The Golden County Magistrate

Chen Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Sure enough, the bait was bitten!

I'm afraid there are silver notes worth three hundred thousand taels of silver in it!

He Jinyao took the key to unlock it and opened the lid. There were indeed thin papers inside.

Chen Yan was overjoyed. The papermaking technology of the Great Zhou was very backward, so paper was only used in very few occasions.

For example, silver notes!

He Jinyao took out the twenty or so pieces of paper in the wooden box, and then gently placed the first one in front of Chen Yan.

"This one is for the courtyard house at No. 77, Dongchenggen, Beijing, which is about six acres. According to the current market price, it is worth about 12,000 taels of silver."

Chen Yan was stunned: "Wait, this... is not a silver note?"

He Jinyao shook his head: "No, these are all land deeds and house deeds. This one is the house deed of No. 77 Dongchenggen, and this one is its land deed. Please check it, Lord Chen."

Chen Yan's joy disappeared in an instant, and he frowned and said, "Why do you give me these real estate deeds?"

He Jinyao saw his face change, and his heart sank.

As the Minister of Land, he cares most about the economy, so he naturally knows why the other party's face changed so much.

You know, many things are valuable these days, but real estate is the least valuable!

Of course, it is different when the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

But now that the chaos in the Great Zhou has just been settled, the situation is not completely stable.

Maybe one day the rebels will invade the capital, and real estate such as houses and land will be a bubble economy that will burst at the slightest provocation in the face of war!

Most of these real estate deeds were confiscated from corrupt officials and rebels.

But two of them are Tang Yun's own villas.

Tang Yun has not been on the throne for long, and she does not like luxury. In addition, she has not accumulated much private property due to years of war.

Now, in order to solve the disaster in Jizhou, these real estate deeds have to be used to pay the 300,000 taels of silver.

But judging from Chen Yan's intention, it's going to be bad!

But at this point, He Jinyao can only bite the bullet and speak.

"There are a total of 12 sets of land deeds here."

"The boss said that the Chamber of Commerce is in trouble now, and she really can't get 300,000 taels of silver for the time being."

"But these real estate deeds are valuable places inside and outside the capital!"

"According to the current market price, the total is definitely more than 300,000 taels of silver!"

Chen Yan looked at him like a lunatic.

He Jinyao couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.

Why did he feel like the other party wanted to crumple the stack of real estate deeds into a ball and stuff it into his mouth?

Fortunately, Chen Yan didn't do it after all. He just sighed, frowned, took the real estate deeds and flipped through them.

He Jinyao was so nervous that his palms were sweating.

It's bad!

This guy will definitely refuse!

But he didn't know that Chen Yan was almost unable to hold back at this time!

If he hadn't tried his best to hold back, he would have burst out laughing at this moment.

These real estate deeds are real treasures!

In fact, Chen Yan had been eyeing real estate for a long time, especially the land in the capital, which he had coveted for a long time.

It's just that Qingshan County has not yet realized his planned construction, and he has to spend money everywhere, so for the time being he doesn't have the financial resources to start.

However, with the help of the intelligence system he established, he had already estimated the real estate market in various places.

Just like the No. 77 Courtyard at the top of Dongchenggen, it is one of the closest areas to the palace.

It is probably because the situation in the Great Zhou is unstable now, so the appraiser's estimate is too low.

But according to Chen Yan's own estimation, the land is worth at least 30,000 taels now!

If the situation stabilizes, the price can go up!

And this does not include the house. Since it is a large courtyard covering an area of ​​6 acres, how can the layout be bad? It can be worth at least a few thousand taels.

He counted all the real estate deeds in his mind, and the more he counted, the more he wanted to laugh.

Three hundred thousand?

All these real estate deeds are in prime locations, with good locations and good orientations, plus they are all single-family courtyard designs, all of which are valuable goods!

According to his estimation, even in this turbulent situation, the total value is at least 500,000 taels!

After enduring for a long time, he finally suppressed the smile that was about to rush to his face, and raised his head with a sigh and a shake of his head.

"Old Zhou, you are being a bit unkind!"

"You are taking this as a compensation for 300,000 taels. Are you treating me like a fool?"

"These are worthless in this world!"

"In this case, I will give you at most 100,000 taels!"

He Jinyao said with a pale face: "How can this be!"

Chen Yan stuffed all the real estate deeds back into the wooden box: "If it doesn't work, take it back."

He Jinyao was anxious: "This won't work! How can I report it to the boss if I take it back?"

Chen Yan rolled his eyes: "Business is business. I can't let myself suffer such a big loss just to let you report it, right?"

He Jinyao has no way out now. He can only lower his status and ask for help.Begging: "Master Chen, you have to help me no matter what! Now the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce is in trouble. If you are willing to help, my boss will definitely remember your kindness!"

Chen Yan then sighed: "You have said so much, I am also kind-hearted, I can't just stand by and help. In this way, I will still give you 100,000 taels of silver for these real estate deeds."

He Jinyao lost his voice and said: "You..."

Chen Yan interrupted him: "But it seems that your boss is still sincere, I have decided to lend another 200,000 taels to your chamber of commerce to offset the difference. The interest is still the same as last time, what do you think?"

He Jinyao was stunned: "What last time?"

What happened in the Nafu Camp was too embarrassing, so Tang Yun didn't tell anyone else, not even Xun Yufei knew, let alone He Jinyao.

Chen Yan smiled and said, "When you go back and tell your boss, she will understand. If she agrees, it will be the same next time you sign the document. Let's leave it at that. I'll take you to see the finished product of the sugar first."

...

An hour later, all the sugar was packed into boxes and put into the carriage.

But He Jinyao was not in a hurry to get on the carriage. Instead, he pulled Chen Yan and said, "Before leaving, there is one more thing I want to ask Lord Chen."

Faced with a powerful tool that can help him make money, Chen Yan was naturally straightforward: "What do you mean by asking? Old Zhou, just ask, I will answer everything I know!"

He Jinyao simply told the story of the Tian family selling Xianzhi Yulu at a high price in the capital.

After that, he stared at Chen Yan: "I wonder if Lord Chen knows about this?"

Chen Yan laughed: "What do I think? I know too much about this!"

In fact, it was Chen Yan who taught the Tian family how to sell those cosmetics.

Targeted product packaging design, tiered pricing, quantitative purchase restrictions, hunger marketing...

When Chen Yan first taught the young master of the Tian family these methods, the latter was dumbfounded.

And at the beginning, Young Master Tian didn't believe that it could be sold, let alone sell well.

So after he came to buy the first batch of goods, he originally planned to come again every three months.

As a result, in less than seven days, he came to Qingshan County again.

Not only did the first batch of goods sell out in seven days, but it was also expected to be sold half a month later!

From then on, Young Master Tian took Chen Yan's teachings as his guiding principle.

Chen Yan suggested that the retail price of Xianzhi Yulu be 400 per bottle.

As a result, the market was booming, and the princes and nobles in the capital rushed to buy it, and now it has been sold for 600 taels of silver per bottle.

After hearing what Chen Yan said, He Jinyao was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Then can this white sugar also be sold at a high price like that?"

Chen Yan was stunned: "What?"
