But fortunately, Cao Yan was clever and came up with a remedy at once, he pretended to be embarrassed, and said: "Otherwise, you can sell me a piece of land, I will set up a processing factory on this land, well, it is a processing factory," Cao Yan emphasized to himself, and temporarily threw away the bad thoughts in his mind.

When he said this, he instantly thought of moving the initial processing of wool to Sakura Country, after all, the first steps were troublesome and toxic, not good for people's health, and a lot of hot water was needed to remove fat, and Sakura Country was a bird place, there were not many others, there were many hot springs, so thinking about it, it could also help you save a lot of money.

Thinking of it, Cao Yan couldn't help but pat his thigh and praise his wit, which startled the people around him.

"Processing plant?" None of the people present had ever heard of this word, so they stared at Cao Yan a little curiously, wanting him to explain the meaning to everyone.

"That is, to process one thing into another, in simple terms, it is like processing rice and molting it into rice." Cao Yan explained simply.

"But, Mr. Fuhu, we don't have much rice here!" Someone asked suspiciously.

"I'm just using an analogy, it's not that I need rice, on the contrary, I can bring rice to you." Cao Yan said.

In this era, food is a good thing, but due to the limitation of transportation capacity, generally speaking, this thing does not make money, just like everyone knows that transporting grain to cherry blossoms makes money, but at this time, the profit of transporting a boatload of grain to cherry blossoms is not as good as transporting a few porcelain, so many people do not like to do these businesses from a distance.

Of course, when they heard Cao Yan say that they could transport grain to sell, their happiness was indescribable, and there was often a shortage of food in this part of the cherry blossom country.

"Oh, so what does that need to be?" Someone hurriedly asked.

When Cao Yan heard this, his heart was settled, and he smiled slightly: "It's simple, first of all, I need to buy a piece of land, of course, the price, you can discuss it!" ”

"This is the second, that is, when I need to recruit people to work in my factory, I will hire people from everyone, and each person will be given a thousand dollars a month, of course, this money will be handed over to you." Cao Yan didn't say anything in the second half, that is, he was going to give those workers two hundred wen alone every month, which was a nail, so that these people could promote their own goodness in order to accept themselves, in case they came to occupy the cherry blossoms in the future, there would definitely be a lot of Japanese traitors, as well as the leading party, of course, this is not successful, Cao Yan doesn't care, it's just a step of idle chess.

However, this proposal can be regarded as a benefit for the people present, thinking that if his family calls hundreds of people to go, then there will be more than 100,000 yuan a month, this is exciting!

"Hmmm! Not bad, not bad! Sure enough, when these conditions were spoken, everyone immediately agreed to 70 percent in their hearts, and of course they must have wanted to hear other good news, so someone continued to ask, "Is there any more, sir?" ”

"Also, if you have any needs, you can tell me in advance, as long as Da Song has it, I will find a way to help you transport it."

As soon as Cao Yan's words came out, the seventy percent became eighty.

Now the only 20 percent is to see where Cao Yan is going to buy.

"Can the gentleman tell us what you're going to sell?" Now some people can't sit still, they are all ready, and then as long as Cao Yan does not ask for a lease in Kyoto, then in other places, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

Of course, at this time, there is basically no objection to the sale of land for them, and at this time, there is no so-called land that cannot be leased and sold to other people, otherwise it is a humiliation to the country and a loss of power, and Cao Yan is still a celebrity in their suzerainty and a celebrity in Dachu, which is even more of a problem.

So everyone held their breath and wanted to listen to Cao Yan say where to choose.

"Oh, this place?" Cao Yan pretended to be thinking, and he definitely couldn't say it directly at this time, but Cao Yan's heart was already happy at this time, he pretended to bow his head and thought for a while, and asked a little embarrassed: "Is there a map here?" ”

"Bring me the map!" Someone shouted quickly.

The map was laid out in front of Cao Yan, Cao Yan's hand pointed to the east and touched the west, and finally chose Daejeon and Jiangjin to draw a circle, "How is this place?" ”

Everyone let out a long sigh when they saw the place chosen by Cao Yan, this place was simply too good, first of all, it was not far from their own country.

