The days when I fished in Daming

"Here, this area on the border with Jiangning County, looks like a flat land with very few hills. How come no one is cultivating it?"

Feng Tongpan looked at where Zheng Xiong pointed.

"This is a piece of loess hilly land between low hills in the north and south. Farming is difficult. A heavy rain may destroy all the crops."

"Coupled with the inconvenient roads, over time, no one cultivated the land, and there were few people living inside."

"So now it's a wasteland."

No wonder, it is possible to grow crops on loess soil, but the soil erosion is severe and the root systems of ordinary crops are underdeveloped. This is the result.

If it is underdeveloped, it can only be left uncultivated. It will be much better if it is overgrown with bushes.

Such a vicious cycle cannot be exploited.

However, whoever stipulated that crops must be grown.

Can't you plant trees?
Ten years is a long time to grow trees, and it is not necessary to plant trees.

The most important thing is that it is straight!The southern road to Jiangning County is almost a straight line.

As long as the hilly area is opened up and a straight road is built, this area has great prospects.

At least three to five times the income is not a problem.

"My brothers want to buy some of this place. How much do you think it will cost?"

After asking for a long time, are feelings waiting here?
Feng Tongpan calculated it carefully in his mind. This land is not valuable. If you buy the land, you have to develop it!After development, you have to pay taxes, no matter how you calculate it, the gain outweighs the loss.

"This place has a total of ten thousand hectares of land, a total of 120 million acres. The price is not expensive, one hundred cents per mu, a total of 12 taels."

"But the area where the Qinhuai River flows has been cultivated and has been owned for a long time. If you want to buy it, you can only buy it in a remote place. The total is about 10 taels. How much does the Marquis' brother want to buy?"

After listening, Zheng Xiong fell silent.

It's not high, but too low. It's actually one hundred cents per acre, just like picking it up for free.

It feels unreal to be able to buy half of Jiangning's land in the blink of an eye.

Zheng Xiong turned to look at the two people on the side.

"Second brother and third brother, how much money do you two have?"

I'll go, I don't really want to buy it!
My dear brother, please don’t play with us.

"Brother, after considering this place, we still don't want to buy it. Do you think it's okay?"

It has a great future!

If you two want to back off, what can you do?

I don't know, I was taken aback.

Now it's not a question of whether you two want to make money or not.

I want to make a fortune myself.

I will rely on it for my future pension.

How could I have the nerve to take it without you two standing in the way?
"No, why are you so dilly-dallying and acting like a child?"

"hurry up."

Both of them were about to cry!

With this little capital, a proper loss-making business would be fine, and retirement would become a luxury.

You shouldn’t mention making money!

Looking at each other, the two slowly raised two fingers.

"200 taels? It's a little less!"

I don’t dare to let you say it anymore!

The two replied weakly.

"It's 20 taels!"

"I know, it's 200 taels per person, 400 taels in total. My dad also wants to buy it, so we can make up 1000 taels."

"We can't buy ten thousand hectares, so just buy ten thousand acres!"

I was about to cry but now I actually cried.

I don’t have much money to begin with, so 20 taels is already my limit. Where can I get 200 taels?
Moreover, Zheng Xiong didn't even give him a chance to speak, he made the decision himself.

After deciding what to do, he started enclosing the land directly.

"From here to the Jiangning County seat."

After thinking about it, Zheng Xiong directly gave a range.

"Just this area! Give me [-] acres."

The territory was finally settled, and Feng Tongpan only took a casual look at it.Is there a problem?completely fine.

"The land that the Marquis wants is large and ownerless, so the government office can give it cheaper."

Looking at Feng Tongpan's probing eyes, Zheng Xiong instantly understood what he meant.

As the head of a mansion, it is reasonable for him to take advantage.

If you really want to buy wasteland, don’t be a fool if there is a discount.

But I don’t really want to buy it!
Just in case you make money and others get jealous and cause any trouble, just forget it!
"Whatever price this place is sold for is the price, just treat everyone equally."

"I don't look down on some discounts. If I really take them, wouldn't I be giving others a chance to talk?"

"Forget it, don't mention this again."

"Just go and get the land deed document ready. Give it to my two brothers to sign later. Just give me my father's copy. Qian's office will send someone back to pick it up and deliver it later."

The idea came true. Since Zheng Xiong didn't want to take advantage of this, Feng Tongpan didn't say much.

"Then, Lord Marquis, you are busy. I will go and prepare now."

"Ah."

The judge turned and left.

The two brothers, Zhang San and Wang Erma, finally got a chance and complained to Zheng Xiong.

"Brother, it's not that we don't believe you, or that we don't want to follow your instructions, it's just that the two of us only had 20 taels of capital, and suddenly it became 200 taels, and we have no place to look for it!"

"If in the past, we could have collected 200 taels through gritted teeth, wouldn't this mean our shop was raided? There really is nothing we can do!"

Zheng Xiong just listened to the two people's complaints.

Still didn't let the two of them see the prospect, otherwise they would have to resort to selling the iron.

Zheng Xiong didn't bother to draw a pie for the two of them and said directly.

"Don't worry! As the eldest brother, can I still harm you two?"

"There is no money to talk about. You two take 20 taels of capital, and I will give the rest."

"But the money can be paid."

"It's really not profitable, so we won't ask you two for it."

"If you make money, you two have to give me half of the profit."

"Besides, we have to say the ugly things first. If we really make money, don't blame me for not taking care of you and letting you make less!"

Seeing Zheng Xiong so confident, the two of them also murmured in their hearts.

But when they thought of so many wastelands, their scalps went numb.

No matter how hard I thought about it, I didn't think of where I could make money.

"Brother is benevolent and righteous. He deserves to make real money. If the two of us are jealous afterwards, wouldn't we be cruel people?"

"Even if eldest brother takes them all away, there will be no difference between the two of us."

The two of them patted their chests in assurance.

Just listen to this.

When it comes to money, it's not uncommon for brothers to turn against each other, let alone these two cheap brothers.

Anyway, there's only so much I can do to help.

The two of them really couldn't see clearly how thick their thighs were, so it was better to part ways as soon as possible to avoid inconvenience to themselves.

"Master Marquis, the land deed document has been prepared. Please take a look at it."

"Ah."

After taking a look at it, he signed for his father's share.

Then he handed the other two copies to the two cheap brothers.

The paperwork is signed and the land deed is obtained.

After bidding farewell to the two brothers, Zheng Xiong said hello to his men and asked his family to send money.

He didn’t say anything specific, just that it was done.

Play money.

It didn't take long at all, and Zheng Qi, who had already prepared it, delivered the money in a hurry.

perfect.

Everything is ready, just waiting to make money.
