In all areas of the capital, the closer to the city gate, the cheaper the room, the more business will be relatively deserted, and it will not sell at a good price.

Of course, the quality of the goods will also vary, after all, you get what you pay for.

After Song Yao took Red Sleeves and Qingshan to walk two more streets, she went to Yaxing, which specializes in land protection business, and asked if there was a shop for sale.

can buy a shop by herself to do business, Song Yao is naturally reluctant to lease it.

Not to mention that the lease may be terminated at any time, that is, the annual rent is wasted, and the price may be increased by the landlord when the business is good.

Of course, the noodle restaurant that Song Yao originally opened was burned down, and she didn't forget the series of troubles she faced.

How many of the people who can have shops in the capital are masters who don't have any power? These people want to blackmail, unless Song Yao uses means, they will only be slaughtered.

But doing business is to pay attention to harmony and make money, Song Yao is not short of money now, so she naturally doesn't want to bother about this kind of thing.

"Madame wants to buy a shop, but there is one on each of these two streets, that is, the shop is not big, but the price is not cheap, which is why it can be sold here by me." It's not that he doesn't know how to do business, but he knows the way of the long stream, and he doesn't do the things that expire at both ends.

Song Yao will come here, so naturally she has inquired about it, she doesn't want to spend money in vain.

"How much does it cost? How big is the shop, but is there room for negotiation? Song Yao mainly asked about the price, as for which two shops they were, she already knew in her heart, and she had seen it when she was shopping just now.

Di Bao opened the booklet, flipped to the location of the two shops, and reported: "The shop in Xiliu Hutong is relatively small, half the size of my hall, but it is a two-story building, which was renovated only two years ago, and the seller has paid me a price of 30,000 taels." It stands to reason that this price is not expensive, but if you want to do business, the restaurant is too small, and the grocery store is useless to the second floor, so it is not sold, and the price is not reduced much. ”

"This shop in Xiyang Hutong is twice as big as my shop, and it's a three-story building that was renovated ten years ago. It's just that this shop is too big, and it is a loss to open a big restaurant in that area, and it is not suitable for other transactions, and the price of 100,000 taels of silver has stuck many people. ”

When Song Yao saw the two shops, she already had a plan in her heart, and she had a plan.

"If the owners of these two families can lower the price by 10%, I will buy it, and I can go to the yamen tomorrow to handle the transfer of the land deed." Song Yao said without hesitation.

Di Bao was stunned for a moment, this time the transaction of more than 100,000 taels of silver was not a small amount, and it was still a medium place in these two lots.

Just looking at Song Yao's expression, she knew that she had already made a decision, so she didn't persuade anything, but nodded and said, "I will talk to the owner, but this price reduction is one percent, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult." ”

The 30,000 taels of silver shop, the location is really not expensive.

But the shop of 100,000 taels of silver, this is to discount 10,000 taels, which is a bit too much.

"Then I have the idea of Lao Wangdi's premium, and I am not a fan of these two shops." Song Yao smiled faintly and asked again: "I'm more interested in these shops with mansions, if Wang Dibao has a good one in hand, he can also introduce a few." ”

"This is self-contained, I don't know what Song Niangzi wants?" Wang Dibao saw that Song Yao was a big customer, and he was a little more enthusiastic.

"Regardless of size, of course the location is better, and remote places can also be considered if the price is low." After Song Yao finished speaking, he said: "By the way, there are also Liangtian and Zhuangzi, as long as there are suitable ones, it is best to be close to each other." ”

Wang Dibao hurriedly got up and said, "Please wait for a while, Madame, I'll go and get the booklet, and let Madame choose." ”

Song Yao nodded and beckoned Red Sleeves to sit down and drink a cup of tea to rest.

Although Song Yao was not born as a peasant girl, after coming to this world, she deeply understood the importance of industry.

Although the business makes money, the fields and farms that may produce grain are the foundation, and even in a disaster year, there is no fear of starvation.

Especially in this era, the productivity is low, and there are more fertile fields in the heart.

This is also the reason why Song Yao has never passed by a place, and will buy a lot of land and Zhuangzi.

It's shops and houses, and you can only start when you meet the right one.

Soon Wang Dibao came back with a stack of booklets and introduced Song Yao to a lot of shops with houses, as well as a lot of land and villages.

It's just that there is not much contiguous land, and Zhuangzi is also a little remote, both large and small.

Today, just going out for a walk, Song Yao would not bring too much silver with him, so he kept more than 100,000 taels of silver as a deposit, and settled on several pieces of land and Zhuangzi near the capital.

It's nothing if it's remote, Song Yao wants to be able to produce food, and she won't settle down.

As for the shops, Song Yao also took a fancy to a few, and there were more than a dozen shops with houses on a remote street that they wanted to sell, and Song Yao wanted them.

With such a big customer, Wang Dibao naturally promised to keep them for Song Yao.

However, Song Yao chose too many and scattered, it is impossible to see it today, these handovers will take a few days to arrange, and when the time comes, it will naturally be for Qingshan to come forward.

"Looking at Madame's generosity, the next person has a suggestion, if Madame thinks it is unreasonable, the villain has not said it."

