Lu Daoyou asked what this was about.

Xie Lingjiang's tone was curious.

Ouyang Rong glanced at the young man in the Taoist robe who suddenly came with facial paralysis, and then turned his head to look at the riverside restaurant not far from the window.

He let go of the hand holding the little junior sister, poured a cup of hot tea with his own hands, handed it to Lu Jian to warm up, and at the same time swallowed slowly:

"Yangzhou Dajia, who seems to be a widow with strong family wealth, is the chairman of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce in Xunyang City, and is suspected of selling illicit salt.

"In the past two years, I have also invested money everywhere, spending a lot of money in Xunyang, and recently this group of Yangzhou wealthy businessmen led by Pei Shisanniang are keen to buy the land of Xingzifang, and the movement is not small.

"However, on the other side of Xingzifang, the age is long, the houses are old, although the location is good, adjacent to the river view, but the houses in the square are scattered, the planning is chaotic, and the house deeds are scattered in the hands of a large number of small landlords.

"Among these people, some are heirlooms in ancestral homes, some are living on rent, and some are simply idle and outside...... All in all, property rights are scattered, historical entanglements, and there are a lot of disputes. ”

Ouyang Rong shook his head and replied truthfully, not so much to tell Lu Jian as to explain the ins and outs to the little junior sister by the way.

Lu pressed his face and listened intently, unable to see his expression.

Xie Lingjiang pinched up a butterfly-shaped sycamore red leaf, twisted and rotated between his two fingers, and glanced at the senior brother who was calmly narrating from time to time.

"So this Pei Sanniang has been trying to catch my line since the beginning of this year.

"Their group of Yangshang merchants who sell salt ashore are indeed not short of money, but unfortunately, if they want to buy their favorite lot, it is not enough to have money, there are many nail households in Xingzifang, and many landlords are not short of money, and they sell their houses well.

"In this case, they have money and nowhere to go, they may be able to deal with individual small landlords, but they can't solve everything, there are too many small landlords, and they can always run into hard stubble...... As for the gray methods when he was a salt merchant, he couldn't all use them in Xunyang City, so he thought of taking the line of the government.

"It's different with the endorsement of the government, as long as the Jiangzhou lobby comes forward to cooperate and issue a corresponding order, it can help them clear the obstacles and force those small landlords to sell their houses obediently at the market price, this trick is indeed feasible, and the abacus is good.

"This Pei Sanniang is the person who came out of their group of interest groups, long-sleeved and good at dancing, and clever in mouth, when I first found me at the beginning of the year, it was in the name of repairing the low-lying Xingzifang sewer, with a bunch of water conservancy experts, saying that they want to seek the well-being of the people of Xingzifang, and are willing to undertake all the sewer repair projects.

"Later, after the excavation of the Shuangfeng Tip was completed, the Xunshui outside the West City Gate was diverted, and the lowest Xingzifang was no longer harmed by flooding, and she didn't mention much of the water conservancy expert's excuse, probably knowing that I didn't like this set, so I was a little more settled."

Ouyang Rong shook his head.

Xie Lingjiang lowered his eyelashes and smiled at the red leaves:

"Then last time in the back house of Xunyang Building, I invited the senior brother to close the door and enjoy the pipa, the senior brother really didn't like it?"

Ouyang Rong was sitting in danger, and first made a move to lose the car to protect the handsome:

"Yuan Huaimin likes it, I'm not interested, speaking of which, I still heard him highly recommend it at the beginning, and I was suddenly invited, so I took a look at it, but I didn't expect it."

Xie Ling Jiang Xiang's cheeks bulged slightly, and nodded: "Senior brother, it's better that you really didn't expect it." ”

"Why am I going to do it when I think of it?" Ouyang Rong glared at her.

The little junior sister is more and more fond of fishing law enforcement, and she talks to him, and it's really a woman, heh.

Lu Jian didn't understand what the two were talking about, his eyes seemed to digest Ouyang Rong's words, and he asked again:

"The dilapidated house in Xingzifang, they collect so much at once, is there any huge profit from changing hands, so they think about it?"

"I don't know, but there are two kinds of things."

Ouyang Rong quietly pressed the plain hand that pinched the soft meat on his waist, turned his head, and casually analyzed:

"If it weren't for the long-term bullish increase in the land price and housing prices in the old city of Xingzifang, and it was soaring, I would be ready to close low and sell high, and make a big profit.

"Either there is too much spare money that needs to be laundered ashore, or it acts as a white glove for some high-ranking officials in Gangnam Province, and this silver is too troublesome to idle, so it is better to use it to buy stable assets.

However, after experiencing the windfall profits of gray salt sales, it is estimated that the ordinary low-profit business can no longer satisfy their appetite, and this kind of real estate land in the prime area adjacent to Xunyangdu is at a low level, but it is in line with their appetite.

