The courtiers were angry, not only angry that their houses had been deceived by Li Shui. c8c8c Reading c, o was still angry that Li Shui's method was exactly the same as when he deceived the head of Guizhou.
The most annoying thing is that the leaders of Guizhou were fooled, but they, the learned people, were also fooled.
This is simply a disgrace.
It just so happened that the next day was the court meeting. In the court, there was almost no discussion on other topics, all of them were criticizing Li Shui.
The civil and military forces of the entire dynasty have not been as united as they are today for a long time. Even the most timid courtiers took advantage of the fierce public sentiment to boldly stand up and criticize Li Shui.
Ying Zheng was also a little helpless. Huai Guzi really couldn't rest for a moment. It's so good, why do you want to deceive the courtiers' houses and make them enemies on all sides, and everyone is accusing them. Is he happy himself?
When the scoldings of the courtiers subsided a little, Li Shui said with an aggrieved look, "Didn't you all do it voluntarily when you sold the house? And everyone couldn't wait, and the land deeds were exchanged in half an hour. Later I realized that my bid was too high. , twice the market price. Who deceived whom?"
The courtiers were speechless for a while.
Finally, a few people who reacted quickly said, "Since the banished immortal is not satisfied with the deal, then just return the house to us."
When everyone heard this, they immediately became energetic and nodded.
Li Shui sighed and said, "You can also retreat. But now the price of houses in Xianyang City has increased a lot. If you want to retreat, you can only retreat at the current market price."
Before Li Shui took action, the price of Xianyang's house was five yi per mu, but Li Shui's operation directly pushed it up to ten yi per mu.
When the courtiers bought the house and wanted to buy it back, they found that all the vacant houses in Xianyang City had been taken away by Li Shui. Therefore, it is difficult to find a house, and the price keeps rising, reaching 15 yi per acre.
Calculating this, if Li Shui returns the house at the current market price. In one day, the courtiers lost half their house.
They could still calculate this account clearly, so they were all very dissatisfied and beat their chests and feet in the court.
Li Shui said faintly, "My lords, do you still want to buy or sell by force? To put it bluntly, I will return this house to you. That's my love. If I don't return it to you, that's my duty."
"You are making a big fuss in the Council Hall over a mere piece of gold. You keep saying that you want His Majesty to uphold justice. What is justice? The law of Daqin means justice. The law of Daqin says, should I return it to you? I should return it at the original price. Give it to you? Is there such a thing in the world?"
Some courtiers said, "Master Huai, you are hoarding. This is against the Qin order. Since ancient times, profiteers have hoarded food and sold it at high prices during times of famine. This has caused countless people to be displaced. How cruel, Master Huai, do you want to imitate them?"
Li Shui chuckled, "Buying a few of your houses is just hoarding them. There are tens of thousands of houses in Xianyang City. I only bought nearly a hundred big houses. What does it matter? After I hoarded big houses, have the people of Xianyang City been displaced?" Are they because I don't have enough to eat? The prices of eight-eight-year-old students, and even civilian houses, have not changed."
"Because the people cannot afford to live in such a big house, they don't care who owns the big house. And you fat-minded courtiers who like pavilions and palaces will not buy a small house even if you sell the big house."
"Therefore, the idea of hoarding for a living can be put to rest. As for me violating the laws of Qin, it is even more nonsense."
The courtiers were a little afraid when they saw Li Shui looking like he was about to fight. After all, this guy's fighting ability was too strong.
Fei Zhai said with a sad face, "Exiled Immortal, according to the law, you don't have to leave this house. But according to human relations, do you have the heart to let me sleep on the street?"
Li Shui asked in confusion, "Why did you sell all the houses?"
Feizhai nodded.
Li Shui almost laughed out loud, "The fat man really tried his best to take advantage of me."
Fei Zhai looked embarrassed.
Li Shui looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and said lightly, "Who else sold all the houses?"
Seven or eight courtiers stood up.
Li Shui said, "Let's do this. For those who don't have a house, I can refund you a set at the original price. For the rest, don't pester me. If everyone breaks up with each other and quarrels, a few rebels will emerge. , that’s not good.”
The courtiers were all unhappy, and some said in despair, "Master Huai, as far as I know, you bought nearly a hundred houses yesterday. What do you want with so many houses?"
Li Shui said calmly, "It's nothing. I have been selling fairy wine, fairy pots, and fairy paper recently. I have accumulated some money. It is useless to pile up the money in the house, so I might as well buy some houses. Buy a house and land, and you will be blessed for your descendants."
The courtiers almost vomited blood when they heard this. They bought all the fairy wine and fairy pot. In other words, Li Shui earned their money and used their money to buy their house.
The pain in my heart is unbearable.
The courtiers were filled with hatred, but there was nothing they could do about Li Shui. They could not defeat Li Shui with both civil and military skills, so they had no choice but to admit defeat.
After the dynasty dispersed, these courtiers gathered together and talked about it.
Someone said, "Fortunately, you have got the gold. The housing prices in Xianyang City cannot remain so high. In my opinion, this Sophora Millet swallowed the elephant with a snake. I am afraid that after a moment of success, it will be unlucky."
Others asked with concern, "How can I say this?"
The man smiled slightly and said proudly, "Huaiguzi, why did you buy so many houses? It's just because you bought the cattle near Xianyang last time and gained experience. He thinks he can repeat his old tricks and defraud you and me of a lot of money." "
"He never imagined that you and I both have backbone. How could we sell it at a low price and buy it back at a high price, so that he would be so fooled? Therefore, he can only hoard this house in his hands and cannot sell it. .”
