MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 621 East of the city

"You don't need to make a penny of the profit. I just want you to make a copy of the drawing and take it away after the completion. If someone wants to build such a greenhouse in the future, I will take 20% of the profit and send it to the General's Mansion." Yes, for ten years, how about it?”

Zhang Yong is naturally smart if he can make his reputation bigger in Cezhou.

First he offered no wages so that everyone in the General's Mansion could relax their guard, and then he proposed to take away the replica drawings, knowing that the General's Mansion might not agree, so he then promised long-term benefits to make Du Jingyi a little tempted.

Although the intention is obvious, the person actually means it sincerely.

Of course, he knows that such a 20% profit may not be something that is valued in the eyes of the General's Mansion, but as long as he can have some connection with the General's Mansion, it will be beneficial to him in the future, so even if he gives up 30% Li, he is also happy to facilitate this!

Du Jingyi took a closer look at Zhang Yong and found that it was indeed good, so he immediately waved his hand and said.

"I will pay you for the work on Xikuoyuan. After it is completed, you can take away the drawings. I even have some other things related to repairing the house. You can take them with you, but I have other conditions." .”

  “It doesn’t matter if you say so, madam.”

"I want you to pull together a team within a year, covering everything related to house construction, repairs, landscaping, even interior furnishings, placement, Feng Shui, and various objects. , that is to say, I want you to build a new house on the ground, with a front shop and a backyard, you have to pay for it, and you can live in it immediately, do you understand what I mean?"

Du Jingyi’s words are obviously a bit over the top.

Zhao Ping was stunned for a while after hearing this. He had no idea what the general's wife wanted such a team to do, but Zhang Yong was more knowledgeable, so he gradually understood.

 Following that, he looked a little solemn, and without any hesitation, he asked directly.

"There is a piece of land in the east of the city that has always been empty. It has been a stretch of grass for so many years. But I heard a few days ago that someone bought that land. So, is your wife the buyer?"

Hearing this, Du Jingyi knew that he had chosen the wrong person, and he was indeed smart.

So he smiled and replied without any rebuttal.

"Cezhou has developed very well in recent years, but the city is a bit chaotic. The merchants have a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west and there is no place to put them. The land in the east of the city was bought by a friend of mine for the purpose We want to create Cezhou’s own commercial district. The land in the east of the city is flat and spacious. If it is built properly, I believe it will be no worse than any existing place in the city."

Her words made everyone present excited and worried.

As excited as Zhang Yong, he naturally knows how much space a place like this can give him. When the time comes, let alone Cezhou, Daxing Dynasty may be able to have the reputation of his Zhang family. This is a matter of honoring the ancestors!

 Of course he has to accept it.

At this moment, thinking about the 20% profit that I just proposed, it was really a big deal for Guan Gong, so he immediately made a promise.

"This matter is of great importance. A small mouth must be stricter than an iron rooster, and no outsiders will know about it, so madam, don't worry, such a team will definitely not cause trouble to you, oh no, to your friends!"

Zhang Yong's guarantee is of course sincere, but people's hearts are not so simple and can be easily believed, so Du Jingyi has many ways to restrain him.

 But such a move made other people in the general's mansion worried.

What they are worried about is not that their wife cannot handle this matter well, but that she is afraid that if she does it too well, it will give others a reason to say something. If the word that Cezhou is the General's Mansion leaks out, then they will be called a trouble!

 It’s just that he naturally won’t say much in front of outsiders.

 After arranging everything, Butler He took the two of them to the accounting room to pay the money. Du Jingyi and Ying Tao were left in the room. Ying Tao did not shy away and asked directly. “Aren’t you worried, madam?”

“Are you afraid that Zhang Yong will go out and talk nonsense?”

"Well, after all, I have never dealt with him before. How credible can his words be? The most important thing is that I don't even know how well he works. Madam told him such a big thing. If he gave birth to something else, Thinking about it, will that cause trouble?”

Cherry's worries are not unreasonable, but these are all within Du Jingyi's control.

"Now that I tell him, he is naturally putting great effort into building Xikuoyuan. I don't lack his wages, but I just want to see what he can do when he is full of energy? If it is true that people are like their reputation, Then it is not a big problem to let him use the land in the east of the city. As for the things you mentioned, I have mentioned it before. My friends bought the land. What does it have to do with me? What does it have to do with my general's mansion? What's the matter? Don't worry."

"I am afraid that if the new emperor hears something..."

　　Du Jingyi smiled before Cherry finished speaking.

"Young Cherry has indeed reached the age of becoming an aunt. She has started to be cautious about everything. This is a good thing. But your wife, I am not just old and ignorant. Naturally, this little thing has been taken into account. Don't worry. Bar."

Du Jingyi said "Don't worry" one after another, so it was not easy for Tao Ting to ask any more questions.

In any case, my wife did not do anything wrong, so she stopped thinking about it. Compared to her worries, Butler He really did what he was told and had no doubts about Du Jingyi.

 After seeing off Zhao Ping and Zhang Yong, he went to the yard where the stewards were and called Zhou Mi.

Housekeeper Zhou is still young, in his mid-twenties, but he is born into a family. His father helps in the stables, and his mother used to be a sweeper in Mrs. Gu's yard. They are not very powerful. servant.

He is a smart person and has always looked shrewd and capable since he was a child.

It's not unusual to have such a mind, but what's surprising is that he is very thorough and steady in doing things, and he lives up to his name, being very thorough.

After seeing him, Butler He said calmly.

"The madam is interested in your idea, so she asked you to go to the front hall to ask questions, clean up, and leave quickly."

 Happiness comes from heaven, this is a great good thing.

But apart from a moment of shock and surprise when he first heard the news, Zhou Mi was still very calm. Butler He also saw it, and after a flash of satisfaction, he quickly returned to calmness.

 When the two came to the front hall, Du Jingyi's eyebrows were much more relaxed than before.

After all, they are all members of the family, so Du Jingyi speaks straightforwardly.

"Chou Mi, right? The method is good. I think he is a bit more cautious than the housekeeper. Now that the people who will repair the house have decided, I will leave this matter to you. If you don't understand anything, just ask Ask Butler He to listen more, ask more, and learn more, do you understand?"
