This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

It was early September in the 13th year of Zhenguan.

On this day, Fang Yiai, Cheng Chuliang, Li Jingren... these former Chang'an young masters finally walked the streets of Chang'an again.

They had changed out of the military uniforms they had worn for several years, and each of them looked like a playboy.

"Not to mention, after so many years since leaving Chang'an, Chang'an has changed a lot." Li Jingren sighed with emotion while walking on the street.

"It's been seven or eight years, is it normal for things to change?" Fang Yiai disagreed and said with a smile, "Do you want to think about Riyue Mountain again? The changes are even greater."

People like him will not be sad for the spring and autumn. No matter what age, a heartless guy will live a more free and easy life than others.

"Okay, you two, stop bickering. You work all day long. Have you forgotten what happened today?" Cheng Chuliang was speechless.

These two guys may have been idle recently because they no longer have any training tasks.

Shrugging, Li Jingren looked at the boy behind him who was arranged by Wang Dequan, and asked, "By the way, your shopkeeper has already made an appointment with the Feng family in Dongcheng, right?"

"When the little boy came out, the Feng family had already arrived at the restaurant." The boy immediately smiled.

"Then let's go to Feng's grocery store first."

After that, the group of people walked towards Feng's grocery store.

Along the way, several people couldn't help but comment on the streets of Chang'an, just like the scene of grassroots inspections in later generations.

Not long after, when everyone stood in front of Feng's Grocery Store, everyone was stunned for a moment.

They could guess that Feng's Grocery Store must have declined, but they never expected that it would decline to this extent!
Except for an old woman sitting behind the counter, there was not a soul in the approximately [-]-square-meter shop.

For a moment, everyone almost lost the idea of ​​going in and taking a look.

This is Dongshi!

It stands to reason that in a place where dignitaries and nobles live, opening such a grocery store in such a place where every inch of land is so valuable will not be empty, right?
But that's what it is.

"Go in and take a look first." Seeing this, Cheng Chuliang was the first to walk in.

As soon as she saw the customers coming into the store, the old woman immediately smiled and said, "What do you young gentlemen want to buy?"

From the clothes of Cheng Chuliang and others, she could tell that these people were either rich or noble, and she did not dare to neglect them.

"Just take a look." Cheng Chuliang said, and really looked around in the shop. When he saw that the grocery store sold some commonly used items at home, but they had been kept for a longer time, he said curiously, " Auntie, I see that your store sells items that are commonly used at home, but why are they all old items?

A lot of things, they all look old, right? "

Compared to Fang Yiai and the others, Cheng Chuliang seemed much more sophisticated. A few words made the old woman feel sad, and she sighed, and then said: "I don't want to hide it from you, sir, our shop is really not doing well in business. Even though it is in Dongshi, it is still the most embarrassing part of Dongshi, in a corner, and only some merchants and officials in Beijing live nearby.

In addition, in recent years, Daming has come up with a lot of new gadgets. Someone opened a grocery store at the end of the East Market. The strange gadgets that Daming came up with really attracted a lot of people.

There is no way, those other people's things are huge profits, and the things we sell are just an add-on to others. If it weren't for our own shop, we would not be able to open it long ago.

Speaking of which, we also caused disaster to Ming Dynasty...

Tell me, why does a person like His Highness compete for business with ordinary people like us? "

After the old woman finished speaking, her face was extremely helpless.

She can't figure it out.

When Cheng Chuliang and others heard this, they were stunned.

Good guy, why does this involve Daming?

The boy immediately planned to stand up and scold him. After all, defending the Ming Dynasty has long been engraved in the bones of these people. However, Cheng Chuliang stopped him with a look. He also smiled and said: "How could that person You won’t care about this little profit, don’t worry, everything will be fine.”

He actually saw that this was definitely Wang Dequan's intention.

Don't forget, Wang Dequan was not only the Ming Dynasty's envoy to Chang'an, but also the shopkeeper of Changming's store. He could bring this grocery store back to life with just a few words.

