0038 Commenced business
Xingtian immediately reminded in Kou Xingtian's mind: "After experiencing so much suffering in the world, he is indeed a rare talent. You can secretly save his life and take it back to you, and he can be in charge of the overall situation. ”
He also didn't see through Kou Xingtian's idea, but a talent like Sima Ru didn't care in person, and he also echoed the decision of Governor Li.
"I still need to say that I have already made up my mind for a long time, and let him polish and reflect on death row for a while, jade is not a weapon, more suffering and introspection are always particularly tempering people, especially knowing that their death is coming, in this sad day, it can promote a person's inner fierce struggle, so as to speed up the growth of the heart," Kou Xingtian nodded in response.
"Lord Li, Li Futai, I still have something to annoy you, I see that the weather in Jiangling City is not bad, and the population is quite prosperous, so I want to buy more property here." ”
"Do you think all parties want to give me accommodation, inform those decent bosses and gentry in this city, and transfer some of the property to me in a wise way?" Kou Xingtian finally got to the point of his own face in the face of Li Futai.
"And the tax on my property, you also want to give me a discount, so it's decided, what do you think?"
"Ah, Master Fu, are you going to buy property in Jiangling City under my rule?" Governor Li was quite surprised, and then looked at Kou Xingtian's gaze with some new changes.
"This is not difficult to do, tomorrow I can invite the merchants and gentry in this city to gather in my mansion on the pretext of inviting tea, and we can slowly negotiate with them during the banquet. ”
"But I also have good news here, that is, Boss Liu, who opened Xunyue Building, has already had the intention to sell the private real estate under his name, as for the price, it can be negotiated, and you will be given a discount appropriately. ”
"The reason is that there are too many industries in the cities of this Boss Liu, and now he is willing to sell them at a discount for cash, in order to exchange for more silver in his hands, so as to prepare for the unexpected needs of the Wumeng people in the future when everyone needs to flee urgently. ”
"Childe, if you are interested, you can discuss with him privately, I will go to him now!"
"Xunyue Building, isn't this a brothel Qinglou?" Kou Xingtian was slightly surprised when he heard this, "Kaiqinglou is generally the most profitable business, how can there be a reason to transfer it, isn't there something strange in it?"
"Childe is an understanding person, do not hide from Childe, this house tells the truth, his rumor of the moon tower is suddenly haunted, several prostitutes have died, and then there is a lot of uproar, and no one dares to patronize it. ”
Governor Li didn't dare to hide Kou Xingtian, the "Fu Gongzi", so he had to tell him the truth: "Gongzi really wants to buy his Xunyue Building, you can greatly kill its price, and buy it at the most affordable price, which is absolutely cost-effective." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's just that Son, I'm tired of traveling today, and I want to find a place to settle down and rest as soon as possible, so Lord Li should arrange for the post house for me and my group to stay for a few days!" Kou Xingtian didn't know what politeness was, and immediately asked Governor Li cheekily.
"That's nature, that's nature!" Governor Li praised the goodness again and again, and he wanted to send this "Fu Gongzi" out of the house like a plague god.
So he immediately arranged for two cronies to serve and led a few of Kou Xingtian to the post house to settle down and rest for a while.
The post house is equivalent to the government guest house, which is used for the official errand, and the natural conditions are very good, which is much better than those first-class inns.
Kou Xingtian's deceitful official son easily stayed in the well-conditioned post house, and the post keeper waited carefully, and his heart was naturally quite satisfied, and he was also very useful.
At the moment, he had a good rest in the post house, and in the evening, he first had dinner in the post house, and then Kou Xingtian and his party began to go out shopping.
The most lively night market here at night is the City God Temple in the east of the city, as well as the area where the green building is located in the west of the city.
Most of the stalls here are small businesses in the night market, which is similar to the modern stall night market, and there are street performers, storytellers, divination and fortune tellers, and pickers selling along the street...... All kinds of things are different, but they are the closest to people's livelihood life.
"You came out so late to hang out, didn't you be bored to join in the fun?" asked the Persian princess Uyakashri casually as she walked through the bustling night market.
"Naturally not, I want to find and buy two loyal subordinates, and tomorrow I will buy a lot of property, and I have to have my cronies to take care of me and do things for me," Kou Xingtian had already made a plan in his heart.
Kou Xingtian and his entourage unknowingly came to the den of human trafficking, and they all inserted grass labels to buy and sell children and girls.
I happened to see a middle-aged man with a tall cow and a big horse dragging two twelve or thirteen-year-old girls left and right, and also inserted grass signs there to clearly mark the price and sell them.
Unlike the black, thin, and extremely malnourished children who are generally sold, the two little loli that this man wants to sell are both very standard, with a ruddy complexion, and plump and well-proportioned muscles and bones.
