Chapter 71 Champa Rice
"I bought this shop, and I also want this house." Song Wumian felt that if this house could have the quality of the Governor's Mansion, it would be worth the price, and besides, it could also make friends with Lord Sima in front of him, so what?
Not happy.
"Okay, the total price is six thousand three hundred taels, full payment or mortgage?" Xu Yi asked while writing the sales contract, it's a big deal.
"What is a mortgage?" Song Wumian felt that this trip was the right one. Not only did he see new things, he also learned new vocabulary.
"Mortgage means paying half first, then using the deed to purchase the property as collateral, borrowing the other half from the bank, and then you pay the bank money on a monthly basis. Of course, the bank charges interest, but this house is a high-quality asset, and the interest is
"It's very low." Xu Yi said calmly, these ideas were all thought up by his own adults. I really don't know how he has such a brain. Not to mention, since he got this mortgage, the house has become much easier to sell. In the countryside,
Many small landowners came to buy properties.
"Let's pay the full amount and bring the silver for Master Sima to count." The dignified eldest son of the Song family is not short of this money. When the entourage heard this, he quickly went out and asked someone to bring the silver in.
"Okay, the procedures are complete. Just press your fingerprint here and it's done. The house will be handed over at the end of this year and will be exchanged for a house deed." Xu Yi handed the contract to Song Wumian, and then directly counted the silver taels, including the thousand taels for meals.
, a total of seven thousand three hundred taels, indeed a wealthy businessman, bringing so much money with him when he goes out.
"Lord Sima, can you go see the Governor?" Song Wumian pressed his fingerprints and put away a copy. It has the seal of the Governor's Office on it and cannot be faked.
"Of course, Mr. Song, please come with me." Xu Yi happily asked his men to put the money into the treasury. This is a big list, and the governor should also see it. If there are people like Mr. Song often, he will raise another ten thousand
The army was also idle, but just thinking about it, there were only a handful of people from this generation in the south who were richer than the Song family.
Song Wumian straightened his clothes and followed Xu Yi alone. As for his men, they stayed here.
Along the way, there were shirtless men lying in the canals. It was a good place to escape the heat. Song Wumian was also very hot, but he couldn't do this because of his image.
"Song Gong, here we are, the governor is here." Xu Yi pointed at Sun Yu who was lying under the tree and said.
"This is the Governor?" Song Wumian looked at it and was a little unbelievable. He saw a deck chair placed in the ditch, Sun Yu was also lying shirtless, and there was a big tree above his head, which was very cool. But the dignified Governor
, is it so shameless? Even if you wear something cooler, you can't go shirtless.
"The governor doesn't like red tape, I'm used to it." Xu Yi chuckled. He felt a little inappropriate at first, but seeing the governor mingle with his subordinates is a good thing, as he is close to the people.
"Sir, this is Young Master Song from Quanzhou. I would like to meet and chat with you." Xu Yi walked a few steps in and said to Sun Yu, who was sleeping.
"Mr. Song? I don't know him. You can take care of it. I want to rest." Sun Yu heard that he was from Quanzhou, but he didn't know him. He had been busy all morning and finally couldn't be bothered to talk to him.
"Ahem, sir, Mr. Song just bought a house and a shop, and also paid a thousand taels to treat you to dinner." The governor of our family is good at everything, but he is too lazy about things other than military affairs.
some.
"What? I'm going to treat you to a distinguished guest." When Sun Yu heard this, I was obedient. This move was worth a few thousand taels, and I quickly got up and put on my clothes.
"People have already been brought." Xu Yi understood Sun Yu's reaction very well. Jianzhou was short of money. Someone came to give money, so his attitude was naturally different.
"This is Mr. Song? As expected, he has an extraordinary appearance and is a handsome man. I am rude. Sir, I am not telling you why such a distinguished guest is so negligent. Hurry up and bring a recliner." Sun Yu glanced at the other party.
, he is older than me, and his demeanor is quite good. He is indeed the son of a wealthy family.
"Get out of the way and make room for our distinguished guests." Xu Yi moved a deck chair, placed it directly in the ditch, and asked Mr. Song to lie down.
"Thank you, sir." Song Wumian was not pretentious. He lifted up his clothes, took off his shoes and socks, and lay directly on it. Not to mention, it was really comfortable. The coolness brought by the water flow made the whole body feel comfortable.
People feel comfortable instantly.
"Master Song is here, do you have something important to do?" Sun Yu grabbed a watermelon and handed it over. This thing is rare. It was picked up and sold by farmers nearby. Compared with later generations, this watermelon is not only smaller in size, but also much less sweet.
, but with enough water, it is a rare and good way to relieve the heat.
"I have nothing to do at home. I heard that Jianzhou has changed a lot, and I am thinking of doing some business. This trip is really not in vain. When I first entered Jianpu, I saw cement. I am very interested in it. I wonder if I can do it.
Sell some?" Song Wumian is very interested in this cement. There is a lot of rain in the south. If this product is available, it can greatly improve the living environment and it must be sold well.
