The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

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 were no government organizations such as housing bureaus, so houses were bought and sold privately, using property deeds. There is often only one copy of the property deed, which states who the seller is, the middleman, and the person handling the property. Generally, the name of the buyer is not written, and is 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 property deed that has not been registered with the government. If it is filed with the government, a deed tail printed by the government typesetting is affixed to the white deed, and it bears the official approval of the county and state offices. It is regularized by about three inches, made square, in seal script, and bright red, and it becomes a red deed.

However, changing from a white deed to a red deed is not simple, and it is not free. Taxes need to be paid on time, etc.

The buyer's name, property amount, price, and tax are marked at the end of the deed.

Paying house tax is equivalent to having official protection.

To put it simply, a white contract is equivalent to a private contract without publicity. The agreement can avoid taxes. It is the first choice for some common people or people who are not very wealthy...

Bai Gui kept everything stable, and he paid the red deed's taxes.

If you can get a red deed, get a red deed. You don’t want the 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 few family assets, 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, it will increase taxes for the country, but the petty officials will still ask for it. This is a common practice. After all, the country's finances and taxes have nothing to do with them, so how can they actively handle matters. Therefore, if you want the white deed to be turned into a red deed, get it done as soon as possible. This matter won't be done for ten days and a half.

"Thirty-six silver dollars were spent. Thirty silver dollars were deed taxes, and the remaining six silver dollars were gifts to the Yamen."

Zhou Defa said.

“The price is quite reasonable.”

Bai Gui nodded.

During the Ming Dynasty, residents in the capital were charged for house numbers. The standard was four cents per room per month, with three months of exemption every year. In the Qing Dynasty, in the fourth year of Shunzhi, it was stipulated: "If a private person buys or sells an apprentice's house, the buyer shall pay a tax of three cents for each silver of the selling price, and the government will stamp the deed paper as proof." In the seventh year of Yongzheng, it was also routinely stipulated : "In addition to the three-cent tax for every two taels, an additional one cent will be levied as examination room expenses, and the official seal will be stamped on the end of the deed 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.

"This is 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 and some of the money spent on buying daily necessities, please help me spend some money. ..., at least this time, Zhou Defa was able to make a profit of nearly ten silver dollars.

That’s a lot of money!

According to the salary level in Yanjing at this time, the average rickshaw puller can earn seven to eight silver dollars per month, which is considered a high salary except for the intellectual class, 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 to the intellectual class, the monthly salary of a rickshaw puller is pitiful. 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 300 silver dollars, and President Cai's monthly salary as the president of Peking University is 600 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 pay it in advance himself. This is a big gamble for him. If Bai Gui doesn't admit it, his money will be wasted. But the result was as he expected. These big shots were not too stingy and generous, and they made a lot of money in one go. valley

Bai Gui nodded, waved his hand, and told Zhou Defa to step back.

…

The second day.

White Mansion, living room.

"I don't really want you to be a female 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.

Of course, he can't be as handsome as Bai Gui dressed up before, and he has to be more simple. At least the Omega watch on his hand is not allowed to be worn. It is too expensive, and it will be terrible if he is 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, she went to a women's college. 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 think it was 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, so you should pay more attention to yourself and don’t stumble over some trivial things.”

"I know this. Female students are not allowed to meet unless they are teaching."

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 with each other. He is not in Japan now, so he must pay attention to not let his reputation be ruined because of this trivial matter.

Besides, joining the girls' school to teach was 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. I'll come back early and 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, he could only let Bai Xiuzhu exercise more in the name of riding a horse to make her body healthier.
