When Lord Gao saw that Princess Fu'an agreed, he immediately led Zhou Qiongyue inside.
Zhou Qiongyue came here the last time before she got married, when she followed her second and fifth cousins and Yuan Bohua to buy fertile land. At that time, she was so poor that she had to count every penny carefully.
Unexpectedly, when she came here again, she still had to live a frugal life.
When Mr. Gao and Zhou Qiongyue arrived at the place where they were choosing the land deeds, someone immediately brought a chair and Gu Ju helped Zhou Qiongyue sit down.
Zhou Qiongyue once again witnessed the speed and service of Jingzhao Mansion. In a short while, a thick stack of land deeds and other things were placed in front of Zhou Qiongyue. Several plates of different dim sum were also placed.
Zhou Qiongyue didn't even try to hide her surprise. "Is there such a large tea plantation for sale now?"
Mr. Gao smiled and stroked the few hairs on his chin. He said calmly, "Due to the drought in the past two years, most tea plantations in Yuan'an are losing money. A lot of tea trees died, so many people just sold them and turned to other businesses.
"And the Emperor recently confiscated a group of officials who had committed crimes. We now have tea gardens in other places in Jingzhao Prefecture. Princess, you can take a look at them all, you don't have to limit yourself to Yuan'an!"
Zhou Qiongyue smiled and nodded, then reached out and picked up the deeds one by one and took a quick look at them. Finally, she selected four deeds that she liked the most.
One was from Yuan'an, two were from outside Yuan'an, but also very close to Yuan'an. There was also one from Quanzhou, and she pulled it out when she saw it.
Zhou Qiongyue chose it because she saw that the tea garden was indeed quite large and the price was very cheap.
Zhou Qiongyue pointed to the four land deeds laid out in front of her and said gently, "Master Gao, could you please tell me the details of these four?"
"It's my duty, it's my duty!" Mr. Gao bowed to Zhou Qiongyue, then looked at the four land deeds on the table.
When Lord Gao saw which ones they were, he smiled widely. These pictures were quite large, and if they could sell two more, the Jingzhao Prefecture would earn a lot of money.
If it were someone else, Lord Gao would definitely trick people into buying all these places, but since this was Princess Fu'an, he really didn't dare to do that.
In addition to his strong backing, this guy is also very courageous. He even dared to beat the Third Prince. He is someone he cannot afford to offend.
Mr. Gao introduced honestly: "Among these four photos, in Yuan'an's tea garden, almost one-third of the tea trees are dead, and another one-third are half-dead.
If you want to make money from this tea garden, you have to replant at least half of the tea trees. And the new tea trees are young and can't be harvested so quickly, so this is a long-term investment."
After Mr. Gao finished introducing the tea plantation in Chang'an, he pointed to one of the two that were closer to Yuan'an and said, "This one is similar to the one just now."
Then he pointed to another one and introduced: "This one is not bad. The tea garden is well preserved and there are many old tea trees.
It was only because the owner of this house had only one daughter and no son to inherit. Not wanting to let the family get away with it, the owner wanted to sell the tea garden and also offer tea-frying skills.
But the master said that he would not be responsible for the subsequent events, as it was possible that some of the tribesmen would come to cause trouble.
But if you buy it, Princess Fu'an, this hidden danger will not exist."
Zhou Qiongyue nodded after listening to it, "What about this one in Quanzhou?"
“This was copied from the home of the former Quanzhou prefect. It says that the tea garden is well maintained, but Quanzhou is too far from Yuan’an, so the buyer can only go and see for himself if there is more.
However, this tea garden is rated as a top-grade tea garden, but we, the Jingzhao prefect, sell it at the price of a medium-grade tea garden.
This is to compensate for the uncertainty of the news.”
Zhou Qiongyue felt that Mr. Gao would not dare to cheat her, so she didn't hesitate and said, "Then let's take these two!"
Zhou Qiongyue took the deed to the tea garden that was closer to Yuan'an and would cause trouble, and the deed to the one in Quanzhou and handed them to Guju, who then respectfully presented them to Lord Gao.
Mr. Gao looked at the two deeds in his hand, and his smile became even brighter. Princess Fu'an was really rich, and she bought two tea gardens of this size at once.
Mr. Gao continued his sales pitch, "Princess, you've already bought the tea garden. Do you need to buy a few shops on Yuan'an Main Street?"
Zhou Qiongyue pondered for a moment and decided that if there was a return, she could still buy one. She still had to earn the money of the nobles of Yuan'an. When the time came, she would have Yu Hai sell the poor quality tea to people in other countries, and she would open a teahouse in Yuan'an to sell the good tea.
Zhou Qiongyue decided to buy it, so she looked at Mr. Gao and asked, "Are there any good shops selling it on the main street right now?"
"Yes, yes." Mr. Gao immediately gestured to the person next to him, indicating that he should quickly bring up the land deed for the princess to choose.
Zhou Qiongyue chose another one from the dozen or so photos. It was a two-story building of considerable size, also with a backyard. It was just a little quieter.
Zhou Qiongyue guessed that it must have been a restaurant in the past, so it was just right for her to open a teahouse. The second floor could be used as a private room for drinking tea and chatting, and half of the first floor lobby could be used to sell tea. Then she could find a good storyteller, and there would be no shortage of customers.
The other half of the first floor is filled with tea gift boxes for sale. If you like the tea, you can buy some to take home and drink it yourself, or give it as a gift to others.
By then, the second floor will be quiet, and the first floor will be bustling with activity. There will be no worries about this business failing to thrive.
Mr. Gao happily took the title deed and ordered someone to transfer the ownership without Zhou Qiongyue even mentioning the price.
She mainly felt that since Mr. Gao had accompanied her for such a long time to choose, she should at least leave him some room to maneuver.
These people in Jingzhao Prefecture were quite efficient. Before long, the freshly issued land deeds were in Zhou Qiongyue's hands.
Zhou Qiongyue handed the deed to Guju to keep carefully, and said politely to Lord Gao, "Then I will trouble you today, Lord Gao. I will leave now."
"It is my humble honor to see you off!" Lord Gao really wanted to say that the princess was welcome to come every day, but he restrained himself.
Originally, Zhou Qiongyue thought that the prince would come back after she returned home.
As a result, after she returned home, Yuan Bohua did not return home. Zhou Qiongyue did not care about this matter. After all, it was normal for men to have affairs outside.
Zhou Qiongyue went straight back to the backyard to wash and change clothes, then played with her two sons for a while and took a nap next to them.
She went to the front yard again. In the afternoon, the people from the dental shop were going to send someone for her to choose.
Zhou Qiongyue planned to buy in all the people in the new teahouse she was going to open. After all, she didn't have the time to recruit them one by one like she did in her previous life.
The only good thing about this era is that if you need someone, you can go to a pawnbroker to buy them, and the possibility of such people betraying you is relatively much smaller.
