In July, the weather in Lingnan was still very comfortable in the morning.

The construction site in the north of the city has not yet started, but there are crowds of people in front of a flat-floor sales department on the periphery, and the voices of people are noisy.

There are those who wait in line, those who come to join in the fun, and those who come to consult.

The open space in front of the sales department is full of people, so it's not lively.

Father Feng looked at the long queue in front of him, his eyes were full of shock, and he said to his eldest son Feng Jin, who was queuing: "Didn't you say that the old men in the city are not optimistic about the north of the city, since they are not optimistic, why are there so many people queuing up today?" ”

Feng Jin looked at the front of him and said with a bitter face: "I squatted in front of the teahouse and inquired in many ways, the nobles in the city are 100% not optimistic about the north of the city, but most of the people who came today are not those nobles. ”

As he spoke, he pointed in a circle and asked his father to take a good look, but don't wronged him.

Feng Mu, the second child standing next to Father Feng, was worried that there were too many people queuing up in front of him, so he chose all the good locations of the shops, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he complained a little, "Big brother, you take it for granted." If I hadn't urged you, you might still be eating breakfast at home now, and when you come back after breakfast, the daylily might be cold. ”

Feng Jin defended himself: "I didn't think that the old men in the city were not interested in the north of the city, so there were not many people competing. Who would have thought that the old man didn't come, but so many people came! ”

Most of the people who come to the north of the city today are families with small assets in their families, and there are a few families at the bottom of the line.

Feng Mu couldn't hide his worry on his face, and said to Father Feng: "Dad, there are so many people today, when it's our turn, will all the good shops be robbed?" ”

Father Feng's old face was faintly worried, but his worry was different from Feng Mu's worry, "I knew this earlier, I should have come to line up before dawn today, and now there are a lot of people queuing in front of us, and when it is our turn, the small courtyard with a good location may be chosen by others first."

When the location of the small courtyard is not good, your brother looks at his daughter-in-law, what should I do if the woman dislikes it? ”

When Feng Jin heard this, his face immediately showed a slight disapproval, "If you want me to say, it's okay for Xiao Si to live with us after he gets married, it's too lonely to buy a small courtyard to live separately." ”

Hearing this, Father Feng glanced at his two sons, and said with a solemn face: "Don't forget, the silver that bought the small courtyard and the shop today is all your brother who fought back with the fifth master of the palace, and he fought back with his life, and he was willing to buy a shop for the family because he still took care of your brotherhood."

He doesn't know that he thinks about himself, we as parents and brothers always have to think about him, I won't say much about buying a shop and counting it as a public middle school, but he followed the fifth master to suppress the silver earned back with his life, we have to leave a small courtyard for him, right? ”

Father Feng's little four in their mouths was Feng Tu, the first to sign up at the fifth master Li Chengmu's recruitment office at the time of conscription.

Because he was the first to sign up, he has been following under Li Chengmu, and with his 'southern expedition and northern war', he can be regarded as a veteran-level figure under Li Chengmu.

"Dad, we all know in our hearts the contribution of the fourth child to this family."

Father Feng snorted coldly and knocked on them, "It's good that you know, if you envy Xiao Si, as long as you can earn money to buy courtyards and shops, I can also make the decision to register the courtyard in your name." ”

Feng Jin's face turned red, looked around, and whispered: "Dad, aren't you cold to our brothers, how can we have such an opportunity as the fourth master, go directly to the fifth master's team and get his blue eyes." ”

Hearing this, Father Feng glanced at them speechlessly, and said earnestly: "So, a few of you who are elder brothers should be more good to your younger brother, Xiao Si is a child who knows how to be grateful, and in the future, he will follow the fifth master to soar, and he will think more about taking care of your rooms, especially the nephews and nieces below." ”

Feng Jin and Feng Mu were humbly taught, and took Father Feng's words to heart, in fact, Xiao Si was the youngest brother, and they were usually very good to him.

This time, I just envied him a little in my heart, and my words were inappropriate for a while.

The brothers silently decided in their hearts that they would not be next time.

Feng Jin lined up, Feng Mu went to the front to find out the news, and when he came back, he said to the father and son: "Do you know who is at the front?" ”

Feng Jin asked curiously, "Who is it?" ”

"It is the people of Xia Kee Grange on the outskirts of the city, and it is said that this grange is the property of the princess, and these people are also considered tenants of the princess. It's just that what I didn't expect was that the tenants in the Princess Grange were so rich! Feng Mu sighed.

