The warm sun in winter is the time for winter naps.
Gu Jiu carried the gift and came to the Shaofu Jialing's Mansion.
The butler opened the door to welcome Gu Jiu into the flower hall and served tea.
A moment later, the Shaofu family order appeared.
"Ha ha… "
The Shaofu family order laughed loudly, full of air.
"Greetings to the ancestors." Gu Jiu stood up and performed the junior salute.
The Shaofu family order waved his hands, "Xiao Jiu is free of courtesy. Sit down, let's sit down and talk."
Gu Jiu smiled and sat down.
The Shaofu family order asked with concern: "How is the Wangfu recently?"
"With the blessings of the old ancestors, everything in the palace is fine."
"That's good. His Majesty suddenly decided to send the princes out of the capital. To be honest, I was also very surprised."
Gu Jiu climbed along the pole, "In the opinion of our ancestors, what is His Majesty's intention?"
The Shaofu family order stroked his beard with a serious expression, "It's hard to say."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Then pick it up and talk about it."
"Ha ha… "
The Shaofu Jialing first burst out laughing, after laughing, he restrained his expression, deliberately lowered his voice, and said, "Do you know what people are most afraid of when they are old?"
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, knowing it in her heart. She said bluntly: "I am most afraid of death!"
The Shaofu family order nodded again and again, "Yes, I am afraid of death. Like this old man, who is a few years younger than His Majesty, I am afraid all day long. When there is a disturbance, I feel uneasy in my heart. Do you understand the old man's thinking?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Understood! But, aren't you afraid of what happens?"
In case the emperor has three ups and downs during this period, as the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day, what will be done then? Fight a mess
The Shaofu Jialing shook his head slightly, "Compared to the future, the present is the most important thing. You have to let the old man think through it slowly. When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming and the rain is over, it will naturally be another scene."
Gu Jiu could not help but sigh.
What happened this time probably scared the emperor to death.
The more frightened he was, the more manic he became, and the more extreme he acted.
This is true for killing people, and it is also true for sending all the grown-up princes out of Beijing.
In the final analysis, I am still afraid of death. Deep down, I don't trust anyone.
Even Chen Dachang, who was able to serve the emperor, experienced ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties.
She took a sip from her teacup.
At this moment, a sentence popped up in her mind, the longer she was an emperor, the more brutal she became, and there has been no exception since ancient times.
People who are emperors are all perverts, and non-perverts can't sit firmly in that position.
The Son of Heaven has been the emperor for more than 30 years, and his whole body exudes a perverted atmosphere from the inside to the outside.
Count on the emperor to think about the problem with the logical thinking of a normal person, let's dream.
You should be thankful for not continuing to go to extremes.
The Shaofu family order sighed, "On the surface, it seems that the matter is over. But everyone knows that His Majesty is on fire and will vent it sooner or later. Unexpectedly, there are constant disputes in the court, and disasters are reported one after another.
I went to the court several times, but there was not even a decent piece of good news. Xiao Jiu, do you know why the old man invited you over? "
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I would like to hear the details."
The Shaofu family order stroked his beard and said: "Chaotang, to be precise, His Majesty needs a happy event, a big happy event. This important task must belong to you, Xiaojiu."
Gu Jiu shook his head again and again, "The old ancestor looked too highly on this junior, how could this junior have such virtues and capabilities."
Don't put a high hat on her, she really doesn't like this.
Instead of wearing a high hat, it is better to give some benefits.
The Shaofu's family order hurriedly said: "You are too self-effacing. The old man never thinks highly of others, but he only underestimates you. Your house in Yuhua Lane, the old man has lost his eyes at the beginning."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "It's a fluke, everything is a fluke."
The Shaofu family order laughed, "Don't worry, the old man doesn't ask you for money. The old man just wants to ask, if you promised His Majesty to raise money for the repair of the three halls, should you move it? If at this time, you can hand over the money , Your Majesty will definitely be happy, and everyone in the court will be grateful to you."
