Chapter 022: Developers

To put it bluntly, the Yang and Wei families relied on the geographical location advantages of their own properties to focus on the project of rebuilding the Chenghuang Temple in the west of the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Zhang Yu is a native of Weinan, and although he doesn't know much about the situation of the Wei family, he also knows a little about it. The Wei family compound is located in the northwest of Weinan, and it is also a well-known wealthy family, and the wealth of the land should be roughly similar to that of the Yang family.

Whether it is the construction of temples of folk gods such as city gods and land, or the construction of ancestral halls for the memory of heroes or celebrities of later generations, most of the projects are not large-scale unless the imperial court specially decrees for them. In order to appease the people, the imperial court usually set aside a piece of official land and allocated a small amount of silver taels to show its favor. Because it is a public welfare undertaking, the local wealthy businessmen and gentry and many ordinary people will raise funds and donate more or less. Even so, purely from an economic point of view, the benefits are very limited. How can it be said that there are huge profits?

In Zhang Yu's view, according to the net worth of Yang and Wei, it doesn't matter whether such a project is done or not. Unless it is two families fighting for face, there is no need to rush to do it solemnly.

But he knew that Yang Zhao was shrewd and capable, and Wei Bingru didn't seem to be a good stubble. They should all understand the truth that no profit can not be early. Could it be that there is something else behind it?

"Cousin, forgive me for being stupid, you might as well talk about it carefully."

Yang Zhao thought for a moment and said: "In terms of the benefits of the rebuilding project alone, to be honest, neither of us values it. It doesn't matter whether the government will allocate silver taels or not, and even the people's fund-raising donations are dispensable. ā€

"The temple site is official land, and when the two elders bought the land, they also roughly used it as a boundary. Because of this, from the time I had this idea, I knew that the Wei family would not be able to get around it no matter what, so I had to take the initiative to come to the door to discuss. Wei Bingru was so smart that he saw through my intentions at that time. ā€

Zhang Yu couldn't help but ask: "You don't care about the income of the project, listen to your meaning, and are willing to pay the cost of rebuilding out of your own pocket, is it for the sake of vindictiveness?" What the hell are you trying to do? ā€

Yang Zhao replied to the question: "It's not that you haven't been to the Chenghuang Temple in the west of the city, think about its location." ā€

"Isn't it a ruined temple next to the official road not far from the river? Is there anything else wrong with this location? ā€

Yang Zhao nodded and said, "Exactly." Not far from the river, next to the official road, the mystery lies in these two sections. ā€

"Weinan is located in Gyeonggi, which is the throat of Chang'an and the Central Plains, which has also created the wealth and prosperity of this side. However, I have already noticed that according to the current situation, the scale of the county town has become a little smaller, and all kinds of shops in the city have become crowded. ā€

"The owner of the Chenghuang Temple in the west of the city, the son of Emperor Taizu of this dynasty, was seriously injured during the battle from the dragon, and died in Weinan on the way back to Chang'an. Because it has no heirs, Emperor Taizu ordered to set up an ancestral hall on the spot to commemorate, and later Emperor Taizong posthumously named the city god of Weinan in order to let him enjoy the incense sacrifice forever. Tracing back to its roots, it is much larger than the ordinary City God Temple. Even so, I have carefully calculated that the cost of rebuilding will be at most two thousand taels. ā€

After the reconstruction, the local people come to worship, the pedestrians and business travelers stop to rest, and even the literati and scholars regard it as a scenic spot to pay their respects and visit, and there will be a steady flow of people. If you build shops on both sides of the nearby official roads, and engage in restaurants, tea shops, inns, warehouses and other businesses, as long as the price is slightly lower than the county seat, why worry about no business? In addition, the river is not far away, in addition to the convenience of water intake and drainage, you can also build a wharf, according to the specific situation of the river, purchase the corresponding boats, and engage in water transportation. Whether it is compared from the immediate or long-term benefits, what is a mere two thousand taels of silver? ā€

Zhang Yu listened attentively to Yang Zhao's words, and immediately admired it. I can't help but sigh secretly: Cow man! Yang Zhao is simply a super awesome! I greatly underestimated the ancient people's keen sense of money thousands of years ago, and their forward-looking business acumen and vision. Striving to be a contractor is just a pretense for building a nest to attract phoenixes, and the real intention of people is to be a developer!

