The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!

In July, the weather in Lingnan is still very comfortable in the morning.

The construction site in the north of the city has not yet started, but there are crowds of people in front of the sales department of a flat-floor building on the outskirts, and the voices of people are noisy.

There are those waiting in line, some who come to join in the fun, and some who come to consult.

The open space in front of the sales department was full of people, very lively.

Father Feng looked at the long queue in front of him, his eyes were full of shock, and he said to his eldest son Feng Jin who was queuing up: "Didn't you say that the gentlemen in the city are not optimistic about Chengbei? Since they are not optimistic, why are there so many people queuing today?" ?”

Feng Jin glanced ahead, and said with a bitter face: "I squatted in front of the teahouse and asked many times. The nobles in the city are 100% not optimistic about the north of the city, but most of the people who came today are not those nobles."

As he said that, he pointed at the circle and asked his father to take a good look at it, so don't wrong him.

The second child, Feng Mu, who was standing next to Father Feng, was worried that there were too many people queuing up in front of him, so he chose all the good locations of the shop, and complained a little when he opened his mouth, "Brother, you take it for granted. If I didn't urge you, you You may still be eating breakfast slowly at home now, and when you come back after breakfast, the day lily may be cold."

Feng Jin defended himself and said: "I didn't think that the gentlemen in the city were not interested in the north of the city, so there were not many people competing. Who would have thought that so many people would come here without the gentlemen!"

Most of the people who come to the north of the city today are from families with small assets, and there are also a few families at the bottom of the row.

Feng Mu couldn't hide his worry, and said to Father Feng, "Father, there are so many people today, when it's our turn, will all the good shops be snatched up?"

Father Feng's old face was slightly worried, but his worry was different from Feng Mu's, "If I knew this, I should have come to line up before dawn today. Now there are quite a lot of people queuing in front of us. Wait When it is our turn, the small courtyard with a good location may be chosen first by others.

The location of the small courtyard chosen at that time is not good, what should you do if your younger brother looks at your daughter-in-law and the woman dislikes her? "

When Feng Jin heard this, a slight expression of disapproval appeared on his face, "If you want me to say, it's fine for Xiao Si to live with us after she gets married. It's too lonely to buy a small courtyard and live separately."

After hearing this, Father Feng glanced at his two sons, and said with a serious face: "Don't forget, the money you bought for the courtyard and the shop today was all brought back by your younger brother and the fifth master of the Wangfu. He is willing to buy a store for his family with the money he got back because he still cares about your brotherhood.

He doesn't know how to think about himself. As parents and brothers, we always have to think about him. I won't say much about those who bought a shop and counted it as a public house. Does he keep a small courtyard? "

The little four that Father Feng and the others were talking about was Feng Tu who was the first to sign up at Fifth Lord Li Chengmu's conscription office during the conscription.

Because he was the first one to sign up, he has been under Li Chengmu's command all the time. Following his "conquest in the south and north", he can be regarded as a veteran figure under Li Chengmu's command.

"Father, we are all aware of Xiao Si's contribution to this family."

Father Feng snorted coldly, and beat them, "It's good that you know, if you envy Xiao Si, as long as you can earn money to buy the yard and shop, I can also decide to register the yard under your name."

Feng Jin's face turned red, he looked around, and whispered: "Father, don't you mean us brothers, how could we have such an opportunity as Xiaosi, we went directly to the fifth master's team and got his Blue eyes."

Hearing this, Old Man Feng glanced at them speechlessly, and said earnestly: "So, you brothers should be kind to your younger brother. Xiao Si is a grateful child. From now on, he will follow Fifth Master to great success. I will even think about taking care of your few rooms, especially the nephews and nieces at the bottom."

Feng Jin and Feng Mu were educated humbly, and kept Father Feng's words in their hearts. In fact, Xiaosi is the youngest brother, and they usually treat him very well.

This time, I just envied him a little in my heart, and my words were inappropriate.

The two brothers decided silently in their hearts that they would not do it next time.

There was Feng Jin queuing up, so Feng Mu went to the front to find out the news, and said to the father and son when he came back: "Do you know who is at the front?"

Curious, Feng Jin asked, "Who is it?"

"They are people from Xiaji Farm in the suburbs of the city. It is said that this farm is the property of the princess, and these people are also tenants of the princess. It's just that I didn't expect that the tenants in the farm of the princess are so rich!" Feng Mu said with emotion.

