The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 150
[Chapter 150 Gold Turns into Silver]
The young man saw that Lin Tian was dressed like an ordinary person just like when they met in the inn, and thought that he was a countryman with a little money from nowhere.
He thought that Lin Tian wanted to come to the capital to develop, and when he heard that he wanted to buy the large courtyard with four entrances, he ridiculed him without any scruples.
It didn’t cost as much as 100,000 taels of gold, but the young man wanted to scare this countryman.
He thought to himself, he was just a countryman, but he had two such beautiful beauties around him.
Although the boy looked decent, it was useless to be handsome in the capital. You had to have money and power.
“When this young master reveals his identity, the beauty will be easy to get, hahaha!”
He thought narcissistically in his heart, and laughed unconsciously. Lin Tian and the others looked at him as if he was a fool.
“What does this house buying and selling have to do with you? Is your hand healed?”
Lin Tian said, and he didn’t forget to take a look at his hand. There was still a plaster on his hand. It seemed that he was a bit too heavy, and it would take at least ten days or half a month to heal.
When the young man heard this, he unconsciously took a half step back and put his hands behind his back.
But he stood up again soon, probably because he thought that he didn’t need to be afraid of Lin Tian at all.
He brought people here today and wanted to go to the inn to find trouble, but he didn’t expect to meet here!
“Don’t think that this young master is afraid of you. I will let you taste the taste of having your hand broken today!”
The young man threatened Lin Tian with an arrogant face, and was about to call the guards behind him to beat Lin Tian.
“Oh, you are so powerful today, a few lackeys are so arrogant?”
Lin Tian looked at him with a playful face.
This fool, don’t you look at where this is, and still want to take action?
Sure enough, just when they wanted to take action, several guards with knives ran over, put the knives across their chests, and shouted.
“This is an important place for the government, no trouble!”
The guards had to stop, and the young man remembered that this was the government’s territory.
Even if his father was an earl, he didn’t dare to cause trouble here, so he had to give up.
That can only be regarded as Lin Tian’s luck, but next time he won’t be so lucky!
“Just wait, there will always be a time to deal with you!”
The young master said to Lin Tian with a vicious face, and turned to leave.
However, he seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and smiled at Lu Wan’er and Gu Man’er with a flattering face.
“Why do the two ladies have to follow this poor boy? If you want to talk about poetry and songs with this young master, you can come to Sun Mansion in the east of the city to find me and report my name as the young master. By the way, I don’t know how to call you two ladies?”
The young master said with a smile on his face, but Lu Wan’er and Gu Man’er ignored him at all, and looked at the blueprints of the houses.
The smile on the young master’s face suddenly looked a little embarrassed, but it was not easy to turn his face directly, thinking to himself.
“It’s quite individual, but I like it!”
The young master did not stay any longer.
A gentleman’s revenge is never too late!
As long as Lin Tian settled down in the capital, there was still a long way to go. Why would he be afraid of not being able to get a poor boy from the countryside?
So
he left with a group of people. Lin Tian felt a little regretful. Did this boy leave so easily?
This was different from the dandy boys he had met before. It was really not fun to give up so easily.
But Lin Tian ignored him and continued to look at his house.
Thinking about how he had money to buy a house in the modern world before, the house prices were so expensive. I wonder how the house prices here are.
After a while, a man dressed as a scholar came out. He must have been looking there for a long time, and only came out after seeing the troublemaker left.
“Sir, do you want to rent or buy a house? Do you have a house you like?”
Lin Tian saw someone coming out, thinking it was the manager.
“This one, how much is it?”
Lin Tian pointed to the four-entry courtyard and asked the manager.
The manager took a look at the house, glanced at Lin Tian, thought for a while, and said.
“This house is not cheap, but this amount!”
As he said that, he raised one hand and stretched out five fingers.
“Fifty thousand taels of silver?”
Lin Tian asked. According to the current price, fifty thousand taels of silver should be enough to buy a house.
“No, it’s fifty thousand taels of gold!”
The steward retorted with a slightly sarcastic smile.
“What, fifty thousand taels of gold?”
Several people shouted in surprise.
Seeing this, the steward thought to himself that it was just as the young master said. How could these country people have the money to buy a house.
Even if he bought it at the original price of fifty thousand taels of silver, he might not be able to afford it. It would be better to scare him directly and raise the price later.
The young master would definitely approve of it if he knew it. Although his father did not hold an official position, he was a lord after all.
Maybe if he is happy, he can be promoted. If he says a few good words in front of the emperor, he can also get a better official position.
“Yes, fifty thousand taels of gold, this is the price before the government deducts taxes. You can take a look at this, this is only fifty taels of silver, this is cheap!”
He pointed to a firewood room in a house model and said.
Lin Tian saw that he was deliberately looking for trouble. It was probably instructed by the young uncle.
Lin Tian hugged the steward, and the two walked aside. Lin Tian said softly.
“Fifty thousand taels of gold, I will give it to you, do you dare to accept it? If you raise the house price privately and embezzle it, you will be beheaded if you are found out!”
Lin Tian said in a very calm tone and let go of the steward. Seeing that the steward was frightened and sweating, he was surprised.
“This guy actually knows all this, it seems he is not an ordinary person!”
The steward hurriedly changed his arrogant attitude and
said to Lin Tian: “I am blind and don’t know the real man, I hope you can forgive me.”
“What about this house?”
Lin Tian asked politely when he saw him like this.
“Look at my brain, I just remembered it wrong, this house only needs 50,000 taels of silver, not gold. Do you need to see the house, the house is not far away, it’s nearby.”
“Very good, let’s go and see the house.”
Lin Tian looked at him and felt disdainful.
One hundred thousand taels of silver equals ten thousand taels of gold, this house is not cheap, but the price is fair.
“Please come this way!”
The steward took Lin Tian and his group to see the house, and Lin Kang followed behind and couldn’t help asking questions.
“Master, you are amazing. You saved 50,000 taels of gold with just a few words. Please teach me. I can use it when I buy a house in the future.”
“What a joke. Just do your own thing first. You want to buy a house. You are so bold. You want to start your own business so soon?”
Lin Tian kicked him and made the two beauties behind him laugh.
They smiled like flowers and were very beautiful, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.
After a while, the group arrived in front of a house.
