When he returned home in the evening, he thought about what happened during the day. After dinner, he discussed with his cheap dad Zheng Qi that his government office was about to start construction. Not to mention the foreseeable expansion of the population in the future, just the flow of ordinary people would be a big problem. Can bring this neighborhood up.
It is cheap to buy land at this time, and you will make a lot of money just selling land in the future. Then he persuaded his cheap dad.
Lao Zheng thought about it for a while and understood the truth. However, there were only a few shops in his house and he also ran a small business. He didn't have much money to spare. He could probably spare a few hundred pounds and buy a few. Ten acres.
Dozens of acres of wasteland cannot be seen now, but this account can be seen in the future. The risk is not big, and it can still be done. After discussing it, Lao Zheng decided to withdraw the money first, and go to the Yamen of Yingtianfu to buy it when he is ready in a few days. land.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Lao Zheng first bought the land and completed the land deed documents. The next day, the officials came to notify the government that the official seal was in place and you could go and get it.
After receiving the equipment, I went to the government office first and confirmed the office location. Zheng Xiong ran home again, took a day off, and went to work officially on the third day.
I woke up early on the third day, and construction on my site hadn't started yet. After all, it is a subordinate organization of Yingtian Mansion, and it works under the nose of this person, so daily ordering is indispensable.
After finishing the order, I returned to my office and fell asleep. Three poles high in the sun, I slowly wake up and turn around. There was nothing else to do all day, so I picked up paper and pen, wrote a recruitment notice, and posted it on the bulletin board at the entrance of the government office.
Then, I went to the Ministry of Industry, found the Ministry of Industry Division, and discussed the price. It turns out that these types of buildings are all built by the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Household Affairs gets the money.
However, Huimin Pharmacy is affiliated with the local state government and was established by itself. The old man from the Ministry of Household Affairs had no money to contribute.
At this time, you can only talk about it yourself.
The Ministry of Industry is still very busy. The country is full of waste and needs to be revitalized. Everywhere is busy and there is a shortage of people everywhere. After waiting for a long time, it was not my turn. It wasn't until the afternoon that I saw the principal.
The head of the Ministry of Works Department got straight to the point and didn't want to waste any time.
"How much is the budget to build Huimin Pharmacy and what are the requirements?"
"With a budget of 10,000 yuan, I don't know what the government can accomplish by building a warehouse."
"If you want to contract work and materials, the Yamen is not expensive. Five thousand guan is enough to complete the construction. The warehouse of the pharmacy needs to be more detailed, waterproof and moisture-proof. One room costs 500 guan, which is almost ten warehouses."
"What if I build more wards? Ordinary rooms will do."
Although some of the terms "four hundred thousand dollars per room" are strange and can be understood literally, the director of the Ministry of Industry still returned patiently.
"Would you like to encircle a wall? My place is a bit big, so it's best to enclose it."
"I won't give it away. According to your request, the office will prepare it for you. There are five warehouses and three wards. The rest can only be built for you by surrounding walls."
Hearing this, Zheng Xiong was also speechless.
It is always said that the wealth of the family is almost the same as that of today's millionaires. They can only build a few houses and the land is circled white. The other three hundred acres of land in the outer city cannot be used.
Once this money is used up, you will become a pauper. Thinking about buying other miscellaneous items will give you a headache.
I wanted to find a quiet place for myself, but I found a trap for myself.
There is no good way, just take it one step at a time, and you have to find the governor, otherwise it will go bankrupt after it is built, and there will be no Huimin Pharmacy.
He bit the bullet and said to the boss, "Fu Yin gave me 10,000 yuan. After the construction is completed, I don't have to think about all the miscellaneous medicinal materials and so on. Can I get a discount or installment payment?"
"The discount is no longer available. It's a fixed price. Of course, what does installment payment mean?"
"I owe you the debt first, and I will pay you back part of it every month, or I will give you a lump sum when there is money in the account."
"No" is an empty talk. It's a beautiful thought, and the person in charge is not ignorant. When I heard that, Huimin Pharmacy was a loser. If you still have money, you will never be rich in your life. Another thing is, within this system, there is really no way to default on your debt.
"There's nothing I can do about it. I can only find a way or reduce your expenses. It doesn't matter if you build less houses. I'm used to it. Everyone in the Ministry of Industry, old and young, has to live frugally and tighten their pants. The belt works, don’t think too much about it.”
"Yes, then I'll go back and think about it first. I won't bother you again tomorrow." After a salute, Zheng Xiong walked out of the household department with a severe headache. It is true that it is difficult for a rich man to be a man without money. Before it even started, we were on the verge of bankruptcy.
Returning to the government office, I asked to see the governor Zheng Yiyan. He briefly reported the budget of the Ministry of Works and also talked about the lack of money.
"I really don't have money. You have to think of something yourself. Don't worry about the medicinal materials. There are local mountain people who supply them. If there is more, it's okay to maintain basic needs. Didn't the Ministry of Industry say that if it doesn't work, just build fewer houses?" He asked for money. , Zheng Fu Yin almost got angry, some things were hard to say, the yamen should not be left out, the government's face was a problem, and the warehouses should not be left out either. Lao Zhu treated the people very well. He couldn't say it clearly, he could only mention it euphemistically. The Ministry of Industry was doing business.
Zheng Xiong still wanted to speak, but he kept pulling and pulling.
Zheng Fuyin waved his hand directly, indicating to retreat.
Zheng Xiong had no choice but to go out, return to the Yamen, and figure it out on his own.
He took a piece of rice paper and drew a sketch with a brush. It belongs to the Yamen Five Thousand Guan. There are not many people in the daily office. Zheng Xiong doesn't care about the image of the government. He can build less and refer to future generations.
There should be one office for the chief and deputy doctors, and fewer wards can be built. People don’t want to spend money. They have to deal with minor illnesses on their own. If they can’t bear it, they will come to the pharmacy to get some medicine. Emergency and terminal illnesses are rare, and they cannot be cured by themselves. , just build two warehouses, but the more warehouses the better, build a few more warehouses. The land cannot be enclosed anymore, so we should enclose as much as we can and then expand it later. The land deed has been settled a long time ago, and it is here with me, so nothing will happen to it.
Thinking of this, I drew a sketch and saw that it was getting late, so I went home first.
On a new day, Zheng Xiong came to the government office, took the sketch, and headed to the Ministry of Works. He passed by the bulletin board. There was no news about the recruitment of doctors. There was no rush. Let the news flow for a while. The establishment was still a bit tempting.
After a while, he came to the Ministry of Industry, found the supervisor, and showed him his sketch.
The chief looked at it for a while, and looked at the building of the Yamen a little more, but the other party didn't care, and he didn't see much. Thinking slightly
"Three yamen for two thousand guan, two wards for eight hundred guan, ten warehouses for five thousand guan, and the wall will be counted as one thousand guan for you. Now pay for it and the craftsmen will be free in two days, so I can give it to you. start work"
"Then sir, wait a moment. I will go back to the government office to get the money first. I will come over later."
I withdrew the money from the government office, because the government office had already prepared it and didn't wait any longer. The warehouse manager even dispatched a carriage and sent two people to escort him.
After signing the contract, it will be a leisurely day. I can just check on the construction progress occasionally.
