Chapter 118: Eat and take the card
After all, Wang Youde has been in Xiaoyaojin for many years, and he is very familiar with Kaifeng and Xiangfu counties, as well as nearby Lizheng, not only did he buy beef quickly, but also reached a private agreement with the county government.
If there is a problem with anyone's cattle, when applying to the government to confirm the slaughter, as long as the tolerance comes to notify Wang Youde, he will be given a benefit fee of 30 yuan.
Beef is much cheaper than mutton, and if you can get a long-term supply problem, it is natural to solve the source of meat dishes and meat oil.
The fat on the sheep is still too little, and it is too precious, which is not suitable for large-scale stir-fry and soup. Comparatively speaking, butter is much cheaper, and oil and water are much more sufficient.
The female chefs in the dining shed are busy and full of energy.
Before it was time to eat at noon, Wang Youde had already arranged for people to take fishing boats and shouted loudly on the river.
There was plenty of time to prepare, and more than 700 copies were sold for one meal at noon. Due to the increase in the number of cargo ships, I didn't find many idle men to do yesterday, and today I have money in my pocket to buy food.
Just when Wang Youde was selling "boxed lunches", Huang Jingsheng had already quietly led the tolerance in the yamen and the local Lizheng to begin to measure the wasteland near Xiaoyaojin.
These wastelands are so barren that they can't even grow vegetables, let alone crops, so naturally no one comes to buy them, and they are owned by the governments of Kaifeng and Xiangfu counties.
Buying land is very particular, and there are white deeds (civil deeds) and red deeds (official deeds).
A white deed is a contract signed between the buyer and the seller in private, and there is no tax in the government, which is not a completely legal land transaction.
However, due to the large number of folk white deeds. The government law does not hold the public accountable, and it is generally a matter of turning a blind eye, which can be regarded as acquiescence.
Li Zhongyi's current identity is quite embarrassing, and the nearby wasteland is owned by the government, so he must sign a red deed stamped with the government's seal.
Huang Jingsheng: That's an old fritter mixed with the lower-level officialdom. Not only did he personally arrange for a carriage to pick up the county government to measure the three tolerances of the wasteland, but also privately stuffed each person with two pieces of money. As for the local head snake - Li Zheng, Huang Jingsheng gave more, three copper coins.
According to Li Zhongyi, when the strong dragon can't swallow the ground snake. It should be evenly interested, so that everyone has a little sweetness.
After arriving at the land, an official in charge of measuring frowned and said, "Huang Daguan, this place is so barren. Is it necessary to buy so much land? The villain advises you to say a word, or buy less, right? β
Huang Jingsheng explained with a smile: "I want to start a small business in the local area. β
"Doing business here?" The prince looked Huang Jingsheng up and down in surprise, and Yan Zhan wondered if his head was caught by the door.
Huang Jingsheng smiled slightly and said, "When the time comes, I will ask Duangong to take care of it." β
"Well said, well said." That tolerance has the benefit of Huang Jingsheng, and naturally everything is easy to say.
Huang Jingsheng smiled secretly in his heart, when Lao Tzu was in charge of Dali Prison before, people sent him money to take care of his relatives in prison. He is also so perfunctory.
Say? Without money, no matter how easy it is to say, it has to become difficult to say!
1,000 acres of wasteland is not a small amount. However, it took eight days to measure the ten tolerances of the two counties.
Huang Jingsheng knew very well in his heart that these tolerances were thinking about the benefits he gave and deliberately delaying the progress. Want to catch a little more.
Despite this, Huang Jingsheng entertains these tolerances with delicious food and drink every day. There was no urging them to hurry up and get to work.
There are also people who understand Huang Jingsheng's boldness and generosity. I had a good feeling.
According to Li Zhongyi's advice, Huang Jingsheng seems to be very patient, and he needs time to get along with his connections.
These little people in the county government may not be able to help you a lot, but they can spoil your big things at a critical moment, so you must guard against it.
It's better to plant more flowers than to plant thorns everywhere, right?
After measuring the land, Huang Jingsheng deliberately moved a distance of about two zhang to the inside when he was setting up the boundary stone.
The tolerances all felt a little incredible, they had measured countless lands, only heard of too much and more use, but they had never seen such a "stupid melon" like Huang Jingsheng who took the initiative to take less land.
Huang Jingsheng remembered Li Zhongyi's cautious advice, and he didn't bother to explain, just smiled and said: "Leave a line in everything, and it will be easy to meet in the future, and it will definitely not be difficult for you to do it in the future." β
The tolerance officers gave a thumbs up and praised Huang Jingsheng gossipingly, saying that he acted brightly and boldly, unlike some rich people, who had to dig out money from the cracks in the stones.
Huang Jingsheng just laughed, but didn't say anything. Trouble comes from the mouth, and right and wrong are only due to the truth that comes out strong, even if Li Zhongyi doesn't confess, he knows it very well.
After Li Zheng confirmed with his neighbors, Huang Jingsheng accompanied the messengers back to the county office, paid the taxes, and got back the red deed stamped with the big seals of the two counties, officially becoming the largest wasteland landlord near Xiaoyaojin.
"Childe, the money for buying land, plus taxes, is converted into five dollars per acre of land. The bid in the yamen is actually four dollars per mu, and according to your instructions, I raised the price of the land. Huang Jingsheng reported in detail on the process of buying land.
