With the nourishment of whale meat, when the ship arrived at Hangzhou mansion, the people on the ship were ruddy and radiant, which made the officials who received the ship doubt ZHENG Jin. Are you sure these people are really the victims bought by the marine merchant from Haizhou?
"Indeed!" ZHENG Jin took out the deed with the official seal of Haizhou.
"It seems that the disaster in Haizhou is not serious." The official murmured and glanced at the group, roughly closed the number, and then let Ling Qingyu arrange by himself, quickly make room, and the second batch of grain will be loaded.
"Do we have a place for so many people?" Ling Qingyu asked Cai Jingfang who followed the officials.
"Two days ago, I saw that there was a textile workshop and a dyeing workshop that wanted to sell. The price was cheap, so I bought it on my own initiative. You can live with these people there first, but the place is a little far away. I'm afraid it will take some time to walk there." Cai Jingfang said. It's hard to catch up with so many people if they run away on the road.
"Let's just run. We only want those who are willing not to run." Knowing what Cai Jingfang meant, Ling Qingyu said faintly.
"The owner, the courtyard by the West Lake, I have found someone to clean up a small courtyard, but I didn't have time to do so much furniture, and the others are already customized." Cai Jingfang looked at the people on the ship and said, "the head of the family will rest for a few days."
"Good." Ling Qingyu nodded. This route is close to the coastline, and Ding Dong can handle it by herself. Her cabin has been requisitioned by officials. She is really uncomfortable on the ship these days. It's no big deal to think about. Let Ding Dong Shen Zhan lead the team. She really wants to have a rest.
"Lord Zheng, when will the grain be ready?" Ling Qingyu walked up to ZHENG Jin and asked.
"It's estimated to take two days." Zheng Jingang talked to the officer who picked up the ship, and he also wanted to go back and have a rest, and he didn't want to set sail immediately.
"That's good. I want to send some people to send these people to the workshop below. This time I won't be with the ship. I've told them to obey their orders." Ling Qingyu bowed and laughed.
"Also, it's time for Ling to take a rest. I just received a notice that it has rained a little in the past two days, and the water level in the canal has recovered. Some have been transported by the canal. It's estimated that we can make another two trips." Zheng Jindao.
Let a few sailors take the 500 people and the villagers to Longjing mountain, while Ling Qingyu and Yan Sanye 11 take the children to Wujin courtyard by the West Lake.
After arriving at the yard, Ling Qingyu understood what Cai Jingfang meant by saying that five thousand Liang was very cheap.
It's not just five entrances, but the layout of two entrances from the South and five entrances from the north. The layout of the front yard is atmospheric and open, the layout of the backyard is exquisite and elegant, the winding corridor is deep, but it seems that it has been uninhabited for a long time, and the doors and windows are broken. There are gardens between each yard, and the garden is covered with weeds, but behind it, there is a garden surrounded by three yards. The garden is close to the West Lake, and a summer lotus is blooming on the lake, The Flower Shadow Fusu is beautiful.
"The yard plus garden covers an area of more than 30 mu, with a total of 56 buildings and 88 bungalows." Cai Jingfang's proud way. This courtyard was originally the other courtyard of a senior official in Beijing, but now his family is in decline, and this place has been uninhabited. The descendants of the senior official wanted to sell this place, and because they were in a hurry to ask for money, they were taken by him at a low price.
Caijingfang took Ling Qingyu to a courtyard by the lake. This courtyard has been tidied up, not as shabby and desolate as other courtyards, but it seems that because of the tight time, there are still few decorations in the house.

"Eleven, you take them to clean their house." Ling Qingyu said to Ye Xi, who was looking around curiously, "first make do with sleeping, and then see what to add tomorrow."
"The head of the family, do you want to buy some more servant girls?" Caijingfang asked, Ling Qingyu has so much money, if he still does everything by himself, it really doesn't match his identity.
"Don't worry, let's see how many of those people can reach the weaving workshop." Ling Qingyu only brought the children he bought and the orphans Yan San liked. The other children went with the army. Ling Qingyu also told the sailors who led the way to untie all their ropes. If someone wanted to run on the road, he didn't have to chase them, just to see how many people he could leave in the end.
"Small dish, you bought the weaving workshop and dyeing workshop?" Ling Qingyu found a chair to sit down, rubbed his neck and asked. When she left, she left 50000 Liang for caijingfang.
"Am I such a incompetent person?" Cai Jingfang patted his chest and took out his sandalwood abacus and account books, Avenue: "You see, there is a bookstore near Lin'an here. The price has been negotiated and the ownership can be transferred in two days. The spice shop and medicine shop have been handed over and can be opened in a few days. There are also those shops in Dongshi. I want to rent them out and take them back when I find a good business. There is a big restaurant near the West Lake. Business has always been good, but now the owner wants cash, so I want to transfer them out, but the price is relatively expensive and it needs cash Thirty thousand liang of silver, it's up to you to make a decision. There is also a shop in the west market. I think it's good to make a silk shop. We already have a weaving workshop, and a silk shop can also do some local business. "
Ling Qingyu nodded unconsciously. This caijingfang is really a genius in business. He has sharp eyes, accurate judgments, and is ruthless in his actions. He is also very meticulous. Before she left, she just gave him some ideas, so he could connect them and judge. Silk, porcelain, and books are the most popular goods in fanwai. Most of the goods brought back from fanwai are spices, medicinal materials, and treasures, and restaurants have been the fastest place for information circulation since ancient times. Now that we have our own weaving workshop, dyeing workshop and book workshop, we have a certain guarantee of the supply to foreign countries. Well, we should set up another distillery, which can also make money outside China. Unfortunately.
