Chapter 177: Wang Meng's Genius

"There is news that the rumors of Bengong circulating in Xianyang City recently were made by Tianshui Zhou, and the purpose may be for many stores on the east street of Guogong Mansion. ”

When everyone gathered, Ying Chong spoke, and as he spoke, he glanced at everyone present with a majestic expression.

"My father's reputation is ruined, but I don't care if this reputation is more notorious. But it can be calculated and used by others, but it really makes my own public unhappy! I wonder if you can have a good plan to make your own public angry with this evil breath?"

When this sentence was spoken, almost everyone in the entire room opened their mouths slightly, full of astonishment.

Wang Meng was also puzzled, and wondered that this prince of the country had gathered many heavenly affairs with great fanfare, just for such a thing?

But then he noticed that the eyes around him were all looking at him.

Wang Meng raised his eyebrows, looked upward, and saw that Ying Chong was also looking at him with a smile. He immediately understood, knowing that this was An Guogong's examination, and it depended on his Wang Meng's quality, whether it was worth the annuity of 60,000.

With a sneer in his heart, Wang Meng was not stage frightened, stood up and said: "In my opinion, Lord Guogong may consider using the normal market price of the previous year to buy all the faΓ§ade of East Street." ”

"Why?"

Ying Chong was puzzled: "This gong has calculated, even if he wins eighty percent of the price, he won't make any money." ”

He had already thought about this method, if he could make money, he would have taken it a long time ago, and let the people of the Shui Zhou clan stare dryly that day.

But even if it's 50% of the current normal market price, it doesn't actually make much money. Ying Chong was reluctant, mainly because he took up a large amount of his funds, and it would take a long time to recover the cost.

Looking at Ying Chong's ignorant expression, Wang Meng's face was calm, and he made a celebrity demeanor, but secretly mocked: "Lord Guogong or I don't know." Three days later, the Ministry of Internal Affairs intended to sell the Wei Wangfu. ”

The so-called 'Wei Wang's Mansion' is just east of the Anguo Mansion. There is a main street separated from each other, that is, the one east of the Guogong Mansion. It covers a total area of 150 hectares. It was the residence of Prince Qin Wei more than 20 years ago.

At that time, the sons of the first emperor competed for succession, and there were a total of nineteen princes, but only a few survived in the end. After the fall of Prince Wei, his mansion has remained vacant ever since.

Ying Chong has heard about this, and it is said that this palace has recently collapsed several rooms due to disrepair. The Ministry of Internal Affairs thought that if it was repaired. It needs a lot of money, but it is uninhabited, and it is almost a haunted house, so I want to sell this land.

Although several princes in the palace are about to leave the palace, His Majesty's ability to give birth to sons is still far inferior to that of the first emperor. The territory in the possession of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is enough for them.

"I've heard a little about it, but what does this matter have to do with those stores on the main street?"

"There is a relationship, 150 hectares of land in the Weiwang Mansion are used for reconstruction, and 120 courtyards can be built from three to four entrances. Rented out for 1,500 taels of silver. Then you can get an annual income of 180,000 goldβ€”"

Before Wang Meng finished speaking, Ying Chong shook his head slightly. Those lands in the Weiwang Mansion can indeed be used for reconstruction. But the reason why this ready-made palace was not favored by those princes was not only because it was dilapidated, but also because this palace was too far away from the palace.

In fact, his Anguo Mansion is farther away from the Imperial Palace, more than 20 miles away. Coupled with the twists and turns along the way, the distance was even farther, more than fifty miles.

However, he was a super-grade prince of the dynasty, and he not only used eight dragon horse-drawn carriages. You can also directly use the royal road to the west of the Guogong Mansion, and have the right to gallop horses on the imperial road. It took less than half a moment to enter and leave the palace. For these tens of miles, it doesn't matter.

But this Wei Wangfu is used for renovation. If a courtyard house with three or four entrances is built, it can only be rented to those low-grade officials below the fifth or sixth grade. You let these people walk more than 20 miles in the morning morning, but it won't take more than half an hour?

And in addition to the court, there is also a daily office. But the six yamen of the Great Qin Dynasty and the Jiuqing were all concentrated in the east of the city.

It is convenient to get to the barracks in Xianyang from here, but it is not conducive to civilian officials. If you think about it, who would go all the way here to rent a house? There are some merchants in the city, but it is even more impossible, and the large transactions in Xianyang City are all in the west of the city. Those who are really rich don't look down on such small mansions, and those who have little money won't come.

This Guo Jia's junior brother is really too young.

But then he listened to Wang Meng again: "There is also the former Yu Zuo Deputy Capital Imperial History Mansion, since Yu Deputy Xian returned to his hometown, his mansion has been vacant for three years. Adults can also buy it, turn it into an alley, and build a bridge here. ”

Ying Chong was stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly found a map of Xianyang City from the bookshelf behind him.

After just one glance, his eyes were slightly condensed: "Qinghe!"

The Qing River is a tributary of the Qingjiang River, which runs through the east and north of the city, and also passes through the back streets of Goolan Lane. Once the Yudu Yushi Mansion is bought and opened, and then a bridge is built over the Qinghe River, then from the Wuwei Wangfu area to the palace, almost all of them go straight like the royal road, saving at least twenty miles.

And there are not many people along the way, but the horses can run without hindrance, just like the royal road. Choose a better horse and you will be able to enter the palace in a maximum of a quarter!

