Chapter 261: It's hard to tell the truth from the fake
Seeing that Ye Jianting was so nervous, Lin Dongsuo's surname directly quoted his psychological price.
"Shopkeeper Ye, I found someone to estimate the Changfeng Inn, which is worth about three thousand five hundred taels of silver, judging from the previous business of the Changfeng Inn, aside from various expenses, the monthly income is almost twenty silver. In addition, the benefits that Fenglin Restaurant brought to Changfeng Inn this time...... Six thousand taels of silver, what does Shopkeeper Ye think? ”
"Six thousand taels?" Ye Jianting stared at Lin Dong with wide eyes.
"Shopkeeper Ye is too low?" Lin Dong frowned and said, "No matter how you calculate it, this price is reasonable enough, right?" Even the benefits that Fenglin Restaurant has given you have been counted. ”
"No, isn't it ......" Ye Jianting waved his hand again and again, hesitated for a moment, and asked carefully: "Does Shopkeeper Lin really want to buy our Changfeng Inn?" ”
"It's not really to buy Changfeng Inn, is it difficult or bullying, forcing Shopkeeper Ye to give me Changfeng Inn?" Lin Dong said with a smile.
Ye Jianting breathed a sigh of relief, this shopkeeper Lin was really as good as the rumors.
After struggling for a moment, Ye Jianting gritted his teeth and said, "Shopkeeper Lin, I am willing to sell you three thousand taels of silver from Changfeng Inn." ”
"Sell me three thousand taels of silver?" Lin Dong looked puzzled.
Ye Jianting nodded heavily, and said truthfully: "Fenglin Restaurant has explained that if Lin Ji Inn sends someone to buy Changfeng Inn, it can be sold, but the price cannot be less than three thousand taels of silver." The price they gave to the Changfeng Inn was also six thousand taels of silver, and they were willing to compensate for all the missing parts. ”
"Shopkeeper, Fenglin Restaurant, it seems that we are afraid that we will be reluctant to give too much silver and help us reduce the price!" Ma Chun smiled and said: "Calculate it, if the price is about the same, a family will have at least three thousand taels of silver, and we will have to fill in twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver for this hole alone." ”
"If it's three thousand taels of silver, we can earn it back by selling the land, and Fenglin Restaurant will get nothing." Lin Dong smiled leisurely, Ling Zhengyang probably can't count anything, in order to solve the problems of the guests, and in order to have no worries, all the inns in Autumn Wind City, no matter how high the price is, he must buy them.
But he didn't think that in order to reduce the cash of Lin Ji Inn, Fenglin Restaurant was afraid that Lin Ji Inn would be reluctant to give up the silver, so he was willing to secretly help out some of the silver.
Ling Zhengyang, this time he has lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot.
In this way, although he was suppressed by 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver, Fenglin Restaurant also had to reduce 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver, and this silver was still used to make money.
Someone paid the money on his behalf, Lin Dong naturally would not refuse, and immediately got up and arched his hand: "Shopkeeper Ye, I will come over tomorrow to pick up Shopkeeper Ye to handle the transfer documents?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, how can you bother Shopkeeper Lin." Ye Jianting hurriedly shook his hand and explained: "Shopkeeper Lin has set a time, and I will definitely wait for you at the mansion tomorrow." ”
"Then there is the shopkeeper of Lao Ye." Lin Dong didn't force it, so many inns, if you want to rush to the government at the same time to take people to the government, you have to send out a lot of guys at the same time.
"That, that......" Ye Jianting wanted to speak and stopped, for Lin Dong, he didn't want to give an eviction order. How to say it, the shopkeeper Lin in front of him is also the pride of the inn industry, plus the Lin Ji Inn can obviously buy or ignore the previous inns in the north of the city at a low price, but Lin Ji Inn not only spent money to buy these inns with dismal business, but the price is not low. It can be said that the shopkeepers of various inns have always admired this shopkeeper Lin.
But the more the shopkeeper stayed in the inn, the more panicked he became.
