren was seriously injured and died. In the end, the yamen sentenced him to death and Wang Ya was sentenced to death according to the law of killing people to pay for his life. The Wang family had no right to buy that land.
Now that Liu Jun stood up and used this to make the butcher Zhang immediately angry.
Damn, he is not a normal land purchase and sale, so what do he want to ask about his relatives? And does the Liu family have any relatives?
Butcher Zhang smiled coldly and said, "Ask relatives, oh, I forgot, but do you have relatives in the Liu family? I heard that the Liu family in Suokouhe has relatives with your family. Yesterday, the old master of Liu's family in Suokouhe had a birthday, was it that Mr. Liu went there to celebrate his birthday?"
"Liu Jinwu's family cannot get ahead." Liu Jun replied.
"Oh, it turns out that the Liu family is not your relative. I thought you were Liu Jinwu's relatives. It is said that the emperor has three poor relatives. I thought you were Liu Jinwu's poor relatives, but it turned out that they were not. Hahaha. Then do you have other relatives in your family?"
"Yes!" At this time, Li Chunjiang was a little unwilling to be lonely. Xie Yuan had been standing in this hall for a long time, but no one paid attention to him. He had seen the pig-killer for a long time before he was unhappy. "I am a relative of the Liu family."
"Which onion is you? Where did you come out? Stay wherever you cool down." Zhang Butcher Zhang saw that Li Chunjiang was coming back with Liu Jun, and was just wearing a moon-white Confucian robe and had no gold or jade on his body, so he didn't take it seriously. He thought it was just Liu Jun's friend, and said bluntly.
"I'm not sure which green onion I think you can't control, but I'm a relative of the Liu family, and now I'm willing to pay for the Liu family's land. According to the rules, this land must be sold to me first. I haven't asked me, but you can't buy this land, and I'm not afraid of even if I sue it to the yamen."
"You have to go to the yamen to sue, okay, I'm just about to sue, I'm telling you, my son-in-law..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Chunjiang interrupted him with contempt, "Isn't your son-in-law just a county magistrate? Well, he is about the same age as you, and died his wife, and then married your daughter to fill the house."
Butcher Zhang's face turned dark. His county magistrate's son-in-law was indeed older than him, but he was an official, the second master of the county. "Since you know, how dare you be arrogant with me? Boy, which family is from yours?"
"I'm in the next chapter of Li."
"Submit Li?" Butcher Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Boy, you are here to make trouble, right? You first ask about your relatives when buying land. It refers to the family of the same clan, not including people from other surnames. If you are the one with the surname Li, where is the qualification to interfere in the sale of land at the home of Liu? Where can you stay where you are cool?"
Li Chunjiang took a suffocation and wanted to reveal his identity. Liu Jun reached out to stop him and was not in a hurry to show off.
"Master Zhang, okay, even the relatives of the Liu family will sell it to you now."
"Isn't this a matter of a deal? Why do you do so much nonsense? Go back to the house." Zhang Butcher stood up and wanted to leave, stayed at the Liu family, and was with Liu Erlangzi. He always felt uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, the matter is not over yet." Liu Jun stopped him with a smile.
"According to the old rules, if you pay for the money to buy the land, you have to give the silver to paint the word ", right?" Liu Jun smiled brightly, "According to the rules, this silver to paint the word " is 150% to 35% to buy the land. My land is sold to you, and the money for buying the land is 360 taels. Well, just calculate it based on 35% to paint the word ", you have to paint the word "126 taels". I'm not wrong, Mr. Zhang, calculate it, see if it's the number."
The silver in the painting is also called hanging red money, which is equivalent to the signature fee. Since the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the money for selling land, there is also a silver in the painting, which is also a considerable amount of money.
"You still want to write silver with me?" Butcher Zhang was really shocked. Did this Liu Erlangzi figure out the situation?
"Not only do you have to paint silver for my family, according to the old customs and customs, when selling property, your relatives and nephews have money to write, and the owners and their families give them silver for their calligraphy. I'm not wrong."
Butcher Zhang had a sinister face, "But do you have a relative clan in your family? Humph!"
"This place belongs to my father. Well, the three of us brothers can calculate it separately, only one hundred and twenty-six taels per person can draw silver. I'll calculate it. Four one hundred and twenty-six taels, that's five hundred and four taels. Mr. Zhang, you often kill pigs and sell meat, and the calculation is definitely better than me. You can calculate it, and see if I'm right."
"I'm delusional, you're dreaming in the daytime!" Zhang Butcher Zhang spitted phlegm on the ground and said disdainfully.
"Don't worry, I haven't finished it yet." Liu Jun smiled calmly.
"After talking about this, the silver-painted characters, according to the old rules, you have to pay for land sales, right?"
The so-called money for evading the karma means that whenever you sell land, you mainly get a money for evading the karma. This is not Liu Jun’s nonsense, but a fact. In most places, the buyer pays the real estate price for the land, goes to the yamen to pay taxes, pays the silver for utterances, and gives a large sum of money, and the matter is not over yet, and he has to give the owner of the first property according to the old rules. The so-called owner of the first property is the former owner of the Liu family’s land.
This money is not much. Whenever you resell the property, the original owner would ask for a few taels of silver from the buyer. This is called heyin, also called quitting the karma money. In short, it is a very deceptive custom.
Li Chun jumped out again at this time, "I am the original owner, and I don't want much. Give me five taels of silver per mu of land, a total of ninety acres, right? Just give me four hundred and fifty taels of silver."
Although this silver painting is very bad for the money of the yamen, the yamen admitted that they will never be able to lose their lawsuits. This is an additional cost that must be paid to buy land. Of course, generally speaking, the money of the yamen will not be as much as Liu Jun and Li Chunjiang ask for.
Butcher Zhang was extremely angry at this time.
"I thought it well, and there is nothing else I can't count, add it together."
"You can't tell me, there's really, don't worry, come all the same."
Liu Jun's smile had become a little cold and fierce. Butcher Zhang really thought the Liu family was easy to control. This time he wanted to let Butcher Zhang know what it means to steal chickens and lose rice.
