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

The caravan lined up to enter the city, and the carriage bumped again. After all, the stone road was not as smooth as the cement road.

Although Xia Jiang feels sorry for the money spent, the contrast between walking the cement road and then walking the stone road should not be too obvious.

A construction site not far from the city gate attracted the attention of the team entering the city.

The first thing they noticed was the Xia family caravan that entered the city first.

"Father, you can see that the original wasteland has disappeared. With this busy scene now, it's hard to imagine that it was still a wasteland two months ago."

Xia Qingshan looked at the busy construction site, and couldn't hide a smile on his tired face, "Some houses have already been built over there, and I don't know where the shop your aunt left for our family is exactly?"

"If Dad wants to know, he can ask Second Aunt when he gets back."

Xia Jiang flicked his whip in the air, one can imagine how excited he was.

I think back when the Xia family first arrived in Lingnan, it was impossible to buy a big yard for the whole family to live in, and they were excluded and embarrassed by the Lingnan family everywhere.

Later, if King Qian hadn’t copied the Lou’s family and gave them a five-entry house, their Xia family might not have found a suitable house yet, so they could only settle somewhere.

The Chen family caravan that entered the city later also noticed the construction in the north of the city.

Chen Yongtian was even more surprised to see the houses and shops rising from the ground in the north of the city, as well as the construction site still under construction, "This"

He remembered that when he came to Lingnan last time, this piece of land was still overgrown with thatch.

"Did I enter the wrong city gate?"

Chen Yongtian turned around and looked up at the tall city gate. There was a blue brick missing from the top stack. That's right, this is the north city gate!
The Xia family caravan had gone far ahead, so it was not easy for him to gallop around the city to ask. Looking left and right, he saw a waiter standing in front of a tea house.

He beckoned to Xiaoer.

Xiao Er pointed at himself, and when he saw the other party nodding, he trotted over, "Master, are you looking for something to order?"

Chen Yongtian threw him a small piece of silver, pointed to the construction site in the north of the city, and asked, "If I remember correctly, the last time I came to this area was a wasteland. Why has it changed so much not long ago?"

Xiaoer skillfully reached out his hand to catch the silver thrown in the air, weighed it in his hand, and then bowed with a smile on his face, "I don't know, the wasteland in the north of the city was bought by the princess. Not long ago, the wasteland in the north of the city Construction started and a grand opening ceremony was held.”

Xiaoer talked about the grand sales after the opening, and finally said with regret: "Master, if you came here more than a month earlier, you would have caught up with this grand occasion, you don't know, the price of real estate in this area is especially suitable for us Middle-income people, like the owner of Liji Snack Shop, have lived frugally for half their lives and don’t have much money, but this time they bought a shop with pride.”

Chen Yongtian was greatly surprised, "The shops in this area are very cheap?"

He knows Li the shopkeeper of Liji Snack Shop. His snack shop is next to Xiaji Salt Shop. He was lucky enough to eat there once. The taste is good, but the business is really mediocre. With a little traffic, his business will be bleak.

He wouldn't believe that such a small shop could earn back the money of a shop, but Xiaoer just said that shopkeeper Li bought a shop, which can only show that the price of the shop is as low as the price of cabbage.

But for a shop at the price of cabbage, Princess Qian, who is in charge of all this, can make money?

Or is Princess Qian the reincarnation of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, who came to Lingnan to do charity?
Xiao Er raised her eyelids and shook her head, "How is that possible! In order for the common people with some savings in her hands to be able to afford shops and houses, she made an installment payment, and when the shops are built, she will use the rent from the shops to repay the rent."

After hearing his words, Chen Yongtian took a while to digest, concealed the shock in his heart, opened his mouth and asked again: "Such an installment payment, the princess is not doing a good deed, it is simply sending people to shops."

Buying a store after paying % or % of the silver, and then paying the balance with the leased rent, is equivalent to the common people owning a store with very little money, which is not equal to giving away the store!
"hey-hey!"

Xiao Er smirked for a while, looked around, and then went to Chen Yongtian and whispered: "To tell the truth, my brothers also pooled some money to buy a shop. After listening to my father's analysis, he It is said that the princess did this to resist the monopoly of the Lingnan family gentry."

Chen Yongtian didn't know much about the situation in Lingnan, so he let out a faint "oh" when he heard this.

When Xiaoer talked about this time, he became interested, and continued: "Master, you are not from Lingnan, you may not know that in Fucheng, to % of the shops are in the hands of the family gentry, and the real ones are in the hands of the common people. The shops are old and small.”

