The Meng family's ruined son began to behave again, and he summoned all the bosses of all the tooth shops in Xianyang to the General's Mansion.

In the hall, the bosses of the tooth shop arrived one after another, and after waiting for about half an hour, Meng Yi was late.

If it was before, these bosses didn't bother to pay attention to him, a loser, but now, feng shui takes turns, Meng Yi is the king, and he also has an identity, that is, the richest man in Xianyang.

He has achieved this at a young age, and both politics and business are mixed smoothly, and now no one dares to underestimate him.

Seeing Meng Yi coming to the hall, all the bosses saluted one after another and said, "I've seen Meng Shangqing." ”

Meng Yi motioned for everyone to sit down and said, "Come on, serve tea to the bosses." ”

After a while, the tea was already on the list, and Meng Yiju was in the first place, and said: "Today, Young Master Ben will gather you here, presumably the house slave has already told me that I don't like to go around the bend, so let's make a price." ”

"Lord Shangqing, this is a trivial matter to buy mountains and land, we have a few barren mountains in our hands, but we really don't understand, barren mountains and mountains can't be planted and cultivated, and river water can't be introduced into the mountains for irrigation, why do you want to buy so many mountains?" A tooth shop owner asked.

What he asked also expressed the doubts in the hearts of others.

In ancient times, it was not as populated as it is now, at that time the land was vast and sparsely populated, and the cultivated land area was very small, and there were a lot of barren mountains and mountains.

Now that Meng Yi wants to buy barren mountains, they are naturally happy to enjoy it, but they want to buy all the barren mountains, which is surprising.

Meng Yi snorted and smiled, and said, "Young Master Ben naturally bought the barren mountain for a wonderful purpose, the bosses just buy it or not, why do you have such doubts?" ”

"Are all the barren mountains and mountains? You've bought them all?! ”

"Yes, I bought everything." Meng Yi said resolutely.

The bosses of the tooth shop looked at each other, only the second son of the Meng family suffered from brain disease, and he had been cured when he heard it, could it be that the brain disease had another attack this time? !

Other than that, this is the only possible explanation.

These people are businessmen, shrewd like loaches, and when someone comes to give money, they naturally will not refuse.

"Okay, Lord Shangqing insists on buying it, and I can't refute your good intentions." One of them said, "It's just that the review criteria for the sale and purchase of land deeds are strict, and although no one cares about the barren mountains and mountains, the procedure is still ......."

"Young Master Ben knows what you mean, don't worry, I will say hello to the government over there, just buy it for me."

Everyone glanced at each other and showed a sly smile, this fool wants to buy a barren mountain, and he must take this opportunity to blackmail him for a sum of money, anyway, the Meng family has money, don't want it.

"Make an offer." Meng Yi said.

"Shangqing is an important minister of the court, and he works hard for the people of Limin, so we will naturally give you a preferential price, 50,000 taels for a mountain."

There are almost twenty large and small mountains in Xianyang, and if you really buy it, it will cost almost one million, which is definitely not a small amount, and there will be many places to use money in the future.

The Meng family can afford it, but it doesn't mean that it can be wasted at will, and Meng Yi also knows that this group of people slaughters themselves as fat pigs.

It's just that if you want to kill yourself, you have to pay a lot of price.

"Fifty thousand taels?! The bosses are really joking with Master Ben. Meng Yi frowned and said, "Even if it is a fertile land outside the city, a hundred acres of fertile land is less than two thousand taels, and among the barren mountains, there are less than ten thousand acres that can be cultivated, are you treating me as a fool?" ”

There are only 20,000 taels of 10,000 acres of fertile land, and they open their mouths to 50,000 taels, what is this not a pit man?!

"Young Master Ben has brought you here, and he is full of sincerity, but what about you?! Where is the sincerity?! ”

"Lord Shangqing, this mountain forest is not comparable to farmland, there are many rare treasures in the mountains and forests, these alone are incomparable to farmland, so the price will be more expensive." Someone said.

"Yes! The treasures in the mountains and forests are innumerable. ”

If there were any treasures, would they keep them and sell them to others? I don't believe this even if I say it to the ghosts.

It's really no treacherous business.

Listening to a group of people talking nonsense, Meng Yi sneered: "Since everyone said that there are treasures in the mountains, why don't we make a note, if the treasure is dug up in the mountain, I will add 50,000 to you, if you can't dig up the treasure, how about you stick me with 50,000?!" ”

"This ......"

The people were dumbfounded, and the mountains on their hands were barren land, and where there was any treasure, except for the barren grass and the barren grass.

"We ...... See also...... No, I don't need to. This group of people immediately coaxed, if they posted 50,000 yuan upside down, it would be equivalent to giving it to Meng Yi for nothing, and they would not do it at a loss.

Meng Yi saw them admitting defeat and snorted: "What? Didn't the bosses still swear that there are treasures in the mountains, are they afraid of losing? ”

was nakedly broken by Meng Yi, and everyone blushed and embarrassed.

