With Liu Jin's help, Xu Ning obtained the salt merchant qualification easily and without spending any money. Salt merchants originally cooperated with the government. Liu Jin, as the county magistrate, naturally had the right to decide to whom the salt merchant qualification would be given.
The two wine shops and the salt loft cost 38,000 guan according to the market price. Liu Jin gave Xu Ning a discount, only 9,000 guan.
The Zhou Mansion also sold it to Xu Ning at a discount for a total of 30,000 guan. There were tens of thousands of acres of fertile land around the mansion. Liu Jin told Xu Ning to buy 10,000 acres and then rent out the land to make money as well.
All in all, a total of forty-eight thousand strings are needed.
Xu Ning was a little dumbfounded, forty-eight thousand strings! All his money now adds up to just a fraction, and he can't help but sweat on his forehead.
However, Xu Ning also knew that this was the price after the discount given to him by his uncle. If it were to be based on market value, the total value of these properties would be at least 100,000 yuan.
"Uncle...uncle, I can't afford so much money for the time being."
Xu Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead, and Liu Jin said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, you can take out as much as you can, and then use the goods in your shop to deduct it. If it's not enough, you owe it first, and you will settle it within three months." Just clear it.”
"Thank you very much, uncle."
Xu Ning felt that the best thing he did in this different world was to flatter Liu Jin. Not only would he sell these things to himself at a discount, but he could also pay for them first.
It seems that I have to work hard to make money in another world. At this moment, I am in debt of more than 40,000 yuan, which is very stressful.
Come out of Liu Jin's study.
Xu Ning met the county captain Chen Ping, and originally thought that Chen Ping would not look good on him. After all, this man had a relationship with the Zhou family. According to Ma Min, Chen Ping received a lot of benefits from the Zhou family every year.
Now that the Zhou family is gone, there is a loss of income, but he did not expect that Chen Ping would take the initiative to say hello to him.
"Brother Xu, are you looking for Magistrate Liu?"
Xu Ning nodded.
Chen Ping had a smile on his face and said, "Is it about the Zhou family's property?"
"Yeah." Xu Ning responded. He didn't want to get in touch with Chen Ping. Chen Ping used his warrior aura to overwhelm him before, so Xu Ning didn't have a good impression of Chen Ping.
Chen Ping didn't care about Xu Ning's attitude and continued: "I was ordered to search the house. If Brother Xu is free, you can go with me to the Zhou family's treasure house."
Xu Ning gave Chen Ping a strange look. What did the other party mean by trying to get close to him? He still wanted to take him to the Zhou family and trap him and kill him.
Seeing Xu Ning's eyes, Chen Ping said: "Brother Xu, we had some misunderstandings before, but now that the Zhou family is gone, our misunderstanding has passed. There are many good things in the Zhou family's treasure house. Go and pick some." Even if it’s so valuable, no one will find it.”
Then he approached Xu Ning and whispered: "Master Liu has made great achievements this time. He should be transferred to Qingzhou as the governor soon. When the time comes, I will ask Brother Xu to help me put in a good word in front of Master Liu."
Xu Ning understood that Chen Ping really wanted to have a good relationship with him.
If Liu Jin is transferred to Qingzhou, the post of magistrate of Yongping County will be vacant. Generally, the county magistrate is promoted to the county magistrate, but the transferred magistrate has the right to recommend. As long as the official department approves, the recommended person may become the county magistrate. .
Chen Ping allowed himself to speak kindly in front of Liu Jin. It seems that he also desires a county magistrate, so he can rest assured that if he wants something from him, he will definitely not be harmed.
To be honest, Xu Ning was really afraid of being alone with Chen Ping. After all, the other party was a warrior. He just didn't know which realm he was in, but no matter which realm he was, beating himself up was not a problem.
There is no need to worry now. Of course, one cannot believe everything. What if the other party deliberately confuses him? At this moment, he saw Zhao Ming coming in. Xu Ning immediately said: "Zhao Dianshi, please tell Magistrate Liu that I Go to Zhou Mansion with Lieutenant Chen Ping to have a look."
"Okay."
Zhao Ming agreed. Now that he has become a classic, he no longer has to work as hard as before. He is also very grateful to Xu Ning. What Xu Ning asks him to do must be carried out meticulously.
…
Xu Ning and Chen Ping left the county government office. Xu Ning smiled and said: "County Lieutenant Chen, I have bought the Zhou family's salt shop and wine shop. I don't know where it is yet. Can you take me to see it."
"no problem."
Chen Ping agreed and took Xu Ning to the salt shop first.
The most prosperous place in Yongping County is the Zhou family's salt shop. It has been sealed off at this moment. Several government officials stood outside. When they saw Chen Ping coming, they hurriedly nodded and bowed.
Chen Ping nodded slightly and asked the yamen servant to open the door. He led Xu Ning in.
"So big!"
Xu Ning was a little surprised. This store was much bigger than his Xu Ji. It was at least as big as three Xu Jis. Chen Ping smiled and said, "This is just the front. There is a warehouse in the back. People can live on the second floor. Before the Zhou family I live upstairs to prevent anyone from stealing salt at night."
Xu Ning walked around the entire salt shop and was very satisfied. For such a big shop, Liu Jin only asked for more than 3,000 guan, which was equivalent to giving it to himself. This was a prosperous area, and such a large shop would cost more than 1,000 guan.
This is a big advantage for me.
As long as the land deed is transferred to you, this big shop will be yours. It is a pity that such a big shop is only used to buy salt. You can completely separate it to buy other things.
Uncle Cheap is really awesome.
The warehouse was filled with densely packed salt. Chen Ping smiled and said: "Three days ago, the Zhou family just brought the salt back. These salts are all yours. They are about 60,000 kilograms. According to the price of fifty cents per kilogram of salt, , if you sell them all, you can earn 3,000 guan. Of course, the government will collect half of the tax, which is 1,500 guan. In one year, this salt shop will have no problem making more than 10,000 guan."
More than 10,000 salts is not too much, but it is more stable, and this is a monopoly business. There is no competition. You only need to have people go to the salt production areas to buy salt and sell it back. There is no need to worry at all.
Xu Ning was very satisfied. Of course, the salt tax was too high, and he actually took half of it. However, this was stipulated by the court, and Xu Ning had nothing to do.
Later, Chen Ping took Xu Ning to see the wine shop. The two wine shops were not in the same place. They were three streets apart. They also occupied a huge area. Behind the wine shop was a brewing workshop. There were no workers in the workshop at this moment, and the two wine shops were also closed. status.
All these require Xu Ning to obtain the land deed before he can reopen. The wine shop also has wine in stock. If it opens, it will be enough to sell for a while.
Xu Ning was satisfied. These three shops could not be purchased without tens of thousands of guan, but he only had to pay 9,000 guan. This was a great advantage.
Then the two of them walked towards the Zhou Mansion outside the city.
Xu Ning said: "Chen County Lieutenant, you are a warrior, I don't know what level you are in."
Chen Ping was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Xu Ning to ask this suddenly. He smiled and said, "I'm not good at studying. I'm just in the fourth level of marrow cleansing."
Xu Ning was secretly frightened. He didn't know if he could be killed by a master of the Marrow Cleansing Realm with a gun.
