Chen Ziqi has never seen Mr. Luo work so hard. In his impression, Luo Yunsheng has always been a wild crane indifferent to fame and fortune.

This person can ignore the prince's homework just to enjoy the flowers and watch the moon, he can compete with others for three days for a pot of fine wine, and he doesn't care about the emperor's retention and rides away on a donkey.

Now, if it is said that the person standing on the street and bargaining with others with his sleeves rolled up is the great poet Mr. Hailou, he probably wouldn't believe it if he killed Emperor Tiande.

There are about [-] shops in the two main streets, east and west, and half of them are ownerless. Chen Ziqi put them directly under his own name, asked Fu Yin to write a transitional document, and paid a few taels of silver symbolically as his own. up.

"My lord, what do you want this shop for?" Fu Yin was a little puzzled, the shop in Jianyang City couldn't be rented out at all, that's why it has been left unoccupied.

"You'll know after a while," Chen Ziqi put his elbow on Fu Yin's chest mysteriously, "Don't say I don't take care of you, my lord, these three rooms are for you, take some, it will be useful . " From a stack of house deeds, I took out three ones with relatively remote locations and stuffed them into the hands of the governor.

Fu Yin held the three thin house deeds and was at a loss.

As Fu Yin said, the shops in Jianyang City are very cheap, ordinary ones only cost 20 taels, larger ones can be bought for 30 taels, two-story small buildings cost 50 taels, and three-story high-rise buildings cost 100 taels.This is the price Mr. Luo set after several inquiries, and most people are scrambling to sell it.

You know, in the bustling capital, a shop on the main street costs at least 300 taels of silver to sell.

These shops are basically ancestral property, and some of them were once wealthy. There are twenty large shops on East Street, which belong to a family named Hao.According to the information found in the archives of the government office, there is only one middle-aged man left in this family, named Hao Dongxi, who is currently working on the farm in Changjianmen.

Hao Dongxi's ancestor was a wealthy household in Jianyang City, who opened a weapon shop, mainly collecting swords and knives made by Jianyang blacksmiths, and selling them to various places.Later, when Jianyang fell, his house was also ruined. It was ransacked, leaving only the twenty empty shops.

"Dongxi, when did your daughter-in-law come over?" After doing farm work all morning, several middle-aged men were sitting on the ridge to rest, looking at Hao Dongxi jokingly.The young man looks more upright. Although he doesn't have the roots of martial arts, he still has strength and is a good hand at work.

Those of them who do long-term work for the sect farm can barely make ends meet, and have no hope of marrying a daughter-in-law. I heard that someone told Hao Dongxi a family relationship. Everyone is very envious, even a little jealous, and they have to ask it every day. .

Mentioning this, Hao Dongxi, who had no energy in the first place, became even more depressed, "Retired."

"What?" Everyone looked at each other and asked why.

The day before yesterday, a matchmaker came to the door and said that the woman's family could find someone to forget, and that they couldn't get married if they didn't match each other.But yesterday he found out that the family wanted to give their daughter to a disciple of Changjianmen as a concubine, and they had already received a deposit from him.

"Hey, I don't think you are poor." A group of poor boys sighed, and those who were originally jealous of Hao Dongxi also became depressed at the moment.Among them, the most handsome can't marry a wife, do they still have hope?

Hao Dongxi thought about his elderly mother and younger siblings, and covered his face sadly.No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't save much money, and he just barely got by every day. Whose girl would marry him to suffer?

"Hao Dongxi, a distinguished guest is looking for you." The manager of the farm came over and called him.

Which nobleman wants to find a long-term worker?Hao Dongxi didn't know why, so he slowly followed the steward to the main hall.When the gentleman in a Confucian shirt handed him the transfer document, Hao Dongxi still felt that he was dreaming.

"You mean, you want to buy all these twenty shops?" Hao Dongxi confirmed again in disbelief.

"That's right, our prince wants to buy it," Luo Yunsheng nodded. The scattered small shops were all assigned to other subordinates in the palace to buy them. For the larger ones, he came here in person to avoid any trouble, "Do you want to buy them?" How much do you want, give me a price."

Hao Dongxi was at a loss and licked the sweat from his palms on the worn-out jacket.Having been a long-term worker for many years, he is not aware of the current land price, but he also knows that the shops in Jianyang City cannot be sold at a high price, otherwise he would not be a long-term worker here.

Luo Yunsheng has not seen this kind of situation in recent days, and he immediately understood, and he took the initiative to say, "You know the current land price in Jianyang, the shop is not worth much, the prince's house is kind, and he refuses to treat the people badly, so he decided A unified price. I bought it with others, basically 20 taels a room. Your shop has a three-story small building, which can be charged at 100 taels. Nineteen single rooms, a small building, a total of 480 taels , if you think it’s okay, you can sign here.”

