"I really can't believe that this unknown jewelry store can actually mobilize more than 700,000 silver dollars in half a day.
It seems that this place is really rich."
Looking at the thick stack of dealer bills and several large boxes of silver ingots and silver dollars on the table, Wen Desi sighed a little.
The place where Wen Desi and the others are now is a house they just bought today.
The original owner of this house was Cheng Donghe, the owner of Da Sixi Jewelry Store.
Boss Cheng owned several houses in Neijiang.
When he heard that Wen Desi was planning to buy a residence, he immediately gave up an unused house.
The house covers an area of about 800 square meters and has a traditional courtyard structure.
It was originally given by Boss Cheng to his youngest son.
Later, his youngest son went to Japan to study, and the house became idle.
Although it is idle, the servants inside are still there, and the daily cleaning and maintenance have not been interrupted.
All kinds of furniture and supplies inside are complete, but of course there are no modern things.
Wen Desi and the others moved in with nothing.
This is a medium-sized courtyard with two entrances.
There are 5 rooms in the north, 3 in the front and 2 in the west, and 4 in the east and west.
There is a corridor in front of the house to protect it from wind and rain.
In addition, the courtyard wall is divided into a front courtyard, an outer courtyard, and a back courtyard and an inner courtyard.
The courtyard walls are connected by a moon gate.
The front yard has a shallow depth, with one or two rooms used as gatehouses, and the back yard is used as a living room.
The architecture is exquisite, with square bricks on the ground and bluestone steps.
Although this yard does not have modern high-tech facilities, Wen Desi is still very satisfied with such a traditional house.
In the era when he came, this kind of original classical architecture was very valuable.
The gems for sale this time are of course not natural gems, but artificial gems that Gu Xiaolu found from the decorations in the office building.
In the eyes of people at this time, these artificial gems are all truly top-grade gems.
In addition to the background of "foreign adults", jewelry stores do not dare to lower prices too harshly, and the prices they offer are relatively conscientious.
This batch of artificial gems was sold for a total of 750,000 silver dollars, which is approximately 54.
Ten thousand taels of silver, 75,000 pounds, 370,000 US dollars.
The house, the land and the furniture and supplies inside were all discounted to 3,000 silver dollars.
Wen Desi set aside another 20,000 silver dollars to ask Da Sixi's owner to help purchase some items and hire manpower.
Wen Desi now still has 650,000 banknotes and 77,000 cash ingots and silver dollars.
Wen Desi thought for a while and said, "Xiao Lu, have Chromie and the others finished?"
Gu Xiaolu looked at his watch and said, "Well, they have about 2 hours to complete the knowledge infusion."
"As soon as they are finished, ask them to come over immediately."
Wen Desi nodded.
The Chromie in his mouth, as well as the few followers he brought out this time, are all newly completed biochemicals.
The biochemical human preparation equipment that came with Wen Desi has a total of 40 medium-sized culture tanks, which can prepare 40 biochemical humans or other medium-sized creatures at one time.
The modulation time of ordinary biochemical humans is 48 hours, and the modulation time of advanced biochemical humans is 96 hours.
The brewing equipment after time travel is basically intact and does not affect its use.
However, the stored brewed nutrient solution only has 30 units, which can only be used to brew 30 biochemical humans.
Of course, even if there is no ready-made nutrient solution, other materials can be used instead.
The biochemical raw material converter attached to the system can convert nutritional raw materials provided by the outside world, such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates and other organic matter and minerals, into nutrient solutions for preparation.
Except for the lower efficiency, it does not affect the use.
However, this requires sufficient supplies.
Among the supplies that Boss Cheng was asked to buy this time, there was a large amount of grain, pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks.
In addition to being eaten, it is basically used as raw material for biochemical humans. evening.

Kafur, who was sent to the county government to handle matters, returned.
Kaful said: "Mr.
Wen, County Magistrate Zhang here has agreed to our request to buy land.
He said that he will find several landowners tomorrow to help us get things done.
The official land belongs to the government and can be processed at any time."
"Well, not bad, how is the land price there?"
