Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 815 is settled
Great! Absolutely fantastic!
If you only rent a shop, you can earn a few hundred coins a month, but if you want to buy land now, it will cost at least several dozen taels.

Buying land and building houses both cost money. Where did the Du family's money go? Naturally, it went into the hands of the people of Beishan County, with the lion's share ending up in the Beishan County government office.

It must be said that buying land is the most advantageous business for the government.

You don't have to do anything, just designate a piece of land, and you'll get paid.

Although there's nothing in the south yet, Meng Changqing has already made plans for that area. Since Du Lan and the others want to buy land, Meng Changqing went directly to her study to get the South Street map she had just drawn in her spare time, and let them choose a location.

In the end, the Duran family bought a plot of land for shops for one hundred taels of silver.

This pharmacy is built on the street planned by Meng Changqing. Although there are no other shops yet, there will be some in the future. The style of the pharmacy built first cannot be too different from the other houses on South Street.

Therefore, the general direction of how these shops should be built depends on the county government's decision.

Therefore, not only did he buy the land, but Du Lan also entrusted the construction of the house to the county government.

From some perspectives, this family also spent an extra 160 taels on a mule.

This amount of money wasn't actually a lot for Durant and his teammates.

Those of them in this business, if they come across good medicinal herbs and happen to deliver them to the right place, can make more than a hundred taels of silver from a single ginseng root.

If it were placed elsewhere, even with 160 taels, it wouldn't be enough to buy land and build a house. Thinking of this, Feng Zi'an left the county office, clutching the land deed in his arms with a broad smile.

“It’s not as dangerous as you make it out to be.” He added, “Look at them, they’re offering really good prices.”

Du Lan was too lazy to pay him any attention, but seeing his carefree smile, she couldn't help but say, "At such a reasonable price, who would come to Beishan County to buy land?" "Yes," Du Song said, looking troubled. "Let alone others, we won't be able to explain this to our father when we get home. He probably won't blame you, he'll only blame me, blame me for having enough silver notes on me so you could spend them recklessly."

Duran said, "I'll explain to Dad."

Inside the Beishan County government office, Qi Renli looked at several silver notes again and again, holding them up and down.

“Sir, this is truly a brilliant idea,” Qi Renli said. “If we bring in more people and sell all the land you’ve designated on South Street, we can earn several thousand taels of silver. Sir, you really have a knack for making money.”

Meng Changqing doesn't deserve such praise, let alone being good at making money. If she really had that kind of brain, she wouldn't have bothered to hand this matter over to Qi Renli.

"It was just a lucky break." Meng Changqing wasn't being modest; he meant it sincerely.

"My lord, I'm afraid I won't be able to learn the essence this time. Please help me again next time someone comes," Qi Renli said earnestly.

“It is my responsibility to generate revenue for the county. As long as I am free, please feel free to call me.”

Meng Changqing spoke kindly, but he was actually quite troubled. As the saying goes, every monkey has its own way of being tethered, and the same applies to people. The tricks that worked for Du Lan and his team might not work for others.

"We'll talk about it later. There's no need to worry about such trivial matters," Meng Changqing consoled himself.

"Sir, I'll go give the silver notes to Meizi so she can deposit them into her account." With Meng Changqing's assurance, Qi Renli was naturally free of worries, only waiting for the next merchant to enter his Beishan County so he could make another fortune.

Unfortunately, he waited for several days but didn't see a single one.
