What should I do if I have money?

Buy a car, a house, and a beautiful maid? Just such a little thought is of course unpromising. Moreover, Zhang Chao's house is also under construction, a country villa with five or fifteen rooms.

I bought the car, and my father's yellow-fat horse and the best-class war horse should be at least at the level of the Land Hu. Zhang Chao himself also has two horses, one of which is an eight-year-old horse. This one is not expensive, and it is only a Volkswagen at most. But the one that Cheng Yaojin gave him was a three-year-old war horse, and it must be a Porsche. Now that old horse has been reduced to a cart by Zhang Chao and is no longer for riding.

There are cars, horses, and slaves and beautiful maids at home. Oh, beautiful maids are not considered. Daya and Erya can only be considered two malnourished Chaihuo girls. When they arrived at the Zhang family, they had a good meal and accommodation during this period, and their faces were obviously rosy. I guess if this continues, they will gain weight.

But his innate foundation is a bit lacking. At most, the two girls can pass the exam and have nothing to do with the beauty. The Persian maid that Zhang Chao saw in the West City Renma City last time was very beautiful, but it took hundreds of stagnants. Even Zhang Chao now said that spending a few hundred stags to buy a maid is still a bit expensive.

It is still in the entrepreneurial stage now, so you can’t just enjoy and squander.

Zhang Chao felt that he should still take root in the land, sell pastries, make catering, or make alkali and soap, these can only be considered side jobs, and the main and vice-president cannot be confused.

In this era, identity is very important.

The identity of the landlord is obviously tens of millions of times stronger than the identity of the merchant. Therefore, even if the land does not gain much, Zhang Chao must stick to this identity.

However, the Zhang family now has more than 500 acres of land, thanks to the help of several dukes, otherwise they would not be able to get so much land. It is the early Tang Dynasty. Although the land is much cheaper, most people can still live there. Who would be willing to sell the land? And if you want to sell it, many of the land is divided by the imperial court, and you can't even sell it.

Zhang Chao wanted to develop in agriculture, but he couldn't buy land, which was a big restriction.

It is better to have the middle and late dynasty. At that time, it was generally impossible to suppress mergers. As long as you have money, you can merge as you want. But now, Zhang Chao wants to buy land from the villagers of Zhangjiagou, which is basically a fantasy.

Life is harder and more tiring, and as long as you can live, you will not sell land.

One advantage to the people in the early stages of the new dynasty was that when encountering famines or something, the court would always issue some food relief, and at least exempt taxes from disaster areas. It would be difficult to make money by using the disaster and lend money to collect land.

Just now, Zhang Chao looked at the big valley west of Zhangjiagou and suddenly thought that this was also a large piece of land. Although it was mainly barren slopes, it basically had no value for reclaiming and growing grain, and the valley was even more of a large ditch.

But Zhang Chao thinks this valley is still very valuable, and the key is how to use it.

If you cultivate it to plant millet and wheat, it is unrealistic and not cost-effective. But what if you plant something else, such as planting some fruits, some medicinal materials, etc.?

For example, can we do breeding, gather pigs or chickens and ducks?

When you have money, you can also block a dam on the bathing ditch below, build a water wheel mill, iron mill, etc. Of course, you can also raise fish and grow lotus roots. Maybe you can also build some paddy fields at the edge of the ditch and plant rice. At least, you can make a few vegetable gardens and grow some spinach. Nowadays, spinach is quite expensive.

Zhang Chao felt that the deserted trenches and slopes had great achievements.

But there is one thing that requires a lot of money to develop to develop. Fortunately, Zhang Chao is not short of money now. Catering and engineering can bring a lot of cash, while alkali and soap making are even more profitable. Even if it is not as simplistic as catering, it is better to make a lot of money.

If you buy the wastegate, you can take it slowly at the beginning, plant trees and raise chickens first. The initial cost is not high, and you can also make some profits.

The more I thought about it, Zhang Chaoyue felt that it should be done as soon as possible. If someone waited for someone to do it, there would be no chance.

Zhang Chao turned around and left, first found Munmasa and asked about the belongings of the wasteland.

"It's just a wasteland, with four or five farms occupying a piece by the two ditches in the north and south, but they are all wastelands and slopes, which is useless."

The ditch between the north and south plateaus is very long, stretching for dozens of miles. However, Zhang Chao is now interested in the section of Zhangjiagou, which is the section of Whale Gully in later generations, which is about ten miles long.

This summer is a long ditch, and in winter, the water is dry, and there are only some intermittent water holes. The mountains on both sides are actually soil, not real mountains, but just the ditch slopes of the two plateaus.

Zhang Chao thought that in the future, a dam will be built here, and this place will become a large reservoir.

"If I want to buy the ten-mile long desert near Zhangjiagou, would you say it would be OK?"

"What are you buying this ten-mile deserted valley?"

"Plant trees, plant fruit trees." Zhang Chao replied.

Muramasa was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhang Chao seriously, and found that he was not joking. He shook his head, "Why do you want to buy this desert slope to plant trees? If you want to plant it, just plant it directly. It's all in the desert slope and the desert slope, but you still have to pay for it."

