Chapter 225 Jiangzhou New District
Seeing Chen Xiu standing there in a daze, Lu San asked with a smile, "What are your names, gentlemen?"
Lu San had a keen eye and knew at a glance that Chen Xiu and the others were not ordinary people.
Although their attire is not conspicuous, their every move reveals the aura of being rich...
Chen Xiu hesitated for a moment before saying, "My last name is Chen."
"Boss Chen, this way please. You are all new here, please find a place to stay first."
Lu San was quite respectful and took Chen Xiu towards the city center.
Meng Cheng came to Chen Xiu and whispered, "Master, be careful that this person has other purposes."
After all, Chen Xiu's identity is so special, it's not a bad thing to be vigilant.
But Chen Xiu waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, and followed Lu San.
Along the way, the streets were very noisy.
Turning around, it seemed that there were construction sites everywhere in Jiangzhou City.
"Why are houses being demolished everywhere in Jiangzhou City?"
Chen Xiu was quite puzzled.
Lu San explained: "This means demolishing all the old houses and building new ones."
"Oh? Are the people in Jiangzhou so wealthy?"
Chen Xiu said with a hint of surprise.
In his opinion, Jiangzhou City is a very rich place.
"It's not us Jiangzhou people who want to build a new house, but our Lord Jiang who wants to build a new house." Lu San walked in front of them, pointed to another ruin that had just been demolished, and said: "A luxury inn is being built here. When you come again in a few months, you may be able to stay here. And over here, we are preparing to build a new residence."
Hearing what Lu San said, Chen Xiu frowned immediately.
So, this is Jiang Zuo’s private property?
Tear down people's houses and build your own mansion?
Waves of anger surged into Chen Xiu's heart.
People inside and outside the court often said that Jiang Zuo was a corrupt official. At first, Chen Xiu didn't believe it, but after meeting him today, Chen Xiu lost all his good impression of Jiang Zuo.
Seeing that Chen Xiu didn't say anything, Lu San said again: "I wonder if you are interested in investing in real estate in Jiangzhou City."
"What is real estate?" Chen Xiu's face was full of confusion.
He came into contact with so many strange things in one day that he couldn't fully understand them.
"This is a concept map drawn by our Lord Jiang himself. Please take a look at it."
Lu San said, then took out a leaflet from his arms and handed it to Chen Xiu and others.
Chen Xiu was quite puzzled and took it in his hand to have a look.
There are houses drawn on this paper.
The painting was indeed delicate, but Chen Xiu still couldn't understand the words written on it.
"Jiangzhou New District gives you a five-star home."
Chen Xiu read the words above in a low voice.
What the hell?
He put the thing away and turned to ask, "I don't know what this so-called real estate is all about?"
Lu San patiently explained, "Our Jiangzhou City will soon become prosperous. By then, the land price will surely rise, and housing will also be in urgent need. Our Lord Jiang has a good vision and purchased these lands in advance and started to build a new residential area. If you are interested, you can also invest a little. You will definitely make a lot of money by then."
"Buying and selling houses, land annexation?" Chen Xiu already had the answer in his mind.
In his eyes, it was these greedy landlords and corrupt officials who caused such corruption throughout the State of Yan.
Jiang Zuo, as the inspector of Huainan, did not set a good example himself and instead took the lead in committing corruption.
Chen Xiu was extremely dissatisfied with him and wished he could return to the capital right away to tell the emperor everything he had heard today.
As the emperor's confidant, he knew his majesty's character very well. If the emperor knew about these things, wouldn't he kill all nine generations of Jiang Zuo's clan?
Even though you, Jiang Zuo, are a minister that the emperor trusts very much, you should not be so presumptuous.
Chen Xiu suppressed his anger and asked calmly, "I'm new here, I don't know what kind of person your Lord Jiang is?"
Lu San was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said: "Our Lord Jiang is naturally a good man, and a smart man. Since he came, our Jiangzhou City has a new look."
Chen Xiu didn't have a good impression of Jiang Zuo, and thought to himself, "New look, a new look to make money, right?"
He suppressed his dissatisfaction and waited until he met Jiang Zuo before complaining to the emperor.
Anyway, it seems now that Jiangzuo does not look at all like an official appointed by the imperial court should be.
As they were talking, they arrived at an inn.
"My lords, please stay in this inn first."
Lu San said, then walked up to the shopkeeper and whispered a few words to him.
Chen Xiu looked around the inn and found it was quite spacious, so he decided to stay here.
"Dear guests, how many days do you want to stay? How many rooms do you want to book?"
The shopkeeper asked.
Meng Cheng stepped forward and said, "Stay for five days first, five rooms, the best rooms."
The shopkeeper said again: "Okay, okay, fifty-five twenty-five, um... a total of two hundred and fifty taels."
"what?"
Meng Cheng was shocked.
"Two hundred and fifty taels."
The shopkeeper repeated it.
Meng Cheng was immediately displeased: "Why don't you go and rob? It costs ten taels of silver to stay here for one day?"
At this moment, Chen Xiu's brows were even more furrowed.
"Boss, all the inns in Jiangzhou City now basically charge this price."
The shopkeeper explained.
"Master, let's go."
Meng Cheng said.
Could it be that Lu San was so enthusiastic that he actually wanted to take them to a shady shop?
"Hey, Mr. Chen, please stay." Lu San stepped forward and said, "The price of ten taels a day includes many set meals."
Chen Xiu stopped and asked, "What is a set meal?"
Lu San explained: "That is, it includes three meals a day for everyone, and also comes with many novelty products. If you are interested, you can also enjoy special services?"
"Special service?"
Chen Xiu smiled helplessly.
What the hell is this mess.
Lu San came up to Chen Xiu and said, "Whatever service the boss wants, we have it here."
There seemed to be some hints in his words.
"Do you deceive all the guests who come to Jiangzhou City in this way?"
Chen Xiu looked displeased.
Lu San said, "No, how can this be considered a scam? Jiangzhou New District is quite lively now, and prices are rising. Ten taels is already very cheap. If you don't believe me, you can go outside and take a look."
"What do you mean by this?"
Chen Xiu didn't understand.
"Since the Jiang Patrol issued the new order, people from all over the north and south have flocked to Jiangzhou City. Now Jiangzhou City has a shortage of guest rooms. If you think it's too expensive, you can only sleep on the street."
As the Ninth Prince, Chen Xiu would certainly not sleep on the streets.
He is not short of money, he just doesn't want to waste it.
At this time, Meng Cheng had lost his patience and said, "Master, don't waste your time talking to them. Let's go and find a place ourselves."
"Boss, if they don't want it, then give it to us. It's really hard to find an inn in Jiangzhou City."
At this time, someone came forward and said.
Judging from their attire, they seem to be a caravan from other places.
The shopkeeper said, "It's a first come first served basis. Let's see if these bosses have thought it through."