But he doesn't think Wang Dequan's approach is despicable. He's not one of his own, so why should he help you?
After chatting for a few words, Cheng Chuliang bought some things symbolically, and everyone left the grocery store.

"Fang Lao Er, how big is the grocery store you mentioned?" Cheng Chuliang asked immediately.

He no longer doubts that Wang Dequan can convince the Feng family. There is nothing to doubt. Today's Feng family is exactly the same as Wang Dequan in the past, both at the end of their rope.

The next thing they have to do is buy the surrounding properties and prepare for the grocery store.

"Then I don't know." Fang Yiai shook his head and said, "You know, I have been aiming at the military in my life, and I really don't care much about these things.

But look at His Highness’s drawing, it’s very big. "

"That's nonsense." Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but shook his head when he heard this.

This guy is really reliable on the battlefield, but in other aspects, forget it.

"Why do you care so much? It's not like we don't have money!" Li Jingren said with a smile. As he said that, he looked at the servants behind him and said with a smile, "Well, you go to the surrounding areas and go to the door-to-door notice, just say I, Li Jingren, want all the houses in this area!"

"If you don't pretend, you will die..." Fang Yiai said angrily, "Look at this house, Cui Mansion. Even if you are not a direct descendant of the Cui family, if you dare to do this, he will not sell it even if he is nailed here. Here you go, use your brain!"

By coincidence, the Cui Mansion is right next door to Feng's Grocery Store. Of course, since he lives here, he must not be a direct descendant of the Cui family.

Li Jingren didn't pay attention just now, but when he heard this, he shrugged and said with a smile: "I didn't pay attention."

"Let's start with the Cui family." Cheng Chuliang said with a smile, "If we take down this family first, the rest will be easy to deal with."

He finally understood why Wang Dequan wanted them to come. Indeed, sometimes they really had to use their power to suppress others.

When the boy heard this, he immediately went to knock on the door. With these big Buddhas standing behind him, what should he be afraid of?
"Who are these?" As soon as the doorkeeper of Cui Mansion opened the door, he saw several noble gentlemen outside the door, and he did not dare to be careless at the moment.

The young man said directly: "My young master has taken a liking to your house. Let your master come out and talk about it."

Logically speaking, what he said was indeed unreasonable, but seeing the other party's attitude, he had no choice but to say: "I'm sorry, my master has no idea of ​​selling the house.

Moreover, my master is still on duty in the Ministry of Punishment at the moment, and he may not be able to come back for a while. "

Although he is just a concierge, he still speaks very well.

Firstly, he revealed his attitude, and secondly, he also revealed his identity.

But it was okay that he didn't say anything. After hearing what he said, Li Jingren immediately became interested and said with a smile, "Your master is on duty in the Ministry of Punishment?"

"Reply to this young master." The porter immediately bowed and said, "Cui Zan, the head of the criminal department of the family."

This is self-reporting.

"Cui Zan?" Li Jingren thought for a while and said, "Never heard of it."

Just when the concierge was slightly resentful, Li Jingren continued: "My father, King Jiangxia, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and your master can be considered colleagues. Can we come in and talk now?"

As early as a few years ago, Li Daozong changed his title to King of Jiangxia.

When the concierge heard this, he was stunned. He knew that these people were definitely not simple, but he didn't expect their background to be so big.
At that moment, he also opened the door and said with a smile: "Please come in, I'll have someone notify the head of the house."

Are you kidding me? The son of my family's immediate boss dares to keep people out?
When Li Jingren saw this, he smiled proudly at Fang Yiai and others, and then walked into Cui's house swaggeringly.

After the concierge informed the old housekeeper of Li Jingren's identity, the old housekeeper very attentively arranged for tea and snacks to be prepared for them.

He had actually guessed Li Jingren's identity. King Jiangxia had two sons. He had naturally seen the young prince, not the young prince. Wasn't this person's identity ready to be revealed?
Now that we know this person's identity, are the identities of the people around him still a secret?

