Chapter 49: The Villa, the Ship, and the Consultation
While talking, Zhao Ran received the flying talisman from Li Dayin, pondered for a moment, and said to Shi Weiming: "There is one more thing. The envoy Fei Fu from Liyuan of Yuanfu Palace told me that Abbot Zhuang... Abbot Zhuang knows who it is.
What?"
Shi Weiming nodded: "Old abbot Wenchangguan, I know this."
Zhao Ran said: "Abbot Zhuang has a cousin, named Wang Chengyu, who has been wandering overseas for half his life. Now he has returned to his hometown of Songjiang and wants to spend the rest of his life in peace. Through Abbot Zhuang, he found the envoy of Li Yuan and planned to use half of his life savings to make real gold.
The investment of silver is to do something. Such returnees care about their hometown and are willing to do something practical for the people in their hometown. This is something we should encourage and support. Just as the Bank of China was preparing to print small-denomination banknotes, Junshan Technology developed
I have a banknote detector that can identify authenticity. I plan to sell this thing to the Li Yuan Envoy, so I will leave it to Wang Chengyu. I hope the Banknote Department will take the lead in purchasing the banknote detector and promote the banknote detector."
Shi Weiming smiled and said: "Wang Chengyu was able to find a way to the abbot. He has really accumulated good deeds in his previous life."
Wang Chengyu also said these words in Yuanfu Palace at the same time, but the person he said it was Li Dayin: "Wang was able to find a way to become Li Yuan's envoy. He has really accumulated good deeds in his previous life."
Li Dayin said: "Fellow Taoist Wang is so polite. I know Lao Zhuang very well. We have worked together in Qixia Mountain for eight years. Although he is a Taoist from the Shifang Jungle, he is right on the mountain in front of my Sanmao Pavilion. I can't see you when you look up."
Yes. Lao Zhuang asked me to do something, what can’t be done? If you go back and understand this Tao thoroughly, start your career and benefit the hometown, it will always be your benefit."
Wang Chengyu thanked him again and again, and then said: "There will be more opportunities to come to Yingtian in the future. Wang wants to find a house in Yingtian. I wonder if the Li Yuan Envoy can help?"
This is a benefit to Li Dayin. In previous years, Li Dayin would have found a house for Wang Chengyu in a blink of an eye, and then increased the price several times to complete the transaction, but today...
Li Dayin took out a rendering of Jiang'an Villa and spread it out in front of Wang Chengyu's eyes. Wang Chengyu's eyes suddenly became clear: "Could this be the legendary Taomen Cave Paradise? Where is it?"
Li Dayin smiled and said: "It is better than the Cave Heaven Blessed Land. It is in the bustling city and feels far away from nature. Old Wang, there are only ninety-nine seats in this villa in Yingtian. How about it? How about a set?"
"How much silver does this cost?"
"Three thousand six hundred taels for Category A and two thousand four hundred taels for Category B."
"What is A and B?"
"The single-family house is A, and the townhouse is B."
"It's really beautiful. Can Ambassador Li tell Wang where the villa is located? Wang wants to take a look now."
"Let's go, I'll take you there, but first let's talk about it, this is an off-the-plan property..."
“What is an off-the-plan property?”
"It hasn't been built yet. It's just blooming but not bearing fruit. The handover of the house will have to be after September next year."
"Ah? This..."
"I've reserved a set myself, do you want it? I really don't have to force it, but I've agreed first that after the Chinese New Year, I'm afraid you won't be able to grab a set. Let me see...it's already sold
Thirty-eight units have been sold out, and there are only six single-family units left, and there are more townhouses, but people are rushing to grab the houses."
"So hot?"
"Let me tell you a little secret. Abbot Zhao plans to change the Feng Shui and allocate spiritual power to this riverside villa area. You can practice it while sitting at home. This is definitely not a lie."
At this moment, Wang Chengyu was horrified and moved: "Oh? You really have to go and see it."
"Come on, I'll take you to see the place. Once you get there, you'll know what an invincible river view is and how you can enjoy it."
