Chapter 1064: The Compensation Is Not Small
The old man glared, "What's in there?"
Zhou Guo opened the box, took out several land deeds from it, and placed them in front of the old man. "This is what the Wang family compensated me. In Yunzhou, there is a grassland of more than 300 hectares, a land of more than 200 hectares, a land of more than 100 hectares, a land of more than 2,000 acres near the capital, and a tea garden of 3,000 acres in Yuhang. The two shops in Yunzhou are both in the best locations."
The old man stared at the deeds, flipped through them one by one, and sighed, "So many things, the Wang family is giving them too?"
Zhou Guo gulped down a cup of tea and said, "What can I do? Who told them to target me? I can't let them target me and bully me for nothing."
Looking at these deeds with some regret, he said: "In fact, I think these things are nothing to the Wang family, just a drop in the bucket.
Unfortunately, this is all I could negotiate for. I was thinking of asking him to give me a gold building, or at worst a silver building, but he refused and only gave me two shops. A silk shop and a tea shop. The shopkeepers and clerks will leave tomorrow, and our people will be able to take over tomorrow.
The old man said, "Okay, let's not talk about the tea garden, let's talk about the hundreds of hectares of land, let's not talk about Yunzhou, let's talk about the more than 2,000 acres of land near the capital, which is something you can't buy even if you have money. And with this grassland, with this grassland, you can raise all the cows, horses, and mules you want."
He sighed, "The Wang family has so many good things. They have everything. They even have gold and silver shops, silk shops, tea plantations... Whatever they do to make money, they will do it."
Zhou Guo nodded and said, "That's right. It's a big family because it has a strong foundation."
He sighed, "Our family's foundation is still too thin. We only have manure and mountain products, which can make us money all the time. As for other things, anyone can make them, and anyone can raise crabs."
Big families are different. Today she has really opened her eyes. They really have everything.
Thinking of something, he leaned in and asked the old man, "Master, do you think they have a gold mine or something?"
The old man was shocked. "No way. Mining gold without permission is a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the family. The Wang family is so careless. If they are discovered, the whole family will be finished."
Zhou Guo said, "But this is Yunzhou, a border town, and the emperor is far away. They are the largest family in Yunzhou, so it is not difficult for them to do these things without anyone noticing. Think about it, a gold mine, a gold mountain. With this gold mountain, the Wang family can always occupy the position of the largest family in Yunzhou, and they are not weak in other places. It is difficult for them to refuse such a huge benefit."
A mountain of gold is standing right in front of him, but it does not belong to him. It belongs to the imperial court, and he cannot get a single piece of it.
I think few people can withstand such temptation.
The old man shook his head and said, "Even if they have it, can you still rob them? You don't know where they are. If they really have it, and you push them into a corner, who knows what they might do. Even rabbits will bite when they are cornered."
Zhou Guo said: "I just said that, who knows?"
Looking at the deeds happily, he said, "But these things are enough. These plots of land are fertile land, which is incomparable to salty and bitter land. They are similar to Mr. Wu's land. I wanted to buy his thousands of acres at the beginning, but when I said this, he refused to do it as if the sky had fallen. Humph, now I have my own land, which is much bigger than his."
The old man said: "In this way, those people coming down from the border will have a place to use their skills. In addition to farming, these thousands of people who can't escort can also go to the grassland to raise cattle, donkeys and mules."
Zhou Guo said, "I have to write to Quanzi and ask him to buy more cattle in Nanhe. Huzi is also collecting cattle in Beidi. Niuzi, I want to set up a pasture."
It's a pity that the Wang family only gave her grass, not even a mule. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to spend so much effort looking for a calf everywhere.
The old man said, "I must go and see where this pasture is. It must be nice to ride a horse on it."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "We'll go together after we finish everything here. Now let Hu Zi and the others take over."
Hu Zi looked at the land deed in his hand and couldn't believe it. "Master, are these things really ours?"
Zhou Guo said, "Go and prepare, find someone to take over. It will take a few days for the Wang family to evacuate from here. Take your people to watch over it and don't let them cause any damage. I'll let Lai Zi Tou bring people to help you."
There are many people in the escort agency now, and most of them are Xu's army who came out from the border. With these people following them, they would have the courage to cause trouble even if they wanted to.
"As for these two shops, let Erpang take them. They were said to be silk and tea shops. These two shops are also profitable, not less than the dim sum shop. I think they should still be silk and tea shops."
"Okay, we have our own tea plantation, and I know where to get the silk and satin shop. Plus, we have our own escort agency, so it won't be difficult to open one."
He knew a little about silk and satin.
It was because what Zhou Guo wore was always very exquisite, and ordinary shops really didn't have such goods. After a long time, they also knew where to find such materials.
It was not difficult for them to open a silk and satin shop.
Zhou Guo said: "I know, when the escort agency becomes bigger, there will be more sources of goods."
As long as the world is stable, Xu's army will be able to dominate the world.
The next day, the owners of the two shops on the main street changed.
The Wang family emptied the two shops overnight, leaving no tables or chairs for Zhou Guo.
She didn't care. She looked at the wide shop and said, "It's not bad. They didn't have time to damage other things after moving the things. There's no need to clean up too much. Just buy some cabinets to put things in. And some lamps. The silk and satin lamps should be exquisite and hung on the walls."
In fact, the Wang family's previous layout was pretty good, so she didn't plan to make any big changes. She said to Er Pang, "Have you seen the Wang family's previous shop? The furnishings are quite reasonable. We are too lazy to bother to change it, so we can just follow theirs and add some small things."
Erpang nodded, "I understand."
Several people looked up and down.
This silk shop is quite large, and there is an inner room on the second floor, which is a place for women from wealthy families to drink tea and take a rest.
The old man turned around and said, "That's good. You don't have to buy fabrics from other places anymore. Just come to the shop and get whatever fabric you want. I don't know how much money you can save every year."
Our family has spent a lot of money on fabric every year over the years.
The Zhou family has no other interests. They are not interested in antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and they have no idea about a big house. They just cannot do without food and clothing.
