Chapter 18 Finding a Property
Listening to Chi Shang's words, Miyata Mao was silent for a while and said: "The guest's words made Miyata think a lot, war really only brings harm, and I hope there will be no war in the future." ”
After putting down this somewhat heavy topic, Mao Miyata turned his mouth and began to ask about the topic of the house just now.
"Just now you said that you want to settle in Tokyo, you should need to find a house, I don't know what kind of size of house the guest wants to find? What are the requirements for the location, Miyata in this area of Tokyo I am still relatively well-informed, I believe it can help you. ”
Listening to Miyata Mao's words, Chi Shang Zhenyi muttered for a while and said: "First of all, I don't need those new houses, I just need traditional Japanese buildings, preferably some age, as long as Kanda District, Kojimachi District, Nihonbashi District, Kyobashi District and Minato District, the area must be large, it is best to have some houses in the middle of the noise, it would be better if there were some lakes." (Kanda Ward and Kojimachi Ward were merged in 1947 to form present-day Chiyoda Ward, and in the same year, Nihonbashi Ward and Kyobashi Ward merged to form the current Chuo Ward.) )
Miyata Mao listened to the young onmyoji's request for the house opposite, and silently thought about it in his heart, but found that there was no place he could think of that was suitable for this request, and he could only say that the other party's request was too much, and then when Miyata Mao wanted to say sorry, he suddenly stopped.
Because Miyata Mao suddenly thought of a place that fully met the requirements of the other party, but that place was very evil, as many people died as many people lived, and no one could live there peacefully, little by little it was called a haunted house, and then no one wanted to buy the house there, and now the house is owned by the government.
Because of the particularity of this house, Miyata Mao was a little unsure whether to tell the other party, but he suddenly thought of the identity of the other party, the other party is an onmyoji, and he is afraid of any ghosts.
"The house requested by the guest, I thought for a while that there is indeed a house that meets your requirements, the location is near Nihonbashi in the Nihonbashi district, the house is located on an island in the middle of the lake, the area of the island is about nearly one acre, the house on this island was originally the residence of three Dazai Marshal in the late Edo period, at that time it was still an ordinary hill, in 1818 the hill and the surrounding area suddenly subsided, after the local subsidence of the hill became a lake, including the island in the middle, the diameter of about three acres of natural lake, this is recorded。 (The origin of this Hu Bo is a bit exaggerated, but the author checked a lot of geographical information in Tokyo, Japan, and it is said that before the big construction in Tokyo, there was really a small pond there, so the author borrowed it, and I hope that book friends who like to check information don't delve into it.) )
Speaking of this, Miyata Mao pondered for a moment before continuing: " But it's such a good environment, and then it became a famous murderous place in Nihonbashi District, the Dazai Shuai family, after becoming an island in the lake, died in less than 20 years, and then another minister lived in, but it was also within ten years that the whole family died, and then no one lived, until in the Meiji period, it was bought by a wealthy merchant from Osaka, and many people told him what happened here, but this person didn't believe it, thinking that he was blessed and prosperous and was not afraid of ghosts and gods, and said that it was just a legend, and as a result, the wealthy businessman only lived for less than five years and people died in his family one after another, and the business was even more bleakIn the end, he probably felt the evil spirit of the house, so he moved out with the whole family, and mortgaged the house as an asset to the bank to repay the debt.
After all, this house has a history of more than 100 years, and it can also be regarded as a monument, of course, if anyone wants to buy it, the government will be very happy, they have been trying to auction this house all these years, but first, because the reputation of this haunted house is too loud, almost all rich people know that this is an unlucky place, and secondly, because the geographical location and land area are good, plus it is still a modern monument, so the price of this house is not very cheapNow the transaction price of this house listed by the bank is 150,000 yen, this price is simply too expensive, this is 10,000 US dollars, and now other houses in Tokyo only cost a few hundred yen, and the better ones are only five or six thousand yen, even if it is close to the palace in Kanda District, it only costs about 10,000 yen, and those people in the bank have added the area of the freshwater lake around the haunted house, which is really black-hearted, and the explanation they gave is that the lake is equivalent to the courtyard of the house, so it can only be auctioned together。 ”
Chi Shang really listened to this Miyata Mao introduce the house, the more he listened, the more interested he felt, and later decided to want this house, as for the name of the haunted house of this house, he didn't care at all, joking that he would be afraid of ghosts as an onmyoji, saying that this house is not necessarily a haunted house, after all, the previous owners of this house lived for a long time before dying, this should be a feng shui problem, it just so happened that his body was originally specialized in feng shui, and the onmyoji himself is a fortune teller and illusionist, so it is just right to deal with this kind of problem.
After introducing the haunted house that met the requirements of the guests, Miyata felt the need to persuade the other party.
"If you want me to say that you can pick some other houses, this house is really too expensive, it is not worth the price at all, and it has just been bombed by European and American ghost animals, and it is full of ruins and chaos. ”
Listening to the persuasion of the owner of this restaurant, Chi Shang sincerely smiled in his heart, he also knew that this house was not worth the price at all now, and even if he bought it now, he would lose more in two years, because the yen would definitely depreciate in two years, but he was also afraid that this house would not be sold in two years, after all, this is also a monument, and the lake area is still so large, he didn't see who in Tokyo in the previous life could occupy such a large piece of natural lake courtyard, except for the emperor's family, so he bought it now for the future, and he not only wanted to buy the house, but he also had to buy more surrounding land, and then spend money to build a wall, fence off this lake, so that Tokyo will have more quiet estates in the future.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of any haunted houses as an onmyoji, it just so happens that the quiet there is very suitable for me, and as for the money, I think I can still afford it. ”
After hearing what the other party said, Miyata Mao didn't say anything anymore, he had already persuaded him, but the other party still didn't change his mind, so he couldn't be blamed, after all, the two of them were not related.
After the meal, Ikeshō took Kumaji Yamada and the six people straight to the Imperial Bank in Nihonbashi Ward, where he had to buy the house. Fujiwara Shiro has been particularly worried recently, as a section chief, he is having a headache for loan collection and auction tasks, with the news of Japan's defeat coming, the bank's various businesses are shrinking, because of the defeat, there are a large number of people who commit suicide because they can't repay the loan, and
And the auction task has almost come to a standstill, he is still short of more than 50,000 yen this month, and now it's been half a month, but he still can't think of a way.
Fujiwara Shiro thought that if he couldn't complete the task this month, then Minister Suzuki was likely to cut him, because with the defeat of Japan, Japan's local businesses are shrinking, major factories are also laying off employees, and banks are no exception, thinking that if he is laid off, it will be difficult to find such a good job, thinking of the envious expression of his neighbors looking at him on weekdays, thinking of Reiko's proud appearance, thinking of the staff around him who compliments him, and he has just had a child with Reiko now, and the family's expenses are increasing, so he can't afford to lose this job that is both decent and well-paid, no one can get him out of the Imperial Bank.
Just when Fujiwara Shiro decided to go out to run the business again to see if he could complete some more performance share, there was a knock on the door.