At this time, Father Feng spoke, "I heard Xiao Si say that most of the tenants in the princess's grange came to Lingnan with the palace when they fled, and most of their families have people working under the fifth master's account. I guess they can afford to buy shops, and they must have been rewarded a lot by following the five masters to suppress the bandits. ”

For example, their family can afford to buy small courtyards and shops, all thanks to Feng Tude's reward.

Shopkeeper Li and Shopkeeper Ding came early and lined up in front of the line, and the two chose a shop not far from the government, which was on the main street, and the price was naturally not cheap.

Fortunately, the two of them used to have a bit of wealth, otherwise they really couldn't afford to buy a shop here.

Shopkeeper Li held the freshly baked purchase contract, tears of excitement, and worked hard in Fucheng for many years, and finally had a shop of his own.

With a shop, there is a sense of belonging, and there is a feeling of home in Fucheng.

It's not easy to wander in Fucheng all these years!

Shopkeeper Ding looked at him funny, "When the shop is delivered, we can go to the yamen to handle the land deed, and when we get the red deed, the shop really belongs to you and me." ”

Shopkeeper Li nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, before the shop is delivered, we have to collect this contract, don't lose it, otherwise when you apply for the certificate, I'm afraid you won't be able to find the certificate." ”

Shopkeeper Ding checked the paper contract in his hand and said with emotion: "I have been in Lingnan for a few months, and finally there is an industry in Lingnan, I believe that with the palace, we will have more hope for our future life." ”

Unlike in his hometown, where the land is barren, he has worked hard to make money, and he is just barely able to get by.

And in Lingnan, he met the nobles in his life, and life was easier than before.

In recent months, there have been iron workshops in the north of the city, and several construction sites have started, and the flow of people has increased, and the natural and organic merchants do not dislike the stinky water flowing in the north of the city, and the smell is stinking, so they rent shops near the north of the city and open restaurants, restaurants, grocery stores, etc., to do the business of construction site workers and workshop workers.

Today, in the restaurant near the north of the city, the private room on the second floor is very lively.

Several groups of sons of families have booked private rooms here.

Among them, there was a private room where Tong Song, the eldest young master of the Chen family, and several other high-ranking sons of the family were sitting and drinking tea.

They came to this restaurant near the north of the city with dignity, and they were completely attracted by the movement in the city today.

The real estate in the north of the city opened today, and they had already gotten the news, but the north of the city is a cheap place in the hearts of Lingnan people, and it can't arouse their interest at all.

The reason why it attracts people today is because the people in the city are running this way, and they follow the flow of people to see the strangeness.

Lingnan has not been so lively for many years, looking at the long queue in front of the construction site in the distance, Young Master Chen shook his fan and said: "Our people in Lingnan are really enthusiastic, especially the princess's field. ”

Tong Song snorted, "Why didn't Young Master Chen pick up the princess's stinky feet today?" ”

remembered that some time ago, the other party secretly poked and poked a lot of snowflake salt and transported it to other places to earn a lot of silver, Tong Song's heart was extremely unbalanced.

Young Master Chen shook off his fan and said with a smile: "If this is heard by the princess, Young Master Ben believes that it is enough for you." In order to live happily, Master Ben advises you to be careful when you speak, and be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth! ”

Tong Song didn't believe that he could meet the people of the palace in such a small restaurant, so he snorted coldly without showing weakness, "You are not afraid of the princess's stinky feet, what am I afraid of?" ”

Young Master Chen: "." Uncouth!

Niu Yongcheng, the second son of Niu Debao, the former chief soldier of the Lingnan Guard, interjected and asked: "You say, can the north of the city really become prosperous?" Otherwise, the princess would not have made such a great effort to transform the north of the city. ”

The two who were originally-for-tat, listened to Niu Debao's words, and their minds returned to the north of the city.

Young Master Chen looked at the long line outside and was silent.

Tong Song frowned, thought for a while and said: "Maybe we don't have a complete understanding of the north of the city, or we don't know enough about the palace, so we have a misunderstanding of the palace. In fact, the entry of King Qian's mansion into Lingnan is to show the enemy with weakness? ”

Niu Debao looked at the other people in the private room and asked tentatively, "Why don't we send someone to find out the situation, but it's really not possible, and we can buy a few rooms for some money to stock up?" ”

Tong Song seemed to be considering what he said, considering the feasibility of what he said, "As far as I know, the shops and residences here can make a down payment first, and the rest of the silver can be slowly repaid on a yearly basis, or on a monthly basis." As long as you pay a certain amount of interest, you can apply for a down payment. ”

If it weren't for this very tempting piece of news, most people would not have considered buying a house in reality.

