Chapter 17 The Golden Wind and Yulu Meet

After saying a word, the empty courtyard fell into absolute silence, and everyone's expressions seemed to have frozen, looking at Zhan Yi blankly.

Is it hard to buy a thousand gold coins?

Will you pay a thousand dollars?

As the saying goes, gold is priceless and jade is priceless. However, after years of chaos in the Chu State, even the Wuzhu coins cast in copper were scarce and not fully circulated and used. From the national treasury to the treasury, all of them were short of money. Most of the time, the general equivalent was cloth and grain. Therefore, it can be imagined that gold, as the highest level of currency, may not be able to see it once in their lifetime. It is a legendary thing with price but no market.

However, human wisdom is infinite. It doesn’t matter if there is no gold. It can be exchanged in equal amounts. Calculated by one tael of gold is about eight taels of silver, one tael of silver can be exchanged for about one thousand five hundred coins, and ten thousand taels of gold is 120 million.

This number is very scary, but it is actually not too many for top aristocratic families. After all, according to the "Book of Southern Qi? Biography of Wang Kun", the Guangzhou governor can take a walk around the city gate and accept bribes from merchants.

The brushwork of historical books may be a bit exaggerated, but the Zhan family in Qiantang is just an ordinary gentry, and the highest rank of the official position is just a fourth-rank minister. It relies on the hard work of the family for several generations to establish this large-scale industry in Qiantang. However, since the death of the old sect leader of the Zhan family, his situation was much worse than before. If he really lost more than 100 million yuan in Dou Qi, it would be much worse than losing all his fortune.

A kind-hearted person doesn't want him to tie himself up, or he doesn't like Dou Qi, and intends to give Zhan Qi a step forward, saying, "Don't be anxious, this matter is complicated, and both sides have different opinions. It's really hard to make a decision. It's better to go to Linwushan to find Du Jijiu to confirm it yourself..."

The Taoist in Yangzhou of Tianshi Dao is located on Linwu Mountain in Wu County, also known as Zuo Shen Youxutian. It is divided into two temples: Zuo Shen and Youxu. The temples are magnificent, the scenery is elegant, and the incense is very prosperous.

Zhan Qi said: "Thank you, this gentleman! I am not a big deal, nor is it a hot topic with a lot of money. Just because I just came back from visiting Du Jijiu, I heard him with my own ears that he gave the deer jerky to seven believers, including Dou Langjun..."

"Ah? The priest came to Qiantang?"

"I haven't heard it..."

"Maybe it's a misfortune, we don't know it's normal,"

Dou Qizhi glanced around arrogantly and said, "You have nothing to say now, right? Zhan Yi, you are tactful, just accept it. Tell me, how do you plan to compensate me?"

Zhan Qi turned sideways, reached out to make an invitation letter, and said, "Please follow me to the back. If Mr. Dou has any requests, try to satisfy them!"

Dou Qi snorted and turned around and went first. Zhan Qi apologized to He Langjun again: "This matter is all about the misconceptions of the store, which has caused the trouble to the Langjun. I will not collect the money for the past two days. Someone will be sent to the house later."

After saying that, he followed Dou Qi, leaving behind a majestic back that made everyone sigh: "I really believe in others! I'm not as good as I can!"

"People say that Qiantang Zhan Yi was the son of Gu, who was good at doing business as a merchant, but I think he was like Master Zhuan Sun, who was a sensible person, and was calm and self-employed, which made people feel disappointed!"

Zigong and Zhuansun Shi were both disciples of Confucius. Zigong was proficient in economics and had a great business career. His pomp and appearance were far superior to other Confucian scholars of his classmates. He was a smart person who could make money and enjoy it. Confucius liked him very much. Zhuansun Shi was on the contrary. This person was studious and thoughtful, and was a representative figure of Confucius' theory of "loyalty and trustworthiness". He was good at making friends. When he got along, he did not care about past grievances or other people's insults and attacks. He had a very awesome nickname called "ancient friends".

