Chapter 621 East of the City
"You don't need to make a penny of the profit. I just want you to make a copy of the drawing and take it away after the completion. If someone wants to build such a greenhouse in the future, I will take 20% of the profit and send it to the General's Mansion." Yes, for ten years, how about it?”
Zhang Yong is naturally smart if he can make his reputation bigger in Cezhou.
First, he offered no wages, so that everyone in the General's Mansion could relax their guard, and then he proposed to take away the replica drawings, knowing that the General's Mansion might not agree, so he then offered long-term benefits to make Du Jingyi a little tempted.
Although the intention is obvious, the person actually means it sincerely.
Of course, he knows that such a 20% profit may not be something that is valued in the eyes of the General's Mansion, but as long as he can have some connection with the General's Mansion, it will be beneficial to him in the future, so even if he gives up 30% Li, he is also happy to facilitate this!
Du Jingyi took a closer look at Zhang Yong and found that it was indeed good, so he immediately waved his hand and said.
"I will pay you for the work on Xikuoyuan. After it is completed, you can take away the drawings. I even have some other things related to repairing the house. You can take them with you, but I have other conditions." ”
"Ma'am, just say it's okay."
"I want you to pull together a team within one year, covering everything related to house construction, repairs, landscaping, even interior furnishings, placement, Feng Shui, and various objects. , that is to say, I want you to build a new house on the ground, with a front store and a backyard. You have to pay for it and you can live in it immediately. Do you understand what I mean?"
Du Jingyi's words were obviously a bit over the top.
Zhao Ping was stunned for a while, having no idea what the general's wife wanted such a team to do, but Zhang Yong wanted to be more knowledgeable, so he gradually understood.
Immediately afterwards, his expression was a little solemn, and he asked bluntly without shying away.
"There is a piece of land in the east of the city that has always been empty. It has been covered with weeds for so many years. But a few days ago, I heard that someone bought that land. So, is Madam the buyer?"
After hearing this, Du Jingyi knew that he had not chosen the wrong person, and he was indeed smart.
So he smiled and answered without any rebuttal.
"Cezhou has developed very well in recent years, but the city is a bit chaotic. The merchants have a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west and there is no place to put them. The land in the east of the city was bought by a friend of mine for the purpose We want to build Cezhou’s own commercial district. The east side of the city is flat and spacious. If it is built properly, I believe it will be no worse than any existing place in the city.”
Her words made everyone present feel excited and worried.
As excited as Zhang Yong is, he naturally knows how much space a place like this can give him. When the time comes, let alone Cezhou, Daxing Dynasty may be able to have the reputation of his Zhang family. This is a matter of honoring the ancestors!
Of course he had to agree.
At this moment, when I thought about the 20% profit I just proposed, I really felt that some Guan Gong was playing tricks on me, so I immediately promised it.
"This matter is of great importance. The little one must be stricter than an iron rooster, and he will not let outsiders know, so madam, don't worry, such a team will definitely not cause trouble to you, oh no, your friends!"
Zhang Yong's guarantee is of course sincere, but people's hearts are not so simple and can be easily believed, so Du Jingyi has many ways to restrain him.
But such actions made other people in the General's Mansion worry.
What they are worried about is not that their wife cannot handle this matter well, but that she is afraid that if she does it too well, it will give others a reason to say something. If the word that Cezhou is the General's Mansion leaks out, then they will be called a trouble!
But naturally he won't say much in front of outsiders.
After arranging everything, Butler He took the two of them to the accounting room to pay the money. Du Jingyi and Ying Tao were left in the room. Ying Tao did not shy away and asked directly.
"Aren't you worried, madam?"
"Are you afraid that Zhang Yong will go out and talk nonsense?"
"Well, after all, I have never dealt with him before. How credible can his words be? The most important thing is that I don't even know how well he works. Madam told him such a big thing. If he gave birth to something else, Thinking, will that cause trouble?”
Cherry's worries are not unreasonable, but these are all within Du Jingyi's control.
"Now that I have heard from him, he is naturally putting great effort into building Xikuoyuan. I am not short of his wages, but I just want to see what he can do when he is full of energy? If it is true that people are like their reputation, So it's not a big problem to let him do the land in the east of the city. As for the things you mentioned, I have mentioned it before. My friend bought the land, what does it have to do with me? What's the matter? Don't worry."
"I'm afraid, if the new emperor hears something..."
Du Jingyi laughed before Yingying finished what she said.
"Young Cherry has indeed reached the age of becoming an aunt. She has started to be cautious about everything. This is a good thing. But your wife, I am not just old and ignorant. Naturally, this little thing has been taken into account. Don't worry. Bar."
Du Jingyi said "Don't worry" one after another, so Tao Tao couldn't ask any more questions.
Anyway, my wife did not do anything wrong, so she stopped thinking about it. Compared to her worries, Butler He really did what he was told and had no doubts about Du Jingyi.
After seeing off Zhao Ping and Zhang Yong, they went to the yard where the stewards were and called Zhou Mi.
This housekeeper Zhou is still young, about 27 or 28 years old, but he is a family boy. His father helps in the stables, and his mother used to be a housewife who cleans the yard of Madam Gu. They are not considered powerful servants.
But he is smart and has been smart and capable since he was a child.
It is not surprising to have such a brain, but it is surprising that he is also very thorough and calm in doing things. He is as good as his name, Zhou Mi.
After seeing him, housekeeper He said calmly.
"Madam likes your method, so she asked you to go to the front hall to ask questions. Pack up and leave quickly."
It is a great thing that comes from the sky.
But Zhou Mi was still very calm except for a moment of surprise and surprise when he first heard the news. Housekeeper He also saw it in his eyes. After a flash of satisfaction, he quickly returned to calmness.
When the two came to the front hall, Du Jingyi's eyebrows were much more relaxed than before.
After all, they are all family members, so Du Jingyi speaks straightforwardly.
"It's a thorough method, right? I think it's quite cautious like Butler He. Now that the people who will repair the house have been decided, I'll leave it to you to coordinate this matter. If you don't understand anything, just go to Butler He and listen, ask and learn more, okay?"
