"I didn't open the school to make money, I just wanted to educate the people, so that there would be no foolish people in the world."

The same rhetoric, Bai Song said to Chen Lao.

Old Chen didn't take this to heart, but when Shangguan Yi heard it, it made him look upright, and he looked Bai Song up and down again.

"Childe really has such a grand wish? To be honest, Shangguan and Gongzi's wishes coincide, if Gongzi really has this heart, Shangguan should help him in the future. ”

Shangguan Yi's words were simple, and at this moment, he had completely changed his heart towards Bai Song.

Bai Song smiled bitterly: "What grand wish is not grandiose?" At present, there are still problems ahead to open the school. ”

As he spoke, Bai Song repeated the worries of Lord Chai before.

Shangguan Yi listened thoughtfully, and then said: "Although the son can rest assured, even if others care about it, I, Shangguan Yi, will not know the feelings of the son." No matter what the identity of the son is, Shangguan will definitely serve the son as a dog and horse. ”

Bai Song shook his head: "It's not enough for you alone, this school not only needs many teachers, but also many students." Otherwise, what is the use of this school to open? ”

As he spoke, Bai Song asked again: "From what Mr. sees, how can the school I want to open go smoothly?" ”

Shangguan Yi thought about it and was a little helpless, but he had to admit: "If Gongzi really wants to open this school, I'm afraid he can only follow Lord Chai's wishes." ”

"Participating in the imperial examination?"

Shangguan Yi nodded: "That's right, it's only a month before Qiuqiu, but Gongzi can try it...... I just don't know ...... childe."

Shangguan Yi wanted to speak and stopped, obviously doubting Bai Song's literary skills.

Bai Song did not answer this, but just took the matter to heart.

……

A month in the blink of an eye.

In mid-August, the sun was scorching.

In January, changes can be seen everywhere in Jixian County.

There were many people in the market and county, and a few vendors began to accept silver tickets.

The young lady who went out was talking about it, saying that this silver ticket was extremely light to carry on the body, and it was no longer so troublesome to buy and sell things.

More than a dozen horse-drawn carriages laden with wheat passed through the streets, attracting countless onlookers, watching the caravan pass through the bazaar, and finally arrived in the barn of the Taishou Mansion under the escort of the officials.

It was the same carriage again, but it was tightly wrapped, and finally stopped at the gate of the Chen family's backyard, attracting all the elders and clansmen of the Chen family.

At this time, Bai Song was in the Taishou Mansion.

Yesterday he had already received 35,000 taels of silver and silver from the Chen family, and Chen Xirong promised not to use this batch of silver for two years.

This gave Bai Song a reassurance.

It was these 35,000 taels of silver that gave Bai Song the confidence to talk about it with Master Jiang.

Compared with the development of other states and counties, the urban development of Jixian County is backward, but the population base of Jixian County is very large, and at the same time, Turkic people have often migrated and settled here recently, and the growth rate of urban population has gradually increased.

Because of the field production of the Bai Song Dynasty, although the area is not large, the batch of grain of the Bai Song Dynasty solved the problem of the hungry people, and gradually made the surrounding people feel that there was surplus grain in Jixian County, so they followed to the vicinity of Jixian County.

The population of Jixian County is large, which is a rare opportunity for Jixian County.

In the room of the official mansion, Bai Song took out a map of Jixian County, spread it out on the table, and sketched it with an entire area west of Dregs Street at the end of Flower Street.

"In the southwest of Jixian County, in the lower reaches of the Wei River, there are more than 3,000 acres of land, without any infrastructure, and only two or three thousand households live. This is a great waste of resources, now the number of residents in the county has increased, and Jixian County is crowded everywhere, but there is no one in Xicheng. If the land in Xicheng can be used well, on the one hand, it can solve the problem of urban population in the street, and it can create a lot of economic benefits. ”

Jiang Yu stroked his beard and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Bai Gongzi, you have lived in Jixian County for a long time, don't you know the reason for Xicheng?" The terrain of Xicheng is low, every year the Weihe River is flooded by Xicheng, and there is chaos in Xicheng, all kinds of gangsters and beggars are there, and the people of Jixian County will not easily go to Xicheng. Naturally, there are not many of them. ”

"Because of these reasons, Mr. Jiang has not thought about urban development?"

"What? Urban development? ”

"It is to re-plan and renovate Xicheng, change the current pattern, and attract more people to move in."

Jiang Yu really never thought about it, and he didn't know what Bai Song was talking about.

Bai Song simply said bluntly: "I mean, it's better to contract the land of your Xicheng to my Bai family, and my Bai family will pay for the planning and construction of Xicheng." ”

Jiang Yu understood this, and exclaimed: "You mean that you want to buy the land in Xicheng?" ”

"Hmm."

"Which piece do you want?"

Bai Song pointed to the map: "Isn't this already drawn for adults?" ”

Jiang Yu looked at the map and his eyes widened: "What are you kidding?" This is all the land of the West Side. ”

"All I want is all the land in the West Side. I will give a hundred thousand taels of silver. ”

"One hundred thousand taels!" Jiang Yu was taken aback, and said in his heart that it had only been since Bai Song opened the bank, how could he come up with so much money?

"Do you have that much money?"

"One hundred thousand taels will definitely not be paid off at one time, I will pay it in ten years, and I will pay ten thousand taels of silver every year. Now the imperial court has more than ninety percent of the land in Xicheng, but these ninety percent is some waste land that no one wants and no one buys. Instead of holding it in your hands, why don't you sell it to me? The remaining 10% of the land is still in the hands of 2,000 households in Xicheng, I will find a way to buy them all, and then I can re-plan Xicheng, and Xicheng will be the most beautiful scenery in Jixian County in the future. ”

Bai Song had already thought about it, the offer of 100,000 taels was absolutely acceptable to the imperial court, and Bai Song could also accept it, buying land in the county town, the price was equivalent to buying and selling good land, and it was a good thing to find it anywhere.

Bai Song has accumulated a lot of money through the bank, and now it is time to invest.

Bai Song's plan is very simple, that is, to develop real estate in Jixian County.

At present, many Turkic people in the city are still renting houses, and there are quite a lot of people who need to buy houses.

Jiang Yu didn't have much foresight, after listening to Bai Song's proposal, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that he had taken advantage of it, and if he could generate 100,000 taels of silver for the imperial court, it would definitely be a great credit to report to the imperial court.

For this reason, Jiang Yu agreed to Bai Song's deal without thinking about it.

As everyone knows, his casual nod gave the future economic center of Youzhou to Bai Song.

……

Coming out of the Taishou Mansion, I saw a paper posted on the bulletin board at the entrance of the Taishou Mansion, which was written that the registration for the autumn was imminent, and students from all over the country should ask the local teacher to write a letter of recommendation to report if they wanted to participate in the autumn examination.

This is a more important event than the silver ticket of any bank, as soon as the announcement came out, it was surrounded by people, and everyone was talking about it.
