Chapter 128 Interest Binding
[In short, buy now while the house price is cheap. When the refugees pour in after a while, you won’t be able to buy even if you want to.]
Gan Tian’s words reminded everyone.
The house price in the royal capital will rise sharply. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble,
you should buy it as soon as possible. Gan Fanren looked at Hui Niang: "I don’t think we should choose. Both of these shops are good. Let’s buy both."
"Okay."
Hui Niang calculated and sold the jewelry that she moved out of the pond. With her existing savings, it would not be a problem to buy both shops.
Hearing that someone was finally willing to buy the shop, the shopkeeper was so excited that he almost cried.
Great!
The shop was finally sold!
After paying the deed tax and getting the house deed, it was getting dark. Gan Fanren wanted to take his wife to look at a few more shops, but was rejected by Hui Niang.
"The delivery time is approaching, I have to go back as soon as possible. My husband has also invited people from the Audit Department to a banquet, and I have to prepare the table."
When they returned to the house, Hong and others were already waiting in the yard.
Because Ni was sick, she only made ten cloth bags today, all of which were expensive.
Others earned four or five hundred coins, but Ni only got one hundred. If it were in the past, Ni would have made a fuss a long time ago, but for some reason, she was particularly quiet today.
Hui Niang looked at Ni several times, fearing that she was holding back, but nothing happened until Ni left.
[Something is wrong! 】
【There is something wrong with this Nishi. Even if she is sick, she will not be so quiet. I think she must have done something to let me down. Maybe she invited Luo Yanei here. 】
【What a pity. It would be great if there was Song Ci's bird. 】
Gan Tian missed the days when Song Ci was around. The bird was simply a weapon for eavesdropping.
After sending the women away, Hui Niang and her sister-in-law started preparing for the evening banquet. Both of them were good cooks, so they didn't invite anyone else to help in the kitchen.
Gan Fanren took Li Zhi to prepare the ingredients outside the kitchen.
Killing chickens, picking vegetables, peeling potatoes...
Gongsun Yue sat far away and watched the excitement on the pretext of fainting, while the two old ladies held Gan Tian and watched the little monkeys play.
Yu Laoda sat in the yard, preparing what he would tell the children the next day.
The small house was extremely lively. Gan Tian, who was an orphan in her previous life, liked the feeling of being with a big family very much.
She watched her brothers playing, with a soft and cute smile on her chubby face, and she would clap her hands when she was happy.
Hui Niang was not sure how many people would come from the Audit Department, so she made a large pot of each dish, which looked like pig food from a distance.
When people came, they divided the meals into individual portions according to the number of people and served them to people.
After choosing the dishes, Gan Fanren took Li Zhi to wipe the tables and chairs that were gathering dust in the storeroom without stopping.
Fortunately, the previous owner of the house was an official and would entertain guests here, so there were tables and chairs.
They just had to wait for people to come and put them up according to the number of people.
After it got dark, the people from the Audit Department finally arrived. There were four of them in total. Gan Fanren had seen two of them during the day, and two of them were strangers.
But those who could come to the banquet should all be influential, at least not ordinary runners.
Gan Fanren sat in the main seat and didn't say much. Gongsun Yue poured them wine with his eloquent words.
Without Luo Yanei, the people from the Audit Department seemed much more comfortable.
The leader smiled and said, "If ordinary businessmen encountered what happened today, they would probably be scared to death. Mr. Gan is really brave to remain calm in the face of danger."
Gongsun Yue poured a glass of wine and passed it over.
"My elder brother is just an ordinary businessman. He doesn't have the courage to do that. He just bet that you are a good official, so he dares to say a few more words."
"It is said that Luo Yanei relies on his father, the Minister of Justice, to run rampant in the royal capital. Officials of all levels are afraid of causing trouble and can only let him drive them around. But in my opinion, it is complete nonsense."
"The reason why you follow Luo Yanei, sir, is not because you are afraid of Luo Yanei?"
"It's just that we have to give him some respect because he is an official in the same dynasty as his father."
Gongsun Yue's words touched the hearts of the people in the Audit Department.
"He's just a piece of shit!"
"We follow him everywhere to give him some face. If it weren't for his father, I would break his legs!"
"I've been annoyed with him for a long time. Who does he think he is? He orders us around all the time. Sooner or later, I'm going to trample him under my feet!"
Everyone knew that Gan Fanren had a grudge against Luo Yanei, and they didn't avoid him.
They were officials, and Gan Fanren was a businessman. They firmly believed that even if Gan Fanren had a hundred and twenty guts, he wouldn't dare to run to Luo Yanei and talk nonsense.
When they had almost finished scolding him, Gan Fanren asked Li Zhi to take out the silver that he had prepared in advance.
"I have just arrived and just bought a new house. I don't have much money left. I can only use these gifts to honor you. I hope you don't mind."
Gan Fanren didn't know the identities of these people, so the gifts he prepared were all the same. The leader's gift was a pair of jade bracelets.
The jade bracelets were moist and transparent, of high quality, and you could tell at a glance that they were expensive.
The leader smiled and said, "Mr. Gan is so polite."
"It's just a small gift, but I hope you will accept it."
Gan Fanren tapped his fingers on the table.
"You have seen my account books during the day, and you know that we don't make much money. The cloth shop is the real money maker, and this is all I can give you."
"However, a few taels of silver cannot express my respect for you, so I decided to share the profits of the shop with you."
Others give gifts in silver during festivals, but this is the first time I have heard of someone giving profits.
The people from the Audit Department became interested.
Seeing them sit up straight, Gan Fanren knew that there was something interesting going on.
Anyone can give money. He gives 100 taels, and others can give 200 taels. These corrupt officials only care about money and not people. Whoever gives more is the boss.
But if these people are tied up with benefits, it will be different. They are no longer supervisors, but participants, one of the bosses, and they will pay special attention to the shop. If
you move the shop, you will move their cash cow.
Gan Fanren took out a few pieces of paper and asked Li Zhi to distribute them to everyone.
This paper is not a simple piece of paper, but a deed, which states that the money earned will be distributed to everyone.
"I have a small capital and little profit, so I can only divide the profit of the shop into 100 parts, and each adult can get five parts."
That is to say, if Gan Fanren earns 100 taels, they will get five taels?
This is too little!
"One hundred copies, but only five?"
One person threw the deed on the table in anger.
"You are sending away beggars!"
"Your Excellency misunderstood me, I haven't finished what I said."
Gan Fanren cleared his throat: "The profit of this sanitary napkin is limited. How much can you earn even if you give more?"
"These are just Gan's attitudes. The business I want to do is bigger than this."
Gan Fanren said, and gave Li Zhi a look.
Li Zhi immediately pushed out a bicycle.
"What I really want to sell is this."
"This bike, one hundred taels."
"For each bike sold, I will give five taels to each lord, and I will give the rest to other lords. This is not a small amount."