Another example is that on the Naqing River, a few clippers propelled by tricks and immortal methods are customized, so it will also take less than half a moment to reach the official office of the six departments and nine Qings in the east of the city from the Yudu Imperial History Mansion.

The so-called Xianyang residence is not easy, Ying Chong has been in Xianyang for many years, and he knows the dire situation of those civil officials in the east of the city. There is a real inch of land over there, and the land price is better than that in the north of the city.

It seems that such a courtyard house of 50 acres of land, let alone 1,500 taels a year, can't be rented at a price of five times the price!

And the place in the north of the city is the first place where the nobles live, and it is not **.

If he can really do this, then it will be enough to make the officials who are distressed by the mansion flock to it!

And it doesn't cost much, two abandoned houses, up to 100,000 gold. Only that store costs more, but it won't exceed 200,000.

If you have a darker heart, you can also take down some of the territory next to it. Then one hundred and seventy or eighty can be built, and it is possible to earn 300,000 gold a year.

"I see, in this way, these facades in the east of the city can be completely revitalized. ”

Wei Zheng looked at the young man beside him in surprise, feeling that this person's ability was not inferior to Guo Jia. Especially this business talent, it really makes him unreachable.

"Once these mansions are built, the area around East Street will become a real bazaar. These stores are rented out, and they can also earn a huge amount of money a year. ”

According to his rough estimates, at that time, with Anguo Mansion and Weiwang Mansion as the center, the number of people living in each family plus slaves must have exceeded 100,000!

Once a bustling bazaar is formed here, it will make the surrounding princes and palaces also choose to shop here, and they will no longer be reluctant to go far.

And those mansions and stores can at least increase Ying Chong's income from 400,000 gold to more than 600,000 gold, which can be used to raise a town's master, or four heavenly cultivators like Yun Zhenzi.

Ying Chong thought to himself, could this be the purpose of the Tianshui Zhou family, but he didn't feel like it, if the Zhou family really could come up with such a clever trick, why should they care about the capital of tens of thousands of gold?

But no matter what, he has already decided on this business! When it comes to the relationship with the Internal Affairs Bureau, there are few people in this Xianyang Mansion who can match him.

"The probationary contract can be ended, and in the future, Mr. Wang will be the housekeeper of the inner son, with an annuity of 60,000 yuan, and the deed can be signed later. ”

Ying Chong looked at Wang Meng with glowing eyes, he looked at this now, as if he was looking at a treasure, which was more valuable than that cornucopia.

The cornucopia is in a state of limit, which can make him earn 300,000 gold a year. But this Mr. Wang, just by moving his lips, showed him the prospect of hundreds of thousands of gold, and the estimated income will exceed the cornucopia.

"And this matter of running the Wuwei Palace, please leave it to Mr. The guild ordered everyone in the house to fully cooperate with the gentleman, and as for the relationship between the internal affairs office, there is no need to worry, and the guild will inform the council later. ”

Wang Meng frowned slightly when he heard this, leaned over and hugged his fists and said: "But when I look at the adult's mansion, there is no silver money." ”

"This matter is simple, I recently bought a lot of grains, grasses and medicinal herbs, which can be used as collateral. In the name of the Anguo government, you will go to find a merchant to borrow money. From tomorrow, all the books and properties of the Ann State Mansion will be open to Mr. ”

Ying Chong laughed, not caring about the money: "If it doesn't work, you can go and ask Neiko for instructions." ”

Wang Meng had already understood what Ying Chong meant, and the implication was that he could use Miss Ye Si's dowry. Obviously, this prince doesn't mind the final ownership of these incomes, as long as the fertilizer and water don't flow out.

There is also the grain and herbs, but I am afraid that the number is not small. This An Guogong borrowed millions of gold just to buy these things?

But what is the purpose of this large-scale purchase of grain and herbal medicines?

"That's it!"

Ying Chong didn't give Wang Meng a chance to bargain, and directly made a conclusion.

Originally, this was just a test of Wang Meng, but he unexpectedly got a good result, which made Ying Chong feel good.

Later, when he talked about business, he also became pleasant: "This public subordinate is the night fox, and I found out about it today." Twenty days later, the Yuan Ji Dan sent by His Majesty will be sent to the capital. Well, by the way, who of you haven't heard of Yuanji Dan?"

Everyone was silent, only Zhao Shen and Sima Zhu showed confusion in their eyes.

Seeing this, Ying Chong didn't mean to explain in detail, he only smiled and said: "If this thing is sent to Xianyang, it can be copied from the Gongwu vein, and it will be greatly increased and cultivated." However, the people who are now eyeing this thing not only include the Wuyang Ying clan, but also several family lords and countless forces in the rivers and lakes. In short, Bengong wants to take this opportunity to fight with the Wuyang Ying clan. ”

When Wang Meng heard this, he suddenly realized, I see, this is the opportunity that Ying Chong is waiting for?

His senior brother Guo Jia had expected this, and Wang Meng also saw some clues.

He originally thought that Ying Chong wanted to start from the court, but the move of this prince was unexpected again, and he was ready to directly dig up the foundation of Ying Shiji.

I also thought that there was a lord like Ying Chong, and if he was replaced by an ordinary strategist, I was afraid that he would feel like a mountain of pressure. (To be continued.) )
