Chapter 60 Everything is for the purpose of buying a house
Lin Wancheng sighed bitterly. He knew that his son was not worthy of the beautiful daughter of Teacher Zhang's family.
Although coach Zhang was also an imperial guard, he was an "old imperial guard". When his ancestors put on the yellow robe, they had to eat in Kaifeng. At that time, the houses in Kaifeng Mansion were cheap, and the opportunities for meritorious service were far more than in this peaceful and prosperous era.
Therefore, the Zhang family has a reliable ancestral property!
Moreover, Teacher Zhang’s coach is a nominee, and he doesn’t know martial arts at all. What a nonsense!
The real ability of this coach Zhang is in his work in wooden tools. He is one of the best carpenters in the north wing of the city, and is known as Carpenter Zhang. Therefore, he usually doesn't go to the military camp, so he just takes his two sons at home (the imperial guards who defend the capital of Kaifeng Prefecture, the Song Dynasty) to build wooden tools. He can always get thousands of investments a year.
If his daughter wants to get married, she has to accompany her for thousands of dowry. How can Lin Chong, who has no house, get along?
"Then I don't want Madam Zhang..."
"Dad..." Lin Chong couldn't help but speak when he heard his father's words, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Although he liked Miss Zhang, Miss Zhang was not very affectionate with him. They were a teenager apart and were not childhood sweethearts. The little girl's family just liked him a little because of his good martial arts skills and handsome appearance.
But if you like this, how can you defeat a house that is bigger than the sky in Kaifeng Prefecture?
"No, no, no," Lin Wancheng shook his head and said, "and then marry someone who has no money. I think the Guo family's girl is good. She looks no worse than Miss Zhang. She is also a family friend, and she knows the truth."
The girl he mentioned in the Guo family is Guo Xiaoxiao and Guo Jing's girl.
"No, no." Lady Gao shook her head, "It might have been two months earlier, but now there is no hope."
"What? I've promised someone?"
"I haven't promised it yet," said Gao Madam, "but Guo Sanlang has become rich and has been looking for a house these days. I heard that he has a fancy to a house with a shop next to the wazi in the north of Zhou. He has already booked it."
"A house with a shop?" Lin Wancheng said in surprise, "That's not more than 10,000?"
"It's more than 10,000," said Gao's wife enviously, "Guo Sanlang is capable. He bought a house at a young age. It's really a blessing to have a daughter from which family want to follow him.
By the way, his girl is not married, and she agreed to be a concubine for the rich man on Panlou Street."
The rich man on Panlou Street is Wu Haogu! After receiving thousands of dollars in profits for the second time, Guo Jing and Guo Jing's mother all made up their minds to give Guo Xiaoxiao to Wu Haogu as a concubine!
"Be a concubine?" Lin Wancheng said anxiously, "How can a good daughter be a concubine for someone? This Guo Sanlang is too unreasonable."
"Why is it not so good to be a concubine?" Gao Madam rolled her eyelids, "Are there few daughters of the Imperial Guard who are now?
If you marry a useless red man like a slave, you will endure hardships for your whole life! If you had known this today, you would have been a concubine for a wealthy family when you were young.”
"Why are your officials incompetent?" Lin Wancheng said, "Lu Xiaoyi's hundreds of steps through Yang are in the imperial guards."
Mrs. Gao’s husband’s surname is Lu, with the single name Qian. He has a very good relationship with the father and son of the Lin family. He will definitely not sell Lin Chong’s wife to Gao Yanei, because Lin Chong has no wife at all...
Although Lu Qian is an "old imperial guard", he is one of the rare heroes who can ride horses and shoot archers.
But it is useless and can't afford a house in Kaifeng Mansion. In reality, Lu Qian also has to face a more cruel reality than the novel - Lin Chong, who has no house, doesn't even have a wife, do you ask Lu Qian to please Gao Yanei?
