A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

Chapter 197: Selling the shop, people from all sides come

Huang Mulin pulled out a thin bamboo pole from behind the movable wooden board and pointed at the drawing.

"I use the four shops here for my own use."

The two buildings on the left and right closest to the coast have been marked with the words "for personal use" by Huang Mulin.

There are four rooms, one for each of the four brothers. This was the result of discussion between Huang Mulin and Huang Bo and his wife.

"From these four shops to the south entrance of the town, the price of every fifth shop decreases by 200 taels."

From the south entrance of the town, there is a row of shops on each side, closely connected, of the same size, with front and back yards. Behind the two rows of shops, there is a high wall five meters away for protection.

Huang Mulin placed her shop in the front, firstly for commercial purposes, and secondly, she would ask experts in the organization to serve as guards. If pirates or other people unfortunately invaded from here, her people would be able to know in advance and reduce losses.

Of course, this was a secret plan.

There is a city gate ten meters away from the front row of shops. In the future, she will arrange guards to take turns on duty around the clock, on the surface to reassure the merchants who buy or rent the shops.

The four of them looked at the extremely detailed drawings of the painting, with confused thoughts in their minds.

“I want these six.”

Tang Jide directly pointed out six places, counting from the four shops kept by Huang Mulin, three on each side.

"Sure." Huang Mulin said, "But the total price may be very high."

Huang Mulin has not yet decided on the price of each shop.

Building shops, city walls, repairing roads, digging canals to divert water, etc., would require a large amount of silver and money. Yang Hui said that he had it, but if she took out so much silver and money at once, the emperor would be suspicious.

Therefore, she planned to do as she did in her previous real estate life, selling the properties first, gathering some funds, and then building.

"I believe in the county lord."

Although Huang Mulin has not yet explained her original intention of building these shops, he believes that she must have done something very surprising.

The money you spend will come back sooner or later, maybe even sooner.

Huang Mulin was very satisfied with Tang Jide's understanding, and was thinking about letting his guards take care of his shop more in the future.

"Then I'll take these two."

Mr. Jia gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try.

Each shop costs tens of thousands of taels, and buying two would almost cost you all your fortune.

But he vaguely understood that if he didn't take a gamble now, he would regret it in the future.

"it is good."

Huang Mulin agreed and looked at Manager Song and Manager Ge: "What do you think?"

Managers Song and Ge are in a dilemma!

They saw that Tang Jide and Jia Yuanwai made the decision directly. Based on their understanding of Tang Jide, this would definitely be a profitable deal. However, they had no right to decide!

This is tens of thousands of taels of silver!

They don’t have the ability to take it over, nor do they dare to.

"...County Lord..." Steward Ge asked Huang Mulin bitterly, "Can you pay the deposit first? I can only give you an answer after I have asked my family."

"It's the same here, little man."

Manager Song followed up with the conversation.

At this time, they even thought that their family should be like the Tang family and directly send someone who can make decisions over, instead of always being left behind!

Huang Mulin thought about it and said, "Okay, the deposit for each room is 500 taels, and the deadline is one month. If you finally decide not to want it, the deposit will not be refunded."

"Okay okay."

The two managers, Song and Ge, happily agreed.

"You guys have to make up your mind too~"

"clear."

Tang Jide and Jia Yuanwai responded.

"Let me explain first." Huang Mulin asked An Ning to mark the drawing and said, "Not less than ten thousand taels does not mean only ten thousand taels. It could be tens of thousands of taels. I haven't determined the price yet."

Except for Tang Jide, the expressions of the other three changed.

"But what I can guarantee is that you will definitely earn back the money you spend."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hesitation in their hearts was shattered.

"Thank you, County Lord, for your support."

"It should."

At this time, Huang Mulin winked at An Ran, and An Ran understood. She went to the side hall and pushed out another movable wooden board and placed it together with the previous one.

"this?......"

“This will be a huge treasure trove.”

Even if Huang Mulin did not emphasize those words, when the four of them saw every amazing product in the drawings, they were already absolutely sure that they had made the right decision today!

Huang Mulin warned them to keep it confidential, asked them to go back first, and said that he would announce the actual price in three days.

The four people left in a daze and a little crazy.

Many people who were concerned knew that the Tang, Song, and Ge families, as well as the local gentry Jia Yuanwai, had gone to Xiushan Village to look for Huang Mulin.

Soon, another group of people went to Xiushan Village on the day the notice was posted.

Lei Xin, President of Tianjingfu Chamber of Commerce

Lou Qianzheng, a merchant from Bofeng County

Mingdefu merchants Shi Han and Tai Jiaye

Mu Ziqi's younger brother Mu Shaolan

Qu Chao, the owner of the Yongqing Prefecture Shipyard

Yongqing Prefecture Merchant Zong Hengxin

Wan Wenyi, the third cousin of Wan Wenfang's family in Changling Mansion

Wen Zitai, a merchant from Changling Prefecture

Beijing merchants Gao Peng and Bi Xuerui

Zhao Guanxu, a descendant of Zhao Wenbo's family who does business

A long line of luxurious carriages entered Xiushan Village, attracting many villagers to stop and watch. Huang Dachuan stood outside his house and watched from afar. He took a puff of his pipe and thought about what Huang Mu had said to him at the beginning, with a smile on his face.

Xiushan Village is truly on the rise.

Butler Zou welcomed them into the reception room and arranged for them to sit down. An Ran brought in a pot of tea, bowed to everyone, and then walked to the tea table nearby.

Make tea.

Warming the cup, adding tea, moistening the tea, brewing the tea, serving the tea, and dividing the tea are as smooth as flowing water. If they didn't know where they are now, they would almost think that they are in a very tasteful teahouse at this moment.

Make friends over tea.

"My Lords, please have some tea."

The other maids hurried forward and brought them the divided tea.

Everyone took a look and their eyes lit up.

Good tea.

"This tea? ..."

Gao Peng couldn't help but speak.

"This is some tea leaves that my master grew in his spare time. It's called Red Clothes."

You can’t buy it outside.

A group of people looked at each other. Although they knew nothing about each other except their opponents/acquaintances who came from the same place, it did not prevent them from communicating or exploring through subtle glances and movements.

Just then, a woman and a child walked in from outside.

An Ran and the others hurriedly saluted: "Mrs. Yu, Miss."

At home, they all call Yang Lijun and Huang Mulin like this.

The others quickly stood up from their seats and saluted.

"Mrs. the Duke, Your Excellency the County Lord."

As to why they knew Yang Lijun's identity, it was naturally because they guessed it from the names given by An Ran and others.

Madam Yu, Yu Zhenzhou’s wife, is the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo.

Huang Mulin is the adopted daughter of Yu Zhenzhou and Yang Lijun, and everyone in the world knows it.

After Yang Lijun and Huang Mulin sat at the top, Yang Lijun said, "No need to be polite, just sit down."

Then he said to Steward Zou and others, "You can go down."

"Yes."

Only An Ning and An Ran were left to serve Huang Mulin.