Especially the general layout of Fang Yiai, he knew it clearly once he sat there. As for the other people, he roughly had the answer in his mind.

"My young prince, young gentlemen, wait a moment, the master of the house will be back soon." The old housekeeper bowed and smiled.

Cheng Chuliang was not surprised that this person could see through the identities of the others. After all, there were not many losers who could work as housekeepers in wealthy families.

"There's no rush, we'll just wait."

In fact, they didn't have to wait too long, Cui Zan hurried back.

If an ordinary person wants to buy his house, then he will definitely not be happy. He lives well, and if you just buy it, isn't this bullying others?

But if someone from the Wang family in Jiangxia wants to buy it, he really has to think twice.

Although he was born into the Cui family, he is not very afraid of King Jiangxia, but the county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now. King Jiangxia is his immediate boss.

If he offends this person, will he still have a good life in the Ministry of Punishment from now on?
"The visit of the young prince and all the young princes really makes the humble house shine." As soon as he came in, Cui Zan said with a smile on his face.

On the way back, he also guessed the identities of several people. The news that the second generation ancestors returned to Chang'an was no secret.

Don't talk about him, half of the people in Chang'an City now know.

Li Jingren was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and said bluntly: "Master Cui, right? Let's make it clear that people don't tell secrets. I have taken a liking to your house."

What a dandy face!
However, Cui Zan was not surprised by this. When these guys were in Chang'an, they were a bunch of dudes. They were so overbearing and unreasonable. What's so surprising?
"The young prince is joking. I only have a house like this in the capital. How about the young prince give me some time to look for it..." "No need." Li Jingren waved his hand and said, "Since Mr. Cui has something for sale. Thinking about it, let’s live in a restaurant before we find a new house.”

Cui Zan was stunned. Did I agree?

The point is, you want me to move out without even negotiating the price?
Even if your father is the king of Jiangxia, he can't be so arrogant and robbed!

"By the way, how much did Master Cui spend on buying this house?" Just when Cui Zan was confused, Li Jingren suddenly asked.

"More than six hundred strings." Cui Zan replied subconsciously.

"Only six hundred dollars?" Li Jingren said pretending to be surprised, "Well, I just heard from the housekeeper that Master Cui has lived here for several years. The price of the house must have increased over the years, and I can't take advantage of you. Double it, 1000 or two hundred strings, what do you think of Master Cui?"

When Cui Zan heard this, he really didn't expect that this guy not only gave him money, but also made him a small profit. The house has indeed increased in money over the years, but it is only about a thousand dollars. It depends on luck. Li Jingren gave him 1000 and [-] yuan, which was no longer an advantage for him.

While Cui Zan was stunned, Li Jingren added: "But I have to be urgent. Manager Cui and others have to move out today and find a new house. They will also have to spend money to live in a restaurant. In this way, Tianzuo on Eryi Five, fifteen hundred guan together, what do you think of Master Cui?"

His coquettish maneuvers made Cui Zan and his housekeeper not sure how to respond.

Is there any reverse bargaining?
But that's all Li Jingren said. If he continues to be pretentious, it won't be because others are bullying others, but because he is ignorant.

"That's just like what the young prince said." In a daze, Cui Zan couldn't figure out why he sold his house so quickly.
The moment he signed the contract, he felt a little confused.

Of course he didn't know that this was Li Jingren's words. He didn't give him the right to choose throughout the whole process, and even exceeded his psychological expectations several times.

For Li Jingren and the others, it doesn't matter how much they spend. What's important is that the Cui family really reacts, and it's very easy to stumble them.

As for letting Cui Zan make some money, haha, it's just a small amount.

Besides, Wang Dequan might have earned all this money from the scholar family.

"Little prince, is the price too expensive?" While the housekeeper was packing things, Cui Zan was still confused because of the price.