"Shopkeeper Ye, there are two more small things, I hope you can help." Lin Dong said with a smile.
"You say what you say, ......" Ye Jianting was worried again, two things, a lot. Shopkeeper Lin thinks it's a trivial matter, but he doesn't necessarily think it's a trivial matter.
"First, I hope that Shopkeeper Ye will go to Fenglin Restaurant to compensate after we complete the transaction." Lin Dong explained: "I don't want an unexpected accident, if the shopkeeper Ye is afraid that Fenglin Restaurant will not compensate afterwards, six thousand taels of silver, our Lin Ji Inn will not be less than a penny." ”
The apprehension in Ye Jianting's heart was half soothed, this first thing was a trivial matter for Shopkeeper Lin, and it was also a trivial matter for himself. The reputation of Lin Kee Inn and Fenglin Restaurant is well-known, and the promised things will definitely not go back on their word for a few thousand taels of silver.
"Second, our Lin Kee Inn has limited manpower, and it is not enough to attract guests from the eastern, southern, and western parts of the city." Lin Dong explained: "After buying the Changfeng Inn, I hope that Shopkeeper Ye can help operate it for a while. All the business income belongs to the shopkeeper Ye, in addition, our inn will add some wages to the shopkeeper Ye and the guys as appropriate. ”
Ye Jianting was overjoyed, this is not a small matter, but it is a great thing, how can there be a reason to refuse. Even if there is no compensation, the income of more than 20 taels of silver per month is not small.
Seeing Ye Jianting's expression, Lin Dong knew that he had agreed, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. This first inn went surprisingly well.
"Since that's the case, then I won't bother Shopkeeper Ye." Lin Dong got up and said goodbye.
Ye Jianting hurriedly sent him off, until the carriage disappeared at the end of the street, and then he turned his head happily.
There are only two inns in the west of the city, and when I arrived, the bright moon was already hanging overhead.
Like the Changfeng Inn, the situation at the other Wencheng Inn was similar, and the guys were all waiting eagerly for the guests who had been brought in from the north of the city. The ending is not much different, the shopkeeper of Wencheng Inn is slightly bolder than Ye Jianting, and for the sake of convenience, he did not take the initiative to reduce the price like Ye Jianting, but Ma Chun muttered from the side and immediately agreed.
This was followed by three inns in the south of the city, three inns in the east of the city, and one inn in the city. Everything went very well, and by the time the carriage came out of the last inn and arrived at the palace, it was already dark.
didn't wait long, the shopkeepers of the nine inns arrived at the government office one after another, and the transfer documents were quickly completed.
Nine inns are in hand, and all of them continue to operate, if no one deliberately makes trouble, Lin Kee Inn will no longer have any worries. Even if someone wants to make trouble and buy land to build an inn, it will take a few months, and after a few months...... Lin Dong had already freed up his hands to improve the inn's attractiveness to guests. Fair competition, absolutely no one is afraid. Unfair competition, let alone fear of anyone.
Jumping into the carriage, Lin Dong lowered the curtain, although he ran all night, he was still in good spirits.
"With all the worries gone, what should I do next?"
Ma Chun was stunned, then grinned, and said in high spirits: "Next, you can concentrate your energy and make Fenglin Restaurant and Ling Zhengyang sleep!" ”
Lin Dong said leisurely: "This is a good idea, in terms of third- and fourth-order spiritual materials and spirit beasts, you can go to Guhuan Sect and Wanjiazhuang again later, it is best to prepare them within two or three days, and you must also pay close attention to publicity, and you must prepare as soon as possible." ”
"Plenty of time, no problem!"
Ma Chun raised his long whip, and the carriage moved slowly.
Back on Shibei Street, the inn had already opened for business, Lin Dong went straight to the second floor, and stood guard again in the corner.
Everything is in order, Lin Ji Inn has news of the Chamber of Commerce, and the news of major changes in the Chamber of Commerce has spread all over Autumn Wind City. In the morning alone, the twenty-five dining tables on the second floor of the inn have all been turned on for comfort bonuses, and the ten private rooms on the third floor, for the first time in history, have three super large tables come to the door in the morning.
