The houses in the east of the city are expensive but not marketable. Officials who cannot buy them, or those who are short of money, will go to the south of the city next to the east of the city to buy them. The price of houses there is second only to the east of the city. The west of the city has another problem.

Wait, it is the residence of petty officials and officials.

The remaining north part of the city is the area where ordinary people live.

Although the house in the north of the city would be much cheaper, it would be fine if it was bought as a dormitory for employees. However, Zhao Ruxi bought the house as a warehouse and processing place for raw jade stones, so it was not suitable to buy it in the north of the city. Housing prices there are cheap, but there is also a mixed bag.

The safety is definitely not as good as the southeast and west directions where housing prices are higher.

If the two middlemen can get a good name in the yamen and catch Wu Zong's eyes, they will naturally have a house in their hands.

The king in the south of the city smiled and said: "I have a few houses on hand. Miss Zhao can go and have a look whenever she is free."

Yu Zhongren in the west of the city also said: "I am the same. Miss Zhao can take a look."

"Okay." Zhao Ruxi began to have a headache again because of her lack of time.

She thought about the course schedule of the academy tomorrow morning and said: "Let's do it tomorrow morning. I can go to see the house at right time. You two can discuss how to make a more reasonable arrangement. I want to see the house in the south of the city first. Then I will go.

In the west of the city, let’s try to see the house in one morning.”

The two princes looked at each other, and the prince said: "Then I will go to the gate of Suiping Bo's Mansion to wait for Miss Hou at exactly the right time. The rest of the princes have already gone to the big banyan tree at the junction of the south and west of the city. Like us.

If you are delayed, I will send someone there to tell you."

Yu Zhongren had no objection and nodded: "Okay."

After arranging the house, Zhao Ruxi began to make requirements for buyers: "Everyone I want to buy must be under thirty years old and above fourteen years old. If it is a family, the age limit can be relaxed.

.”

The person she buys must be able to do things immediately, and cannot be too young. People who are too old generally have rigid ideas and are slow to learn things. Moreover, the number of years they can work for her is also limited, so she eliminates the older ones.

.

When she hired people, she naturally had to use modern methods to train them. Learning things too slowly would not work.

In modern times, being in your thirties is actually a good time to start a career. You are young and have rich life and work experience, which is what every unit and company likes. But this did not apply in ancient times.

In ancient times, people got married early and became grandparents at the age of thirty-five or six. Perhaps it was a hint of this identity, but she always felt that people who became grandparents had no energy to work hard and began to accept their children and grandchildren like modern retirees.

Provide support and enjoy life. Of course, this may be related to the short life span of ancient people.

She will not want this kind of "elderly" who pursues a comfortable life.

"Among these people, I want ten who are capable and capable of taking care of things, and thirty who are nimble and smart. If you know any shopkeepers with good character and strong abilities, you can also introduce them to me."

Some of the shopkeepers in this era were selected and trained by aristocratic families from among their slaves. There were also some who were from common people, just like modern professional managers, who had brains but no capital, so they could only work as shopkeepers for others.

What she wants is the latter.

Of course, she would also select and train her slaves. Such shopkeepers would be very loyal, would not have any evil intentions, and would not be easily bribed. If you have any secret recipes or other things, you could safely hand them over to them.

But isn’t it too late now? We can only hire two or three shopkeepers first, and then train our own people.

As for the accounting department, she plans to train it herself.

So she made a request: "Those who are literate and can count will be given priority, those who can speak well will be given priority, and those who are smart will be given priority. But what I value most is character. So don't introduce people with bad behavior to me. You can screen them first. If there is a suitable

Yes, I only want more people, not less. And this is not a one-time deal, I will buy more people in the future."

Several middlemen heard that the person who wanted to buy the person was a young lady from the Suiping residence, so they didn't have much expectations for this business.

When young ladies from this kind of aristocratic family buy people, they are just buying a few houses for themselves as dowries, or buying some small farms, houses, and shops, which are not very valuable. They come here because of the face of the Wu Zong of Dali Temple and the government officials.

.

But Zhao Ruxi immediately shocked them by saying that she wanted to buy at least two large houses. Now that they heard that so many people wanted to buy, each one of them was secretly glad that they came on time and did not offend this girl in their attitude.

You must know that families in aristocratic families have children, and it usually takes a long process for a family to become rich. Naturally, they buy people slowly. Buying a dozen or so at a time is already a big business. Even if a family wants to add people, they only buy people.

It's really rare for a six or seven-year-old kid to buy someone like Zhao Ruxi, and buy so much at once.

"That's no problem." Tong Zhongren from the east of the city said, "I have many servants sold by the criminal officials' families. Some of them are literate and can count, and there are not a few who are smart. Miss Zhao can definitely be in my hands.

Select the subordinates you are satisfied with."

Among Chinese people, there is also status.

Tong Zhongren was originally a child of an official family, and his family lived in the east of the city. He liked to make friends by nature. Later, when his family fell into decline and he had no other abilities, he used the resources at his disposal to become a middleman.

He has connections in Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, and he can get some houses from there and servants for sale, so he feels that his status is higher than that of other people.

But Zhao Ruxi planned to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy a house, but he was not included in it, so he felt very depressed. But now he can show off his talents by buying the house.

Among the five people, Zhao Ruxi felt that the one in the east of the city was the most unnecessary. She neither wanted to buy a house in the east of the city, nor did she want to buy servants sold by sinners' families. These people were easy to get involved with other officials.

It involves more trouble.

But I would rather offend a gentleman than a villain.

Although this Tong Zhongren could be introduced by Wu Zong, he was not a villain to a large extent. But Zhao Ruxi still didn't want to offend such a person who was a mixed bag of all religions.

She smiled and said: "Okay, then I will first take a look at Tong Zhongren's servants."

She looked at the others: "I will look at what others have and I will pick them all. Again, if there are good ones, I will buy more."

She thought for a while: "Let's do this. At noon tomorrow, you will bring all the suitable people and I will pick them. In order not to waste everyone's time, let's arrange the time to meet in order. Southeast, northwest, Beining, press this

In order, the time for each middle person is two to three quarters of an hour. The person from Tong has not arrived for the first time, the person from the king has not arrived at two quarters, and so on for the rest."
