How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 104
[104.Chapter 104: Finding an Extraordinary Master]
This auction went very smoothly.
Even though it was raining heavily and the wind was as cold as a knife, more than 150 wealthy businessmen came, many more than yesterday.
It is still the worst store in the third grade, but the auction turnover is significantly higher than yesterday.
Seeing the heated atmosphere in the audience, Lu Gan knew that his game was successful.
Of course, among today’s wealthy businessmen, there are still two people who are his trustees.
When these two people go back to take inventory of the stores they bought, they will also find some ‘valuable’ things.
The same routine was used to pick up the leaked information, and it was ‘accidentally’ leaked and made known to a group of wealthy businessmen from other places.
In this way, it gave the illusion that people were picking up things every day, and Lu Gan did not believe that those businessmen were not fooled.
However, among the crowd, there was a handsome young man wearing brocade clothes who obviously had other intentions.
This man’s fiery eyes were all staring at Ruoshui, almost melting Ruoshui.
After Lu Qian thought for a moment, he remembered that this person was one of Fang Youxue’s suitors, and his name seemed to be Han Benchu.
“How can there be so much love at first sight, it’s just love at first sight.”
Lu Qian sneered in his heart, but didn’t pay attention to him.
When it was less than noon, the third-level shops and houses were auctioned for 77 to 88 cents.
Lu Gan harvested a total of more than 90,000 taels of silver.
That is nine thousand taels of gold.
Only a small amount of capital was recovered, but it was more than enough to open a small bookstore.
Lu Gan casually gave a thousand taels of gold to Ruoshui: “Go and buy wood, paper, and movable type printing machines. There are still manpower, you can also recruit. If it is not necessary, you don’t need to tell me your name.”
“Little girl .
It’s clear, Sir Lu, please rest assured.”
Ruoshui nodded lightly, understanding that Lu Qian wanted to be the boss behind the scenes.
Immediately, the two returned to Zhenfu Division, each busy with their own business.
Lu Gan continued to practice.
Now there are Qi Tianxia and Miao Gaoshuo outside the Zhenfu Division, Sun Hei and Shen Zishuang inside, and there is Xing Laodao in the prison to help watch.
He had nothing to do, so he naturally concentrated on practicing and studying the meaning of the fist.
This practice lasts three days.
However, nothing was gained.
What’s even more distressing is that the winter rain is still falling, and it’s still sleet, and a bit of cold wind is blowing, which is biting.
There is still no news about Jian Shisan from the county town.
But when Ruoshui and Cao Dun came to report, they both brought good news.
“Almost sold out?”
Lu Qian, sitting on the main seat in the main hall, turned around and asked.
Waiter Ruoshui stood aside, smiled lightly, and handed over a stack of thick gold tickets: “Yes, Mr. Lu, here are 48,000 taels of gold, all obtained from the auction in the past three days! There are still a dozen or so ships left. The boats, the battlefield, the stone yard, and a dozen shops in the best locations. In addition, the eight luxurious mansions owned by Xie Anping and the others were not auctioned. “
These are the most valuable.
According to Lu Gan’s estimate, it should be able to sell for thirty to forty thousand gold.
Still making money?
Lu Qian touched the thick gold ticket and looked happy: “That’s right! I’ll treat you with admiration after three days of separation! Ruoshui, you have grown a lot in the past few days.”
At this time, Ruoshui exuded an aura of confidence.
Compared with the previous weakness, it makes people want to conquer.
Ruoshui bowed and said gratefully: “I have to thank you, Mr. Lu, for your appreciation! If it weren’t for Mr. Lu, the little girl would still be the delicate and weak little girl with no strength to tie a chicken.”
These were indeed her sincere words.
After a few days, she presided over one auction after another and even set up a bookstore in person, which gave her a lot of mental experience, her mind became sharper, and she could easily discern the emotional changes of others.
Forty-eight thousand taels of gold was exceeded, and she definitely had a share of the credit.
Lu Gan was very satisfied with her and said with a smile: “Then you go back and rest first. You haven’t had a good rest in the past few days, and your face is a little haggard. If this beauty like you turns into a yellow-faced woman, I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it. This is a I’ll give you a hundred taels of silver to buy a cucumber facial mask!”
He said, taking out a banknote and handing it to Ruoshui proudly.
“Ah? Really? The little girl will go back and rest now. Thank you Master Lu for the reward.”
Upon hearing this, a trace of panic flashed in Ruoshui’s eyes, and he quickly took the gold ticket and bowed to leave.
After she left, Cao Dun took a step forward, bowed his hands and said, “Sir, we found him!”
“Oh? Really found him?”
Lu Qian’s eyes lit up when he heard this.
