Volume 1: Born to be a Hero Chapter 91: Careful Planning
The Zhao family collectively moved out of the city, and He Yi entered the Taishou Mansion, and then vigorously rectified the atmosphere of the upper class.
After the dismissal of a large number of corrupt bureaucrats and wealthy businessmen in collusion between government and businessmen, there were significantly fewer customers coming and going in the shops, and the business of shops such as theaters and gambling houses became significantly bleaker.
Especially in a place like Menglou, there is a lack of rich dignitaries, and the oil and water are naturally greatly reduced, coupled with the departure of the two top brands of Red Sleeves and Tianxiang, Menglou's business has plummeted.
This is one of the reasons why the shopkeeper of Dream Tower is in a hurry to sell this shop.
He Yi and Liao Qianzhong came to Menglou and directly called the shopkeeper to come over and talk.
In order to save some unnecessary trouble, he hid his identity as a guard, and he also looked like a young master from a large family.
The three of them entered a private room, and He Yi didn't say anything off-topic, and went straight to the point, saying, "Shopkeeper, how much silver do you need for this store to sell?"
The shopkeeper sat opposite He Yi, bowed his head and fiddled with his hands, secretly guessing He Yi's identity, but he couldn't think of a famous name, and after a while, he turned his heart sideways and said: "One price, one thousand five hundred taels!" ”
In the past few days, many people have come to him to negotiate the price, but the reserve price has been very low, and they are all second-hand dealers who want to resell the land.
The shopkeeper is also very irritable, and directly gives the lowest price he can accept.
He Yi frowned and said unhappily: "It's so expensive? I see that your store is deserted, and the business is not very good, dare to ask for such a high price, are you deceiving me that I don't understand the market?"
Although He Yi didn't understand the land price, Liao Qianzhong was very clear, and he had already told He Yi when he came that this dream building would not exceed 1,200 taels of silver at most.
But as soon as the shopkeeper opened his mouth, it was 1,500 taels, and he didn't give them room to bargain, which was indeed more expensive.
If He Yi has enough silver, there is no need to waste time because of this money, but now the Taishou Mansion is in urgent need of silver, and it is a sum of money to be saved.
"It's really not expensive. The shopkeeper said helplessly: "The thousand five hundred taels I said is already the lowest price...... This boy doesn't know that this includes not only the store itself, but also dozens of pink beauties, so ......"
He Yi shook his head and interrupted, "I want your pink beauties to do something." ”
He Yi's purpose is to open a pawnshop, not to re-operate the dream building, if you eat it in one bite, not only spend money in vain, but also raise dozens of more people, wouldn't it be a greater loss?
When the shopkeeper heard that He Yi refused to accept the woman in the Dream Building, he immediately shook his head and refused: "Then I won't sell it, since these girls have entered the Dream Building, they are just living a mixed life, begging for food, that's all." If they lose their jobs because of this, then how can these weak women survive? No, no, no. ”
He Yi was stunned, stretched out his hand and pointed at the shopkeeper, and said helplessly: "You guy." Okay, okay, fifteen hundred taels is fifteen hundred taels. ”
What else could he say? He had to find another way to put these girls somewhere else.
Can people still drive these girls out of the door and live on the streets?
Money!
"That's it, Qianzhong, I'll send someone back later, bring my sister over, and let her pick a few women to go back first. He Yi couldn't help sighing, so he first sent someone to the Taishou Mansion to summon Red Sleeves over, and asked her to pick a few women back first, and be a maid to take care of life.
Liao Qianzhong paused, knelt in He Yi's ear, and joked in a low voice: "The lord is sending plum blossoms and maids today, but I am afraid that the red-sleeved girl will misunderstand......"
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, what are you afraid of?" He Yi's old face turned red again.
...... ......
Since the matter of the shop has been decided, He Yi and Liao Qianzhong are not in a hurry to leave.
After paying the money and getting the title deed, he carefully discussed some details about the immortal dang in the same place.
Mortals are in the business of cultivators, and the two of them really don't have any experience. Moreover, this is also the first time that this matter has opened the world, and there is no ancestor to consult, so I can only slowly ponder the details.
"An ordinary pawnshop requires at least three discerning connoisseurs, a bookkeeper, a number of handymen and guards. If the lord wants to open an immortal dang and distinguish the spiritual property, then the post of connoisseur can only be used by the person who cultivates the truth, after all, even if ordinary people have good eyesight, they can't distinguish the quality of the spiritual property. ”
After a pause, Liao Qianzhong subconsciously glanced at He Yi, and said cautiously: "Can Du Dao be allowed to hold this position?"
Liao Qianzhong understood that because of Du Dao's greed that day, he had never left a good impression on He Yi, but he also knew that Du Dao was not bad in his bones, and he had something to say and no scheming.