Just listen to this, don't take it seriously.
Gu Jiu didn't believe that the whole court would appreciate her.
What a shame it would be for a little girl to do things that old men can't do.
It's like she took the slippers and slapped them in the face.
If she can't do it, the people in the court will be really elated.
Look, you know that women can't do things well. The Son of Heaven is too foolish to entrust such an important task to a woman.
The so-called gratitude is just taken for granted.
If she succeeds in collecting all the money, there will be many people inside and outside the hall, gnashing their teeth and secretly cursing her.
The words of Shaofu's family order can coax others, but it is a waste of time to coax her.
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "The old ancestor is urging money for His Majesty!"
The household order of the Shaofu laughed, "This old man is sharing your majesty's worries. Tell me the truth, can this be done before the Chinese New Year?"
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled.
Of course it can be done.
But she didn't want to agree so readily.
Maodong!
The weather is so cold, I don't want to move, I just want to stay in the house and be happy all day long.
It's boring to let her take care of the money, and there is only a little bit of money that can fall into her pocket.
At this time, it is time to open the conditions.
"The old ancestor was loyal to the monarch and the country, and the younger generation admired it. It's just that the younger generation has some difficulties."
"you say."
Gu Jiu thought about it and said, "What do the ancestors think of the large area outside the South City Gate?"
The Shaofu family order's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Do you want to repair the house again?"
Gu Jiu shook her head, "No, I just want to ask if there is an owner of that piece of land? Who is the owner?"
"Of course there is an owner. That piece of land is under the management of the Shaofu."
Gu Jiu laughed, looked at the Shaofu's order, and didn't speak.
The Shaofu family order frowned, he understood what Gu Jiu meant.
He shook his head, "That's impossible. There are tens of thousands of people living there. If the old man gives you the land, where will you let those people live? Tens of thousands of people, if there is chaos, it will be terrible."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Close to the city gate, there is a large mess of low-rise houses, and tens of thousands of poor people, are you really not afraid of embarrassment?"
"There is no way to be ashamed. Once the Shaofu sells the land to you, where will you let those people live?"
"Mrs. Ben will build a house for them to live in."
The Shaofu Jialing frowned, "You're not kidding, are you?"
Gu Jiu smiled, "Master, do you think I'm joking?"
The Shaofu Jialing couldn't understand, "Why did you just set your sights on that place? East City Gate, West City Gate, there are so many places, why didn't you consider them?"
"I can't afford it, the landlord's family has no food left."
Gu Jiu started calling poor. If you are not poor at this time, when will you wait
The Shaofu family twitched his brows and eyes, and was very speechless, "Xiao Jiu, what you said is too dishonest. If you have no money, who has money?"
"I really don't have any money." Gu Jiu spread his hands, "The old ancestor should know that the palace is unable to make ends meet every year, and my son's expenses are all supported by me alone. He is a grandson of the emperor. Earn money. Even if the juniors earn gold and silver, they can still be defeated by him."
"Old man listened to what you said, why did Young Master Zhao become a prodigal son?"
Gu Jiu nodded heavily, "The only one who knows me is my ancestors, my son is a veritable prodigal son. With this prodigal son, can I still be rich?"
The Shaofu family order couldn't help but shook his head again and again.
People!
Face!
Gu Jiu, Gu Jiu, is it really appropriate for you to slander Liu Zhao in this way just to make you poor
Gu Jiu smiled: It's very suitable.
Liu Zhao can't make money, so it's good to show his face to win sympathy, at least it has played a little value.
The Shaofu family order asked: "I don't know one thing, the land at the south gate, if you use it to build a house, can you make money?"
Gu Jiu laughed, it's so profitable.
Hey, people's thinking is not open these days, it's lonely to let her earn real estate money alone!
Invincible loneliness.
This is a joke.
