Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 111: Dividing the House and the Land

In fact, it wasn't that Yun Xi didn't understand, but she felt that she had misunderstood. At that time, she hadn't seen the manor, and couldn't imagine what a manor worth 6000 taels would look like.

Now that she had seen it with her own eyes, she felt that she must have misunderstood at the time, and 6000 taels should have been just the price of the house.

But Yun Xi didn't want to just buy a house, she wanted to buy the entire farm, including the fields and forests.

She asked, "Chen Tian, ​​if we buy the entire manor, including the fields and the mountains behind it, what would the price be?"

Although Ying Tianchen also wanted to make the price as cheap as possible, but thinking of what Miss Yun had said just now, he realized that the 6000 taels he had quoted was indeed a little low.

He was worried that the price was too low and would arouse her suspicion, and she would be unwilling to buy it once she knew it was his farm.

After thinking about it, he agreed with her and said, "I am familiar with this owner. For my sake, twenty thousand taels should be no problem."

Twenty thousand taels was very cheap, so Yun Xi decided to buy it immediately. "Okay, then we'll take this manor."

"Little sister, does our family have so much money?"

Yunqi and Yunyan didn't keep accounts, and they felt that there seemed to be so much money at home, but also seemed not to be much.

Yun Xi listened to Yun Yan's question and shook her head, "No, not even close."

"Ah? How much is left?" Yun Yan asked anxiously.

Yun Xi suppressed her laughter and said, "I still need 200 taels. Second brother, you have to use your private money."

Yun Yan nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, use it, use it. I must use it."

"Pfft-"

Seeing that he believed it, Yun Xi burst out laughing.

"I'm kidding. We don't lack money. We can still afford 20,000 taels. Not only that, it's enough for you to marry a wife."

Yun Qi flicked her forehead lightly and scolded her with a smile, "You're making fun of us again, you're asking for a fight."

Yun Xi covered her forehead which didn't hurt at all and bared her teeth at Yun Qi. Her fierce look made several people laugh.

Ying Tianchen looked at the three brothers and sisters playing and felt very envious.

From their conversation, we learned that the housekeeper of the Yun family was not Xi, but Miss Yun.

He also wanted to hand over the house to her, he felt...

Ahem, let’s talk about the present matter first.

"Miss Yun, do you want to let your clansmen and fellow villagers know about the purchase of the entire manor?"

Yun Xi had thought about this problem a long time ago. She didn't plan to let everyone know that this farm was bought by their family. The gap was too big, and everyone would feel distant when getting along with each other in the future.

But if they say that the land was not bought by their family, and they will be the ones to take care of the land in the future, it would be hard to say.

So, she planned to move out the master of her brothers and sisters.

"Except for the house, just say that our master bought it with his own money and our family takes care of it for him. If anyone wants a house or land, they need to spend money to buy it."

As he spoke, Yun Xi seemed to have thought of something and asked, "By the way, does the government want to compensate everyone for the land and houses in Gan Tang Village?"

"Yes, Miss Yun, what do you think?"

Yun Xi did have a lot of ideas. After going around just now, she had a preliminary plan.

"Here's what I think. Land is easy to deal with. It depends on each household's own ideas. They can buy as many acres as they want. As for houses, the large mansions next to the main courtyard will be allocated to our Yun clan members to live in. However, strictly speaking, there are only four branches of our clan, that is, the four major families. Eight mansions are not enough to live in. For the remaining courtyards, we will choose one to be the clan ancestral hall, and another to be the school. In the future, adults and children will have to learn to read and study. Another one will be used as a martial arts training ground..."

"As for the other families with surnames, we can let them choose from those with one or two courtyards. The houses are big enough for them and they can afford them."

These outsiders are different from the clan members. If the clan members don’t have enough money to buy a house, she can pay for it. After all, in this dynasty, the interests of the family and the clan members are closely tied together. Only when the whole family is good can it be truly good.

Then, they discussed for a while before returning to the house where they were resting temporarily.

At this time, the women had already prepared the food.

The meal was quite good. It consisted of leftover prey from their previous hunting trip, as well as vegetables picked from the farmyard. The rice was also dry, and everyone was very satisfied.

After everyone finished eating and cleaned up, they gathered in the yard to hold a meeting and began to discuss matters concerning the house and the fields.

Everyone was very excited, sweeping away the fatigue of several days of traveling, and at the moment they looked very excited.