"It is not only decent, but also able to rise slowly for a long time, the income ratio is not low, and the amount is full, which can be used as a reservoir of spare money......

"Oh, looking at their posture before, the play is not small, this plate is not just one street or two streets, but most of the Xingzifang, all of them are taken, connected together, renovated and improved, like the luxurious private residences of those dignitaries and nobles in Xiushuifang and Xunyangfang, to make money from the rich people in Jiangnan."

Ouyang Rong had long sleeves, sharp words, and watched coldly.

Lu pressed the peachwood sword on his knees, and his eyes were thoughtful.

Xie Lingjiang put down the bamboo basket containing red leaves and asked curiously:

"Xingzifang is such a complex and difficult situation, there are still historical problems, a big mess, Jiangzhou Hall comes and goes, I don't know how many thorns have been sent to the long history, even the current senior brother, but if you are sober-minded, you will not move around, just a few years of term, thankless, why bother, this batch of Yangshang bothered to hold it for a long time? They are so confident that after sorting out the mess, the land price of Xingzifang can rise sharply? ”

Ouyang Rong nodded, and shook his head again:

"No matter in the long term, as long as they buy it, they will not lose anything.

"Clear-eyed people can see that the location is here, north of the Xunyang River, west of the city gate, east of Xunyangdu, more advantageous than Xunyang Fang, not to mention the opening of the Shuangfeng Tsim Donglin Giant Buddha Grottoes outside the west city gate, is also the closest. As for what kind of water repair workshop, you can't even see the river, so don't compare.

"Xingzifang can be said to be the most expensive in Xunyang, but the most expensive area in Xunyang City is not it, and even it is ranked at the bottom, in disrepair, and has become a low-rent house for ordinary people and foreign handymen in the market.

"In the city, Xunyang Fang and Xiushui Fang are the most expensive, and they remain high. The former is expensive, the latter is rich. Xunyangfang is located in the Jiangzhou lobby, and there are many officials' private residences, which are convenient to go up and down. Xiushui Fang, backed by Kuanglu Mountain, has a deep beautiful scenery, and the private residences of dignitaries and celebrities gather. ”

He pursed his lips: "So in the short term, there will be no loss, in the long run, the rise will definitely rise, if it rises sharply, it was uncertain before, but now it ......"

"What's going on now?" Xie Lingjiang was curious, and asked differently: "How is it determined now?" ”

Ouyang Rong suddenly said:

"Pei Sanniang, they must be thinking day and night, hoping that this time Qin Bo's conquest army can return with a great victory, and quickly solve Li Zhengyan's Kuang Fu army in the southwest, and there will be no more repetition like Zhu Lingxu before."

"Why is that?"

He nodded: "Of course, because I love my Da Zhou, the businessman does not forget to worry about national affairs." ”

"Seriously." Xie Ling Jiang was disgusted.

"Okay."

He's serious:

"Because the current chief official of Jiangzhou is your senior brother, when they see it, they are naturally full of confidence in the land price of Xunyang, and they bet on all their belongings......"

“……？” Xie Lingjiang.

"Anyway, should I take them money? It's really cheap for them, but I can't just do nothing because I'm worried about cheapening them. Ouyang Rong sighed.

Xie Ling Jiang was skeptical: "Is this really the reason?" How do you feel that the senior brother is secretly boasting about himself. ”

"Take the feeling out."

Ouyang Rong smiled, then his face returned to a serious face, and said softly:

"This time the war in the southwest happened not to affect Jiangzhou, a little bit, it was really lucky, and Hongzhou next door was not so lucky, not only changed hands repeatedly and fell into the thief camp, but also because the war affected people's livelihood, commercial shipping......

"In the previous peaceful days, Jiangzhou and Hongzhou are in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, close to each other, faintly competitive, Hongzhou opened the country and set up a governor's office, half a level higher than Jiangzhou, has always been, but also all things on the pressure of Jiangzhou, siphoning the resources of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

"Now that the war is raging and Hongzhou has fallen, Jiangzhou has not only not been affected and has held the last line, but has also become the largest transit point for transporting logistics resources to the front line in the entire southeast.

"Jiangzhou not only now enjoys the dividends of the wartime economy, but also after Qin Bo's conquest army quelled Li Zhengyan's Kuang Fu army, the war ended, and the entire southwest border prefecture and county were restored and recuperated.

The novel angle from a high vantage point made Xie Lingjiang's eyes shine.

"When the rich people in the southwest run to Jiangzhou and the southeast, the prosperity of Xunyangdu will go to a higher level, Xunyang City is not much vacant land, and the urban area is also crowded.

"Understood, what a top man." Xie Lingjiang sighed.

"Sure enough." Lu Qian nodded heavily.