Needless to say, dilapidated and small shops cannot be found in the eyes of the world's gentry, so they will be lost to the hands of the common people.

Chen Yongtian is no better than the country gentry in Lingnan, and his vision will not be as high as theirs.

The business of the Chen family in Changsha County is aimed at ordinary people, so he listened to what Xiao Er said, and he paid more attention to the fact that this area is full of people with small assets, which means that in the future, this area in the north of the city will be full of people with a certain level of consumption.

With such a large group of consumers, it would be a big loss if the Chen family did not have a shop in the north of the city.

"You greeted me at the teahouse. Do you know who bought the shop in the north of the city and is going to sell it?" He said, seeing that Xiaoer wanted to shake his head, he added another sentence: "I can buy at a high price, of course I will pay for your hard work." Not less."

After hearing this, Xiao Er's eyes lit up, "Is this really true?"

Seeing hope, Chen Yongtian smiled and nodded: "Really!"

"Okay, you leave a contact address, and I'll inquire for you. If I have any news, I will go to you." Xiaoer will not be perfunctory even for the reward, and will definitely inquire carefully.

Satisfied, Chen Yongtian left the address of his usual inn, looked at the busy construction site, and went to catch up with his caravan.

Yi Guiyuan.

Xia Jing was listening to shopkeeper Ding Daqiang's report on the progress of the infrastructure construction, so Zeng Yan walked in with Xia Qingshan and Xia Dashu himself.

The three came in and saluted Xia Jing, "I have seen the princess."

Although they are Xia Jing's brothers, they don't want to lose their etiquette in the palace, and they still have to abide by the etiquette that should be observed according to their status.

Xia Jing was very happy to see them, "Brother, Dashu, when did you come back?"

Xia Qingshan replied with a smile: "I just came back two days ago, I came to see you with my second brother after I finished my work at home."

In the past, they were in their hometown in Yanzhou, and the younger sister married to the capital, and they seldom interacted with each other for more than ten years. Now everyone is in Lingnan, so it is convenient to move around.

"Then come and sit down, red plums serve tea!"

Zeng Yan beckoned the boy outside the door to bring the box in, "Princess, this is a gift from my uncle."

Xia Jing looked at Xia Qingshan upon hearing this.

Xia Qingshan explained with a smile: "This time I went to Jingzhou to get a batch of good tea. I came to see that you just brought some for you. There are quite a few here. Please share it with other people in the palace."

Xia Jing shook her head, "They are juniors, how lucky they are to drink the tea you gave them."

Xia Qingshan drank the tea brought by Hongmei and smiled: "You can just talk about it here. Besides, they are princes of the palace after all, and we are just merchants."

Xia Jing raised her eyebrows, but she didn't answer the words. The deep-rooted class concept of the ancients cannot be changed by her in a few words.

First, she arranged for Baimei to take the maids to deliver the tea to several rooms, then she asked about the details of their trip to Jingzhou this time as soon as the subject changed.

Xia Qingshan and Xia Dashu talked about their trip to Jingzhou.

When it was over, Xia Dashu talked about a situation he had learned, "The rain in Lingnan this year is fairly stable. In Jingzhou, it was dry in the first half of the year, but in the second half of the year, there was a little more rain. Especially during the rice earing period, the continuous rain caused many places in Jingzhou The rice has suffered from black blight, and it can be predicted that this year’s production reduction is certain, but we don’t know if the people at the bottom will be able to survive this disaster after years of droughts and pests.”

The so-called black blight was later called sheath blight or rice blast.Insecticides can be controlled in later generations, but in ancient times, we could only resign ourselves to fate, and production reduction was doomed.

After hearing the news, Xia Jing felt a little heavy in her heart, but continued to exchange greetings with them calmly.

After refilling the water twice, Baimei brought the tea leaves to each house and hadn't returned yet, but King Qian came here with Anu.

As soon as King Qian entered the door, he laughed enthusiastically and said: "Haha, brother-in-law is here, why didn't you inform me, it's my king's fault that brother-in-law came to the palace and neglected."

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to cast a reproachful glance at Xia Jing.

Xia Jing shuddered at this look, she quickly looked away, and stared at the tall and handsome Ye Fei outside the door to wash her eyes.

And Ye Fei outside the door was stared at by the princess so straightly, thinking that the princess wanted him to do something, and she was signaling him with her eyes, so he looked back for a long time and couldn't figure out what it meant?
Xia Qingshan didn't notice the eyebrows and lawsuits between their husband and wife, stood up and bowed to King Qian, "My lord is busy with other affairs, and we don't have any serious matters when we come to the door. I don't want to disturb my lord, I'm afraid it will delay your important matter."

