This time, the people from the City Lord's Mansion waited for a long time before returning.
But when he came back, he was all smiles for Harder. The city lord was happy to be able to earn more. He praised him a few times. How could he not be happy?
Naturally, he had a very favorable impression of Harder, who spent a lot of money.
He immediately ordered others to find the title deed of the manor, complete all the procedures, and hand it over to Hader himself.
Hader held the land deed in his hand, and after a moment of silence, he let out a long breath. A day before he had been a homeless man. But one day later, not only did he get his family back, but he also bought a new estate. Although he spent a lot of money during this process, spending a full 31,000 gold coins, it was still worth it to have a happy home again.
Moreover, after what happened this time, his wife Bella will definitely never have any contact with Mei again, which is barely a consolation.
"Perhaps Hader can give the Marquis some advice on what kind of manor he wants to buy."
Han Du and Zhu Biao looked at each other, and when Zhu Biao nodded slightly, Han Du said to Hader: "My request is very simple, as long as it is big enough, the bigger the better."
"Just this one condition?" Hader was shocked. When he bought a manor, he always had to consider the location, layout, attached land, style, etc. As for the size, he really didn't care much about it.
Harder didn't expect that Han Du only had such a request.
Han Du looked at him and asked with a smile: "What do you think? Do you still think these are three requirements?"
Hader didn't understand Han Du's three requests at all, but he didn't delve into it. He nodded and said, "In that case, I'll ask the Marquis to see if there is any manor that meets the Marquis' requirements."
Although Han Du was with Shi Si and could communicate with him, since Hader offered to help, Han Du couldn't refuse him. He nodded and said, "Then please ask for me."
Harder asked a few questions to the people in the city lord's mansion. The other party was even more happy when they heard that they were also going to buy a manor. After hearing that they wanted to buy a larger manor, they even touched Hader's chest and greeted him.
He immediately spread out the sheepskin map on the table again, pointing to a place and explaining it to Harder.
After hearing this, Hard turned to Han Du and said: "Master Marquis, they really have the largest manor. Not only does this manor have a huge castle, it is not much smaller even compared to the city lord's palace. Moreover, there is a large plain and beach, as well as a hill."
Hearing that the manor also included the beach, Han Du frowned immediately, took two steps forward, stared at the map and asked, "Where is this manor?"
Harder stretched out his hand and pointed it out on the map, "Here!"
Sure enough, as Han Du expected, the manor was not in Hulumos City at all, but in a bay to the west of Hurumos City.
Harder saw Han Du frowning and thought that he was not satisfied with the appearance of the manor. He quickly explained: "Although this place is not in the city of Horumos, it is not far from the city. Even if it takes half a day's walk, You can go back and forth several times. The most important thing is that this place is big enough. Not counting the beach, this plain alone is half the size of Hulumos, and there is also this hill."
Seeing that Han Du's expression still did not change, Harder said cautiously: "Of course, if the Marquis doesn't like it, you can choose another one in Hurumos City, but it will definitely not be as big as this."
dislike? How could you not like it! Han Du really liked it.
The castle of this manor is located right on the hill, overlooking the nearby city of Khrumos. It is typically condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In other words, the location of this manor castle is actually on a strategic high ground in the city of Horumos. Han Du didn't know how such an important strategic location was abandoned and was ready to be sold.
From Handu's strategic perspective, this castle should not have been a manor, but a strategic support point for Hurumos, and it was the horn of each other.
Moreover, the plains and beaches are separated from the city of Khrumos by hills. In other words, if Han Du buys this place, no matter what he is doing here, it will be extremely difficult for Hulumos to discover it. Because before Khrumos sent people, they would definitely be discovered by the people in the castle first.
The bay is also a treasure. Handu only needs to build a few plank roads to transform the bay into a simple port for water engineers to dock.
At that time, the navy in the port can not only provide fire support for the castle, but can also provide the Ming army with a perfect retreat when things go wrong.
Can such a strategically advantageous place be bought with just money? Han Du didn't even know how to say that the city lord was confused, and even said that he despised him for not having the slightest strategic vision. Anyone with a little bit of brains would firmly occupy such a place and not sell it at all.