Li Zhongyi chuckled softly: "Lao Huang, you did a great job. We are in a different situation now, try not to let others grasp the handle of money. β
In this Great Zhou Kingdom, there is no problem of moral weathering, as long as Li Zhongyi has money and raises ten or eight concubines, no one can control it.
In addition to the unbelievable reason of rebellion, Zan Jurun's pseudo-Taoism can only start from the aspect of money.
is very different from Meng Chang's stupid x, Chai Rong is a generation of heroes, and even Li Zhongyi has eaten his calculations, you can imagine how powerful it is?
If Zan Jurun really wants to sue Li Zhongyi for "rebellion", hehe, it is self-inflicted, and he doesn't want to live anymore!
He demanded that all the silver coins that Li Zhongyi had passed through should be accurate, and that the ins and outs of the treasury money should be clear and clear, and there could be no mistakes or omissions.
To this end, Huang Jingsheng has to bring the invited account office every day to verify every income and expenses of Xiaoyaojin Card one by one, so as to ensure that it is accurate and in place.
After the wasteland was in hand, Li Zhongyi drew a planning map, according to the laws of the market in later generations. The market to be built is divided into five major blocks, which are divided into several functional blocks such as food, daily necessities, luxury goods, Hu goods, and southern goods, so as to facilitate centralized management at that time.
Li Zhongyi plans to learn from the experience of later generations and build a two-story building. The first floor is used as a place for merchandise display and business negotiations, and the second floor is used as a small warehouse and a dormitory for the guys.
Of course, it is inappropriate to build such a large market at one time, and Li Zhongyi cannot spread the stall so big from the beginning.
Phase 1 of the project. Let's start a smaller market, slowly gather popularity, and then expand the second and third phases of the project.
Therefore, Li Zhongyi arranged for Huang Jingsheng to be in the vicinity of Jinka. First, a simple teahouse was built.
According to Li Zhongyi's plan, there are very few scattered seats inside the teahouse, almost all of them are separated private seats, the purpose is very clear, that is, to facilitate businessmen to negotiate business.
In order to rush for time, Huang Jingsheng passed the tooth people of GuΓ² Yaxing, and at the same time invited more than 100 carpenters, bricklayers, and potters engaged in construction. and the idlers who contributed their efforts.
A large number of people is a great strength, and under the guidance of an old craftsman who specializes in repairing houses, the foundation was quickly excavated.
It's in full swing on this side of the construction site. On the side of Wang Youde's restaurant, business is also getting better and better, and there are more and more passers-by who come to eat at noon and evening.
Seeing that the wooden fence gate was quickly crowded with people, Li Zhongyi decisively ordered, just outside the second gate of Jinka. For the time being, a rectangular clearing was enclosed with hemp rope, and several soap servants were watching nearby.
within the white line. According to Li Zhongyi's instructions, there were soap servants who set up nearly 100 small maza (folding stools). Let everyone sit on the mazaar and eat with a bowl in hand.
Li Zhongyi changed into civilian clothes, walked to the side of a businessman with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "This official, I see that you eat so deliciously, and the food is very delicious?" β
"Delicious? It's not just delicious, it's so satisfying, it's worth the money. It's just five cents, there are two meat and one vegetable, the beef bone soup is enough, and with three cents, you can eat three meats......" The merchant cleaned the last bite of food, raised his hand and wiped the greasy corners of his mouth, "Alas, you are so full." β
"I'll tell you the truth, when the villain is at home, he sees meat a few times a month, and it is usually ten days and a half a month before he takes the Hun family and the child to weigh a pound of meat and fight the tooth sacrifice.
"There seem to be some foreign merchants here, if you plan to exchange quotes with your peers, I can help you introduce them." Li Zhongyi deliberately asked the businessman tentatively.
The merchant shook his head and said, "The villain has already bought all the goods in Kaifeng Mansion, hired a boat, and returned to Mizhou to sell them." β
Li Zhongyi nodded, smiled and said goodbye to this Mizhou businessman.
After the businessmen left, Li Zhongyi thought to himself, I believe that it will not be long before the businessmen will gather here, buy and ship, and exchange market conditions.
In the afternoon, Li Zhongyi specially asked the soap servants to temporarily vacate the Chase Shop on the first floor, and specially invited some merchants dressed as businessmen to come in for a boxed lunch.
In today's society, businessmen who have a successful career generally have a good car to fill the faΓ§ade. Merchants in this era, although they can only wear cloth clothes, can hang some small objects to show their status around their waists, so they are very recognizable.
When the businessmen were eating, Li Zhongyi did not come forward, but just silently observed in secret.
Many of the merchants were uneducated, and they did not pay attention to the "food and silence" rule that scholars followed, and they whispered with their companions while eating.
Li Zhongyi saw it in his eyes and kept it in his heart, what he pays attention to in doing business is the effect of getting together. Chat with each other first, and if someone next to you hears useful business information, they will naturally take the initiative to join in.
At this time, Li Zhongyi suddenly saw a short businessman stuffing a handful of money to Ma Xiaoliu. After Ma Xiaoliu took the money, he ran to another tall businessman who was queuing up to eat, and whispered something.
The tall merchant hurriedly came out of the queue, walked to the short merchant, and said with a smile, "This proprietor is interested in lacquerware?" β
"Haha, I'm very interested in ...... below."
The two businessmen looked around, and finally decided to go to the vacated Zinca dormitory and have a good chat.
Li Zhongyi touched his chin and smiled slightly, Ma Xiaoliu inadvertently acted as a middleman in a business transaction, and he also got a lot of benefits. (To be continued)
