The heavens start from saving Daming

"150 copper shells is already a lot. The eldest son (son of a doctor) should not make mistakes."

When Li Yunze came to the mansion for sale, he saw someone discussing business in front of the door.

"Too little, please add more."

"It's already quite a lot. You can ask around, but is there anyone out there offering to buy it?"

Li Yunze stepped forward, "Is this Dr. Xiang's house?"

Everyone at the door looked at him. A middle-aged man with a slightly anxious expression looked at Li Yunze and saluted, "I am the doctor's son Yu, may I ask?"

"Kong Qiu, Kong Zhongni."

After hearing Li Yunze's response, everyone's expressions changed.

In recent times, Confucius and Kong Zhongni have become famous.

From a little-known poor man, he rose up all the way to become famous in the city of Qufu.

Some people even call him the leader of the younger generation in Lu State.

"It turned out to be Kong Zhongni in person."

Xiang Yu saluted again and said a few polite words, "I wonder why Zhongni is here?"

"I heard that Doctor Xiang is interested in selling this house." Li Yunze, with a smile on his face, motioned to the house beside him, "I'm here to inquire about the price."

Xiang Yu's father was a native of Xiang. During the period of Lu Zhaogong, he surrendered to Zhaogong and was highly regarded, and was promoted to a doctor along the way.

But now Lu Zhaogong has died, and someone has been replaced in Lu Gong's place.

The emperor and his courtiers were fighting for the throne. When the new Lord Lu and his son Song came to power, they naturally had to use people they trusted, such as old people like Doctor Xiang, and they had to fend for themselves.

Doctor Xiang is planning to return his family to Xiang State. Naturally, the fixed assets in Lu State must be cleared away.

At this time, the tall young man on the side stepped forward dissatisfied and said, "Kong Zhongni, a certain person has already bought this house."

Li Yunze looked at him and said, "You are."

"Wen Mao."

"Oh." Li Yunze nodded suddenly, "I've never heard of it."

"you"

Li Yunze ignored him and looked at Xiang Yu, "Master, have you signed the transfer document?"

"Never." Xiang Yu shook his head repeatedly, "The bid is too low and I don't want to sell."

Doctor Xiang's mansion is naturally not something ordinary people can afford.

But those who can afford it don’t have such a big demand. After all, it’s so popular these days!

Xiang Yu was originally dissatisfied with Wen Mao's bid, but now that someone is competing, he is naturally overjoyed.

"How much is the bid?"

"Only 150 copper shells."

The so-called copper shells are a currency of the State of Lu.

The monetary system in the Spring and Autumn Period was very chaotic and varied from country to country.

The mainstream ones are currency systems such as knife cloth, round money and ant nose money.

However, the State of Lu did not follow the mainstream, and people used shell coins.

The currency of ancient times was seashells.

Of course, by this era, seashells had long lost their monetary value, but this sentiment was still passed down. For example, in the State of Lu, copper coins in the shape of seashells were used, called copper shells.

In fact, shell coins are available in all countries, and they can be regarded as one of the stages in the evolution of currency.

However, among the great countries in the world, only the State of Lu uses shell coins as its main currency.

Copper shells are actually copper coins, just in the shape of shells.

Copper shell is a general term, and there are many different branches within it.

For example, the 150 copper shells that Xiang Yu mentioned at this time were not ordinary copper coins, but more valuable gold-coated copper shells.

The difference between ordinary copper shells and gold-coated copper shells, in modern terms, is the difference between one that costs one yuan and one that costs 100 yuan.

Hearing this price, Li Yunze immediately showed a look of surprise on his face, "Is it so cheap? Do you have any other houses? I want as much as I want."

Xiang Yu smiled bitterly and waved, "Zhong Nimo is joking."

As for Wen Mao over there, his face turned dark.

He was offended, he was clearly making fun of himself.

"Someone will pay three hundred."

Li Yunze raised three fingers towards Xiang Yu, "Three hundred gold and copper shells, how about buying this house?"

Xiang Yu can be left by his father, Doctor Xiang, to deal with fixed assets, so he naturally has a brain.

Hearing Li Yunze's words, he did not respond in a hurry, but looked at Wen Mao aside.

Young Wen Mao was breathing heavily and his eyes were unkind.

The doctor was originally eager to sell it, and there was little demand for the house among those in Qufu who could afford it.

He could have bought it at a low price and transformed it into a school
Who would have thought that someone would pop up halfway and double the price!
But of course you can't be timid at this time, not even for the sake of face.

Wen Mao took a deep breath and said to Xiang Yu, "Someone came out with 310 gold and copper shells."

When Wen Mao said this price, his heart ached. This was most of his wealth.

However, before he could take a breath, Li Yunze already casually said, "A certain offer is five hundred."

Wen Mao'(艹盘艹)'

All my net worth is this price, how can I use it to buy a house?
Do you still want to eat, do you still want to live your life?
He wanted to give up, but seeing Li Yunze's proud look, he felt unhappy. "A certain person produced 510 gold-covered copper shells." For some reason, when he heard Kong Zhongni's name, he wanted to punch him and hit him in the face. Why are the flowers so red!

I hate this name so much!
Xiang Yu was no longer as angry as when he heard Wen Mao's quotation of 150 copper shells. He looked at Li Yunze with a smile.

Li Yunze did not disappoint him, and said lightly, "Eight hundred, I will give you eight hundred packages of gold and copper shells."

