Chapter eight hundred and eighty seventh: small profiteers
The shopkeeper received Huang Yuchen's ten taels of silver notes and asked him to get the house money alone. The ten taels of silver are enough for the family of three to live well for more than two months, and the food and drink are all good.
However, Huang Yuchen didn't say anything, but just smiled and nodded at the shopkeeper, disguising himself as a sucker. This is a better method of disguise in such a place.
Then, Huang Yuchen and the other three left the restaurant with the half-grown child, entered the street, and followed the main street and walked into an alley.
"That's it." The child stood in front of a yard, turned around and said to Huang Yuchen, then took out the key from his arms and opened the door lock and walked into the yard.
This place is actually not far from the main street. Chikang City is not a big city, but the road is a bit winding, and there are many alleys in Chikang City, and there are only one main street.
Entering the courtyard, Huang Yuchen looked around and saw that it was a simple courtyard structure. The courtyard was not big and there was no backyard. It was two main rooms opposite the two sides, with two wing rooms on both sides.
The yard was covered with snow, and the large jar filled with water was filled with snow. It seemed that no one had lived there for a while.
"How long has it been since there was no one?" Huang Yuchen asked softly.
"My uncle moved two years ago." The child walked to the main room, gently opened the door, and said, "No one has lived there since then."
Huang Yuchen followed the child into the main room and looked around. The furniture in the house was complete, but there was a layer of dust on it, and the house was deserted and there was no popularity.
"There are two main rooms, and there are everything inside." The half-grown child said: "There are wood and kitchens over there, and there are two wing rooms opposite. There must be no problem with the residents."
"If you turn left, you will be a water shop. If you want to use water, you will be given away. If you leave this street, you will be a grocery shop and a grain shop, and you will always be open." The half-aged child introduced the courtyard to Huang Yuchen.
"If you want to buy clothes or something, you have to go to Main Street, where you have everything, but there are a few stores that are not open, just look for them."
After saying everything, half-year-old child stretched out his hand at Huang Yuchen. Huang Yuchen was stunned and asked, "What are you doing?"
"The shopkeeper said, please give me money by bringing you here." The child looked at Huang Yuchen, his cheeks reddishly.
"Haha." Huang Yuchen took out a silver note of five taels of silver from his arms and put it in his child's hand and said, "This is the monthly living expenses. You need to find some more people for me and clean the courtyard."
"Also, there is no charcoal in the house, and I need to buy it. If I am not familiar with the place, I will ask you to help me."
"That's fine." The child looked at the silver notes in his hand. It was actually five taels. If he wanted to live in such a small courtyard, he would not need three taels of silver for a month. He looked up at Huang Yuchen and said, "As long as the silver is enough, you can do anything."
"Hahaha." Huang Yuchen laughed and said, "Then you go quickly, you will live in today. Find some people to help me clean up. After finishing, there is still money."
"That's good." The child ran out immediately after hearing this.
Huang Yuchen stood in the courtyard and looked around, then jumped up and jumped onto the roof, and the surrounding courtyards also entered his eyes.
The yard he was in was at the outermost part of the street. Looking inside, it seemed that there were not many families on this street. At least the four or five courtyards nearby were empty, no difference from this courtyard.
Huang Yuchen jumped down and rushed to Jiying and said, "Senior, please go around and see which house has a place nearby and which house has no one, you must remember it clearly."
Jiying didn't say anything, his figure flashed and quickly disappeared from the spot.
When he swung his simple speed, Jiying was definitely the top. Even if Huang Yuchen increased his speed to the top, he was no match for him at all.
About a stick of incense, Jiying returned and said to Huang Yuchen: "Three streets, there are people, and the fourteen households are mostly concentrated in the other two rows. In our street, there are only people in the courtyard on the other side of the street, and there are no other ones."
Upon hearing this, Huang Yuchen nodded gently.
Chikang City is the largest city in a radius of 100 miles, but why there are no residents inside? As Fan Liao's base, it is unlikely that everyone will be forced to be requisitioned. Before that, something must have happened, causing these people to leave their hometowns.
"They left inconsistently." Jiying said again: "The snow in the courtyard has traces of being cleaned, and a large number of courtyards are vacant. It should be the past two months."
Just as Huang Yuchen was about to say something, a sound of footsteps came from his ears, and he smiled on his face and stopped talking.
After a while, the child brought seven or eight people to Huang Yuchen's courtyard and asked at Huang Yuchen: "I brought you the person, what do you want to do."
