The spring equinox has passed, and the mountains are getting greener and greener, and with the sun shining, this day is really too good to be true.

A group of three carriages, surrounded by more than a dozen guards with tall chests and protruding bellies, went straight out of the Luoyang City Gate and headed for the Mengjin White Crane Wharf.

"Compared to riding a horse, it's still comfortable to sit in a car, Ye Gongzi, you are not tossing my old bones this time", Li Xiancheng relayed Ye Sheng's reply, and agreed to introduce Fan Zhongyan Dulahe's main purpose of this trip has been achieved, and today's mood is as good as this weather, after jokingly saying a word, Du Lahe said: "Ye Gongzi, if you want me to say, you don't need to see this wharf, since you want to build the road, I don't have a reason not to support it, how much do you want, brother, I have no two words."

Ye Shengcai didn't believe that Du Lahe really had no interest in the dock at all. As an old businessman, it is impossible for him not to see the value of this wharf, so he is selling friendship! Now that he has the dock, he still has to make himself owe him a favor, this old fox really has a lot of thought everywhere.

"Friendship is friendship, business is business. The relationship between public and private can last for a long time, brother, if you are really not interested in this wharf, then brother, I can't ask for a penny, after all, building roads is the official business of the imperial court and state government, how can brothers let you spend your own unjust money for official business", Ye Sheng laughed, "Let's take a look at the goods first."

Zhou Jun, who was also sitting in Dulahe's car, looked at Dulahe, then at Ye Sheng, smiled and didn't say anything.

The river breeze was blowing, and Ye Sheng accompanied Zhou Jun, Du Lahe and Li Xiancheng to the dock.

After carefully looking at the Mengjin White Crane, Zhang Liang looked at Ye Sheng, who was speechless, and exclaimed: "Sure enough, it is a natural good deep-water wharf, and the terrain is also good, so release the boat and go down the wind and water It won't take long to go straight to Ningxia", after speaking. He paused for a moment and said: "If there was this wharf earlier, it would have been much more convenient to buy tung oil last year, and the price alone would have been able to reduce at least 10% of the freight."

"What Brother Zhang said is very true, but Shannan Dongdao is not only producing tung oil, but also rich in lacquerware and silk satin, which are all large quantities of ocean trade", it was Zhou Jun who took over Li County's words. "Since you can eat food directly in the production area, why let the forwarder take advantage of it, these people are not good-looking!"

Since he hit the dock, Ye Sheng didn't say a word about the benefits of this dock except for introducing the terrain.

Since you have something good in your hand, it has to be worth the price of a good thing! Furthermore, it is clearly a win-win deal, and it is only good for Durah. Then Ye Sheng didn't think about leaving him another chance to sell his friendship, otherwise, he would really be sorry for the good dock that God gave to Luoyang.

Du Lahe, who didn't say a word at the same time, looked at it more carefully than anyone else, and in the end, he couldn't resist Ye Sheng, and finally turned sideways and laughed: "Good dock." Ye Gongzi, this is indeed a good product."

Hearing this, Ye Sheng smiled, "Brother has good eyesight!" ”。

"I remember that Ye Gongzi built the road for Fan Xianggong, right?" At this point, Du Lahe suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the river beach not far from the wharf and said: "Si Tian Cao is in charge of the acres, the old brother wants to buy that river beach land, Brother Ye, you have to help."

"Jiang is still spicy", without waiting for Ye Sheng to answer, Zhou Jun on the side interjected with a smile, "I just wanted to say this."

Today I mainly came to see the dock, and now I don't have a word about the dock. The two giant businessmen suddenly pointed to the river beach and said something, and they were still so interested, Li Xiancheng, who was accompanying him, heard the words and looked sideways at Ye Sheng.

"I'm afraid this will disappoint the two of you", Ye Sheng looked at the river beach and said with a smile: "That river beach already has the owner."

"Oh?" Du Lahe was stunned when he heard this, now that the dock is so depressed, he really didn't expect that someone would buy that piece of river beach land full of stones and sand. After a little groaning. He smiled and said, "If you buy it, you can sell it again, Brother Tang." I'll entrust you with this matter, brother, and I'll ask for all thirty acres of one acre."

Thirty times! Hearing this price, Li Xiancheng chuckled in his heart, when Ye Gongzi bought this land, he ate four acres of land, more than four hundred acres, doesn't this mean that at the moment, as long as he changes hands, he can make a net profit of nearly 10,000 yuan! For 10,000 yuan, you can buy seven or eight hundred acres of good paddy fields. Thinking of this, and then thinking about that piece of river beach land that has been barren for decades, no one asks, and Li Xiancheng doesn't know what to say.

