Chapter 2139 Make Money
"Get ready, let's sell watermelon seeds." After eating the watermelon in two or three bites, Chu Heng got up and went to the side to wash his hands.
Ye Muyu heard the words and asked: "Are you going to publicize the watermelon?"
In fact, since the watermelon was grown, the big families in the capital basically tried to buy watermelon and try to grow it by themselves, but the number of seeds was too small.
So people who know watermelon know that it is expensive, but they don’t know much about it, so only a few people value watermelon. The real people only know that it is a rare commodity, and have never thought about planting it.
Before there were no seeds, Ye Muyu naturally didn't bother to promote it.
"That's right. According to your suggestion, the official newspaper has a farming section. The watermelon can be sold at an affordable price. The most important thing is that it can be grown in sandy land. Without fertile land, the people in barren areas will be saved." Chu Heng said while picking up a pen to register the matter.
Prepare to publicize it with the newspaper this time.
"By the way, there is also the story book "Road to the Imperial Examination", which can also be printed more."
Ye Muyu was really happy when he heard it: "Oh, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Now I can make a lot of money."
You must know that there are tens of thousands of students in the capital alone. Not to mention a copy, even if half of them, a book priced at 500 Wen can sell for 2,500 taels.
Haven't considered other potential guests yet, what about other state capitals, more than a dozen state capitals add up, and there is no problem with 30,000 to 40,000 taels.
The deposit can be topped up in an instant.
You must know that recently, Tang Dongfeng went around to help her buy land, build a villa, and buy real estate, but spent a lot of money. There is basically not much savings left at home. If there is an urgent need, he can only withdraw money from the shop.
For people like Ye Muyu to buy real estate and land in every state capital, in the eyes of most aristocratic families, it is an act of prodigal madness.
The reason why an aristocratic family is an aristocratic family is because they have a deep foundation in a certain prefecture, even if they are not an official in the court, they can still be the local emperor.
If there is another capable descendant in any generation, he can lead the family to develop and re-close the lintel.
That's why there is such-and-such Li and such-and-such Wang.
Ye Muyu's family property is distributed in such four places. From their point of view, it means that there is too much money and no place to spend it. After all, it is so scattered and has no foundation in the local area. What's the use of just having a house, Zhuangzi.
Ye Muyu is completely from the perspective of later generations. She bought these Zhuangzi and houses, on the one hand, for investment.
There are more profitable businesses, and buying land is very cheap for her.
On the other hand, it is to store food and find some escape routes by the way.
Of course, if my home is safe and sound all the time, those houses will be convenient to live in when I travel to other places in the future. It is more convenient to live in a hotel than to live in my own home.
Ye Muyu also arranged this way because she has such a small hobby.
As for Chu Heng, knowing his current status, he would die if he really wanted to develop into a family. If Emperor Xuanming knew about it, he would be the first to be dissatisfied with him. The heavy courtiers are under their noses.
You can refer to the change of Emperor Yongzheng's attitude towards Nian Gengyao.
Since Ah Yu can't be allowed to hoard the land generously, he can only wrong her to do what she is doing now.
Ye Muyu wants to achieve land and houses in every place, and the village has to buy people to plant the land. Calculated, the silver taels say it will cost two to three hundred thousand taels.
