Chapter 25: Place
After all, the steward is a businessman, and although Cao Shuo's proposal is risky, it is not completely impossible.
"There's no need to think about it so much." Cao Shuo said: "Cao Cao came back, and it is not certain whether he will set fire or not. Even if he set fire, can he still burn the entire Wancheng? As long as one of the hundred shops can be left, we will not lose! ”
"It seems to make some sense for the guest to say that." The steward said: "But I can't come up with so much money, the taxes are too heavy, and it is not easy to open such a small shop to support a family." ”
"I'll pay for it." Cao Shuo said: "You just have to buy the shop, after buying it, we will split the account between the two of you, what about me and you?" Or if you don't want to pay dividends, I'll give you five gold beads as a reward afterwards. ”
If you don't get so many benefits from a copper coin, of course the steward is willing: "If you can't go back to Wancheng, you can't say it, don't pay dividends, and afterwards the guests will be rewarded with five gold beads, and I will leave here with the whole family." ”
"Then you have to buy the shop as soon as possible, I still have business to do, I can't be here for too long." Cao Shuo said: "I can only give you three days at most, although Cao Jun has retreated, no one can tell when they will come back." If you delay for too long, if you can't go, it will be a big loss! ”
"Guests rest assured." The steward said, "Within three days, I will definitely do this!" ”
When the two were talking, Liu Shuang pushed the door in with a kettle.
Cao Shuo asked him, "How much money did we bring with us this time?" ”
"I didn't bring much." Liu Shuang said: "One hundred and ten gold beads, if they are exchanged for copper coins, it will be five or six hundred hangings." ”
"Leave ten copper coins, and the rest are ready, I will be useful."
Liu Shuang replied and put the kettle on the copper stove.
Cao Shuo said to the steward: "You go and do the things I explained first, take the money from me when you use it, and when I leave Wancheng, you have to take all the house deeds with you." ”
"Okay!" The steward said, "I'll do it." ”
Cao Shuo nodded and watched the steward exit the room.
"Childe." Sending the steward out of the door, Liu Shuang asked Cao Shuo in wonder, "Why do you suddenly need to use so much money?" ”
"You think it's useful for us to have so much money with us?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly, and said to Liu Shuang: "It's very heavy to bring too much money, and when you go back, your father will definitely have another reward, and you don't need these." There is no place to use money for what we want to do, so it is better to use it to buy some property. When Wancheng is stable in the future, I can also be a rich man. ”
"Childe thinks about it thoroughly." Liu Shuang said: "After receiving so much money, I still think about whether to buy the body back......"
"You think you're buying meat on the street?" Cao Shuo said: "Tell them to go down and let them cook and eat by themselves at noon, and no one is allowed to leave the hall for half a step, nor is it allowed to talk to outsiders, let alone discuss the purpose of our entry into the city." You and I go on a trip to the city. ”
"I'll explain." Liu Shuang promised to leave the room.
Cao Shuo came to the window and looked outside.
His room happened to be facing the street, and he could see the street outside.
After Zhang Xiu's dedication to the city and the rebellion, the people of Wancheng have become frightened birds, and many people have dragged their children and daughters out of the city and gone to other places to beg for their lives.
Wancheng, which should have been quite lively, only a few shops are still open.
There were no small traders on the streets, and there were very few people even walking around.
The war has brought nothing but panic and uprooting for people.
Looking out the window and sighing, Liu Shuang pushed the door and came in: "Childe, I have already ordered to go down." ”
"You go out for a walk with me." Cao Shuo said: "The two of us ate out at noon. ”
Liu Shuang agreed.
When he was about to go out, Cao Shuo said: "Call your partner who can climb over the wall and cross the house, we are going out now to step on it, and it is more convenient to take him with you." ”
"Childe is going to take Chen Wu with you?" Liu Shuang asked.
"His name is Chen Wu?" Cao Shuo asked.
"Yes!" Liu Shuangying said.
"Go and call him." Cao Shuo commanded.
Liu Shuang agreed and withdrew.
After taking these people for a few days, except for Liu Shuang, Cao Shuo didn't ask for the names of other people at all.
What they had to do was an easy task.
The slightest omission may clash with Zhang Xiujun.
Once the fight starts, people will definitely die.
It is impossible for the dead person to follow him back to Xudu, and asking for the name is nothing more than thinking about what happened with this person.
It doesn't make much sense.
Liu Shuang didn't let Cao Shuo wait too long, and soon returned with Chen Wu.
"Let's go!" The two of them were waiting at the door, and Cao Shuo gave an order and led them out of the building.
When I walked through the front hall, the steward saw them and said with a smile on his face: "I was about to ask about the shop for the guest, where is the guest going?" ”
"If someone is willing to sell their shop, you ask them to come here at night with the title deed." Cao Shuo said: "As for whether the shop is good or not, and what price it can use, you can do it." Tell me then, I can count it in my heart. ”
"Don't worry, I'll do it." The steward said.
Out of the hall, Liu Shuangcheng Cao Shuo asked: "Leave such a big thing to outsiders to do, and the son can rest assured?" ”
"He's already said the approximate price." Cao Shuo said: "Even if you want to get some fun out of it, the price fluctuation will not be too big." What's more important is that the money is in our hands, and if we want to make this money, he has to do things well. I have already calculated that if I buy a shop here and sell it again in two years, I can make at least one or two hundred times the profit. Some shops don't make more than that. Even if he is allowed to make a small move out of it, what can he do? ”
"Childe is not afraid of delaying serious things?" Chen Wu asked.
"What's there to delay?" Cao Shuo said: "I haven't figured out anything about the situation, and it's impossible to start." Take advantage of the situation to figure out the situation and do something else in the past few days, and you can also put on a business appearance. It's less likely to be suspicious. ”
"That's what Childe said." Liu Shuang asked, "Where are we going now?" ”
After thinking for a while, Cao Shuo said, "It's time for lunch in a while, let's find a place to drink flower wine." ”
"Drink flower wine?" Liu Shuang looked back at the empty street: "There are few people on the street, is there still a place to drink flower wine?" ”
"The merchant girls don't know the hatred of the country, and they come out to sell, how can they think about who the city is?" Cao Shuo said: "The more chaotic it is, the better the business in that kind of place." Many people don't know if they will live tomorrow after today, a little money, and they don't all give disaster as soon as possible! ”
After Cao Shuo's analysis, Liu Shuang and Chen Wu both nodded.
It's just that they haven't figured out yet, and when they entered Wancheng, Cao Shuo didn't go to explore the vicinity of the official mansion, but wanted to drink flower wine.