It is a bit unrealistic for them to spend their life savings to buy a house, they naturally feel that the house is enough to live in, and insist on insisting on it for a year, a few years, or more than ten years and it will pass.

Niu Yongcheng was a little impatient, "If it is according to what Young Master Tong said, then the house in the north of the city may not be sold." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the others: "Otherwise, we will send someone to line up, hurry up and buy a few sets of her, and if we continue to hesitate, maybe all the properties below will be sold out." ”

Otherwise, when the sales are sold out, you won't be able to buy it if you want to.

When Xia Jing arrived in the north of the city in a carriage, only half of the team was left, and the other people in front of the queue almost all bought shops and courtyards with good locations as they wished.

In fact, everyone is wondering in their hearts, the princess allows everyone to pay the down payment, which is equivalent to giving benefits to the people at the middle and lower levels.

Is there really money to be made in doing business like this?

Don't you make money at a loss?

Xia Jing's arrival made those young masters who had just moved instantly settled down again.

Even if they want to buy a shop in the north of the city, they can't let Xia Jing see it in person, otherwise, they will be so faceless!

Poor self-esteem once again made them ruin this opportunity to make a fortune.

Xia Jing arrived at the sales department, and as soon as she got out of the carriage, many people in the grange in the front lawn of the sales department recognized her.

"Princess, are you here today?"

"Did you buy a shop or a small courtyard?" Xia Jing noticed the purchase contract they were holding and asked with concern.

Yonggen scratched his head and replied with a smile: "My family doesn't have much money, so I only chose the smallest shop, made a down payment of silver, and then I will pay off your arrears by collecting rent every month." ”

When Xia Jing saw his naïve appearance, she couldn't help but soften her voice a lot, "It's not bad that your family can buy a small shop, it has already surpassed most of the people outside." ”

Yonggen nodded: "All this is the credit of you, princess, if you didn't bring us to Lingnan, I believe that our family would have become a white bone by this time." ”

Xia Jing laughed when she heard this: "It's mainly up to you, you can buy the shop, it's the result of your family's joint efforts, cherish it." ”

Then Zuo Jiuchuan, the temporary manager of the Grange, came out of the sales department and naturally found Xia Jing.

He walked up to Xia Jing and said with a smile: "Princess, the sales department has signed a lot of contracts today. ”

Xia Jing smiled and motioned for Zuo Jiuchuan to stay away from the crowd with her.

When she was some distance away from the crowd, she asked about the Grange.

Whenever she asked, Zuo Jiuchuan answered her patiently.

"Now is the time when the farm is slack, and the grange can organize people to continue to build some more houses. There is also a vacant land in the grange and some factories to be built. ”

Zuo Jiuchuan was puzzled, so he asked, "Build a factory?" Does the princess want to set up a workshop or factory in the Grange? ”

"I plan to build a textile factory in the Grange, and recruit the women and girls in the Grange to work in the factory, so that they can have a source of income to improve the family's life and status."

This is a decision made by Xia Jing to estimate the status of women in this society, and another reason is that in troubled times, the purchasing power of silver is not large, and more people will be willing to trade in cloth.

Barter, exchanging your excess supplies for the ones you urgently need.

Zuo Jiuchuan was very excited to hear that he was going to set up a factory in the grange, which meant that he had another important source of income in his hands.

"In this case, after the little one goes back, he will arrange for the personnel to go out and buy more cotton and linen and come back. And next year, the small ones will try to encourage everyone to go to the fields and mountains to raise more mulberry and silkworms. ”

Xia Jing has no opinion on this, Zuo Jiuchuan looks at the arrangement.

Then she remembered something and said, "When the harvest is harvested this autumn, I plan to plant another season of vegetables." You prepare the seeds in advance, and prepare more shelf-stable vegetable seeds. ”

Winter vegetables are the most rare, and the price is several times higher than that of the season.

Xia Jing remembered that the climate temperature difference between the south of Nanling and the north of Nanling was quite large.

The winter in Lingnan is not too cold, you can wear an autumn coat to survive the winter, of course, sometimes you need to wear thicker clothes when it gets cold, but it is not too cold.

However, the winter north of Nanling is very cold, except for some seasonal vegetables such as cabbage and radish, there are no vegetables in other seasons in winter.

Of course, except if there is a greenhouse, but who can afford to make a greenhouse at this time?

Unless the family is strong.

If her grange grows another crop of out-of-season vegetables after the autumn harvest, and when the vegetables are ripe, they will be transported to Jingzhou north of Nanling to be sold, and they will definitely be sold at a high price and make a lot of money.
