Chapter 75 Moving into the Mansion
Seeing that many of the flowers, plants, porcelain vases and even furniture in the yard had been stolen, the rich man really didn't want to argue with the villagers anymore.
He simply moved all his things away, leaving an empty yard.
In Dayu, empty houses that have been unoccupied for five years will be taken over by the village.
It has been five years now.
The Bai and Yun clans were arguing over the ownership of this courtyard.
During this period, some people even lost their lives, which attracted condemnation from the government.
Bai Jianian then issued a notice that the yard belonged to the village.
If it is sold, the villagers can participate in the distribution of the proceeds.
But as the courtyard became increasingly dilapidated, it still hadn't been sold.
He knows the people in the village very well.
He wanted to decide to let the refugees stay there, but he was afraid that the villagers would not agree.
"Village Chief Bai, is there something wrong with this house, or are there any difficulties?"
Han Qingyun saw Bai Jianian's dilemma.
"To be honest, this house belongs to the villagers. If I let you live in it like this, I'm afraid the villagers will have objections."
"What does Village Chief Bai think?"
"You need to stay for at least two months. How about ten taels of silver?"
"Three months, five taels of silver. Give it to Village Chief Bai now, and we'll all move out within three months."
Han Qingyun's expression was slightly cold. He actually dared to ask for ten taels of silver.
If he agrees this time, Bai Jianian will definitely ask for a huge amount of money for similar things next time.
We can't indulge him in this bad habit!
Bai Jianian also knew that ten taels of silver was too much.
But the villagers were greedy, and he would have a hard time explaining to them the five taels of silver, not to mention that the yard was really nice.
"Eight taels, about that. There are over sixty households in the village, and with five taels of silver, each family wouldn't get even a penny."
Han Qingyun's smile seemed very gentle.
"We've been fleeing here for a long time, so we have to be frugal. Why don't we go to the town and have a look? This place is quite close to the town.
The officer who brought us here, named Wu Liujin, told us that there were many empty houses in the town.
I think I can rent a nice house with five taels of silver. It’s just a little smaller, but it’s much better than sleeping in the open air before.
Officer Wu was extremely helpful and told us to go to the town inspection office to find him if we had any questions. Uncle Hongzhi, let's go there quickly while it's still early."
Bai Jianian's face trembled slightly when he heard this. Isn't it just three taels of silver?
Why is this young man so stingy? It’s such a waste of his handsome face.
But this young man not only knew that Officer Wu was in the town's inspection office, he also knew the officer's name, so it seemed that they had some kind of acquaintance.
Before leaving, the officer specifically warned him to take good care of these people.
Forget it, just five taels of silver. The house is empty anyway, and five taels of silver is better than leaving it empty.
"Since you've come so far, five taels of silver is fine. There's no need to bother the officials with such a trivial matter."
"Thank you, Village Chief Bai."
Since the deal was settled, Han Qingyun immediately took out five taels of silver and handed it to Bai Jianian.
"Please ask the village chief to sign a lease agreement with me."
Lease agreement?
Bai Jianian was a little embarrassed. He had only studied for a few years and his handwriting was not very beautiful. How could he write an agreement?
"Or maybe I can write it and Village Chief Bai can give you his corrections."
Seeing the expression on Bai Jianian's face, Han Qingyun guessed that he probably had never written it.
"No problem." Bai Jianian found a pen and paper and handed them to Han Qingyun.
Han Qingyun dipped the ink, moved his wrist slightly, and quickly wrote two identical lease agreements.
Bai Jianian was stunned. What does this young man do?
The dean of Yangliu Academy where his grandson studied had handwriting far worse than that of this young man.
Even though he had not read much, he thought the wording of the agreement was very good.
Inexplicably, Bai Jianian suddenly remembered the poem his grandson had recited.
"The mind is filled with brocade and the pen writes with dragons and snakes", this is probably what it means for this kind of person.
"Village Chief Bai, please take a look and see if there is any problem."
Bai Jianian looked at the young man named Han Qingyun.
Good-looking, good manners, and good writing.
He suddenly wanted to make friends.
"No problem, it's well written. Where should I sign?"
After Han Qingyun and Bai Jianian signed, they each kept a copy.
Bai Jianian continued to speak vaguely to the two of them, "That courtyard is very large, but you must be careful to keep your things safe and have someone watch over them."
Bai Jianian had never felt particularly ashamed of the fact that the villagers were dishonest. But now, he couldn't help but blush.
"Thank you for the reminder, Village Chief. We'll take note of it."
On the way back, Han Hongzhi kept telling Han Qingyun that the villagers must return the seven taels of silver to Han Qingyun today.
"Uncle Hongzhi, we just arrived here and don't have much money. We still need to build houses and buy food.
Just think of this money as something the village owes me, and when everyone has more money, you can pay me back.”
Han Qingyun doesn't have to be the scapegoat.
However, the villagers will have a lot of money to spend in the future. For people like Wang Daxin and Han Sanqian, they may not even have enough money to build a house.
He can at least handle it, but it's hard to say for others.
However, during this trip today, he also discovered a way to make money.
The original person not only had a good foundation in knowledge, but also had excellent calligraphy skills.
Yan's writing is as smooth as flowing water. He not only writes well, but also writes quickly.
He currently has no other way to make money, but with his good handwriting, he can support his family by copying books.
When the villagers heard Han Hongzhi say that they could live in the largest courtyard in the village for the next three months, they were surprised and delighted.
Yan Hui and his son said goodbye to everyone and sent a letter to Yan Yu when they entered the city.
Now that everyone has settled down, they can go find their families with peace of mind.
Before leaving, Yan Hui told everyone not to rush to find craftsmen to build the house, as he would ask his brother to help them find them.
He has always been grateful to this group of people for rescuing him and his son from Liyuan County.
And if it weren't for these people, they wouldn't know how many times they would have died along the way.
These people are different from Han Qingyun.
Han Qingyun is someone Yan Hui regards as his nephew, so there is no need for too many formalities between them.
But he will always do his best to repay the kindness of these people.
"No, no, Mr. Yan, you can just stay at your brother's place and we will build the house ourselves. But your house will probably be beautiful, and we probably can't build it."
The people in Fengye Village are indeed planning to build their own houses. Their houses don’t need to be very good, as long as they can live in them. Why bother wasting money to hire someone else?
Yan Hui smiled and said nothing, but he had already made up his mind.
Yan Xuewen said goodbye to Han Huaijin, feeling very reluctant.
Yan Shi'an said something to Han Qingyun and drove away in Han Qingyun's mule cart.
After the Yan family left, everyone rushed to the big house.
Han Qingyun used the key he got from Bai Jianian to open the gate.
The yard was bigger than they had imagined, and there were many rooms.
It was obvious that no one had lived there for many years, with weeds and spider webs everywhere.
After the cleaning, the people of Fengye Village were very excited.
This house is so nice, they have never lived in such a nice house.
In fact, although there are many rooms in this yard, there are too many people and it is not spacious enough to live in.
Basically, seven or eight people squeeze into one room.
But they were still very content, as this was much better than where they had lived before.
Besides, the room was empty, with nothing in it, so it was convenient for them to sleep on the floor...