"I wanted to find a distillery, but unfortunately, the wine here in Hangzhou mansion is very weak, not as strong as that in the north, and the wine makers are their own secret recipes, and they won't take it out. There are fields, which I have been looking for these days, but Hangzhou Mansion is rich, and most of the fields sold are one mu and two mu, which is too scattered, so we need to wait. You gave 50000 Liang, the yard, the spice shop, the medicine shop, and several scattered shops money, which is already there It has been paid. The 300 mu mulberry forest near the weaving workshop and dyeing workshop belt is a total of 3800 Liang. The bookstore is connected with the water source and the river reed field nearby. The 100 mu land is a total of onethousand Liang. The renovation of the spice shop and the medicinal material shop cost fifty-eight Liang. The original shopkeepers and sitting doctors of the two shops were willing to stay. According to your instructions, they signed a contract. I didn't dare to make a final determination on the restaurant side, and I placed a deposit of onethousand Liang. The repair cost of the yard was twohundred Liang, The shop that can be made into a silk shop is not expensive, and there are two two small courtyards in the back, a total of 800 Liang. The total is 6858 Liang. " Cai Jingfang hit the abacus and said. When on board, Ling Qingyu handed over his Arabic numerals and modern accounting methods, which made him more determined to follow her. Moreover, Ling Qingyu also gave him 10% of the business and store he was responsible for.
Looking at caijingfang's abacus and bookkeeping, Ling Qingyu couldn't help feeling it. Sure enough, when are you talented! Cai Jingfang, who dared to go to sea with a couple of coins, was really talented in arithmetic. He not only accepted Arabic numerals and accounting methods, but also had his own set of methods for calculating sales profits. With such a person, she can let him lay a foundation in Hangzhou and take the boat out to sea by herself.
"If there is something useful for those people, the weaving workshop and dyeing workshop can be opened as soon as possible. You can take down the restaurant, and the silk shop can also be opened first. Small dishes, so many shops open at the same time, you have a heavy burden." Ling Qingyu looked at Cai Jingfang and laughed.
"I'm not afraid. I'm just in charge. The medicine shops and spice shops are fine. With our own goods here, the profits are high, but those other shops, especially the restaurants, are afraid that they can keep their profits for some time, and they can't make much money." Caijingfang frowned slightly and said that this was also the reason why he saw the restaurant at first sight, but only put the deposit and didn't start completely. Although the restaurant's business is very good now, it depends on the chef's skills and contacts. The chef can think of ways to keep the original, but the restaurant originally belonged to a large family in Hangzhou, but the owner was promoted to Beijing official and took the whole family to Bianliang, Many guests of the restaurant go for the fame of the owner of the restaurant, which is hard to recover.
"The newly opened shop has lost money in the first half of the year. Don't worry about these. Why, is there anything else wrong with the restaurant?" Looking at Cai Jingfang's expression, Ling Qingyu asked.
Caijingfang pondered for a moment and told the details of the restaurant. Lingqingyu understood as soon as she heard it. Zhou Shangwen, a romantic scholar, is even more respected. The West Lake has a good scenery, and it is a place that pays attention to celebrities. If the owner doesn't say what official he is, he must be a celebrity. In the final analysis, it's a celebrity effect. This is really a bit difficult. Literati originally despised merchants, not to mention women. If she opened the restaurant, I'm afraid she won't come because of her fame. No wonder Cai Jingfang is not sure.
"Don't worry about it. Take it first. There's always a way." Ling Qingyu thought for a moment and said. There are not many restaurants with good locations. It's good to occupy the thatched cottage first. As for soliciting customers, there are always ways.
"Well, it's really a good location, surrounded by lakes and official roads leading directly to the city. It's not far away." Cai Jingfang nodded. He also felt that such a place would be a treasure, even if he didn't open a restaurant and set up a study building for himself in the future.
"Surrounded by lakes and buildings outside?" Ling Qingyu asked unconsciously. It can't be true? Is it the famous building outside the building, the delicious building outside the building called Huaji?
"Lou Wailou, that's a good name. Why don't we use that name?" Cai Jingfang's eyes lit up. Although the original name of the restaurant was elegant, it was very difficult to remember. If you use an outside building, the name is easy to remember, but it can also be aimed at some medium-sized customers. Once he figured it out, Cai Jingfang said with another smiling face, "in this way, plus the restaurant has a balance of 29000 Liang, there are still 12142 Liang left."
"Well, you keep it as working capital. If you have some larger fields, you still need to buy some. Among the people brought back from Haizhou this time, there are many literate and some teenagers," Ling Qingyu smiled bitterly. ZHENG Jin thought those were to be sold in the waiter's house, looking for some beautiful teenagers, but they were all innocent. If you are willing to stay, you might as well give a way out, Then he said, "you should choose some tomorrow and teach them under your hand. We should always cultivate our own confidants."