Huang Yuchen smiled and said, "I don't have snow in the yard, dust, firewood, carbon, water, and grain in the house. I have to trouble me to buy it for me."
"It's easy to say, money." The child said, stretching out his hand to Huang Yuchen again. Huang Yuchen smiled and took out another silver note of five taels from his arms and put it on the child's hand.
When they saw this silver note, everyone who followed the child's eyes lit up. They started working without waiting for Huang Yuchen's instructions.
The children brought the children to men and women, and they were mostly not young. It was very easy to sit down such daily life at home, but Huang Yuchen and Jiying Surong became the hindrance and were pushed out of the yard.
The three of them could only stand in the alley and watch the work was working vigorously inside.
"What are you going to do?" Jiying looked at Huang Yuchen, then looked at the people working inside, and some of them didn't understand Huang Yuchen's routine.
"Since you want to stay, you have to look like you are." Huang Yuchen whispered: "The more people you know, the more people you come, and we will be able to integrate faster."
"A few taels of silver are already a lot for them. If you spend money like this, you will be targeted." Jiying said.
"These small money will only attract people from the market. If they come to find me, it would be best. However, these people are residents who have lived here for a long time. If you want to figure out what is happening nearby, it is absolutely not enough to just listen to one person."
At this moment, Huang Yuchen's thinking was very clear. Chi Kangcheng was the first stop to return to the imperial capital, and he had to figure out the situation around him.
Who was the one who forced the recruitment in Chihong Mountain? How did the previous battles happen? What forces are there nearby? These are things he must figure out.
Moreover, when the Western King's Mansion entered the hinterland of Qitian, Huang Yuchen must find a way to destroy their pace of progress.
Since I cannot return to the imperial capital quickly, I can only do this now.
Zhuang Lexian is right. Without strength, anything will be regarded as a prayer rather than a request by others.
Soon, several merchants quickly cleaned up Huang Yuchen's courtyard. The child came out to Huang Yuchen and said, "I'm done, give me the money, I'll buy what you want."
Huang Yuchen was stunned when he heard this. The child in front of him actually transformed from a simple boy to a profiteer in such a quick time. This change really opened his eyes.
"Hahaha, you are really greedy." Huang Yuchen laughed and said, "The ten taels of silver I gave you are enough to buy this yard. I just asked you for some living things and cleaning the house. Five taels of silver is more than enough. What do you want?"
"Look." The child also smiled and stepped forward, saying, "I have eight people here, and everyone needs to share the money. You said you don't know where to buy everything, and you ask them for help. Buying firewood and carbon is not the same as buying food. Do you have to share the people?"
"Do you have to move back after selling it? Isn't it all the money? I won't ask you to ask for it too much. Give me five taels at a time and what else will you ask for later. I won't ask you to collect the money for errands alone. How about it?"
The child blinked at Huang Yuchen, and a cunning light appeared in his eyes, which made Huang Yuchen dizzy.
Usually he always beats others' quarrels, but now the child knocks his own quarrels. When he looks at the child's smiling face and the look that he regards himself as a money tree, Huang Yuchen suddenly smiles.
Take out five taels of silver notes from my arms and stuff them into the child's hand. Huang Yuchen said, "Okay, go quickly. In addition to what I said just now, I have replaced all the beds on the bed, throw away all the previous ones, and have new ones. Also, clean the wing room and wood room well, and don't miss any corners."
"Hi, don't worry, everything is easy to say when you have enough money." The child looked at the banknotes in his hand, laughed, put the banknotes in his arms, entered the courtyard and called three people to go with him, while the other people were still busy in the courtyard.
Huang Yuchen walked into the yard. Although he was cheated, these people were still very quick to do things. The snow in the yard was cleaned and piled up outside the door. The house was also cleaned. Everyone was quick to deal with and had a good time. It seemed that they had not made money for a long time.
Seeing these people, Huang Yuchen felt a little curious. He asked casually: "Friend, why are the courtyards nearby empty?"
"Hey, there are no people living nearby." The man said to Huang Yuchen while sweeping the floor: "You don't know, "Your Majesty, half of the people living in Chikang City are farmers and half military households. The nearby courtyards are basically military households. After war, they all have to go, so the courtyard is empty."
"War? Who to fight?"
"Then we don't know. That's what the city lord is thinking about. We just want to work and eat, and we don't think about anything else." The man in the dealer looked up and smiled at Huang Yuchen, and continued to lower his head to work.
It seemed that they could not ask any key information, so Huang Yuchen simply shut up.
After a while, the child came back with three people and two small cars, and he bought a lot of things.
