Mingyan has been very, very depressed these days. After breaking her right hand, she can no longer hold a gun, can no longer run freely on the battlefield, and can no longer be the second master's right-hand man. What's more important is that she is a handsome young man, and now
He became an ugly man with one arm, and he didn't know whether the little maid in Dongfu who had sex with him disliked him or not, and he was almost worried to death.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) has entered Mingyan's room three times, and his mouth is almost dry, but Mingyan is still depressed, this is the fourth time.
"Actually, the most important thing for a man is not to be good-looking, but to be rich. If you are very, very rich, not to mention a little girl from Dongfu, even a eldest lady from an official family, you can get her... What's more, I still have
I can grow a new baby for you, and it is guaranteed to look exactly the same as now..."
"Really? Second Master, why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me depressed for several days. You are becoming more and more unreasonable now." Mingyan opened the quilt and looked at Baoyu with expectant eyes.
"I can make you a hand that is exactly the same as the real hand. I will make it for you when I return to the capital. But your current identity is my financial manager. What you have to do is to buy everything in Yili House.
Buy all the land, especially the big desert, do you understand what I’m saying?”
"I didn't... didn't understand." The banknotes Ming Yan carried with her were two million taels, which were all earned from restaurants in the capital over the past year.
Half of the restaurants in the capital now belong to the second master. The second master is the incarnation of the "God of Wealth" in Mingyan's mind. Mingyan came to Xinjiang with more than 20 shopkeepers because the second master said he wanted to make a fortune.
As soon as he entered Xinjiang, Mingyan fell in love with Xinjiang's furs, jujubes and cantaloupes. If they were shipped to the mainland, they would be worth his money.
But now the second master asked him to buy all these barren deserts. This makes people confused. Does the second master want to traffic sand? This is so worthless!
"Then I'll say it again, buy all the deserts for me, do you understand?"
"Second Master, I know you are rich now, but there is no way to waste money like this. Look, these places you are referring to are large saline-alkali lands. Not to mention growing crops, even growing grass, there is no grass.
Long; also, in these big deserts, even the desert wolf really doesn’t want to take a look, why do you think you bought it?”
"I'm going to buy these big deserts, and then bring in massive amounts of water from Jhumlang Maalin in Tibet ("Alin" is Manchu, meaning "mountain"), and then turn them into fruit trees.
What do you think..."
There was no way to listen. Seeing the joking look on Mr. Bao's face, Mingyan knew that her second master was lying.
This is a big liar, the biggest liar in the world! How big of a project it is to bring the water from "Jumlang Ma'alin" here, even if everyone in the Celestial Dynasty works hard for a hundred years without eating or drinking.
It may not be possible to complete.
I won’t talk to the second master now, just go ahead and execute it with a dull head, otherwise the “little monster” will not know what will happen to him.
Holding her broken arm, she started running to various yamen to sign documents. Mingyan couldn't stand the way the bookkeepers of the prefecture and county yamen looked at them like they were looking at fools, especially the northernmost one.
When Huang Daguang, the magistrate of Kurganta County, a small county, heard that Mingyan wanted to buy the desert, it only took half an hour from the beginning to the end to sign the documents. In this half hour, this skinny old man's
My mouth was split to the back of my head. I bought 30,000 taels of white silver in the desert in the west. This is a big ingot falling from the sky.
Even the most brainless desert vulture would not believe that there are treasures in these deserts. Huang Daguang has been looking for people to dig for them for three years. There is nothing but sand in the desert.
There was also the bookkeeper of Yili County, the same skinny old man. He was holding the banknotes and crying. I heard that the new "Western Governor", Mr. Xiaojia, was the "God of Wealth", but I didn't expect that he was a boy who gave away money.
Ah, fifty thousand taels of silver were spent on the saline-alkali land to the west of Yili Prefecture. Even the least picky camels won’t eat the grass growing on these saline-alkali lands.
Simple, clear and neat, this is the style of the Mingyan team. In just half a month, most of the land in Yili Prefecture became Mr. Bao's. The northwest is vast and sparsely populated, and you can buy hundreds of hectares of land with just the same money.
There are no measuring sticks, just go wherever the buyer says.
Lord Obai is back with the team of "beating up the drowned dogs". The "Cossack Brigade" has been driven out of the country for hundreds of miles. If it weren't for the lack of supplies, Lord Obai would be like the "God's Whip Huns" back then.
Like Tira, it could go straight to the English Channel in Europe, or it could sweep across the entire Eurasian continent like the Mongolian army.
As soon as I entered Yili Mansion, I heard that Baoyu's minions were buying up land on a large scale. I didn't know if this guy had more money to support himself. He actually bought land in this useless place. It was simply stupid to the extreme.
Since you are going to be taken advantage of, let me make you even more unjust. Obai walked into Yili City Mansion and picked up the jade from the couch, "Boy, I want to buy Yili Mansion for five hundred thousand taels of silver.
Is there such a cheap thing? What are you looking at? I am still in charge of the household department. The matter of buying and selling land and collecting money is just within my scope of authority... Tell me, boy, what treasure have you discovered that is worthy of such a big fight?
?”
"What kind of treasure can there be? Let's do this. I'll price the collected land at 200,000 taels of silver and sell it to the Grand Tutor. And I can pay it in installments. I only pay 20,000 taels of silver every year and pay it off in ten years. How about that?"
Why is it so difficult to do something good now? I just can’t bear to see the poverty of the people, so I can’t take some money out of my pocket and use it to improve their lives, isn’t it?”
"I don't care about that. If you want to buy these lands, you can spend another three hundred thousand taels of silver. Otherwise, hey, boy, I guarantee that you won't get the contract documents from the court, and your five hundred thousand taels of white silver will be wasted.
.”
Looking at Baoyu's face turning white and purple, Oboi felt happier than ever. This boy was always used to having things go smoothly, especially when it came to making money. Now seeing him falter, nothing made Master Obai happier than this.
"Master Taifu, please call the public to avenge yourself. If you return to the capital at worst, you can just make me a city gate official."
"Come on, I'm not that stingy. Two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, if you lose even a cent, I will make your previous money go down the drain."
"One hundred thousand taels of silver is only so much, but I have to mobilize two hundred thousand strong men from Yili Prefecture to work as laborers. Of course, I will give these people wages."
How much is too much? Mr. Obai took the banknote from Baoyu and left. When he turned around, he saw the snicker on Baoyu's lips. His heart skipped a beat, "If you want to be bad, this kid never does loss-making business. Could it be that he doesn't do business at a loss?"
Did he really find some great treasure in this deserted place?"
(What is Baoyu’s purpose in buying those large deserts? Is there really any treasure? Please see the next chapter for analysis)