Gu Jiu said softly: "Thank you, ancestor, for your concern. It's true that the land at the South City Gate doesn't make much money, but I think it shouldn't be a big problem to keep the capital."
The Shaofu Jialing stared at Gu Jiu suspiciously.
Will she do business that can only guarantee capital
No!
The Shaofu family order denied his thoughts the next moment.
How could it be possible for Gu Jiu to do business that could only guarantee capital.
But he really couldn't figure out how to make money by building houses on the land at the South City Gate.
Oops, not enough brains.
Today's young people are too flexible in their minds, and the old people can't keep up.
The Shaofu family order said: "I don't even ask you how to make money, but you want all of that piece of land, which is tens of thousands of mu?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Yes, I want all of them. Please ask my ancestors to sell them to me at a lower price. This junior doesn't have much money."
"Think about this matter again, I will give you an answer tomorrow."
"Thank you, old ancestor. The younger generation has an unfeeling request."
"you say."
Gu Jiu thought about it and said, "This junior is short on money, and this junior wants to pay the bill in installments for that piece of land."
"What? Min, installment payment?"
"Exactly!"
Installment payment is easy to understand, it means literally.
Shaofu Jialing was very interested, "How do you want to pay by installments?"
Gu Jiu said: "In the early stage, I will give 20% of the payment. When the project is halfway started, I will give the remaining 30%. When the house is repaired and people live in it, I will give the final 50%."
The corner of Shaofu's family order's mouth twitched.
He pointed at Gu Jiu, "A profiteer, a proper profiteer. You are clearly doing business without capital, using the land and money from the Shaofu to make profits for you."
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, "How could the old ancestor say that. The down payment is 20%, and I'm going to borrow money from your Shaofu Bank, and I will pay the interest."
puff!
"The old man really underestimated you. You are planning to not pay a penny, and let the Shaofu contribute money and work for you, and make money for you."
"Everyone is mutually beneficial. Your Shaofu's so much money is wasted in the treasury. Why don't you lend it to me, and I'll pay the interest. Anyway, for your Shaofu, it's the left hand and the right hand, and you can still charge interest."
The Shaofu family order was defeated by Gu Jiuchou's shameless means.
He asked casually, "How much do you want to borrow?"
Gu Jiu also said casually, "Let me lend one million taels first."
puff!
The Shaofu family order couldn't believe it, and asked, "One million taels?"
Gu Jiu nodded heavily.
"Do you know that even if the monthly interest rate of Shaofu is low, one million taels, it will cost nearly 200,000 taels of interest in a year. You can earn 200,000 taels of land outside the South City Gate? "
Gu Jiu said: "Thank you for your concern, my ancestor. My ancestor only needs to borrow money, so you don't have to worry about the younger generation not paying the money. The younger generation promises to return the money to the Shaofu on time, with the principal and interest."
The Shaofu family commander frowned, "You young people, you, hey... this old man has to think about it."
He had to ask Liu Zhao.
One million taels, this is one million taels.
In the treasury of the household department, it is estimated that there is no one million taels of cash.
Gu Jiu asked for a loan of one million taels, how could this be possible.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I hope that the old ancestor can give this junior an answer as soon as possible."
The Shaofu family order rubbed the center of his brows, "You should hurry up on raising money for His Majesty."
Gu Jiu said: "When the ancestors promised to sell all the land outside the South City Gate to the younger generation, the younger generation will start to do it. Try to collect 1.7 million taels of silver before the Chinese New Year."
The Shaofu family order was very distressed.
Today's young people don't know how to respect the old and love the young.
Do something and bargain.
He really wanted to point to Gu Jiu's forehead and say something about a profiteer.
Gu Jiu is more villainous than all the businessmen he knows.
What's even more frightening is that Gu Jiu is an upright profiteer, spreading all her schemes under the sun. Let people refute, do not know how to refute.
