August has entered in a blink of an eye, the weather is not so hot anymore, and Mr. Liu's illness has also improved.
This month, the emperor issued an imperial edict to allocate some uncultivated land to the major military camps. After completing their daily drills, the soldiers were asked to reclaim wasteland, plant food, and become self-sufficient. This would relieve the pressure on the treasury. Secondly, it also prevents some soldiers from causing trouble because they have nothing to do.
This imperial edict immediately blocked the mouths of those civil servants who clamored for disarmament.
Although this move is a good way to get the best of both worlds, the soldiers in the army find it difficult to accept it. After all, in their view, they are soldiers to protect their homes and country, not to be farmers.
But even if it is difficult for them 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 Shen Wan heard about this, she thought the emperor was quite wise for coming up with this method.
In fact, Xuanyuan Yu did not come up with this, but Murong Li came up with this strategy after seeing his uncle worried about disarmament.
On the third day of August, shopkeeper Zhao went to Anding Houfu to hand over the account book and last month's profit to Murong Li.
In Qingxin Pavilion, Murong Li, who was sitting on a wicker chair, glanced at the account book and handed it to Mu Qing.
"Boss, this is last month's profit, two hundred thousand taels." Shopkeeper Zhao held the box containing the banknotes in his hand.
Two hundred thousand taels? Fifty thousand taels more than last month.
With a profit of two hundred thousand taels a month, his Zhaixinglou is really profitable! Of course, it is also thanks to the kimchi that is not available outside that Zhaixinglou can have such a good business.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, please raise the purchase price of Mrs. Shen's kimchi to her!" Because of their benefactor's kimchi, they were able to earn so much money in Zhaixinglou. Naturally, they had to let their benefactor earn more.
"That's what I had in mind." Shopkeeper Zhao said as he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, a few days ago, Mrs. Shen even asked me to help her look at a village!"
Zhuangzi? Murong Li suddenly remembered that she had also mentioned buying Zhuangzi to him.
"What kind of one does she want to buy?" Murong Li asked.
Shopkeeper Zhao said: "I don't have any particular requirements, as long as it's big enough, neat and clean, it's best to have fields around Zhuangzi to sell them together."
Murong Li thought for a moment and said, "What about my Izumo Villa on the outskirts of the city? If I remember correctly, the one hundred acres of farmland near the Villa and a large area of ​​mountainous land in the back are mine."
Shopkeeper Zhao frowned and thought for a while and said: "Izumo Villa is good, but Mrs. Shen only has a budget of five thousand taels."
Just buying the Izumo Villa alone would cost 30,000 to 50,000 taels of silver, not to mention the fertile fields and mountains.
"Can't we just sell it to her for 5,000 taels of silver?" Anyway, his village was just left as it was, and no one lived in it.
Shopkeeper Zhao said: "The low price is too harsh!"
Murong Li smiled and said: "It is better to sell it cheaply to someone who is willing to sell it than to keep it and make it cheaper for others in the future."
The other people he spoke of were his heartless father, and the Liu mother and son who had been eyeing his business development. With his illness, he might suddenly die that day, and his properties would naturally become Their.
Shopkeeper Zhao also understood the meaning of his words and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"By the way, don't let Mrs. Shen know that I sold the villa to her." His villa was sold so cheaply. If Mrs. Shen knew that the villa belonged to her, she probably wouldn't buy it.
Murong Li really underestimated Shen Wan. Even if she knew that this villa belonged to Murong Li and that he sold it to her at a low price, she would be very happy to buy it.