I can't wait to divide the house in one afternoon, and then move all my belongings to the new house so I can have a good sleep at night.

Patriarch Yun asked Yunqi what the rules were, and Yunqi told him the plan they had discussed before.

He also said, "Master Chen also said that the houses we had in Gantang Village will be compensated at a discount, and the land will also be compensated in full. You can come to my place tomorrow to register, and then we will divide the land. If you want to buy more, you can."

After the words fell, everyone cheered and was very happy.

Especially the Yun clan, they didn't expect to live in a large courtyard in the future, and thought they could only live in single rooms, or at best a courtyard with one or two entrances. They didn't expect that there was such a big surprise waiting for them.

Not only is there a large courtyard to live in, but there is also a clan temple, a school, and a martial arts training ground...

It sounds like the Yun family is a wealthy family and is about to change their affiliation.

Although the villagers from other families envied the treatment of the Yun clan members, they were just envious. It was already very good to be able to choose a house from the first and second courtyards.

They had all seen that the courtyards were all made of brick and wood. No, it should be said that all the houses were made of blue bricks and tiles, solid and bright, much better than their previous houses.

They were all very content and clear-minded. Although they had left their hometown, the conditions here were no worse than those in Gantang Village. Following the Yun family, good days were still to come.

Aunt Bao had the loudest voice and happily said she would obey the instructions.

But she also asked, "Chief Yun, can our children go to your school and martial arts training ground?"

Patriarch Yun was still dizzy at the moment. He had not discussed this matter with Yun Xi and the others beforehand, and he didn't know whether they were allowed to go or not, so he subconsciously looked for his only brother.

He nudged Yun Songlin with his arm and asked, "Can we go?"

Yun Songlin was squinting his eyes and stroking his small beard. His arm was bumped by him, and his hands unconsciously exerted force and pulled his beard, causing him to gasp in pain.

His expression changed instantly, and he asked without any curiosity, "How should I know?"

Patriarch Yun thought about it and realized that, indeed, he didn't know, so this guy certainly didn't know either.

He could only look at Yunqi again, "Brother Qi, you tell me."

Yunqi nodded and looked in the direction of Aunt Bao and the others, "Of course you can come. Not only children can come, but even adults who want to learn can come. Moreover, people from our village don't have to pay tuition."

"Oh, that's great. Thank you so much." Aunt Bao slapped her thigh happily.

Others were equally excited. Some were laughing and crying with joy, while others were jumping and dancing with joy.

Soon the house was divided up.

Aunt Bao and her family all chose a house with two courtyards, which cost 40 taels. Even if the government compensated them with 10 taels for their previous houses, they could not afford 30 taels.

Yun Xi didn't make it difficult for them. She asked them to pay a part first and write an IOU for the rest.

Thinking that the people in these families were honest and had always gotten along well, he comforted them, "Don't worry about not being able to pay back the money in the future. Once we settle down, my eldest brother and second brother will lead us to do some business, and our lives will only get better and better in the future."

Now, Aunt Bao and her family felt relieved. They expressed their gratitude to Yun Xi, Yun Qi, Yun Yan and the rest of the Yun family.

It was decided to give 10 taels first, plus 10 taels of subsidy from the government, and prepare an IOU for the remaining 20 taels.

Aunt Bao and her family were all illiterate, so Yunqi wrote the IOU and read it to them first. Only after they confirmed that it was correct did he ask them to put their fingerprints on it.

Yun Xi collected the IOU, and Aunt Bao and her friends happily moved into their new home. As for the house deed, Ying Tianchen promised to get it done and send it to them later.

As for the Yun clan members, except for Yun Xi's family which was allocated a large house with four courtyards, the other families all had three courtyards.

The sizes of the several three-courtyard structures were similar. After consulting Ying Tianchen, Yun Xi set a price of 100 taels for each courtyard.

Don’t think that this three-courtyard house has only one more courtyard than the two-courtyard house, but this three-courtyard house is a large courtyard where the head of the family lived before. It is much larger and more luxurious, much better than the small two-courtyard house where the steward lives.

The area it occupies is more than twice as large.

If we really talk about the price, 200 taels would be fine.

However, Yun Xi did not ask for so much because they were all from the same clan, and only asked for 100 taels.

Several families can afford this 100 taels of silver.

When the fake bandit silver was divided up before, it was divided by household. The household here was not really divided by household registration, but by the males of Yun Huaiyuan's generation.

