On the occasion when the officialdom of the capital and the nobles gathered, the news that Song Nan wanted to buy the stinky land of the white paper workshop became a big talk. Many people also guessed that Song Nan wanted to use the land of Baizhifang to do something. Some of them did not think of this, but not to mention whether it could be rewarded, the huge amount of money consumed alone made it difficult for the brothers and relatives to accept it. And more importantly, there are conflicts and restrictions in the policies of real estate development and the imperial court, which is by no means a good area to make money.

The preferred way for nobles to make money is to get more profit with less cost and more stability. In addition to buying a large number of land estates as value-preserving assets, most of them choose to use their authority to monopolize industries. For example, the carriages and horses in the capital are invested and monopolized by the two marquises in the capital, and the grain materials transported from the Grand Canal to the capital are also contracted by the ships of Xunqi's family, and some people have monopolized the industries of Qianzhuang pawnshops. In short, they are all industries that can be maintained by power, and they do not violate each other. They earn money in their respective industries, and everyone is at peace with each other. When private businesses enter the capital, these guys will jointly exclude them or simply use their authority to bring them down.

The Xunqi have no problem with Song Nan doing this. They are just waiting for jokes. Although they don't know how much Song Nan's family background has, even if it is a very rich family, they are afraid to become poor.

There are many people with the same idea. It seems that Song Nan also seems to be aware of this. Since reaching an agreement with the court, Song Nan has not taken any action until mid-July. Later, the court was a little anxious. Yangting and ordered Song Nan to fulfill the agreement. If you want to buy land, you always have to measure the land and pay according to the price. What's the matter with such a silent delay?

Song Nan told the truth about the visiting master that he really didn't have so much money on hand and asked to pay Yunyun in installments. After the master returned, Yang Ting quit and put down his words and wanted to buy a lot of money, otherwise he would give up. There was no reason to owe the court money.

Song Nan did not do this on purpose, but he did not really consider the problem of insufficient money and silver. At the beginning, he made a budget. If he really wanted to do it, he needed to pay three million taels of silver in advance to start. In the warehouse of Jinyiwei Yamen, there were 100,000 taels of Anhua Wang's money, and when he copied Liu Jin's house was also He secretly coveted hundreds of thousands of taels of ink; in addition, his little grandfather Zhang Lun is willing to persuade his grandfather to lend him 500,000 taels, leaving only 1.2 million taels, and the rest of Song Nan intends to borrow money from the capital Yinzhuang.

I thought that with my face, as long as I had a mouth, those silver houses would not properly lend silver, but the fact is that all silver houses said that this silver could not be borrowed, even if the Marquis of Song gave high interest. Because all the silver houses believe that Song Nan's business is sure that it will not return, and the silver lent will not come back anyway. Instead of turning against each other in the future, it's better not to borrow it at all now. Maybe this is also good for the Marquis Song.

Song Nan was poured with a ladle of cold water on his head. He could no longer reach out to borrow money from the young man. The British government was opposed to this matter. The young man was not optimistic about Song Nan's idea and thought that Song Nan was whimsical. It is entirely because Song Nan is the son-in-law of the Duke's Mansion that the little father-in-law asked Zhang Mao to take out 500,000 taels of silver to lend it to Song Nan, which is already a great face. And to be honest, the Duke's mansion is indeed rich, but most of it is a field manor and business. 500,000 taels is already the limit of cash they can take out. It is absolutely impossible for the seller to lend Song Nan's silver to toss.

After being refused to pay in installments, things suddenly reached an impasse. Song Nan's original plan was to divide the transformation of the whole white paper workshop into ten phases of the project, and part of it will be completed, and then use the return of funds to roll up snowballs and carry out in the future.

Originally, more than 1 million taels of silver in each phase was absolutely more than enough, but the initial investment in the first phase was huge, and the payment for the land was only 600,000 taels. However, the problem is that the white paper workshop is very special. Before starting the construction, it is necessary to move out dozens of papermaking workshops that make stinky water in the workshop. , and empty all the stinky water and sludge in the square, and spend money to ask the grave owner to move away. These are all things that cost a lot of money.