After he finished speaking, he looked sideways at Wen Mao and said, "Some people obviously don't have that much wealth, but they still try to make themselves fat. It's really ridiculous."

Wen Mao originally wanted to give up, because he really couldn't come up with eight hundred bags of gold and copper shells, which was far beyond his financial scope.

But when he heard this, especially when it was said by Kong Laoer, for some reason, the anger in his heart couldn't be suppressed no matter what.

He sneered, "Someone produced 810 gold-covered copper shells!"

After finishing speaking, he also looked at Li Yunze sideways.

What Wen Mao was thinking was, 'Aren't you rich?Come on, ask for a higher price, and see if I don’t push you to death! '

Then, he saw Li Yunze raising his hands and applauding, and said with a smile on his face, "You are indeed a rich man. You can buy a house with eight hundred gold-covered copper shells. I admire you. This house belongs to you."

Xiang Yu'()'

Wen Mao'(⊙﹏⊙)'

Xiang Yu felt that although it was a bit regretful that he could not hear the higher competition, the price was already acceptable.

As for Wen Mao, it was simply a critical damage, which was unacceptable.

Eight hundred gold-covered copper shells, no matter how much you chop them up and put them on the scale, you can't sell them for such a sky-high price.

Looking at the hateful smile on Li Yunze's face, Wen Mao, who was struck by lightning, suddenly understood that this bastard was trying to trick him!

"congratulations."

Li Yunze bowed his hands to Wen Mao, who was stunned, and said, "Congratulations, sir, on acquiring this magnificent house."

Then he raised his hand to Xiang Yu and said, "Congratulations, sir, the price is definitely right."

Could it be inappropriate? It’s even higher than when Dr. Xiang bought it.

This really lives up to his father's trust, and he will have more funds for activities when he returns to Xiangguo.

As for Wen Mao, he stayed where he was, with trembling lips unable to speak.

He finally understood why he felt disgusted when he heard Kong Laoer's name.

This bastard is here to trick him!

"Mr. Wen." Li Yunze said with a smile, "A gentleman, since we have agreed on the price, let's pay for it."

No one wants to be a lazy person these days, otherwise they will be nailed to the pillar of shame.

In fact, face is more important than money and life.

If you negotiate a price but can't pay for it, should you continue to be a human being?

Still want to open a school to teach and educate people?

Not to mention everyone pointing fingers and saying that he is a dishonest and unjust person, this school can be destroyed by others.

Wen Mao, who looked pale and staggered, turned to Xiang Yu with some difficulty and said, "So, there is some trouble here, please allow me some time to raise money."

Before Xiang Yu could speak, Li Yunze said directly, "Sir, what you said is wrong. The eldest son is in a hurry to return to Xiangguo. Where can I wait for you to raise money?"

Immediately, Li Yunze looked at him slightly puzzled and said, "Sir, can't you afford it?"

Soul light! !
You are obviously trying to trick me, why are you pretending to be a good person here?
Wen Mao was trembling with anger, but he didn't know what to say.

He can't say that he can't afford the money. Everyone should just treat what he said before as a fart and forget about it.

He Wen Mao wants to be an educator. If his reputation is ruined, he will not be able to survive!
In this era, fame means everything.

If you become famous, kings and nobles from all over the world will chase you, begging you to serve as officials and slaughter, and they will want to stuff their glory and wealth into your arms.

But if your reputation is ruined.
Just when Wen Mao's scalp was numb, Li Yunze suddenly changed the topic and said, "By coincidence, I brought eight hundred bags of gold and copper shells today. If it is not convenient for you, sir, to have money on hand, how about I lend it to you first?" "

Wen Mao'(ー`′ー)'

My first reaction when I heard this was that there must be a conspiracy!
But the real difficulty lies here, and Xiang Yu is still waiting eagerly over there.

He looked at Li Yunze suspiciously for a while, then nodded.

There was no way, no matter what conspiracy Li Yunze had, he had to get over the current hurdle first.

Li Yunze was naturally generous. After paying Xiang Yu [-] gold and copper shells, he happily said goodbye to the two of them. He also warmly invited them to visit Xiangguo when they were free. He would definitely do his best to fulfill his duties as a landlord. Friendship brings good hospitality.

After Xiang Yu got on the carriage, surrounded by servants and retainers, he left the mansion and drove toward the city gate. Then Li Yunze walked towards Wen Mao with a smile on his face. "Sir, are you a gentleman?"

Wen Mao looked wary and asked cautiously, "How are you doing?"

"It's nothing. Since sir is a gentleman, he will not default on his debt."

"This is natural." Wen Mao immediately responded, "Don't worry, the money will be returned to you."

"Don't worry."

Li Yunze simply shook his head, "This is eight hundred packages of gold and copper shells. If sir, you pay it back in 80 years, I won't be able to wait."

Wen Mao frowned and asked bluntly, "What do you want, just tell me."

"Simple."

Li Yunze turned to look at the house on the side and said calmly, "This house is used as a mortgage. This house belongs to me until my husband pays off the debt."

"A certain person is going to open a school here and is short of helpers. My husband is also coming here to be an assistant to a certain person. He will give you a salary of eight gold-coated copper shells a month. After a few years of work, you can pay off the debt."

The reason why I was busy today was to set a trap for Wen Mao. The ultimate goal was to make him his little brother.

Rather than killing him directly, using him is a better choice.