"Brother is here to receive you. There is still some time. Besides, the princess will help me with many things in the palace, so I still have plenty of time."

After Xia Qingshan and Xia Dashu heard his polite words, they smiled and didn't know how to get along with King Qian. The main reason was that although they had been relatives for nearly 20 years, the number of times they really came into contact could be counted in a single slap.

The disparity in status makes them somewhat unable to let go.

After hearing what they said, Xia Jing turned around and asked King Qian, "Why do you have time to come to my place today?"

When the Xia brothers heard this, they looked at King Qian in unison, and it was not difficult to see that they were dissatisfied with King Qian in their eyes.

Sure enough, the rumors are true, this King Qian is a playboy, a flirtatious, idiot and a big dandy!
It's unreasonable not to come to Second Sister (Second Sister) for a long time!
This is because you don't treat your wife as a human being, so you dare to demean her!

"Hehe." King Qian chuckled, and was about to answer Xia Jing's question, but he didn't want to look up at the two brothers' dissatisfied eyes, which made him a little baffled for a while!

What's going on here?
Did he do something wrong?

Or can't he heh before answering the princess's words?

"It's hard to answer my question?" Xia Jing asked again seeing that King Qian hadn't said a word for a long time.

When the Xia brothers heard it, you see, the second sister (second sister) has a lot of grievances, which shows how much wronged she may have suffered in ordinary times!

King Qian received the reproachful eyes from the two uncles again, and scratched his head, really confused, "That."

It was difficult to answer this question, so he looked at Xia Jing and answered her question, "I heard that my uncle was coming in the front yard, so I came over to meet him. I think about having a drink with the two brothers at noon."

Xia Jing's face turned dark when she heard this, this reminded her of the last time when King Qian drank alcohol and pretended to be drunk and refused to leave.

The Xia brothers didn't know the inside story, and seeing Xia Jing's complexion, they knew that it was King Qian who bullied her severely, otherwise, Xia Jing would not have given up on King Qian in front of them.

King Qian noticed that the faces of the three brothers and sisters were not very good, and his tone weakened, "Why don't I just have a drink?"

Xia Jing rolled her eyes in her heart, is this a question of one cup or two cups?
However, today the eldest brother and the younger brother came, and Xia Jing waved Hongmei to prepare lunch for them.

The Xia brothers acted on the basis of Xia Jing's expression, and when they saw that her expression had calmed down and asked the maid to prepare, they also eased their expression, and chatted with King Qian again.

Anu, who had been standing behind King Qian, watched his master chat with the Xia brothers in a friendly manner, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and heaved a sigh of relief. He really felt wronged for his master. Have you been so frustrated?

It seems that the only one who makes him an exception is the princess.

Ever since he met the princess, the prince has been suppressed by the princess, and after getting married, the relationship eased for more than ten years.

The last time the concubine came back to life, her temperament returned to the temper she had when we first met, which made the prince often jump up and down with her anger and had nothing to do with her.

The waiter of Chengbei teahouse is called Chang Chong. When he came home from the teahouse, he told his mother about Chen Yongtian's begging to buy a shop in Chengbei.

"Mother, in the past few days, you have been asking more about who wants to sell the store, or release the news that someone is willing to buy it at a high price, and see if anyone is willing to sell it?"

Chang Chongniang is also a shrewd and capable woman, otherwise she wouldn't be able to lead the family to make money to buy a shop.

After listening to her son's words, her eyes sparkled, "Rich businessmen from other places are so optimistic about the shops in the north of the city. Does that mean that the shops in the north of the city will appreciate in value in the future?"

After Chang Chong heard this, he also came to his senses, and almost jumped up happily, "Mother, mother, does this mean that the north of the city will become more prosperous, and our shops can also open their own stores in the future?"

It would be great if I could open a small shop by myself without having to work for others.

Excited to think about it!
Chang Chongniang thought so deeply, "It's okay for me to cook, why don't we stop renting out the shop in the future and just open a small restaurant by ourselves?"

"You can have this." After Chang Chong got excited, he told his mother, "Mother, let's put this matter aside for now, let's make a fortune first and then talk about it. You remember to inquire about it for me, and let me know if there is any news!"

"Don't worry, I'll go and ask now!" Chang Chongniang is a quick-tempered person, and after learning about the situation, she doesn't want to wait for a moment.
