Chapter 218

Gou'er's father has been paying attention to his son. He was a little moved when he heard the price quoted by the man outside. But seeing his son acting like this, he must be thinking about his wife.

I looked at each other with my clan uncle, and if my family hadn't been poor at that time, I and my dog ​​wouldn't know how to come here to join the army with my clan uncle. After all, the current situation is not good, and there are wars every year. I don't know when.

Where did he die?

Uncle Gou'er also knows that his hometown is poor. Otherwise Gou'er wouldn't be twenty-five or six years old, and he hasn't even settled on a marriage. Taking this money back will not only mean that there is hope for a marriage, but maybe he can also get married.

Pick one. No wonder he was so excited.

But looking at the price offered by this gentleman, it is estimated that it is the price of land around here. In my hometown, there are more than a dozen people in every household, where can there be such cheap land?

But this nephew outside is also our famous smart man. The money can still be raised.

Uncle Gou'er did not live up to his expectations. He only heard someone say: "Sir, the land price in our hometown is high. When we go back to our hometown, each of us can't buy a few acres of land. Besides, why is there only one of this good treasure?"

It’s only worth two oceans!”

The meaning is obvious, I hope Wang Wenwu can offer a higher price. But Wang Wenwu has already made two offers.

Wang Wenwu asked: "Tell me, how much do you want?"

Uncle Dog said unceremoniously: "We each have two hundred dollars!"

This price is more than the price quoted by Wang Wenwu first. It’s not that this family can’t accept it, it’s just that they can’t agree to it so simply.

Wang Wenwu said: "Too many! Just outside the city, the price of an acre of land is not more than two yuan. You can tell yourself, this is hundreds of acres of land."

Uncle Gou'er said: "It would be nice if the land in my hometown was as cheap as that. It costs more than ten yuan to buy an acre over there. We have to divide it between four people here. We took such a big risk,

You can’t just work hard to carve out a few acres of land!”

Uncle Dog's face was dark and he looked like an honest man. But for the price he was bidding, he didn't look like an honest man at all.

As for why land is so cheap? Because in the vast rural areas and some cities, the output of land is too little, and the tax cost is too high. It is extremely uneconomical to operate the land, so people who buy land are not willing to pay high prices.

Wu Zuxiang gave a typical example in his short story "Eighteen Hundred Dan": A businessman in Nanjing loaned two thousand yuan to an oil mill owner in the countryside, charging some interest every year. Later, the oil mill went bankrupt, the oil mill owner committed suicide, and the businessman went to collect the debt.

, the oil mill owner’s family said: “Do you need any money? How about we use land to pay off the debt?” The businessman said: “Our family also has more than 100 acres of land, but last year we paid dozens of oceans to pay taxes. I want it.

It’s money, why do you want your land?” A lawyer next to him followed up and said, “These days, the land is an unlucky thing, a god of plague. Whoever sees it will be afraid of it!” This land has become something that everyone will be afraid of.

Of course it can only be sold cheaply.

But not all land is worthless. The development of various regions is extremely uneven. A few big cities are abnormally prosperous, while other places are basically bankrupt. Land placed in the vast rural areas and the lifeless old capital of Peiping is very worthless. Land placed in Shanghai, Nanjing, and Guangzhou is very worthless.

, but in places like Hangzhou, every inch of land is at a premium.

Take Shanghai as an example. From the founding of the Republic of China to the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, land prices in the public concessions almost doubled every year. At the most expensive time, one acre of land could be sold for 3 million yuan.

In Guangzhou, the most prosperous shops and homes on both sides of Hui'ai Road are sold for up to 400,000 yuan per well (equivalent to more than ten square meters). Compared with the dozens of oceans or even several oceans per acre of land in other places.

Come on, land prices in Guangzhou and Shanghai are tens of thousands of times more expensive!

Why are the land prices in these big cities so expensive? Because they have prosperous commerce, convenient transportation, advanced education, and advanced culture, and there are no bandits running rampant. Rich people are crowding there. Of course, land is tight and land prices have skyrocketed.

But no matter what, Chinese farmers all hope to have their own land. The estimation of things is also how many acres of land this thing is worth!

No matter what Uncle Dog says, he just wants to eat himself up and become a landlord!

Don’t think that if you only have a dozen acres of land, you don’t count as a landlord.

Because of the traditional Chinese system of equal division of property and periodic division of property, the burden of land taxes and fees was too heavy.

Except for the families of military and political leaders who may have tens of thousands of acres of land, there are landowners with hundreds of acres of land all over the countryside. The average landowner has only a dozen acres of land.

Wang Wenwu said: "It's too expensive. Although those orbs are good things, they are not worth the price."

The dog behind the wall couldn't help it anymore and took the risk of turning around to get the things. He also looked at the things, but he said they were not worth the price.

He stuck his head out of the fence and said, "How could it not be worth the price? If you can't afford it, get out of the way! There are many people who can afford it!"

Gou'er's father was afraid that his son would be shot in the head with a gun, so he quickly dragged his son down and said to him: "Your uncle is still outside. Why are you anxious? You have no place to speak here, shut up!"

The dog sat aside with an unconvinced expression, mumbling something unknown.

The dog's father didn't care what the dog was muttering about, he just quietly looked outside. He also hoped that his brother could raise the price. After all, he took such a big risk to get it. But he also wanted something in his hand.

If you can get rid of it quickly, otherwise you, a little soldier like you, will really be caught, and that will be no good at all.

Uncle Gou'er clan was very calm. It was not that he didn't want to get this windfall, but no matter how much it was, it was his own to be able to make money. Just now, the machine gun from the opposite side was revealed, scaring away all the spectators.

Maybe the police are on the way. The people on the other side don't want the police to take action. There are many troops stationed in and outside Beiping City. If gunshots are fired, it's not clear whether the situation on the other side will be peaceful.

Uncle Dog also knows that this matter cannot be delayed for too long. When the police arrive, he doesn’t know what will happen to him on the other side, but he must have lost all his people and belongings.

When we first entered the city, my group had not visited the pawn shop before. Across the street, Uncle Laoyuan noticed that countless eyes were staring at the pawn shop. Maybe as soon as the items were handed over, the person behind the scenes would be caught.

Since the person in front of me is also sincere, it is better to keep the money in his pocket. But first of all, he said that he felt that the price was too low.
