Chapter 121 The land is sold out!
"This...where did this come from, Prime Minister?"
Chen Chong also looked puzzled.
"This was found in your West Market."
“These are available in all four markets.”
There was some anger on Xiao Changyun's face. He was not only angry at Chen Chong, but also at himself.
I originally thought that there would be nothing to do in the suburbs of Beijing, so I didn't take Lin Yi seriously.
Now Lin Yi has come up with so many strange and bizarre products.
"What else?"
Chen Chong was a little panicked and spoke in a low voice.
"There are other bicycles... milk tea ones, go and see for yourself!"
At this moment, Xiao Changyun directed all his anger towards the hungry Chen Chong.
"Yes, I'll go right away..."
"Wait, how much did you spend at Lin Yi's bar?"
Chen Chong was so busy being directed by Lin Yi that he hadn't paid any attention to Xishi during this period. Just as he was about to go there, he was stopped by Xiao Changyun.
"Three thousand taels."
Hearing this number, Xiao Changyun became even angrier.
"Three thousand taels? Three thousand taels for that crappy bar?"
He spoke angrily, but this was what he had asked him to do...
"Okay, three thousand taels is three thousand taels. Go find a way to find the source of these goods and stop them from selling them."
Xiao Changyun waved his hand slightly as he spoke, "Tell the three markets in the east, south and north not to sell these either."
He always has a way. He thinks that even if Lin Yi has goods, he can't sell them. He will still lose money if the goods are stuck in his hands!
At this time, Lin Yi had completed the formalities, received three thousand taels of silver and slipped away.
Walking out of the east side of the capital and arriving at the post station ten miles away, the scene was indeed completely different.
Although the road has not been repaired yet, the original post station has been expanded into a complex building.
In addition to the dining hall and stables in the front, a bathhouse and a place selling various novelty goods were expanded in the back. With the increase in rooms, it has become a nice miniature "entertainment city".
Opposite the post station is a complex of buildings surrounded by concrete walls.
The door was closed tightly and it was almost impossible to see what was going on inside.
However, in Lin Yi's plan, this workshop is divided into three parts.
One section is food and beverages, where alcohol, instant noodles and some by-products come from.
One is the entertainment category, where playing cards and various chess and card games come from.
The last is the part-time blacksmith shop.
Used to make bicycles and some production tools.
"Boss Lin, I've already done what you asked. Although there are still some things left to build, it's basically operating stably now."
When Xu Chuan learned that Lin Yi was coming, he left and took Yang Jian and Huang Chang out to greet him.
There are already many people going back and forth on this road.
Many people coming out of the capital were not going far away, they just walked or took a carriage for ten miles to have fun.
The post station is close to the "source of goods", so he doesn't have to worry about not being able to sell his goods!
As Lin Yi inspected, he found that the inn was crowded with people, some drinking and eating, some playing chess and cards, and the rooms upstairs were also filled with people having fun.
The bathing area is accessible through a corridor at the back. The entire complex has been transformed into a huge courtyard, and there are even some people reciting poems in the yard in the middle of the corridor.
Across the corridor is a bathhouse that is larger than the one in Liangzhou City. Although there are fewer women, Xu Chuan still separated the bathing pools for men and women.
Although the pools inside are smaller in scale, there are several more in number.
After a round of inspection, Lin Yi felt that Xu Chuan had completed his arrangements.
"It hasn't even been a month, but the post station's daily turnover is already over 1,500 taels."
Xu Chuan said, "I have also arranged for more people to clean and tidy up, and the cook was also invited from a nearby town."
Overall, Xu Chuan has done a good job in management.
Then he went to the workshop to inspect.
Just as Lin Yi arranged, in addition to the assembly line, the areas were also clearly divided, and even basic facilities such as a canteen were arranged.
They earn more, so they hire more people. Therefore, each worker needs to work less hours.
Each section has a supervisor who is responsible for statistics and reporting.
"That's right, let's make some money this way first."
After all, the construction of this place was paid for by Lin Yi himself.
In order to rush the project, a lot of money will naturally be spent.
After selling his house, Lin Yi didn't have much money left.
"Boss Lin, since this place is already operating on a large scale, can we bring in cycling races and football matches?"
Walking out of the workshop, Xu Chuan was about to ask when he saw a group of soldiers coming.
"Who gave you permission to open a shop here?"
There were a few ferocious-looking soldiers and officers, and a few people who looked like officials were pointing and talking here.
"This is a post station, naturally it is allowed by His Majesty."
Lin Yi spoke very calmly. He knew that the "decisive and swift" Xiao Changyun would definitely send people to cause trouble if he found out that he had been tricked.
But he was also prepared, as everything here was centered around the post station.
Post stations are a necessity stipulated by Dayong and are responsible for entertaining passing guests.
“Is this also a post station?”
An official pointed to Lin Yi's workshop.
"The inn needs to produce materials before cooking. I just separated the kitchen and some entertainment tools."
"Any questions?"
Lin Yi asked, "Or you can ask His Majesty to judge the matter."
The officers and soldiers were not clear about it, but the officials sent by Xiao Changyun knew it all: Huangfu Qingling was behind Lin Yi.
If there is not overwhelming and absolute evidence, Lin Yi cannot be arrested.
"We're going to search."
Having said that, Lin Yi asked Xu Chuan to open the door for the officers and soldiers to go in and search.
Even though the officers and soldiers knew that Lin Yi was making instant noodles and bicycles here, they could do nothing about it.
Because, in name, this is part of the post station.
The post station needs to serve various guests and also produce some things.
"Would you like to search the post station across the street?"
Lin Yi asked with a smile.
Then, these officers and soldiers experienced an "inn" that they had never experienced before.
After taking a bath, they were all very satisfied.
In this case, it is naturally impossible to find some false charges!
"Xiao Changyun might come and cause trouble again in the future. This place will always be called the post station, so don't reveal your true identity."
Watching these officials and soldiers leave, Lin Yi slowly spoke.
……
"Did he really say that?"
After learning the whole story, Xiao Changyun's face was a little angry, but he had nowhere to vent this helpless anger.
"Go call Chen Chong!"
He ordered immediately.
Then Chen Chong came hurriedly.
He had just issued a ban to his merchants, prohibiting the sale of instant noodles, bicycles, milk tea and other items.
"What are Prime Minister Xiao's instructions?"
"You should go and steal Lin Yi's skills now. Whatever he does, you should copy him in the west of the capital!"
Xiao Changyun was furious and thought of a clever idea.
"But...but all the land around the capital has been bought!"
Chen Chong looked bewildered. "When Lin Yi bought it before... Prime Minister, you all knew about it..."