At this moment, Old Man Feng spoke up, "I heard from Xiaosi that most of the tenants in Wangfei's estate are from Lingnan who came with Wangfu when they fled. Moreover, most of their families have people who work under Fifth Master's tent. I guess They can afford shops, they must have won a lot of rewards following the fifth master to suppress the bandits."

For example, their family can afford small courtyards and shops, all thanks to Feng Tude's rewards.

Shopkeeper Li and Shopkeeper Ding came early and were at the front of the line. They chose a shop not far from the government office. The price was naturally not cheap on the main street.

Fortunately, the two of them used to have a bit of money, otherwise they really couldn't afford the shops here.

Shopkeeper Li held the freshly released house purchase contract, with tears of excitement in his eyes. After years of hard work in Fucheng, he finally owned a shop of his own.

With shops, there is a sense of belonging, and there is also a feeling of home in Fucheng.

It's not easy to wander in Fucheng these years!
Shopkeeper Ding looked at him amusedly, "When the store is handed over, we can go to the Yamen to apply for the title deed. The store will truly belong to you and me when we get the red deed."

Shopkeeper Li nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, before the store is handed over, we have to keep this contract and don't lose it, otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to find the certificate when applying for the certificate."

Shopkeeper Ding weighed the paper contract in his hand, and said with emotion: "I have been in Lingnan for a few months, and I finally have a property in Lingnan. I believe that following the palace, we will have more hope in our future life."

Unlike in his hometown, where the land is barren, he has worked hard to make money, but he can barely make ends meet.

But in Lingnan, he met the noble person in his life, and his life was easier than before.

In the past few months, there have been iron workshops in the north of the city, and several construction sites have started, and the flow of people is increasing. Naturally, there are clever merchants who don't dislike the stinky water in the north of the city. They opened restaurants, restaurants, grocery stores, etc., and worked as construction site workers and workshop workers.

Today, in the restaurant near the north of the city, the private rooms on the second floor are very lively.

Several gangs of aristocratic families have reserved private rooms here.

In one of the private rooms, sitting and drinking tea were Tong Song, the young master of the Chen family, and several other high-ranking family members.

They condescendingly came to this restaurant near the north of the city, completely attracted by the movement in the city today.

The real estate in the north of the city opened today, and they had already heard the news, but in the hearts of Lingnan people, the north of the city was a cheap place, which did not arouse their interest at all.

The reason why people came here today is because the people in the city ran to this side, and they followed the flow of people to see the strange things.

Lingnan has not been so lively for many years. Looking at the long queue in front of the construction site in the distance, Young Master Chen waved his fan and said: "Our people in Lingnan are really enthusiastic, and they especially praise the princess."

Tong Song snorted, "Why didn't Eldest Young Master Chen go to flatter the princess' stinky feet today?"

Recalling that some time ago, the other party secretly bought a lot of snowflake salt and transported it to other places to earn a lot of money, Tong Song felt extremely unbalanced.

Young Master Chen shook his fan and said with a smile: "If the concubine listens to this, I believe it will be enough for you. In order to live a happy life, I advise you to be careful when you speak, and be careful not to speak out!"

Tong Song didn't believe that he could meet people from the palace in such a small restaurant, so he snorted coldly without showing any weakness, "You are not afraid of the stinky feet of the princess, what am I afraid of?"

Young Master Chen: "." Vulgar!
Niu Yongcheng, the second son of Niu Debao, the former chief soldier of Lingnan Guards, interjected and asked, "Do you think the north of the city can really become prosperous? Otherwise, the princess wouldn't be able to make such a big effort to transform the north of the city."

The two people who were originally at odds, after listening to Niu Debao's words, their minds returned to the north of the city.

Young Master Chen looked at the long line outside and said nothing.

Tong Song frowned, thought for a while and said, "Perhaps we don't know enough about the north of the city, or we don't know enough about the palace, so we misunderstood the palace. ?”

Niu Debao looked at the other people in the private room, and asked tentatively, "Why don't we send someone to find out the situation, if it doesn't work, we can buy a few rooms and stock them up with some money?"

Tong Song seemed to be thinking about what he said, considering the feasibility of the words, "As far as I know, all the shops and houses here can pay a down payment first, and the remaining money can be paid back gradually yearly or monthly. As long as You can apply for a down payment after paying a certain amount of interest.”

If it weren't for this very tempting news, most people would not consider buying a house in reality.

