In such a large area, where you can sell it, you can sell it.

However, Meng Qingyun's million taels of silver is still very deterrent. Although I was skeptical, the more I thought about it, the more exciting it became.

The group continued to survey, and it was almost noon that they were halfway there.

Jiang Fang said: "Find a place to eat first, and then continue in the afternoon." ”

The miscellaneous servants did the work of playing outposts for the nobles to ensure logistics, and someone had already arranged a meal, so they came to lead the way.

There are no ready-made restaurants in the North Outer City, so you can only go in the direction of the West Outer City.

Crossing the Jinshui River all the way to the south, to a downtown area, a main store called Yangjia Hotel, which is also a time-honored brand that has been operating in the capital for decades.

Someone had already opened a private room in front of me, ordered food, and prepared toiletries.

Meng Qingyun is a girl, so naturally she can't eat in the same room with such a group of five big and three rough men, so she opened another private room and took Asakusa and Bauhinia to eat together.

With Jiang Fang and Li Xiaoqi here, the officials of the Ministry of Industry are also rich.

While eating, everyone discussed how to rebuild the northern outer city, the water conservancy system had to be repaired, the houses had to be repaired, the roads had to be repaired, and the lakes had to be dug.

Gongbu Langzhong thought about it for a long time, and still asked Jiang Fang: "Dare to ask Your Highness, is what Miss Meng said a joke or is it true?" ”

Jiang Fang smiled: "What? Are you still tempted by a million taels of silver? ”

Gongbu Langzhong's face flushed: "This is for business." ”

"Who isn't doing it for business." Jiang Fang took a sip of wine.

Gongbu Langzhong saw it in his eyes, endured it, and let him go. During the period when the officials are on duty, they are not allowed to drink, but they are the kings of Qi, and they temporarily supervise government affairs, and they are not considered serious official positions, so they are not easy to manage.

Li Xiaoqi, who has always been very quiet, said: "Miss Meng's ancestor is a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan, she has been exposed to it since she was a child, and she is quite insightful in economic and commercial affairs. And we are all familiar with her as a person, not a man of his own words. ”

Jiang Fang nodded: "Everyone has seen it just now, that place, the location is excellent, the transportation is convenient, the nearby residents are either rich or expensive, and after crossing the Jinshui River, it is connected to the downtown area." Whether it is to build a house or open a shop, there are very prospects. ”

Ministry Lang Zhong said: "Since this is the case, it can't be ignored at will, so as not to sell it cheaply, I suggest that it is better to buy it." ”

Jiang Fang glanced at him: "After a while, even a million taels of silver is too little?" ”

Gongbu Langzhong's face flushed again, and he emphasized again: "This is for business." ”

Jiang Fang smiled: "Don't worry, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run." ”

And in the private room next door, Asakusa was also asking Meng Qingyun.

"Although the houses and shops in the capital are very valuable, but such a large area, how many years can it take to return to the capital, why spend such a large sum of money on this. The profit of sea trade is high, and the term is short, is it not 10,000 times better than this? ”

Meng Qingyun said: "It is precisely because of the high profits of sea trade that everyone covets it. The deadline for going to sea is only five years, and after five years, you need to re-bid for it. Last year, it was because of a surprise move that the Bai family was able to grab a place in the hands of the Hu family. ”

"But the Hu family has always been good at managing officialdom, and after this battle, they will inevitably be more carefully planned."

"This is the Bai family's weakness all along."

"The two uncles have been in business for so many years, but they have never been able to reach into Bianjing. The dignitaries and dignitaries who have the right to speak in the government are all in Bianjing, and if the Bai family can't gain a firm foothold in Bianjing, they will always be in a weak position in the game with the Hu family. ”

"The reconstruction of the North Outer City is an excellent opportunity to enter the game."

"I'm sure my uncle won't let go of this opportunity."

Asakusa came to his senses: "So, in fact, this million taels, the big head should be from the Bai family?" ”

Meng Qingyun said: "Otherwise, for such a big project, how can the light family pay for it, and the risk is too great." ”

Asakusa nodded.

They discussed, but Zijing only cared about enjoying the food, and the two cheeks were bulging: "At the moment of food, you still keep saying these cheesy words, it's really a waste." ”

Asakusa poked her finger lightly, "You'll eat it too." ”

In the afternoon, the survey had to be continued, and the master and servant also hurried to eat.

After half an hour, Li Xiaoqi came to knock on the door and asked if he had rested.

Meng Qingyun put on his hat and came out with two maidservants, and Jiang Fang and the others were already waiting on the porch outside. Everyone gathered together and prepared to go down the stairs.

It just so happened that people from another private room also poured out, and they were about to go down the stairs, and the two sides happened to face each other.

"His Royal Highness King Qi!"

Jiang Fang, Meng Qingyun and the others looked up, only to see that the other party also looked like they had just been repaired.

A Lang Jun in the middle, wearing a Hu suit that is easy to move, although he does not feel luxurious, but at first glance it is Seiko, the version and the line are very exquisite, the body is tall and well-proportioned, the face is wide and the mouth is square, the eyebrows are open, the spirit is handsome, and he has a smile without speaking.

He greeted Jiang Fang in surprise: "Erlang! ”

Jiang Fang smiled slightly: "It turned out to be you." ”

Then he first introduced to Li Xiaoqi and Meng Qingyun: "This is Liulang of Lantian Qin Wangfu, Jiang Yan." ”

It turned out that he was Jiang Yan!

Originally, half of the Chinese military in the dynasty regarded him as the heir of the official family, and during this period of time, because he proposed the wonderful method of cash-for-work, he was deeply praised by the officials and the people, and his reputation was like the sky.

Li Xiaoqi and Meng Qingyun both looked at him deeply.

Jiang Yan smiled and nodded to the two of them, which was like a spring breeze.

Because Meng Qingyun was wearing a hat, he couldn't see her appearance clearly, but Li Xiaoqi's appearance and demeanor stood out from the crowd wherever he was placed, and Jiang Yan naturally wouldn't ignore it.

"Who is this?"

Li Xiaoqi arched his hand and said: "My father is Li Mu in the imperial history." ”

Jiang Yan was pleasantly surprised: "Could it be Li Xiaoqi in person?" ”

Meng Qingyun glanced at Li Xiaoqi, it seems that the reputation of Li Jiaqilang's chic and beautiful young man has also spread in the capital.

Jiang Yan said with a smile: "Ling Zun is an upright official, he has always been admired, and the demeanor of Qilang is also unforgettable at first sight, and I am very happy to meet him today." ”

Jiang Fang was a little impatient with his polite mannerism, and asked directly, "What are you doing here?" ”

Jiang Yan hurriedly turned his attention back to him and replied, "The outer city walls on the west and north sides have been in disrepair for a long time, and they were washed out of several gaps by the flood that day, and after being soaked in water for many days, several places have collapsed, and they are now being repaired. ”

"I, along with these officials from the Ministry of Industry, are inspecting the project."

Jiang Fang said: "That's right, we're also quite busy, everyone leaves quickly after eating, everyone is busy." See you later! ”

With a wave of his hand, he grabbed Meng Qingyun and Li Xiaoqi's arms, and rushed down the stairs without even giving each other a chance to say goodbye.

Meng Qingyun glanced back.

Jiang Yan bowed his hand to her slightly, and always maintained an elegant and decent demeanor.

No wonder so many people value him, look at his bearing.

She glanced at Jiang Fang again.

is full of rivers and lakes, which looks like a prince.
