Chapter 12 Building an Inn
Chen Wenhui naturally has to take care of both sides. In order to connect the road from Shanhai City to Tiebi Pass, Chen Wenhui first built this road that is half on the grassland and half on the mountain.
Zhao Chongyi was busy fighting those disobedient small tribes all spring. Every time it's a triumphant end. Naturally, the Ma family has gained a lot. The Ma family organized these prisoners of war and sold them overseas.
Zhao Chongyi also got a lot of money from the Ma family to supplement the military fee.
Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi spent the first spring of Tiebiguan in such a busy situation and entered the summer.
When Zhao Chongyi was fighting, Chen Wenhui was also very worried, but in order not to worry too much, she could only use a lot of work to numb herself. Therefore, in the spring of Tiebiguan, Chen Wenhui is busier than when he was in Nanyang.
The results of the busyness are still very gratifying. At the very least, the old houses in the city have been renovated, and most of the roads in the city have been built. Chen Wenhui's own house has also made rapid progress, and now, Chen Wenhui has a garden where she can enjoy flowers. Some precious flowers are planted here, which brings some spice to Chen Wenhui's life.
The Wen family also completely gained a foothold here. There were many disciples of the Wen family who came this time, and almost every head of the house sent someone over. Of course, these people have one thing in common, almost all of them are concubines.
The Wen family has been multiplying for hundreds of years, the family is big, the population is large, and outsiders look at it as glorious and rich, but. True Wenjia disciples know it. In fact, after hundreds of years of reproduction, although the Wen family's industry has increased. However, the population of the Wen family also grew even faster. In this way, the property of the concubines in each house is pitiful.
Even so, because of the huge number of these concubines, the total number of them also occupies a lot, so they still occupy a lot of Wen family's resources. This made the sisters-in-law in each room very unhappy.
Now. These children came to Tiebiguan with a huge amount of money to start a business. The sons-in-law immediately seized their houses and properties. The sisters-in-law received a lot of subsidies, so they were naturally satisfied.
The concubines left the place where they lived, and there was no oppression from the concubines. You can start your own business freely at the Iron Wall. Also very happy. The leader among them is the fifth master of the long house. He was almost forty years old. Yan Shupeng's wife, Wen, is his niece. He brought his children and grandchildren to Tiebiguan, perfectly completed the tasks assigned by the family, and bought the family business of the two families. Then, these industries are divided into each clan's family.
First of all, he wanted to please Wen Hui's husband and wife, so he donated a house where ordinary people of the Yang family used to live and made a school for Chen Wenhui. These houses are too ordinary, and the children of the Wen family are not uncommon to live in. They have divided the best house with the best house. There are still a few children who have not been allocated satisfactory houses, and Wen Xianyong also gave them silver, as well as land, and when the construction can start in the spring, it is a big deal to build the house they like.
Anyway, there is not much else in Tiebiguan, that is, the land is very cheap, much cheaper than Jiangnan. This time, Wen Xianyong brought one million taels of silver, in addition to buying the properties, residences, workshops, and shops of the Yang family and the Feng family, he also bought many ordinary people's properties, shops and land by the way. Therefore, the children of the Wen family, each family can live in a spacious house, which is much more spacious than the hometown in Jiangnan.
Wen Xianyong also dedicated a beautiful mansion of the Feng family, with a garden, to Chen Wenhui as a hospital. After that, all the roads divided by Chen Wenhui, there were shops, houses, and land bought by the Wen family on the road, and Wen Xianyong demolished them directly without saying a word and dedicated them to the government.
For Wen Xianyong's approach, Chen Wenhui and Yan Shupeng praised and praised them several times.
Wen became more and more satisfied with this uncle. What a talent. It's just that I didn't know it before. It's no wonder that in the past, when I was in Jiangnan, the children of such a concubine had no future for development, and could only eat and wait for death in the family. The sisters-in-law will not give them the opportunity to show their talents.
Wen originally had a similar relationship with this uncle. However, far away from home, relatives are particularly precious, so the Wen family has a close heart to the children of the Wen family. Coupled with Wen Xianyong's ability to be a man, Wen naturally treated him better. Finding an opportunity, Wen told Wen Xianyong that it was best to take advantage of the spring when the ground could be moved, and the Wen family's house, on the land, and against the road, would be renovated.
Because in the future, the Tiebi Pass will develop rapidly, and there will be more and more people doing business, trade, workshops, and workers. There are more people who rent houses, buy houses, open shops, and live in guest houses. Now take the first step, build a few inns, restaurants, shops and the like, leaning on the road, it will definitely develop very well.
