Chapter 1217 Give Me the Title Deed of the Hundred Thousand Mu of Mulberry Fields
He nodded quickly, thought for a moment and said, "I now have 70,000 acres of land in Hangzhou. I can buy another 30,000 acres to make up 100,000 acres. How about buying 5,000 acres of tea mountain? But, do we really want to make this scented tea?"
"Let's do it." Qiao Xuan smiled. "Da Qin doesn't have the technology to make perfume right now. No matter what happens in the future, we'll be the only ones who can make the money now. By then, the workshops will be built near the flower fields, and the workers will be hired as contract servants. We'll make scented tea the same way. Don't worry, scented tea doesn't require many flowers."
"good!"
Zhao Shu felt relieved as he thought that everyone had thought of everything.
After the New Year, the biting chill in the air has obviously faded away, and the biting cold wind has become gentler. If you make arrangements early at this time, you will reap rewards this year.
A good start to the year begins in spring!
For three consecutive days, Zhao Shu and Uncle Qing and Aunt Qing visited Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan's home and discussed and settled the matter.
The purchase of the land was given to Zhao Shu, Qiao Xuan did not take any part in it. Qiao Xuan only took a share in the perfume workshop, and the profits were split 50-50. Qiao Xuan provided the technology and tools, and the workers each took half. Zhao Shu was mainly responsible for daily management.
The total cost of building the workshop was also split 50-50, but since Qiao Xuan provided the technology, the money she needed to take was naturally much less after factoring in the cost.
Zhao Shu originally wanted to say that she didn't need to take the 1 or 2 taels of silver, but Qiao Xuan refused.
The 100,000 mu of flower fields are planned to be planted with roses, roses, jasmine, osmanthus, lilies, and lilacs, as well as lemons, pine and cypress, sandalwood, camphor, calamus, patchouli, bergamot, orange, mint, orchid and other flowers for perfumery.
Jiangnan is a prosperous area, and there are many flower fields where gardeners specialize in growing flowers and trees to provide them to wealthy families. In addition, scented tea has become popular in the past three or four years, and more families are growing flowers.
Especially jasmine, rose, rose, gardenia, etc., and the osmanthus in Hangzhou is world-famous, and there are countless osmanthus trees.
Therefore, there is no problem in getting good quality and sufficient flower seedlings!
As for lilies, they are even easier to find. Many families grow lilies. You can just buy the stems and plant them when the weather is right.
The only thing that is a little difficult is to purchase large quantities of cloves, but it can be solved by spending a little more time and money.
Zhao Shu and Uncle Qing will take care of the flower field themselves.
The workshop is located nearby, and a villa similar to a holiday villa is built. Building a workshop in the villa can effectively achieve the effect of avoiding the eyes and ears of others.
It is best to have a tea plantation near a flower field to facilitate future management.
Qiao Xuan also asked Zhao Shu to sell the 100,000 acres of mulberry fields in Yangzhou to her.
Zhao Shu was stunned at first.
Qiao Xuan smiled and explained: "This mulberry field produces mulberry and silk, but you can't even get one tael of silver every year. Do you plan to continue like this? In a few years, you can buy it back from me. If you don't trust me, we can write it down in black and white."
Zhao Shu immediately understood what Qiao Xuan meant. His eyes welled up and he was so moved that he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to her.
"No, no, I trust the Fifth Madam. There's no need to talk about buying the mulberry field. I'll give you the deed to the land, and you can give me half of the money you get back! Oh, and I'll give you the IOUs from the past few years!"
Those IOUs were just pieces of waste paper in his hands. As a son, could he still ask his father for the debt? Did he still want to have a good reputation?
But it’s different in Qiao Xuan’s hands!
That is, "It is only natural to pay back your debts!"
