Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "Weeping for poverty. A few wealthy families in the Central Plains can come up with 1.5 million yuan in peace money. How can you not come up with it?"
Huangfuji did not answer directly, "Water, access, communication, steam, land leveling, sewers and other infrastructure are the standards for laying a solid foundation. The standard of five thousand taipings per mu of land is really not much, except for
The cost of manpower has been kept to a minimum."
"We don't engage in those fictitious things, don't talk about big principles, and consider real economic accounts. After completion, we plan to use all 300 acres of land as commercial land. We roughly estimated that based on the minimum income of 30,000 per mu of land,
In terms of Taiping money, the price of some prime locations is even higher, and the total income will not be less than 10 million Taiping money. In this way, the game will be settled."
Qi Xuansu stood up, nodded slightly, and agreed, "I have been to St. York. Such a prime location is indeed hard to find."
Huangfu Ji also stood up and said, "Look, the income is still considerable, but we need some start-up funds now."
Qi Xuansu spread his hands and said, "Brother Li Ming, if you go around and around, you still end up with money. Where can I find you 1.5 million yuan in peace money? My big house is worth 1.45 million yuan in peace money."
, I have all my money from my previous life, this life, and my next life here, just take it."
"You are the one crying for poverty." Huangfu said, "Just now you said that a few wealthy households in the Central Plains just scraped together and took it out, and now they have no money? Besides, I'm not asking you for money.
I would like to ask the Taoist sect for support."
Qi Xuansu refused and said, "It's not that you don't know that this topic is very sensitive now. The vote in the Jinque discussion was six to six. There is no advantage at all. Support is absolutely impossible."
"It's not for nothing, it's just a loan." Huangfu Ji said immediately, "There is really no other way."
Qi Xuansu said nothing.
Huangfuji then said, "The loan is 1.5 million yuan of peace money, with 300 acres of land as collateral. We will pay back whatever the interest is."
Qi Xuansu said, "Good fellow, the three hundred acres of wasteland that are still on the drawings will be exchanged for 1.5 million in peace money. You are a waste of money."
Huangfu Ji said, "Old Qi, in addition to talking about money, we also have to talk about the friendship between Taoists. We are all brothers who worship the same Taoist ancestor. We can't write two characters of 'Tao' in one sentence."
Qi Xuansu thought for a while and said, "That's it, I'll put forward a compromise condition. If the development fails, you just pay back the money. But if the development succeeds, we want one hundred acres of land."
Huangfu Ji pointed at Qi Xuansu, "Okay, you are a black-hearted profiteer. Calculate it based on thirty thousand Taiping money per acre."
, one hundred acres of land is equivalent to three million Taiping money, which is doubled, and it is not so ruthless even after nine outings and thirteen outings."
Qi Xuansu laughed and felt confident, "My brothers will settle the score, so you can decide whether to borrow it or not."
"Of course I have to borrow it." Huangfu Ji did not hesitate at all, "But I also have a condition. These three hundred acres of land are only the first phase of the project. There will be a second phase of the project and a third phase of the project. You must also support it.
, it’s still a loan, we’ll pay it back.”
This is Huangfu Ji's true intention. No matter how poor Xidaomen is, he can still come up with 1.5 million Taiping money. The key is that there are still two phases of the project and the third phase of the project. That's the big one. The first one
The first-phase project is actually a bait, or a thousand dollars to buy a horse bone. As long as Daomen is willing to give up, the amount of profit is a trivial matter. The so-called heartache naturally has some elements of performance, so that he can be in a weak position. If he doesn't care, Daomen will
Don't care anymore.
Qi Xuansu can naturally see this, but this is in line with his idea of mutual assistance and development, each getting what it needs, and both parties getting what they want, which is a win-win situation.
So Qi Xuansu nodded in agreement and said, "Okay. That's it."
Although Qi Xuansu is not the chief of Shibotang, he now has enough strength to leverage some resources and influence some decisions.
Huangfu has his sights set on Qi Xuansu, not because he has no other options, but because he wants to establish his own personal connections. Most of the connections of the older generation are now old people. Power will eventually be transferred to the hands of young people, so take a long-term view.
, naturally we have to start from the younger generation.
Early the next morning, Qi Xuansu started working on this matter. Maybe some people were not familiar with Qi Xuansu, but there were so many banners that Qi Xuansu could use. If the one from Master Cihang didn't work, he would use the one from Master Donghua.
There are Celestial Masters and Qiniangs, and there is always one who is suitable. He can facilitate this matter, and he is also building his own network invisibly.
On the other side, Master Donghua has already begun arranging the apprenticeship ceremony. With his status as Master Donghua, he can temporarily commandeer a palace in Xuandu or Zifu to hold this matter. However, Master Donghua does not want to do this.
He finally chose a place in Kunlun Cave. There was no palace, but a green grassland, which was more open.
Qi Xuansu went there once and met Wang Danqing and Wang Jiaohe.
Of course, this place is very big, and what Qi Xuansu saw was just the tip of the iceberg. Ziweitang called this place "Emerald"
Cuiyuan".
There is no need to arrange anything, at most it is a matter of arranging a few chairs.
The key is the invited guests.
