The old man shook his head: "It was originally bought by the old master of Concubine Yue's family many years ago. At that time, he bought half a house and wanted to be neighbors with Taigong Zhao. However, the terrain here is low-lying and prone to water accumulation. Later, his family moved to another place.
The local government bought a house and gave half of the land to Lao Chan. In fact, Lao Chan had no use for it, and it simply became a place for nearby residents to dump garbage and filthy items."
"No wonder."
Chu Nanzhi nodded in sudden realization.
Zhao Taigong also didn't live in this mansion, so no one took care of it, so naturally the neighborhood became like this.
She solemnly asked the old man: "Since the old man regards it as an abandoned place, can you sell half of the land to me? Can I give you more money?"
"I heard that the princess is opening a restaurant in Qinghefang in front. This really needs to be improved."
The old man showed a guilty look on his face: "It's my fault too. If we had known earlier that the princess would come here to open a restaurant, we should have told everyone not to throw garbage here. Now I'm afraid it will take a lot of manpower and financial resources to clean it up."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. You don't have the ability to predict the future."
Chu Nanzhi said bluntly: "You always give me a price, and I will buy it and take care of it myself. Maybe I can turn waste into treasure."
"Well, what kind of treasure can this be? It's not facing the street."
The old man thought for a moment and said with a frown: "Since the princess wants it, the whole farm is old and decrepit. If you want to buy it, just buy it together. It needs about three to five hundred acres. The princess will give you five or six hundred taels."
It’s just silver.”
"The old man really looks down on this land. After all, it is a treasured land in the east of the city. The paddy fields outside the city cost tens of taels of silver per acre."
Chu Nanzhi said with a smile: "Let's do this. I'll give you four times the price. How about two thousand taels of silver? Let the old man suffer a little loss."
The old man was stunned for a while.
This princess is just stupid and has too much money.
No matter how good the location of this garbage dump is, it cannot be compared with fertile farmland.
He replied fearfully: "It's necessary. The princess is so old and I really don't dare to accept it. How about you give me a thousand taels of silver. If there is a shortage of manpower to take care of it, I can ask the surrounding residents to help take care of it."
"No need to trouble the old man, I can do it myself."
After saying that, Chu Nanzhi happily took out two thousand taels of silver notes from his arms and handed them to the old man: "You count, you must get two thousand taels. I can't take any less than one tael."
In this way, he wouldn't be able to say much if he earned money in the future.
The old man's face was full of helplessness.
Since the princess had to give him money, he had no choice but to accept it.
Then he hurriedly went back to the house to get the land deed for the entire square and handed it over to Chu Nanzhi.
After seeing the old man off, Lin Jinxiao became gloomy: "Chu Nanzhi, why did you buy such a large abandoned house? The old man also made it very clear. This place is not facing the street and is full of garbage, and the terrain is low-lying.
"
This prodigal woman has two thousand taels of silver, which is almost two years' salary as a governor.
Chu Nanzhi smiled evilly at him: "Lin Dalang, believe it or not, it won't take long for me to make this place more prosperous and lively than Yongning Street and Xinfang City."
"Yes, I believe it."
Lin Jinxiao didn't want to hit her, so he said something perfunctory and pulled her out with a look of helplessness.
Yongning Street became Luyan Port's premier bustling market due to Zhao Taigong's land enclosure.
Nowadays, Xinfang City can naturally become lively due to the construction of new royal palaces, state capitals, and government offices of all sizes. But she just opened a restaurant here, how can it become prosperous?
Besides, there is a garbage dump behind, and the filthy pond in front of us is so smelly that it will probably affect the restaurant's business.
Chu Nanzhi saw that he was perfunctory, so she had to patiently explain to him: "Since ancient times, a place has been prosperous because of its unique factors. This is the reason for failure. But in addition to its own natural conditions, there are also man-made reasons. This
This is the case for Zuofangzi. It is located in the East Market, so the geographical location is not bad. It cannot be prosperous because of man-made reasons. No matter how lively the market is, it is built by people. If there were no Zhao family in Yongning Street, it would be impossible to become Luyan.
The most expensive place in Hong Kong.”
When she said this, Lin Jinxiao thought it made sense, and suddenly wanted to see how she turned waste into treasure.
The quadruplets believed in their mother's words. She had never let them down before. They all cheered and encouraged, "Mom, your restaurant will definitely be the most prosperous place in Luyan Port from now on."
"Well, you still have vision."
Chu Nanzhi glanced at Lin Jinxiao angrily: "You are more knowledgeable than your father, and you are a good son of your mother."
After saying this, he immediately told Sang Qi: "Sang Qi, tomorrow you and Sang Kun will discuss with Butler Zhao and send the handymen to Jushengfang to clean up and transport away the garbage and the courtyard wall of Jushengfang."
Chisel it out, then plant a small flag in the middle of the puddle of water, and then build a few temporary houses along the wall of our courtyard outside Qinghefang."
Sang Qi was a little confused: "Master, what is this for?"
"You don't have to ask any more questions. Remember carefully, starting from tomorrow, no one will be allowed to throw garbage into Jushengfang anymore."
Chu Nanzhi warned her carefully: "But you can ask them to bring more stones and rubble with their children. After cleaning up, I will ask people to hire some shops that make pancakes, dumplings, candied haws and other snacks.
, whoever hits the small flag will be rewarded with a snack."
"Auntie, can we come over and vote?"
Er Baolin Ruixi couldn't wait to ask as soon as she heard that there was food.
"You can come over if you want, but you have to follow Sister Sangqi and play with brother Mu Ci for a while, then go home obediently and study."
Chu Nanzhi warned and quickly looked at Lin Jinxiao.
Lin Jinxiao smiled gracefully, not knowing what kind of trick she was playing, and said gently: "Bring a few more guards here."
Chu Nanzhi responded softly.
After all, the little guys have different identities now, so they do need to be more careful.
Leading everyone to the restaurant, she also began to figure out how to use the entire restaurant.
It's hard to build high-rise buildings these days, and most residential buildings only have two-story attics, which is quite a waste of land.
At any rate, two to three hundred houses of various sizes can be built on an entire farm of about three hundred acres.
After building the outside shops into shops facing the street, it becomes a modern community. When it gathers popularity, there is no need to worry about no one coming to buy a house.
According to the price of the small courtyard I bought before, even a small courtyard of 400 to 500 square meters can be sold for 8900 taels of silver.
In this way, the money for buying and raising horses will come out.
When she arrived in the front yard, she asked Sang Qi to call Butler Zhao and discuss with him: "Butler Zhao, I want to use the craftsmen you hired for the first half of the year."
"Half a year?"
Housekeeper Zhao heard Sang Qi say that it would not be difficult for someone to clean up the filth in Jushengfang, but what she said was surprising: "It doesn't take such a long time to clean up the filth in Jushengfang. There are so many old people."
Send some people there and it will be sorted out in three to five days at most, and there is no need for craftsmen to do it."
After all, a craftsman's day's wages are much more expensive than a handyman's.
"It's not for cleaning up the dirt. I want to build some houses and shops in Jushengfang."
Chu Nanzhi didn't mince words and explained to him directly.