After getting the news of the Wen family, Wen Xianyong led the children of the clan to renovate the land and shops obtained by the clan. Several inns were built. These inns are easy to build. The residences of the clansmen left by the Yang family and the Feng family can be put into use with a little transformation. Therefore, this part is also the first to bring benefits to the Wen family.
Tiebiguan originally had inns and restaurants. There are also green buildings and various entertainment venues. But after all, there are fewer of them. After the beginning of spring, so many people suddenly poured in from all over the country, so many people came to do business, and so many people came to work, so naturally the original restaurants and inns were not enough. At this time, the Wen family's inns and restaurants opened several at once. It's good now, it's full as soon as it opens.
This made Wen Xianyong happy.
The largest inn in this is Wen Xianyong's own inn. At present, this inn also has a restaurant, and the business is also booming. This inn and restaurant give Wen Xianyong money every day. Can Wen Xianyong be unhappy?
The Wen family, who got the benefits, under the leadership of Wen Xianyong, took advantage of the fact that the land price was still cheap, and once again bought some land that relied on the market, the official office, and the road, and also built inns and restaurants. There are both high, medium and low grades.
In the summer, when Shanhai City began to be sold, Wen gave Wen Xianyong information again, and Wen Xianyong had not much money left, but he had the courage to borrow a huge amount of money from the bank, bought a lot of places in Shanhai City, and built restaurants and inns. It has just been covered, and as soon as it opens, it is full again.
Because the merchants and tribes who trade in Shanhai City have not yet opened a restaurant inn in Shanhai City. This time the Wen family took the lead.
By the time autumn arrived, the Wen family was already the largest inn and restaurant operator in Tiebiguan and Shanhai City.
These industries can bring a lot of income to the children of the Wen family every day. These children of the Wen family, when they were in the clan, all lived a dry life, but when they came to the bitter cold land of the northwest, they actually became rich men who have entered the gold industry one day. It made them overjoyed.
Originally, they were not happy to come from the warm Jiangnan to the bitter cold northwest. Although the clan said that their property in Jiangnan can be kept for them for ten years, after ten years, if the mix is not good, go back, there is a house to live in, food to eat, and land to cultivate. However, as soon as they left on their front feet, the property that belonged to them was occupied by their sisters-in-law. When they got the news, they were already on their way to the northwest.
This gives them a sense of fear and anger that they will be cut off. However, I found out when I came to the Iron Wall Pass. It's just so nice here. Of course, the weather was colder than expected. However, here is a good house left by the Feng and Yang families. These houses are not as narrow as their houses in Jiangnan. There are all high-rise halls here, and the houses are vast. The land here is also cheap, and the labor is also cheap, so whether you get a good house or build it yourself, you can live very comfortably.
Here, their children can go to the school just like the children of Tiebiguan. You can also ask your husband to come and teach at home.
You can pay for a doctor to come to your home, or you can go to the hospital to line up and see a doctor for free.
The people here are also cheap, and for a small amount of money, you can buy a working mother-in-law, a maid, and a small servant. Therefore, their pomp and circumstance are much larger than in Jiangnan.
Not to mention, what makes them happiest is that under the leadership of Bai Xianyong, they have built inns or restaurants, which is a business that gives them money every day. It's much better than the days of guarding dozens of acres of thin fields in the south of the Yangtze River to collect rent.
The children of the Wen family, who have received benefits, are not willing to return to the warm Jiangnan if they are given a choice now. There they were the lowly sons of the Wen family. The place where he lives is cramped, and he only has a few dozen acres of land rental income. But here. They are the eldest masters of the Wen family, the big family that replaced the Feng and Yang families, with a wide area and many people, great power, and tough backers like the Wen family and Yan Shupeng. Why do you want to go back to Jiangnan. As for their narrow houses and land in Jiangnan, if they are taken away by their sisters-in-law, they will take it away. The children of the Wen family here are not rare.
Wen Xianyong is very satisfied with his current life. He received a notice from his family, because the woolen mill in Tiebiguan is now producing more and more wool, and it has been popularized in Jiangnan. Although it is summer now, by the time the woolen material arrives in Jiangnan, Jiangnan has already turned into autumn. It's time for new products. Therefore, the Wen family attaches great importance to this new clothing market.
Pavin Xianyong did a good job in the family's procurement, and every year he had a task, that is, to ask for as many fresh woolen materials as possible, and give the materials to the caravan to bring back safely. Of course, the caravan was led by the second room, who had always been running business outside. Wen Xianyong only needs to purchase.
Because of this, according to the convention, the family wants to give Wen Xianyong dividends. These have always been enjoyed by sons-in-law. I didn't expect that one day, he would be able to enjoy it. (To be continued......)
