Chapter 15: Yingguo Mansion (2)

The person who opened his mouth in front of the samurai Tong was the tooth of the Ya Xing of Wu Benfang, surnamed Wang, and those who asked for him were respectfully called a king tooth general, and those who hated and looked down on him took a sip and called a donkey tooth.

Yaxing is a middleman who assesses the quality and price of goods in ancient times, similar to a modern intermediary, and today the samurai Tong sold his Yingguo Mansion is the palm of this Wang Yalang and signs the contract.

It is not easy to live in Chang'an, there are not a few dignitaries and nobles who seek the government every day, and those who have no money live temporarily in the Yankangfang Inn next to the West Market, but how can those who have money wronged themselves?

And this area of Wubenfang is the hottest, facing the palace, it has always been a treasure coveted by the nobles of the kings and grandchildren, most of those founding lords have the emperor's house, but the county duke with a low title is not assigned here, and the eyes are hot, so a house is hard to find!

"The price of 3,500 guan is too low, and it cost 5,000 guan when I bought it back then, but... It was the first year of Wude, the world was undecided, and the era of war and chaos, Wang Ya would ... Can you raise the price a little bit? Samurai Tong's face was slightly stiff, although his power was gone, he was also the founding prince of the country, and it was already very face-saving to see this donkey tooth in person.

Originally, as a national prince, it was a very disgraceful thing to see this kind of ninth-rate tooth, but Wu Shi Tong was also helpless, and most of the money he earned was used to bribe court officials, so that they would not implicate him in the matter of the prince's 'rebellion'.

Wu Shi Tong knew in his heart that he only had a good relationship with Li Yuan, so he was named the Duke of Yingguo, and he was just a timber merchant before the founding of the country, what kind of backing could he have? And there are not enough officials who are afraid of being implicated in this kind of rebellion, although he is a national prince, but he is not even as good as a mung bean sesame petty official in Chang'an.

Because more than eighty percent of the court officials are children of the family!

Samurai Tong has a keen sense as a big businessman, and knows that the more money he has, the more insecure it is, so he will give away most of his previous wealth and spend money to buy peace, so that the officials of Dali Temple will no longer focus on him.

Finally, Li Shimin's butcher's knife in the court stopped, but he had to go to Lizhou again.

There is no money left at home!

can only rely on selling the house to serve as the travel fee and the settlement fee in Lizhou, so when Wang Ya came, he did not use the housekeeper of the Yingguo Mansion, but went out himself.

I want to use Ying Guogong's signboard to press the king's tooth general!

Wouldn't it be easy for the founding prince of Yipin to deal with this unpopular little official? But who knows that these teeth are all ruthless characters who eat people and don't spit out bones, they know which people can be offended and which people can't be offended, the fox can rely on the tiger to play prestige, but the little officials of the teeth play better.

Ying Guogongfu looks like a tiger, but he has long lost his minions, and he is still a sick nagger.

Wang Yajiang's face was like pine bark, and his mouth was full of yellow teeth when he opened his mouth, and he licked his upper lip with his tongue, and he didn't smile: "Ying Guogong, the villain also knows that you used to be in the timber business in Hedong, and you should know the rules of this industry. Isn't that the reason? ”

The samurai Tong was suddenly angry, even when he was a businessman, he had never suffered such anger, but when he thought about being a man, he had to recognize his own situation, the feathered phoenix was not as good as a chicken, what could he do? This king's tooth general is not a simple commodity, it is a clerk hanging in the Wannian County Government, unlike those private teeth, this is the official tooth.

The private tooth didn't dare to take over the mansion of the national mansion in this fang!

I could only slam the table hard, only to startle the women and children in the courtyard into low tears.

The corners of Wang Yajiang's mouth hooked slightly, his eyes lit up, Ying Guogong gave in! The lower the price he buys the house, the more rebates he receives, and the house in Wubenfang is now hard to find, but it can't be sold privately, so he can only ask them to be officials, but the books are basically the same, when he writes the price a few years ago, those county officials will not inquire carefully, and when he sells it, he uses this year's line price, and when he turns his hand, he is full of oil and water.

He approached the samurai in small steps, stretched out his right hand, and covered his hand with a long sleeve.

"Swallowing gold in your sleeves is as wonderful as a fairy, the number of spirit fingers is complete, and the priceless treasure is learned, and you don't meet a bosom friend and don't pass it on"

Wu Shi Tong also stretched out his right hand, and the two clashed back and forth between the long sleeves, and after a full stick of incense, Wu Shi Tong sighed and said: "Four thousand five hundred guan, it will be four thousand five hundred, Wang Ya will wait for tomorrow after a certain left, you can put a seal on it and sell it." ”

As soon as the cuffs are broken, it is the price of iron! There can no longer be bargaining between the two, this is the rule of trade.

But at this moment, the overwhelming "See Your Majesty" came into the house.

The warrior's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly trotted out with his jacket in his hand, and saw a bright yellow figure surrounded by dozens of palace maids in the center of the courtyard occupied by well-equipped thousand horsemen.

He was very familiar with this person, and immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, "The minister and the warrior Tong pay a visit to Your Majesty." ”

Wang Yajiang, who was about to step out on the threshold, didn't care about anything, knelt on the ground, but he didn't expect to hit the threshold, his face was red and blue, and he changed for a long time.

"This person is already old, he should be the emperor, what if the emperor knows that I am giving such a low price? Fucking broken merchants! Wang Yajiang scolded in his heart, it was precisely because he estimated that there was no one behind the warrior Tong that he dared to give such a low price, but who expected the emperor to come.

Li Yuan glanced at the warrior Tong, then looked around at the women and children, and said with a smile: "Xinming, you are moving, and you won't tell me if you move." ”

Xinming is the word of Wu Shi Tong, Li Yuan has already done enough homework before coming to Ying Guogong's mansion, first of all, he must be cordial in his title, according to historical data, Li Yuan is a friend of Wu Shi Tong, and it is inappropriate to call Ying Guogong and Wu Shi Tong, only the word to call him.

Wu Shitong's eyes were a little red, and he whispered: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, you can come to see the minister, and the minister is very happy in his heart." ”

Li Yuan waved his hand casually and said, "Xinming doesn't have to be formal, you and I don't have to be friends in Jinyang, just treat me as if we are friends." ”

Hearing this, the warrior got up, led Li Yuan into the main room, and sat on the main seat.

The two chatted for a long time, talking about some interesting things that usually happened, but the words of the court Wu Shi Tong did not dare to mention, and Li Yuan did not want to ask, so they talked about it one end at a time, and after a while, Li Yuan was involved in the matter of Wu Shi Tong's move.

"Xinming, Lizhou is a bitter cold place, this time it is bitter for you, I heard the crying of the women and children in the hospital just now, are you going to sell the house?" Li Yuan pretended to be surprised.

As far as he knew, Wu Zetian was fine when she was young, and since Wu Shitong's death, her cousins Wu Weiliang, Wu Huaiyun, and her half-brother Wu Yuanshuang kicked her and her mother Yang out of the house. Logically speaking, the Yang family is the continuation of Wu Shi Tong, his wife, and legally belongs to Wu Yuanshuang's mother.

Unfilial piety is one of the ten evils, and Wu Yuanshuang, as a nobleman, should also understand this, but why do he still do it? Even if it's not happy, raising a few idlers in the Guogong Mansion is just a common thing, and you can't do it.

There is only one possibility, that is, the samurai family is bankrupt and can't afford to support them.
