Bai Gui bought this house with a white deed (also called a grass deed).
In the early years of the Republic of China, the old dynasty continued, and there was no government organization such as the Housing Authority, so the buying and selling of houses were done privately, using the house deed. There was often only one copy of the house deed, which stated who the seller was, the middleman, and the person handling the house.
, generally the name of the buyer will not be written, and will be handed over to the buyer for safekeeping after the sale is completed.
And once the deed is lost, the person who finds it can occupy the magpie's nest.
However, what can be taken over is a private white deed, which means a house deed that has not been registered with the government. If it is registered with the government, affix the deed tail uniformly printed by the government typesetting on the white deed, and stamp it with the official name of the county or state government.
After agreeing, the seal should be adjusted to about three inches, square in shape, and the seal script should be in bold red color, so it became a red deed.
However, changing from a white deed to a red deed is not simple, and it is not free of charge. Taxes need to be paid on time, etc.
At the end of the deed, the name of the buyer and seller, property amount, price, and tax are noted.
Paying house tax is equivalent to having official protection.
To put it simply, a white contract is equivalent to a private contract without publicity. It is an agreement that can avoid taxes. It is the first choice for some common people or people who are not very wealthy...
Bai Gui maintained everything in a stable manner, and he paid a few taxes on the red deed.
If you can get a red deed, do it. You don’t want the subsequent white deed to become an argument for criticism by some people.
"Thank you for making this trip to the Yamen."
Bai Gui accepted the deed, looked at the end of the deed, with the official seal stamped in red, nodded and said, "How much money did it cost to go to the Yamen? I'll make up for it for you."
Zhou Defa had little family property, and his fifty silver dollars had not yet been used up.
But when you go to the government office, even if you change the white deed into a red deed, which is an increase in taxes for the country, the petty officials will still ask for money. This is a common practice. After all, the country's finances and taxes have nothing to do with them, so how can they actively do things.
Therefore, if you want the white deed to be turned into a red deed, you should get it done as soon as possible. This matter won't be done for ten and a half months.
"Thirty-six silver coins were spent. Thirty silver coins were deed taxes, and the remaining six silver coins were gifts to the Yamen."
Zhou Defa said.
“The price is quite reasonable.”
Bai Gui nodded.
In the Ming Dynasty, residents in the capital were charged for housing titles. The standard was four cents per room per month, and three months were waived every year. In the Qing Dynasty, in the fourth year of Shunzhi, it was stipulated: "If private people buy and sell houses, the buyer shall pay according to the regulations."
The sales price was 3 cents per silver, which was stamped on the deed paper by the government as proof." In the seventh year of Yongzheng's reign, it was routinely stipulated: "In addition to every 2 taels of tax and 3 cents, an additional 1 cent was levied as examination room expenses.
The end of the deed shall be stamped with the official seal and given to the owner.”
He bought this house for 750 silver dollars, so he paid 4 cents per silver, which was actually a 4% rent for the house and ground. This translates into a deed tax of 30 silver dollars for this transaction.
"Here are forty silver dollars. The extra money is for your hard work."
Bai Gui took out forty pieces of cash from his wallet and gave it to Zhou Defa.
Although it seems that Zhou Defa only earned four silver dollars for his hard work, in fact, after adding the previous fifty silver dollars, excluding some of the money spent on repairing the house, some of the money spent on buying daily necessities, and some of the money spent on helping others
..., Zhou Defa, at least this time, was able to make a profit of nearly ten silver dollars.
That’s a lot of money!
At this time, according to the salary level in Yanjing, the average rickshaw puller can earn seven to eight silver dollars per month. Except for the intellectual class, this is a high salary, otherwise the rickshaw puller would not be so prosperous...
For example, the three nannies hired by Brother Xun's family provide food and accommodation, but their monthly income is no more than three silver dollars.
Of course, compared with the intellectual class, the monthly salary of rickshaw pullers is pitifully small. At this time, the average monthly salary of ordinary primary school teachers is 20 yuan, while the salary of college teachers is about a hundred silver dollars. For example, Dr. Hu’s monthly salary is 3
One hundred silver dollars, President Cai's monthly salary as the president of Peking University is six hundred silver dollars...
"Thank you Mr. Bai..."
Zhou Defa's nose turned red again and he looked excited.
Originally, he planned to ask Bai Gui for the deed tax first, but after thinking about it, he decided to advance it himself. This was a big gamble for him. If Bai Gui refused, his money would be wasted.
But the result was not what he expected. These big shots were not too stingy and generous, and they made a lot of money in one go.
Bai Gui nodded, waved his hand, and asked Zhou Defa to step back.
…
The second day.
White House, living room.
"I don't really want you to be a girl's school teacher."
"But if it can give you some leisure time, as my brother said, you might as well take a few steps back from your self-destruction..."
Bai Xiuzhu packed Bai Gui's clothes and said reluctantly.
A teacher must look like a teacher.
Naturally, you can't be as handsome as Bai Gui dressed up before, and you have to be more simple. At least you are not allowed to wear the Omega watch on your hand. It is too expensive, and it will be terrible if you are targeted by some fox.
"When you dress me up like this, I really look like a shabby scholar..."
Bai Gui looked at his current attire in the floor-length mirror. He only had a long gown. He shook his head and couldn't help laughing.
In fact, he came here this morning to ask Bai Xiuzhu what to avoid and what to pay attention to when going to a women's college. After all, he has never been to a women's college, especially today's women's colleges. Most of them are hearsay. After Bai Xiuzhu returned to China,
I have also attended a church school for one or two years, so I still know some of the rules...
"Go and remember to come back early..."
"By the way, you are not allowed to accept letters or gifts from those female students. Please keep your distance."
Bai Xiuzhu suddenly thought of something and warned.
She seemed to find it inappropriate, so she added, "I'm not a jealous woman. This is for your own good. Many male gentlemen who have entangled with female students have been ruined. Some had personal relationships, but some were completely framed."
Yes, you have a great reputation. You should pay more attention to yourself and don't stumble over some trivial things."
"I know that, except when teaching, female students are not allowed to meet each other."
Bai Gui nodded.
He was also cautious about this.
It's called free love, but the male teacher and the female student definitely can't get along. He's not in Japan now, so he has to pay attention to it, and don't let his reputation be ruined because of this trivial matter.
Besides, joining the girls' school to teach is just a plan to temporarily avoid the limelight.
If you are involved too much, it will be difficult to resign in the future.
"Um."
Bai Xiuzhu was satisfied at this time and nodded lightly.
"I'm just going to report today and come back early to teach you how to ride a horse."
Bai Gui came closer, smelled the fragrance of the girl's hair, and said.
After these days, Bai Gui discovered that Bai Xiuzhu, the young lady in the boudoir, had a somewhat weak constitution. Of course, compared with ordinary people, it cannot be said to be unhealthy, but staying at home all day long would inevitably lead to a decline in physical fitness.
As for exercise, it is obviously inappropriate for a lady to do it.
Therefore, in the name of riding a horse, he could only let Bai Xiuzhu exercise more on the way to make her body healthier.