Besides, Gao Qiu’s three sons are all well-behaved scholars, all good babies, how could they go to Mrs. Lin Chong, who is still unknown?
"What's the use?" Gao Madam gritted her teeth, "I don't know if I go to learn craftsmanship. I haven't had a house for so many years? I have caused me to squeeze in the military camp with him for more than ten years!"
"Oh..." Lin Wancheng sighed, "Who said that now is a peaceful and prosperous era!"
If it is a chaotic time, the Lin family father and son, who have all their skills, will either become the leader or die in battle and will be clean.
But in this world, heroes like them can only suffer from the torment of death.
Lady Gao also sighed: "Teacher Lao Lin, let me see, let's forget about the girl in Kaifeng City, why not go outside and find one.
If your family leaves Kaifeng Prefecture, it can be considered a wealthy family. You can buy hundreds of acres of high-quality fertile land. Why worry about not finding a wife?"
Every inch of land in Kaifeng Prefecture is valuable, but it is immediately cheaper when you leave the city. If you stay away from Kaifeng Prefecture, the price of high-quality land is only a few acres.
Lin Chong and his son immediately turned into landlords and wealthy, so their wife could naturally be married.
"How easy is it?" Lin Wancheng sighed, "I am used to living in Kaifeng Prefecture, how can I go outside?
Moreover, it is not easy to buy land and collect rent. My family is poor and there is no official to stay with me. If you buy land near Kaifeng Prefecture, you may not be able to collect rent."
Although there are high housing prices in Kaifeng Prefecture, it is easy to make money. The Lin family father and son are now taking the salary from the official family while taking some work escorted by bodyguards. After eating and using it a year, they can always leave two hundred knots.
If you leave Kaifeng Prefecture, the money will not come easily.
As for the local owner of buying land, there is little benefit to the Lin family, who has no official status and is not a wealthy family.
Not only will local clerks suppress all kinds of harsh and miscellaneous taxes, but even tenants will resist rent and not pay. The Lin family’s father and son can fight, but do they really dare to fight and kill tenants who do not pay rent?
"Then marry a wife and go back to Kaifeng Mansion," said Gao Madam, "Now many military men in the north of the city are like this. If there are dozens or hundreds of betrothal gifts, you can marry one.
But your family still has to rent a decent house, preferably a yard. If you can't afford to rent it in the city, go out of the city to rent it.”
The rent in Kaifeng Prefecture City is not cheap, and there is no way to get a low-rent house for the building shop. If you rent it from the market, it will cost dozens or hundreds of dollars a year to rent a few houses outside the city. If you go to rent a house outside the city, it will be cheaper, but it will take too long to go on the road every day.
Lin Wancheng sighed, "That's all."
Lin Chong was a little anxious when he heard this, "Dad, but the child and that lady Zhang..."
Lin Wancheng waved his hand and was about to call his son to have an unrealistic idea when he heard the voice of his wife Li from outside.
"Officials, Guo Sanlang and Liu Xiaoyi are here, and they also bring a private member (referring to the wealthy man), saying that they have made an appointment with you long ago."
"Oh, I actually forgot it." Lin Wancheng slapped his forehead and hurriedly bowed to Madam Gao, "Madam Gao, look at my memory. Today I asked Guo Sanlang to discuss things."
"What's the matter?" When Madam Gao heard Guo Sanlang's name, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"A bodyguard's activity," Lin Wancheng stood up, "I need three or four good players, and one hundred pieces of money will be sold in a month. Your Lu Xiaoyi can also go there."
"Dad," Lin Chong, who was standing beside him, suddenly said, "There are police officers in the northwest these days, and they often go to the Fourth Army to practice, maybe..."
"It's all your business!" Lin Wancheng turned around and glared at his son, interrupting, "Even if the fight really starts, it should be a headache for the ministers in the court. You and I should take more activities and save enough money to buy a house as soon as possible."
"But how can a child always use his martial arts on bodyguards..." Lin Chong still had the intention of making achievements.
