Chapter 654: good things are near
Chapter 654 Good things are coming
The shops in Kang'an City are concentrated in the three cities of east, west and south. The scale of the three cities has been delineated, and the number of shops is also established, and nearly half of the shops in the three cities belong to the court halls, which are only rented and not sold. The remaining half of the shops are privately owned and can be bought and sold, and this part of the shops that can be bought and sold are extremely sought-after resources, especially the prosperous shops, which can be said to have nowhere to buy if you have money. Now that someone has been convicted and the court is in turmoil, someone has shot the shop, how can Jiang Liu not be tempted.
Such a shop, buy is to earn!
The ten-year-old Jiang Liu couldn't go out alone to talk about business. She took her third uncle and Jiang Ming to go out together. After searching around for news, she grabbed the store before her competitors took action.
In the end, Jiang Huai and Jiang Liu pulled the second master Jiang, who could brush their faces, to grab a well-located grocery store for the Jiang family, and bought a rice grain shop and a spice shop for Jiang Liu and Jiang Muyan. Among these shops, the one with the best location was the grocery store, which cost Jiang's 1,800 taels of silver. Jiang Huai also bought 20 acres of fertile land outside the city at a modest price. When Jiang Muzheng gets married next year, this will be her dowry.
As for why he bought rice grain shops and spice shops, Jiang has his own opinions. She naively explained to her brother and sister, "Because we have several farms in our hands, we can sell the grain in the farms at a higher price if we have a rice grain store."
She is playing this title, but in fact she wants to explore the depth of the food industry and see if she can cut into this industry and make a lot of money. If it can be successful, it is the best, if not, then sell the shop, and it will not lose money.
Jiang Muyan smiled and said, "With the farmhouse and the rice grain shop, are we going to buy a mill?"
"Sister guessed right!" Jiang Liu clapped his little chubby hand, "but the mill is not bought, but expanded. After the expansion of our small mill on Zhuangzi, it will be enough. I have sent Uncle Ya to look for craftsmen. This year The unsold grain of our farm can be processed in the mill as much as possible, and then sold in our rice grain shop."
Jiang Muyan also thinks this is very good, nodding to calculate how many shops she and her sister have now and how much they are worth. The more she counted, the higher the corners of her mouth curled up.
Jiang Liu discussed with Jiang Ling again, "Brother, there are boxes of gold and silver jewelry in our warehouse, and the beads can't be made to sound. Why don't you use them to buy property, what do you think?"
Jiang Muyan immediately raised her single phoenix eyes to look at Jiang Ling.
Most of the gold and silver in Jiangling's warehouse was brought to him by his aunt from Yingzhou at the beginning of the year, and it has been in the warehouse for several months. If my sister didn't mention it, Jiang Ling wouldn't even be able to remember it. Now that my sister mentioned it, it's up to my sister to decide. "The account book and the key to the warehouse are in your hands. You can buy whatever you like."
Jiang Muyan was very satisfied with Jiang Ling's answer, then lowered her head and began to count her and her sister's dowry. Jiang Liu then began to analyze what kind of store he should buy for his brother, "Brother now has an aphrodisiac medicine store, what type of store do you want to buy next?"
Jiang Ling has no objection to this, "What do you think, sister?"
Jiang Liu guided his brother to think about the issue of buying a property. "My sister and I have the most shops besides the herbal shop. The most popular shop is the chili powder shop. I bought the spice shop this time because it is the raw material for the production of chili powder. Better quality fat powder. Do you want to buy it according to the same business? Which business do you like? "
Jiang Ling thought about it and said, "Buy a horse farm, can Feng Xian'an's horse farm be sold?"
Jiang Muyan, who was counting, raised her head, and Jiang Liu was also a little surprised, but she quickly said, "Feng Xian'an's racecourse occupies a lot of land, and the price is not cheap. I haven't heard of anyone who bought it. I'll ask tomorrow."
"Let Uncle Qiu go, it's cold outside the city, don't blow your sister." Jiang Ling said, and continued, "In addition to the horse farm, let's open an inn next to the post road outside the city, what does my sister think?"
"Why do you want a racecourse and an inn?" Jiang Liu asked curiously.
Jiang Ling explained, "My father wants the horse farm to take care of Victory, and I want to use the inn to collect information. If there is still money left after the purchase, then buy the farm, and the wheat and rice grown can be ground into flour in our mill. Then put it in the rice grain store and sell it."
Jiang Liu doesn't know whether the racecourse makes money or not, but the farmhouse and the inn should not lose any money, Jiang Liu nodded, "Okay, just do it like this."
On the second day, Jiang Liu went out with Uncle Qiu, and after checking, he knew that Feng Xian'an's horse ranch had not been released. There is an old saying: if a family is rich, those with hair are not counted. Because of a disease or a huge price swing, no amount of livestock will go short. Moreover, running a horse farm is more difficult than raising cattle and sheep, because a horse farm requires skilled horses, thoroughbred horses, and a lot of pasture, so it is a costly business.
Jiang Liu hesitated again and again, but helped his brother buy Feng Xian'an's horse farm, and then used the remaining money to buy three farms.
The reason why didn't consider the inn was that Uncle Qiu already had an inn for inquiries!
After learning that his son had bought Feng Xian'an's racecourse, Jiang Erye immediately sent his beloved Victory in and instructed the people at the racecourse to take care of it; Jiang Muyan calculated according to the amount of money her sister told her that Jiang Ling had thousands of homes. Industry, the mouth can not close.
Jiang Liu saw her sister like this, so she guessed according to her mind, "Isn't my sister thinking that my brother has such a family business, it will be easier to say kiss in the future?"
Jiang Muyan is not happy for Jiang Ling, but for her sister, but now is not the time to say this, she hugged her sister and asked, "Are you tired?"
"I'm not tired." Compared with writing poetry, being a female celebrity, playing the piano, and reading, Jiang Liu prefers to go out for a run, which makes her feel fulfilled and more fulfilled. Speaking of going out for a run, Jiang Liu suddenly remembered something, "Sister, I found out today that my second uncle accompanied a woman to the Guanyin Temple in Shengdaofang. The two were chatting and laughing."
Women? Jiang Muyan smiled, "How old are you?"
Jiang Liu described, "He looks like he's in his thirties, he looks pretty good, look at this bookish body..."
Before her sister could finish speaking, Jiang Muyan asked, "Does she have a mole the size of a buckwheat grain on the tip of her left eyebrow?"
Jiang Liu nodded immediately, "Yes!"
Jiang Muyan sighed, "That's the second girl of the Liu family in Chunfeng Lane. It seems that the second uncle's good news is near."
"Who is Miss Liu Er?" Jiang Liu wondered, when did such a character emerge, and she must not have heard the news.
Jiang Muyan opened her mouth several times and couldn't say anything. In the end, she simply covered herself and her sister with a quilt, and whispered in her sister's ear, "She...is my second uncle's confidante. I heard my grandmother talk to my aunt that before my second uncle married the Meng family, I had a crush on the second girl of the Liu family in Chunfeng Lane. After my second uncle married the Meng family, the second girl Liu also got married. Four years ago, the husband of the second girl died. She was kicked out of her husband's house and moved back to Chunfeng Lane. Auntie said that she had seen...Second Uncle and Second Lady Liu...Private meeting."
