I was the richest man in Da Song

Chapter 29 Land Purchase
Obviously encountered a huge crisis, but He Shao was very relaxed, and He Shao came to the door after Li Hang finished his government affairs for a day.

He Shao has no reservations about this student Li Hang, who is not an official. He talks about the changes of the times, the changes of the general trend, and listening to an old man who has read thousands of volumes.

Mistress Zhu loves He Shao too, and even cooks and makes cakes herself. In order not to embarrass his mistress, He Shao accepts all orders, and his stomach is full until he leaves.

He Shao supported the stone lion at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion and raised his head. He hiccupped and almost choked him to death just now, but Li Jianzong helped him with the food behind his back.

"Li Erlang, I'm going to call you second brother, can you help me share the burden next time my wife brings it up?" He Shao complained.

Li Hang had a daughter and a son, and the eldest daughter married out. Li Jianzong was three years older than He Shao, so He Shao always called him the second elder brother.

"I also brought you a jug of wine"

Li Jianzong smiled and took out a jug of wine, He Shao snatched it and gulped it down, pressing down the accumulated food.

"I heard that Fanlou and Wanchunlou are united to deal with you? You can't even buy liquor now?" Li Jianzong asked with a smile.

"I'm besieged on all sides now, how can you still laugh, if I have nowhere to go in the future, I will eat and drink in the mansion."

"Father said that if you only know how to make wine, you are now cornered, and only a fool would worry about a person who can turn the river into a millionaire."

Li Jianzong scratched his head in embarrassment, obviously he was that idiot from the beginning.

"Mr. is still smart." He Shao changed the subject, "Do you have money?"

"How much do you want"

"How many are there in the mansion now?"

"Father's monthly salary is [-] guan, and I also have [-] guan in salary. Leaving aside expenses and monthly expenses, I think the family has [-] to [-] guan for so many years."

Although the salaries of officials in the Great Song Dynasty in the early Song Dynasty were not low, they were not as exaggerated as in Huizong's first dynasty. After Renzong came to power, he began to increase his salary.

"Give it to me"

"Well...then I'll send someone to take it to you tomorrow."

Li Hang is called a generous elder by Zhenzong, he is impartial and selfless, he does not listen to slander, and has the reputation of knowing people and judging things, so he is called the Holy Minister. Just send it without asking.

"You don't even ask me what I want to do?" He Shao asked.

"I believe in my father, and I believe in you"

"Just now my wife said that the house at home is still leased, and the rent is [-] yuan per month. With this money, I will help you find two houses with good ground in Kaifeng Mansion."

"One house is enough, why sell two?" Li Jianzong asked.

"One is for living, the other is for sale later"

This made Li Jianzong even more confused, "Buying and selling? What is the picture?"

"When I first came to the capital, I only brought a volume of books with me. After [-] years of hard work, I already have this house. This house is not a flower, but a surplus for me. Have you ever heard this poem?" He Shao asked.

"Of course I know. My father said that it was written by Han Changli, a famous scholar in the mid-Tang Dynasty, who later became the governor of Jingzhao Mansion."

"Han Changli has been an official for 30 years and finally bought a small house that can barely accommodate him. Don't you want to be like him?"

He Shao looked at Li Jianzong. Han Yu and Bai Juyi, who are famous in history, almost had no room to live in. Why would he not worry at all? Does he think he is stronger than these two?
"Now that I'm in the midst of a thousand years of great rule, the land and housing prices in Kaifeng City will skyrocket. If you buy one house for [-] yuan now, there will be more than [-] yuan in the future!"

Although there will be a huge increase in official salaries after Renzong ascends the throne in the future, He Shao does not believe that this increase will be faster, higher, and stronger than housing prices.

"I don't understand, you don't need to tell me, anyway, Fenglang, you won't harm me, you can figure out what to do." Li Jianzong directly dumped everything to He Shao.

He Shao sighed, how could this kid have such a good life to have a brother like himself.