The courtiers all nodded and said, "Of course we are unwilling to buy the house back at a loss."
The man added, "Huaiguzi holds so many houses that cannot be lived in, so they can only be left vacant. And vacancy also costs money."
"It costs money to hire someone to look after your home and care for your yard. It also costs money when it's windy or rainy, and it also costs money to repair doors and windows. The rest is to take care of the flowers and plants, and sweep the yard. There are many things to do inside."
"It can be said that he bought these houses today and will spend money later. One house costs a lot, and nearly a hundred houses are definitely enough for him."
"Over time, the house became a drag. At that time, he was eager to sell the house. After all, if he stayed in the house for a day, he would lose one more point. In the end, he would inevitably lower the price, and I just need to wait and see what happens until the price drops below ten yin, then I can buy my house back."
The courtiers all suddenly realized this and said, "Wonderful, wonderful. Brother, my great talk has made me enlightened."
On this day, the courtiers were all taught a lesson without knowing it. It turns out that there is so much knowledge involved in buying and selling.
When walking out of the palace, many people saw Chun Yuyue.
Chunyu Yue is the most calm and relaxed person today because he did not sell the house to Li Shui. Such people are very rare nowadays.
In the eyes of the courtiers, Chunyu Yue was quite far-sighted and did not suffer any loss in the confrontation with Li Shui.
Some courtiers who were good friends with him walked over and said with admiration, "Dr. Chunyu, how did you figure out Huaiguzi's plot?"
Chunyu Yue chuckled, stroked his beard, and said, "I read poetry and keep my body upright. I have always been wary of villains like Huai Guzi. No matter he promises gold and silver, or is a high-ranking official with generous salary. I remain unmoved. How could he harm me?"
The courtiers were all filled with admiration and praised him a few times.
Chunyu Yue said it was pretty, but in his heart he was still very happy.
Yesterday, Zhao Gao's remnants came one after another with invitations to join him. Chunyu Yue had never thought highly of these people, so he stayed behind closed doors.
Precisely because he stayed behind closed doors, he had no idea what happened yesterday. Therefore, it was a coincidence that I was able to save several of my houses.
Whenever he thinks of this, Chunyu Yue can't help but sigh, "God still cares for gentlemen after all."
After analysis, the courtiers believed that Li Shui would lose his patience in a few months, drastically reduce the price of the house and sell it at a loss.
So they came out of the palace together with a gloating heart.
Leave the palace and return to your only residence.
While on the road, they suddenly noticed that there were many people holding bamboo signs on the street.
The bamboo cards in the hands of these people are made of a bamboo pole, with a frame tied with bamboo strips and then covered with fairy paper. On the fairy paper, there are several large characters, which say the former residence of Lord So-and-so. Thirty yi of gold per acre.
The prices of houses vary. The lowest one is no less than twenty yi, and the highest one is as high as one hundred yi. Careful people discovered that the price was divided according to the title of the courtiers.
Many courtiers laughed, this locust millet is a bit interesting.
The current market price is fifteen yi per acre. He sold twenty or one hundred yi. Is it possible to make a business like this?
Those holding bamboo signs were walking around in boredom on the street, and no one even asked about the price.
When the courtiers saw this scene, they were very happy.
The courtiers were gloating, but Li Xin was a little puzzled. He asked Li Shui, "Brother Huai, it seems a little difficult for you to make money like this."
Li Shui chuckled and said, "Money is just a number to me. I don't love money. I'm just pursuing my ideals and wanting to help the world."
Li Xin was sitting on the second floor of the Banished Immortal Restaurant, looking at the craftsmen holding signs on the street and wondering more and more, "This can help the world at the same time."
At the same time, the west gate of Xianyang City opened wide. There is a mighty team entering the city.
This team belongs to the powerful Wei Zhang of Wei State.
The ancestor of Wei's father-in-law was the royal family of the King of Wei. It's just that by his generation, it has been marginalized. Among the powerful, he is considered weak.
Fortunately, his territory is very close to Guanzhong. He was among the powerful people who were among the first to hear about the imperial examination. The moment he got the news, he immediately ordered the children of the clan to study practical strategies.
In Wei Zhang's view, the Qin Dynasty unified the world, and the six kingdoms were powerful. Relying on the grace of their ancestors, they could still be rich and powerful in more than ten years. But once the Qin Dynasty stabilizes the world, the powerful will eventually decline.
Therefore, the best policy is to actively enter the court as an official and enter the Qin Dynasty's rule.
It's just that the news of the imperial examination came a little late. Wei Zhang always felt that his children might not be able to compete with the powerful children of Xianyang City.
Just when he was struggling, suddenly news came from Xianyang that all powerful people who took the initiative to move to Xianyang could get extra points in the imperial examination.
When Wei Zhang heard the news, he immediately moved his family without saying a word.
He knew very well in his heart that Da Qin was a country of tigers and wolves, with harsh government decrees and no room for bargaining. Today, we are coaxing you to enter Xianyang City with the extra points policy. If you refuse to come, you will have to drink a toast instead of eating and you may have to come in a prison car next year.
Therefore, he worked hard all the way and was the first to arrive at Xianyang City.
Of course, hundreds of miles away, thousands of miles away behind him. There are still many powerful people who are migrating their families.
Most of them, like Wei Zhang, came here for extra points. 11
