After the immortal disappeared

"Because of the special situation, the king allowed me to build Youhu Villa here. I have no idea how much more can be added later and how long it can be added. Every house here is out of print!" He Lingchuan was eloquent, but every word was reasonable, "The truth that things are rare and valuable, you must understand it better than me."

He almost said that as long as you buy it back, it will definitely increase in the future!

Everyone looked at each other in surprise.

He Xiao's identity is a foreign businessman. Merchants are cunning and everything is about money. Take the average of the twelve houses, and calculate it at 10,000 silver per house. If all can be sold, He Island Master will make more than 100,000 taels of silver!

The officials of the General Affairs Department and the Imperial Household Department knew it well. How much did He Lingchuan spend to buy that piece of land?

One thousand taels!

The cost of one thousand taels of land, in exchange for a profit of more than 100,000, how many times the profit is that?

Besides, he also said that this is only the first phase. As long as it sells well, it will be built later.

But thinking back, what He Island Master said is not unreasonable.

He Lingchuan picked up a piece of sweet duck for himself and savored it slowly: "These fine houses can be unveiled because of the special approval of the monarch."

The last four words, emphasize.

Why did he emphasize what he said before? When everyone was still thinking, Yuwen Xu had already asked: "When will the island owner He start selling?"

"The day after tomorrow night, I will take out the first fine house to sell in Chibao, and the starting price is only 500 taels." This first set is for publicity, and He Lingchuan does not intend to make money from it. "Time is a bit tight, and I will invite you to come and support it."

Like Lingxu City, Tianshui City also has more than a dozen auction houses of all sizes. Chibao Auction House is one of the top three big houses. It claims to be honest and fair. Although the fees are a little higher, it has a good reputation and has repeatedly found rare treasures.

Chibao has a small auction every seven days and a large auction every month. He Lingchuan's house will be put up the day after tomorrow, just in time for a small auction.

Everyone smiled and said they would definitely.

Five hundred taels is like picking up something for free, but if you only carry five hundred taels, you will probably end up with nothing.

He Lingchuan had said what he needed to say, so he turned to other topics, such as talking about the grand occasions of the birthday celebrations of King Yao in previous years, and listening to some gossips in the business and official circles.

Yuwen Xu took the lead in organizing this meeting today to introduce various ways to He Lingchuan, so that he would not be too slow in doing things in Tianshui City where he was unfamiliar with the people.

Obviously, King Yao also hoped that his Youhu Villa would be built soon.

The meal ended perfectly after the guests and hosts were very happy.

Everyone had left, and Yuwen Xu personally sent He Lingchuan to the door of the restaurant, and only asked the servant to go to the restaurant to settle the bill until he got on the car and drove away.

Someone called him from behind: "Brother Yuwen."

Gu Xuan hadn't left yet, so he came to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

"Brother Yuwen, are you going to Chibao the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes, even if you can't buy it, you have to show your support to Lord He."

Gu Xuan nodded, knowing that this was the intention of King Yao, how could the Yuwen family dare not do it?

The night breeze in late summer was cool, and the heat of the day had long been blown away. The two simply walked a few more steps along the street.

"Fan Shuang, that kid, has been in the limelight recently." Gu Xuan casually found an opening remark, "I didn't see him once a year before, and the number of times I saw him in the past two months is more than the past three years combined."

"Finally Fan Shuang got the chance." Yuwen Xu smiled, "He was not very smart before, but this time he embraced the right person. Once he got in touch with He Xiao, he rose to prominence."

The Yao nobles studying in Lingxu City are also naturally stratified. Noble children like them usually don't play with Fan Shuang, or only take him as a follower.

But Fan Shuang is now with He Lingchuan. Not to mention his own promotion, others have to give him three points of face.

The two of them didn't say it, but they all felt that He Xiao was really capable, and he could even lead a mediocre person like Fan Shuang. If those resources were given to them...

They didn't know that He Lingchuan deliberately brought Fan Shuang with him.

Gu Xuan took a few more steps: "The day after tomorrow, when Chibao is sold, how much do you think He Xiao's house can be sold for?"

"Not many people know the news..." Yuwen Xu thought for a while, "about two thousand taels, it's hard to go higher."

This price is not cheap.

"Look, He Xiao really dares to develop Youhu recklessly, without considering the reaction of the other side?"

"Opposite side" refers to Qingyang Regent.

Yuwen Xu smiled bitterly: "If I were to receive this task, I would be so worried that I would lose my appetite, right?"

Everyone is an old hand in the officialdom, and everyone can guess what King Yao wants He Xiao to do.

If there is a choice, he doesn't want to offend either the monarch or the regent.

However, He Xiao seems to be very happy to be the monarch's tool man.

"What can He Xiao rely on?" Gu Xuan's eyes turned slightly, "Could it be that it was Imperial Master Shuangye?"

"If he didn't have this background, the king wouldn't use him." Yuwen Xu was self-reliant and definitely didn't have such courage, "The news in the palace said that it was He Xiao who proposed the development of Youhu Lake to the king."

"He Xiao proposed it himself?" Gu Xuan was surprised, "Wealth and honor are sought in danger. He is really brave enough."

This is to offend Qingyang Regent to death.

If He Xiao really made that hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, he might not be so jealous.

That's all money to buy lives.

"If he hadn't been so determined, how could the king hand over Youhu Lake to a foreign businessman with no foundation to develop?" Yuwen Xu chuckled, "Besides, it's not the first time that He Xiao offended Qingyang Regent. Maybe he has some experience."

After saying this, both of them laughed.

It's really funny.

…

Early in the morning of the next day, Yangshan Chamber of Commerce went to various government offices to submit the information of Youhu Villa.

If He Lingchuan wanted to move the land of Youhu, even if King Yao nodded, he still had to go to eleven or twelve government offices to go through the procedures.

After all, it was the royal territory, not just digging a ditch in the suburbs. All the necessary procedures and seals were necessary.

The efficiency of Tianshui City's government offices was the best in the world. With the approval of King Yao for "special matters to be handled specially", Yangshan Chamber of Commerce took only seven or eight hours to reach the last two steps.

Then, it was stuck.

The Imperial Household Department determined that the planning and layout of Youhu Villa was not reasonable, the use of labor and materials was not clear enough, and the drawing structure needed to be rectified.

Yangshan Chamber of Commerce revised it overnight and submitted it the next day.

It was still not passed, and the Imperial Household Department found three more loopholes and asked Yangshan to make further changes.

He Lingchuan knew that the so-called "rectification" would have no end. As long as people wanted to, they could find a hundred or eighty faults for him at any time, and they would get back as many times as they sent him. So he immediately asked someone to find Huang Naxuan, who was still drinking in Maochunlou the day before, and asked him what was going on.

Huang Naxuan only sent back one message privately:

Lord He Yanghe, who was under the Qingyang Regent, came to the Imperial Household Office overnight the day before yesterday.
