Five Hundred and Sixteenth REBIRTH IV: The Hometown of Three Violas
Free land purchase means that the Drake Chamber of Commerce provides special resettlement funds to the immigrants, which are used to fully offset the land purchase fees that the immigrants need to pay to the landlord and the Drake Chamber of Commerce, and realize the land property rights in a legal land transaction mode Conversion delivery process.
From an economic point of view, this method is even worse than taking off your pants and farting.
The money of the Drake Chamber of Commerce passed through the hands of the immigrants, and when it flowed back into the pockets of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, the amount not only did not increase, but also had to be discounted by 10% of the tax and lost a piece of land because of the deal.
But Lorraine still asked the immigration agency to be as formal as possible.
The special grant needs to be received in real time, and the land selection and purchase need real documents. Even if it is just a formality, there must be a heavy unbearable weight of life to play an important role, so that the immigrants who have been poor all their lives can truly feel the goodwill and dedication of the Drake Chamber of Commerce.
Dad will really feel all this now.
Under Miss Vivienne's thoughtful shopping guide, the family tremblingly held the fragrant coffee and watched Raul draw lots on behalf of the Boclon family.
The young man reached into the pure white-painted ballot box in front of him, resisting the endless suction, and with his sweaty hands, fished out the most convenient piece from the piles of wood chips.
"Elk...Elk Woodland, No. 17..." He looked at the words on the wooden sign and read out every single word.
Vivienne took it solemnly, and repeated with a smile: "It's the elk forest. The village is close to a dense forest. In the forest, there is a herd of elk and a group of kind Indians. There is a small lake in the west. Less than 10 kilometers to the east is Mailang Township in Tianyuan District, which is a good place among the nine villages and three townships."
Raul's eyes sparkled like Dad's: "Really...really, ma'am?"
"The duty of a shopping guide is to show the true face of Miami to customers. We don't lie, not to mention the quality of the land is God's special care for you."
Vivian gave the number plate to the window, and exchanged the land deed and transaction documents.
"No. 17 Elk Woodland, an area of ten acres, near the village, flat, 300 feet away from the stream, land grade B, estimated value 90 octagonal gold coins, really a good place."
She put down the paperwork and handed over a heavy bag of gold coins to her father.
Dad trembled and took it.
Wow...
"Miss Vivienne, is this money?"
"Didn't you say it? It's the relocation compensation given by the Chamber of Commerce to the immigrants.
There are a total of 92 gold coins, 90 of which are special funds for land purchases, and 2 of which are living allowances. Leftover potatoes will be delivered to your tent by hand, which is already set up on your land and may need some cleaning, and there may not be enough beds for a family of four. "
"Thank... thank you..."
"No thanks." Vivienne smiled, "Drake has an obligation to make the people of Miami feel cared and warm. This is our responsibility given by God. Now, please Mr. Boclon to go through the land purchase procedures."
The 90 gold coins were clicked out, and the heavy purse quickly became lighter. The flowing gold made Dad feel a sense of reality, a kind of fulfillment of buying real estate and taking root.
He solemnly signed his initials on the land purchase contract, and the staff handed him a tax form, and lined up nine octagonal gold coins on the tax form.
Dad was stunned for a moment: "Isn't this... a subsidy?"
Vivienne pointed to the tax window on the side: "Mr. Boclon, pay the tax. According to the requirements of the city hall, you can only get your land deed with the tax payment form."
"ah……"
It's like falling from heaven to hell, a hundred or so gold coins flowed out before they were warmed up.
Facing the haughty and mean face of the tax collector, my father timidly took out the only pistole from his only savings, added another octagonal gold coin, and exchanged it with tears for the one that symbolized a new life. tax clearance certificate.
"Mr. Boclon, Miami welcomes you."
Echoing from beginning to end, Vivienne also offered Miami's sincere welcome to the citizens while offering the title deed.
Dad could clearly feel the warmth contained in the land deed.
The same hall, the correspondence between glaciers and hot springs, the difference between Drake and Spain.
The Boclon family keeps losing, gaining, and losing again. Gold and mood are swaying like a sailboat in a storm. At the moment when they rush out of the wind circle, what stays in the family's heart is not the greed of the nobles, but also Not the civil servant's indifference, but the dainty pansy blooming on Drake's monogram.
"It's so beautiful..." Mother stroked the title deed and sighed.
Vivian thoughtfully sent them out of the immigration office: "Mr. Boclon, although Miami is called a town, it is no different in size from a city. If you want to go from Miami Beach to Elk Grove, you need to cross Biscay first." Bay, and follow the signs for about 80 kilometers."
Dad's mood fell to the bottom all of a sudden.
"The Drake Chamber of Commerce understands your difficulties, so unlike other places, we have prepared sufficient public transportation in this land, which is more popular than London. In Spain, you may have never seen these vehicles and boats serving ordinary citizens. .”
Vivian stroked little Sophia's head.
"Keep going west, you can see the currency exchange on the side of the road, where you can exchange gold and silver coins and pennies. British pennies are the main change in Miami, I suggest you exchange some, after all, public transportation does not accept rials and copper pesos."
"When the pennies have been exchanged, you can find a cross-sea ferry boat with a pansy flag flying nearby. It runs every hour. It costs two pence for adults and one penny for children. Those as old as your daughter are free of charge, but yours The luggage exceeds the allowance, and it is estimated that a penny luggage ticket will be charged."
"The ferry will take you and your family to the Estuary, where you can buy a map, and there are a lot of people setting up stalls at the ferry wharf, and anything above fivepence is a scammer, or an artist."
"You can find the station by following the map, or you can go to the station by taking a stagecoach on the side of the road. Man, blue-edged pansies are stagecoaches that run all the way up the main roads, and the fare is only a penny a head."
"After arriving in the elk forest, you need to go to the village head first. The village head is temporarily held by employees of the Chamber of Commerce, but there will be the first public election on March 1. You can choose the neighbors you agree with. Once selected, he will He will be responsible for the official affairs of the village in the next three years."
"That's it, do you have any other questions?"
Dad can't remember how many times he has been stupid and dazed today. He stayed there, desperately digesting Vivienne's long paragraphs of heaven scrolls. Seeing that the situation was not good, Raul quickly stood up, puffed out his immature chest, and reliably gave Vivienne a deep bow.
"Ma'am! I heard a lot of legends about Miami on the boat, but they were so good, so good that I always believed them to be false."
"what about now?"
"They are indeed fake. Although you can still see cruel officials and villains, this place is a hundred times a thousand times better than Barcelona. She is a beautiful paradise decorated with pansy flowers. The legend does not express it at all Show off her beauty!"
"Your words are the best compliment to Drake." Vivienne smiled softly, "Please try to fall in love with this town, that is the wish of all Drakes from the bottom of their hearts."
She lifts her skirt and bends her knees: "Adiós (goodbye)."