Xu You narrowed his eyes, and with his sensitive sense of smell, he had already smelled the scent of conspiracy. However, it was not up to me, so there was no need to worry too much. He smiled, said nothing, bowed to He Langjun, and turned around and left with Zuo Qi.

He Langjun raised his head and looked at the direction where Xu You left. The stunning eyes that had just been flashed away again, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

When he arrived in the yard, Qiu Fen stood by the door, ran over in two steps, and said, "Xiao Lang, why did you come back? Sister Lushuang woke up and said she wanted to see you."

"I went to the restaurant for a while, and I watched another excitement on the way back!" Xu You asked with concern: "How does Lu Shuang feel?"

"It's much better. I can barely get out of bed and walk a few steps. I just drank a bowl of squash soup."

"Well, you go first, I'll come later."

After passing the autumnal equinox, Xu You and Zuo Qi went to the middle house, knelt across from each other, and smiled and said, "Don't it's futile, right?"

Zuo Qiong said distressedly: "Is there too many rich families in Qiantang? It's so difficult to buy a better house... I looked at three more places in the morning, and it was suitable in all aspects. It was either the buyer was booked early, or the price was unwilling to sell, or the offer price exceeded one million, which was too unreasonable!"

It is not bizarre to sell a house for a million yuan, even for millions to tens of millions of yuan. Similar records of history are not written by Qiantang. However, Qiantang is not a thoroughfare like Jinling and Wuxian. There should not be many houses worth millions. I guess Zuo Qi was eager to seek a house in the past two days and was seen by others, so he deliberately raised the price to slaughter a fat sheep.

"Since it's hard to find, don't look for it for now, let's talk about it again and again. I suddenly realized that living in this Zhibin Building is also good. Maybe there will be a fun event in the past few days..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone in the yard saying, "Does Xu Langjun live here?"

At first glance, Xu You's expression changed slightly. After a moment, he returned to calm. He stood up and smiled and said, "Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here! Feng Hu, follow me to pick up the distinguished guests!"

The person who came was not as expected by Xu You. As expected, it was He Langjun who was just called a thief by Dou Qi. Xu You stepped into the atrium, overlapped his hands up and down, stretched straight forward, slightly higher than his shoulders, which was a salute.

He Langjun also saluted and said, "He Ru, in Xiajingkou, is here to visit him. I hope Mr. Xu will forgive me!"

"I'm so serious. The distinguished guest is here. The bustling shines brightly. Please come into the house and talk!"

He Ru's eyelids drooped and said, "I should disturb you!"

Xu You led him to go first, He Ru did not give in, waved his sleeves calmly, walking like a mountain breeze, quite handsome. When he entered the room, Zuo Yu stood behind Xu You with his hands, staring at He Ru, not daring to be distracted at all. He Ru did not care, or his eyes were tilted down, and he might not have paid attention to Zuo Yu's actions, and said, "Jun Meng said righteously just now, and Lu was grateful in his heart. I would like to thank him."

"It is normal for humans to speak out when I see unfairness on the road. What's more, I am the only one who speaks for the husband, so don't take it to heart!"

He Ru nodded, as if he was not good at talking, and he fell silent in an instant. However, Xu You grew up from various social occasions. His best job in life is that he can get along well with all kinds of people, but for some reason, he has no intention of warming up the scene. He also sat on the cushion and said silently.

After a while, He Ru suddenly said, "Do you know that this building will no longer belong to the Zhan family after ten days of the Bin Building?"

Xu You smiled slightly and said, "I am just a passerby. I will move in today and leave tomorrow. Who is Zhibinlou's surname? To be honest, I don't care!"

"If Mr. Xu is really a passerby, he naturally doesn't need to care about this matter. But if he plans to live in Qiantang, he must not ignore it!"

"Oh?" Xu You smiled even more and said, "Can you give me a reason?"
