There are still three days left before the departure time stipulated by the Ministry of War, and these three days are the days for the soldiers to rest and recuperate, they can ask someone to write a letter to their families, they can go out to drink and shop, and of course, they can also go shopping in the Qinglou, in short, these three days are a rare vacation time for the soldiers.

Zhang Xuan also has some personal matters to deal with, he wants to buy a house in Luoyang, this is Zhang Xuan's long-term wish, he wants to fully integrate into this era, first of all, he must have his own home, a house that belongs to him is essential.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Xuan finally decided to buy a house in Luoyang, the capital, although he already had the intention to buy a house in the capital, but he soon found that buying a house in the capital was not an easy task.

After all, this is the capital, the world's famous families have a huge attraction, almost every county of the famous family will consider buying land in the capital to build a house, as close as possible to the power circle, the local government also set up a reception place in the capital, the demand for land is huge, making Luoyang difficult to find.

A few days ago, Zhang Xuan looked at several houses under the leadership of an intermediary, but he was not very satisfied, and the houses that are currently easy to buy are located in the north of Luoshui.

A Luoshui divides Luoyang into two parts, north and south, Luoyang has been said to be cheap in the north and noble in the south since ancient times, which is mainly because hundreds of thousands of craftsmen and merchants are concentrated in Luoshui North, and the dignitaries and nobles live in Luoshui South, so the house price is also cheap in the south and the north.

Zhang Xuan saw several houses are located in Luoshui North, he doesn't like the location, and he doesn't think the environment is good, the whole square seems densely populated, the buildings are dilapidated, giving people a sense of disorganization.

"General Zhang, I don't have Luo Shuinan's house in my hands for the time being, otherwise I will pay attention to the general first, and the general will definitely have it when he returns to Beijing next time."

The intermediary's surname is Zhao. is called Zhao Qi'er, in his thirties, with a shrewd and clever face, he is a real estate broker, equivalent to a real estate agent in later generations. By introducing the house to others to earn a commission, Zhang Xuan wants to buy a middle house covering an area of five acres, which makes him look forward to it very much, and he is also very hard-working, if this ticket can be made, he can get at least 50 commissions.

Zhang Xuan was a little disappointed in his heart. He only has three days, and he also knows that it is really impossible to buy a house in three days, to see the house, choose the house, and book the house. The homeowner is not necessarily in Luoyang, and it is too late in time.

Zhang Xuan originally wanted to ask King Yan's guards to find him a house, but now it is difficult to find a house in the capital, and it is difficult to find a suitable house, so Han Xin introduced him to this intermediary surnamed Zhao, it is said that this person is one of the three major brokers in Luoyang, and he is very well-informed, if even he can't find a house. That can only mean that there are really no houses in the market.

Zhang Xuan was helpless, so he had to nod, "Okay!" You keep an eye out for me. You'll give me the exact news the next time I return to Beijing. ”

"Don't worry, general! I also want to make money, right, I will definitely find a suitable house for my son. ”

"Not necessarily five acres, within twenty acres can be considered."

"The villain understands, I will definitely find the house as soon as possible, but the villain has other things to do now, so I will leave first!" Zhao Qi'er saluted Zhang Xuan. He hurried away.

Buying a house was unsuccessful, and Jang Hyun lost his spirit. Turning the horse's head and preparing to go back to the barracks, Ah Yuan, who was sitting in the carriage, smiled at Zhang Xuan and said, "Since you can't buy a house." Why don't you check out the shops? I do know that there are two shops for sale. ”

"How do you know there are two shops for sale?"

Ah Yuan smiled and said, "I'm just hanging out in the West Market these days, which one sells what?" I know exactly which thing is cheaper, and of course I know that someone is selling a shop. ”

Zhang Xuan never thought of buying a shop, but with his current financial resources, it is more than enough to buy a house and a shop, anyway, the house can't be bought, and there is nothing to do for the time being, so Zhang Xuan smiled and said: "Okay! I'm going to take a look with you. ”

Ah Yuan was just talking casually, but she didn't expect Zhang Xuan to really want to go, so she hurriedly asked: "One is a jewelry store, the other is a cloth store, which one will Gongzi go to first?" ”

"Which one is bigger?"

"Of course, it's a big cloth store, much bigger than a jewelry store."

"Then go to the cloth shop."

Zhang Xuan also wanted to go to the West Market by the way, so he took a few personal soldiers and slowly walked towards the West Market not far away, along with the carriage.

The West Market is very lively, the shouting and selling sound come and go, the merchants and pedestrians flow endlessly, a team of camels and ox carts full of goods slowly move on the wide street, it is completely a prosperous scene, how can you never imagine that all parts of the world have been full of smoke, and there are many bandits like cattle hair.

Zhang Xuan and his entourage came to the cloth and silk color satin shop located in the northeast corner of Xishi under the guidance of A Yuan, there are dozens of cloth shops of all sizes, with a daily throughput of hundreds of thousands, and it is the largest cloth and silk distribution center of the Great Sui Dynasty.

The value of cloth is large, and to some extent it can be used as currency, so every shop here is huge, with more than four acres of land in front of the store and back warehouse.

"That's it!"

Ah Yuan pointed to the shop on the very edge, this shop looks like it is some years old, covering an area of five or six acres, but the gate is closed, and there are two big words written on it in white clay, 'Sale, the handwriting has been moldy, the door is covered with dust, I don't know how long it has not been opened.'

"Is this military master here to see the store?"

A middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper walked out of the shop next to him, and said with a smile: "I have the key to this shop, if the military master is interested, I can take you in to have a look." ”

Although the location is not too good, but the place is large, both sides are very open, and the river behind is located in a wide place, such a shop is actually very good, how can it be like it has been closed for a long time, Zhang Xuan asked puzzledly: "Whose shop is this, it seems to be not bad, why did it close down?" ”

The shopkeeper looked at both sides, and said in a low voice: "Don't hide it from the military master, this is the original Yue Guogong Yang family's shop, after the tiger idiot rebelled, this shop was copied by the government, if the military master wants, one hundred and fifty taels of gold can be taken away, this is also the Yang family, if you change to another store, it is worth at least five hundred taels of gold, six acres of shops!" ”

Jag Hyun was really tempted. An ordinary five-acre house also costs one hundred taels of gold, this is a shop, and the land in the West Market is only one hundred and fifty taels of gold, Zhang Xuan feels a little unbelievable.

"Is there any stock in there?"

"The stock has been moved. It's an empty house. ”

The shopkeeper smiled again: "But I also want to make it clear, there are generally three shops that do not buy, murderers do not buy, rebels do not buy damaged shops, and graveyard shops do not buy, this shop occupies the second." So many people shook their heads when they heard that it was the Yang family's shop, and no matter how cheap it was, no one cared. ”

In fact, Zhang Xuan didn't care about the Yang family, in the Great Sui Dynasty, there were many people who were destroyed because of suspected rebellion, didn't Li Hun's family almost be wiped out because of rebellion a few days ago?

The other two sound unlucky. But the rebellion is a bit far-fetched, and it only sells for one hundred and fifty taels of gold, and it is worth it for him to buy this piece of land!

Jang Hyun smiled and asked, "Who do I go to if I want to buy it?" ”

"If the military master wants to buy it, then go directly to the Luoyang County Ya, the title deed and the house deed are all in the county Ya, and you can pay directly to deliver it."

Zhang Xuan nodded, turned around and smiled at everyone: "Let's go to the county government to have a look!" ”

"The general seems to be a little tempted." Several of the pro-soldiers laughed.

"How can you not be tempted? With such a large store only one hundred and fifty taels of gold, even the gods should be tempted! ”

Zhang Xuan found the county lieutenant Wei Yunqi. Coincidentally, the Yang family's cloth shop happened to be under the jurisdiction of Wei Yunqi.

Hearing that Zhang Xuan wanted to buy the Yang family's shop, Wei Yunqi couldn't help but smile and said, "I have to remind you first." That shop was originally He Ruobi's shop, He Ruobi was killed and returned to Yang Xuangan, but Yang Xuangan was also killed for rebellion, it was an ominous mansion, countless people came to inquire over the past year, but no one dared to buy it. You have to think about it. ”

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly: "Could it be that my Zhang Xuan's fate is that a shop can influence it?" ”

"Well said!"

Wei Yunqi admired Zhang Xuan's insight, "Since the general is willing to buy it." Then one hundred and fifty taels of gold, and I will have someone go through the formalities immediately. ”

Zhang Xuan ordered his soldiers to fetch one hundred and fifty taels of gold. Wei Yunqi completed the delivery procedures for Zhang Xuan.

In fact, Zhang Xuan didn't buy this shop to make money on his own, he was inspired by Zhang Jincheng, Xu Yin told him that Zhang Jin said that he had opened a mule and horse shop in the West Market, buying war horses and collecting intelligence about the capital, although this mule and horse shop had been pulled out by Yuwenshu, but Zhang Xuan was still deeply touched.

Even the bandits and thieves understand the importance of intelligence, and he, a top student of the Army Academy, should understand the importance of intelligence, and it is very necessary to build an intelligence point in the capital.

In addition, he also took a fancy to this six-acre shop, which he could convert into a warehouse, where some materials purchased from the capital could be temporarily stored.

However, Zhang Xuan had an extra layer of consideration, he did not sign his name on the deed and title deed, and signed Zheng Yuan'er's name, Zheng Yuan'er is also Ah Yuan, Zhang Xuan asked her to press her handprint on the title deed and the house deed.

"Childe, why do you want me to press my handprint?" Ah Yuan asked timidly.

"I'll give it to you in the future." Jang Hyun joked.

Ah Yuan's face suddenly turned red, and he twisted uneasily: "How can Childe make such a joke with me!" ”

Zhang Xuan pinched her little face and smiled: "I just don't want people to know that I'm the proprietor, go ahead!" Wait for me in the carriage, and I'll explain you one thing later. ”

Ah Yuan was happy and worried in his heart, it seems that Gongzi does not regard himself as an outsider, could it be that Gongzi has changed his mind again, not letting himself wait for Miss Qing, but leaving himself in Luoyang to look after the store for him, is it to let himself be a Ah Yuan shopkeeper? She doesn't know how to do business.

Ah Yuan thought wildly and walked out worriedly.

Zhang Xuan and Wei Yunqi still had something to say, so they followed him into the official room, in the room, Wei Yunqi poured Zhang Xuan a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Congratulations on the general's promotion, his wish has been fulfilled!" ”

"This is thanks to the county lieutenant Wei for helping me, if it weren't for the reminder of the county lieutenant Wei, I'm afraid I would have made a wedding dress, but the county lieutenant Wei wouldn't have it?"

Zhang Xuan was very worried, Wei Yunqi betrayed Pei Ju at a critical moment and helped him, will Pei Ju spare him?

Wei Yunqi understood what Zhang Xuan meant, and he smiled faintly: "I don't care anymore, now I don't care if I'm just a county lieutenant, what am I afraid of?" It doesn't matter if you lose the post of county lieutenant. ”

Zhang Xuan stood up and bowed deeply, and said to Wei Yunqi very sincerely: "Is Duke Wei willing to abandon this humble position and go to be a chief of staff in our army?" ”

It is necessary to reconcile with Pei Ju, but to continue to dig into Pei Ju's corner, which is Zhang Xuan's consistent style. (To be continued)
