Chapter 144 Good opening

Author: Fengze Fangfei

It's July, but the weather in Lingnan is still very comfortable in the morning.

The construction site in the north of the city has not started yet, but there are people crowded and noisy in front of a flat-floor sales office on the outskirts.

Some were waiting in line, some came to join in the fun, and even some came to consult.

The open space in front of the sales department was crowded with people and it was very lively.

Father Feng looked at the long queue in front of him with shock in his eyes. He said to his eldest son Feng Jin who was queuing up: "You didn't mean that the gentlemen in the city are not optimistic about the north of the city. If they are not optimistic about the north of the city, why are there so many people queuing up today?"

?”

Feng Jin glanced in front of him and said with a grimace: "I squatted in front of the teahouse and asked around. 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."

With that said, he pointed in a circle and asked his father to take a good look at it and not to accuse him wrongly.

Feng Mu, the second eldest brother standing next to Father Feng, was worried that there were too many people in line in front of him, so he chose all the good locations in the store. When he spoke, he complained a little, "Brother, you take it for granted. If I hadn't urged you, you would have

You may still be eating breakfast slowly at home, but when you come back after breakfast, the day lilies may be cold."

Feng Jin defended himself: "I didn't think that the gentlemen in the city were not interested in the north of the city, so there weren't many people competing. Who would have thought that so many people came here even though the gentlemen didn't come!"

Most of the people who came to the north of the city today were from families with small wealth, and there were also a few aristocratic families at the bottom.

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

Father Feng's old face was slightly worried, but his worries were different from Feng Mu's. "If I had known this, I would have come to queue before dawn today. There are quite a few people queuing in front of us now. Waiting."

When it's our turn, someone else may choose the small courtyard in a good location first.

What should I do if the location of the small courtyard I chose is not good and my brother looks at his wife and she dislikes her?"

When Feng Jin heard this, he immediately showed a slight disapproval on his face, "If you ask me, it would be fine for Xiaosi to live with us after getting married. It would be too deserted to buy a separate small courtyard to live separately."

After hearing this, Father Feng glanced at his two sons and said with a solemn face: "Don't forget, the money you spent to buy the small courtyard and shop today was all earned by your brother following the fifth master of the palace. He paid with his life."

With the money he has earned, he is willing to buy a shop for his family because he still cares about your brotherhood.

He doesn’t know how to think about himself. As parents and brothers, we should always think about him. I won’t say more about him who bought a shop and counted it as the father-in-law’s. But for the money he earned with his life by following the Fifth Master to suppress bandits, we have to think about it.

Will he keep a small courtyard?"

The Xiaosi whom Father Feng and the others refer to is Feng Tu, who was the first to sign up at the recruitment office of Fifth Master Li Chengmu during the conscription period.

Because he was the first to sign up, he has been following Li Chengmu, following him on his "conquests in the north and south", and he has become a veteran-level figure under Li Chengmu.

"Dad, we all know Xiaosi's contribution to this family."

Father Feng snorted coldly and hit them, "It's good that you know that if you envy Xiaosi, as long as you can earn enough money to buy a yard and a shop, I can also make the decision to register the yard in your name."

Feng Jin's face turned red, he looked around and whispered: "Dad, aren't you treating us brothers like this? How could we have such an opportunity as Xiao Si? We went directly to the Fifth Master's team and got his

Blue eyes.”

After hearing this, Father Feng glanced at them speechlessly and said earnestly: "So, you brothers should be kinder to your younger brothers. Xiaosi is a grateful child. In the future, he will follow the fifth master and become a successful person.

I will even think about taking care of you, especially your nieces and nephews."

Feng Jin and Feng Mu accepted the teachings humbly and took Father Feng's words to heart. In fact, Xiao Si was the youngest brother and they were usually very nice to him.

This time, I just felt a little envious of him, and my words were not appropriate at the moment.

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

Feng Jin was queuing up, so Feng Mu went to the front to find out the news. When he came back, he said to the father and son: "Do you know who is at the front of the line?"

Feng Jin was curious and asked: "Who is it?"

"They are people from Xiaji Farm on the outskirts of the city. It is said that this farm is the property of the princess, and these people can be regarded as the princess's tenants. But what I didn't expect was that the tenants in the princess' farm were actually so rich!" Feng Mu sighed.

At this time, Father Feng spoke, "I heard from Xiao Si that most of the tenants in the Princess's farm came from Lingnan when they fled with the Prince, and most of their families have people working under the Fifth Master. I guess

If they can afford a shop, they must have received a lot of rewards from following the Fifth Master in suppressing bandits."

For example, their family was able to afford a small courtyard and a shop only because of Feng Tu's reward.

Shopkeepers Li and Ding arrived early and were at the front of the queue. They chose a shop not far from the government office. The prices were naturally not cheap on the main street.

Fortunately, the two of them had some wealth before, otherwise they really wouldn't be able to afford the shops here.

Shopkeeper Li was filled with tears of excitement as he took the freshly released house purchase contract. After years of hard work in Fucheng, he finally had his own shop.

