She rode in a carriage and arrived at the designated place.

Shopkeeper Jin's eyes brightened when he saw Gu Yiyi today, especially when he saw the jade pendant around her waist and the jewelry on her wrist, his mouth smiled even wider.

"Oh, Mrs. Gu, you... you really rely on your clothes, you are just like that fairy."

Gu Yiyi was too lazy to listen to her false flattery, so she returned to the topic and looked at the land market with him.

After some understanding, Gu Yiyi knew that there were two forms of land sales in Tianqi Kingdom, one was live sale and the other was absolute sale.

As the name suggests, live selling is a flexible sale, with one land and two owners. To put it simply, it is pawned and leased to others. After a certain period of time, the land can still be returned to the seller, but no interest is charged.

As for the absolute sale, that is to obtain the ownership of the land. As long as the court policy remains unchanged, the land that is never sold will permanently belong to the buyer.

It sounds like the situation is similar to that of a pawn shop.

The land sold includes not only high-yield paddy fields, but also general wasteland, as well as some small land that no one cares about, and the prices are different.

It can be as little as a few cents or a few taels, and the high aquatic fields can be as high as fifty taels and one mu.

After taking a quick look, Gu Yiyi made some calculations in her mind.

Shopkeeper Jin stroked his beard and asked: "I wonder what Madam thinks now? Is there anyone you like? I have taken a fancy to one, but... I have to think about it carefully."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong voice suddenly came from behind, with a hint of ridicule.

"Shopkeeper Jin has to think carefully about buying a piece of land now? What? Business has been bad recently and the revenue is bleak, so do you have to think carefully about spending some money?"

I saw a man wearing a golden robe walking towards him with his chin raised.

His outfit looked like that of a nouveau riche.

When shopkeeper Jin saw it was him, he had a bad look on his face and quietly told Gu Yiyi: "Madam, he is shopkeeper Tong from Yuanyangfang."

It happened that at this time, shopkeeper Tong noticed Gu Yiyi and saw that she was well-dressed, but she was wearing a veil, so she couldn't see what she actually looked like. But Gu Yiyi's exquisite body made him talk frivolously.

"I've never seen this girl before. What's the matter? Is she a relative of Shopkeeper Jin's family? Is your Jin family so beautiful? I don't believe this. I have to take a look."

After saying that, he stepped forward and used the fan in his hand to lift Gu Yiyi's veil.

A trace of displeasure flashed across Gu Yiyi's face, and she clamped his fan between her hands, making him unable to move.

Shopkeeper Tong looked slightly startled. After trying several times but unable to move, his expression changed a little: "Humph, this woman is quite courageous."

Shopkeeper Jin hummed and said bluntly: "This is a branch of the Jiangnan Pei family. Madam Gu, I think shopkeeper Tong should treat you with courtesy."

"Mrs. Gu?"

Shopkeeper Tong is a little unfamiliar with this name, but he is very familiar with the Jiangnan Pei family.

He looked at Gu Yiyi in disbelief: "She is a relative of the Pei family? Then the Pei family has not been to the imperial city for so many years. Why did she come to the imperial city so well? And come here? Could it be that she also wants to buy it?"

Before Gu Yiyi could speak, he opened the folding fan and laughed.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, Mrs. Gu, the land prices in our imperial city are much more expensive than in small places like yours in Jiangnan. If you don't prepare some extra silver, you won't be able to buy anything good."

Gu Yiyi sneered and asked, "Does Shopkeeper Tong think I can't afford several pieces of land?"

Shopkeeper Tong immediately laughed: "I didn't say that, but if Mrs. Gu thinks so, then you might as well buy a few more pieces to prove it!"

Shopkeeper Jin glared at him and whispered beside Gu Yiyi: "Madam, don't be the same as him, just buy what you like."

Who knew that Gu Yiyi took a step forward, stretched out her slender hand, and touched Shopkeeper Tong's shoulder.

"Since Shopkeeper Tong wants to see the world, okay, then I'll open your eyes."

After saying that, he walked up to Mr. Trader, asked for a piece of paper, and wrote down the lands he had just chosen on it, and then had a large box lifted from his carriage.

Before anyone could react, Gu Yiyi suddenly opened the box. In an instant, the dazzling yellow light blinded everyone's eyes! !

I saw a golden ingot lying in the box, which suddenly made some people weak in the legs.

How could ordinary people have seen so much gold, and no one would come here to buy it directly?

That Mr. Trader was about to faint!

Shopkeeper Tong was also shocked and ran over with a look of disbelief on his face, holding out his hand as if he wanted to test the authenticity of the gold.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he stretched out his hand, Gu Yiyi hit him back with a stick.

"How can Shopkeeper Tong touch my gold?"

"How can you know the authenticity without touching it?! Don't just pretend to be fat and use some fake gold ingots to deceive people, right?! Otherwise, who would dare to put so much money here? Aren't you afraid of being stolen? ?”

Hearing this, Gu Yiyi immediately laughed out loud.

"Hey, Shopkeeper Tong, it's just such a small amount of money. It's not much. Why do you make it sound like it's so valuable? I don't even care about this little money. I just take it out to buy some land and hoard it."

After saying that, Gu Yiyi waved her sleeves to bring Mr. Trading back to his senses.

"Sir, I want all of what I just wrote. I would also like to ask you to go to the bank and divide it for me. The excess will be given to all the buyers present. Just think of it as my pleasure and share the dividends with everyone."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

None of them have ever seen such a wealthy person! You must know that with this hundred taels of gold, even after buying the land she wanted, there would still be a lot left over. Everyone would have a few taels of silver if the remaining money was distributed.

It's like pie in the sky! !

For a moment, everyone present was excited: "Oh, may I ask where Madam is from? She is so grand!!"

Shopkeeper Jin suddenly felt bright on his face. He snorted, raised his chin, pushed Shopkeeper Tong away, and spoke loudly for Gu Yiyi.

"Our wife, the Gu family, a branch of the Jiangnan Pei family, specializes in the jewelry ore business. Have you all heard of the Pei family's reputation?"

Most people doing business on the scene have heard of the Pei family to some extent, but the Pei family has been low-key and reclusive for generations, rarely showing up, even if they are rich, they do not show their presence, so their presence is not strong.

But looking at it now, Jin Bailiang doesn't take it seriously. This Mrs. Gu is really not an ordinary person! !

But after she took out all the gold, no one would doubt it, and immediately started working for her in a lively manner. Mr. Trader immediately asked someone to bring in the chair cushions, so that Gu Yiyi could sit comfortably at the table and watch Mr. Abacus do the work for her. Calculate the details.

There was also someone dedicated to serve her tea, and even someone to block the sun.

Gu Yiyi couldn't help but sigh, it's good to have money.

No matter it was before or now, having money can make all the difference.

But Gu Yiyi still felt a little pain when she took out the hundred taels of gold.