Damn, why didn't I think about buying this piece of land sooner?

To Li Xiancheng's surprise, after Ye Sheng heard this number, his face did not change at all, and he shook his head directly.

"Fifty runs?".

Fifty times, what is the price! Seeing Ye Sheng shaking his head again, Li Xiancheng was really a little anxious, but this was Ye Sheng's land after all, and he couldn't help it if he was in a hurry.

Seeing that Ye Sheng was still shaking his head, the smile on Du Lahe's face was a little reluctant, so that someone would buy the river beach land that couldn't produce anything? Even if someone buys it, it is only six or seven guan an acre at most, Ye Sheng, Ye Sheng, I offer a price of fifty guan per mu, you just come forward to help buy it and then change hands, one mu can make a net profit of more than forty guan, this land is no less than four hundred and fifty mu, this is nearly 20,000 yuan of net profit, enough to thank you for your help yesterday, this is not satisfied?

"Oh! It's not okay, Brother Tang has a big mind", after a moment of silence, Du Lahe looked at the river beach again and gritted his teeth and said, "Sixty times."

Hearing this number, Li Xiancheng was completely speechless, and in the blink of an eye, the value of more than 400 acres of land had risen fifteen times, fifteen times!

Then, he suddenly remembered Ye Sheng's words that day, "No matter what price this land rises to in the future, I will sell you ten acres at the original price", at this time, after recalling the words he listened to as a joke that day, Li Xiancheng's whole person trembled.

No one has asked about that land for decades since it was opened, how did Ye Gongzi know that it would increase in price? Could it be that he knew that Henan Road would build roads at that time? No, at that time, Fan Xianggong hadn't come to Luo *** at all, and Ye Gongzi couldn't know about it at all. Besides, even if he knew, how could he be sure that Luoyang would also build roads?

After thinking a lot in his heart, Li Xiancheng suddenly remembered that Ye Sheng had promised to buy him ten acres of land at the original price, at the current price, ten acres is six hundred guan, and six hundred guan is the sum of his income in the past fifteen years, with these six hundred. He can replace a large house, and he can ......

Thinking of this, Li Xiancheng's distracting thoughts about Ye Sheng just now were gone, and he was only hoping that Lord Jusi would never shake his head again.

It's a pity that Ye Sheng couldn't feel this strong desire. He shook his head anyway.

"Sixty is not enough?" , Durach smiled, "That's really no way."

It's over, Ye Sheng, you're too much! Durah had already made up his mind at this point. Later, when he returned, he immediately sent someone to inquire about the buyer of the riverbank land.

After hearing Du Lahe's complete abandonment, Li Xiancheng felt that his heart suddenly emptied, and what saved him from extreme disappointment was Zhou Jundi's words, "Since this is the case, then I will add ten more times."

"Seventy per acre", Zhang Liang, who had been smiling silently, looked at Ye Sheng and said with a slight smile: "This is a sky-high price."

"I bought this land after I came back from Yangzhou last year. The current price runs through one acre, and it has not been half a year so far. Seventy guan is already fifteen times over, it is indeed a sky-high price, too high! At this point, Ye Sheng arched his hand to Du Lahe and Zhou Jun and said with a smile: "It's not that I intend to raise the price, but I have never thought of selling it again since I bought this place that day."

"You bought it?"

"I bought it last year when I saw the refugees coming back?".

This unexpected news made the scene silent for a while. Zhou Jun and Du Lahe looked down and didn't know what they were thinking. Zhang Liang didn't ask anything. just glanced at Ye Sheng meaningfully.

Seeing this, Ye Sheng returned a smile. He knew that Li Xiancheng had figured it out, and indeed, it was because of his news that day, that he bought it when he said that he would build the road and dredge the Grand Canal.

"Good Eyes"

"Good intentions"

After the silence, Zhou Jun and Du Lahe said these two sentences with similar meanings almost at the same time.

"What a scheming eye, the two of you think too highly of me, and they were just hot-headed that day."

He said how to believe it, but they didn't say anything about it, Zhou Jun changed his tone and said: "This land can't grow crops, naturally it can't do the ancestral industry that can be passed on to future generations, then Brother Ye, you must have saved the intention of selling when you bought it that day, I am waiting here today, we are sincere buyers, Brother Tang, you simply make a price, we will not refute it."

