Longevity: I want to enjoy wealth and honor in the world
Chapter 7 Enemies on the Road
If I was just rich, I might be robbed by these guys on a random charge.
As Feng Tianzong was thinking, a ball of lightning flashed in his hand, a thunder in the palm. The identity of the immortal master is still very popular in the secular world.
Revealing his identity can save a lot of trouble, at least the other party dare not easily calculate him.
"It is said that the car, ship, store, and footman should be killed even if they are innocent. You dare to calculate me, believe it or not, I kill you, and the Zhou family will not do anything to me?" Feng Tianzong said sternly.
"Immortal master, immortal master, spare my life!" The yamen fell to his knees with a thud, trembling all over, and kept kowtowing for mercy.
"How dare I calculate you, every word I said is true. In this Liaoyuan City, if you want to buy land on a large scale, you can only find the three major families. You can't buy it in other places." The yamen cried.
But the more scared he was, the more guilty he was. If he had nothing to hide, why would he make such a gesture?
"Master Immortal, I am the owner of this dental shop. I apologize to you here. I hope you can forgive me for what I did wrong in our shop." A skinny old man with a goatee came out from the back room.
Feng Tianzong looked up and saw that this guy must have been waiting in the back, otherwise how could he come out so promptly? Instead, it made him more certain that the other party was plotting against him.
Otherwise, if it was just a boy who provoked a fairy master, he would not stand up even if he was beaten to death, so as not to be blamed.
"Well, then tell me, what are you plotting? Otherwise, I will tear down your dental shop today." Feng Tianzong said bluntly.
"Sir, to be honest, we really didn't want to plot against you. Those things he said were not lies. We just wanted to make a good relationship with you. The Zhou family is willing to give you some land. We hope to make friends with you, the immortal master." The shopkeeper said calmly.
"Oh! I understand. If you sell it directly to me, the two parties will only have a trading relationship and no one owes anyone anything. But tell me first, if you can't buy the land, even if I offer a high price, it will still be unsalable.
At this time, your Zhou family came out to be a good person, selling me some land at a high price, and at the same time making me owe a favor. Good calculation, your Zhou family is really good at calculation." Feng Tianzong understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.
Killing several birds with one stone, and this action was also a test for him. If he didn't show enough strength, and he had so much money to sell land in large quantities, he might be swallowed up by the Zhou family.
It was only after Feng Tianzong revealed his identity as an immortal master that he changed his mind and prepared to ask for a favor, which was not a loss.
"Master Immortal, we really didn't think so much, and what we said was all true. Our Zhou family is willing to make friends with you and sell you a thousand acres of good land at a low price. If there is anything that does not suit your taste, please forgive me. Of course, if Master Immortal is really angry, this dog slave will be at your disposal." The shopkeeper's words were flawless.
"Okay, since it is a misunderstanding, forget it. There is no need to sell it at a low price. The normal market price is fine. Do you have a map to see where you can sell me the land?" Feng Tianzong asked.
Since the other party is willing to show goodwill, Feng Tianzong did not pursue it. Improving strength first is the most important thing. The general situation is in my hands, and there is plenty of time. The more time passes, the stronger my strength will be.
They are just some ordinary landlords. In the eyes of immortal cultivators, they are just some chickens and dogs, not worth mentioning.
"Please wait a moment. Regarding the land, I can't make the decision. I have to ask my eldest master to talk to you about the specific area." The shopkeeper said respectfully.
The favor of a fairy master is not something that a shopkeeper can get. If the Zhou family finds out, they will definitely skin him alive. So this matter needs someone from the Zhou family to come forward.
"What are you standing there for? Why don't you serve tea to the fairy master?" The shopkeeper said as he kicked the clerk who was kneeling on the ground.
"I'll go right away." The clerk quickly got up and ran to the back room.
"Fairy master, please take a seat. Please wait for a moment. I'll send someone to inform my eldest master." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
Feng Tianzong nodded. For him now, everything else is secondary. Buying land and people and getting more tax revenue are the most important things.
The business of the pawnbroker is very diverse. To put it bluntly, they are just an intermediary agency. They do everything from renting houses and introducing jobs to buying and selling people and buying and selling land. There is nothing they don't do.
And they do no-cost business, which is particularly shady.
The pawnbroker also buys and sells people, just like the little girls that Feng Tianzong bought. It's already very cheap to buy one for a hundred copper coins. It is a disaster year now, and the price of grain is relatively high. One copper coin can buy a big steamed bun.
This is already a violation of the rules in the eyes of the pawnbrokers. They buy people for ten kilograms of grain, which is worth less than twenty copper coins. Then they hire someone to train and cultivate for a period of time, and then pick out the pretty ones and sell them for dozens or hundreds of taels of silver, which is absolutely a huge profit.
"Hey, why didn't I think of the pawnbrokers? They must have beautiful maids." Feng Tianzong suddenly thought.
"Forget it, forget it. The ones I trained myself are more reliable in terms of loyalty than those bought from outside."
"I bought fifty little girls before, and I don't know how many pretty ones can be found among them after raising them for two years. What if there is none?" He was inexplicably worried, so it was better to have double insurance.
"Boss, I'm waiting for you. How many pretty maids do you have? Take me to see them." Feng Tianzong said after taking a sip of tea.
"Yes, yes, yes. There are many refugees recently. Our pawnshop bought a lot of them in one go to save them. Food is very precious these days. If our boss hadn't been kind enough to give them something to eat, these people would have starved to death.
Moreover, the maids from our pawnshop are all taught by others. They are absolutely obedient and honest. You can buy them back and use them with confidence. There will be no other disputes." The shopkeeper said attentively.
Buying at a low price and selling at a high price, treating people like animals, and finally getting a reputation of being kind, it's simply too dark. Feng Tianzong added another crime to these landlords in his heart.
When they are liquidated in the future, they will settle the accounts together. Land and population are related to Feng Tianzong's path, which will definitely be expanded in the future. These landlords and wealthy people controlled the land and the population, so the two sides naturally stood on opposite sides and there was no room for easing.
