Zhang Chengye is a man with vision. As one of the first indigenous people to come into contact with Zhao Xianren, he immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an opportunity to make a career.

The status of scholars, farmers, merchants, and merchants was so low that modern people could hardly imagine. Not only were they subject to strict control by the government, but they were also ostracized by dignitaries. Even transporting goods by water was exploited by gate management officials everywhere.

After several contacts, Zhang Chengye found that Zhao Xianren's attitude towards businessmen was surprisingly good, and Zhao Xianren himself was considered a big businessman. So when Zhao Xianren held an auction, Zhang Chengye was the first to spend a lot of money to buy the first batch of goods.

.

Later, Zhao Xianren built two more black roads, which were wide enough for six carriages to run side by side, and the road surface was very hard, and they were not afraid of water at all. For such a good road, Zhao Xianren did not set up a checkpoint to charge, and allowed everyone to ride on it.

Free passage is indeed a magical practice.

After hearing the news that the high-rise building built by Xianren was open for purchase, Zhang Chengye immediately threw down his job, got on his horse and ran all the way, catching up with the first car viewing the house.

The tall and spacious carriage once again shocked Boss Zhang. There were as many as 50 seats in the carriage. It could move without the need for an ox horse to pull it. A delicate little woman could easily drive it.

On the spacious black road, the car drove fast and steadily, almost as fast as flying.

After seeing the model house, Zhang Chengye was the first to find Zhang Yan and ask to buy it. Unexpectedly, he was told that he would have to wait five days for Zhao Xianren's bank to open before he could buy it with a new currency.

After coming back, Zhang Chengye only did one thing, and that was to search for gold everywhere. I don't know about other things. This kind of thing can definitely be used to exchange for new currency.

Sure enough, when Zhao Xianren's Daming Bank opened five days later, Zhang Chengye was the one who exchanged the most Ming Yuan. So in the new house auction the next day, Zhang Chengye got his wish and was the first to win the penthouse duplex he was looking for.

Unlike other people with dozens of family members, old and young, the Zhang family moved here from other places, and Zhang Chengye's generation is the second generation and has no foundation.

Zhang Chengye decided to move to a new house in the base community with his wife, concubine, and three children, leaving the ancestral home to his younger brother and his family.

The new house has two floors, covering a total of more than 420 square meters, with nine decent bedrooms and several workers' rooms for servants. It is enough for Zhang Chengye's family.

In fact, this house type has been modified. In the real world, a mansion with such a large area should not have so many bedrooms. Instead, it will have many other rooms. For example, a video room, a Chinese restaurant, a Western restaurant, a reception room, and a multi-functional house.

However, Zhao Ming considered that in ancient times, wealthy people had a prosperous family, and often had one wife and several concubines, and there would be a lot of children in a lifetime. If there were fewer rooms, there might be no room for them, so he put many inapplicable

The room was converted into a bedroom.

Not to mention, this change has been well received by those who came to see the house. Some even said that there are not enough rooms and hope that the new apartment types to be launched in the future will have more rooms.

As long as the money is given, Zhao Ming said that it can be done. The most important thing is to build a few more floors. If the two-story duplex is not enough, then build three or even four floors. If you don’t believe it, it is not enough to live in. But this type of apartment is also weird enough. If it is in

In the real world, absolutely no one would dare to design a house like this.

The new house comes with all the furniture and appliances, so naturally Zhao Ming will not save this little money. Of course, the furniture is all in a modern style, mainly made of iron, fabric and plastic materials. Solid wood is not favored by the indigenous people.

Welcome, because this thing is not as good as the furniture I used originally.

In terms of home appliances, the air conditioner provides unified heating and cooling for the entire building. No additional installation is required. There is a refrigerator, a washing machine, and a clothes dryer. There is no need for a TV for the time being, let alone a computer.

On the first night after moving into his new home, Zhang Chengye couldn't fall asleep for a long time. The mattress was made of coconut palm and natural latex, which was comfortable and breathable without being too soft. The bed was a matching artificial cotton nine-hole winter quilt with a Falai velvet quilt cover.

, it is warm and comfortable without weighing down the body. There is central air conditioning and heating in the house. You only need to adjust the temperature at the door, and you don’t feel cold at all when you get up to go to the toilet at night.

Zhang Chengye rolled on the bed for most of the night and finally fell asleep. Before falling asleep, his last thought was that these 50,000 taels of gold were well spent!

"Fifty thousand taels of gold?" Zhao Ming was stunned when he looked at the new house sales report handed over by Zhang Yan.

The report lists the sales of ten penthouse duplexes in the first five buildings, arranged from high to low. Among them, Zhang Chengye ranks first. The sky-high price of 50,000 taels of gold exceeds Zhao Ming's imagination.

Fifty thousand taels!

Calculated according to the international gold price, this is a huge sum of nearly 700 million yuan, and there is no need to pay taxes.

Looking at the other nine houses, the prices are not low either. The lowest one costs 25,000 taels of gold. Adding up the ten houses, Zhao Ming earned another 300,000 taels of gold.

Three hundred thousand taels of gold...equivalent to RMB...more than 4.1 billion!

Of course, it is impossible to realize all this amount of gold at once, and it will have to be digested slowly through the island country’s purchasing channels.

Zhao Ming suddenly felt that he should probably open a few jewelry stores. Otherwise, there would be so much gold, diamonds that could be mined in Africa in the future, the four major domestic rare stones, and jade from Myanmar. The supply cost of raw materials is extremely low, and these require people.

For handmade work, it was easier to find high-level craftsmen here in ancient times.

However, you can't just think about making money, you also have to think about how to improve your strength and protect your wealth, otherwise no matter how much money you make, it will be an advantage to others.

"Boss, boss?" Seeing Zhao Ming not speaking for a long time, Zhang Yan was a little worried, thinking that Zhao Ming thought the house was sold too cheap.

"Ah, it's okay, I was thinking about something." Zhao Ming shook his head, "I didn't expect these houses to be sold for such a high price."

"Probably because this is the first batch and the quantity is limited."

"Probably. We will build more houses and introduce more house types in the future. I remember someone said before that if we need houses with more rooms, I will find someone to design them later and designate another land opposite the base community.

The block is specially designed to build this kind of oversized house. You can spread the word in advance to let everyone know about it, so that you can be prepared."

"When these houses are sold, will they still only charge gold?"

"No. We are collecting Ming Yuan, make no mistake. Gold is just one of the commodities that can be exchanged for Ming Yuan, not the only commodity. In fact, we also need meat such as beef, mutton, chicken, duck and goose. These things

If you purchase them from us, they are all made with hormones, so you don’t feel safe eating them and the taste will be a little worse.”

"Poultry such as chickens, ducks and geese are okay, but if you want to buy cattle and sheep in large quantities, you have to go to the Mongolians on the grasslands."