"Brother Zhou wants to take the school exam?" , Ye Sheng smiled when he heard this, "A piece of unproductive river beach land, why is Brother Zhou willing to pay a high price of seventy yuan to buy it?" If my expectations are correct, Brother Zhou should want to build a warehouse after buying this land, right? ”。

Just looking at Zhou Jun's face, he knew that Ye Sheng guessed well.

"It's still thanks to the two of you, so that I understand that this river beach is actually a golden rooster, in this case, it's okay to sell eggs, and it's not too stupid to sell even chickens together", speaking of this, Ye Sheng smiled lightly: "But although this land is not sold, it can be divided."

"Oh, what's the division?" , Zhou Jun and Du Lahe are both engaged in bulk business, and now with the wharf, if the warehouse can be built on the adjacent river beach to form a storage capacity, then there will be a higher degree of freedom in the scheduling of food or shipments, and the wharf in the hands of the invisible hand will have greater value. This is also the fundamental reason why the two are willing to pay such a high price.

"Two plans, one is for me to build a warehouse here, and after the warehouse is completed, the two of them can pay the rent every year; Second, I used this warehouse as a part of the money to participate in the business of the two docks; Of course, if you want to do business elsewhere, you can also do it. After the road is completed and the wharf is opened, this place will be prosperous, popularity is wealth, not only warehouses, wine shops and inns are also profitable, if the two are interested in such a business, then I will go out of the land, and the two will pay for the repair of houses and buildings. The business profit is divided into five or five", after saying it in one breath, Ye Sheng smiled and said: "I don't know my plan, what do you think?" ”。

Returning to the Wanfulou Inn, when Ye Sheng walked out of the inn, he had a relaxed smile on his face.

"You, this business is really amazing", Li Xiancheng, who sent him out, pointed at Ye Sheng and nodded: "Du Lahe's decision is just that." I didn't expect that Zhou Jun would agree to let you get into his business."

"I didn't expect that he would definitely choose to pay the rent like Durach."

"Perhaps, he wants to tie you more tightly, so that his business is also your business, Ye Sheng, you have no choice but to plan for it. If you think about it carefully, this Zhou Jun is very far-reaching,

Ye Sheng, who also stopped, shook his head with a smile and said: "These two times are really to solve the troubles of the family, in fact, I am not here, this time I have a stable income from the river beach, and wait for this road to be repaired." It's time for my mind to turn to my schoolwork. The good student has prepared for the imperial examination and has a right background. In the future, it may be even more beneficial to the government."

"Oh, what do you mean by that you don't want to be a businessman anymore?"

"I do have this thought", Ye Sheng nodded, "In the past, it was a last resort, but in fact, in this world, in addition to making money, there are many things that are more worth pursuing

"It's a pity", Li Xiancheng sighed with a smile, "That's it, you have the ambition to be born on the right path, so it's not good to persuade you anymore."

Hearing this, Ye Sheng nodded with a smile, and the two of them continued to walk forward, "Brother Zhang, if you have to leave in the past two days, you can help persuade him to stay for a few more days."

Why is that? Aren't all the business done?"

"In two days, after I finish the matter of land acquisition for road construction, I intend to invite the big businessmen from all the states of the province to Luoyang for a while in the name of Du Lahe and Zhou Jun", Ye Sheng smiled, "This is a matter of pulling a tiger skin to make a big flag, as soon as Du Lahe leaves, I can't do this flag."

"Merchant Conference! Could it be to attract merchants to your riverbank? ”。

"It's not only here, the main purpose is to publicize, to promote Luoyang, to promote the dock, the more open the publicity, the more popular it is, or the old saying, popularity is wealth, speaking of which, this is also very good for Lao Du and Zhou Jun. As for attracting merchants for my river and beach, it is just piggybacking."

"Okay, you Ye Sheng, you squeezed Du Lahe and Zhou Jun really cleanly, from money to their reputation, you don't let go at all", seeing that Ye Sheng's face was a little strange, Zhang Liang sighed a little and said: "No, I can see it, since you bother to make such a big move, in addition to what you just said, there must be other ideas, let's say, what is it."

"This is something that is good for both sides, how can it be considered oppression? After all, it's such a big move, if you want to say that you want to think about it, there are naturally some of them", at this point, Ye Sheng suddenly smiled and said: "It's just that there is no clue about this matter now, Brother Zhang will forgive me for selling it."