Though...... It is indeed greedy, but the so-called people are not perfect, and there are some shortcomings, so that people live a real life.
Liao Qianzhong deliberately wanted to reverse Du Dao's impression in He Yi's heart, so he took the initiative to bring up the matter.
He Yi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Let him try it first." After hanging for such a long time, if I don't use it again, I am afraid that people will say that I will be suspicious of employing people. However, you have to remind Du Dao that if you are greedy again, don't blame me for not being merciful. ”
Liao Qianzhong hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness!"
He Yi waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, outside, don't be so polite." This bookkeeper, let my brother do it first, and the miscellaneous servants will be screened from the servants in the house. The main thing is that this immortal is the guard, and the current ...... It's true that no one is up to the task. ”
He Yi sighed helplessly.
In the current spiritual property market, if it is exchanged privately, a bottle of Zhongpindanyao can be exchanged for twenty bottles of Xiapindan, but there must be a layer of suspicion in the middle: if the other party sees the profit and has the idea of killing people and selling more goods in the process of trading, what should it do?
Because of this level of suspicion, a large number of monks would rather rot the spiritual property that is not suitable for their own use in their hands than exchange it with others.
And the existence of Xiandang is set up to break this layer of suspicion.
First of all, the price of spiritual products in Xiandang is extremely high, and a bottle of medium-grade pills has to be exchanged for thirty bottles of lower-grade pills, which is a fifty percent higher profit than the outside world.
But the good thing is safety! Absolutely!
Xiandang will not leak any customer information or exchanged items to the outside world, so it is safe.
But what followed was a problem that He Yi had to consider carefully, that is, the safety of ———— Xiandang itself.
If someone gathered dozens of cultivators to besiege Xiandang in a vain attempt to sweep over the spiritual property in Xiandang, then how should he deal with it?
If there is no group of strong people guarding day and night, I am afraid that it will not be long before Xiandang will be completely cut off by the cultivators from the outside world.
This is also one of the reasons why the matter of Xiandang has been delayed again and again and has not been implemented for a long time.
The reason why He Yi wanted to hand over Xiandang to Liao Qianzhong to take care of it, instead of taking charge himself, was originally because he wanted to congratulate Xiandang in person as Taishou when Xiandang opened, and then tried to repair a book, so that the people of the Zhao family also came to congratulate.
In this way, with the prestige of the Taishou Mansion and the Zhao family in the rear, most of the people's ill thoughts can be suppressed.
But after all, there is still a lack of insurance, if there is really a short-sighted outlaw monk who comes to find fault, the weakness of Xiandang's own strength will be exposed sooner or later.
Therefore, this matter of selecting people can be said to be the top priority.
Liao Qianzhong pondered for a moment and said, "In my opinion, it is better to leave this matter to Du Dao." He has some fame among the scattered cultivators in the city, and if he can recruit some casual cultivators to come, and then tie them to the chariot of Xiandang with a large profit, he can ensure that he will not suffer in the short term. In addition, there is an important person that the lord can consider whether to use it. ”
"Oh, who is available?" said He Yi, puzzled.
"It's the lord's sister, the girl with red sleeves. Liao Qianzhong replied.
"Red sleeves?" He Yi was stunned.
Liao Qianzhong said with a smile: "Lord, you are really in a blessing, but you don't know it! I'm afraid you don't know how much ability this red-sleeved girl has!"
He Yi shook his head: "But this immortal matter is extremely dangerous, once it is opened, it may encounter the danger of being attacked by someone at any time." Since Red Sleeves is my sister, she naturally has to take care of her. The sword has no eyes, and it will not be good if it hurts the body...... I'll find another way!"
He Yi naturally knew that Red Sleeves was an enlightened person, and he was very powerful.
It's one thing for my sister to take the initiative to share my brother's worries, but it's another thing for my brother to ask my sister to do something.
Therefore, it is impossible for He Yi to take the initiative to say it.
No matter how big or small, He Yi and Liao Qianzhong stayed in the Dream Tower for nearly an hour, sorted out everything again, and after making sure that there was nothing missing, as well as hidden dangers, they got up and stretched their waists and walked outside the Dream Tower.
"Get out of the way!"
“......”
At the moment when the two of them walked out of the gate, there was a sudden chaos in the street.
Immediately afterwards, I heard a horse neighing, and the ear drum of the person pulling it hurt.
He Yi had just walked out of the door, thinking about it in his mind, when he was startled by the neighing of the horse, he raised his head, but saw a pair of thick horses' hooves raised high, towards his head, and stepped down fiercely!
"Lord be careful!" Liao Qianzhong shouted in horror.
