Chen Ze has reached a consensus with Doctor He.
Now you can study boldly with confidence. If you have any difficulties, just come to the hotel directly to find someone from the palace to solve it.
After generations of research and continuous technological innovation, the He family has found a way to preserve alcohol for a long time, making it less volatile while ensuring its sterility.
This time is only half a year.
Of course, this is enough for Chen Ze, not to mention that technology can continue to innovate.
Now we are waiting for the news from the winery. Then we will take Dr. He with us to see if the spirits purified by the winery can be used.
I feel that if Dr. He studies this field carefully, he might be able to produce penicillin in his lifetime.
It’s just that Chen Ze is currently unable to provide funding and researcher support.
There is no need to rush.
After leaving Qinshantang, Chen Ze took Li Yuankang to look for a house.
Lu Qingyun and Lin Yuanchao are still looking for talents in government affairs.
Most of them were people with lofty ideals that Lu Qingyun and Lin Yuanchao came into contact with when they were officials, and their abilities were relatively outstanding.
However, most of these people are older, and most of them live in the countryside, where their lives are relatively difficult.
The reason is simple. They cannot integrate into the existing system and suffer from exclusion and persecution.
Those who are willing to bow their heads are already complicit. Those who are unwilling to bow their heads will either go to jail or go home to farm.
Most of the life is quite difficult, and those like Lu Qingyun who can still open a school are actually doing well.
Mainly because no one from the four major families in Qingzhou dared to touch Lu Qingyun.
At that time, Chen Ze still thought it was amazing how capable Lu Qingyun was. He even humiliated Uncle Liu Sanshu and was still alive and well without even giving him the respect of the palace.
I only learned from Zhao Ziyun two days ago that Lu Qingyun might be a member of the Lu family in Zhongzhou.
The power of the Lu family in Zhongzhou is equivalent to half of the Huo family.
The reason why he is not sure is because Lu Qingyun has never said that he is related to the Lu family of Zhongzhou.
But Lu Qingyun's father, Lu Hedao, was originally from Zhongzhou. Unfortunately, the Lu family in Zhongzhou also had a runaway second master named Lu Hedao.
There can't be such a coincidence, right?
No one knows whether it is related or not, so all parties naturally dare not act rashly.
Lu Qingyun is fine, but those knowledgeable people who are close to him are naturally in a worse situation.
When Lu Qingyun was in charge of Qingzhou, no one would dare to touch them, but when Lu Qingyun stepped down, everyone pushed down the wall.
Not to mention other people, Counselor Zhu and Captain Yang, who were single-handedly promoted by Lu Qingyun, are now living a day without a meal. Lu Qingyun only helps them out every now and then to make their lives go smoothly.
These people were not living a good life to begin with. Chen Ze thought that since he had invited them here, he must let them live a good life, free them from worries, and allow them to do things for the people wholeheartedly.
Chen Ze had to take care of it himself.
This is a matter of attitude!
Taking Li Yuankang to find a house first, Chen Ze thought it would be best to get as close as possible to the Qingzhou Yamen.
Of course there are real estate agents these days, and they are usually called Yaren.
The person recommended by Qin Boyang is named Zhang. He has good connections, the price is relatively fair, and he has a lot of houses.
After finding this man named Zhang, Chen Ze made a request, and he happened to have several big houses in his possession.
The process is actually similar to modern times. You can view the house on site. If you are satisfied, you can negotiate the price. Once the price is agreed upon, you can sign a contract and the dentist will take a portion of it as commission.
Chen Ze and Li Yuankang looked at several large houses, and the prices were almost the same. The annual rent started at one hundred taels. If they wanted to buy one, the starting price for each house would be five thousand taels.
Basically, these houses can accommodate nearly a hundred people living together, and are divided into three courtyards: front, middle and back.
They are basically empty houses and overgrown with weeds.
Most of the owners of these houses are wealthy locals in Qingzhou who have moved to other places. For example, when their family members become high-ranking officials or do business, they move their families directly, etc. If the houses cannot be sold for a while, they are temporarily handed over to Yaren for disposal.
After shopping around, I chose the largest house.
"Should we discuss the price?"
Zhang Yaren said hurriedly: "Mr. Chen, you were introduced by Qin Dong's family. The price I'm offering you is the most reasonable price. I can't even make a few bucks, so I really can't lower it."
Chen Ze waved his hand: "I didn't ask you to lower the price either."
"Ah? What are we discussing?"
"That's one hundred and forty-seven taels in total?"
"yes."
"I will give you one hundred and fifty taels, and we will treat it as friends." Chen Ze said with a smile: "You have to work hard to make the contract. Friendship is friendship, I can't let you suffer, can I?"
Zhang Yaren was startled for a moment, then came back to his senses, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Young Master Chen is very generous. It is my honor to have a friend like you."
Li Yuankang quickly took the banknote, and the man with Zhang Ya went to work immediately.
It’s just that Li Yuankang couldn’t figure it out.
"Master, I've already told you the price, why do you pay more?"
"That two taels of silver is quite a lot!"
Chen Ze waved his hand: "We don't need the two taels of silver, and we can make a friend with two taels of silver. Isn't it a loss?"
"What if someone takes you for granted?"
"Then it won't be a loss if you spend two taels of silver to buy a lesson."
"..."
Li Yuankang couldn't help scratching his head and whispered: "Master, are these houses intended for those people invited by Master Lu?"
Chen Ze snorted: "If you don't greet people well, who will be willing to do things for you? If I didn't have money now, otherwise I would buy these houses I just saw and let them live in them first. Who would If he performs well, I will give him a house directly!"
Li Yuankang's eyes widened: "Send it away? Send it directly!? For such a big house, just give it away?"
"I can give it away if I want."
Li Yuankang felt excited and said hurriedly: "Master, actually I can also go to Qingzhou Yamen to be a head catcher or something..."
Chen Ze smiled half-heartedly: "What? I don't want the position of Head Guard of the Royal Palace anymore?"
"The main thing is that I also want to do something practical for the people."
"Yes, I finally feel a little shameless."
"The young master taught me well."
Chen Ze reached out and patted Li Yuankang on the shoulder: "Don't worry, as long as you do your job well, Master, I will make clear arrangements for you. You don't need to talk about it when you are alive. Even after you die, Master, I will make sure to pay you every year." When you visit the grave, all the paper money you burn must be gold-gilded!"
"..."
