"Look at my blindness, don't you? It turns out to be the young master. I have long thought that the young master has extraordinary bearing. It turns out that he is really the master of little brother Mingmo. I don't know what to call the young master?"
Jiang Yazi has long since developed a good tongue, speaks enthusiastically, and even flatters a little. However, it is not offensive.
"My surname is Gu. My second sister is getting married and wants to buy some land closer to the capital. Do you think there is any good land?"
"Then I don't know whether you want the village or the land? How many acres do you want?" Jiang Yazi held up the booklet he recorded, opened it, looked at it, and asked Gu Chengyu.
"Are there any 100 acres that are connected together?" Gu Chengyu didn't plan to buy more. Gu Wan didn't know how to take care of the fields, so he had to find tenants and long-term workers.
When I came to the capital, I definitely had to find a way to make a living. The embroidery shops in the town were quite good, but they were smaller in scale. If I came to the capital, I could open one and do the craft she was good at.
Jiang Yazi looked at Gu Chengyu strangely when he heard this. A Yazi like him had contact with many dignitaries and ordinary people. Sometimes he could do business worth several thousand taels of silver at once, and sometimes he could only do a few dozen taels.
of.
The reason he looked at Gu Chengyu was because he felt that Gu Chengyu looked like a noble man, and he didn't understand why he only bought a hundred acres. But he knew that the man in front of him was not short of money.
However, he also knew that it was other people's business. Although it was a little less than before, it was not considered a small business.
"Master Gu, we don't have one hundred acres in one area yet. But there is a small village with more than two hundred acres. Is it possible for Master Gu?"
Jiang Yazi flipped through the booklet in his hand, which contained scattered land or small and large farms, and there really wasn't one with a hundred acres.
"That's it. As long as the land is good, I'll buy it. I'll ask my housekeeper to come with you to have a look in the afternoon. I also want to buy a bigger farmhouse. You can look for it again. Is there a yard on the south side? It doesn't need to be big, just as soon as you enter
It will be done."
Gu Chengyu's yard has been brought to Yin Kun's attention. It's not cost-effective for Ya Xing to buy the yard. Ya Xing will have to pay a large amount of money. The yard he wants to buy is big. Yin Kun is an official after all, so he has better connections than him.
The courtyard he entered was prepared for Gu Wan. When the time comes, he can just give him the money. There is no need to be polite between siblings. Although he has money, he is afraid that Gu Wan will develop a habit of getting something for nothing.
temperament.
"A bigger village, do you have any requirements, Master Gu? I have several villages here, some with 500 acres, and some with 800 acres. Some of them even have hot springs. As soon as you enter the yard, there are several in the south.
The house is in a good location, you’ll know when you go to see it.”
In fact, what Jiang Yazi meant was that the environment around the courtyard was good, there were no messy people around, and the surrounding environment was good. Many merchants and merchants lived in that alley, and they were all wealthy families.
Gu Chengyu heard the implication and planned to ask Mingmo and Yu Panzi to take a look in the afternoon.
"How big is the hot spring village?" Gu Chengyu was a little tempted when he heard about the hot spring.
You can grow vegetables this winter. In the winter in the north, you can only eat cabbage and radishes. If you can grow some fresh vegetables, restaurants can use them and sell them to wealthy people.
"One is a thousand acres, and the other is six hundred acres. The spring at the six hundred acres is smaller. This is something you can encounter but cannot ask for. I didn't have it before. This is an official's house. If you
If you want to buy it, let me ask you something?"
Jiang Yazi had long seen that Gu Chengyu was tempted. If he could sell one of the Zhuangzis, he would definitely get a lot of money.
Gu Chengyu roughly calculated the money in his hand and found that he could still afford to buy two villages. The small village with two hundred acres was only two thousand taels at most, which was not expensive. Even after buying it, he was a little tight when it came to buying a house.
.
However, the Juxiang Building in Beijing has opened, and the business should be good, making more money than the one in Fucheng. In a few months, he should be rich.
If it's too late, you can ask Yin Kun to advance the money first and then return it to him in a month or two. Besides, there is a lot of gold and silver in the space, so you can also use it.
Gu Chengyu thought about it and planned to buy them all, "I will let the steward look at the three villages. If they are suitable, I will buy them all. You tell me the number first, and I want to see if it is a good deal."
When Jiang Yazi heard this, his face burst into laughter. He was really a rich man! He would buy such an expensive Zhuangzi whenever he wanted.
"The big one costs 13,000 taels, the small one costs 9,000 taels, and the one with 200 acres costs 2,110 taels. As for the house, it only costs 1,800 taels. You can send someone to look at it this afternoon. I promise.
To your satisfaction.”
Jiang Yazi felt that compared to Zhuangzi, the house was insignificant to Gu Chengyu.
He thought that he would definitely negotiate a price with Zhuangzi, so that he could get more money from the house. Only later did he realize that he was wrong. These were only small coins, and they gave him a bigger one without any care.
"I'm sincerely doing your business, but the prices your two dealers are asking are too outrageous, aren't they? I won't accept such a price. If you say the lowest price, those owners will definitely give you the lowest bottom line. Of course, if you
If you don’t want to, then I’ll find someone else. Anyway, you’re not the only one doing dental work.”
This dental shop is not as big as there are many dental shops in it, and there are a few standing next to it looking at it eagerly.
Gu Chengyu didn't care about friendship, not to mention he had no friendship with Jiang Yazi.
"Oh! No! I see that you are also a happy person, so I will give you another number. That is the lowest. If you don't buy it, I can only blame myself for not being able to do your business. The minimum for Dazhuangzi is 10,000.
Two thousand five hundred taels, the small one is eight thousand four hundred taels, and the smallest one is two thousand taels, which is the lowest. If the owners of the two hot spring villages were not in a hurry to sell, they would certainly not be able to offer such a low price."
Gu Chengyu smiled slightly, you said he was anxious to sell, so he would be sorry for his own pocket if he didn't negotiate the price? However, he also knew that some aristocratic families would definitely be able to afford such a village, and it would be bought by others.
, then wouldn’t he regret it?
He pulled Jiang Yazi to the corner, lowered his voice and said: "Let's do it! You go and bargain with me. No matter what method you use, as long as you negotiate with me for five hundred taels, I will give you one hundred taels, or one thousand taels."
How about I give you two hundred taels, and so on?" Gu Chengyu didn't believe that he would not be tempted.
"What? Are you serious?" Jiang Yazi shouted in a sharp voice.
He looked at Gu Chengyu with red eyes, and the hand holding the booklet was shaking. When he saw Gu Chengyu nodded, he was so excited that he could not speak.
"Seriously! How much money you can get depends on your own abilities."
Jiang Yazi really didn't expect that the pie would fall on his head. The two Zhuangzi in his hand were obtained with great difficulty. Such a business is rare, how could such a Zhuangzi be sold often?
?
After such a big deal, he had calculated that he should be able to get seventy or eighty taels of silver. He was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't expect a bigger surprise to come.
