Gu Dongxing asked: "Can you sell me this bag of yours?"
Xiao Luo shook his head: "This is a treasure bag. If you want to buy it, you can buy it at the magic weapon shop. Why do you need to ask me to buy it?"
Mengyu and Gu Dongxing looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, as long as this thing is for sale.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Luo added another sentence: "However, this thing is very valuable. It takes more than 10,000 spiritual stones to buy a cube."
Oh, it turned out that it was ten thousand spirit stones per cube, which was not something he couldn't afford. Therefore, Gu Dongxing simply took out his treasure bag and packed six thousand spirit stones.
When Xiao Luo saw that they could actually take out the treasure bag, his eyes changed a little, but there was no greed in his eyes.
Mengyu looked at Xiao Luo's expression attentively and found that he was not greedy. She felt that although the waiter in this shop looked down on people, he was still passable.
Of course, maybe I think this treasure bag shouldn't be considered a treasure.
The two of them walked out of the store with their children in their arms. There was a hint of worry on Gu Dongxing's face: Although he had obtained seven thousand and eight spiritual stones, it was still not enough to rent a house. How should the servants arrange it?
"Let's go back to the inn and take a look. They have already rented a house."
Although the person at the registration office initially told them to go there to buy or rent a house, it can be seen that not all the houses here are in official hands.
Since private individuals have houses, they may rent them out. The reason why the people from the housing management office stopped them and refused to let them leave is probably because once they left, they would not be able to go back and rent their houses.
But if a government house is so expensive, how can it be cheaper if it is privately owned?
"hope so."
"Your Excellency and Madam are back." Gu Da and Gu Ma welcomed them into the upper room of the inn.
Mengyu untied the child and asked, "How is it? Have you found a house?"
Gu Da replied: "We followed my wife's order and avoided the inn's introduction. We went to check out the houses by ourselves. After looking for several houses, we found that the houses here were ridiculously expensive. A small courtyard house with twelve rooms.
Just ten million taels of gold."
Mengyu's heart moved. Ten million taels of gold was equivalent to one hundred thousand spiritual stones. They really couldn't afford it.
However, although this house is expensive, it is not expensive compared to the public housing from the housing management department that costs 14,000 spiritual stones a year.
Seeing that Mengyu and the two remained calm, Gu Da continued: "Later, we found another yard. That yard was bigger, it was a second-level yard, but the house was a bit shabby, and the asking price was higher, one thousand and two thousand.
One million taels of gold."
Seeing that her husband only talked about those yards that were for sale, Mother Gu quickly said: "There are also yards that are rented, and they only cost one hundred thousand taels of gold a year."
Saying the word "as long as" made her blush a little.
In Dafeng Town, you can buy a yard for a few hundred taels of silver, but here, the annual rent for a yard is one hundred thousand taels, which is still gold!
Mengyu and Gu Dongxing looked at each other and thought, yes, this private house is much cheaper.
Isn't one hundred thousand taels of gold equivalent to a thousand spiritual stones? In the official house, only one person can live in it, but if you can rent a private one, it will occupy the entire courtyard.
They only plan to live there for ten years, so renting is naturally the best option.
"Then let's rent it first."
"So expensive"
"Is there anything cheaper?" Mengyu asked. She didn't have enough spiritual stones on hand now, so she had to save some.
"Yes, there is a house with a wide yard, but the house inside is a bit dilapidated. It costs fifty thousand taels of gold a year." Mother Gu said.
Chapter 2129 The Trouble with the Housing Management Department
Mengyu thought, what's the point of worrying about a broken house? Now that her space is connected, she can get some wood from the space and repair the house.
"Okay, this is it, let's go and have a look."
After feeding the children, the four of them looked at the house together, and followed Mengyu's request to see the worst and largest yard.
However, after looking at the yard, I realized that it was not an ordinary dilapidated house.
The area is really large, only about 20 meters wide, but 40 meters deep. Therefore, there are four reverse-seat gatehouses in the front yard, and four east and west wing rooms. There is a small courtyard of nearly 100 square meters in the front yard.
This is something that ordinary yards don’t have.
The main house in the backyard has three main rooms and two wings, three east and west wing rooms, and a courtyard of approximately 150 square meters.
What makes Mengyu most satisfied is that there is a small garden of nearly 300 square meters behind the main house!
There are many of them, and the rooms in this courtyard are enough for them.
The landlord was a woman in her forties. Seeing that Mengyu and the others looked at the house with expressionless faces, she asked, "What do you think of this house?"
Mengyu sighed: "It's not that good. This house is very shabby. Look, the roof tiles are not complete. It's definitely leaking. There are no stickers on the windows. The wood is a bit bad. I don't know.
Will it rain heavily? Can you help me repair it?"
The landlord made a sad face: "If the house is good, I can't just ask for 50,000 taels of gold a year. If I repair it, I can earn 100,000 taels of gold a year."
"We can repair it ourselves, but you'll have to lower the price."
"Do you repair it yourself?" The homeowner looked at Mengyu strangely: "Do you have a repair qualification certificate?"
"What, you need to get a repair certificate if you want to repair the house you live in?"
Mengyu was confused: What kind of rule is this?
"That's for sure!" The homeowner looked at Mengyu with strange eyes, as if she didn't know that this was wrong.
Mengyu sighed: "The rain is leaking up there, how about I put a layer of something on the roof tiles to hide from the rain? The window is leaking, how about I put a layer of paper on the window?"
The homeowner shook his head: "No. House repairs are under the control of the government. If I can do it myself, do I have to worry about it? They can only repair the house sold by the government. But they usually don't repair it, so they just wait.
If it's too dilapidated to live in, they'll take it back and sell it another time."
Mengyu understood that just like today when the government forced them to rent a government house, this was another official measure. In other words, this was the housing management department’s trick.
The purpose is to take back the yard and earn spiritual stones.
She thought for a while: "If that's the case, you have so many rooms here, but I'm afraid there are less than three that can actually be lived in, and you can't rent them at this price. Let me rent them for 10,000 taels of gold a year."
Ten thousand taels of gold is equivalent to one hundred spiritual stones. This reduction is so much, how can the homeowner be willing?
Just as the landlord was about to speak, Mengyu made a gesture of leaving, and the landlord compromised: "Okay, I'll rent it to you for ten thousand taels of gold a year." In fact, her house was almost ready to be repossessed.
It's time.
"I think this house of yours will be broken down within three years of living there. Otherwise, if I give you five hundred spiritual stones, you can just sell it to us."
The landlord heard this, thought about it, and agreed: "Okay, five hundred spiritual stones is too little. If you give me one thousand spiritual stones, I will sell it."
"Eight hundred, I will give you at most eight hundred spiritual stones. If you don't sell it, I will leave."