"This manor is good and big enough. I am very satisfied with it. Ask them how much this manor cost. I bought it." Han Du nodded towards Hader with satisfaction. Just as the smile on his face was about to show, he was hazed. De hurriedly shouted stop.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Marquis. Since Mr. Hou wants to buy it, then Hader should negotiate the price with them for Mr. Hou. Mr. Hou, keep your current expression and don't move. It's up to me."
Hader gave Han Du a few instructions and immediately turned back to bargain loudly with the people in the city lord's mansion. Harder first explained to the other party that his friend did not want to buy this manor because the price was too high after all. Moreover, Harder also knew the situation of this manor. This manor was not just taken out today, but had been put up for sale a long time ago.
According to Harder's memory, this manor was sold here at least more than ten years ago. The reason why it has not been sold for so long is that the location of this manor is not good and it is not in the city. The second is that it is too expensive and ordinary people simply cannot afford it.
So Harder seized on these two points and used one ruthless move after another to bargain with the opponent.
The other party originally had given up hope on this manor. Now he finally met a fool who wanted to buy this manor. Of course, he would not let it go easily. But Harder's price was also cut too hard, which made the other party frightened and had to go to the castle frequently to ask the city lord for instructions.
In the end, the mysterious city lord even came forward in person to negotiate a price with Hader.
Harder is a big businessman in the city of Horumos, but he has never had the opportunity to meet the city lord in the past. He did not expect that he would meet him under such circumstances. He still had some instinctive fear of the City Lord. Faced with the City Lord's power, he first became weak and agreed to the City Lord's price.
Harder was a little frustrated. Originally, he could negotiate a lower price, but he didn't expect that the city lord would come forward in person, forcing him to agree.
Turning back to Han Du, he said apologetically: "Master Hou, the price of this manor is 500,000 gold coins. Now the Lord of the City is willing to sell it to Master Hou for 350,000 gold coins. Please let Master Hou decide." "
Han Du felt that Shi Si was standing beside him honestly without making any sound, so he knew that what Hader said was true.
He suddenly laughed, patted Hader on the shoulder, and comforted him: "You can help me save 150,000 gold coins, which is already very good. You don't have to pay back the fifty gold ingots you borrowed, even if it's you remuneration."
"How can this be allowed?" Hard quickly shook his head and refused, "I must repay the money I borrowed. As for the price, Hard didn't dare to deceive the Marquis. If the city lord hadn't come, I should be able to talk about it. Three hundred thousand gold coins.”
Three hundred thousand gold coins is impossible, and Han Du can see it even more clearly than Hade. Although the other party is very eager to sell this manor, he will never accept a price that is too low.
Otherwise, as the most noble city lord of Horumos, he would not come forward in person at all.
The price of 350,000 gold coins must be the other party's bottom line.
Moreover, Handu doesn't care about the price at all. Even if it costs half a million gold coins, Han Du will buy this manor without hesitation.
Now Harder can help himself save 150,000 gold coins, which is an unexpected blessing.
"This is your reward. If you are asked to take it, just take it." Han Du said to Hade in an unquestionable tone.
"Well...well, thank you, Mr. Marquis." Seeing Han Du's firm attitude, Harder bowed as he knew that Han Du's decision was something he could not change.
Han Du took a step forward and faced the city lord. He saw that this man had fair skin, which was completely different from the bronze skin of others around him. As for the facial features, Han Du couldn't tell them apart. Anyway, the city lord and the people around him all had curly, dark beards on their faces, and they all looked similar.
"Now that the price has been negotiated, let's talk about how to deal." Han Du faced the city lord directly and said with a smile.
After hearing this, Hard quickly explained to the city lord what Han Du meant.
The city lord was not in a hurry at all, and did not discuss the deal with Han Du. Instead, he asked about the origins of Han Du and others.
After hearing this, Hader turned to Han Du and said, "The Lord of the City wants to ask Lord Marquis where you are from."
Han Du smiled slightly and said, "Just tell him that we are from the east."
Hader answered the city lord according to Han Du's wishes.
But the city lord was not satisfied with this answer, and even said something angrily.
Hader continued to tell Han Du, "The city lord said that he had seen people from the ancient eastern country many times, but they looked different from the princes. He thought the princes were deceiving him."
Facing the angry city lord, Han Du was not worried at all and continued: "That only means that the people he met are not real Easterners. Tell him that we come from the easternmost empire, the Ming Dynasty!"
