Chapter 17: The grocery store has been robbed
It's been another morning.
Li Chuan was watching the family training, and Li Changyue came quickly, saying that Su Xiaomei was here.
"Do you know what's going on?"
Li Chuan asked, having a guess in his heart.
Li Changyue said: "Come and deliver the silver." ”
Li Chuan nodded, and went to the front yard hall to see Su Xiaomei.
"Congratulations to Brother Li for his grace!"
Su Xiaomei looked good and congratulated with a smile.
Li Chuan waved his hand and said, "It's just a fellow jinshi, it's not worth mentioning, are the floor tiles sold out?" ”
Su Xiaomei said with a smile: "It's all sold out, the goods of Westerners are really easy to sell, this is silver." ”
took out a small stack of tickets, took a few steps forward and handed it to Li Chuan.
After Li Chuan took it, he then handed it to Li Changyue.
Li Changyue was not polite, clicked again, and said, "The number is correct, young master!" ”
Li Chuan nodded and said to Su Xiaomei: "There is no goods now, wait a while, I will send it to you when the goods arrive." ”
Su Xiaomei smiled and nodded, said a few words and left.
On the way, the accompanying mother-in-law said, "Did Miss find out, Young Master Li is different from before?" ”
Su Xiaomei nodded, but anyone who has been in contact with Li Chuan can find that Young Master Li has suffered a big change, and after waking up, he has completely changed as a person, and she can naturally feel it, but it is just that it is not easy to put his beak.
The mother-in-law said with a gossip on her face: "Young Master Li, like the young master, only knows how to read the sages hard, or he lingers in the Fengyue place with those scholars, but now he seems to be a different person, and he doesn't look like a scholar anymore." ”
Su Xiaomei sighed: "Shame and courage, if only the eldest brother could wake up like Li Chuan." ”
The mother-in-law said excitedly: "Those Western goods are really easy to sell, miss, we have made a lot of money this time, right?" ”
Su Xiaomei nodded and said: "The profit of a batch of goods is worth the hundred-year income of our Su family, such a big profit, I am a little worried, remember not to talk nonsense when I go back, don't let my father and eldest brother know." ”
"Don't worry, Miss, I won't talk nonsense."
The mother-in-law nodded hurriedly and didn't say anything about killing her.
……
The afternoon sun is warm, and the warm wind blows people slightly.
Li Chuan was a little lazy, he didn't want to move when it was hot, so he moved the deck chair to a big locust tree in the yard, lay down and napped, and when he felt a fairy beckoning to him, there was a sound of footsteps, interrupting his sweet dream.
"Who is so uninteresting?"
Li Chuan was a little annoyed, and when he looked up, he was a housekeeper.
"Young Master!"
Li Changyue hurriedly came and said excitedly: "The old slave just heard the news that the Chen family's Zhuangzi is going to be sold. ”
"Really?"
Li Chuan was stunned, and then his spirits were greatly lifted.
The Chen family is a real wealthy family, the eldest son of the old lady of the Chen family is still in the imperial court, and the official is not small, the Chen family's Zhuangzi Li Chuan has seen, and has always been very envious, covering an area of 200 acres, built very elegantly, ancient garden style, Li Chuan is still thinking about buying more land when he encounters an opportunity, and also build a big Zhuangzi, enjoy it.
But okay, why did the Chen family sell Zhuangzi?
Li Changyue replied: "It's true, I heard that the uncle of the Chen family offended the emperor and was beheaded by the emperor, the Chen family doesn't want to live in Jiangyin, and plans to sell Jiangyin's Zhuangzi and land, as well as the shop, and go back to his hometown." ”
"I see!"
Li Chuan understood, although the Chen family is a big family in Jiangyin, but the ancestral home is not from Jiangyin, but from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and now the pillar of the Chen family was cut off by the emperor, and most of the Chen family was panicked, afraid of being affected by their families, so they were in a hurry to sell their wealth and prepare to go back to their hometown in Zhejiang to avoid the limelight, which was not going to return to Jiangyin.
"How much does the Chen family ask?"
Li Chuan's heart was moved, there are not many such opportunities.
Li Changyue said: "One hundred thousand taels, Zhuangzi and 1,500 acres of land are sold together." ”
Li Chuan touched his chin and said: "100,000 taels is not expensive, Jiangyin land is expensive, an acre of good rice field costs 30 taels, then the Zhuangzi needs to be built, not to mention about 80,000 taels of silver, the Chen family is in a hurry to get rid of it!" ”
Li Changyue nodded and said, "I heard that the Wu family intends to take over, but the cash in their hands is not enough, and they are transferring the silver." ”
"Buy it, I want this Zhuangzi."