The status of Master Donghua and Qi Xuansu determines that the status of the guests will not be low, and it can even be said that the threshold is very high. Master Donghua has already sent invitation letters to the third division. It is their business not to come, but Master Donghua definitely has
The qualifications for issuing an invitation are far from abrupt.
Of course, the three masters declined. The Heavenly Master and the Earth Master were not in Yujing at the time, and the reason given by the National Master was that they were busy with business.
Of the remaining three "princes", Master Donghua is the person involved, Master Cihang is bound to come, and even Master Qingwei has agreed. In terms of magnanimity, Master Qingwei is still hard to fault.
Further down, among the great masters of Pingzhang, Jiang Dazhen, Shi Dazhen, and Lan Daren will also be invited to go - Landa Zhenren has always been very free.
Yao Shu, as Qi Xuansu's old boss in Borneo Taoist Mansion and Donghua Zhenren's old subordinate in Ziweitang, would naturally come.
Zhang Yuelu is coming, and so is Pei Xiaolou.
Xu Jiaorong couldn't come. She had to stay behind, otherwise almost all the top officials of the Borneo Taoist government would mobilize. If something unexpected happened, there wouldn't even be anyone to make the decision.
This list also includes Xu Dacheng, Sun Hewu, Xu Xiaoying, Qi Jiaozheng, Zhang Jucheng, Zhang Juping, Zhang Juqi, Tantai Qiong, Shen Mingxin, Lei Xiaohuan, Shi Bingyun, Pei Xiaoyun, Ning Lingge, Ning Yuqing,
Bai Yingqiong, Yao Pei, Qi Muyu, Xie Jiaofeng, Ye Qingshuang, Huangfuji, Zhou Jiaoxian, Su Qingbai, Jiachen Lingguan, Ding Chou Lingguan, etc., etc.
These are only those who have intersection with Qi Xuansu, there are many who have no intersection with Qi Xuansu, and they are all here for the face of Master Donghua.
The total number of people on the list has exceeded the hundred-person mark, and they are all high-level members of the Taoist sect.
Therefore, the small circle at the top of the Taoist sect is actually not very big. You can get involved in many ways, including old bosses, old subordinates, old colleagues, or relatives and friends who have learned from others, etc.
In short, they are all fellow Taoists.
When people have conflicts and differences, it's usually not because of personal matters. So they give each other face when it comes to weddings, funerals, having children, and accepting disciples.
It is foreseeable that when Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu get married, there will be no small battles. Many people will come to support them, including political opponents.
Recently, many people have been asking about Qi Xuansu's marriage.
At this time, a group of people from the Borneo Taoist Office had already set off for Yujing.
Yao Shu, Zhang Yuelu, Pei Xiaolou and others all took the
Zhang Yuelu also brought Xiao Yin with him on Landa Zhenren's boat, and Xiao Yin was also invited to participate in the ceremony.
Xiao Yin is a child who has seen the big world and is not afraid of this.
Feizhou then went to the Jiangnan Prefectures and picked up other people who were going to Yujing to attend the ceremony.
In addition to people from the Zhang family, there are also Bai Yingqiong, Lei Xiaohuan and others.
Although the wind is fierce and the cold is biting, it is nothing to the gods. At this time, several people are standing on the deck, and Xiao Yin simply sits on the guardrail, with his two calves dangling leisurely, his hair blowing in the wind, and his clothes
The sound of hunting.
Zhang Yuelu and the other women chatted while admiring the scenery.
Bai Yingqiong is very angry now because she met Bai Xiaojin's father a few days ago and the two broke up on bad terms. Naturally, she was unhappy at this time.
Tantai Qiong asked about their relationship.
Because it had happened many years ago, Bai Yingqiong had no worries and came together one by one.
It turned out that Bai Xiaojin's father had a former sweetheart. For some reasons, the two separated, but they were not completely separated emotionally. Even after the man and Bai Yingqiong had Bai Xiaojin, they were still disconnected from their ex. If anything happened to his ex, he would immediately say hello.
So he went to help. As for the woman, she had never married and was entangled with men.
The reason why Bai Yingqiong chose this man was because she herself had a bad past, so she settled for the next best thing.
At that time, Bai Yingqiong considered that the child was still young and did not want to break up with him. It was also out of dignity. She did not want to cause a drama of stealing a man, causing trouble in the city and losing face. How can she make progress in the future? How can she be a real person?
?
So Bai Yingqiong endured it and decided to talk calmly. She said to the man, "Can we raise the child in peace and contentment without second thoughts?"
The man said, "I can't let her go."
In anger, Bai Yingqiong separated from the man, and her daughter also took the surname Bai.
After hearing this, Lei Xiaohuan and Tantai Qiong naturally scolded him.
This is what a dog man should do.
Only Zhang Yuelu remained silent.
Tantai Qiong glanced at her and said something like, "Qingxiao, let's learn from the past, and you can also serve some snacks."
Zhang Yuelu said lightly, "I don't have an ex. As far as I know, Tianyuan doesn't have an ex either. We don't know what an ex is and what entanglement means. Hey, it's really a big loss."
Bai Yingqiong couldn't laugh or cry, "You Zhang Qingxiao, you are showing off here, how hateful!"