Wang Dibao took out a booklet from the bottom and opened the last two pages:

"This is a piece of land in the northern city district, between where the people live and where the royal guards train. However, no one has built anything here at present, and some people have asked about the price over the years, but they think it is too high, so they do not buy it. I think Madame is a successful person, I don't know if it may have fallen into Madame's eyes? ”

Although Song Yao hadn't been there, she also knew what Wang Dibao was talking about, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"How much land is for sale here? But where is the imperial court? Song Yao asked.

If it weren't for the official sale, Song Yao really didn't dare to buy it, for fear of getting into trouble.

"It was sold by the government, but there were too many benefits from the government, so no one bought it. The price is the same as that of fertile land, twenty-five taels of silver per acre of land. Wang Dibao smiled helplessly: "The government has put down its words, if anyone can sell this piece of land, one acre of land will give one or two silver." This area is nearly a thousand hectares, which is a big benefit. If Mrs. can take a fancy to it, I don't want any money for this benefit, I just want to be able to show my face on the official's side, and I will have my own benefits in the future. ”

"The share that Wang Dibao deserves, I must also have an explanation with the above, I can't let Wang Dibao suffer." Song Yao pondered for a moment, tapped his fingertips on the table and said, "Such a large sum of silver, I also want to prepare, tomorrow my people will come over, and they will give Wang Di a letter of approval." ”

Song Yao is most interested in this land, as long as it is planned properly, it will be her biggest foundation in the capital.

Guarding the barracks is a taboo in the eyes of others, and the vicinity of the slums makes many people feel that they can't make money.

But in Song Yao's opinion, there is no unprofitable business in the world, and this army is her way to make money, and it is a key point for her to build her power in the capital.

But Song Yao was also telling the truth, she really needed time to raise such a large sum of silver.

One hectare of land is fifteen acres, and the official price of first-class fertile land in the capital is twenty-five taels of silver, but a good lot on the market costs dozens of taels of silver per acre, and it is not easy to buy a large area.

This nearly 1,000 hectares of land is nearly 400,000 taels of silver, not counting the silver for handling the land deed, the need to open up the relationship, and the subsequent construction of the commercial kingdom.

Of course, Song Yao didn't have no money in her hand, but she had already bought so many things before, and if she showed that she had plenty of money now, she was afraid that she would get into trouble.

"If Madame really makes a decision, the villain will go and deal with it, and he will never miss Madame's business." Wang Dibao said excitedly.

As long as this business is completed, it is not impossible for him to go to the official to do things, but even if he does not go to the official at that time, this reputation will be outside, and the business will only be more prosperous.

And Wang Dibao's experience over the years told her that Song Yao was definitely his big customer, and there would be another transaction in the future.

Song Yao nodded, and left with Qingshan and the others.

After returning home, Song Yao asked the red sleeves to check the existing silver tickets in their hands.

When she came to the capital this time, Song Yao did bring a lot of silver, just in case, and she had already planned to buy an industry.

But today's property set in Wang Dibao requires the cost of several million and twenty thousand silver, which makes Song Yao's hands tight.

Whoever has nothing to do with going out will not go out with boxes and boxes with silver tickets.

"Madam, there are a total of three million taels of silver bills that can be called on the account." But the man replied.

"Madame's property in Wang Dibao's favor, the slave and maid roughly calculated, not counting the tax silver required for the title deed, it is about three million taels." Red Sleeves fiddled with the abacus, and quickly said: "In addition to the benefits for Wang Dibao, you still need to prepare one million taels of silver to be sufficient." ”

Song Yao nodded, what Red Sleeves said was only what it would cost to take these industries, not anything else.

Thinking that there were several boxes of silver tickets at home in Hongyuan County, and the small warehouse in Yunzhou City was full of gold, silver and jewelry, but he was so poor that he was about to rob it, Song Yao felt like he wanted to vomit blood.

At this moment, Song Yao misses the days when she could use bank cards or checks, where can she use such trouble.

When I went out, I didn't have enough silver tickets, and when I set off, I felt that the silver could not be spent, not to mention the dividends from the restaurant.

How could you have imagined that you would be in a dilemma at this moment.

If she pawned those objects, Song Yao felt that it was not suitable, and she was not willing to take advantage of the pawnshop in vain.

Giving up some of the places she likes, Song Yao was a little reluctant, the shops in the capital are not available at any time, maybe they will become someone else's if they are two days late.

But after all, this is the capital, and it is impossible to rob the rich and help the poor, and Song Yao can't afford to play at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

"Ke Ren, you two will go to the restaurant tomorrow, and let the steward send the dividends that have not been settled before to me tomorrow." After Song Yao finished speaking, he said to the red sleeves: "Tomorrow, you and Qingshan will go to Wang Dibao and buy that wasteland first." By the way, take a look at the shops that have been set up today, and try to delay it for a few days. ”

The three girls took the order, Song Yao asked Kexin to find Qingshan, and instructed him: "Qingshan, you immediately set off to the nearby Fucheng, settle the dividends of a few restaurants, and count as many dividends as you can get back, and be sure to return to Beijing within three days to explain to me." ”

The situation is urgent, and Song Yao is afraid that Qinghai will not be able to do it alone, after all, there are many neighboring prefectures in the capital, and it takes time to calculate the accounts.

"You and Hong Qi and they say, everyone should go to a separate place, I will use the silver in a hurry." Song Yao rubbed his brain and said.

Song Yao didn't want to ask Helian Sheng for help, so as not to increase the risk of exposure.

But the income of the greenhouse this season is too small, so Song Yao can't count on it, so she can only rely on the restaurant to raise silver.
