Xu Qilin is completely confident in this, and with the development of real estate outside Jinguangmen and Chunlimen, his suggestions are more convincing and theoretical.

If the store is opened to all parts of the country in advance, it is convenient for logistics, warehousing, trading, and convenient for businessmen to transport and live, which is undoubtedly a forward-looking and profitable business.

But Xu Qilin didn't want to do such a grand job, but wanted to hand over this business to the central government, which could be regarded as a small relief of the imperial court's financial situation.

If it is done by the central government, it can be said that it has unique and convenient conditions. Because there is already a ready-made post and lodging place, that is, the post station.

Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, the system of post transmission has continued to develop, and "post" has replaced all the previous "post", "pavilion" and "pass".

As a result, the Tang Dynasty Post was tasked with delivering official state documents and letters, as well as conveying urgent military information, transporting officials, Huairou ethnic minorities, quelling civil unrest, hunting down criminals, comforting and escorting prisoners in disaster areas, and sometimes managing the transportation of tribute and other small items.

Of course, many tasks also mean that the level of the post is high, according to the number of post men, the size of the post station, the Tang Dynasty divided the post station into six classes, from the first class post with twenty post men, until the sixth class post only two to three people.

Regardless of the size of the post station, Xu Qilin took a fancy to the geographical location of the post station and the distance of one every twenty miles.

Twenty miles, for people who travel and transport, whether you are a hundred miles a day, or dozens of miles a day, rest early or be greedy for darkness, you will not miss the accommodation, and you must guard the goods and spend the night in the field.

Therefore, Xu Qilin's idea is to build a store next to the post station, either managed by the post house, or leased to an individual, and it can be contracted.

You must know that the post stations are all located on the wide post road, that is, the main road of land transportation, people and vehicles must pass, and the location is very convenient.

In addition, the store that opened next to the post station can also give people a sense of security. When a merchant walks, it is still possible to encounter robbers and live in a black shop, just like Sun Erniang's steamed bun shop.

The postmen in the post station are all state workers. Some post stations in the pass fortress are also garrisoned by soldiers. These will undoubtedly reassure the businessmen who stay and rest.

Looking at Datang, there are now more than 1,300 land stations, distributed on seven main roads.

If there was a shop next to each land station, which could not only provide rest and accommodation for business travelers, but also provide a warehouse to protect the transported goods from rain and snow, logistics, transit, and service in one shop, the commerce of the Tang Dynasty would be more prosperous.

Xu Qilin stopped his pen, exhaled lightly, and turned his somewhat sore wrist to rest for a while.

A scent of after-bath wafted in, and Scarlett walked over, poured out the remaining tea from the tea bowl, and refilled the hot tea.

In fact, she had been watching from the side, but she was afraid of disturbing Xu Qilin, so she patiently waited for him to stop writing and rest.

"When I'm sleepy, I'll go to sleep, and I'll check again and rest." Xu Qilin took a sip of hot tea and reached out to rub his eyes.

Scarlett didn't respond, stepped forward to massage Xu Qilin's head, neck and shoulders, and when he let out a comfortable hum, she said softly: "Ah Lang, the little beggar who followed the carriage ......"

Xu Qilin let out a "hmm", leaned back in the chair and said lazily: "Didn't you lead her into the house, give her food, bathe her, and change her clothes, so that she can sleep well and leave tomorrow?" ”

"yes!" Scarlett said: "The slave family saw her pitiful, so they boldly brought her in. Just now, I gave her some money to spend when she left. But she didn't accept anything, and was willing to be a slave and a maid; If she didn't want her, she would leave tomorrow morning, and she wouldn't dare to ask for this money. ”

Xu Qilin didn't respond immediately, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Jiali, if you want to keep her, try it first." If there's any problem, or if you don't think it's appropriate, just send her away. ”

"Well, the slave family wants to keep her and try." Scarlett nodded affirmatively and said, "Look at her eyes, she should be smart." ”

Xu Qilin nodded slightly, the little beggar followed Scarlett's carriage to the gate of the mansion like a sticky cake, and was found by Scarlett and led into the mansion, which really didn't seem like a fool's behavior.

Isn't it cost-effective to get a girl ring without spending money, just to provide food?

"If you look at it, take care of it first, observe more, and look second, mainly quality and temperament. In the future, it is also up to you to stay. Xu Qilin said: "But tell her that you are not allowed to enter here." ”

"The slave family understands, thank you Ah Lang." Scarlett was overjoyed, and her hands were massaged harder and harder.

……………

After three days of presentations, the pre-sale of the homes has finally begun.

Although he was very confident, Xu Qilin was still a little apprehensive. What if there are few buyers; What if something happens? What if someone is in tandem and no one bids, forcing yourself to sell at a lower price?

But his worries proved to be unfounded, and in the face of tight listings, buyers came to pay for bookings far more than pre-sold homes.

In less than two hours, all 50 houses listed for pre-sale were sold. Bidding for 14 of the buildings built under the Didian model was particularly fierce, with the final price exceeding the reserve price by 30%. Obviously, Xu Qilin is not the only one who is optimistic about this operation.

Even for ordinary commercial buildings, the price sold is above the reserve price. Especially the larger area is even more sought-after.

Xu Qilin estimates that these originally planned shops are likely to be converted into mansions, after all, he is only selling houses, and it is impossible to stipulate their use. The land belt houses were sold to others, and he couldn't manage it if it was demolished and rebuilt.

The businessman is really shrewd, and this little loophole can be quickly seized. It seems that in this business wisdom, what they are lacking is only the limitations of vision and thinking.

During the entire pre-sale bidding process, Xu Qilin did not appear, and accompanied several officials from the Du branch and the inner government to watch.

According to Xu Qilin's guess, His Majesty Li Er sent people to learn advanced money-making postures, but he has not yet made a final decision on whether these properties will be handed over to the Du branch or the inner government.

Handed over to the degree branch, the profits will of course be collected into the treasury; If it is taken care of by the inner government, it will be His Majesty Li Er's private money and small treasury! If you spend it like this, there will be less noise from Uncle Wei and others, right?

Cut, good don't learn, this mind comes quickly.

Xu Qilin slandered in his heart, but this is his business. His Majesty Li Er is still a face-saving person, what does it matter if he spends the treasury on a faint stall?

It's fast, and it's not perfect. After all, it was the first time for Tang Yiyi and others to host this kind of activity, and after rehearsal in advance, they could not reach the level of professional auctioneers.