In the afternoon, Lin Dong made persistent efforts and posted another message on the consultation board.
In the early morning of the dynasty, Emperor Qianwei again mentioned the matter of abolishing the Supervision Yuan, and when the ministers objected, Emperor Qianwei took out the recital sent by the county guard of Qian Feng County, the content of which was also similar to that of the imperial history Liang Qingyang, and the same complained bitterly about the shortcomings of the Supervision Yuan. In particular, the harm caused by the Supervision Yuan to the DPRK is emphatically mentioned, and if it continues for a long time, within 30 or 50 years, the living space of small businesses in various cities will be suppressed to a very small extent, and in the event of a natural disaster, the first to bear the brunt will be the people in various localities, and the small merchants in various cities will also be dissatisfied.
Although there are some loopholes, Lin Dong has blurred all the loopholes, and although he doesn't understand political affairs, he still has some advanced ideas. Therefore, the whole news seems reasonable, it may be difficult to fool those court officials who are rolling in the officialdom, but it is easy and simple to fool some big families.
The people who suspected Lin Kee Inn of fabricating false news were almost extinct, until the next morning, when the news of the Chamber of Commerce came out again from Fenglin Restaurant, and there was also significant progress.
The list of counties of the Supervision Yuan was all confirmed, and the Qiufeng Prefecture Supervision Yuan was set up next to the government office, and the director of the Ministry of Officials was promoted to the post of Ma Zhong, and after taking office, he could start to prepare for the establishment of the Supervision Yuan. The only thing that has not yet been determined is the official establishment time of the Chamber of Commerce, Emperor Qianwei planned to select three counties and ten prefectures as an example, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs argued endlessly, and one side was eager to implement it immediately, so that the benefits could be collected as soon as possible. One side plans to extend it until after the autumn examination, and wait for the adult princes to be sent to the local area before implementing it, so as to increase the political achievements of the princes.
It doesn't look like the news is fake.
Soon, Autumn Wind City was divided into two factions, one side thought that Lin Ji Inn was right, the reason was that no matter how bold Lin Ji Inn was, it would not dare to fabricate the imperial court policy. This is a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the family, although the shopkeeper of Lin Ji Inn has a friendship with his acquaintance Li Jiancheng, it is difficult to resist such a big crime, no one will be stupid to this extent.
Moreover, all inferences are reasonable, and there is no mistake or omission, no matter how mediocre Emperor Qianwei is, he should not accompany the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to joke about Sheji. After all, the Great Han Kingdom belongs to the Liu family, and it is just a matter of giving a small favor to consolidate its position, and no matter how it is, he will not use his family business to please the minister.
Again, the news of the Chamber of Commerce of Fenglin Restaurant was tepid, and after the Lin Ji Inn was launched, a big one immediately followed, and no matter how you look at it, there is a suspicion of fabrication. In comparison, Fenglin Restaurant has a lot of money, and it must have a deep relationship with the court officials, and it can be completely covered up by fabricating court policies.
Similarly, there are many people who think that Fenglin Restaurant is correct, and most of these people are people who are more familiar with political affairs.
In their view, the Chamber of Commerce and the Supervisory Yuan are already imperative, the interests have been distributed, and it is absolutely impossible for anyone to dare to jump out and oppose it. Not to mention a royal history, even if it is a prince, I am afraid that he will have to fall into a place of no return. The news of the Lin Ji Inn does make some sense, but Emperor Qianwei is not stupid, he should understand that even if he wants to turn back now, it will only plunge the imperial court into greater turmoil.
In the Maple Forest Restaurant, Ling Zhengyang is sitting leisurely in the shade of the trees in the backyard. He believed that as soon as this announcement came out, although the urgent surname was not as good as the news of the Chamber of Commerce of Lin Ji Inn, the strength and financial advantages of Fenglin Restaurant were obvious, and it could completely defeat Lin Ji Inn.
Two more months is enough to return to Beijing.
At the entrance of the courtyard, Jiang Youcai ran in in a panic.
