Chapter 52: An Opportunity to Dig a Pit
[Ran^Text^Library] Coming out of the Wei Mansion, Qin Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
More than a month has passed, and the tension and blood of the Three Kings Rebellion are no longer seen in the capital, and it is bustling and lively.
It was getting late, Wei Zhao originally left them to stay in the Wei Mansion for one night, but Qin Qi resigned, led the horse, and found a small shop on the street to order something to eat.
This ****, the new emperor ordered to copy a lot of people's homes, take back a lot of grange shops, the first emperor's favorite son Wu Wang, on the collection of ten thousand hectares of grange two more than five granges, more than 30 shops, the first emperor's favorite Hubu Shangshu Sun family also has more than 10 granges, more than 50 shops.
At that time, Wei Zhao sneered and said, one-third of the most prosperous streets in the capital are the shops of the Sun family, and these are only the capital and its vicinity, not including the two lakes in the south of the Yangtze River and the northeast.
They worked hard at the border, and they didn't even get a dime a dozen of these people.
Thinking of Wei Zhaoxiao and asking, Gu Mohan had five thousand taels of gold and silver and fifty thousand taels in his hands, why didn't he want to buy some industries.
After taking a bite of the steamed bun, the corners of Qin Qi's lips took on a bitter meaning.
This time, the Northwest Army came with a total of 30,000 people, and 30,000 people were all under Gu Hekui and Gu Mohan's own hearts, the battle in the capital, the most dangerous siege and attack on the palace were all fought by them, although the troops of the three kings were not enough to see compared to them, but there were many people.
In this battle, the Northwest Army lost 3,327 people.
And these people, the new emperor has not given a compensatory statement so far.
Gu Mohan's money didn't come directly, so he made a pension and sent it down.
If after a month, the new emperor has no more explanation, they can only sell all the things left behind by this raid to the brothers.
Originally, Gu Mohan still wanted to leave all the precious items in those things for the sixth girl as a dowry.
However, even if it is given to the girl, I am afraid that the girl's first reaction will be: Wow, how much can it be sold for?
As soon as he remembered that the girl said that there were many girls in your family who made money, the eyes were shining, and the corners of Qin Qi's mouth couldn't help but curl up again.
When he swept the corner of his eye to a middle-aged man who was walking in, Qin Qi restrained the look on his face, turned his body a little, and listened to the movement next to him.

"Yo, Steward Fu, but I haven't been here for a few days, what are you busy with?"
"Don't talk about it, the house wants to buy some field shops, and I've been looking around these days."
"This time, the Dingguo Mansion has such a generous reward, and it is also necessary to buy more family business."
"Hey, don't mention it, the rewards are all the fifth young master and the sixth girl, and they haven't gotten any money in the house."
"Didn't get it? Where did the money come from to buy a shop? I heard that last year's monthly money was paid a month late, and I still owe Xiuyuefang more than 1,000 taels of clothing money. ”
"Really? Dingguo Mansion, how can you owe money? ”
"Don't listen to his nonsense, our house is very good, now it's just the filial piety period, when the filial piety period is over, you can see again! Okay, I'm not going to talk to you, I'm going to see a few more shops today. ”
"Steward Fu, wait, that, I just got a painting of the former Chaoshou master in my hand, can you help me ask the second master, do you have any ideas?"
"Master Shou's? Yes! Our second master is looking for Master Shou's painting right now, and I'll take you there. ”
"Thank you for the blessing steward, it's done, our old rules."
Raising his eyes and glancing at the two people who walked out with their shoulders hooked, Qin Qi's pupils unconsciously deepened.
"Whew! rob the money of the dead, and are not afraid of loss. ”
A steward-looking man at a table next to him spat on the ground and cursed.
"What? What dead man's money? There was gossip to hear, and a few people who were about to leave surrounded them again.
"Didn't this Dingguo Gong die in battle to save the Holy One? The old lady and the second master in the Gu Mansion were greedy for the silver that the grandfather left for his own concubine as a dowry, what a lot of silver! Or like Gu Erye, can he buy land, buy shops, and buy Master Shou's paintings like this? ”
"You can't say that, don't you say, just escrow?"
"Escrow? He grabbed the same shop with me before, and raised the price desperately, and after he got his hands, he wrote the name of Gu Erye, and the painting of Master Nashou was even more free of money, and the one he bought before said that it was a sky-high price of 2,800 taels, just like that, how many more can get to Miss Gu's hands? ”
"Boss!"
Qin Qi stretched out his hand, pressed the hand of the guard who drew the knife, shook his head slightly, and continued to listen to those people.
"Don't want to raise the price?"
"Yes, it's three times more than the official price! Really, it's not that your own money doesn't hurt to spend. ”
"So high? That shop must be good? Aren't you rich in your house? How did they get robbed? ”
"Hmph, let's not be like that idiot, there are so many shops confiscated this time, the first batch of ones released are all bad locations, and I don't have to, I just can't see their faces, and deliberately raise the price with them, just that shop, if I really want it, I have to press down a hundred or two to be worth it."
"Speaking of which, I copied so many people and released so many shops this time, but not many people bought them?"
"Not many people are buying it now, and I won't know in another month."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Think about it, which one of the ones that was copied this time was not named a corrupt official? Those family properties are greedy at a glance, how many of them dare to buy a shop like the Gu family in this kind of limelight? Didn't you tell the emperor that my family has money, and my family's money is coming from the wrong way, looking for death! ”
"Then why don't you know after a month?"
The steward sneered and said, "There are more people in this world who are rich than those who are officials in the capital, besides, if you don't buy it once, you won't divide it a few times." ”
"Then this time Ningyuan Marquis Mansion will not buy more points? The third master in your house is the best at making money, will he miss this opportunity? ”
The steward smiled incomprehensibly, drank the tea dry, and after bowing to the people around him, he walked away.
"This Dingguo Mansion and the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion have never dealt with each other, so you can just listen to it as a joke." The boss said with a haha while delivering food.
Qin Qi's eyes flashed, he threw a few copper plates on the table, let the guards continue to eat, and then left the shop and caught up with the steward.
"This brother." Patting the steward's shoulder, Qin Qi dragged him into the alley next to him.
"What's the matter with the strong man?" Glancing at the young man in green clothes in front of him, the steward frowned and said.
"I just heard from the eldest brother that the second master of the Gu family will accept the painting at a high price as long as it is Master Shou, and the younger brother has a few paintings in his hand, and he wants to join forces with the eldest brother, and after selling it, we also want to buy some shops." Qin Qi's words were sincere, and his smile was honest and kind.
The steward was stunned for a moment and said, "This matter, why don't you just look for Nafu to manage things?" ”
This time, the main force of the raid was the Northwest Army, followed by the Southern Navy, and the Praetorian Guards copied only two or three of them, but the items that flowed out of the outside were mostly from the hands of the Praetorian Guards and the Southern Navy, and the Northwest Army left early, but there was no one.
This young man is afraid that it is either the Praetorian Guard or the Southern Navy.
"The eldest brother can even make them pay three times the shop, our painting of the master of Shou, I believe that the eldest brother will be able to pay a sky-high price, if it is done, the younger brother is willing to pay twenty percent."
"So ......" the steward squinted his eyes and smiled: "Money is a trivial matter, but it is my master's favorite thing to make Second Master Gu deflated, okay, I'll help you with this." ”
