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 strong chests and protruding bellies, went straight out of the Jinzhou City Gate and headed for the Santan Yinyue Wharf.

"Compared to riding a horse, it's still comfortable to sit in a car, Tang joins the army, you don't have to toss my old bones this time", Chen Liang relayed Tang Cheng's reply, the main purpose of Du Lahe's trip has been achieved, and his mood today is as good as the weather, after jokingly saying a word, Du Lahe said: "Tang joins the army, if you want me to say, you don't need to see this wharf, since you want to build a road, I don't have a reason not to support it, I want to say a lot, brother, I have nothing to say."

Tang Chengcai didn't believe that Du Lahe was really not interested 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 brother let you spend your own unjust money for official business", Tang Cheng 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 Tang Cheng, smiled and didn't say anything.

The river breeze was blowing, and Tang Cheng accompanied Zhou Jun, Du Lahe and Zhang Liang to the dock.

After carefully reading the three pools of Yinyue, Zhang Liang looked at Tang Cheng, who was speechless, and exclaimed: "Sure enough, it is a natural good deep-water wharf, and the terrain is also good, so let the boat go, and it won't take long for it to go straight to Xiakou when it goes down the wind and water", after speaking, he stopped for a moment and said: "If there was this wharf earlier, it would be much more convenient to buy tung oil last year, and the price alone would be at least one percent of the freight."

"What Brother Zhang said is very true. However, Shannan Dongdao is not only produced 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 Zhang Liang's words, "Since you can eat food directly in the production area." And why let the forwarders take advantage of it, these people's faces are not good-looking! ”。

Since hitting the dock, Tang Cheng didn't say a word about the benefits of this dock except for introducing the terrain.

Since holding the ground in your hand is a good thing, it has to be worth the price of a good thing! Besides, this is clearly a win-win deal, and it is only good for Du Lahe, so Tang Chengcheng didn't think about leaving him another chance to sell his friendship, otherwise. I'm really sorry for this good dock given to Golden State.

In the same way, without saying a word, Du Rah looked more carefully than anyone else. Ultimately. Unable to resist Tang Chengdi, he finally turned sideways and laughed: "Good dock." Don joined the army. Indeed, it is a good thing."

Hear the words. Tang Cheng smiled. "Brother has good eyesight!".

"I remember that Tang joined the army, and your previous local office was Si Tian Cao Ju Si, right?" That's it. 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 acres of land." The old brother wanted to buy that piece of river beach land. Brother Tang, you have to help."

"Ginger is still spicy." Don't wait for Tang Cheng to answer. Zhou Jun interjected with a smile. "I was about to say this."

Today I will mainly come to see the docks. Now there is not a word about the docks. The two giants suddenly pointed to the river beach and said something. And the interest is still so strong. Feng Haizhou, who accompanied him, heard this. He looked sideways at Tang Cheng.

"I'm afraid this will disappoint the two of you." Tang Cheng looked at the river beach and said with a smile: "That river beach already has a master."

"Oh?" , Durach was stunned when he heard this. At the moment, the wharf is so depressed, he really didn't expect that someone would buy the river beach land full of stones and sand, after a little silence, he smiled and said: "If you buy it, you can sell it again, Brother Tang, I will entrust you with this matter, and I will ask for all thirty acres of one acre."

Thirty times! Hearing this price, Feng Haizhou sighed in his heart, when Tang Jusi bought this land, he ate it in four acres and one acre. More than 400 acres. Doesn't this mean that at the moment, as long as you change hands, you 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. Come to think of it. Thinking about that piece of river beach land for decades, no one asked, and Feng Haizhou didn't know what to say.

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

To Feng Haizhou's surprise, after Tang Cheng heard this number, his face didn't even change at all, and he shook his head directly.

"Fifty runs?".

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

Seeing that Tang Cheng 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, Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng, I offer a price of fifty guan an acre, you just come forward to help buy it and then change hands, one mu can net more than forty guan, this land is not 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, Feng Haizhou 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 Tang Cheng'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 that he listened to as a joke that day, Feng Haizhou's whole person trembled.

No one has asked about that land for decades since it was opened, how did Tang Jusi know that it would increase in price? Could it be that he knew that Shannan Dongdao would build roads at that time? No, at that time, Yu Yan hadn't come to Jinzhou yet, and there was no rumor at all, and it was impossible for Tang Judge to know. Besides, even if he knew, how could he be sure that Golden State would also build roads?

Then, Feng Haizhou thought of the last possibility, it was difficult to stump Tang Jusi, the errand of road construction this time, was not set up at all, but he took the initiative to dry the land?

The more you think about it, the more possible it is. The more he thought about it, the more determined he became, and Feng Haizhou's face changed a little when he looked at Tang Cheng again. From the time he bought this river beach land last year to now, what a deep pit! It's this boss, a pit that has put the entire people in the yamen in, at this time, think about Yao Yuanjun and Ma Beijia, and then think about the people who said that he was crazy after hearing that Tang Cheng took over this errand......

Lose your mind. yes, they're crazy! It's just that the crazy thing is definitely not Tang Jusi......

