Chapter 165, Spending Money
Mu Chenxue sold all the grain he entered, making a net profit of more than 10,000 taels of silver, and took advantage of the natural disaster to buy three more shops in the city and buy four more granges outside the city. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info had an idea, and this day he told his mother and grandmother that he was going back to the city to inquire about the news. took Baoru and one of the guards of the prince of the county into the city in disguise.
She originally wanted to bring only Baoru, but she also knew that even if she didn't let the people of the county prince follow, they would secretly protect each other, so it was better to let them follow her, and it would be convenient to support her.
In addition to the grain stores and shops being the busiest, the Ya Dian of Yahang is also the busiest person in the city. People who didn't have the money to buy grain in their hands took out their shops and Zhuangzi to peddle them, and for a while, the small shop of 200 taels couldn't even sell 100 taels. But at this price, no one wants to buy it at this time. After all, it is more reassuring to earn money in your hands.
Baoru introduced a tooth shop that has dealings with pawnshops all over the world. The steward of the tooth shop had seen Baoru, so he personally greeted Mu Chenxue. "This young master, how much does this shop cost now, and the price is absolutely fair, what do you think you are going to do?"
"The steward, I want three shops in the East Market, there must be a courtyard in front and a back, it doesn't matter if it's bigger!" The shops in the east market are much more expensive than those in the west market, and even in the year of natural disasters, according to the requirements of the morning snow, it will take at least three or four hundred taels to buy. And this little young master costs three rooms for one mouth, which is more than a thousand taels of silver, which is not a small amount.
The steward confirmed it with Mu Chenxue again, and then he dared to believe it. I thought that this little young master must have come out of the family of an official eunuch above the fourth grade, and most of the adults in the family wanted him to have a good experience, and the smile on his face was more flattering, and his attitude was more respectful.
Regarding the attitude of the steward, Mu Chenxue just smiled, these people are mercenary, and they are the best at judging people by their appearance. Fortunately, she arranged the people of the county prince outside just now, otherwise I was afraid that the person in charge would have knelt on the ground and talked to her a long time ago.
"The steward, in addition to the three shops, I also want to buy four Zhuangzi, the Zhuangyuan does not need to be too good, but the fields should be medium or above good land. It doesn't matter how big the area is, I don't know if you have it? The steward was just glad that he had met a big customer, and when he heard that the little master was going to buy Zhuangzi, he smiled even more.
"Yes, the largest Zhuangzi has nearly 500 acres of fertile land, and the smallest has 100 acres, but the location is far and near, I don't know what the young master likes?"
"Be closer to the county, don't be too far! The best fields are those that can be connected, and the ones with small hills are even better! She had long wanted to plant fruit trees and farm the land by herself, and what she wanted to buy was actually a grange rather than a shop.
"Yes, there are just four Zhuangzi in the hands of the little one who echoed the young master's request, if you have time today, the little one will drive you to take a look?" The steward wants to settle the matter today, and the longer this matter drags on, the greater the variables.
"Good!" Mu Chenxue also wants to settle things before the year. "I still need some minions to take care of these granges, and the stewards will also help me prepare, and I will pick people when I see Zhuangzi!" If you have an industry, someone has to take care of it. It's okay for these people in her hands to be busy with one Zhuangzi and two shops, but if she adds three more shops and four Zhuangzi, I'm afraid that it won't be enough to break people apart.
"Yes, yes, after two years of natural disasters, the slave who sold himself was the only thing that you bought people to stutter and let them do anything!" The stewards are not exaggerating, these people sold themselves, but they could stutter and live. But these words were a little harsh in the ears of Mu Chenxue. But she didn't stop the steward's nonsense, she just blocked his words.
I first went to see the three shops in the city, the location is very good, and there is even a two-story tea house, which has just been renovated. According to the steward, the owner had just renovated the shop and caught up with the natural disaster, thinking that as long as it survived this year, business would be better. But I didn't want to be unable to eat for two years in a row, so I had to sell the newly renovated shop to spend the day.
The other two, one is a grocery store and the other is a cloth shop. This man doesn't even have a stutter, and no one wants to buy these things. The façade of these two shops is not small, and what satisfies Mu Chenxue the most is that the courtyards of the two shops are particularly large, and the backyard is full of warehouses and a lot of inventory.
"I want all three!" Without even thinking about it, the three shops were given. The steward almost didn't laugh, the tooth shop hadn't opened for almost three months, and this opening met a big customer. Again and again to the treasure as a gesture. Baoru just smiled and said nothing.
When I went out of the city, I first went to see the 500-acre grange, the courtyard was only a second-entry yard, it was not good, and it was even a little dilapidated, but half of the field was of the best quality. The other three Zhuangzi are even more ingenious, they are very close to each other, and they only walk for about a quarter of an hour.
There is a small village of 100 acres, in the middle of the three villages, just on a small hill, but the land is slightly barren. Mu Chenxue carefully picked up the clod of soil, and even put it in his mouth to taste it, it was not saline-alkali land, it should be that the people of this Zhuangzi were not good at taking care of it, and it was slightly barren if he didn't take care of it.
"Who is this Zhuangzi?" Mu Chenxue just asked casually, but the words in charge almost didn't make her laugh.
These three smaller Zhuangzi are connected because they are of the same person. And the original owner was the eldest lady Cheng. At the beginning, the shogunate was robbed by the disaster, and in order to buy food to spend the day, Cheng sold all three of his Zhuangzi. Only a few shops and a Zhuangzi for Xu and Ma were left in their hands.
"Okay, I want these three Zhuangzi!" Even if it is not the eldest lady's to sell the Zhuangzi, Mu Chenxue plans to buy it, not to mention that this Zhuangzi is still hers, so she has to buy it. One day it was brought out of the shogunate as a dowry, and it was relieved to think about it.
"It's just a slave on the Zhuangzi, I don't want any of them!" Generally, if you buy a Zhuangzi, as long as the minions don't make any big mistakes, most of the new owners will not send people away. But these people are all the people of the eldest lady, even if these people will be used by her in the future, she is not willing.
"Yes, let's arrange it for the little ones!" Mu Chenxue bought all the shops and Zhuangzi as "Mu Qing", and spent a total of 3,000 taels of silver. The three Zhuangzi of the eldest lady, she fiercely suppressed the price.
It cost less than fifty taels to buy more than 20 minions, and human life is the least valuable in these years. These people were all single-handedly picked out by Mu Chenxue, but she still brought these people back to the grange and handed them over to Tong Jiang. This man can pretend for a while, but he can't pretend for a lifetime. She couldn't promise that she wouldn't look away. Therefore, when these people can't be used for themselves, they still have to be managed by Tong Jiang. (To be continued.) )
