Looking at Li Xiang's leaving figure, Li Chengqian didn't know what to say. What is a big deal in this kid's eyes every day? The heads of every household are here today. You might as well look familiar here.
, I want to open some kind of pawn shop.
In fact, Li Xiang has also thought about it. In the next series of actions, he will definitely offend the powerful people in Chang'an City. Under such circumstances, he might as well not meet them first. Anyway, it doesn't matter one day earlier or one day later. If
Today he looks familiar, and tomorrow he will cover up a Korean spy, and it will be even more embarrassing then.
Li Xiang came out today to do private business, so he was not wearing bright yellow clothes, but looked like an aristocratic young master. Qian Ping and Zhao Yunhui were guarding them nearby. Except for Tiger One and Tiger Two behind him, the other people
They are all ten meters away, which can protect Li Xiang's safety without disturbing Li Xiang's interest.
"How's the horse buying going?"
The group of people walked and chatted. Li Xiang now has three hundred guards. Li Xiang is preparing to equip all of them with war horses. According to the regulations of the court, except for fifteen of them, it is impossible for the rest to be equipped.
You can pay for it yourself.
"Back to Your Highness... Young Master, I went to the market and asked about it. The real famous Dawan horses are expensive, costing around 350 guan. Chang'an City has plenty of them."
Zhao Yunhui said with some embarrassment, of course this was also Li Xiang's order. Li Xiang wanted all his men to use good horses, so the price would definitely not be low.
Li Xiang's guards were all redeemed in the system, and they already had horses when they came out. However, Li Xiang looked through the system and didn't see anywhere where he could redeem war horses, so he had to buy them himself.
"Find someone to order two hundred horses, and tell the bureaucrats who are coming that each of them must prepare two war horses. If they are not famous horses from Dawan, they must be grassland horses. If not, the Imperial City Si Yamen will not accept them.
."
Li Xiang said angrily, these people under us are not here to mess around. Since you want to join this yamen, you have to make sacrifices. Although you are all commoners among the major families, each family has
There is no shortage of good horses. If you are reluctant to give two horses, what else can you do?
Qian Ping immediately started to calculate the accounts. If he bought two hundred war horses, he would definitely be able to beat the price, but it would still cost three hundred coins. His Highness earns money quickly and spends money quickly. Now, all of a sudden
But only 60,000 yuan was spent.
Other armor weapons are provided by the imperial court. The system requires twenty guan to redeem a set, but Li Xiang doesn't want to exchange them all now. He doesn't know who these people are yet. Li Xiang doesn't want to invest too much. He needs to test it for a while.
I know that if the armor weapons exchanged by the system are sold, it will cost several thousand guan. After all, a sword only costs 3,500 guan.
"Master, this is the largest store in Chang'an City. It originally belonged to Han Wang Li Yuanchang, but now it belongs to us."
Qian Ping said cheerfully, this store is located in the prosperous Chang'an East City. Among the entire streets, this store has the largest area. It is usually divided into three stores. After all, no one merchant can rent it all.
"Greetings to... Young Master."
An old man next to him came over and knelt down. He originally wanted to say His Highness, but when he saw Li Xiang's dress and thought that this was a street, he changed his mind abruptly.
This person was Zhou Huairen, the royal merchant of Empress Changsun, and also the great housekeeper of Empress Changsun outside the palace. Later, after Empress Changsun passed away, the family was named under the name of the East Palace, and they were considered wealthy in Chang'an City.
If Li Chengqian hadn't done anything, Zhou Huairen could have handed over 1,500 yuan every year without affecting his business. However, Li Chengqian's constant demands eventually made Zhou Huairen bankrupt.
It would be impossible to say that Zhou Huairen was not resentful, but his business ability was unparalleled in the world, so Li Xiang sent someone to find him.
"I bought your old house in the east of the city for you. I won't give it to you the farm outside the city. I keep it for myself. But I will give you the money from the farm at the market price. From now on, you can pay it here."
I am the shopkeeper. I have checked your income in the past five years. It is about 3,000 guan per year. Half of it will be given to the East Palace and half will be kept at home. From now on, your salary will be 1,000 guan per year. If you do well,
I’ll give you another thousand guan at the end of the year.”
Li Xiang knows that the other party has resentment, so before talking about serious matters, some things must be done openly.
Zhou Huairen was still doubting his ears, but Qian Ping quickly brought over the house deed and an agreement, which had been signed with Li Xiang's name.
"Your Highness..."
Zhou Huairen felt confused and didn't know what happened just now, but His Highness had already led people in.
He has long heard these days that the young prince of the East Palace is different, but the whole family was torn apart by Li Chengqian. Now that the big house is back, and he still gets a thousand taels of compensation a year, is this still the way of doing things in the East Palace?
Qian Ping is still the same Qian Ping. When he saw himself in the past, he only asked for money. How could he give him something?
"Your Highness, you'd better explain it more clearly. This old man is already half dead in the earth. He's so scared!"
Zhou Huairen ran into the house and knelt down in front of Li Xiang with a thump. He held the house deed he had just given in his hand. His heart was pounding. He wondered what medicine Li Xiang was selling in his gourd.
"You old man, what do you have to be afraid of? Didn't I tell you clearly? You come here to be a shopkeeper, sell some rare things and also run a pawn shop. What other illegal things can I ask you to do? Here
But on Chang'an Avenue, how many people are watching."
Li Xiang said angrily, Zhou Huairen was right when he heard it. If there was something fatal, there would be no way to place the shop here. People living around here are all human beings.
"I wonder what the rare thing His Highness is talking about is?"
Zhou Huairen calmed down a little. If he wanted to sell things and run a store, it wouldn't be difficult at all for him.
"The mirror in Miss Changsun's hand, the knife used by my men, and the Tang Tianjiang that is being sold. Currently, there are only these three items. I wonder if I can set up a stall?"
When Li Xiang mentioned the first thing, the old man had already started to get excited. These three things were all rare and rare things in Chang'an City. If they were sold in this shop, let alone an old shopkeeper like himself.
Well, even if you let a dog be the shopkeeper here, you will be making money every day...