480 taels...Hao Dongxi is a little confused, three coins can buy a stone of rice, nearly 500 taels of silver, how much rice is that...

"My lord wants a shop, just take it, I don't dare to accept this money." Hao Dongxi came back to his senses, and fell into the panic of falling pie from the sky.The world is so chaotic, and he has no ability to protect himself. With so much money, he can only wait for his family to be ruined.

"You can move to live in Jianyang City. Now the people from Longjian Gate and Short Sword Gate are patrolling the city day and night, and no one will dare to steal your money. If you are worried, the money will not be given to you until you arrive Jianyang, take this note and go to Jian Wang's Mansion to pay the money." Mr. Luo patiently wrote the arrears documents and handed them to Hao Dongxi.

After being dizzy for a whole day, Hao Dongxi didn't say anything to anyone after returning home. He got up early the next morning and went to Jianyang alone.

Before the city gate opened, there were already people waiting outside. Hao Dongxi squatted aside, quietly observing these people.Some are farmers selling vegetables, some are hawkers doing business, and some are passers-by.As the sun rose, the gate of the city opened with a bang, and there were two guards with swords standing at the gate to check. When they looked carefully, they were taken aback. Aren't they the disciples of the Long Sword Gate?

Due to the lack of manpower, Chen Ziqi went to the two sworn brothers to ask for some disciples to form a patrol battalion, responsible for guarding the city and patrolling the city, and each person was given five taels of silver a month.Ordinary disciples in the small sect can only get two taels of silver a month, and five taels of silver is a lot for them, so they are scrambling to come to work.

There was no unified military uniform for a while, so they were all made to wear the clothes of their own sect, which looked quite mighty, at least able to restrain some hooligans and low-ranking people from the rivers and lakes.

There is no need for money to enter the city. Hao Dongxi entered Jianyang smoothly, and walked along the East and West Streets. He saw someone cleaning up the ruins of the West Street. Vendors set up stalls.There was a group of people wearing dagger gate costumes, with daggers pinned to their waists, walking slowly on the street, led by a man in black with an unlucky face.

Although it looks very unlucky, but the momentum is awe-inspiring, and it looks like a master.The master glanced at Hao Dongxi, as if he was evaluating whether he was a gangster who wanted to provoke trouble, so he quickly lowered his head in fright.

"My lord!" The black-clothed master suddenly stopped and led a group of people to bow their heads in salute.

Hao Dongxi raised his head quietly, took a glance, and saw a young man with a noble temperament, waving his hands with a smile in his eyes, signaling everyone to be polite.

"The two of us came out to eat small wontons, would you like a bowl?" Chen Ziqi smiled and asked Wu Bubu.At present, there are too few manpower available, so Wu Bubu can only lead the patrol battalion to survive this period of time.

Wu Bubu glanced at the palace master behind Chen Ziqi, received a cold stare, and immediately shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, this subordinate has eaten."

Then, Hao Dongxi saw the young prince, pulling behind him the man in red who was so beautiful that he was not like ordinary people, sitting on a small wonton stand that had just been set up, happily eating wontons.No one came to bother the wonton stall, and the vegetable sellers around were also calm, Hao Dongxi's heart suddenly bubbled like a boiling soup pot, and after inquiring around again, he walked briskly. home run.

Chen Ziqi took a sip of the hot soup, sighed comfortably, and threw a few copper coins to the stall owner.The owner of the stall was a little embarrassed, "My lord, I get monthly money every month, and this money is not easy to collect." The person who set up the stall was none other than the cook of the palace.

Chen Ziqi glared at him, and the cook didn't dare to say any more, secretly happily put away the money.The prince asked them to come out to act as hawkers, and the utensils and materials for setting up the stalls were all from the palace, so they were making money for nothing, so how could he not be happy.

"Your idea is not bad." Dan Yi didn't like pork, so she just sipped the soup slowly, looked at the people on the street who were full of inquiry, and couldn't help smiling slightly.His relatives are really getting more and more capable.

"People are panicking, don't appease them, when will Jianyang City become lively?" Chen Ziqi curled his lips, took out a green rice cake wrapped in a silk handkerchief from his sleeve, and handed it to Dan Yi.

"This is..." Dan Yi took it and took a bite, and the fragrant bamboo rice taste instantly spread on the tip of his tongue, which made him curl his mouth.He knew that Chenzi Qi quietly ordered Tu Buxian to go to Guiyun Palace yesterday, and Diao Lie agreed to it, so he didn't care, he didn't expect to go to get bamboo rice.

"I've been starving you for the past two days, bear with it, and we'll return to Yungong after the armory is done." Chen Ziqi stretched out his spoon and scooped up all the wontons in Dan Yi's bowl into his own.
