When Wen Ya returned to Tao Ya Ju, Qing Yu was talking to Hong Tao, "...the houses are all for daily leasing, and the shops are for annual leasing."
Hong Tao nodded and saw Wen Ya entering the room, so she greeted, "Senior sister is back."
Wen Ya sat down and said, "I gave the drawings to Cao Shen, and Cao Shen promised to send the other 20,000 peach saplings to Tongyuan in two days."
Qingyu nodded slightly, "With the help of Zhou Mu, this matter can be done quickly."
Hongtao had nothing to say, so she said, "Then I'll go to Tongyuan first." She had to be busy there.
...
Shortly after Hong Tao left, Lao Jiang, who had been promoted from the waiting room of Juxianzhai, arrived at Taoyaju. After seeing Qing Yu, he took out a contract.
"Third Miss, I rented a two-story shop on Haitong Street. The location is good, at the junction of the inner and outer circles, and the people living around are relatively wealthy. Moreover, the shop was originally a restaurant, with tables, chairs and benches inside.
complete.
The first floor can accommodate twenty tables, and there are eight private rooms on the second floor. The rental fee is thirty-five taels per month. I compared it with other shops around and found that the price is quite suitable. The most important thing is that you don’t need to prepare a table yourself.
As needed, it can be opened before spring recruitment.
Because there were several people looking at the shop at the time, I was worried that someone would beat me to it, so I signed the contract on my own initiative."
Qingyu looked at the contents of the contract and saw that there was nothing wrong with it. He said with approval: "You can make the decision on these matters." Then he gave a stack of recruitment notices and said, "Other contents have been written down. You just need to complete the address.
In addition, although it is good to open as soon as possible, don't be too hasty, especially in terms of candidates, you must carefully select the candidates, past experience, character, etc., and you would rather miss the opening time than casually perfunctory." There were hearts last time.
Judging from the appearance, Hongtao also had something to do this time, so Qingyu had to give some more advice.
"By the way, you can tell Ye Qiu to find a group of day laborers and go to the city gates and downtown areas to shout and sing the name of Juxianzhai."
Lao Jiang quickly handed over his hand and made repeated promises before saying goodbye and leaving.
After Lao Jiang left, the other four newly promoted shopkeepers also came to report to Qingyu one after another.
Because it is a separate restaurant, and it is aimed at people with lower spending power in the outer circle, it is not as elaborately decorated as the main restaurant. Therefore, it is much faster to confirm the location of the shops. In one day, Qingyu directly received five
Deeds and recruitment notices were all posted.
The opening of the Juxian Zhai branch can be said to be very smooth.
...
On the other side, Hongtao came to Tongyuan, first gathered the four people in one place, and said to the four of them: "The spring recruitment of Shange is coming soon. Now many outsiders have entered Yinzhou City, and there is a huge demand for accommodation.
This is a great opportunity for Tongyuan. We should try our best to use all the houses in Tongyuan.
I have two ideas, please listen:
The first is to increase the number of guest rooms. We each notify residents in each area that if they have vacancies and are willing, they can clean up their homes and rent them out during the spring recruitment period.
The second is to build up the reputation of Tongyuan. Everyone has a toothworm they know, so let them not run around in the city during this period, but go to places near the city gates."
Lian Fang deliberately said sourly: "What about the more than 300 houses you have on hand? How do you plan for them?"
Hong Tao said: "Everything is rented on a daily basis. Just like an inn, tenants can stay for a few days, and the rent is paid on a daily basis, but there is one thing. They can only live in it until the end of March at most, and then all my houses will be sold. In addition,
I want to rent out the shop with a one-year contract."
The Heitan-headed man was honest and did not mince words when he spoke, "You are definitely going to make a fortune this time. You have almost all of the more than 300 houses for sale in Tongyuan."
The average price of those houses was more than 90 taels when they were bought, but in just one month, the highest price had risen to 120 taels. In one month, they could earn more than 9,000 taels, but for a few people like Heitan,
Very envious.
The short man did not hide his envy: "Hey...if I didn't have enough money, I would also like to buy two houses. Everyone is a fan of the house, how come you have so much money?" More than three hundred houses, a single book
The gold is just over 30,000 taels. He doesn't know if he can earn so much in his life.
Hong Tao joked: "Anyway, if it is sold, you will earn the commission. Remember to sell all my houses first."
He always wears a turban on his head with a wry smile: "The houses for sale are almost all yours now. If they don't sell yours, they will be sold to whomever."
Even Fang Fang knew a little bit about the details of Hongtao, so it was not surprising at all. He was just worried: "Actually, I have also thought about increasing the number of guest rooms in Tongyuan, but signing the contract is a troublesome matter. Although it is like an inn
It’s the same, but we are not an inn after all, so it’s a bit against the rules.”
The implication is, my aunt, do you want to go to the Yamen and go through the back door to ask about the situation?
Hong Tao also came to Dao'er and continued: "I will go to the Yamen this afternoon to ask if we can handle it specially during special times."
"We need to find more toothworms. We know a few of us, so there are only about forty people in total, right?" the short man suggested.
Hongtao nodded: "Yes, let the toothworm go find other toothworms, look for more, preferably a hundred or so, and go to the city gate to shout. During this period, we will increase the toothworm's commission by two points.
The government will not care about such a harmless price increase."
"Make up another jingle." Dai Turban said enthusiastically, "Shout it at the gates of every city every day. I don't believe that no one will know about Tongyuan."
After several people discussed it for a long time, they decided. Finally, Hongtao planned to go to the Yamen. She didn't want to see Hucao's latest notice posted on the notice wall in Tongyuan as soon as she walked out of Tongyuan.
It turns out that the Yamen's considerations were similar to theirs. Not only did they encourage residents to free up their spare rooms for daily rentals, but they also allowed short-term rentals of less than fifteen days without a contract.
In this way, not only the office will be much more convenient, but also the Yamen. Hongtao will also save a trip.
...
As the yamen promulgated more and more temporary decrees to welcome the spring recruitment of Shange, the entire Yinzhou City gradually became busier. Street halls, yamen, etc. could be seen on the streets supervising and patrolling at any time.
Two days later, the 20,000 peach saplings promised by Cao Shen were also delivered to Tongyuan.
Qingyu followed Hongtao to Tongyuan. First, she cooperated with several people from Lianfang to distribute 20,000 peach saplings to the households in Tongyuan. Each household was given two saplings and asked everyone to plant the saplings in their own yards.
In front of the door.
Because it was issued by the Yamen, and the better the environment in Tongyuan, the better it would be for the residents, so everyone was very cooperative.
After sending them to Tongyuan, there were still more than 16,000 peach saplings left. Qingyu packed the remaining peach saplings into Xuannv Hall, and went to the east gate with Hong Tao.
Jiang Mutou is leading dozens of master craftsmen to inspect every part of the newly built mountain pavilion. At this time, the project has basically been completed, and it is just waiting to clean up the remaining materials left on the ground before it is completed.
When he was told that the second and third ladies of his employer had arrived, Jiang Mutou simply took them with him and carefully inspected them from top to bottom. Both Qingyu and Hongtao were very satisfied.