It is unrealistic for them to spend their entire life savings to buy a house. They naturally think that it is enough to live in the house, and if they insist on it for a year, a few years, or a dozen years, it will pass.

Niu Yongcheng was a little impatient, "If we follow what Master Tong said, then the house in the north of the city may not worry about selling."

As he said that, he looked at the others: "Why don't we send people to queue up to buy her a few sets in a hurry, and if we hesitate any longer, maybe all the properties below are sold out."

Otherwise, if it is sold out, you will not be able to buy it even if you want to buy it.

When Xia Jing arrived in the north of the city in a carriage, there were only half of the team left, and the rest of the front line almost all bought shops and small courtyards with good locations as they wished.

In fact, everyone is wondering in their hearts that the concubine allows everyone to pay the down payment, which is equivalent to giving benefits to the middle and bottom people.

Is it really profitable to do business like this?

Don't make money at a loss?

The arrival of Xia Jing made those elders and young masters who had just been moved by it instantly fall into samadhi again.

Even if they wanted to buy a store in the north of the city, they couldn't let Xia Jing see it in person, otherwise, they would be ashamed!
This poor self-esteem once again made them ruin this opportunity to make a fortune.

Xia Jing arrived at the sales department, and as soon as she got off the carriage, many people in the farm in front of the sales department recognized her.

"Princess, are you here today?"

"Did you buy a shop and return it to a courtyard?" Xia Jing asked with concern, noticing the house purchase contract they were holding.

Yong Gen scratched his head, and replied with a silly smile: "My family doesn't have much money, so I just chose the smallest shop and made a down payment. After that, I will pay off your debt by collecting rent every month."

When Xia Jing saw his naive look, she couldn't help but soften her voice a lot, "It's not bad that your family can buy a small shop, it's already surpassed most of the common people outside."

Yong Gen nodded: "All of this is due to your concubine, if you hadn't brought us to Lingnan, I believe our family would have been ashes by now."

Xia Jing laughed loudly after hearing this: "It is mainly up to you. You can buy the shop because of the joint efforts of your whole family. Cherish it."

Then Zuo Jiuchuan, the interim manager of the farm, came out from the sales department and naturally found Xia Jing.

He walked up to Xia Jing and said with a smile, "Princess, the sales department has already signed many contracts today."

Xia Jing smiled and motioned for Zuo Jiuchuan to follow her away from the crowd.

When she was some distance away from the crowd, she asked some things about the farm.

Zuo Jiuchuan patiently answered all her questions.

"Now it's the slack time for farming. The farm can organize people to continue building some houses. There is also a vacant land in the farm to build some factories."

Zuo Jiuchuan was puzzled, so he asked, "Build a factory? Does the princess want to set up a workshop or factory in the farm?"

"I am going to build a textile factory in the farm, and I will recruit women and girls from the farm to work in the factory so that I can have a source of income to improve family life and status."

This is Xia Jing's decision based on the estimation of women's status in this society. Another reason is that money has little purchasing power in troubled times, and more people would be willing to trade with cloth.

Barter, exchange your excess supplies for your urgently needed supplies.

Zuo Jiuchuan was very excited when he heard that he was going to set up a factory in Tianzhuang, which meant that he had another important source of income in his hands.

"Since this is the case, I will arrange people to go out and buy more cotton and flax after I go back. And next year, I will try my best to encourage everyone to grow more mulberry and hemp in the fields and raise more silkworms."

Xia Jing had no objection to this, Zuo Jiuchuan just looked at the arrangement.

Then she remembered something, and said again: "After the harvest this year, I plan to plant another season of vegetables. You prepare in advance, and prepare some more storage-resistant vegetable seeds."

Vegetables in winter are the most rare, and the price is several times that of the current season.

Xia Jing remembers that the temperature difference between the south of Nanling and the north of Nanling is quite large.

The winter in Lingnan is not too cold, you can spend the winter with a layer of autumn clothes. Of course, sometimes you need to wear thicker clothes when it gets cold, but it will not be too cold.

However, the winter in the north of Nanling is very cold. In winter, except for some seasonal vegetables such as cabbage and radish, no other seasonal vegetables can be grown.

Of course, except if there is a greenhouse, who can afford a greenhouse at this time?

Unless the family is powerful.

If her farm planted a crop of out-of-season vegetables after the autumn harvest, and when the vegetables were mature, they would be sold in Jingzhou, north of Nanling, and they would surely be able to sell at a high price and make a lot of money.
