Chapter 653 Guarantee
Seeing this scene, the people below were talking about it.
The best location in the east of the city was sold out just like that, and it took less than a quarter of an hour. Therefore, those people who were still waiting and watching, if they had spare money, were also itching to buy it.
On the stage, after signing and stamping, the matter was settled. Unlike the Han and Du families who had prepared in advance, more people came to join in the fun today, so one of the wealthy merchants named Wang spoke up.
"We came in a hurry today and didn't bring enough silver bills. Should we ask the steward to go back with us to get it or send it to the mansion of the young master?"
"All right, do whatever is convenient for you."
As soon as these words came out, the merchants were also a little surprised. It seemed that this young master Yan didn't care about the money.
In the crowd, someone raised his hand silently.
The one who came out was just an old man dressed as an ordinary citizen. He was still a little trembling when he walked, so he asked.
"Sir, I want to buy a shop in Qingchun Street. Is it possible?"
"Of course, as long as the old gentleman pays the deposit in advance."
Yan Zhiqing will not break the rules just because the other party is an older person, otherwise everyone will have an excuse to threaten him, and the business will not be able to continue.
The old man walked to the stage unsteadily, and then the housekeeper took out the deed of the shop in Qingchun Street, and then helped him to look at the overall map, explaining while looking at it.
"We originally planned to include this location in Ru'an Street, but it was slightly off by ten feet, so it became a shop on Qingchun Street. The front of the location is spacious, and if you want to cook something, you can set it up outside. It should be the best shop with a courtyard on Qingchun Street. What do you think, old sir?"
"Okay, I have saved money all my life, and I still have some money for my coffin. I will buy it with gritted teeth. It can be regarded as leaving something for my two grandchildren."
After saying that, he signed and sealed the deed decisively, and then took out a close-fitting purse from his arms. There was no silver bill in it, but a key, and then handed it to the housekeeper Ren.
"This is the money I saved in Huitong Money House. This is the key. Please make a trip. Take out all the money in it. If there is not enough left, I will find a way!"
The key looked very smooth because it was often touched.
Butler Ren nodded and then put it in his arms.
The deed was rolled up and stuffed into the old man's arms, and the old man's surname was written on the full map. This courtyard was considered to have a master.
"Are there any other people who want to make a reservation in advance?"
Butler Ren asked the rest of the people. Those who are interested may not have money, and those who are rich want to wait and see, so after selling three more shops on Ru'an Street and four more shops in the outer expansion, no one spoke again.
Seeing that 70% to 80% of the shops and courtyards on the full map have not been sold, some people began to think that this Mr. Yan is just so-so.
They are not optimistic about whether the land in the east of the city can develop in the future.
Just when everyone thought that today's affairs were almost over, they suddenly saw several people dressed as stewards coming in a hurry from a distance. Judging from their clothes, they seemed to be from the homes of officials.
As expected, someone soon recognized that the leader was Steward Zhang in the prefectural governor's mansion, and behind him were the stewards of several other officials in Cezhou.
Why did they come?
Could it be that he came to support Mr. Yan?
So the people who were originally disloyal now became a little more curious, so they stood there and waited to watch the fun.
After arriving here, the housekeepers first saluted Mr. Yan, and then handed over a letter.
"My prefect said that the development of the land east of the city is related to the future of the entire Cezhou, so he is willing to participate in it. I hope Mr. Yan can complete the construction as soon as possible, so that Cezhou can become the mainstay of the Daxing Dynasty!"
Yan Zhiqing took the letter and looked at it. It contained several mortgage documents of Mr. Shao's family property, which were worth about 400,000 taels, which could be said to be all his wealth.
Seeing this, Yan Zhiqing also smiled and said with gratitude in his eyes.
"I understand the intention of the governor, and I will not let you down."
Butler Zhang nodded, indicating that he would pass on this message, and then chose the best location on Ru'an Street, and took over the deed on behalf of Governor Shao.
The other officials and butlers followed suit and also chose shops on Ru'an Street.
After they left, Yan Zhiqing glanced at the people below.
There were quite a few people who just watched the excitement, but there were also some people who were ready to move. So he took a look at the Ru'an Street shops and courtyards that had already lost 30%, and then spoke.
"I wonder if anyone among you still needs to make a deposit. If not, we will end it today. The remaining shops and courtyards will be open for sale and leasing after all the construction is completed in three years. However, the price will change accordingly. This kind of benefit will only happen once."
His words successfully made several of the people who were waiting and watching unable to help but make a deposit.
However, there are few people who settle in Ru'an Street. Most of them are either from Qingchun Street or from other places. When the sun sets, the excitement in the stands fades away.
The next half month in Cezhou City basically revolved around the land to the east of the city, Mr. Yan, and the matter of placing a deposit in advance. Everyone's eyes were fixed on that land, thinking We want to see if, in three years, this place can really become the bustling brocade of Cezhou as Yan Zhiqing said.
There was an uproar outside, but there was harmony inside the General's Mansion.
In the Spring Breeze Pavilion, the breeze is blowing.
All you can see is the garden full of spring scenery, coupled with peach blossom cakes and clear wine, people can't help but feel relaxed.
Du Jingyi and Gu Shaoyu were both sitting in the pavilion. Opposite them was another person, who had the aura of a bright moon and a clear breeze. Naturally, he was the "distinguished guest" who came from afar.
"You are tired of traveling and traveling, can Mr. Yan still adapt to it?"
"Thank you, Mrs. Gu, for your concern. Everything is fine with me."
After Yan Zhiqing arrived, he settled in the largest inn in Cezhou. He booked the entire third floor and paid three years' rent in one lump sum.
After hearing about such a generous move, outsiders felt that he was bound to win the land east of the city.
After raising his glass and taking a sip of clear wine, Yan Zhiqing asked.
