Chapter 621: East of the City
"The small one can not have a penny of profit, but can it be done after completion, let the small one copy a drawing to take away, if someone wants to build such a greenhouse in the future, the small one will take two percent of the profit and send it to the general's mansion for ten years, how about it?"
Daniel Zhang can make his reputation bigger in Cezhou, and he is naturally a smart one.
First of all, he didn't want to be paid, so that the people in the General's Mansion could relax their guard, and then he proposed to take away the reproduced drawings, knowing that the General's Mansion might not agree, so he immediately promised long-term benefits, so that Du Jingyi could also be a little moved.
Although the intention is obvious, the person is sincere.
Of course, he knew that such a two-percent benefit might not be something to be seen in the eyes of the General's Mansion, but as long as he could have a little relationship with the General's Mansion, it would be beneficial to him in the future, so even if he gave up the three-percent benefit, he would be happy to contribute to it!
Du Jingyi took a closer look at this Daniel Zhang, and it was really good, so he immediately waved his hand and said.
"I'll pay the wages of the West Cross Courtyard, and it's no problem if you want to take this drawing away after it's finished, and even if I have some other things related to repairing the house, you can also take them with you, but I have other conditions."
"Madame, but it doesn't hurt to say that."
"I want you to pull up a team within a year, and all the things related to the construction, repair, landscaping, and even the interior furnishings, placements, feng shui, and all kinds of objects are covered, that is to say, I want you to build a new house on the flat land, the front store and the back yard, the kind that you have to pay for, and you can live in it immediately, do you know what I mean?"
Du Jingyi's words are obviously a bit overstepping.
Zhao Ping was stunned when he heard it, and he didn't understand what the general's wife wanted such a team to do, but Daniel Zhang wanted to be more knowledgeable, so he gradually understood something.
Immediately afterwards, his expression was a little solemn, and he didn't shy away from it, so he asked bluntly.
"There is a piece of land in the east of the city, which has been empty, and for so many years, it has been a barren grass, but a few days ago, I heard that someone bought that land, so is Mrs. the buyer?"
Hearing this, Du Jingyi knew that he didn't choose the wrong person, and he was really smart.
So he smiled and replied without refuting.
"The development of Cezhou over the years is very good, but there is some chaos in the city, the merchants have a hammer in the east, and there is no place to place the mallet in the west, the land in the east of the city is bought by a friend of mine, the purpose is to build a business area belonging to Cezhou, the east of the city is flat and spacious, if it is built well, I believe that it is not inferior to any of the existing places in the city."
Her words made the excitement of those present, the worry of worry.
Excited as Daniel Zhang, naturally knows how much space such a place can let him show, when the time comes, let alone Cezhou, that is, the Daxing Dynasty may be able to have the reputation of his Zhang family, this is a matter of Guangzong Yaozu!
Of course he had to take it.
At this moment, thinking of the two benefits he had just proposed, he was really playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong, so he immediately promised.
"This matter is very important, the small mouth must be stricter than the iron rooster, and it will not let outsiders know, so Madame rest assured, such a team will not give you, oh no, trouble your friends is!"
Daniel Zhang's guarantee is of course sincere, but people's hearts are not so simple to believe, so Du Jingyi has a way to restrain him.
But such a move made the rest of the General's Mansion worried.
What they are worried about is not that their wife will not be able to do this, but that they are afraid that it will be too good, but that others will have a reason to talk, and when the time comes, if the words of Cezhou or the General's Mansion leak out, then it will be called a trouble!
It's just that in front of outsiders, he naturally won't say much.
After arranging everything, Steward He took the two of them to the account room to pay the money, and Du Jingyi and Cherry were left in the house, and Cherry did not shy away from it, so she asked bluntly.
"Isn't Madame worried?"
"Are you afraid that Daniel Zhang will go out and talk nonsense?"
"Well, after all, I've never dealt with each other, how credible can his words be? The most important thing is that he doesn't know how he works, and his wife told him about such a big thing, if he has other thoughts, will it cause trouble? ”
Cherry's worries are not unreasonable, but these are all in Du Jingyi's grasp.
"Now that I talk to him, he is naturally full of thoughts to build the West Cross Courtyard well, I don't lack his salary, I just want to see how far he can go when he is full of energy? If it is true that the person is as famous, then it is not a big problem to let him do the land in the east of the city, as for the things you mentioned, I have mentioned it before, it is the land that my friend bought, what does it have to do with me? What does it have to do with my general's mansion? You can rest assured. ”
"The slave is afraid, if the new emperor hears something......
Before Cherry's words were finished, Du Jingyi laughed.
"Cherry is really at the age of being an aunt, and everything is starting to be cautious, which is a good thing, but your wife and I are not just old and not brainy, this little thing is naturally counted, don't worry."
Du Jingyi said one after another that rest assured, so it was not good for the cherry to ask more.
Anyway, his wife did not make any mistakes in doing things, so she stopped thinking about it, compared to her little worry, Steward He really did what she was told, and he didn't have any doubts about Du Jingyi.
After sending Zhao Ping and Daniel Zhang away, he went to the courtyard where the stewards were and called Zhou Mi.
This housekeeper Zhou is still young, only twenty-seven or eighteen, but he is a son of a family, his father helps in the stables, and his mother used to be the mother-in-law who does sprinkling and sweeping in the yard of Old Madam Gu, and they are not a powerful servant.
It's just that he is smart, and he looks shrewd and capable when he is young.
It's not unusual to have this mind, it's strange that things are still very thoughtful and calm, but people are as good as their name suggests, and they are thorough.
After seeing him, Steward He said calmly.
"Madame has taken a fancy to your method, so I told you to go to the front hall for questioning, clean up, and go quickly."
Joy from heaven is a great thing.
But after Zhou Mi was stunned and surprised for a moment when he first heard the news, the whole person was still very calm, and Steward He also saw it in his eyes, and after flashing a trace of satisfaction, he quickly returned to calm.
When the two came to the front hall, Du Jingyi's eyebrows and eyes were much more stretched than just now.
After all, they are all from the family, so Du Jingyi speaks straightforwardly.
"Thoughtful, right, the method is good, I see a lot of Steward He's cautious, now that the people who repair the house have been decided, then this matter will be left to you to dock, if there is anything you don't understand, just find Steward He, listen more and ask more to learn more?"
