Chapter 920: Sword Cultivation
Eight thousand taels, this is undoubtedly a huge amount of money.
When the snowflake silver in a wooden box was placed in front of the shopkeeper, they dared to believe that this girl had extraordinary energy. As for going through the formalities at the Shuntian Mansion, there was no obstacle at all, and it was done very quickly.
In the next few days, Hu Niu accompanied Wu's mother to see a few more houses, and the situation of the houses was good and bad. Although Wu's mother is still as picky as ever, and she doesn't have the house she looks at, the tiger girl has already started to buy, buy, buy, buy.
Yazi's attitude became more and more enthusiastic and respectful in the face of this super customer, which made Wu's mother feel a little surprised.
But I don't know if it's annoying, or if I suddenly lost interest in picking a house, Wu's mother no longer overstepped her responsibilities, and finally put the decision back into the hands of Hu Niu.
Without Wu's mother pointing fingers, Hu Niu's work efficiency has become extremely high. After soliciting the opinions of Lin Haoran and Wu Qiuyu, Hu Niu chose a house from the house she had already started, and immediately finalized the matter of the marriage room.
After choosing a new home, she chose to renovate it. In addition to some repair work, it is necessary to buy new furniture and ornaments, etc., and move in on the auspicious day of the zodiac.
Things have come to this point, but there are some branches.
Yang Chunlai and others came to Beijing to open up the market for steel products, and wanted to bring the trade to Beijing, so as to expand the influence of Cantonese businessmen. After learning about Hu Niu's house purchase behavior and learning about the house market in Beijing, I was immediately very interested in the house in Beijing.
In the end, after obtaining Lin Haoran's approval, the United Business Group decided to set up a real estate trading bank and officially intervened in the real estate market in Beijing.
At present, the United Trade Groups obtained a steady stream of silver from both the Japanese and Western routes, and although a large part of this silver was invested in the steel industry and shipyards, the silver accumulated on their books continued unabated.
The United Business Group is about to face the problem of spending money, and in particular, Lin Haoran strictly ordered the United Business Group not to purchase land and property on a large scale, so that the United Business Group will be in a dilemma of having nowhere to spend money.
Once steel products open up the market in the capital, they will inevitably have more silver in the capital, and the best way to this silver is naturally to find new investment channels.
As the capital of the Ming Dynasty, although there was a Mongol threat from the north, the safety factor of Beijing was undoubtedly the highest.
Although the expansion of the outer city has caused the real estate market in the capital to be impacted, with the increase in population, especially the continuous rise of overseas silver, the real estate in the capital undoubtedly has the effect of preserving and appreciating its value.
Tiger Girl's seemingly unintentional move to buy a house has had a far-reaching impact. After finalizing the project, the joint merchant group began to buy the house quietly, causing the price of the house in the capital to quietly rise.
The Lantern Festival is coming, and the whole capital reveals a festive atmosphere.
Lin Haoran, who was dressed as a scholar, rarely had a holiday, and did not choose to stay at home, nor did he choose to gather with friends, but chose to go to the Drum Tower with Hu Niu to wander around.
These days, he has been familiar with the affairs of the Shuncheon Mansion. Compared with the Guangzhou Mansion, the Shuntian Mansion is indeed more complicated, especially since it has most of the bigwigs' families and imperial relatives.
Although the public security affairs are indeed tricky, it is difficult for Lin Haoran, not to mention that he is far more confident than the ordinary Shuntian Mansion Cheng.
However, he has been faintly uneasy recently, always feeling that Huang Zhongda is going to make him a stir in the dark, and there is always an ominous premonition in his heart.
The capital is like a big whirlpool, which does not mean that if you have no quarrel with the world, you will be able to be peaceful. In essence, this is the opposite, it has always been a place where the weak eat the strong, and only the strong can survive.
The area around the Drum Tower is very lively, many scholars come here to purchase the four treasures of the study or books and other objects, and some wealthy merchants also like to buy antiques such as calligraphy, painting or famous posters here, so that this place is full of a bit of literati atmosphere.
Lin Haoran got out of the carriage in front of the drum tower, walked into the lively street, and walked into a shop with a tiger girl mainly selling swords. This shop is not too much, there are a lot of swords on display, and the business seems to be a little deserted.
The Ming Dynasty implemented a strict policy of regulating the purchase and sale of swords, but there were no restrictions on swords. It's just that the literati of the Ming Dynasty are more favored by Peiyu, and their response to these flashy swords is mediocre, resulting in a very flat market for swords.
"This son, what type of saber do you want, although this shop is small, but it has everything!" A clever shopkeeper greeted him and greeted him warmly.
Lin Haoran glanced at the swords on the shelf, but he didn't have the slightest feeling of excitement for these gorgeously decorated swords, and directly said to his intentions: "I'm not here to buy a swords, this is an object that this son found in the stall, can you help me polish it here!" ”
As he spoke, Lin Fu, who was accompanying him, took out the rusty sword, which was the same rusty sword he found in the City God Temple last time. When it came to today's trip, Lin Haoran decided to bring it over for polishing.
It's just that the rows are like mountains, and he doesn't know if the shop that sells swords has this business, but he actually came in with the attitude of trying it out.
This......
The shopkeeper looked at the rusty sword-like iron, but he wasn't sure if these people were here to smash the field or really come to repair the broken sword, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the shopkeeper who was hammering the abacus.
The shopkeeper is a little old man over fifty years old, with an amiable face, which is somewhat similar to Xu Jie's physiognomy, but the fate of the two is undoubtedly very different.
He noticed the movement on this side, immediately put down the abacus and walked over, his eyes fell on the rusty sword, and he saluted Lin Haoran: "The contemptible surname is Wu, he is the shopkeeper of this shop, is the son really not here to entertain this store?" ”
Lin Haoran didn't speak, but looked at Lin Fu next to him, Lin Fu immediately understood, threw a silver ingot towards the shopkeeper Wu, and said with a lot of money: "What nonsense!" How can my son-in-law have the time to entertain you, as long as it is dealt with, the silver will definitely be indispensable to you! ”
After Shopkeeper Wu took the silver, his heart was immediately settled, but he still pointed to the rusty sword, looked at Lin Haoran suspiciously, and said: "Childe, this sword is already full of rust, I'm afraid it has no value for trimming, it's better to buy another one!" ”
"This should be an ancient artifact, and it shouldn't have corroded inside! You help get rid of the rust and make the proper repairs, and the money will be less than you! Lin Haoran said lightly.
Shopkeeper Wu immediately realized that he was not a person who lacked money at all, and he was playing a forced style.
