Chapter 165: Clever Actions
The late spring in Jincheng has a unique style compared with other places. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Because it is close to the Dingjiang River, the water is abundant, and the Jincheng in this season is full of peanut trees and warblers, which is a vibrant scene.
Fang Haoze sat in the carriage and looked out the window at the bustling city. He looked at the bookkeeper who was also in the car: "Has Mr. ever been to Jincheng before?"
"Been here a few times and stayed for a few years when I was younger. The bookkeeper replied respectfully, full of doubts, wondering why the inspector in front of him suddenly asked such a question.
"Oh, then I heard that Jincheng is rich, so most of the people in this city have a plain personality and value harmony?" Fang Haoze continued to ask with a light smile.
"It is true that today, although the city is in the north, it has the air of the south. The bookkeeper did not know what was going on, and continued to answer truthfully.
Immediately, he finally couldn't hold back: "Lord Fang, the people we brought from Bai Yujing are about a thousand people in total, where are you going to rent a house with these 200,000 taels?"
According to his idea, although 200,000 taels is a lot, he can't rent a good place in Jincheng. In some large mansions, the rent may only be tens of thousands of taels a year, but it is obviously not suitable for office.
Ever since he left the Seventh Prince's side, this bookkeeper had always wanted to know how this Lord Fang in front of him had turned decay into magic.
"Although 200,000 is not much, it is not small, don't worry, for the sake of the Seventh Prince, this matter will be solved soon. Fang Haoze smiled mysteriously.
"Lord Fang, with all due respect, the reputation of the Seventh Prince cannot be squandered by you. When Mr. Bookkeeper heard Fang Haoze say this, he instinctively defended his own master.
His first feeling was that Lord Fang in front of him was going to rely on the identity of the Seventh Prince, a fox and a tiger, and do tricks and robberies outside.
"Not really, you just have to take the money and look at me. ”
Fang Haoze shook his head, he hadn't thought of taking advantage of it. For him, there is nothing more important than Dingjiang to control the water now, how can he lose the bottom line for money in the Daxin world and self-destruct the Great Wall?
While he was talking, Mingyun, who was driving the car in front, parked the carriage on the side of the road.
"Get out of the car, time is tight, and there will be some talk later." Fang Haoze jumped out of the carriage briskly and said with a smile.
The bookkeeper got out of the car and saw a grand restaurant with four big characters written on the door.
As soon as he entered the door, a small servant stepped forward: "This is Lord Fang, do you want to come for a drink?" ”
This little guy naturally knows Fang Haoze, and last night, in the name of Lord Zhizhou, their host set up a banquet for the Seven Princes who had just arrived in Jincheng.
Originally, the atmosphere was also harmonious, who knew that it was the young adult in front of him, and everyone at the banquet changed color one after another in a few words. At that time, the subordinates of the whole restaurant were waiting at the scene, and they all remembered the scene at that time.
So as soon as he saw Fang Haoze come in, the little guy came up to greet him attentively. Not only that, but the little guy also quietly called his companion to inform his owner.
"If you don't eat or drink, the official is looking for your boss and has a business to discuss. Fang Haoze smiled at the little guy.
"Then please go up to the private room on the third floor, at this time it is not yet a meal, and it is quiet. The little guy smiled like a flower on his face and greeted him courteously.
Fang Haoze nodded slightly, and followed the little guy up the stairs. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he also observed the environment, the restaurant has a total of three floors, and the first floor is the largest, which is an open hall.
On the second and third floors, it is only half the size of the first floor, and it is built overhead. The restaurant is luxuriously decorated, not to mention the hall, the second and third floors of the private seats and private rooms, I am afraid that there are no less than twenty or thirty rooms. As mentioned above, this restaurant can accommodate thousands of customers during its peak period.
The little servant led Fang Haoze, Mr. Bookkeeper and Mingyun to an elegant room, poured tea and water, brought it up, and then retreated, and did not forget to gently bring it to the door.
"Fang Inspection, the villain doesn't understand, you came here with the little one, do you want to buy this restaurant and change it to an office? The 200,000 taels of silver is far from enough. The bookkeeper couldn't help but say.
"When the restaurant owner comes, you'll know. Fang Haoze didn't want to say more, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Soon, there was a knock on the door.
Immediately after, a middle-aged man with a rich body walked in. As soon as he entered the door, he was so long that his waist was about to bend to the ground: "The small shop is full of flowers, and it is really a blessing to welcome the presence of adults today." ”
This person is the owner of Juxian Restaurant, named Guan Le. This person is also a famous gentry in Jincheng, with a lot of wealth, in addition to countless land, the most important business is this Juxian Restaurant.
However, according to Fang Haoze's investigation, there is nothing behind this person, in other words, in an official-based society like Daxin World, he is a fat sheep waiting to be harvested at any time.
If it weren't for this, how could Guan Le have befriended Gan Wenyao and carefully prepared a reception banquet for the Seven Princes.
At this time, Guan Le was facing the floor, and his round face did not match his name in the slightest. He lowered his head, his brow furrowed, and his face was bitter. But when I looked up again, it was as if my face had changed, and it was all a smile.
"Boss Guan, take the liberty to bother. Fang Haoze looked at each other, his heart was like a mirror.
"Lord Fang, you are always welcome in the shop, come if you want to, you will definitely be waiting for you. Guan Le smiled very reservedly, his eyes revealing uneasiness. After seeing the scene of last night's clouds and rain, he was very afraid of Fang Haoze.
"Boss Guan doesn't have to be nervous, I came this time to have a big business to do with you. Fang Haoze waved his hand to signal the other party to sit down, and said as he spoke.
"I don't know what kind of business it is?" Guan Le made a concerned look on his face, but he couldn't help but slander in his heart: These officials are all jackals, and this time they are going to bleed heavily and give away a sum of money.
"The official wants to borrow your restaurant to live in for a few years. Fang Haoze said with a faint smile, as if he was talking about an inconspicuous trivial matter.
"What?" Guan Le was so frightened that he almost collapsed in his chair.
He only thought: "What I worried about day and night finally happened, there was no one behind me, and I could only flatter and honor the officials." If it weren't for the fact that he begged Lord Gan for a table of wine last night, how could he provoke this evil star. ”
Not to mention Guan Le, Mr. Bookskeeper, who had been in the Seven Princes' Mansion next to him, also frowned at this time and thought: "This inspector is not as old as a weak crown, and he is such a greedy person, he actually wants to lease this huge restaurant for 200,000 yuan for several years?"
"Boss Guan doesn't need to panic, I didn't borrow your restaurant for nothing, there is really a big business to do with you here. If you do it well, it will be easy for you to make a lot of money, and your children and grandchildren will be even richer and richer in the future. ”
What Fang Haoze is asking for is the merit of eternity, naturally he will not do anything to take advantage of it, he came to Guan Le this time, it is precisely because the other party has not been attached to any forces, and wants to use its power to collect money for Dingjiang and water control.
Fang Haoze is ready to use Guan Le's hand to set up a chamber of commerce to purchase materials for water control. At the same time, he also wants to transfer a certain right to operate the Dingjiang River after the flood control, and exchange the share capital for the materials and finances of the chamber of commerce.
In this way, as long as you are empty-handed, you can borrow the wealth of the people to provide financial support for the water control of the Dingjiang River.
"If you are calm, I will explain to you slowly, I am not here to take advantage of it. Fang Haoze said a little funny.
