Chapter 463: Used to regulate the Yellow River and repair dikes
Moreover, they have their own system and supervise each other, for fear that these happy days will be disrupted by unexpected events.
Considering that these tenants paid a large amount of rent, Shen Ruyi gave each household two baskets of various fruits grown in her own garden as a gift to the new residents as a congratulations on their move.
I originally wanted to put the auction on hold for a while to cool it down, but those who didn’t win a bid quit, and some even wanted to sign up.
Finally, the few companies decided to stop renting the residential yards for the time being and start renting the shops, with a minimum rent of one year. Starting from the second year, the rent will be increased by 10% each year.
The residential house cannot be kept in good condition. Let's all calm down first. We are afraid that the leeks will be cut too hard. What if the roots are damaged?
A total of 240 shops were built.
There are four partners. Each of them chooses a three-story shop for their own use. They can choose whatever they want to sell.
The young prince was very single and directly chose the one next to Shen Ruyi, saying that he would do whatever Shen Ruyi did. He asked to open a shop together with her. He didn't have any other money-making projects, so he might as well follow Shen Ruyi.
The abbot of the Big Buddha Temple asked Shen Ruyi what he meant, "Little donor Shen, what do you think we should do?"
"Want to make money? If you want to make a little money, you can sell vegetarian snacks. The vegetarian snacks in your temple are so delicious. You can set the price high and supply them in limited quantities every day. If you want to make a lot of money, you can sell things that have been blessed in your temple. For example, you can buy a batch of good jade materials, put them in front of the Buddha to get some incense, and chant some sutras to them. Things that have been blessed will definitely sell very well, so you can raise the price as much as possible. Of course, this is just from a businessman's perspective. It depends on whether you want to do this?"
This is just concept hype, which is a bit misleading. Money is a double-edged sword, and we are afraid that too much money will disturb their Buddhist hearts, which is not good.
The abbot nodded in confusion and said, "I will think about it carefully."
"Don't feel burdened. There is nothing shameful in making money in an honest way. Where the money goes is more important than where it comes from. As long as the money is spent where it should be spent and where it is more needed, it's fine."
"Understood, little donor."
Shen Ruyi has made up her mind that she will just sell some agricultural products in her area. She will sell whatever is produced in the mansion, such as fruits, vegetables, and various kinds of meat.
The main point is to follow one's heart and go with the flow. No matter what she sells, the goods here are all high-quality, and others will not suffer a loss or be deceived when buying them.
There are many people participating in the auction of shops. In such a superior place, whoever bids will make a profit.
In the end, the number of people who signed up exceeded a thousand that day, and the profit alone was over one million taels of silver.
The Big Buddha Temple project is now the most profitable project in the entire Beijing, bar none.
Thirty shops were rented out at a time. In the first auction, each shop was basically rented out at a price ranging from 2 taels to 4 taels.
The prices are reasonable, not outrageously high. The prices of shops are still very reasonable, and the rent is basically determined by the size and location.
This is understandable. When renting a shop, you need to consider the output and the harvest. But living in a yard is different. You only need to consider whether it is comfortable to live in and whether the money you spend is comfortable.
We shot 7 scenes in a row before calling a halt. We kept the remaining shops for now, in case they come in handy later.
After finishing this, several families sat together to divide the silver. The amount was astonishing. The one who represented the government was the young prince, and each family received several million taels of silver. The amount received by Shen Ruyi was even more astonishing.
She was also worried about where to spend the money. According to the agreement, she was to take out 20% of the money to do charity in the name of the government.
After much thought, Shen Ruyi decided to use the money to control the Yellow River, build dams, and help change the river course.
So he said: "My Lord, I have already thought of where to get the money this time. I plan to use all the 50% of my income to control the Yellow River in the name of the government and build dams across the country.
I hope the government can find a reliable person to take charge of this matter. I have only one request: this money cannot be embezzled, withheld or used for personal gain. It must be used entirely for river management, and every expense and project must be clearly stated. I will check the accounts.
If anyone lays out their hands for this money, I will find someone to empty their house and turn them back into poor peasants overnight. You should believe that I have the ability to do this. I am a person who does not follow martial ethics when I am pushed into a corner. I can do anything. "
It only took two minutes for the young prince to go from respecting Shen Ruyi to being speechless. But it must be said that the emperor's favoritism is justified. Who else can be like her, so willing to give, so willing to give is a bit abnormal.
"Okay, no problem, don't worry, I'll pass on the message."
What the young prince didn't say is that if someone really reaches out, you can just get it back. Anyway, you also said that you have the ability to do so.
When the young prince finally brought Shen Ruyi's words to the emperor, the emperor was so moved that he almost lost his composure and didn't know how to describe the little black charcoal.
It seems that any language seems so pale and powerless in the face of what Xiao Heitan did.
If we count the entire Dali Dynasty, there are many families with more background and wealth than Xiao Heitan, but no one is as selfless as this child, selfless to the point of selflessness. Maybe this is the difference between Jixing and ordinary people.
As expected, they came with a mission, so all you have to do is cooperate and do it. The official used to think that when Xiao Heitan said that he, the official, would be remembered for generations, he thought that he was just flattering him.
Now I suddenly feel that maybe, just maybe, his reputation as an official will really be passed down through the ages.
So I immediately started thinking, who should take over this matter? What kind of team should be assigned to prevent others from embezzling money?
This is the biggest problem of the century. He needs to think about it carefully.
The 36 courtyards near the Big Buddha Temple were not auctioned, so they are available to those who want to live there. Worshiping Buddha is different from living there on a daily basis, so it is not appropriate to use the same standard to define them.
Besides, few people who come to worship Buddha would stay here for a whole year, so these courtyards are randomly allocated and you can stay as many days as you want.
There is no need to worry too much about the profits. After all, there is such a high bidding price in front. Normal people will not be able to afford it if they give less.
If there are really people who want to get something for free, Shen Ruyi wouldn't have to do anything, they would be scolded to death by the people who paid a lot of money, after all, they paid a lot of money to live in it. You actually want to get something for free, who else should I scold?