But Li Jingren said with disgust: "Is one thousand five hundred dollars expensive? You are still racking your brains for these one thousand and eight hundred dollars. When you have time, go to my Ming Dynasty and see. What kind of business in my Ming Dynasty does not have profits in the tens of thousands?" Comprehensive calculation?

Even if you have a thousand children and eight hundred people, you won’t be embarrassed if you tell them?

By the way, Fang Laoer and the others also want to buy a house. It's a rare trip back, and they don't even have a place to stay in Chang'an.

See if there are any nearby. If so, you can introduce them to them.

Don't worry, these guys, who have been fighting in the Ming Dynasty for many years, lack everything except fucking money! "

"Yes, yes, it's around here." Fang Yiai also smiled and said, "Find me a house bigger than this one. Money is not an issue. I'll outdo him in Ming Dynasty. When I return to Chang'an, I can still let him pay for it." Bullied?

It’s not like I can’t get out Wan’er’s eight thousand guan? "

When Cui Zan heard this, everyone was dumbfounded. Did these guys really make a fortune in the Ming Dynasty?
Those with thousands of children and eight hundred are not looked down upon, and now those with ten thousand children and eight thousand are not a big deal. The key is how many years have it been?Seeing them like this, he was a little tempted.

"If you two live together, we will definitely fight." Cheng Chuliang said with a smile, "Well, I'll forget about it. I think the Feng's grocery store next door is a good house, so I asked someone to ask about it."

"Then I will go and inquire for you young gentlemen." Cui Zan saw that these guys were really willing to spend money and were not taking anything by force, so he actually sent someone out to ask.

With him as a landowner helping to set up the matchmaking, Fang Yiai's terrifying background, and his wealth and confidence, within a short time, with Feng's Grocery Store as the center, all the houses on the left and right fell into their hands, and even , they didn’t even let go of the house opposite Feng’s Grocery Store.

At this time, Cui Zan finally realized something was wrong.

Are you guys buying in a circle together?
But at this point, he seemed unable to do anything.

……

On the other side, Pulebobo was even more domineering, unlike Fang Yiai and the others. He went from house to house and asked if the workshop could be sold.
If it doesn't sell, he will find another one. If it sells, he will ask the other party to set a price, and then ask Huang Song and others to help estimate it. As long as it is not excessive and the price is not paid back, the contract will be concluded on the spot.

That speed, how can it be called fast?
In the end, it was found that this was too slow. Pulebobo simply asked Huang Song and others to post a notice outside Changming Restaurant. Those who planned to sell to outsiders should sign up first, and we would discuss it at Changming Restaurant three days later.

In the past three days, he asked Huang Song and others to value the workshops that were intended to be sold.

For a time, the entire Chang'an City was shocked.

It goes without saying who Plebobo represents.

And because of Pulebobo's notice, the merchants in Chang'an City really couldn't sit still.

They didn't know what Daming was planning to do, but since it was related to business, it must have something to do with them.

And it’s not like they haven’t experienced how terrifying Ming commerce is.

But when it comes to the most angry ones, it is really not these merchants, but Duan Lun and Yan Lide.

As soon as they heard that the Ming Dynasty mission had begun to acquire workshops on a large scale, they realized the seriousness of the problem.

Without him, the craftsmen who came with the Ming Dynasty's mission would probably be useful.

Thinking of this, I have to give a friendly greeting to Zheng Xu and others' genealogy.

That night, the young princes and young princes of the famous Xungui family in Chang'an City came forward to invite the second-generation ancestors from Chang'an, such as Changsun Chong and Fang Yiai, to a private room on the second floor of Changming Restaurant. "Bang" drinking and banquet.

Xue Wanche, the general of Youwuwei, invited the generals of the Changming Army headed by Xue Rengui and the officials of his mission to have a drinking and fighting game next door to "Strong Generals, Defending the Country with Courage".

Everyone knows its purpose, which is just to find out the details of the Ming Dynasty mission.

After all, what happened to the Ming Dynasty mission today really surprised many people.

They also wanted to know what the Ming mission meant.

