The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 498

[Chapter 498 Net profit of 600,000 taels]

“Everyone, be quiet, everyone be quiet!”

The shopkeeper of Yahang saw so many people crowded together and couldn’t help but remind him.

However, no one heard me after shouting twice, so I had to shout louder.

This time, the house became slightly quieter.

At the same time, everyone’s eyes were also focused on the shopkeeper.

“Ahem!”

When the shopkeeper of Yaxing saw this scene, he cleared his throat, looked at everyone, and said: “Everyone, please listen to me. There are only so many houses in the capital, and they were all in your hands. After they were sold, there were not many left.

We searched around for these houses and paid high prices so that people would be willing to list them here.

After all, the increase in house prices during this period is visible to anyone with a discerning eye. It can be seen that there is still room for the price to rise, and not many people are willing to sell it.

You all gather here, you squeeze me, and I squeeze you. It is better to walk around the capital, maybe you can find a seller who is willing to sell. Living

here is not a problem, is it? “

“Hey, what do you mean, if we take care of your business, it will become ours in the end?”

“The worst is, we won’t buy a house from you in the future. What the hell is this!”

When everyone heard this, they all started talking.

Seeing this scene, the shopkeeper of Yahang hurriedly added: “Everyone, everyone, I didn’t mean that.

It’s just…”

He wanted to say something and opened his mouth, but he didn’t dare to say it.

Seeing this scene, the people next to him said disdainfully: “If you have anything to say, just say it, if you have anything to say, just fart, what are you pretending to be here!”

When the shopkeeper of the tooth shop heard this, he looked at the man and gritted his teeth. , said: “In that case, let me say it.

It was you who were rushing to sell the house, and now it is you who are rushing to buy the house.

You might as well think about it, when you sold the house, you were all Who bought it?”

When everyone heard the first half of the sentence, they all showed angry expressions. Is this a way of scolding us for our lack of discernment?

However, after hearing the second half of the sentence, the anger faded slightly, and was replaced by a thoughtful expression.

This is a good question!

Where have all the houses that I sold originally gone?

Everyone just thought about it for a moment, and all of them suddenly thought of one person – Fang Xiu!

It was the new Amber Fangxiu whom she had treated as a fool just a month ago!

Thinking of this, everyone’s faces became even more ugly.

A month ago, people talked about Fang Xiu with great interest.

The price of houses continues to drop, and you continue to use money to buy houses. What is this but a fool?

However, in just one month, they came to their senses and realized that they were the fools!

“Everyone, if I’m not wrong, your houses were all bought by Xin Anbo,

right?” Seeing this scene, the shopkeeper of Yahang said: “Think about it, how many people are there in Fang Mansion? Anping Uncle, Uncle Xin’an, Mrs. Anping, can they live in so many houses?

After all, Xin’an has such a sharp eye. He knows that the court will win, and he has seen what is happening now in advance, and he is waiting to make money from you. In

this

case, you might as well endure the pain, go see Xin Amber, give him a suitable price, and say some good words.

Maybe Xin Amber will be so happy that he will make less money from you. “

If you expect Xin Amber to be kind-hearted, you might as well hope that the wind blows at night and blows the house deed and land deed back into your hands!”

When everyone heard this, they all became a little unhappy.

Because they knew in their hearts that this time they would be treated as fat sheep by the new Amber.

However, they still had to deal with this fat sheep.

After all, a large family in the house must have a place to live in the capital.

The most important thing is that their industries remain in the capital.

Now, the imperial court has won a great victory. It is no exaggeration to say that within twenty years, there will be no more worries about foreign invasion in the north.

The entire Gyeonggi area will definitely usher in a period of development and become even more prosperous than it is now.

At this time, it was naturally impossible to leave the capital.

Since he stayed in the capital, his original mansion should be redeemed.

But, how can he redeem his own mansion from the new Amber?

For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought.

Everyone present had a gloomy expression on their face that could barely contain the word ‘sorrow’.

The merchants in the capital were worrying, but Fang Xiu was sitting leisurely in the warm pavilion of Yangxin Hall drinking tea.

I have to say that the tributes presented by this place are different.

Although I don’t know where this tea was supplied from or what kind of tea it is, it has a different taste when I drink it.

Taking another sip and savoring the fragrance of the tea, Fang Xiu couldn’t help but ask: “Your Majesty, what kind of tea is this? It tastes much better than the teas in the minister’s house. It has a refreshing fragrance in the mouth and endless aftertaste, and it is also in my heart.” Very comfortable.”

Emperor Chu was sitting in front of the desk. Hearing these words, he couldn’t help but raise his eyes and glance at him. His expression became a little strange and he said, “This is what I picked up from the tea stall on the roadside during my private visit in disguise. “What kind of tea is it? I don’t know.

I can’t remember the location of the tea stall.”

This is like saying nothing.

Fang Xiu felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.

After the embarrassment passed, I became a little more confident.

“Your Majesty, you are going to let me drink the tea from this tea stall while I am riding the horse for you?”

After hearing this, Emperor Chu said with a very indifferent expression on his face: “Why, I heard that this time you just resold the house. I made a net profit of 600,000 taels of silver, which is more than the amount of silver I have in my internal treasury. If you want to drink good tea, you have to come here to drink it. I

tell you the truth, not only do I have no money here, , there is nothing good, just this tea, from now on I will only drink a pot of tea from the roadside tea stall for one copper plate.”

At this point, he looked back at Liu Cheng seriously and said, “Did you hear that? “

Liu Cheng didn’t know whether his majesty’s words were true or false, so he was able to bite the bullet and said: “I will remember this.”

When Fang Xiu heard this, he felt as if someone had robbed him of his money, and he shouted: “Your majesty. , I am wronged, there must be some villain to frame me. How could those houses be worth 600,000 taels? I can’t put down such a large amount of money even if I put it in the house!

Moreover, I bought the house only to meet the merchants! The house was empty and no one lived there. I thought it was a pity that I just bought it. Your Majesty, you can’t listen to the villain’s slander!”

Emperor Chu glanced at Fang Xiu and was obviously interested in his ‘performance’. Immune, he asked, “No six hundred thousand taels?”

“Absolutely not!”

Fang Xiu replied solemnly.

After thinking about it, I added: “There are still three hundred thousand taels for the principal.”