For example, the three brothers of Yun Huaiyuan were divided into three households whether they were divided or not. The two sons of the Yun family did not divide their family, so they were also divided into two households.

The other two families have split up, with 4 households each.

However, now that each courtyard is relatively large, those who have separated have to live in a new courtyard. Whether to merge the families together again depends on them.

At the beginning, each family was allocated 30 taels of silver, which was not a small amount for a large family. Therefore, everyone could afford the house payment.

In the end, except for the clan leader's family, the other two families did not write an IOU. The clan leader's family paid 70 taels, plus the government subsidy of 10 taels, and finally wrote an IOU for 20 taels.

At this point, the houses have been divided up. As for the land, we will have to wait until tomorrow.

I thought the matter would come to an end here for the time being, but everyone suggested that a village head should be elected.

If there is any problem in the future, the Yun clan members can still go to the clan leader, but what about Aunt Bao and her family? They can’t always go to the Yun clan leader when they have problems.

Besides, the clan leader is old, and even the people in the clan cannot bother him with everything.

Yun Xi thought about it and felt that it seemed necessary to choose one.

In the end, there was no dispute that the position of village chief fell to Yun Huaiyuan.

Yun Xi thought that this place already had everything, so she might as well just turn this manor into a village. She asked Ying Tianchen if it was possible, and how could Ying Tianchen object? Not to mention just turning a manor into a village, even if it was turned into a city, he would find a way to satisfy her.

"Of course, you can even give the village a new name."

Yun Xi wanted to just give it a new name and was too lazy to waste her brain on it, but the others seemed excited.

I began to think of the name of the village with great interest.

"This place has beautiful mountains and clear water, why not call it Qingshan Village?" someone suggested.

Yunxi's mouth twitched, and she objected.

"How about we just call our village back to its original name, Gantang Village?" Some people also felt that the name Gantang Village was already easy to pronounce.

Many people shook their heads. The village name made them think of the past, which was not good.

Yun Songlin stroked his beard and spoke slowly, "I heard from Lord Chen that the mountain behind here is called Yunkai Mountain. Our last name is Yun, so why not call it Yunjia Village?"

The Yun clan members naturally had no objection, as the village was named after their surname, which was better than any other nice-sounding village names.

But everyone looked at Aunt Bao and her family. Aunt Bao and her family all shook their heads, indicating that they had no objection.

Originally, this place was the Yun family's territory, so what objections could they have?

Besides, many villages are surname villages, which does not mean that there is only one surname in the village, but that this surname is a common surname in the village.

So now that the village has been renamed Yunjia Village, they really have no objection.

After confirming these two things, everyone started packing up the house and moving.

Ying Tianchen reluctantly said goodbye, saying that he would come back tomorrow to deliver the house and land deeds. Yunxi and his two siblings saw him out and thanked him again and again.

With only his own family members left, Yun Songlin called a meeting of all the family members, mainly to discuss the house.

Their house was very large, a duplex courtyard. In addition to the front and back yards, there were also the east yard, the west yard, the cross yard, the stables, and so on.

"Second brother, how do you think we should divide this yard?"

Yun Songlin went straight to the point and asked, everyone was tired these days, it would be better to divide the yard as soon as possible so that everyone could rest early.

Yun Huaiyuan didn’t know how to divide it. He knew that Yun Xi had to make the decision, so he just let Yun Xi decide.

Yun Xi had actually thought about this problem before. The courtyard was so big that if it was divided into courtyards, everyone would live very scattered. So he thought that everyone should just live in the main courtyard.

But she was also worried that her eldest uncle and fourth uncle would not agree and wanted a separate courtyard.

After thinking for a while, she asked, "Grandpa, uncle, fourth uncle and fourth aunt, do you want to live together or live separately in separate courtyards?"

Yun Huaishan and Yun Huaian Li both looked towards Yun Songlin, obviously letting him make the decision.

If they are all together, they will be united as one family, or they will be separated but not divided into kitchens. If they are divided into courtyards, it will be the same as before, completely separated.

To be honest, they all hope to live together. Now it can be seen that the three children of the second wife are more capable than each other. They can benefit from living together, whether it is a family or separate families. However, this matter is not up to them, it depends on the old man's opinion.

Yun Songlin pinched his beard and did not answer. Instead, he asked Yun Xi, "What do you think, Xi girl?"