"Although this item is good, the cost is extremely high, and the demand in Jianzhou is very high. Since Mr. Song is an honored guest, I can write a letter to Jianzhou Commercial Bank and let them take a closer look.
Maybe I gave you too much." Sun Yu is very knowledgeable about business. Don't say that the output is not enough, even if it is enough, you have to say it is not enough, so that you can sell it at a good price.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. I came from Quanzhou and heard some news along the way. It said that General Chen of the Qingyuan Army is very dissatisfied with your sir. I'm afraid he will send his troops northward in the near future." Now that the cement has been secured, Song Wumian
So I took advantage of the situation and brought up the business, which is considered a good deal for this side.
"Seriously? Is Chen Hongjin so bold? I'm afraid it's not his turn to have the final say in the Qingyuan Army." Sun Yu sat upright. Although the Western Fujian Gang was indeed supported by Chen Hongjin, this was the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty after all.
He really dared to attack with his troops.
"The King of Jinjiang has been ill in bed for a long time and has not been in charge of government for many days. General Chen is now the top general of the Qingyuan Army and is based in Zhangzhou, which is only ten days away from here." Song Wumian picked up the watermelon and bit it.
At a glance, the governor probably doesn't know the current situation of the Qingyuan Army.
"Is the King of Jinjiang so serious? How did you know?" Sun Yu was startled when he heard this. This young master of the Song Dynasty, a businessman, actually knew such a confidential matter. I'm afraid his identity is not simple.
"My sister-in-law is in the palace..." Song Wumian did not hide anything, and was about to tell her family background one by one. This was not a secret, and Sun Yu would know it if he inquired a little bit.
"That's how it is. Lieutenant Yang, hurry up and send someone to watch over there." As soon as Sun Yu heard Song Wumian's identity, he knew that what he said was true and had to prepare quickly. Although there are checkpoints over there.
Defend, but if Chen Hongjin really sends troops to attack, at most he will be able to block it slightly.
Stop it, let go of smoke or something.
"Don't worry, sir. I'll make the arrangements right now." Yang Qifeng hurriedly got out of the cool water canal and arranged for his men to go to Zhangzhou to find out the news. Today's Yang Qifeng's identity is not what it used to be. He is one of the five major captains under Sun Yu.
First, he has recently recruited a group of martial arts experts, so naturally it would be best for him to handle this matter.
"Mr. Song, why did you reveal this news to me?" The four major families are in the same boat. Why did the Song family sell out the Chen family in the blink of an eye?
"The Chen family is ready to make a move and want to dominate as one family. If we can dampen their spirit, we can live in harmony with each other." Song Wumian didn't think it was anything at all. If you, the Chen family, can be in the first grade of junior high school, don't blame me, the Song family, in the fifteenth grade.
"Okay! Mr. Song is very happy. I heard that the four major families have a lot of contacts with Nanyang. I have something to ask of you." Sun Yu has long been interested in the Champa rice in Nanyang. Now he basically only grows rice for one season, and
The sowing period is relatively late. Champa rice is sown and harvested relatively early. If Champa rice seeds are available and planted in a large area, two crops of rice can be harvested a year, and the entire grain output can be doubled.
"Sir, have you been to Nanyang?" Song Wumian was surprised. The governor was still young, but he actually knew about Nanyang. Champa rice is indeed a good thing. The Song family just got some back a few years ago, and he just started cooking it at his home this year.
A large area of land is planted in the farm.
"Not really, I just heard from my tutor that Champa rice has high yield and matures early, which is complementary to the rice here. I just thought, if the world could grow two crops of rice, there would be no need for war.
." If everyone can have enough to eat, then they will naturally live and work in peace and contentment. The people in this land are most law-abiding. No one will take risks unless they have to. But this is just a thought. There are always contradictions in society.
If there is a conflict, it will explode one day.
"Your Majesty is really well-informed. To be honest with you, I have brought back some rice from Champa City and planted it on a large area in Zhuangzi this year. If you want it, I can give it to you after the autumn harvest." Song Wumian said.
If people in this world are richer, this business will be easier to do. Besides, my family is still planning to win over Sun Yu, so naturally the stronger he is, the better.
"Seriously? Mr. Song has been a great help. Sir, please go down and set up a banquet. I want to treat Mr. Song to a drink!" Sun Yu was naturally happy when he heard that there was something ready-made.
"No need to bother Sir Sima, just prepare it for me! Sir, please wait a moment." After Song Wumian finished speaking, he got up from the recliner and walked towards his motorcade.
Sun Yu saw the carriages in the distance, two of which were following Song Wumian slowly heading this way. When they got here, Song Wumian clapped his hands.
I saw two cooks taking out the frozen delicacies from the mountains and seas to defrost them. They put two simple shelves together and placed a stove underneath. The charcoal inside was still stuffy inside, and they turned on the fan. One was used to cook the seafood, and the other was used to cook the seafood.
Barbecue. The other two attendants took down the folding tables and chairs from the carriage and unfolded them, covering them with snow-white tablecloths. Ice-cold wine was already poured into exquisite crystal glasses.
"Two adults, please take a seat." After the last big parasol was placed, Song Wumian made a gesture of invitation.
Chapter completed!
