Chapter 196 The richest man in the harem
Top tyrants all have the tempers of top tyrants. Now it is clear that someone wants to cheat them, so they are naturally very angry.
These people began to inquire around Xianyang City, wanting to know where Huai Guzi, who is known as the exiled immortal, came from.
After learning about Huai Guzi's deeds, the powerful people suddenly felt that things like houses must live in. Now that the houses are all in Huai Guzi's hands, it's okay to buy them. Just be more expensive.
Li Shui was very considerate and believed that the top tyrants could not live outside the city, so he had already left a few sets in the city. However, the price was also very expensive.
The first person to buy a house was Tianjing, Linzi. The one he bought was a super luxury house launched by Huaiguzi, which sold for up to 500 taels of gold per mu.
The price is outrageous, a hundred times higher than the initial one. Everyone thought Huai Guzi was crazy. But there was a crazier Tian Jing who paid for the money to buy the house.
Tian Jing had money and could afford a house worth 500 taels. Of course, he bought this house not to show off his wealth, but to make friends with the powerful people in Xianyang City.
As long as you make friends with powerful people and want to earn money back, isn’t that easy? Isn’t it Li Shui the most popular person in Xianyang now?
Tian Jing felt that spending a lot of money to buy this house was almost like giving gifts to Li Shui in disguise. This was considered making friends with him.
But he didn't know that Li Shui heard that he bought this house without paying it back, and his intestines were regretful. Judging from Tian Jing's performance, the price was still low for 500 taels of gold per acre.
Li Shui was a little bit self-blame and found that he was too kind and was a little afraid to ask for the price when selling things. So Li Shui hesitated whether to raise the price.
Before this decision was made, the powerful people of the Six Kingdoms heard the news and quickly bought out the remaining houses of Li Shui.
Li Shui had no choice but to say regretfully: "Forget it, since it has been sold, then I won't go back on my word. I'll suffer some losses."
He doesn't know how much money Li Shui has now. In short, if he spends money every day, he should spend several lifetimes.
Li Shui's house was sold out and he was very happy, but there were still seven or eight powerful families who took action a little slower. Now he was crowded in the inn and was suffering.
The people who were buying houses with bamboo signs on the street disappeared, so they could only ask around to see who had the house in their hands.
After inquiring, I heard that Chunyu Yue still had a house in his hands, so he tried his best to buy it. There were many powerful people but few houses. They began to bid for each other, and the price also reached 500 taels of gold per acre.
Chunyu Yue thought about it and felt that the powerful people of the Six Kingdoms would not have the second wave. So he sold the house.
Overnight, Chunyu Yue, who was content with poverty and was happy to talk about it, became the third richest man behind Li Shui and Li Xin.
Chunyu Yue was a little confused. That night, he recited the Analects of Confucius at the top of his throat and pulled back his heart lost by money.
Chunyu Yue’s house was sold out. There were two other powerful men who had not bought the house.
These two people are desperate and have already planned to live outside the city, but they are top tyrants. If they live outside the city, how can they be faced?
Fortunately, at this time, someone found out that an unknown merchant in Xianyang City seemed to have more than a dozen houses in his hand.
So they quickly found the merchant.
The merchants were also shocked. A few months ago, Mr. Fu Yao brought some gold, silver and jewelry and asked him to buy a house in the city.
At that time, the house in the city had thirty taels of gold per acre. The merchants thought that Mr. Fu Yao was simply making a fuss and flew with money to fetch water.
But after all, he is a young master of Qin, so he just makes a fuss. As long as the young master is happy, he will help buy a house.
Unexpectedly, in just a few months, these houses rose to 500 taels of gold.
The merchant admired Fu Yao so much that he was impressed. The young master did not leave his home, but knew everything about the world. Yes, I heard that Fu Yao was a disciple of the exiled immortal, and I must have obtained the true teachings of the exiled immortal.
When it was late at night, merchants always hit their heads against the wall: I would have known it if I had known it, and I would have bought a few sets of them if I had known it.
Now, the merchants were found by the powerful men of the six countries. He could not make any decision on this matter at all, so he replied that he would consider it. Then he asked the familiar little eunuch to ask Fu Yao for instructions immediately.
Fu Yao analyzed it and heard that Li Shui sold all the houses, so he decided to sell them all. However, the price could not be less than 500 taels of gold per acre.
So, these two powerful men bought all the remaining dozen houses. This acquisition almost exhausted their wealth.
When the merchant exchanged land deeds with them, he asked curiously: "As far as I know, no powerful people in Kanto come to Xianyang anymore. The two of them bought so many houses, but they couldn't sell them."
The two powerful men laughed and said, "Whether they are the powerful men and women in the family, don't they have a man and a half women in their families? When their children and grandchildren become adults, they always have to set up a different business, right? By then... hehe, my house will be sold for one thousand taels of gold."
The merchant was stunned and thought to himself: "The Kanto people are so cunning."
…………
The news in the harem is always very closed. If the women in the harem want to know what happened outside, they must pass through the relatives outside. If there are no relatives outside, they have to hearsay.
However, in recent days, no news has been heard from their relatives. Because everyone is busy with the houses, they do not know how much housing prices in Xianyang City have risen.
These concubines were idle and decided to go to Yu Meiren. A while ago, Princess Weiyang spent a lot of money to buy a house. This behavior of fetching water made the concubines more and more like chatting with Yu Meiren.
On this day, they met Yu Meiren, and after chatting for a few words, the topic was about buying a house in Weiyang again.
Yu Meiren's face turned pale and she looked like she wanted to drive people away, but these concubines refused to leave.