“Yes, this is the portrait of that man. After the subordinate passed by and took a look at him, he saw that he was wearing a green robe and a raincoat, carrying a fish basket behind his back, and holding a bamboo fishing rod in his hand. I was very impressed. I asked the painter to draw it when I got back.”
Cao Dun took out a piece of white paper from his arms and handed it over.
There is a rickety old man in green clothes drawn on the paper. The outline of the human figure is almost the same as the one on ‘Tian Xia Ji Jun’!
It should be him!
“Very good! You did a good job! Did he notice it?”
Lu Qian’s eyes flashed, and the depression between his brows was swept away.
After three days of seclusion, the eggs hatched, but he couldn’t even see the shadow of Fist Intent. If you find that expert now, you might be able to gain something!
“Sir, my subordinate just pretended to pass by and took a look, and did not find anyone to ask about this person’s situation.”
Cao Dun bowed his hands and bowed.
The Feitian Realm expert had heard about it for hundreds of miles. When he asked someone for information, he naturally alerted the expert.
“Okay! I’m smart enough and cautious enough! I’ll give you one too!”
Lu Gan was extremely generous and took out another banknote and threw it out.
Cao Dun had a look of joy on his face, respectfully took the banknote with both hands, and thanked him: “Thank you so much, sir! What else can you say?”
“No, you go and do your work first.”
Lu Gan waved his hand and said slowly Slowly turn the jade ring on your hand.
“Yes!”
Cao Dun bowed and retreated.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Qian stood up suddenly, walked out of the main hall, went straight to the backyard, and found Su Yingluo and the other two people roasting sweet potatoes in the house.
“Master Lu, come and eat it too! Oh, it’s so hot!”
Su Yingluo grabbed a sweet potato from the charcoal basin and accidentally burned her hand.
Lu Gan grabbed the sweet potato with his big hand, picked it up and put it aside.
Then, he placed Su Yingluo, Li Sanhua, and A Niu next to the warm couch one by one, sat in a row, and asked solemnly: “Do you want to practice martial arts?”
“I don’t want to, practicing martial arts is very hard and painful!”
Li Sanhua immediately Shaking his head like a drum.
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yingluo was angry at him and slapped him on the back of the head: “Idiot! After you practice martial arts, you can fight back when others hit you! They don’t dare to bully us! No one dares to arrest us and sell us! “
You hit me on the head again! I’m so stupid, you must have broken it!”
Li Sanhua rubbed the back of his head angrily.
“Hmph, I’ll pay you the price. Now, this is my sweet potato for you to eat.”
Su Yingluo stuffed the sweet potato in her hand and put it into Li Sanhua’s arms.
Suddenly, Li Sanhua’s anger dissipated. He took one in his left hand and one in his right hand, and started chewing happily.
As for martial arts training, he has probably forgotten all about it.
“What about you, A Niu?”
Lu Gan turned around and asked.
“Can you make money by practicing martial arts to buy meat?”
A Niu asked curiously with his innocent eyes open.
“Of course, you can practice well. Someone brings food and meat to you every day, just like me.” Lu Gan nodded and replied.
A Niu’s eyes lit up and he clenched his fists: “Then I want to practice martial arts!”
“Okay! What about you, Yingluo?” Lu Gan asked again.
“Hehe, I also want to practice martial arts, but I don’t want to fight and kill. I want to practice martial arts to run fast so that no one can catch me.”
Su Yingluo kicked her little feet and expressed her thoughts.
“Let’s go then, I’ll take you fishing and bring back a master!”
Lu Gan stood up and asked Lady Ji to bring three sets of raincoats and put them on the three little guys.
Then, he found another set of fishing gear and led the three little guys directly onto the carriage.
Before leaving, Lady Ji’s youngest daughter asked in a sweet voice, “Mr. Lu, will you come over to accompany me tonight?”
As soon as she said this, Lady Ji’s pretty face turned red and she didn’t dare to look down at anyone.
“Well, I will come again.”
Lu Gan pinched her red face, turned around and boarded the carriage.
drive.
With a clear drink, the carriage rumbled away.
“Yao Yao, you can’t just call Mr. Lu over in the future. Mr. Lu is very busy and has to practice.”
After the others left, Lady Ji squatted down and said softly.
“But mother, you also like to sleep next to Mr. Lu! Halfway through your sleep, you almost pushed Brother Sanhua off the warm bed! Is this what Sister Yingluo often says about duplicity?”
Xiao Yaoyao stared at her big eyes, her face filled with emotion. Full of doubts.
Uh-huh.
Lady Ji’s face was flushed with embarrassment, but she didn’t answer. She picked up her little daughter and went straight back to the house to cook the medicine.
There will be one later, probably around twelve o’clock.