"Sure enough?" Xie Lingjiang looked at him, his eyes suspicious: "Lu Daoyou doesn't care about mundane things on weekdays, can he understand these early?" ”

She swallowed a sentence and didn't say: You new outsider knows more than her, isn't the senior brother right, she is really stupid? No, by no means......

"I didn't understand it earlier." Lu Jian shook his head: "And Poor Dao actually didn't understand the truth that Ouyang Gongzi had just analyzed. ”

"......" Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang.

The young man in the face paralyzed robe was a little embarrassed: "However, the poor Dao heard a simple truth-businessmen seek profits, and they are as good as they are." That's enough. ”

Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang glanced at each other and wanted to speak, but Lu Jian suddenly changed his words.

"Does Ouyang Gongzi know the restaurant he is going to, the current situation?"

"What does Governor Lu mean?"

Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang followed the direction of the landing pressure finger and looked at the riverside high-rise buildings in the distance outside the window.

Immediately, Lu Zhuan was expressionless, and briefly introduced the current excitement of Xunyang Building.

Xie Lingjiang suddenly found that the arc of the smile that had always hung on the corners of the senior brother's mouth since they had just met slowly disappeared, and the expression that was originally approaching the time of dry rice also calmed down.

She frowned and patted the back of his hand:

"Let's not go, turn around and go home."

After speaking, Xie Lingjiang stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain, and he was about to instruct the groom.

"Wait."

Xie Lingjiang felt that her hand was grabbed, and she clenched it with a lot of force, she looked back and saw that it was he who stopped her.

Ouyang Rong held Xie Lingjiang's soft wattle, looked out the window, and was silent for a while:

"Let's take a look, it's all here, you can't let everyone do it, and there are many people who don't know why and are simply admired. Others can be rude, we can't be rude, though...... Heh, the face of a Governor of Jiang is really valuable, and it is such a big pomp to eat. ”

"But ......"

Ouyang Rong retracted his gaze, turned back to Xie Lingjiang and said word by word:

"Little junior sister, senior brother, I have to teach you every day, but this time I taught a counterexample, which is really ashamed.

"Looking at it now, it doesn't seem that the way I helped people this time, senior brother, is not quite right...... Throughout the ages, helping others is indeed a difficult problem, one more point, or one less point, this degree is difficult to master, one is not good, it may be an instant enmity, it is better not to help...... Take this as a warning.

"I won't avoid this problem, so let's take a look, it's also a long lesson, and the past will not forget the future."

Xie Lingjiang shook his head and said stubbornly:

"Senior brother, don't be disappointed, what you did is right, your heart is right, this is the most rare and valuable.

"In this world, what is wrong is never kindness, but human nature that is easily affected by the interests of power, and it is someone who is taking advantage of kindness.

"And having a good heart is by no means a weakness, and no one can criticize the senior brother in this matter. Even, I think the big brother is very good, really good, very good......"

The beauty's eyes were surprisingly gentle, Ouyang Rong was silent, and after a while, he faced Lu Jian and thanked sincerely:

"Thank you Captain Lu for the reminder."

Lu Jian shook his head: "No thanks." Ouyang Gongzi's words also pointed out the poor way. Originally... That's right. ”

When the carriage approached Xunyang Tower, Lu Jian suddenly said goodbye and left.

Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang glanced at each other and didn't ask much.

After a while, the carriage arrived at the door of Xunyang Building, Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang lifted the curtain, and the noisy sound came from the surface, and there were fiery eyes.

Everything in front of him was as Lu Jian said.

Ouyang Rong got out of the car calmly, and Pei Shisanniang greeted him and Xie Lingjiang with a smile.

The two were warmly welcomed into the building.

During this period, Pei Sanniang, who had already thought of an excuse for sycophancy, quietly glanced at the expression of the young man in the felt hat, and found that there was no dissatisfaction and anger on Junlang's face, and he didn't even ask a question, and entered the building quietly.

The lady who "accidentally" made a huge pomp and circumstance was surprised and strange for a while, but of course, the smile on her face remained the same......

Just when the protagonist arrived, today's grand luncheon in Xunyang Building was about to begin.

On the third floor, the daffodil box, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

The father and daughter of the Huang family, who were laughing and looking forward to a better life in the house, were startled, turned their heads to look, and saw a familiar and unfamiliar young man in Taoist robes walking into the box and sitting down unceremoniously in front of them.

The father and daughter reacted, their faces wary.

"Why are you bullnose again, how did you get in." Huang Feihong got up in surprise and habitually rolled up her sleeves.

Lu Jian didn't look at him, his face was paralyzed, and he asked the little girl who was wearing a new dress for the first time today:

"Huang Xuan, aren't you curious about what kind of business the woman surnamed Pei who invited you here, as well as those rich businessmen outside?"

Huang Xuan's little face was stunned.
