After Li Qi asked Su Yingxiong to find a dozen accounting offices, he took a large group of people out for shopping.
After careful consideration, Li Qi felt that the best way to spend money quickly was to buy a house!
Money may be stolen at home, but it won't be stolen when turned into real estate, right?
Moreover, Daxia is very strict about land deed control. In addition, Li Qi is an official of the imperial court. As long as he buys a house and registers it, no one can take away his real estate unless he comes forward.
Originally, Li Qi was worried that he would be investigated if he bought too much real estate.
But when he learned about the amount of Lu Haochu's real estate in Kyoto, he only had one thing in mind: he was still too young!
That guy Lu Haochu has already bought two squares in Kyoto!
With such a lesson learned from the past, Li Qi no longer had to worry about spending money.
Walking along Guangling Street towards the West Market, as long as it was a house that he liked, whether it was a residence or a shop, he would wave his hand and say calmly: "Buy it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of accountants behind him began to get busy.
Some are responsible for negotiating the price with the land deed owner, some are responsible for handling the formalities, and some are responsible for paying the money.
It can be said that it is a one-stop service. It takes less than a stick of incense to buy a property.
The real estate in Kyoto is not as good as that in Sioux City. Every inch of land here is very valuable.
Li Qi did not focus on buying one neighborhood like Lu Haochu. He bought one in the east and one in the west.
He would buy a house at one time, a restaurant at another, and even a grocery store at his whim.
The millions of taels of silver he spent in one day shrank by two-thirds in an instant.
Part of the remaining silver was deposited in Baitong Cabinet Shop, and part was placed in the warehouse built in his mansion.
This is the first time in my life that I have spent money so arrogantly and so happily!
When Su Yingxiong learned that Li Qi had bought so much real estate, he was stunned for more than half an hour and could not recover.
A question kept lingering in his mind: How much money does Brother Li have?
I'm afraid he can't even think of the answer to this question.
"Fat man." Li Qi sat down next to Su Yingxiong with a glass of iced bayberry juice and said, "I will leave Kyoto in a while, and I will leave this place to you. You have to take care of my home."
"Brother Li, where are you going?" Su Yingxiong couldn't help but ask.
"Alas." Li Qi sighed, took a sip of bayberry juice and said, "Guangnan."
"Why are you going to Guangnan? That place is poor and remote. I heard that many people there don't even have clothes to wear." Su Yingxiong asked with a puzzled look.
"I don't want to go either, but the emperor's order cannot be violated."
"Did the emperor ask you to go?" Su Yingxiong said in surprise.
Li Qi nodded: "They said they wanted me to suppress the bandits."
"Suppressing bandits? Doesn't that mean we have to go to war?"
Li Qi nodded and patted Su Yingxiong's shoulder: "I have been away for a year and a half, and I don't know if I will encounter any trouble..."
"Brother Li, can't you talk to the emperor and ask someone else to do it?"
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said, "What do you think?"
Su Yingxiong made a sad face: "Brother Li, what will I do if you leave...?"
"What? You can't bear to leave me?" Li Qi asked.
Su Yingxiong's eyes were red, and he said with a look of reluctance: "Yes."
"Okay, you can come with me then."
"ah?!"
In an instant, Su Yingxiong's expression changed, from the reluctance just now to the shock: "Well...Brother Li, I think it's better for me to stay in Kyoto to help you look after your house. You said you would leave for more than a year."
, if there is no one to take care of the house, wouldn’t it be a mess when we come back? Besides, it’s useless for me to follow you there, right? Besides, I can eat well and run slowly..."
Grandma, I know you fat guy has no conscience!
Are you still acting in front of me?
Do you think you are Oscar?
Damn fat man, I'm giving you an advantage this time. The young master has finally decorated the house, but before he even had a chance to enjoy it, he let you enjoy it first.
"Okay, I'm just talking." Li Qi leaned on the chair angrily, "Hurry up, come here and give me a pat on the shoulder."
"Okay, Brother Li!"
When he heard that Li Qi had no intention of taking him there, Su Yingxiong smiled, which was so happy.
A few days later, the imperial edict finally came down.
Li Qi was granted the title of Lower Governor's Mansion, which meant that he was transformed from a sixth-rank casual official into a fifth-rank official with real power.
Before leaving, Huang Jin sent someone to find Li Qi and asked him to gather at his house.
When he passed by, Li Qi brought a precious sword.
He spent a lot of money to acquire this knife, mainly to suit his liking.
Before the imperial edict came down, Li Qi had already investigated Huang Jin.
Huang Jinzheng, a fourth-grade military attache, is forty-two years old this year. He joined the army at the age of fourteen and became an instructor before he was twenty. He has experienced hundreds of battles.
He can be regarded as one of the best military attaches in Daxia. He is good at using swords and has strong martial arts skills. He is also a first-rate master in leading troops in battles.
Originally, with his achievements, there was no problem in becoming a third-grade military attache.
It's just that this person is too war-loving, a war madman, and often does cruel things.
It is said that in a previous battle, he killed more than 10,000 surrendered soldiers.
Every time he goes out to fight, he basically doesn't listen to his superiors' orders and goes his own way.
For this kind of person, Li Qi naturally understands that if he wants to live a good life with him, he must first please him and then act like a transparent person.
He can do whatever he wants. Anyway, he just pretends that he can't see anything. He just writes down his actions truthfully and reports back when the time comes.
Anyway, he doesn't know how to fight. How he fights is his business and he has no control over it.
Arriving at Huang Jin's mansion, Li Qi thought he had gone to the wrong place as soon as he entered.
How does this place look like a general's residence?
It's completely a private house.
The yard was empty, not even a plant could be seen, let alone a rockery pond.
Entering the main hall, the interior is also shockingly simple, with only a few chairs and nothing else.
After Li Qi sat down, Huang Jin came over after a while.
Looking up, Huang Jin has a strong build, a round beard, a gray cloth suit, his hair tied back, and is about 1.7 meters tall.
The whole person looks quite imposing, especially the eyes, which reveal a cold light that makes people shiver just by looking at him.
Li Qi thought that this guy probably killed too many people, so he had such a strong murderous aura.
"Master Li, I have kept you waiting for a long time." Huang Jin walked in and said, and sat down on a chair casually.
Li Qi smiled and cupped his hands and said, "General Huang is joking. It's an honor for me to meet General Huang. Let alone just wait for such a while, it doesn't matter even if it takes a few hours."