Not only is it safe for itself, but also not afraid of Cao Yan under his nose out of a moth, and secondly, it is convenient to transport goods, from the sea, transport materials to Crane Dance ashore, in three or five days, it can be transported to Kyoto, of course, if the road is repaired a little better, then it can be reached in a day or so, and the place chosen by Cao Yan is also remote, in addition to the mountain, it is a stone, and there are very few flat land, which seems to have no development prospects, if it can be sold, it is simply a profit.

"Is the gentleman going to pay for this land?" Someone asked.

Cao Yan thought for a while, and then said: "When I bought Qixia Mountain in Jiangning Mansion, I bought it according to 300 Wen per mu, a total of more than 40,000 mu, 12 million Wen, and this place is ......" Cao Yan looked at the circle he drew on the map, and thought for a long time before asking: "How big do you think this is?" ”

A group of people around looked at Cao Yan with dark faces, and they calculated how big the place Cao Yan painted was! However, in order to prevent this from having too many dreams at night, they all said, "Sir, you can only do the math." ”

"How about you read 100 million texts?" Cao Yan reported a figure, in fact, this is 100,000 guan, 300 tons of copper.

At this time, the currency of the Great Song Dynasty was also regarded as the hard currency of this territory, so now these neighboring countries accept the currency of Great Chu.

As soon as this price came out, there was no need to negotiate, everyone immediately nodded in agreement, and even breathing was a lot heavier, and then a little afraid that Cao Yan would regret it, and stared at him deadly, after all, they all thought that the place was a little not worth the price.

Cao Yan smacked his lips and shook his head, not knowing what kind of mood he was in now.

But his action made the hearts of everyone present raise their throats, for fear that Cao Yan would say a word and give too much.

At this time, Cao Yan suddenly spoke again: "Then do you want to sign a treaty?" So as not to have any disputes in the future? ”

"This is as it should be, as it should be, but I don't know when Mr. is going to sign the treaty?" Someone immediately agreed, and asked in a somewhat anxious tone.

"Right now." Cao Yan thought about it and said, he was also afraid of long nights and dreams.

Hearing Cao Yan's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they wished that Cao Yan would sign it immediately, but they didn't show it for the sake of face, "Okay!" One spoke first, followed by a group of people who nodded.

"And how do you hire workers?" Although the money to buy land is related to everyone, it is not big, at most when the salary is paid, the government is happy, but the employment of workers is directly related to everyone's interests.

Cao Yan looked at the more than thirty officials present, "Each family will hire a hundred first, okay?" Will it be a little more? ”

"Not much, not much," someone hurriedly shouted, this is a thousand dollars a month, a hundred is 100,000 yuan, they are excited when they think about it, they still wish Cao Yan hired more.

"And that's how the contract was signed?" Cao Yan asked in an inquiring tone, "By the way, do you have anything else to add?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, "Nothing else, but isn't the number of hired people a little small?" Someone asked, obviously every family has a lot of small families attached to it, like these big families, who doesn't have a thousand eight hundred slaves? Everyone was excited at the beginning, but they didn't become a little dissatisfied with Cao Yan's quota of 100 people.

Cao Yan said with a smile: "This is a new opening, so for the time being, there are only so many people, I promise that as long as the scale is expanded, then I will definitely continue to hire people from various families." ”

"Then we don't have any problems, I don't know what is wrong with Mr.?" When he asked this, everyone looked at Cao Yan a little breathlessly.

Cao Yan shook his head and said that there was no problem.

Soon, the two sides drew up a treaty, which was proposed by Cao Yan and called the Kyoto Land Sale Treaty.

This land cession treaty was signed, which Cao Yan considered to be.

Cao Yan and the emperor and the ministers present were very happy.

But Cao Yan is the happiest one in this, although no one present knows why Cao Yan is so happy.

After that, of course, it's time to exchange gifts.

When Cao Yan gave a mirror, a bottle of perfume, and porcelain cloth to everyone present.

They also gave Cao Yan a lot of gifts, such as katanas, bamboo fans, handicrafts, and a hundred twelve, three, and four-year-old loli.