In the elegant room, Fang Yiai felt uncomfortable all over and looked out the door from time to time. When Xiao Rui saw this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "If Li Jingren and Cheng Chuliang... were so restless, I wouldn't say anything. , after all, I am a military general, so there is nothing to say, but your Aye is obviously the first civil servant in the Tang Dynasty, what do you mean by being like this?"

"You know nothing." Fang Yiai said angrily, "I am determined to make a name for myself as a military general. If I hadn't invited you all together, I wouldn't have been willing to come."

Just as he was saying this, he heard the sound of shouting and drinking from the next door, which made Fang Yi's heart itch, "Listen, that's what a man should do, sit with you young masters." When we are together, I can’t let go even if I drink.”

"Hahaha..." It was rare that Li Jingren did not argue with Fang Yiai, and he laughed when he heard this, "Fang Laoer is really right about what he said. We are just a group of rough people, sitting here with you in a formal manner, and still... It’s really a bit like sitting on pins and needles.”

"In that case, the Minister Wang and the others over there may have the same thoughts as you..." Li Jingheng also said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, okay, if you keep going, you won't be able to drink this wine." Fang Yiai waved his hand and said, "I know why you are doing this today, so I will tell you the truth. I, Da Ming, have nothing but damn money. Aren’t those guys from the Zheng family leaving us alone?
I have too much money to spend, why don't I use money to vent my anger?
Is it worth this for such a trivial matter? "

He really couldn't sit still, he was not a peaceful person, how could he get used to this.

When Changsun Chong and others heard this, they also said with a smile on their faces: "It's very true, they think they can only wait while they leave us alone?

Don’t worry, this time we’ll let them see how much money we can make right away while they’re waiting for us! "

No one here doubted Daming's ability to make money.

And this is also their purpose this time. Hearing this, Xiao Rui smiled and said: "I know your Ming Dynasty's ability to make money. Isn't this my brother? I have been short of money recently..."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood that these guys were not here to inquire about information, but to catch the east wind.

"Is this right here?" Fang Yiai said angrily after hearing this, "You told us if you wanted to make money, and you still do this. In this way, there will be an opportunity to make money right now. It depends on whether you have enough capital. ?”

"How much does it cost?" Xiao Rui asked immediately.

"You should get at least [-] to [-] yuan, right?" Fang Yiai said without thinking.

Thirty to fifty thousand dollars?

Xiao Rui and others were stunned when they heard this.

Seeing their expressions, Fang Yiai said with surprise: "No, don't tell me, you can't even get out thirty to fifty thousand guan? I can tell you, for this business, I spent millions of guan, This is just the beginning! I let you get involved because of our friendship over the years, but if you can't come up with [-] to [-] yuan, I really can't help you.

Too poor, I can’t afford it! "

I'm so stupid...

Li Jingheng and others wanted to scold their mother, "Three to fifty thousand guan, then it's [-], not three or five guan!"
There are very few people in Chang'an who can come up with so much cash!

But the problem is, they don't even have the confidence to defend themselves. Listen to their tone, it's a million dollars!

With such confidence, I really look down on [-] to [-] yuan.

At that moment, Xiao Rui and the others discussed it. After a long time, Xiao Rui finally had the confidence to say: "Well, if we put it together, we should be able to raise it to [-] to [-] yuan..."

They just had an exchange, it's only [-] to [-] yuan, at worst, they have to give up some properties, this face can't be lost!

Didn't you say [-] to [-] yuan? If I take [-] to [-] yuan, how should you respond?
"No, it's only [-] to [-] yuan, so you and your family have to come up with it?" Fang Yiai said with a puzzled look, "I thought your family could come up with [-] to [-] yuan, right here?"

"Shut up!" Fang Yizhi couldn't bear it anymore and gave Fang Yi'ai a cold look.

What the hell are you talking about?
Please give me a guaranteed monthly pass on the [-]st, brothers, come hit me with your monthly pass!
