Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!-Chapter 213: Rumors ( 10 )
Hearing Zhen Fu’s words, Yao Zhi frowned and asked, "You mean the wasteland?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"Although that land is not suitable for farming, it can be used to build a workshop or expand the warehouse."
Yao Zhi thought about her plan for the wasteland. If she successfully planted the wasteland with sweet potatoes or other crops, she would need a place to store them or process them into other products. By then, she would need to buy land and build a workshop.
She considered the pros and cons and decided to buy the warehouse and the land. However, this identity was fake, and she couldn’t use Lei Feng’s name.
After a while, she finally said, "I need to discuss this matter with my family first."
Zhen Fu knew this was not a small amount of money and said, "Of course. Young Master, you can think about it first and inform me whenever you change your mind."
Yao Zhi nodded at him and left the broker’s office. Afterward, she went to an inn and rented a room. She removed her disguise and changed back into her women’s clothes. When she was done, she put on her veiled hat and returned to the broker’s office.
When she arrived at the broker’s office, there was only a young man watching the office. When the young man saw her, he stood up and greeted her with a smile, "Greetings, Young Lady. What can I do for you?"
Yao Zhi nodded at him and said, "Brother, is there any cheap warehouse on the outskirts for sale?"
The young man thought for a moment and replied, "There should be one warehouse, but the location is a little bit far from the town, and the security is not good."
He opened the booklet and showed the warehouse to her. This was the same warehouse Yao Zhi wanted.
She pretended to read the information for a while before she asked, "Brother, how much is the price?"
The young man was more honest than Zhen Fu and replied, "It’s 800 taels of silver. Although the price is high, this warehouse also comes with the surrounding land."
"The land can’t be used for planting crops, but you can use it to build houses or workshops. This plot of land also has a good shape and is easy to build on. The total area is 100 mu."
Yao Zhi calculated for a moment and thought that the price was low. 100 mu was equal to 6.67 hectares, which is a large plot. She could build a large workshop on this land.
Seeing her frowning, the young man thought that she found the price too expensive and persuaded her, "Young Lady, this price is really not high. You don’t need to give us any handling fee since the owner will pay us. So, 800 taels of silver already includes everything."
After hesitating for a while, Yao Zhi finally asked, "Can the document be processed today?"
Finally able to close the deal, the young man was happy. "Of course! As long as you pay in full, I can guarantee you will finish the process in 1 hour."
Yao Zhi smiled at his words and took out a pouch from her sleeve. When the young man opened the pouch, his eyes almost went blind from the silver ingots. There were a total of 80 pieces of 10-tael ingots.
After counting the money, he took the documents and the key. "Young Lady, do you want to join me or wait here?"
Fearing that Zhen Fu would come back and hinder the process, she said, "I will go with you."
Since this deal involved a lot of money, the young man nodded and led her to the Yamen. While she waited there, the young man went to fetch the owner.
With both sides agreeing on the price, the process of transferring the assets was smooth. After the documents were stamped, Yao Zhi handed 1 tael of silver to the Yamen’s clerk and thanked him.
The young man handed the keys to her and said, "Young Lady, from now on, that warehouse and the land around it are yours."
"Young Lady, my family already built a fence surrounding the land. But if you want to use the land, you have to reinforce the fence or build walls to prevent thieves," the owner reminded her.
"Thank you, Sir. I will take note of it," Yao Zhi nodded.
After they parted ways, she returned to the inn and put on her disguise. In the afternoon, she left the inn and went to the escort agency.
Since she planned to use that plot to build a workshop, she had to build a wall and keep outsiders from entering.
Besides Xue Ya’er and the Fei Long escort agency, she didn’t know anyone here. It was impossible to ask the General’s wife to help her using Lei Feng’s identity. So, she could only find Luo Bo and his brother for help.
Perhaps due to the cold weather, the escort agency was deserted, with no one in sight. Yao Zhi walked into the hall and looked around.
"Hello, is anyone here?"
She called out for a while before someone finally came out. The moment Da Zhu saw him, his eyes lit up, and he walked over in large strides. "Young Master Lei, it’s really you!"
Meeting his honest smile, Yao Zhi nodded and asked, "Brother Da Zhu, where is Master Luo?"
"My cousin went out with our brothers on a mission. It has been 10 days. They should arrive tonight."
Hearing this, she nodded and said, "Since that’s the case, then I will come back tomorrow."
Seeing that she was leaving, Da Zhu quickly said, "Young Master Lei, please wait a moment."
Before Yao Zhi could ask what was wrong, he darted to the back room and returned with a wooden box. He handed the box to her and said, "Young Master Lei, these were the glass jars you gave me before. I already used up the cream and paste."