Meiren Zhou held Wei Yang's hand warmly and said, "Wei Yang, you are afraid you will pay the dowry this time. But don't be afraid, when you get married, I will give you a few golden hairpins."
Weiyang did not answer, she was staring at a small bronze tripod on the small table next to her.
The beautiful Wang next to him also came over and said to Weiyang: "Yes. Don't be sad. If you have nothing, you may not be bullied. We will help you. But you must not be so reckless in the future."
"The tripod is a ritual vessel. It first cooks food, then worships ancestors, and then becomes a treasure of the country. Now... it may be used to hit people." Wei Yang thought silently in his heart.
Zhou Meiren said earnestly: "Yes. Have you been short of things recently? There are often a lot of dishes left in my palace. If you don't have enough food, I can send some after each meal."
Wei Yang reached out and grabbed the foot of the small tripod. The tripod was very small and was decorated. However, it was also made of bronze and weighed more than ten kilograms.
Wei Yang could barely lift it up. If it hits Zhou Meiren again, she could shut up immediately.
Meiren Wang said, "Weiyang, I think you are reluctant to wear clothes this year, right? I have too many clothes to wear in the palace. If you don't dislike me, I will ask them to send some unused silk."
Wei Yang weighed the little tripod and thought to himself: "Mr. Huaiguzi is happy to have a grudge. How free and easy is he? I also want to be like him. However, if the gentleman beats someone, he can perfectly deal with the aftermath. How should I deal with the aftermath?"
Meiren Zhou turned her head and said to Meiren Yu, "What is missing in your palace? Just open your mouth."
Meiren said without any emotion: "No need to worry."
Zhou Meiren smiled and said, "We sisters, why are you polite? Who is that? Siqin isn't it? Is there a few pieces of silk left in my palace last year. You can bring it right away and add some new clothes to Yu Meiren."
Weiyang could no longer hold it back and stood up with Xiaoding. She had not thought about the aftermath issue yet, but seeing that her mother was about to accept humiliation, she would beat her first.
At this moment, Fu Yao's shout came from outside: "Sister, sister, where should these things be piled up? Come out and take a look."
Meiren Zhou and Meiren Wang looked at each other and laughed and said, "Young Master Fu Yao, it's time for you to grow up. What a big deal happened in the family and they still ran away all day long. It's really not worry-free."
Meiren Yu didn't say anything and walked out quickly.
Then, Yu Meiren's voice came from outside: "Weiyang, come quickly."
Wei Yang heard something wrong with Yu Meiren's voice, so he quickly threw Xiaoding and went out.
As soon as he walked out of the house, Wei Yang was stunned.
Fu Yao was commanding a few little eunuchs to move wooden boxes from a carriage. The boxes opened and there were yellow things inside. According to Wei Yang's experience, this thing may be gold, but is there a little more gold in a carriage? Where did Fu Yao get so much gold?
While Wei Yang was wondering, Meiren Wang had already asked: "What is this?"
Fu Yao looked at Wang Meiren with some confusion: "Gold, don't you recognize him?"
Meiren Zhou looked at Fu Yao in shock: "You...you shouldn't have robbed the powerful people of the six countries?"
As soon as he said this, beautiful Wang also moved his heart. This explanation seemed to be the only reasonable explanation.
Wang Meiren said to Yu Meiren: "Hurry, take Mr. Fu Yao and apologize to Your Majesty. Once someone is reported, it will be too late."
Fu Yao rolled his eyes, not too lazy to pay attention to these two people.
The little eunuch next to him said respectfully: "Report to the two beauties, this gold was not stolen, but was obtained from selling it to several houses."
Meiren Zhou looked disbelieved: "How many places?"
The little eunuch said: "A month ago, Mr. Fu Yao and Princess Weiyang bought thirteen large mansions in Xianyang City. At that time, the market price was thirty taels of gold per mu."
"Now, the market price is 500 taels of gold per mu. Therefore... after these thirteen houses were sold, they had this gold."
"This is only the first batch. There are still some jewelry and jade artifacts behind it, which are being transported. The powerful people of the Six Kingdoms did not bring so much gold, so they used some jewelry to count them."
Meiren Zhou murmured to herself: "A per acre...500 taels of gold? How is this possible?"
The little eunuch said: "It is indeed 500 taels of gold per acre. Everyone in Xianyang City knows it."
Meiren Zhou suddenly laughed: "My father and brother also have more than ten houses in his home. Isn't it rich enough to compete with the country now?"
Zhou Meiren’s father is Zhou Zheng. As for Zhou Zheng’s situation, many people have heard of it.
So the little eunuch looked at her sympathetically and did not speak.
Fu Yao said lazily: "That may not be possible. It is said that Lord Zhou Zheng sold all the houses to my master as early as when he was ten taels of gold per acre."
Zhou Meiren's smile suddenly froze on her face.
Fu Yao said again: "Later, Lord Zhou was unwilling to give up, so he lost all his money and bought countless small houses. He wanted to convert them into large houses. Unfortunately, his father had an order that all the houses were not allowed to trade with each other. Lord Zhou was already anxious and fell ill."
Meiren Zhou staggered a moment and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Meiren Wang next to her was quick-eyed and quick-handed, so she held her back.
Zhou Mei was popular, Ruoyusu, and said, "I... my head hurts a little, so I'll say goodbye first."
The two of them were covered in dust and planned to leave. At this time, Siqin came over with a pair of fine silk and said, "This is given by my princess. The princess said that if Mei Meiren in trouble, just speak. Don't be frozen or hungry."
