Li Mo appeared in the east of the city with a land deed in his sleeves and a cloth bag in his hand, which was full of dried chili peppers.
In the end, he finally bought the manor for seventy-five taels of silver.
Although I didn't have any cash in hand, Liu Ping was present as a guarantee, so I just paid a fixed amount of ten taels and then gave the remaining silver taels to Su Jing.
After confirming that the title deed and everything had been changed, Li Mo asked Liu Ping for a cloth bag, and then the scene unfolded before him.
"Although there is definitely no ghost in the manor, I will ask Xue Song to go there later today to see...what is causing trouble! And I don't know what happened to Wang Changling. If we turn back tonight, he and
It would be best if Xue Song went there together."
While walking, Li Mo thought.
I have to say that today’s transaction was a huge profit.
But one should not be careless about the "haunting" of the manor. Ordinary people may not be able to find out the truth, but Xue Song and Wang Changling are both extremely masters. One is a mid-seventh grade, and the other is a mid-eighth grade. These two people will definitely be able to find out the secrets hidden in the manor.
.
After thinking about it, Li Mo's pace quickened a lot.
Now that the manor is done, we need to devote ourselves to making money. It will cost at least several thousand taels to rest in such a large manor. The income of Yibo House is far from being able to support it. We must think of other things.
Method.
.......
As everyone knows, just when Li Mo started thinking about what business to start next,
More than 700 miles away, in the Li Mansion in Xidu, there was a lot of excitement. An old man in his sixties, dressed in splendid clothes, was constantly instructing the servants in the mansion to wipe the walls and fences in the yard.
.
"Here...and here...have been wiped clean by me! Also...the dead corners around the walls have been cleaned, so hurry up and don't leave even a trace of dirt."
"Yes, sir!"
The old man is none other than Li Chen, the head of the Li Mansion, the seventh son of Li Longye, and the nephew of the current emperor Li Longji.
Li Longye had ten sons, and Li Chen was the seventh.
However, compared to several other brothers, his life was quite "shabby."
Among the brothers, the eldest brother Li Yuan was named King Anle, the second brother Li Jue was named King Rongyang, the third brother Li Xuan was named King Xue, the fourth brother Li Suicheng was named King Wu Xue, and the fifth brother Li Can was named King Wu Xue.
Conferred the title of King of Jingyang! Lao Liu, Lao Ba, Lao Ninth and Lao Ten also have a lot of family property in Xidu. Li Chen is the weakest one.
Moreover, although Lao Liu, Lao Ba, Lao Ninth and Lao Ten were not crowned kings, some of their heirs were officials in the court. Only Li Chen's four sons had no future and were all making a living by doing business.
Most of them are small businesses.
Li Mo is Li Chen's third son, a concubine!
Originally, Li Chen just wanted to have an ordinary sixtieth birthday. Unexpectedly, the five brothers who had been crowned kings happened to be ordered to come to Beijing to discuss matters. Finally, under the suggestion of King Anle, the ten brothers who had not seen each other for many years could take this opportunity.
We all gathered together, so we had this scene in front of us.
The birthday banquet will be held two months later, but Li Chen has already started to prepare in advance, which shows how much he attaches importance to this banquet.
"Sir, the back garden has been filled with lotus flowers again!"
While he was conducting the command, a steward came to Li Chen to report.
Although Li Chen lived a "shabby" life compared to other children in the clan, he was still very wealthy compared to ordinary people. This mansion covers an area of three or four acres, which is not easy in the West.
"good!"
Hearing this, Li Chen touched his beard and nodded slightly.
On this birthday, I cannot let myself be embarrassed in front of my brothers no matter what.
"By the way, sir, the nursing home you asked me to hire has been negotiated...but..."
After looking around, the housekeeper lowered his voice.
Originally, there were no guardians in Li's mansion, only ordinary servants, but in order to support the scene, Li Cheng had to temporarily ask him to find some martial arts masters to guard the courtyard. Only in this way could he not be so shabby in front of the kings.
"What's wrong?" Li Chen frowned.
Inviting Jianghu warriors to serve as guardians is an extremely important part of this birthday, and it must not be missed. There are no heirs in the family who are officials, so we can only think of countermeasures in terms of warriors.
"The strongest among these guardians is only a third-grade warrior!"
The housekeeper couldn't help but sigh.
Generally, the retainers or guardians of the royal family are all dug out from the rivers and lakes, and there are basically no temporary recruits, especially those masters who have been beaten to the punch by the major princes, and where can they be recruited now.
What's more important is that the Li family's financial resources simply cannot afford to support a master.
"Third grade...Third grade is not enough!"
Sure enough, Li Chen shook his head after hearing this.
I heard that most of his royal brothers' palaces raised sixth-grade warriors, and there seemed to be a few seventh-grade masters. Even if he couldn't find one of the same level here, he would have to find at least a fifth-grade one.
"But sir..."
The butler smiled bitterly.
"Is there no one in Jianghu? We are just renting this time! We don't need them to act in the palace for a long time. If Dongdu doesn't have it, you can go to other places to inquire..."
Waving his hand, Li Chen left no room for negotiation.
Even if we spend a lot of money this time, we still need to recruit experts.
"other places?"
Hearing this, the housekeeper was startled, suddenly thought of something, but quickly shook his head.
"Why are you shaking your head?"
Li Chen frowned.
The housekeeper is responsible for the foreign affairs liaison of the Li family all year round. He is very well-informed about the news in the world, so there should be a way.
"The master just mentioned something. I really thought of someone, but this person..."
The butler was still a little hesitant.
"But there's no harm in talking!"
"This person's name is Wang Changling...nicknamed Shi Mo! According to people in the world, this person appeared in Luoyang, the eastern capital, some time ago. It seems that he was subdued by the owner of a restaurant. If we can invite this person...
However, this person is a seventh-grade swordsman. Even if he can be hired, it will probably cost a lot of silver.
At present, the treasury is short of silver..."
The butler replied in a low voice.
Now there are only several thousand taels of silver in the treasury, and other things for the banquet need to be prepared. It is not cost-effective to invite Wang Changling.
"Seven-grade master? Okay! Okay! This is good! Tomorrow you go to the Western Capital in person and try to hire this person. Money is not an issue. We will give him as much as he wants."
Unfortunately, the housekeeper underestimated Li Chen's determination to hire a master.
Before he finished speaking, after hearing that Shi Mo was a seventh-level master, Li Chen made a decision directly after saying a few good words.
"Old...yes, sir!"
The housekeeper wanted to say something else, but seeing Li Chen's expression, he swallowed the words that came to his lips and nodded in agreement.
"You will set off tomorrow. Go early and feel at ease."
Li Chen said again.
"yes!"
"Master, there is one more thing..."
After receiving the order, the butler did not leave, but bowed and spoke again.
