Since there is space, it is naturally the best to buy it for 0 yuan

My friend, your sincerity is really great. It's hard not to be moved.

And a good reputation after death? Who wouldn't want that? Isn't it what we spend our lives doing?

Hey!

The old man asked, as if compromising or accepting his fate, "What's your name, young friend? Which family are you from?"

"My Lord, my last name is Shen, and I am not from a wealthy family. I am from a small family.

But don't worry about this. My two tentative partners at the moment are the Big Buddha Temple and the young prince of Prince Ning's Mansion.

Therefore, the construction process, subsequent safety issues and ownership issues are not problems.

I think that in our Great Li Dynasty, there is no one who dares to attack these two families at the same time!"

The young are really promising. A small child has actually managed to influence two such powerful families to endorse him. It's incredible!

This is something that can be done!

"My friend, I will accept your request." After the old man had thought it through, he replied straightforwardly.

"Then let me thank you first, old sir!" Shen Ruyi stood up and bowed.

"Friend Shen, when do you plan to start?"

"Old man, how about the 16th day of the first lunar month? I'll send someone to pick you up then, and we'll go check out the terrain together.

Build according to the shape, see how to fit closer to the terrain and build more reasonably? "

"Okay. What big ideas do you have for the blueprint, Mr. Shen?"

"What we can think of now is to build shops on both sides of the road at the foot of the Big Buddha Temple for rent, and to create a prosperous commercial district."

"The remaining space, apart from building houses, is for gardens and water systems. We want to plant a large area of ​​flowers, so that you can see nothing but flowers.

As for houses, there are two types that I can think of at the moment. One is the pastoral style, mainly thatched houses.

Of course, it only looks like a thatched hut from the outside; the accessories and functions inside must be complete and comfortable.

The other is the high-end and elegant style that is common among wealthy families.”

"Yeah, okay."

"Old man, this is just my current idea. I don't know whether it is reasonable or not. You can put forward any good ideas or suggestions.

Don’t worry about the engineering costs. We can focus on the best design. We are not afraid of spending money. As long as it is worth it, it’s fine.”

"Okay, do you plan to rent out or sell the house you built?" asked the old man.

"At present, I plan to rent it out. I will follow this design first. Maybe later on, I will build a new project next to it and build some houses specifically for sale. But for now, I don't plan to sell it."

"Okay, I understand. Let's look at the terrain and the size of the area first, then we can plan."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, old man. Old man, there are some fruits in this basket, specially prepared for the old lady. You can try some of them."

Shen Ruyi lifted a corner of the cloth covering the fruit basket and said.

The old man took one look at the juicy fruit and said, "I'm sorry to have spent so much money on this, my friend. It's a rare thing! My friend, you paid too much."

"It's not much, old man. This is what you deserve. Now that it's settled, I won't bother you any more. I'll leave first."

Shen Ruyi stood up and said, there was still a lot of things to do.

After saying goodbye to the old man, Shen Ruyi went straight back to the third courtyard to finish another thing.

As for the old man, after the young friend left, he looked at the silver note carefully and didn't expect that it was actually 2000 taels.

This is too much. I thought 200 or 500 taels would be the maximum.

This is really generous. These two pots of flowers are worth several thousand taels of silver.

The price of orchids has always been high, and it is all driven up by these literati who are praising each other.

There are also fruits, none of which are cheap.

This gift is too expensive. How many years of my salary would it be worth?

Mr. Li was a little dazed. He had been an upright person all his life and had never accepted any benefits from others.

This was the first time in my life that I received a bribe, and it was so much.

I have mixed feelings. I didn't understand how it felt when others accepted favors before, but now I understand. It really is too easy and too fast to make money.

No wonder once they enter officialdom, almost everyone becomes corrupt and accepts bribes.

Once you start, it's hard to resist.

Fortunately, I have already stepped down. It does not involve any reputational damage, but it has also sounded a wake-up call for me.

Sons, don't be greedy. Once you start, it will be difficult to stop.

Have to keep a close eye on my sons and grandchildren.

Well, they give so much, I have to help them with the design and planning, and make sure that their money is worth spending.

The old man sat in the reception room for a very long time before he asked the servants to help carry the flowers and fruits into the inner courtyard.

As for the young prince, as soon as he left the restaurant, he went straight back to his house to look for his elder brother, and sent Xiao Ningzi ahead.

Who would have thought that Prime Minister Ji, who seemed to be fair and honest, and who seemed to have no desires and would not abuse his power, was actually hiding so deeply?

Although it has not been verified yet, Mo Chi always feels that what Xiao Heitan said must be true, and he would not say this for no reason.

The young prince returned to the mansion and waited for about half an hour before Xiao Ningzi and the young prince came back.

After the young prince and his servants went down, they directly told Xiao Heitan what he had reminded them of.

After hearing this, the young prince became completely serious. "You have only heard about this matter, forget it all. Go and do what you need to do. I will take care of the rest. Don't let the news leak out."

"Okay, big brother."

The young prince didn't stay for long and went straight into the palace.

We should inform the emperor about this matter. This is a state affair and also involves the emperor's family affairs. Let's see what the emperor says.

Whether it is true or not, the government has to send people to investigate. It is not appropriate for me to get involved too deeply, so as not to arouse suspicion.

If this is true, this little black charcoal has made another contribution.

I had just finished the previous work, and now a new job came up. I don't know what to say.

This boy, ah, no, this girl, is quite lucky.

Take a look, and you will find a new problem without realizing it, and it is a big problem.

He himself was not sure about the emperor's feelings towards Concubine Ji, but no matter what, it was not realistic to bring down Prime Minister Ji with just one or two moves.

Prime Minister Ji is not that old fellow Yang Huizhang. On the contrary, Prime Minister Ji has a very good reputation and is also a mentor to many students.

It's difficult to deal with a single move that affects the entire body.

But since I was lucky enough to know it in advance, I can take precautions against any of his future plans.

What is scary is when one does things unintentionally.

Concubine Ji has a prince.

Is it better for your man to be the emperor? Or is it better for your son to be the emperor?

There is no need to make a choice. Everyone knows that it is better for the son to be the emperor.