Li Chuan didn't dare to grind, lest he miss the opportunity.
The Li family does not have many fixed assets, the goods on Taobao are basically bought and sold without capital, and there is no debt for shipment, and there is a lot of silver in his hand, even if he gives Zhao Yuan 100,000 taels of silver, there are still more than 200,000 in his hand, and the funds are very sufficient.
Even if it is not enough, he can still buy silver directly on Taobao.
Li Changyue agreed, and ran away like a fly.
A man who is almost forty years old, he runs even more slippery than a young man.
Li Chuan couldn't sit still, and circled around the yard against the sun.
Jiangyin is a rich land, usually very few people sell land, and encroach on the land of those people, not to mention that Li Chuan can not pass his own level, in fact, in the Chongzhen Dynasty period, the people in the south of the Yangtze River still have their own land has very few, the vast majority of the land is in the hands of the powerful and powerful, this kind of large-scale land sales opportunities are too few, it is difficult to encounter.
The news of the Li family is not well-informed, and Li Changyue didn't know that the news he got was a few days ago.
I hope it's not too late, otherwise if I want to have this kind of opportunity again, I don't know if I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.
Li Changyue came back quickly, and he came back in half an hour.
"Master, no problem!"
The housekeeper said excitedly: "The old lady of the Chen family has already cleaned up, just wait for Zhuangzi to make a move and go back to his hometown directly, I heard that the Wu family still wants to lower the price again, but the old lady Chen is not happy, so the old slave will buy it directly, and ask the young master to forgive him!" ”
"What sins!"
Li Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "At this time, I am still grinding, that is, there is a problem with my brain, you hurry up and take the ticket and get the title deed as soon as possible, this matter is decided, otherwise it will be difficult to guarantee no accidents." ”
Li Changyue answered, and hurriedly followed him to the study to get the ticket and went straight to Chen's house.
The title deed was completed the next day, and near noon, Li Changyue came back with a tired face.
Li Chuan was in a good mood, but when he saw Li Changyue's face full of anger, he sighed in his heart, thinking that there had been another accident in the matter of buying and selling, and hurriedly asked: "What happened, is the Chen family's Zhuangzi not for sale?" ”
"It's not!"
Li Changyue was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The land deed of Zhuangzi and Tian Property has been completed......"
Hearing this, Li Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.
But Li Changyue's next words made his face turn gloomy.
"Young master, the grocery store has been robbed."
"What?"
Li Chuan asked in a deep voice, "When is it?" ”
Li Changyue said angrily: "Half an hour ago, in broad daylight, a group of masked thieves rushed into the store and snatched most of the Western goods sold in the store, and most of the rest were also smashed, and the old slave had already gone to the government to report the case. ”
Li Chuan was furious in his heart, but he was still very calm: "Who do you think did it?" ”
Li Changyue said: "The old slave thinks that most of it was done by the Wu family. ”
Li Chuan asked, "What is the reason?" ”
Li Changyue said: "The Wu family wanted to buy the Chen family's Zhuangzi, but we bought it first, so the old slave felt that the Wu family would most likely hold a grudge, so he found someone to retaliate against us, and most of the people who did it were some green skins." ”
Li Chuan nodded: "If it is really done by the Wu family, the government is afraid that it will not be done." ”
Li Changyue said distressedly: "It's a pity that those goods are worth a lot of money!" ”
Li Chuan said: "Tens of thousands of taels of silver is a trivial matter, is Baoshan okay?" ”
"It's fine!"
Li Changyue shook his head and said: "I was beaten by a few green skins, it was just some skin trauma, and it didn't get in the way." ”
Li Chuan paced back and forth, frowning and thinking.
Li Changyue didn't dare to worry, so he waited beside him.
After a while, Li Chuan said: "Close the grocery store, we won't sell the goods ourselves in the future, all of them will be handed over to the agent to deal with, after buying the Chen family's Zhuangzi, these few people will definitely not be enough, let Baoshan come back!" ”
Li Changyue agreed, and he saw more with the young master, and his horizons broadened a lot.
For the current Li family, a grocery store is indeed a little irrelevant.
Especially if you are not hard enough, some things are still unavoidable.
It's like the grocery store was robbed in broad daylight this time, when the Li family doesn't have the strength to make those big families jealous, such a thing can't be avoided, as long as it doesn't damage Zhao Yuan's interests, there is no evidence, Zhao Yuan can't control this kind of thing.
Instead of taking precautions every day, it is better to close the grocery store.
Unless the Li family has enough hard power, they can suppress Xiaoxiao.
But that's not going to be the end of it.
Being beaten and not fighting back, this is not Li Chuan's character.