After thinking a lot in his heart, Feng Haizhou suddenly remembered that Tang Cheng had promised to buy him ten acres of land at the original price, at the current price, ten acres is six hundred guan, six hundred guan is the sum of his nearly fifteen years, with these six hundred, he can replace a big house, and he can ......

Come to think of it. Feng Haizhou's distracting thoughts about Tang Chengdi just now were gone, and he was only looking forward to judging Lord Si now, but he must not shake his head again.

It's a pity that Tang Cheng 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, Tang Cheng, you're too much! Durach had already made up his mind at this time, and as soon as he returned later, he would immediately send someone to inquire about the buyer of this riverbank land.

After hearing Du Lahe's complete abandonment, Feng Haizhou felt that his heart suddenly emptied, and what saved him from extreme disappointment was Zhou Jun's words, "That's the case." Then I'll add ten more times."

"Seventy runs an acre", Shicai looked at Tang Cheng with a smile all the time, and said with a slight smile: "This is a sky-high price."

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

"You bought it?"

"I bought it when I came back from Yangzhou last year?".

This unexpected news made the scene a little silent for a while, and Zhou Jun and Du Lahe didn't know what they were thinking between bowing their heads. Zhang Liang didn't ask anything, just glanced at Tang Cheng meaningfully.

Seeing this, Tang Cheng returned a smile, he knew that Zhang Liang had figured it out, and it was indeed because of his news that day, because of the Ministry of Works, Yu Dongjun, was about to serve as the observer of Shannan Dongdao. Major in the news of the official road of Fangzhou. I will buy this land decisively.

"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 visionary. The two of you looked up to me too highly, and it was just a hot head that day."

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

"Brother Zhou wants to take the school exam?" , Tang Cheng 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 Jundi's face, he knew that Tang Cheng's guess was good.

"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", speaking of this, Tang Cheng smiled lightly: "But although this land is not sold, it can be divided."

"Oh, what's the division?" , Zhou Jun and Dulach 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 whether it is food or shipment scheduling, there will be a higher degree of freedom, 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 dock business of the two of them; Of course, if the two of them want to do other business, after the road is completed and the dock is opened, this place will inevitably be prosperous, and popularity is wealth. Not only warehouses, but also wine shops and inns are also profitable, if the two of you are interested in such a business, then I will go out of the land, and the two of you will pay for the repair of houses and buildings, and the profits of the business will be divided into five or five." After finishing speaking, Tang Cheng smiled and said, "I don't know my plan, what do you two think?" ”。

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

"You, this business is really amazing", Zhang Liang, who sent him out, pointed at Tang Cheng and nodded: "Du Lahe's decision is just that, I didn't expect that Zhou Jun would agree to let you plug in his business."

"I didn't expect it, I thought he would definitely choose to pay rent like Durach."

"Maybe. He wants to tie you more tightly, so that his business is also your business, and Tang Cheng you don't have to plan for it. Thinking about it carefully, this Zhou Jun is very far-reaching", at this point, Zhang Liang suddenly stopped his steps, and a smile was also collected on his face, and he said: "Tang Cheng, come to the capital, you are indeed talented in business, and you came to the capital to take over my business." It will definitely be more helpful to the third son. Nest in this little Golden State. It's a shame."

"It's just that the blind cat bumped into the dead mouse, and when it comes to talent, it's too exalting me! Brother Zhang probably didn't expect it, just this time last year, when I just came out of home, I was still worried about the cost of eating after arriving in the county. Hey, I'm so scared! If you are poor, you can only spend more effort to figure out how to make money, and the so-called talent is just more attentive and attentive than others", Tang Cheng, who also stopped walking, 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." After borrowing the river beach to have a stable income this time, when this road is repaired, my mind should also be turned to schoolwork, and the good students will prepare for the imperial examination.

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

"I do have this thought", Tang Cheng nodded, "It was a last resort before. In fact, there are many more things worth pursuing in this world besides making money. Hehe, since I started the tung oil business last year. I really put too little effort into my schoolwork, and I'm not afraid of Brother Zhang's jokes, although I have the name of a state student, I haven't even entered the state school once, so I'm really ashamed."

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

Hearing this, Tang Cheng smiled and nodded, 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?"

"After 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 Jinzhou for a while in the name of Dulahe and Zhou Jun", Tang Cheng smiled, "This is a tiger skin to make a big banner, as soon as Dulahe 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 Jinzhou, to promote the wharf, the more open it is, the more popular it is, or the old saying, popularity is wealth, and 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 Tang Cheng, you squeezed Du Lahe and Zhou Jun really cleanly, from money to their reputation, you don't let go of anything from money to their reputation", seeing that Tang Cheng's face was a little weird, Zhang Liang said after a little groaning: "No, I can see it, since you bother to make such a big noise, in addition to what you just said, there must be other ideas, let's say, what is it."

"It's something that's good for both sides, how can it be squeezed? 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, Tang Cheng suddenly smiled and said: "It's just that this matter has no clue yet, Brother Zhang will forgive me for selling it."
