Chapter 283 Go, Must Go
Ji Wuyin was leaving. If he didn't leave soon, his body would be drained away, ugh, his wallet would be emptied out.
So, go, you must go!
"You're really leaving Liaodong County now. I want to show you around. There are seventeen or eighteen counties in Liaodong County, and some of them have very unique scenery that you won't find in the south."
Ji Wuyin shook his head and waved his hands, "I won't watch it anymore." He definitely won't watch it anymore!
In the past two days, Lu Songli took him and his old friend to visit several places, all of which were under construction by Liaodong County.
When visiting the construction site of Houcheng's outer city, Lu Songli focused on introducing the buildings that will be located in the western suburbs of Houcheng. She also showed him the city map and sand table model. Each building on it was small and exquisite, and really attractive.
Then, without realizing it, he had taken a vacant lot.
The land was two mu in size, and Lu Songli charged him 20,000 taels.
Then, for the construction of the ground structure, they charged him another 30,000 taels, saying that the 30,000 taels included design fees, labor costs, and material costs.
She also said that the design style must be unified, and it cannot be built whatever he wants, but she will make sure he is satisfied, and if he is not satisfied, she will make changes until he is satisfied.
As for the building materials, if he didn't like the materials they used, he could provide them himself. Lu Songli prided himself on being very open-minded.
Anyway, the final result was that Lu Songli collected 50,000 taels from him just for this commercial building that had not yet been built.
This is really a waste of money. He only knows that in a better area in Chang'an, buying a house with four or five courtyards does not require so much money, and can basically be bought for 20,000 taels.
But who made him fall in love?
The second key place to visit is a four-courtyard house in the north city.
There, he met Lu Songli's younger brother Lu Mingzhi
Two kinds of paper, one yellow and one white, were drying on both sides of the yard.
That’s right, Lv Mingzhi has developed a type of paper. One type is jute paper, and the snow-white one is bamboo paper.
Lu Songli told Ji Wuyin that these yellow papers are actually called jute paper, which is different from the hemp paper today.
Jute paper is made from hemp paper and is soaked in the juice extracted from crushed Phellodendron chinense. Therefore, it is insect-proof. Moreover, the paper is tougher than hemp paper and has a longer service life than hemp paper.
She named the other white paper "Snow Light Paper". They have already mastered the papermaking methods of these two types of paper. The next step is to start mass production.
Upon hearing this, Ji Wuyin knew that something big was going to happen!
The emergence of these two types of paper and their entry into market circulation will have a great impact on the four major papermaking companies.
Lu Songli brought him here not to sell him paper, but to sell him books!
In short, he spent another 20,000 taels as a deposit for ordering books.
…
During the few days that Lu Songli was with his old friend, he spent money every day!
"You really won't stay for two more days?" Xue Xu's voice was full of regret.
"No, no, no. I'll take charge of the business in the south when I get back." Ji Wuyin was terrified. He refused to admit that he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, the money in his pocket would become less and less.
He came here and lost 20,000 dan of grain in cash, and signed an IOU for 80,000 dan of grain. This was because the silver he had paid out in the past few days was returned by Lu Songli to buy grain from him.
He got a batch of authentic medicinal materials from Liaodong County, three kinds of pills, a commercial building and a batch of books.
Who understands this feeling?
However, the herbs and pills he brought back were very good, and he should be able to make some money from the books he delivers later.
He must earn back the lost money!
He thought viciously that he could not defeat Lu Songli, he could not earn the money in Liaodong County, and even if he earned it, he could not take it away, so he accepted it.
Then he will go back to the South to earn money from those rich people!
He was no match for Lu Songli and was plucked out of his feathers, but could he still not be better than those unscrupulous businessmen in the South?
Southland Merchant: Are you polite?
On the day Ji Wuyin left, Lu Songli personally saw him off.
Now Ji Wuyin is a big golden hen to her.
Lu Songli smiled and handed out the gift she had prepared, "Mr. Ji, after you return to the South, please keep in touch and share what you have." Maintain a good cooperative relationship.
Ji Wuyin was speechless. "Don't worry, Madam Qin Liu. After I go back, I will have someone transport grain to the north." The 80,000 dan of grain had to be shipped in batches.
Lu Songli smiled and said, "It just so happens that the design will be ready in a few days, and your people will deliver the grain. You can take it away. Once Mr. Ji is satisfied, we can start construction." Once the money is in place, everything will be easy.
Ji Wuyin hummed in his heart. The old man always called him a stingy person who was obsessed with money. He thought Lu Songli was no worse than him.
"Let's go!" Ji Wuyin prepared to get on the car.
"Mr. Ji, have a safe trip. When you go back, you must be careful of Xie Zhan." Lu Songli reminded.
Ji Wuyin was in the South, and so was Xie Zhan. Lu Songli had to remind him that Xie Zhan wouldn't ignore his presence. No matter what Xie Zhan planned, he would definitely take him into consideration.
Ji Wuyin put down his hand and got on the carriage.
Lu Songli and Xue Xu watched his convoy go away.
After sending off the big golden hen, Lu Songli went back to work.
When Ji Wuyin left, the road to Houcheng had already been repaired.
The entire newly rebuilt official road was not only widened by twice, but also had a line drawn on both sides of the road, one on the left and one on the right, to designate an area for people to walk, and on both sides were drainage ditches.
The convoy he brought was running at full speed on the spacious official road.
Occasionally there were pedestrians, and there was no need to give way. Ji Wuyin realized the benefit of having the official road widened twice.
If Lu Songli knew about this, she would definitely say that this is just the beginning. She would ask someone to get cement and harden the road, and it would become wider and more convenient.
Ji Wuyin thought that if the south also built roads in this way, he would definitely be happy to donate money. After all, building such a spacious official road would be beneficial to his business.
But those damn officials in the South often asked him for alms when they were building roads, but look at what kind of crappy roads they built.
He once thought that if he was poor, he should take care of himself, and if he was rich, he should help the world. But he later found that after all his money went to help officials, he was not helping at all!
After spending a few days there, Ji Wuyin could deeply feel that the Lu family father and daughter had truly injected a vibrant vitality into Liaodong County. It gave people hope, which was why he was willing to spend so much money.
