"If it had not been your idea, I would not have made so much money this time." Jiang Mingzhao took a fan and knocked on the table. "This time I'm looking for you not only to share with you the profits from this voyage, but also to please you."
"What's the matter?" Lu Yunkai put the box full of banknotes under his left hand and said in a low voice.
Jiang Mingzhao said with a smile, "the capital city has handed over the construction of the wharf to the governor of Lingnan."
Lu Yunkai leaned against the chair and said in a low voice, "what's the relationship with me?"
"It doesn't matter. It has a lot to do with you." Jiang Mingzhao can't help saying.
"I'm not in charge of the Yamen of the state government. I'm not in charge of repairing docks." Lu Yunkai looked at Jiang Mingzhao with a smile. "If it's OK, I'll go back first. Remember to tell me when I go to sea next time."
"Hey." Jiang Mingzhao raised his hand and pressed Lu Yunkai's right hand, "don't worry, listen to me first."
"Come on, there's so much nonsense." Lu Yunkai was a little impatient. Just then, he suddenly thought that today was the 10th day of March. If he waited for more than ten days, he might not be suitable for an outing. So he thought that after Yu Jiang Mingzhao's talk, he would go to Hanshan Temple.
Jiang Mingzhao had been used to the two people's talking state for a long time, but he didn't care. "You know what the relationship between our Jiang family and the magistrate is. We took over the job of building the wharf."
Lu Yunkai doesn't care and says congratulations.
Jiang Mingzhao said: "our Jiang family has a good eye on a piece of land, which is half an hour away from Kuaima in Qingjiang county."
Lu Yunkai thought about it and guessed the place they had decided. He looked up at Jiang Mingzhao and waited for his next words.
"That piece of land extends in all directions, and it's the place used as a camp when the wharf was built, and it's very convenient to build." Jiang Mingzhao stopped, "I just came to Qingjiang County for this land."
Lu Yunkai gently rubbed his fingers on the teacup. His wife used to sell food in the camp. Is this land in her hands now?
"But the land was sold." Jiang Mingzhao definitely looked at Lu Yunkai, "do you know whose hand it is?"
Lu Yunkai raised his eyebrows: "in my wife's hand?"
"Yes, I checked it for a long time, but I didn't expect it was in the hands of my sister-in-law." Jiang Mingzhao laughs, "why would my sister-in-law buy a piece of land so far away from the village?"
Lu Yunkai frowned, "do you doubt us?"
"No, it's just a coincidence. I'm really surprised." Jiang Mingzhao opened the folding fan and said, "for the sake of our long-term friendship, can we ask my younger sister to give up and sell me that piece of land?"
Lu Yunkai did not speak.
Jiang Mingzhao said: "I have the right to build the wharf. It's useless for my sister-in-law to hold the land. I'm willing to pay ten times more for the land she owns."
Lu Yunkai took a sip of tea. His wife estimated that when she was selling food in the camp, she saw the value of the land and bought it. "I can't decide this. If you are sincere, you can discuss it with your wife."
Song Xintong was a little surprised when he was invited to the hall. After Jiang Mingzhao spoke, he realized what was the matter. The right to develop the land fell to this person.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. As long as you are willing to give up, I will never let sister-in-law suffer."
Song Xintong nodded, sat upright, changed his gentle and charming temperament, and became strong. "Mr. Jiang loves me so much. If I think it's feasible, I'll give it to Mr. Xu."
Lu Yunkai took a look at his wife and thought that she was really cute. She didn't cut in and drank tea.
Jiang Mingzhao looked at Song Xintong, who was totally different from Song Xintong in the teahouse before, and then he said, "I'm willing to pay ten times the price to buy the land in my sister-in-law's hands."
It used to be 12.1 mu, but now it has become 12.1 mu. Anyone will be grateful to accept it.
Of course, song Xintong is not included.
Song Xintong smiles. Instead of responding directly, he asks, "why does Mr. Jiang have to buy my land? As far as I know, there's nothing good about that piece of land. "
Jiang Mingzhao said with a smile, "to tell you the truth, I plan to build a wharf here."
Song Xintong pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, still light said: "so it is."
Jiang Mingzhao was a little speechless. How could the couple emphasize that everything was light and in no hurry? He looked very anxious. "If my sister-in-law thinks the price is too low, I can add another 500 Liang."
"Young master Jiang is really rich and powerful." Song Xintong smiles, "but I don't sell it."
Jiang Mingzhao sank his face and felt that song Xintong really loved money. Didn't he want another thousand liang?
This land is the most suitable place to build a wharf, and it is close to several counties in Qingjiang. If you go to other places, you need to walk around for an hour or two. It's really not cost-effective.
If only silver is OK.
Jiang Mingzhao hesitated, "I'll add another thousand Liang."
Song Xintong smiles, "Mr. Jiang, I said I don't sell it."
"You..." Jiang Mingzhao was not happy, but before he said anything, song Xintong said, "I'll give it to Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Mingzhao's words choked in his throat. He immediately looked at Lu Yunkai and song Xintong. "Are you serious, sister-in-law?"
"Seriously." Song Xintong nodded.
"Thank you, brother and sister." Jiang Mingzhao arched his hand and said, "if my younger sister and sister have any requirements in the future, you can tell me that as long as I can do it, I can promise you."
Song Xintong smile, "that's just right, I really have a request."
Jiang Mingzhao obviously froze for a while, "brother and sister, please say."
"After Mr. Jiang built the wharf, can you give me three pavements?" Song Xintong said.
Jiang Mingzhao was stunned, but he couldn't take back what he said. He thought that after the wharf was built, besides the big warehouse, at least two or three streets would be built. At that time, at least dozens of shops would be built. It's also a simple matter to give just three shops. "According to my sister-in-law, is there any other requirements for my sister-in-law?"
"I hope that the three shops will not be too biased. I also hope that Mr. Jiang will give us shelter in the future." Song Xintong looked back at Lu Yunkai, who was drinking tea with a smile, and then said, "the title deed is at home. When master Jiang is free, he can send someone to pick it up in Taohua village."
"Now." Jiang Mingzhao said.
"It's going to ring tomorrow." Lu Yunkai got up and arched his hand to Jiang Mingzhao. "My wife and I are going to visit outside the city, so we won't bother. Goodbye."
Jiang Mingzhao wanted to stay, but he couldn't, so he could only watch them leave.
Song Xintong did a carriage frame, said: "your friend is really a businessman?"
"He's just belittling the enemy." Lu Yunkai laughed. "I guess I'm repenting now."
"Will the three shops promised me not be given?" Song Xintong asked anxiously.
"Let him write." Lu Yunkai asked, "if it's not set up, it won't be given to him."
"It's all up to Xianggong." Song Xintong smiles and looks at the crabapple flowers all over the mountains in front of him. His heart is filled with joy. "This crabapple forest is really beautiful."