In mid-December, Taoist listeners finally got the Four Seasons Bank bank notes issued by the Accounting and Finance Section of the Bridge Headquarters, totaling 36,000 taels of silver. After delivering corals, pearls and other seafood to customers as agreed, they also got a
Sixteen thousand taels of silver. Together with the 70,000 taels of silver that were used to pressurize the warehouse, all was spent.
The brand new 1,000-material sailboat ordered in the first month of this year has been completed by Yingtian Longjiang Shipyard. It is now moored next to the 500-material sailboat on Luoye Island. People who listened to the wind looked up at the tall mast and felt happy.
He picked up the flowers and sighed: "Our Luoye Island can be considered as having its own large ship with thousands of materials!"
Yang Xianxian also looked up at the large ship. A line of words popped up on the whiteboard behind his neck: "Spectacular...Twenty-five thousand taels of silver, so expensive!"
Taoist Tingfeng shook his head: "Don't think so. Although it is indeed half the price, we still got the ship a year in advance. That is the most important thing."
The sailors of Luoye Island are loading the goods onto the two ships to be purchased back to the island. Porcelain and silk are in bulk, which will be the main source of goods for the next step to be sold to Southeast Asia. The bottom of the ship is packed with rice, which is the last three months of Luoye Island.
Food, the most valuable ones are magical instruments and talismans, elixirs and elixirs, which are the guarantee of the island's military strength. The rest include fresh water, medicines, wine, pickles, cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, dogs and other living animals, as well as many books.
In addition, Tingfeng Taoist also asked his subordinates to buy a lot of children's toys, such as kites, spinning tops, chain locks, pictures, etc. There are hundreds of children on Luoye Island now. These are the future of the island. Happy New Year
Yes, we have to let the children have fun.
In the afternoon, when everything was loaded, Taoist Tingfeng waved to Taoist Bujie who came off the boat to see him off: "Bujie, we will come back to see you in the first half of the year."
Taoist Bujiu waved her hand and nodded lightly. Suchuan Yao beside her watched curiously as the two ships beside the pier untied their cables, weighed anchor and left, merged into the thousands of sails on the river, and headed downstream.
Tingfeng sighed and said, "Advanced, do you think Section Chief Pei is better-looking, or Manager Su?"
Yang Xianjin typed out subtitles: "One is the section chief and the other is the manager. How you choose depends on your life plan."
Tingfeng shook his head and said: "Don't think about it being so complicated, okay? Let's just talk about appearance, okay? Why are you so powerful?"
Yang Xianjin typed out the subtitle: "One has long legs and a tight waist, and the other has a soft figure. It depends on what you like."
Tingfeng said: "Which one do you like?"
Yang Xianjin continued to type subtitles: "One is Abbot Zhao's junior sister Geshan, and the other is Abbot Zhao's direct disciple. It is unrealistic to like either one."
Tingfeng said disappointedly: "Can you please stop being so realistic..."
On the bank of the river, Suchuan Yao and Taoist Bujiu turned around and walked back. Suchuan Yao asked: "Senior Bujiu, the site selection for the Huiminji Medical Hall has been completed. There is no need for senior to contribute a penny, but I hope senior can bring some help."
An apprentice, this is our condition."
Taoist Buju immediately agreed: "I think so too. Saving the world and saving people is the purpose of my inheritance. I hope it can start as soon as possible."
Suchuan Yaodao: "That is the courtyard where an official resigned from his hometown. Tomorrow I will go to apply for the deeds and hire someone to repair it as soon as possible. But it will be the first day of the new year soon, and we can only wait until after the Lantern Festival before we can start construction. So, I want to start a consultation.
It has to be March next year anyway."
"It doesn't matter. During these days, I can make house calls."
"I have arranged for senior to temporarily stay at Jimingguan. If someone nearby has a disease, I will specially contact him to help him."
"Xiao Su, if something happens to a pregnant woman, you can come to me. I'm better at saving the fetus."
"I made a note of it. Abbot Zhao originally wanted to meet with the senior today, but he suddenly had to go out on urgent matters. He asked me to apologize to the senior and come back to visit him after he comes back in a few days."