Relying on the Drunken Immortal Wine, He Shao made a total of nearly [-] guan, plus the remaining money from selling ice, He Shao has a total of [-] guan.

Even if he does nothing, relying on this money, He Shao can become a stable rich man. He Shao's ambition is not just to be a rich man, he wants to get addicted to being the richest man.

This time, when He Shao had the capital, he began to spend half of the money to buy land. In Kaifeng City, where housing prices are expensive and ordinary, a house costs at least [-] guan. Cheap Solfang needs [-] guan.

Earlier, He Shao had bought three lands in Solfang, but this time he bought all the street shops on both sides of Yudao.

The shops on both sides of Yudao are very expensive. What He Shao lacks most now is money. Under the offensive of his money, the original cloth shop next to Wanchun Tower was bought by He Shao at a high price of nearly [-] yuan. There is also a corner store next to Fanlou.

He Shao's money came quickly, but went even faster. In less than three or two days from [-] guan, only about [-] guan was left.

In any other dynasty, He Shao would not dare to spend so much money to buy real estate, only in the Song Dynasty!

Today's surrounding Khitan people and Dangxiang people sit together, and looking around thousands of years of history, there is no dynasty like the Song Dynasty, where the threat of foreigners is so serious.

Only He Shao has incomparable confidence. He knows that the peak of the Great Song Dynasty has just begun.

He Shao was busy with his own affairs, and Yang Shiliang and Pei Ce were not idle either. The two had high status among the merchants in Kaifeng City, but now they were jointly entertaining an honest middle-aged man with muddy fingernails.

"Zheng Gong, come and have a drink." Yang Shiliang persuaded him to drink.

Zheng Laocai was just a flower girl in the past, and then he went to work in the winery to make wine. He never thought that one day he would be persuaded to drink by a high-ranking person like Yang Shiliang and Pei Ce.

"Masons live in thatched houses, those who sell salt drink light soup, and those who farm the fields eat rice bran; Zheng Gong probably hasn't drunk much of the wine he brewed with his own hard work," Pei Ce asked.

"This is for the nobles, how can we mud legs dare to drink too much?"

"Why underestimate yourself, we also know your craftsmanship, the wine you brew is the No.

"Young shopkeeper is serious, I didn't make this wine by myself"

"Don't be modest, I've heard of Zheng Laocai's name a long time ago. It is said that Suo Erfang's wine storehouse will go out of business if he leaves Zhenggong."

Only those highly skilled craftsmen can be called a certain craftsman or a certain master craftsman, and Mr. Zheng has never been flattered like this before.

Both Yang Shiliang and Pei Ce were engaged in the restaurant business, and they were all good people who greeted and sent them off, but just a few words made Zheng Laocai a little bit flustered.

"Zheng Gong, you only have [-] yuan a day? If you are willing to come to us, I will give you a raise."

"A rise?"

Only then did Mr. Zheng realize that four hundred dollars was already very high, and he was hesitant at first, after all He Shao had said that he would strictly guard the secret of the wine storehouse, but he felt a little excited when he heard about the increase.

"Shiliang, how can I do it, so let's not spend too much every day, just a thousand dollars."

"Then what am I doing here?" Elder Zheng asked.

"You don't need to work when you come here, just take charge of teaching those idiots in our restaurant how to make wine, how you make wine in Solfang, and how we make wine here"

Distilled wine is basically the same as the current wine making process in the Song Dynasty, except that there is an additional distillation process. The water is evaporated to increase the concentration, and it only needs a little.

Mr. Zheng has worked in the liquor store for so long, so he naturally knows the process.

Thinking that the wine warehouse can no longer make wine, although He Shao's wages are still paid, what will happen if the guarantee is not guaranteed after a long time, it is better to make a plan early.

As for what He Shao said about keeping secrets strictly, under the flattery and money offensive of Yang Shiliang and Pei Ce, he has already left it behind. .

"Okay, if the two young shopkeepers don't give up, I'll come and join you."