Zhang Yu frowned and asked, "Since you already had this idea, why did you go earlier?" Wei Bingru can see through your intentions at a glance, does he have to wait for you to remind him? Why didn't she get the first shot? ā€

Yang Zhao smiled bitterly: "What was my status in the Yang family before, don't you know?" How could I be careless if this was to be fully realized, not only would it be a lot of investment, but it would also take a year to say the least? ā€

"Wei Bingru is the only daughter of the Wei family, and she only became a member of the board of directors at the beginning of the year after she reached the age of sixteen. The boundaries of the two fields are clear, and there is no contact with each other's business names. On weekdays, I only heard that she is smart, tenacious, and fierce, and acts with a bit of manliness. Maybe she thought about it a long time ago, but she didn't publicize it to the public for the time being. If you can't get around the Wei family, you can't hide it from her. ā€

Zhang Yu said sourly: "It seems that you know her quite well!" Didn't really beat her idea? I won't tell you the truth, Jiang Xian Ling won't stay in Weinan for long, not to mention that the government is just going through the motions, and whether your plan to make a fortune is successful or not has nothing to do with him. Is it necessary to solemnly ask me to find out his tone? ā€

Yang Zhao shook his head and sighed: "Over the years, I have tried to gain a firm foothold in the Yang family, patiently waiting for the opportunity, and it has not been easy, and I have seen the affairs of men and women very lightly. As long as there is an honest woman who asks for warmth and doesn't bother me, I will be satisfied. A strong and spicy woman like Wei Bingru, I'm really not interested. ā€

"It is precisely because of the rumor that the county order is about to be transferred that we are so anxious. Don't think that reporting to the government is a formality, but an essential first step. Permission must be obtained for everything to be justified and legitimate. Anyone who has gone through scientific examinations and become officials, how many stupid people will there be? Who dares to say that there is no half-penny relationship with him? Even if he neglects to observe for a while, when he goes to the nearby shops to start building, there is no reason for ignorance! If you are a person with a small amount of energy, won't there be endless troubles? ā€

"You must know that although Lord Jiang has a good official reputation, he is not a person who is honest and self-disciplined, so it is better to finish it before leaving office. As for how the new officials will deal with it when they take office, another story is a later story. ā€

Zhang Yuzhi was dizzy when he heard it, and he couldn't imagine that there was a huge article behind a small dilapidated City God Temple!

After a long silence, he muttered: "What I just said to you and Miss Wei is indeed the truth. I have only been hired for a short time, and I have yet to talk to him alone, let alone gain the trust of the couple. Let me go back and think about it, and we'll meet here in three days' time. ā€

"Oh, by the way, many of the things I have stored in your business must be kept safe. The bow and arrow of the horse entrusted to you must also be as soon as possible. As long as Young Master Jiang is served well, it is equivalent to getting Mrs. Jiang done. As long as Mrs. Jiang is done, then Lord Jiang will also have eight or nine inseparable. ā€

"That's nature. …… Cousin, did you fall in love with Miss Wei at first sight? If so, I may be able to match it for you. ā€

"Nonsense! Who doesn't like a white rich beauty like her? It's just that you don't have to bother, I want to do it myself. Hey! The beauty of the fairy is not fake, is it like a snake and scorpion, you must personally identify it to be interesting! -- It's not too early, let's go! ā€

After Zhang Yu got up and left, Yang Zhao was still a little ignorant: "Bai Fumei? Isn't Miss Wei's name Wei Bingru? ā€
