Chapter 461 Big Buddha Temple Project for Lease
Chapter 461 Big Buddha Temple Project for Lease
By the beginning of July, the work of transplanting flowers and trees at the Big Buddha Temple was completed, and all of them survived. There is a different view at every step, and as soon as you walk in, it feels like you have entered a sea of flowers.
The breeze blows, the flowers are fragrant, the birds are singing, it is a beautiful sight.
All the flowers in Shen Ruyi's space that can be raised outside were planted. Of course, the flowers and plants of this era were not left out, and they were combined together.
The main building complex of the center has a total of 108 courtyards, 36 of which are used for quiet meditation and 72 for pure enjoyment, which is inspired by "36 caves in heaven and 72 blessed places".
Seventy-two courtyards of slightly lower grade were also built around the area. This was after Shen Ruyi repeatedly added funds and discussed the expansion of the courtyards based on the actual terrain and construction conditions, for fear that the ones built before would not be large enough to accommodate them.
As soon as the project was completed, we notified the government and the Big Buddha Temple and started discussing the price for renting it out.
Of course, Shen Ruyi invited the official to choose a courtyard for her so that she could relax occasionally.
The emperor was also very curious about what this courtyard complex that cost more than one million taels of silver looked like, so he even went out of the palace in private clothes.
As a result, I felt unbalanced after seeing it. It was even more exquisitely built than the imperial palace, and more functional. There was everything without leaving the yard. It was very convenient. You can even use the toilet indoors, and the most important thing is that it can be flushed clean without leaving any odor.
As an official, he is still using a toilet. Who can he go to for justice?
Especially the scenery outside is amazing. I used to think the Imperial Garden was very nice, but now compared with here, it is like the small one compared to the big one, and it has been reduced to a small vegetable garden.
Even the grass on both sides of the path looks more vigorous than the carefully cared-for flowers in the Imperial Garden. Not only is the area smaller, but the varieties are not as many as here, and they don't look as beautiful as here.
The rockery, pavilions, viewing platforms, and winding paths are all designed to be very interesting and full of wildness. It was one thing to look at the blueprints before, and it is another thing to see the real buildings now.
There are also several lotus ponds covering dozens of acres, with lotus flowers in bloom, pink and white, set off by large green leaves, making them even more untainted by the mud.
From time to time, fish jump out of the water to play with the lotus petals.
This scenery is so beautiful, it is really enjoyable. The more the official looked at it, the more he was attracted to it. Finally, he thought that he could get a lot of money here, and then he suppressed the imbalance in his heart.
Pretty is good, beautiful is good, the more pretty, the more beautiful, the higher the price! At this moment, only a high rent can soothe the imbalance in his heart.
In the center of all the buildings, a super large stage was built. In front of the stage was a five-acre square paved entirely with stone bricks.
"Why are there so many people coming to watch the show?" asked the official.
"Your Majesty, you can preach here and listen to operas here on a daily basis. But if there is a situation like an earth dragon turning over, everyone can gather here for shelter. Of course, we hope that we will never need to use it, but this is for emergency use."
Finally, the emperor picked a courtyard for himself after looking around, and then the young prince picked one for himself. Naturally, the Big Buddha Temple also picked one for themselves among the thirty-six courtyards.
After they finished choosing, Shen Ruyi directly asked her grandparents, Mr. Wang, and Yiren Changle Agate to come over and reserved one for her family.
According to the original promise, Mr. Li was allowed to choose a house for his own residence.
Finally, after discussion, everyone decided that it would be better to let everyone bid rather than set the price themselves, so they would put ten yards up for rent directly through auction.
The lease term is one year, and the starting price for the annual rent is 8888 taels of silver.
Shen Ruyi said: "Let those who are interested sign up first. The registration fee is 1000 taels of silver, which is non-refundable. It is equivalent to a disguised capital verification, and those who have no money to play will be eliminated first.
Anyone who has paid and registered can go in to visit the courtyard in batches. They have to know what the courtyard they are rushing to rent looks like.
They have to feel that the item is worth the money, that it is scarce, and that they will be sad and embarrassed if they can’t get it. Only then will they be willing to buy it at any cost.”
"Little Heitan, is the price of 8888 too low?" asked the young prince.
"The starting price is not the final price, so why rush? In the middle of the auction, if you feel that everyone's bids are too low, you can arrange a few people to raise the price, and the price will naturally go up."
"You're still taller."
“Isn’t this a normal business practice?”
The official didn't say anything, just listened to the discussion between the two people in front of him. Anyway, when it comes to making money, Xiao Heitan's brain has never been wrong, and she will definitely not do a business that loses money.
The official was already thinking about how much silver he would get in the first year.
The commercial street arranged in the shape of the Bagua of the Big Buddha Temple was built a long time ago, but it has been kept on hold and not rented out until now. In order to maintain its mystery, the observation decks have never been open to the public.
Ordinary people want to see what is inside, so they can only climb up to the Big Buddha Temple and stand on a high place to see some scenery. As a result, the incense at the Big Buddha Temple has been particularly strong in recent months.
Because the flowers are so gorgeous, people can often only see the colorful sea of flowers and cannot see the courtyards inside at all, which makes these courtyards seem even more mysterious.
Then the auction was held in full swing in Meiyuan.
After the news was released, many people signed up. Some were interested in renting a house, but more were just there to join in the fun and spend money to see what it was like inside.
There are also some people who signed up simply because they believed that anything the young prince could produce would be good.
On the first day, 252 people signed up, and the revenue alone was 25 taels of silver.
The young prince directly arranged everyone to go on a half-day tour in batches.
As a result, no one said a word during the tour. When others asked what it was like inside, they didn’t say a word.
He said, "Not very good, I spent so much money, I almost regretted it, what the hell, such an expensive registration fee, too much of a rip-off, not worth it, not worth it, brother, if you believe me, don't go, it's not worth the money at all."
As a result, I turned around and immediately notified my relatives who were close to my family to sign up quickly, because if they went too late they would miss the trip.
There are many people who do this. As if they had discussed it beforehand, they all agreed on the same thing. No matter who asked, they said it was bad and not worth it. But they signed up faster than anyone else.
After hearing this, some people felt fooled, some wanted to see it for themselves to give up, and some were just ignorant people who refused to believe it.
The people who participated in the half-day tour came out and cursed like crazy, but it did not affect the number of people who signed up for the second day. Instead, the number increased and reached more than 390 people.
The young prince was so tired of collecting money that he arranged for people to go on a half-day tour again.
