The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

Chapter 470: Buy

Translator: Lonelytree

This was the first time they had heard about the buying and selling of property rights, so they were extremely curious. After hearing Lin Yuelan’s explanation, they quickly understood.

In reality, this was just like renting. The only difference was the duration.

Nowadays, it was mainly the government or the landlord who rented the land to the farmers. Basically, it was for a year. If they wanted to continue to rent the land for the next year, they had to make an agreement in advance. Of course, this decision was in the hands of the government or the landlord. They had the final say in who to rent the land to. The farmers were very passive.

But, the lease that Lin Yuelan was talking about had a long term, such as 30 years. However, this kind of lease was very disadvantageous to the landlord or the government in terms of collecting rent and interest.

Of course, that was unless there were special circumstances.

Lin Yuelan continued, “I’ll rent all of your farms and hills for 30 years. Each mu of land will cost half a tael of silver a year. The rent for 30 years will be 23400 taels of silver, and one tael of silver will be the rent for each hill. For 32 hills, the rent will be 960 taels of silver for 30 years. In addition to the various rents for the various houses and the rising prices of goods, the total rent for 30 years will be between 25000 and 30000 taels of silver.”

They were stunned by Lin Yuelan’s quick calculation.

Guo Bing was dumbfounded. “Miss Lin, how did you calculate this?” To them, these numbers were complicated. Even for him, he had to at least use an abacus.

Lin Yuelan really wanted to roll her eyes and tell him that this was primary school math.

However, she knew that to the ancient people, mathematics was really difficult.

Lin Yuelan then said very seriously, “We’ll talk about this later. Let’s finish what we have to do.”

Guo Bing nodded and waited patiently.

In fact, he was scratching an itch in his heart.

He was familiar with the nine chapters of arithmetic, and he had also studied them deeply. However, he always felt that there was a gap in the field of arithmetic, which was not ideal.

They might have to reevaluate their understanding of mathematics.

After Lin Yuelan finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Zhennan and said very seriously, “Brother nan, I wonder if you understand what I’m saying? ”

Jiang Zhennan nodded and said, “Yes. It’s just that Miss Yue ‘Er, I don’t want your money. I just want to put these fields directly under your name.”

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, “big brother nan, I’m not related to you. I can’t accept your 1000 mu of land directly.”

Jiang Zhennan was willing to give it to her, but she was not willing to accept it. If there was a dispute or fallout between the two of them in the future, it would become unclear what the property would be.

Therefore, in case of emergencies, the best way was to buy out the right to plant these fields.

Jiang Zhennan’s expression changed slightly, and there was an unusual look in his eyes. Then, he said, “Miss Yue ‘Er, have you forgotten that my brothers and I still owe you 330000 taels of silver? So, I’m not giving it to you for free. It’s to pay off the 330000 taels of silver I owe you.”

Lin Yuelan’s fingers, which were holding the title deeds, paused for a moment. Then, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, “Oh, I see. since you’re using these title deeds to pay back the silver you owe, I’ll accept them. But,” As she said this, she said very seriously, “Words alone don’t prove anything. Let’s set up a contract first, in black and white. We’ll have proof in the future. Otherwise, if you go back on your word or try to bully me, I’m just a little commoner. How can I fight against a great general, don’t you think?”

These words made Jiang Zhennan feel a little sad.

This was because Lin Yuelan’s words were clearly a sign of distrust.

In fact, he was sincere. He had never thought of using the 1000 Mus of land to pay off the 300000 debt. To him, the 1000 Mus was not enough.

However, Lin Yuelan could only accept it this way.
