The next day, Lin Jiu brought back good news. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he deliberately went back to the house in the afternoon to give good news to Song Chen and Su Miao, and the first sentence was: "Baiyun Mountain was successfully taken." ”

"That's great!" Even Song Chen, who easily did not show his emotions, was a little more happy at this time, because although the plan was applicable no matter which place he finally bought, the design drawings were applicable, but when he painted those courtyards, what he thought about in his mind was the scenery of Baiyun Mountain, and now that things are going so smoothly, how can he be unhappy?

In fact, Lin Jiu himself was a little surprised: "That broker is a real person, didn't we plan to ask for a little more than two silver, as long as it is not too much, we will prefer Baiyun Mountain?" When I was looking for a broker, I thought that I hadn't reached that step yet, and I didn't mention it to him, but when he went to negotiate with the seller, he directly helped to bring the price down. ”

"The seller's original offer price was 10,000 taels, and the farmland on the top of the hill and the slope of the mountain all belonged to Baiyun Mountain, which must have more than 1,000 acres! In terms of the land price of Lily of the Valley City, this price is on the low side. However, because Baiyun Mountain is close to the boundary of Sword Orchid City, it is far away from the main city of Lily of the Valley City, and it belongs to the location of no village in front of the village and no store in the back, so it is not favored. The broker used this as a reason to lower the price of 2,000 taels, and the lowest transaction was 8,000 taels! ”

"That's a good job!" Su Miao praised, "Uncle Lin, when you give the broker a reward, give him an extra six hundred taels as a thank you gift!" ”

"Yes!" Lin Jiu is also thinking about this. These brokers, usually use them less, but when needed, they can also be very helpful, not to mention, they are the most knowledgeable about the market, if they really think about the buyer, they can still save a lot of silver. Take 30% of the money saved as a thank-you gift, and if there is any more use for them in the future, they will definitely do their best. After all, if the broker makes a business, in terms of this Baiyun Mountain transaction, the remuneration he can get is only about four hundred taels, and this thank you gift has more than doubled the honorarium!

"The land has been bought, so when can we arrange for people to start construction?" Lin Jiu asked, he knew that Song Chen had been drawing pictures for the past two days.

"Once the contract is ready, work will start immediately." Song Chen's drawings have been drawn, and the two copies for Lin Jin and Song Henghuan have been sent over, and the design of the basement and the granary on the ground of the three pictures are exactly the same, as for the courtyard on the ground, the two copies of Lin Jin and Song Henghuan are the same, that is, the general four-entry courtyard, the style is atmospheric and simple. In fact, the one on Baiyun Mountain, in addition to the unique double courtyard with wings and double flights, some other designs are similar to the other two. Song Chen thinks it's normal anyway: the other two places are where the two of them live in the same courtyard, only on their side, he and Su Miao need to live in their own separate courtyards, so it's normal to be a little different in layout!

"Have you found all the people?" Su Miao asked, she remembered that Song Chen asked Lin Jiu to pay attention to whether the family members of those guys could come over to help, and she didn't ask Lin Jiu about the situation later, and she didn't know how many people she had found.

"I've found it." Lin Jiu replied, "The guys of Hengqing Hall are all carefully selected, and they can be trusted in terms of character. Among these guys, there are sixteen young and strong laborers who can come out of the family, and if you are in the house, you can also send eight young men to go up the mountain, and those in Hengqing Hall can draw six, adding up to a total of thirty people, which should be enough for manpower. ”

Song Chen took out the drawings and handed them to Lin Jiu: "How long do you think it will take to build?" ”

There are about 20 acres of gentle vacant land on the top of Baiyun Mountain that can be used to build a house, according to Song Chen's design, the granary is about two acres, but the capacity of the basement is four times the size of the granary, with eight acres. This is the most difficult and time-consuming, and in addition to other courtyards on the ground, thirty people can complete the main body in less than ten days. And the most important thing that the whole Zhuangzi needs to keep secret is the basement, as long as the warehouse is built, in addition to the granary on the ground, the others can be recruited outside, and the two aspects can be carried out at the same time.

Lin Jiu looked at the drawings carefully: "If all thirty people go to build the basement in the early stage, it is estimated that it should be completely completed within a month." ”

"It's okay at this time!" Song Chen's right hand on the table subconsciously hit the table with his fingertips, which was a habitual action when he was thinking, "The grain shop can be opened in five days, right?" At the beginning, it is expected that there will be less business, and the warehouse in the grain store should be able to be placed. "Song Chen has already done his homework in this area before, he usually sells grain, and after the harvest, he has already sold some of it, and the rest will be released almost after the new grain is planted, depending on the situation of the sky. This matter is not urgent, anyway, they are also preparing for natural disasters, in case this natural disaster comes early, and the food in the hands of the farmers happens to be still there, it is also a good thing, there is no need to turn around.

"That's right, Uncle Lin. Among this group of people, a small leader is selected to come out, who is responsible for buying and selling the materials needed and communicating with the outside world. If anyone asks. It is said that the owner of Hengqingtang likes the beautiful mountains and rivers over there, and it is quiet enough, so he bought it and built a village. Song Chen admonished.

"Well, it's actually nice to come and escape the cold in the winter." Su Miao said, "If it weren't for the fact that this year was more abnormal, Lily of the Valley City at this time would have been quite warm...... Another day, we will discuss with the master, every two cities will build a type of village, when it is hot, we will live in the north, as the weather slowly gets cooler, we will move south in turn, until the coldest time, we will move to the coastal city! ”

"Yes!" Song Chen looked at Su Miao's big eyes that were shining with excitement, "You don't need Hengqing Hall to do this, we can do it!" It is too dense to build one for every two cities, and the seasons of several cities are not far apart, so it is troublesome to move, so we can build three villages on the line from north to south. Then you can use the middle one as the base point and build one in each direction from east to west. It should be enough to have three farms in the whole of Dalan......"

Lin Jiu saw that the two young owners were talking farther and farther, and they had nothing to do with the other villages in Baiyun Mountain, so he hurriedly said goodbye and went back to Hengqing Hall.

Lin Jiu arranged for people to purchase materials and transport them to Baiyun Mountain on the same day, and the construction began the next day. (To be continued.) )