"I want to buy the ditches and slopes in this ten-mile section together."

Zhang Chaoqi is a long-term one. Since you want to buy it, just buy it all. You can’t just buy a Dongpo instead of the Westpole. Otherwise, if you want to build a dam, others may not agree. It is even more difficult for you to store water and raise fish.

"You have to ask Li Zheng, who can answer this matter. It just so happened that Li Zheng also returned to the village today and was talking to your father on the other end."

"Xie Cunzheng, I'll go find Li Zheng now."

In front of the new cellar of Zhang family, after listening to Zhang Chao’s thoughts, he pondered for a long time.

"You really want to buy it, buy it to plant trees?"

"Well, planting cherry trees, this thing is expensive now in Chang'an City. I think it will not cost a loss if you plant it. In addition, you can raise some chickens on the slope and ducks in the ditch. Taking it to Chang'an to sell it should be an input."

"Sanlang's mind is just about living, and he can always think of these things that others can't think of and dare not think of. We have never thought about selling steamed buns before, but Sanlang thought of them, and they are so popular. Alas, we are old, if you really want to buy them, I will go back to the county government office to inquire with you. Basically, there will be no problem with this. It's a deserted slope. If you are willing to take some money to get some money to the yamen, you will definitely succeed."

Zhang Chao nodded, just a wasteland and a deserted slope.

"Mr. Li Zheng, this is what I think. If you want to buy it, just buy all the ten miles and one sections nearby, and buy both ditches and two slopes. It is best to have a contract in the county government and save a file."

"This is more troublesome, and it will also involve several other farms." Li frowned.

"I am willing to pay the money, give the county government a sum of money, and also give our village and several other villages a sum of money. There is only one requirement, buy out at one time, sign a contract, and archive the county government."

Zhang Chao doesn't want to save a little money now, and then wait for him to develop the slope. Everyone is jealous and repetitive. Such things are not just not available, but there will definitely be them. Therefore, it is best to spend more money now.

"It is the most convenient to be willing to spend money, but it is possible to do it without spending money." Li Zheng said. Although Li Zheng is nominally the chief of a Li, in fact, there is no chief of the township level in the Tang Dynasty, and five Li Zhengs take turns to do the work. Therefore, he is actually the township chief, and of course he is under his jurisdiction. If he comes forward to discuss, the other few farms will have to sell some face.

"It's better to spend money, Mr. Li Zheng, how much do you think it's going to cost to buy this Shiligou slope?"

The land is different and the prices are different.

There are paddy fields and dry fields, and there are ridges, ditches, slopes, etc.

Even the same type of land is poor, fat and thin, and the prices are also different. In addition to fat and thin, whether transportation is convenient and whether water is convenient, is also a factor affecting the price.

For example, those good lands that live on the water side are worth a thousand gold, and one hundred acres are worth a thousand gold, which is very expensive.

In addition, whether the land is broken also affects the price. If the land is continuous, the natural price is high. If the land is fragmented, it will affect the price.

Of course, there is also a competitive relationship that affects the price. If many people want to buy a piece of land, the price will naturally rise. If no one cares about it, the price will naturally fall.

The ten-mile ditch slope that Zhang Chao wanted to buy was not small in area, about ten miles long in the north and south, and about two miles wide in the east and west. It was about five million square meters, which was equivalent to 7,500 acres. Because one acre in the Tang Dynasty was slightly smaller than a city acre in later generations, only about 0.87 acres. In this way, this land was about 8,620 acres.

At the price of paddy fields, Zhang Chao will definitely not be able to afford it, and it will not be worth it.

"If you want to buy all Shiligou slopes, you have to ask each village to sign a contract and save it in the yamen, which will cost a lot of money."

"How many?"

"Together, you can even get a thousand guan of money." Li Zheng thought for a while.

Zhang Chao felt relieved. He bought tens of thousands of acres of land, which cost about one million yuan. After all, one acre of land is only worth about a hundred yuan, which is still very cost-effective.

This is not a contract, but a permanent purchase. From now on, the more than 7,000 acres of ditch slopes will be completely owned by Zhang Chao. He can use whatever he wants. No one else has the right to interfere.

"Can you really buy one thousand guan?" Zhang Chao asked.

Li Zheng was startled, "You really want to spend a thousand guan to buy this ten-mile deserted valley?"

"As long as the government can sell it, I will buy it."

"Buy it all ten miles?"

“Buy them all.”

Isn’t it just a thousand guan? Zhang Chao feels that his current income from catering and other businesses can fully support Zhang Chao to buy the 7,500 acres of land.

Anyway, money is going to be spent. He can’t really dig a cellar and bury it.

"Mr. Li Zheng, you can help me discuss this matter. I can accept it if it is less than 1,000 guan. It is just that there is a requirement that the installment of 1,000 guan will be cleared within one year and pay in installments in quarterly installments. After the matter is completed, I can pay 200 guan first, and then pay 200 guan at a time. As for how the county and each village share the money, I don't care. As long as each village is willing to sign the contract, I will be willing to pay."

"As long as it is within one thousand guan, it's fine." Zhang Chao said very generously. One thousand guan, it seemed that it was only one thousand guan in his mouth.
