Chapter 60 There is gold under Huai
Seeing that he was reluctant to go back to rest, Tang Mian suddenly stretched out his hand and approached step by step.
Du Yunze quickly retreated, and hit the door directly after a few steps.
Feeling some pain in the back of his head, he hurriedly squatted down.
"Ahh Yunliu, how are you! Sorry, I didn't mean to. Tang Mian helped him with the side medicine.
The sound of slamming just now was really scary.
"It still hurts! I really didn't mean to, don't be angry with me. ”
At this moment, the two were so close that they could hear each other's breathing.
Sensing that his breathing was out of rhythm, Du Yunze hurriedly distanced himself from her, and snatched the medicinal wine in her hand.
"That owner, men and women don't kiss or not, so I'll do it myself!" After speaking, no matter what her expression was, she quickly disappeared in front of her.
"Hey! It's really strange today! How is it like a little girl's home? ”
Xiao Cui took the initiative to step forward, "Master, in my opinion, Yunliu should be shy." ”
"Oh...... Look at me, really, how did I forget about this! Tang Mian's face turned red, and he was also a little embarrassed.
Stiffened and smiled.
Soon the ship docked, and after arriving in Suzhou, they changed to a horse-drawn carriage and finally arrived at the imperial city after ten days.
Tang Mian didn't expect that the imperial city was almost the same as she remembered, and it hadn't changed at all.
Looking at the familiar streets, she remembered a lot of the past.
"Where is that?" Not long after the carriage stopped, Tang Mian saw a huge locust tree growing in an orchard, with a trunk as thick as five meters, lush branches and leaves, and all kinds of eye-catching red paper hanging on it, all written with people's wishes.
From a distance, you can see incense burning around it.
Tang Mian remembered very well that this locust tree was an iconic sacred tree in the western suburbs of the imperial city.
At that time, the original owner's family suffered a change and had no choice but to resell the orchard.
After the new owner bought the land, he listened to the words of a mage, and cut down the locust tree regardless of the wishes of many people, and then their people dug up more than ten boxes of gold, silver and jewelry from under the locust tree when they were laying the foundation.
Calculating the time, it should be at this time.
Thinking that countless people would die from this epidemic, Tang Mian was so nervous that he couldn't do it.
Hurriedly called Yunliu to help inquire about who the owner of this fruit forest is?
Although Du Yunze was a little troublesome, he couldn't understand why cotton was so nervous?
This big locust tree is a well-known sacred tree, and many people worship nearby, burn incense and pray for blessings every year.
Puzzled, he quickly asked where his master's house was.
The three of them searched.
But after knocking on the door for a long time, no one opened the door.
"A few of you want to find Granny Yu, she doesn't live here."
It was Granny Yu's next-door neighbor who was talking to them.
"This uncle, is the orchard of Granny Yu's family sold!" Tang Mian got straight to the point.
Du Yunze looked at her in surprise and didn't say much.
"That's right! Girl, Granny Yu fell and injured her leg half a year ago, and then her health was not good, and his family wanted her to enjoy her old age in peace, so she sold the orchard, and I heard that it was a sky-high price! Uncle continued.
"Do you know who this orchard is sold to? Where do you live? Tang Mian continued to ask.
The uncle thought about it carefully, "Hmm...... It seems to be an old man surnamed Ling. I don't know exactly where I live! ”
Why is the surname "Ling" again.
Sitting in the carriage again, Xiaocui finally didn't hold back, and asked why Tang Mian cared so much about the fruit forest.
Tang Mian shook his head and didn't speak.
I pondered whether to wait until the imperial city and find someone to help find the person who bought the fruit forest.
This time, she said that she couldn't let the epidemic break out and let so many people die.
Du Yunze, who was sitting outside the carriage, didn't hear Tang Mian's answer, and his doubts continued to increase.
Why did Tang Mian care so much about this orchard of Granny Yu's house?
Or is she very fond of locust trees?
"Master, there's an inn ahead, but are you sure you really want to stay here?" Cui asked.
Tang Mian nodded.
She remembered very well that there were many foreigners and beggars living on the west street of the imperial city.
But no one with a certain status will come to live here.
This also indirectly leads to the fact that the land price here is very cheap.
Now after buying it, it will take less than half a year for the national teacher to rebuild this piece of the emperor's general, and build a residence to receive foreign envoys.
At that time, the price will triple here.
She had planned before she came, and this time she came to settle accounts with Master Ling and at the same time buy this piece of house.
Raise the price as much as possible.
"Master, you're not joking, are you?" Xiaocui was very surprised, she lowered her ears, obviously not hearing clearly.
Tang Mian was so amused by her appearance that he couldn't do it.
got up and walked to the bed, turned around and told Xiaocui and Yunliu their own decision.
"You heard me right, I'm going to buy all the shops on West Street!"
Du Yunze couldn't help but widen his eyes, he knew several bosses who were suffering from the fact that the shops on this side of West Street couldn't sell anything, the business was not good and they couldn't rent out, and they had to take care of people when they opened the store, and they wished that a fool like Tang Mian would come to buy a store with them.
What the hell was Tang Mian thinking?
Is she really so much silver that she has nowhere to spend it!
"The owner, this big sister's shop is quite cheap, but you can't rent it out after you buy it, if you plan to do business, you will definitely lose money when you open a store here!" Du Yunze was afraid that she would make an irrational decision, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"Oh, Yunliu, you see I forgot, you used to be a dart master here in the Imperial City, so it's okay, you can help me go to the General Chamber of Commerce to inquire now, if any of them want to sell the shop on West Street, I will buy it." Tang Mian smiled brightly, and Du Yunze looked embarrassed.
That's not what he meant when he said it!
"Master, just listen to Brother Yunliu! This West Street is so remote, mixed with fish and dragons, those people from Fanbang don't come back to eat at the restaurant here in Tianyi, you will definitely lose money if you buy these ......"
Tang Mian interrupted Xiao Cui's words and didn't let her continue.
It's just that if you want to come to the imperial city to do business in the future, you need to get a few warehouses.
And this side is just right, close to a few main streets.
Du Yunze is not so easy to fool as Xiaocui, as long as people who come to the imperial city to do business know that the imperial city is divided into five main streets, southeast, northwest and northwest, which were built a hundred years ago by the drawings drawn by the then national teacher after calculation, which is intended to consolidate the royal country and bless the happiness and stability of the people from all sides.
Without the emperor's order, no one can easily change the number of houses.
Even the repairs of the shops in this area had to be reported to the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry sent someone to supervise it.
If it was really as simple as Tang Mian thought, and the construction of a few warehouses would have been snatched away long ago.
Taking the opportunity to go out to ask for a price, Du Yunze returned to Du's house to deal with things for a while.
When he was almost finished, his subordinates sent him quotations from several bosses in the Chamber of Commerce.
"Isn't it! This boss He, who has thirty shops, sells it so cheaply, only 30,000 taels of silver in total! Xiao Cui exclaimed, not finished yet.
Tang Mian pointed to the last Boss Sun, "This Boss Sun has ten houses, and they only sell for 50,000 taels of silver in total, this price is really cheap!" ”
Tang Mian probably estimated it in his heart, and thought that he could earn more than one million taels of silver, and he was happy in his heart.
Immediately instructed Yunliu to let him send a worship post, and Ming'er would talk to them in detail about buying shops, houses and land in the largest "White Bird Building" in the imperial city.