And the land purchased belonging to the imperial court is mixed with many private homes. Although they are all low huts, they also have land deeds. Negotiate the price, demolition and resettlement of these people in these white paper shops also cost a lot of money. If 600,000 taels of silver are rashly invested, the cost of subsequent relocation, dredging, demolition and even spending money on workers, preparing construction materials, etc. will not be enough. Do you buy those places and leave them idle? Song Nan will never do this.

Song Nan frowned all day long and thought about raising money. She was in a bad mood. The Song Mansion was also sadly affected by his emotions. The little princess even sneaked back to the British Mansion to ask Zhang Mao to borrow money, but it attracted Zhang Mao's scolding: "The Duke's Mansion is not as brainless as him. It spends money to fool around in the white paper workshop. What is the future except for stinky water and sludge? If there is a future, will it be Song Nan's turn? I don't pinch my legs and stomach. Go back and tell Song Nan that if he wants to get some property, it is serious to honestly set up manor and land outside the city. I can also give him part of the business of the government, but if you want to make these crooked and evil losers, don't implicate the government of our country.

The little princess came back in frustration and didn't dare to tell the truth to Song Nan. She secretly advised Song Nan, "This thing is not easy to do. Why don't you change to another business? With your husband's ingenuity, you are afraid that you can't find a way to make money?"

Song Nan shook his head and said, "No, I must do this. They will all regret it."

The little princess was speechless and told the rest of the family, and the others were also speechless. Or did Aunt Ye Fang really say, "You can't do it without money. Don't mess with him. After a while, he will stop by himself."

If it has been deadlocked for more than ten days, and July is coming to end, it has already become a big joke about Song Nan's spending money to buy a white paper workshop. The court officials also have also had a trace of disappointment. They could have appreciated Song Nan's consuming money and owed a lot of debts, but now they can only Occasionally, he mentioned this matter to laugh at Song Nan.

Song Nan himself seemed to have given up this matter and no longer mentioned it. The family was relieved and life gradually returned to normal.

July 28 is an auspicious day. Song's house held a wedding for Li Daniu and Xiaoping'er. Song's mother took Xiaoping'er as her goddaughter, and Song's house became Xiaoping's mother's family. Officials knew the relationship between Li Daniu and Song Nan. Instead, they all came to Song Mansion to give gifts and calmed down from morning to afternoon.

Song Nan was a welcome guest for a day, standing with a sore back. She was sitting down and drinking tea when she saw a young man entering the hall to report: "Sir, someone came to visit in front of the door."

Song Nan frowned and said, "Who doesn't know the rules so much and still comes to give gifts after noon? Isn't this unlucky?"

The little one said, "It doesn't seem to be a gift-giving. It's a girl with half a size."

Song Nan was stunned and said, "Girl with half a size?"

"Yes, he said he wanted to see the master by name and said that he would visit his old friend."

The women in the hall looked at Song Nan doubtfully and couldn't help wondering if Song Nan had provoked flowers and plants outside, and now they have come to the door with their children?

"I'll take a look." Song Nan got up and out of the hall, walked through the courtyard to the door of the house. After stepping on the steps and looking out, she saw two people standing under the steps. They held hands and stood with their backs to the door of the house, as if they were admiring a few giant willows in front of the gate of the Song Mansion.

The tall woman is obviously wearing a dark green skirt and holding an oil-paper umbrella that is shading from the sun. She is slim and elegant, round and graceful. Standing beside her is a teenager, and her clothes are also very shiny.

"Excuse me, what's the matter with you two looking for me, Song Nan?" Song Nan arched his hand and said loudly.

The woman holding the umbrella slowly turned around and obliquely exposed half of her charming cheeks. Song Nan's mouth was open and said, "Why is it you?"

The woman smiled and said, "Why can't it be me?"

Song Nan laughed and said, "What a surprise. Hurry up, please come into the house. I didn't expect you and me to meet again. It's too surprising."

The woman smiled and said, "Are you surprised? I'm not surprised. I remember what you promised me.

Song Nan laughed and said, "Remember, how can I not remember, Uncle Zhong, order me to sit down and prepare tea in the hall."