It's just that the two little Loli are crying, crying red eyes, looking ploughed with rain, although they are wearing a coarse cloth and dirty clothes, it is difficult to hide the original family background as a small family jasper.
"Wu Na Yehan, how can these two girls be sold? This son has taken a fancy to them," Kou Xingtian felt that his eyes lit up, and he immediately moved, so he asked the tall man.
"Ten taels of silver apiece, the prince gives enough silver, and you can take the person away immediately," this big man looked like a scoundrel with cheap bones, and saw that Kou Xingtian and his party were brightly dressed, had an extraordinary bearing, and had a lot of money, and immediately flattered and replied.
"Ten taels of silver......
Kou Xingtian was just about to open his mouth to answer, but the scoundrel hurriedly repented and said: "If the prince earns ten taels of silver, one is too expensive, and the two fifteen taels of silver, fifteen taels of silver are traded at a loss, and they can't be less!"
While bargaining, suddenly a sturdy middle-aged woman was in a hurry, crying and chasing after her, and as soon as she came up, she only cared about beating the idler.
She cried and said: "Okay, you wolf-hearted thing, you are addicted to gambling, you have lost all your family property, and now you are penniless and have hit your two biological daughters, and you want to sell your two biological daughters, do you still have a little conscience and humanity?"
"You are also in vain, you are not as good as a dog and a pig and a beast, what face do you have to live in the world? You might as well go and die head-on, so as not to affect your wife and family. I can't live with you anymore, woowoo......"
"You crazy woman, I sold my daughter, what are you howling, get out of my way, don't affect Lao Tzu's business," the scoundrel man crossed his right hand and pushed the woman in the chest, pushing the woman to the ground on her back.
"Is this your woman?" asked Kou Xingtian with a frown, "She doesn't seem to agree with you selling your daughter, which makes it difficult." This business is not easy to do, if I buy your two daughters, and she comes to my door every day to beg for it, how can I live in peace with the house?"
"Son, I am the head of the family, she is just a crazy woman, it is my right to sell my daughter to you, she has no right to control me. ”
This scoundrel man wanted to sell his two biological daughters to raise more than a dozen taels of silver, so he didn't care if his wife and daughter lived or died, but he just blindly promised Kou Xingtian in person.
"Moreover, I sold my daughter to you, and after I went back, I immediately tied her to the house every day, and never let her come out to show her face again, and I will definitely not cause trouble to you and affect your daily life. ”
"I don't think it's better to do this, you make a note, and simply sell me your crazy woman, your two daughters plus your woman, a total of thirty taels of silver. Kou Xingtian's eyes turned, and he immediately waved his hand and hammered it with a grand blow.
"I'll suffer a little loss, let you make a little more, but you have to give me a guarantee, no matter what your situation is, you are not allowed to continue to bother me, otherwise don't blame me for being rude, you will bear the consequences, we will break this deal at one time, what do you think?"
"So very good, so very good! I sell you and you buy, you and I are willing to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, there is no regret, this is a matter of course, I will immediately make a note, write a guarantee, son, please wait!"
When this scoundrel heard that his wife and daughter could be sold for a good price of thirty taels of silver, he immediately smiled, and hurried to the stall of a fortune teller in a hurry, and borrowed a pen and paper to immediately make a note.
This impatient situation is as if he is afraid that Kou Xingtian will be impatient and immediately regret it.
Thirty taels of silver is not a small amount, in that poor ancient times, human life was as cheap as a dog, especially minor children and married women who were old and yellow, it was worthless.
Who would be willing to spend a lot of money to buy these three cumbersome goods like Kou Xingtian, and it would be a lot of burden to take care of them every day.
Thirty taels of silver were enough to buy two young and beautiful women as wives again, so the scoundrel who was not as good as the beast thought that it was a very good deal, and he was not happy in his heart.
"The son is kind and willing to take in our mother and daughter, so that we can be free from the sea of suffering and never suffer again, and the poor woman is grateful to the child," the woman immediately kowtowed to Kou Xingtian, and thanked her for her kindness.
"It's just that such pigs and dogs are not as good as beasts, why should the son indulge him, give him more silver for nothing, it's really cheap for him. Even if he was given this rich silver, he would immediately take it to gamble, he was a scoundrel with a murderous nature, and he was a gambler who was addicted to gambling, and in addition to gambling, his conscience had long been given to the dog. ”
"Auntie, please hurry up, don't be formal, we will be a family from now on. The aunt must learn a lesson in the future and stay away from this kind of scum forever, so that she can no longer make mistakes and live a safe life," Kou Xingtian picked up the woman from the ground and enlightened.