"Lord Shangqing, do you think this will work, a mountain is 20,000, we will sell it to you at a loss."

"Your forgetfulness is really big, Young Master Fang Cai said that there are only 20,000 acres of fertile land, do you really think I'm a bully if you are shoddy?" Meng Yi's momentum changed greatly, and if he didn't give them some color, they really wanted their tails to fly into the sky.

Meng Yi took out his official authority, but he was also a secretary, and his low voice with this group of businessmen was already enough to give them face, but they didn't accept it at all.

Everyone was also afraid, after all, Meng Yi was a celebrity in front of the First Emperor, and they didn't dare to offend.

"Fifteen thousand, no less." Someone said.

Meng Yi raised a finger and said coldly: "Ten thousand, not a penny more." ”

"Your Excellency, you are also ...... It's too low, we're going to die. ”

"Don't pretend to be pitiful with me, the original price of these barren mountains was 5,000, and now it's a lot to earn half of it, if I don't buy it, you can't even earn 5,000."

Before they came here, they had already inquired clearly, and this group of profiteers wanted to fight with them, but they were still far away.

"It's true that Young Master Ben wants to buy a mountain, but it hasn't reached the point where he has to buy it, and there are a lot of good fields for the people, so I can buy it casually." Meng Yi said, "You have to make it clear, if you buy your mountain, you can only afford to buy it, if you don't want to buy it, then please do it, so you can go." ”

As Meng Yi said, he is not begging them, on the contrary, if they don't buy it, they will lose money if they are smashed in their own hands.

Now he has earned 5,000 from his hands, which is already a lot.

Everyone looked at it and felt that it was also the same, after so many years, the barren mountain is still a barren mountain, no one cares, and finally ran into a big wrongdoer, so it's a pity to let it go.

If you wait for Meng Yi's brain disease to recover and then want to sell it, people don't have to buy it.

This kind of opportunity could not be found with lanterns, and after everyone summed it up, they said, "That...... Well, ten thousand is ten thousand. ”

"Very good, little, take the money!!"

In fact, Meng Yi's lowest price is 13,000, and now it is lower than expected, of course he will not be too cheap.

As a result, the owner of the tooth store and Meng Yi handed over the money and the land deed with one hand, and a total of 23 barren mountains were all bought by Meng Yi.

After the transaction was over, these bosses all snickered: "Meng Yi, a fool, bought a barren mountain with 10,000 taels, he is really sick." ”

"Who's to say it isn't? It's a fool to do such an idiotic thing. ”

……

For a while, the news of Meng Yi's purchase of the barren mountain soon spread all over the world, and many people laughed at Meng Yi for being a fool, saying that he had brain disease and was sick again, and so on.

However, Meng Yi also turned a deaf ear to these words, and turned a deaf ear at all.

However, Hao Jian heard that many people on the street were insulting the young master, and he stepped forward to reason with others, but he was beaten by a few thugs.

This matter also reached the ears of the First Emperor, and after the minister reported it, Ying Zhengshi learned that Meng Yi had bought all the barren mountains, and he was puzzled, and said in his heart: "What is this kid doing?" ”

In the past, the First Emperor would have thought that he was a loser, but after experiencing things again and again, he really knew Meng Yi and knew that he was not the kind of person who messed around.

If he wasn't sure, he wouldn't do it, but what did he want to do when he bought such a place?!

I'm afraid that now I don't know what he wants to do except Meng Yi himself.

The laughing stock about "Meng Yi Buy Mountain" also passed quickly, like a storm, coming and going quickly.

On this day, he was able to keep writing and painting in the study, and finally with his incomplete memory, he basically drew the drawings of the waterwheel, and after his repair, he completed the drawings of the waterwheel, and then it was the moment of practice, and the success or failure depends on the actual product.

So, Meng Yi handed over the drawings to the workshop, made a small waterwheel according to the drawings, and kept them secret from the outside world.

At the same time, Meng Yi gathered all the men and beggars in the city who had labor force and sent them to the barren mountains to cultivate the fields.

Everyone has the same money every day, and they may not earn the same money for a month, so everyone signed up one after another, and soon there was a boom in cultivating farmland.

The combination of hybrid rice and waterwheels, and the next step is to produce fertilizer, so as to make rice more productive, Meng Yi's goal is not to have ten stones of rice per acre, of course, the more the better, so that he can earn more.

A few days later, the workshop made a small waterwheel according to the waterwheel painted by Meng Yi, and after experimentation, it was found that the waterwheel was very successful, and then ordered them to make a large waterwheel and put it in the river for Yingzheng to watch you

After everything was ready, Meng Yi hurriedly entered the palace to face the saint and said, "Qing'er, prepare clothes for this young master, I want to enter the palace to meet Your Majesty." ”

After putting on the official uniform, Meng Yi rode a fast horse to the palace, hurriedly saw the saint, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has already made the waterwheel, and I am willing to ask Your Majesty to go to the river with the minister to watch." ”