Wen Desi nodded.
Kafur said: "As far as I know, the cultivated land there is not very good, about 30 to 40 silver dollars per acre, and the price of hillsides, wasteland, and tidal flats is about 10 to 15 yuan per acre."
Wen Desi thought for a while and said: "Well, we don't have enough funds now.
Let's buy the land near the base first, and then buy the peninsula together.
Let's buy 3,000 acres first.
Remember to have a river bank.
This place Transportation is inconvenient, and most supplies will have to be transported by water in the future.”
"Yes, I will go to negotiate with them tomorrow."
The place Wen Desi crossed was near Baima Town in the west of Neijiang.
It is called Menkantan.
It is a small peninsula surrounded by the Tuojiang River on three sides.
It is about 4 kilometers from south to south and 1.5 kilometers from east to west.
The total area is about 6 square meters.
A kilometer is equivalent to 10,000 acres.
If you buy them all, it will cost about 300,000 silver dollars.
Although the current funds are enough, Wen Desi still has a lot to spend money on, so he has to buy part of it first.
To be honest, Sichuan is really not a good place for farming development.
Although there is no shortage of most resources here and the population is sufficient, the traffic is really annoying.
"The road to Sichuan is difficult" is really not a joke.
In this era, Sichuan did not have railways, and the roads were so bad that it made people speechless.
If the base of the office building had not been temporarily immovable, Wen Desi would never have chosen to farm here.
Who told him that the landing place when crossing was not a coastal area?
There is nothing we can do about it.
However, he should be lucky that he did not travel to deserts, polar regions or the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
However, although Sichuan has the disadvantage of inconvenient transportation, it also has many advantages.
This place is in the southwest and is a relatively remote place.
Both the power of the Qing court and the powers are relatively weak, and it has received much less interference during its development than coastal areas.
Moreover, the resources required for development are relatively complete and the manpower is sufficient.
Three days later, Menkan Beach in Baima Town.
Since yesterday, the 3,000 acres of land here have changed owners.
It has to be said that although the Manchu officials were incompetent externally, they still had some skills in dealing with the Chinese people.
Less than 60% of this land belongs to the government's hillsides, tidal flats and other wasteland.
The remaining land involves more than a dozen landowners, large and small.
If it were in future generations, so many people would have to be settled within a few months. .
Maybe if you encounter a bad household, it will be easy for you to struggle for a few years.
But that's different now.
With the strong support and care of the Neijiang government, it was all done in less than two days.
Of course, this is also because this land was bought by a "foreign master", and they still paid half the market price.
How dare you not give it a try?

A total of 95,500 silver dollars were spent on the land purchase this time, as well as several artificial gemstones for officials such as the county magistrate and the chief secretary.
At this time, Wen Desi and others were standing on the edge of the Tuojiang River, looking at their new territory.
"Mr.
Wen, it would be great if we could use artificial gemstones to pay for the land we buy," Gu Xiaolu said with some hesitation.
Wen Desi shook his head and said with a smile: "Hahaha, don't dream.
These landowners don't have much wealth.
Most of them need cash, and they are reluctant to spend on luxury goods such as gems."
Then, he said: "Xiaolu, write it down.
Build a pier on this shore and build a road."
After Wen Desi finished speaking, Gu Xiaolu said: "Mr.
Wen, it's almost the Chinese New Year, and there's no way to recruit people on the market.
These projects can only be done after the Chinese New Year."
"Of course not now.
You make a plan first, and after the Lantern Festival, we will start recruiting people and start construction.
Well, you will be responsible for the internal construction, and Kafur will be responsible for the external negotiations.
I am going to Shanghai.
These days God leaves it to you," Wen Desi said.
"Yes, please don't worry and leave it to us."
After Wen Desi arranged the infrastructure at home, he turned around and said, "Chromie, you come with me to Shanghai this time.
From now on, you will stay in Shanghai as the representative of the company."
"As ordered, Mr.
Wen" Chromie is a cute girl with European appearance, but now she dresses in men's clothing.
She is good at finance and business