The Shaofu family order looked tired, "Forget it, forget it. In two days, you will send someone to the Shaofu to complete the formalities. This time, the old man is the master and sells that piece of land to you."
Gu Jiu was overjoyed, "Thank you, old ancestor."
In this way, the land outside the south city gate, together with the land she bought earlier, even occupied a large area of the city. Can be divided into many areas.
Residential area, commercial area, industrial area.
The South City Gate is close to the Weishui River and not far from the Inner City River. That place is really convenient.
The most important thing is that the land outside the south city gate is cheap.
The Shaofu family order said: "The old man agreed to your conditions, then when will you raise money for His Majesty?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "Don't worry, old ancestor, there will be news within ten days."
"Okay! The old man is waiting for your good news."
Gu Jiu left the Shaofu Jialing Mansion contentedly.
She asked Ma Xiaoliu to inform Bai Zhong to return to the palace.
In recent months, Bai Zhong has been busy outside every day. Because the palace has access control, many things are inconvenient. Later, he simply lived in Yuhua Lane and was busy with the finishing work of Yuhua Lane. And the thing about hero posts.
Gu Jiuguang posted a hero post, in the past two or three months, many wealthy merchants gathered in the capital.
It's just bad luck, first the Ma Zheng case, then the kidnapper case.
The situation in the capital was turbulent, so that Gu Jiu's plan to raise funds was postponed accordingly.
The rich merchants are also trembling, fearing that they will be implicated.
Some timid businessmen left the capital ahead of time before Gu Jiu could convene a hero conference.
However, most of the merchants stayed on.
As the saying goes, wealth and wealth are sought in danger.
The owner of Yuhua Lane convened a hero meeting, such a grand event, how could one miss it.
In the previous business model of Yuhua Lane, some shrewd businessmen followed suit. When they returned to their hometowns, they still made a lot of money.
This time, no matter what you say, you have to see the result before leaving.
Moreover, it is not idle in the capital.
The huge capital city has a population of two to three million people. Such a large-scale market, whether it is doing business, inspecting, or making contacts, is a rare opportunity.
In addition, on the side of Yuhua Lane, some new things are produced every three days, and the life in the capital is quite fulfilling.
After receiving the notice, Bai Zhong hurried back to the palace.
"Greetings to Madam."
"Sit down and talk, you have worked hard during this time."
"Small ones don't work hard."
He sat down respectfully, only sitting on half of his buttocks.
Gu Jiu asked, "Have all the rich merchants arrived?"
Bai Zhong took out a list from his sleeve, "This is the list of participants. There are two hundred big and small luxury merchants. Among them, there are fifty-eight luxury merchants involved in the materials needed for building houses. The other one hundred There are many, from all walks of life.”
Gu Jiu asked: "How many local wealthy merchants are there in the capital?"
"There are about 30 families, all of whom have backers. However, because of an accident in the Li family, several of them have been kicked out."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Is the venue ready?"
Bai Zhong nodded, "The other courtyard lent by Princess Huyang has been fully decorated and can be used at any time."
Gu Jiu put down the list, "Go down and get ready. We will hold a bidding meeting in five days."
Bai Zhong couldn't hide his excitement, after preparing for such a long time, it finally came to today.
"Little one obeys. There is another matter to report to Madam."
"you say!"
"Before the Li family learned from Yuhua Lane, they also built a street. They also sold part of the house. However, because of an accident in the Li family, the house was half repaired and stopped working. Now the project is unfinished, and no one dares to take over. I want to ask Ma'am, should we take the opportunity to eat it?"
Gu Jiu asked, "Can you make money?"
Bai Zhong nodded affirmatively, "It will definitely make money. The Li family is in a precarious situation, and there are only a group of women and children left. At this time, if someone is willing to take over, they will be very grateful."
Gu Jiu thought for a while, "After the bidding conference is over, you will make a comprehensive assessment of the Li family's property."
"Little one understands."
