Chapter 236
August was coming in a blink of an eye. The weather was not that hot, and Liu's illness was cured.
This month, the emperor issued an imperial edict to allocate some uncultivated land to the major military camps. After completing the daily training, the soldiers would reclaim wasteland, plant food, and be self-sufficient. On the one hand, they would alleviate the pressure on the treasury, and on the other hand, they would prevent some soldiers from having trouble if they had nothing to do.
The imperial edict blocked the mouths of the civil officials who were clamoring for disarmament.
Although this move is a good way to achieve the best of both worlds, the soldiers in the army are a little unacceptable. After all, in their opinion, they came to join the army to defend their country, not to be farmers.
However, even if they find it difficult to accept it, they have to accept it. Because the imperial edict has been issued and the military order has been issued, they can only obey it. After all, the military order is like a mountain.
When Chen Wan heard about this, she thought the emperor was quite wise and actually came up with this method.
In fact, this was not what Xuanyuan Yu thought of, but Murong Li offered this strategy to worry about the disarmament.
On the third day of the August 2018, Manager Zhao went to Anding Hou Mansion to hand over the account book to Murong Li, and the profit last month.
In Qingxin Pavilion, Murong Li, who was sitting on a rattan chair, took a quick look at the account book and handed it over to Mu Qing.
"Boss, this is the profit last month, 200,000 taels." Manager Zhao was holding a box containing silver notes in his hand.
Two hundred thousand taels? It’s another fifty thousand taels more than last month.
He made a profit of 200,000 taels per month. His Zhaixing Tower is really profitable! Of course, this is thanks to the kimchi that is not available outside, Zhaixing Tower can have such a good business.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, let me mention the purchase price of Mrs. Chen's kimchi!" Because of her benefactor's kimchi, they can earn so much money by Zhaixinglou, so they naturally have to make more money from their benefactor.
"I'm just thinking that way," said the shopkeeper Zhao, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, a few days ago, Mrs. Chen asked me to help her see the village!"
Zhuangzi? Murong Li suddenly remembered that she had also mentioned to him about buying a Zhuangzi.
"What kind of thing she wants to buy?" Murong Li asked.
Manager Zhao said: "There is no picky requirement. As long as it is big enough and clean, it is best to have fields around the village to sell together."
Murong Li thought for a while and said, "How about Izumo Villa on the outskirts of the city? If I remember correctly, the 100 acres of fertile land near the villa and a large area of mountainous land in the back mountain are mine."
Manager Zhao frowned and thought, "It's good to have Izumo Villa, but Mrs. Chen only has a budget of 5,000 taels of silver."
If you buy it on your own, you will have to pay 30,000 to 50,000 taels of silver, not to mention those fertile fields and mountains.
"Isn't it enough to sell her for five thousand taels of silver?" Anyway, his farm was still there, and no one lived there.
Manager Zhao said, "This is a bit too ruthless!"
Murong Li smiled and said, "It is better to sell it to someone he is willing to sell it than to keep it, it will be cheaper in the future."
The others he mentioned were his unscrupulous father and the Liu family who had been staring at his business. His illness might suddenly disappear that day, and his industries would naturally become theirs.
Manager Zhao also understood what he meant and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"By the way, don't let Mrs. Chen know that I sold the villa to her." His villa was sold so cheaply. If Mrs. Chen knew that the villa was his own, she would probably not buy it.
Murong Li really underestimated Chen Wan. Even if she knew that this villa belonged to Murong Li and he sold it to her at a low price, she would happily buy it.
