After hearing this, Si Jinxing was immediately overjoyed!
The court has sealed off so many shops, won't they have to be sold eventually? Might as well let her pick up a bargain now!
If we wait until Xuzhou recovers from this period, the price will definitely be very high!
After lunch, she took Pei Qingzhu and the other two to the prefectural government office.
She strode into the lobby and heard He Wenqin say:
"With these pieces of evidence, we can immediately escort Jia Wensheng to Jianzhou!
He can write a notice today about these shops and see how many he can sell, so as to raise more money for the people!"
Tongshan County Magistrate Li Kunzheng said with a worried look on his face:
“Though these shops are good, they are difficult to sell.
Firstly, we acted first and reported to the emperor later. Although the memorial had been sent out, it did not get the emperor's approval after all.
Secondly, with Xuzhou in such a state right now, who would be willing to spend so much money on something that might not make any money?
Si Jinxing glanced at the thick stack of account books on the table and said loudly:
"What are you two talking about in the shop?"
When the three people in the hall heard this, they all looked up and saw the Princess of Anping standing outside the hall.
Qi Nancheng, who had been sitting in a chair on the side, was delighted when he heard this.
This girl came to the yamen directly after lunch, right?
She is an anxious person!
He Wensheng saw someone standing outside the door and said with a smile, "The county lady is here!"
Tongshan County Magistrate Li Kunzheng hurriedly bowed and said:
"In reply to the County Master, I am currently discussing with Lord He how to sell those shops that Jia Wensheng has sealed off."
Si Jinxing glanced at Qi Nancheng and saw that he was looking at her with a smile on his face, so she quickly turned her gaze to He Wenqin and said:
"I wonder if you have sorted out the prices? If they are suitable, I would like to buy a few of them."
As soon as she said this, He Wenqin stood up excitedly and said:
"Are you serious, County Master?"
After he finished speaking, he said a little awkwardly:
“It’s just…it’s just that these shops haven’t received the Emperor’s personal seal yet.
The formalities may take three days to complete, but you have to pay a deposit first..."
Si Jinxing waved his hand indifferently and said:
"Master He is doing things, so why should I worry about it? The deposit must be paid."
Li Kunzheng's expression froze when he heard this, and he bowed to Si Jinxing and said:
"Thank you, County Lady, for your generosity and kindness. The people of Tongshan County will have a safe winter. There is hope!"
He Wenqin opened his mouth and advised:
"Have you thought it through, County Lady? You'll rarely be able to come to Xuzhou in the future. Do you really want to spend a lot of money to buy some shops?"
Si Jinxing knew that Lord He's words were well-intentioned.
She smiled and said:
"Uncle He, I am also someone who can't sit still.
When I heard you talk about this just now, I immediately thought of my Yaxu Lao.
If we can open a shop in Xuzhou, we won’t have to worry about having no place to stay when we come here in the future, right?”
When He Wenqin heard this, he realized that the Princess of Anping County was not just a genius doctor with superb medical skills!
He opened a shop in Jianzhou City at such a young age!
I heard from my own Zhaoyue that the county lady’s shop on Longxing Street is doing very prosperous business. It is no exaggeration to say that she makes a fortune every day!
What's more, they also have a Jirentang, where the medicines are all concentrated and do not need to be boiled, so they are very convenient to use. Although the price is a bit higher, it is deeply loved by the rich and powerful!
Just with these two shops, this girl has endless money to spend!
Who would have thought that this girl actually wanted to come to Xuzhou to expand the territory!
What a remarkable woman!
Thinking of this, he stopped trying to persuade her, but just smiled heartily and said:
"Since you've made up your mind, then it's up to you!
Come and take a look at these shops. The prices are definitely much lower than normal. Just choose with confidence!"
As he spoke, he placed a stack of land deeds on the table and let Si Jinxing choose.
Si Jinxing smiled and said, "I'm not good at choosing a shop.
A few people around me are outside, can you let them come in and help choose?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Nancheng's smile deepened. This girl came well prepared and even brought the shopkeeper with her!
He said, "Of course, let them in."
Pei Qingzhu, Zhao Yu and Yan Fei stepped into the lobby one after another, knelt down and bowed to the people in the hall, and then carefully checked the locations of the shops.
Pei Qingzhu even brought several topographic maps of Xuzhou City and various county towns.
He Wenqin was a censor, and his family did not own many shops, but only bought a lot of land.
He had never seen such a scene before, and he secretly thought that the Princess of Anping was indeed careful and cautious in her work!
Jia Wensheng had 130 shops. Pei Qingzhu and the other two discussed for half an hour and finally selected 75 shops.
Among them, thirty are in Xuzhou City, twenty-five are distributed in various county towns of Xuzhou Prefecture, and even the neighboring Huibei City, Suzhou Prefecture and Hengzhou Prefecture have each selected six, and there are two in Jianzhou!
These seventy-five shops, without exception, are all in excellent locations and occupy a large area!
Si Jinxing casually glanced at the deeds selected by Pei Qingzhu and said:
"Master He, I have selected seventy-five shops. Would you mind setting the price?
I can also go back and prepare the deposit and send it over."
Seventy-five?
When He Wenqin heard these four words, he was a little dazed and thought he had heard it wrong.
He turned his head to look at Li Kunzheng, and seeing that he also had a stunned expression, he knew that he must have heard it correctly!
Wow, this girl is really rich!
Seventy-five rooms were selected at once!
He Wenqin swallowed his saliva and said, "Oh my God, does this kid know how much money this is?"
In the end, Si Jinxing bought more than half of Jia Wensheng's shop at a low price of 400,000 taels!
Si Jinxing paid 50,000 taels of silver as a deposit on the spot, and after three to five days, he could officially process the land deed documents.
After receiving the money, He Wenqin immediately went to Yunyang County, the nearest county.
After exchanging the fifty thousand taels of silver for silver, he began to arrange housing for the disaster victims in Tongshan County!
At the same time, he ordered people to dig out 100,000 taels of silver ingots from the house mentioned by Jia Wensheng, and gave them to the people who had deposited silver in Jia Wensheng's bank!
The next day, Si Jinxing casually visited several shops in Xuzhou City, such as Baicaolou, which had previously sold Chinese rhubarb as ginseng!
He went to the northern suburbs to check the wound on Sun Qing's wife's body and prepared to leave for Tongshan County tomorrow!
But the next morning, when Si Jinxing was about to have breakfast, Mo Qiu walked in with a sullen face and said:
"Princess, Lord He sent someone to tell me that Jia Wensheng is in prison and has been seriously injured!"