Having a shop gives you a sense of belonging, and you feel like home in Fucheng.

It’s not easy to wander around Fucheng these years!

Shopkeeper Ding looked at him funny, "When the shop is delivered, we can go to the Yamen to apply for the land deed. Once we get the red deed, the shop will truly belong to you and me."

Shopkeeper Li nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, before the store is delivered, we need to keep this contract and don't lose it. Otherwise, we may not be able to find the voucher when applying for the certificate."

Shopkeeper Ding weighed the paper contract in his hand and said with emotion: "After coming to Lingnan for a few months, I finally have an industry in Lingnan. I believe that by following the Wangfu, our future life will be more promising."

Unlike in his hometown, where the land is barren, he has worked hard to make money and can barely survive.

In Lingnan, he met the noble person in his life, and his life became easier than before.

In recent months, there have been iron workshops in the north of the city, and several construction sites have started construction. The flow of people is increasing. Naturally, smart merchants do not dislike the smelly water flowing across the city and the stench in the north, so they rent shops near the north of the city to open.

They opened restaurants, restaurants, grocery stores, etc., and did business as construction site workers and workshop workers.

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

Several groups of young men from aristocratic families have reserved private rooms here.

Sitting in one of the private rooms drinking tea were Tong Song, the eldest young master of the Chen family, and several other high-ranking young men from aristocratic families.

They came to this restaurant near the north of the city in a condescending manner. They were completely attracted by the movements in the city today.

They had already received the news that a real estate project in the north of the city was opening today, but the area in the north of the city was regarded as a lowly place by Lingnan people and did not attract their interest at all.

The reason why it was attracted here today is because the people in the city were running this way. They followed the flow of people and came here to see the strange things.

Lingnan has not been so lively for many years. Looking at the long queue in front of the construction site in the distance, Master Chen waved his fan and said: "We people in Lingnan are really enthusiastic, and they especially admire the princess."

Tong Song snorted, "Why didn't Mr. Chen go to flatter the princess's smelly feet today?"

Recalling that some time ago, the other party secretly bought a lot of snowflakes and salt and shipped it to other places to earn a lot of money, Tong Song felt extremely unbalanced.

Young Master Chen flicked his fan and said with a smile: "If the princess listens to these words, I believe it will be enough for you. In order to live happily, I advise you to be careful with your words, and be careful of trouble coming from your mouth!"

Tong Song didn't believe that he could meet someone from the prince's palace in such a small restaurant, so he snorted coldly without showing any signs of weakness, "You are not afraid of holding up the princess's stinky feet, what should I be afraid of?"

Mr. Chen: "." Vulgar!

Niu Yongcheng, the second son of Niu Debao, the former commander-in-chief of the Lingnan Guard, interrupted and asked: "Do you think the north of the city can really become prosperous? Otherwise, the princess would not have to spend so much effort to transform the north of the city."

The two people who were originally at odds with each other, after hearing Niu Debao's words, their thoughts returned to the north of the city.

Young Master Chen looked at the long queue outside and said nothing.

Tong Song frowned, thought for a while and said: "Perhaps we don't have a complete understanding of the north of the city, or we don't know enough about the palace, so we make generalizations and misunderstand the palace. In fact, the move of Prince Qian's palace to Lingnan is to show weakness to the enemy.

?”

Niu Debao looked at the other people in the private room and asked tentatively, "How about we send someone to understand the situation. If it doesn't work, we can spend some money to buy a few rooms and stock them up?"

Tong Song seemed to be considering what he said and the feasibility of it, "As far as I know, you can pay a down payment for the shops and houses here, and the remaining money can be paid back slowly yearly or monthly. As long as

You can apply for a down payment by paying a certain amount of interest.”

If it weren't for this extremely tempting news, most people wouldn't even consider buying a house.

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

Niu Yongcheng was a little impatient, "If we go by what Master Tong said, then the house in the north of the city may not have to be sold."

As he said that, he looked at the others: "How about we send people to queue up and buy a few units from her in a hurry. If we continue to hesitate, maybe all the properties below will be sold out."

Otherwise, you won’t be able to buy it if you want to buy it once it’s sold out.

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

In fact, everyone is wondering, the princess allows everyone to make a down payment, which is equivalent to giving benefits to the middle and lower class people.

Is it really profitable to do business like this?

Don't just lose money and make money?

Xia Jing's arrival made those young men who had just moved into meditation instantly.

Even if they wanted to buy a shop in the north of the city, they couldn't let Xia Jing find out in person, otherwise they would be so shameless!

This poor self-esteem once again cost them this opportunity to make a fortune.

Xia Jing arrived at the sales department and as soon as she got off the carriage, many people from the farm in the front yard of the sales department recognized her.

"Princess, are you here today?"

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

Yong Gen scratched his head and replied with a silly smile: "My family doesn't have much money, so I just chose the smallest shop, made a down payment, and then I will rely on collecting rent every month to pay off your debt."
