Liang Dong, Xu Qubing, Lu Lin and the others, as well as the officials and wealthy businessmen of Ningyuan County, had already gone back.
Lu Fang still stayed in Xinqingxi Fang, eating with He Zhigao and others.
He Zhigao now also knew that Lu Fang wanted to sell Xinqingxi Fang, so he was naturally very puzzled.
Just after dinner, he dragged Lu Fang to the room and asked hurriedly: "Master Lu, you want to sell Xinqingxi Fang? Why?"
Lu Fang had never been angry with them before.
"hehe."
Lu Fang chuckled and patted He Zhigao on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. I also left 20% of the shares for you and your son. This should be enough to make you rich and powerful in this life."
"no."
He Zhigao said even more eagerly: "Now is the time when Qingxi Fang is prospering, and we are about to make money. Why do you want to sell it, Mr. Lu?"
In fact, Qingxifang is already profitable now.
Excluding the money used to build a new workshop, there is still a surplus from the previous profits.
Lu Fang sighed secretly in his heart and said: "I am a scholar. Taking exams and becoming an official in the court is the right way."
Naturally, he couldn't tell He Zhigao the real reason.
Now, he just wants to clear up the relationship with He Zhigao.
In fact, Lu Fang has been thinking about this issue in recent days.
After he and Lu Liang rebelled, they became traitors. It was only a matter of time.
In this way, whether it is one's own property or people related to oneself, it will inevitably become something that the Chongqing court wants to eliminate.
The Bestore, the winery, the three new workshops, and his house in Ningyuan County are all fixed assets and cannot be taken away.
But these can all be resold and turned into cash.
The difficulty is people.
Fu'er, Zhu'er and the others are too close to me. If there is an uprising one day, it will be impossible for them to get rid of the relationship even if they want to.
When the time comes, leaving them in Ningyuan County will mean letting them die.
Even Zou Yi is likely to be implicated.
Only He Zhigao and his family would be able to keep the winery if it were transferred to Liang Dong in the future.
After all, they don't know that they are remnants of the previous dynasty.
For some reason, he had a vague premonition. A premonition that a storm was coming.
Ever since I got the news that there might be chaos on the border, this premonition has been lingering in my mind.
If the time comes, Liang Hanmin really sends Lu Liang to continue to suppress the bandits, how will Lu Liang deal with himself?
Lu Fang felt that there was a high probability that he would revolt.
As his biological brother, he had no other choice but to prepare early.
It's about time.
"But even so, you don't need to sell it! My father and I are watching over the winery, so there won't be any trouble. If you sell the winery now, aren't you just pushing the money out?"
He Zhigao said.
He knows how valuable Xinqingxi Fang is now.
Lu Fang just shook his head and said no more, "I have made up my mind, so be it!"
He Zhigao's face became even more anxious, but he didn't know how to persuade him.
Lu Fang paused and then said: "From now on, you can live a good life here at Qingxifang. We...if I win the prize, I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities for us to meet."
He Zhigao's expression was full of complexity. He opened his mouth, but still didn't know what to say.
He knew that Ningyuan County alone was not enough for Lu Fangshi to develop his ambitions. But he never thought that the fate between him and Lu Fang would end so soon.
"Master Lu, you will always be our He family's great benefactor."
After a long while, He Zhigao said suddenly.
Lu Fang smiled and said, "I'm not really a benefactor. I just came to your house because I wanted to open a winery on a whim."
After that, he patted He Zhigao on the shoulder and walked out.
In fact, why doesn't he want to make Qingxifang bigger and stronger? Why doesn't he want to keep the golden rice bowl of Qingxifang in his hands?
It's a pity that he can't hold on at all.
…
A few more days.
New crops such as millet pepper, horn pepper and potatoes appeared in the vegetable market in Ningyuan County.
This was all released intentionally by Lu Fang.
With the opening of Xinqingxi Fang, He Zhigao's family and those who worked in the winery before, such as He Wansu, Ge Cun and others, all moved to Xinqingxi Fang.
The two original courtyards were now vacant.
This is all Lu Fang's property.
Lu Fang asked Li Mu to go to the street and recruit a dozen people.
Prepare the seeds to be given to farmers.
Now, the millet peppers, horn peppers, and potatoes recovered from the Wang and Xu families are piled in these two yards.
This is a ready-made seed.
The seeds of peppers are inside the peppers, and the potatoes can be cut directly into slices.
However, to ensure the survival rate of seeds, careful screening and other steps are required. It cannot just be handed over to farmers directly.
Even though he knew that an uprising would be a matter of time, Lu Fang did not want to give up on it.
After all, Ningyuan County is the place where I made my fortune.
Even if you are a neighbor from Fuze.
He divided a few more people from the dozen or so people to sell vegetables on the street.
I just want to see if the people in Ningyuan County can accept these new crops.
Not surprisingly, it will take a long time for this kind of thing to become popular in Jingnan County and Dayu.
And what he has to do now is to light this primer.
On this day, the two people sent by Liang Dong to estimate the value of Xinqingxi Fang finally came to the Bestore to find Lu Fang.
They had already stayed at Xinqingxifang for two days under He Zhigao's arrangement.
"call……"
When he walked into the store with two estimators, He Zhigao breathed a sigh of relief.
Before coming, he had already checked out the conversations between these two people.
Mr. Lu should be satisfied with the price.
It was not in vain that he had spent these two days. In this way, he could barely repay Master Lu's kindness.
He said that Lu Fang was a great benefactor to his family, and he was not just talking politely.
Think back to the beginning, when Lu Fang first asked his father to be the manager of the wine shop, what was the situation like in their family?
I have to sell my house and go back to the countryside. It can be said that I am completely destitute.
Now, Xinqingxifang covers an area of hundreds of acres, and is the new royal wine in Dayu.
The 20% shares Lu Fang gave them will most likely make the He family the richest man in Ningyuan County in the future.
More importantly, the money to build the new Qingxi Fang and the way to turn Qingxi Brewing into royal brewing belonged to Lu Fang.
Lu Fang was giving them all his wealth in vain.
After entering the door and saying hello to Fu'er, He Zhigao led two estimators to the backyard.
Lu Fangzheng and Chen Youxi were enjoying the warm winter sun in the yard. Lu Fang was lying on the deck chair, and Chen Youxi was squeezing his shoulders from behind.
"Master Lu."
He Zhi shouted loudly.
Lu Fang, who was enjoying with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, saw the two people behind He Zhigao, nodded, "Coming?"
"Master Lu."
The two estimators bowed their hands to Lu Fang.
They all also know that this person is a good friend of His Royal Highness.
Lu Fang stood up, held his hands in return, and asked with a smile: "Have you estimated it?"
The two estimators exchanged glances, and the one on the left said: "That's almost it. Mr. Lu, His Royal Highness has entrusted the two of us with full authority to take charge of this matter. How about you speak frankly?"
In fact, they are all the shopkeepers of the Lu Lin family, and Liang Dong brought them here to take charge of this matter.
