Zhu Youfu took two steps and sat opposite her. The distance was far, and she couldn't hit him if she got angry later. "Fellow Taoist, are you really not going to regret it?"
"As long as it doesn't exceed my bottom line." Zhan Changfeng didn't even move his brows. He was so hesitant. The matter was not as troublesome as Pearl Island still had some weight in her heart. She would not give up unless there were special circumstances.
Zhu Youfu couldn't figure out where her bottom line was, so he picked up the ones first and said, "I can deal with the merchant workers who have been involved with the government. Fellow Taoist, don't worry, but there is one thing that is really beyond my ability."
"speak."
The word "Lazy and Determined" made people feel a little sad. Zhu Youfu thought carefully and said, "You should know that Marquis Jinyi also has some ideas about Pearl Island, but he doesn't want to simply expand his sphere of influence, but he wants to detonate the extinct volcano in Qishan Mountain. , luring the earth to fire, turning Pearl Island into his weapon refining field to manufacture weapons."
Zhu Youfu saw that she was silent and unfathomable, so he didn't care about anything else. He said honestly, "At first, I coordinated with the soldiers sent by the four lords, and we paid 150 million each, which reached the price that the Elders Council could help coordinate. They did intend to retreat, but the next day, General Suoyou under Black Snake attacked Pearl Island again, captured many prisoners, and asked me to spend another 100 million, so I can only pay compensation."
"After that, the three generals of the other lords refused to give in. They retorted one after another and occupied the inland sea and various ports. From time to time, they stepped ashore to attack towns and villages. Ships to and from Pearl Island were also hijacked by them, leaving Pearl Island isolated and helpless. , the compensation will cost you everything.”
Speaking of this, he said bitterly, "A guard who had been captured escaped from Suoyou a few days ago. He told me that when he was trapped on the seabed mining, he accidentally saw Jin Yihou going to Suoyu. At You's mansion, I also heard some supervisors chatting and saying that they don't have to worry about weapons in the future. I thought about it and thought that Pearl Island was forced to do this, and perhaps Marquis Jinyi was behind it."
"During that time, many merchants fled Pearl Island. Some merchants did not rent stores but had property deeds in their hands. When Jin Yihou came to my door, I learned that he took the opportunity to purchase a large number of property deeds at a low price, forcing me to sell Pearl Island at a low price. Dump it to him."
He was a little embarrassed, "I couldn't get angry, so I canceled the auction."
Zhan Changfeng twirled the ink jade ring on his thumb, "Smart, what next."
I don’t know who she is praising.
Seeing that she had no special expression, Zhu Youfu took a breath and said the most important thing, "After Pearl Island was photographed by you, as soon as I returned to the house, I was boycotted. Jin Yihou and most of the staff The merchants and residents who hold the house deeds in their hands demand that the island owner's mansion return the money they spent to purchase the shop cave, forcing me to give up the transaction with you."
"So you plan to complete the transaction with me, collect the money and run away?" Zhan Changfeng thought thoughtfully, "How many people are there and how much will it cost?"
"There were more than 300 people, and as the protest crowd grew larger, more and more people wanted to exchange their house deeds for money. Everyone wanted to make a profit before leaving. There were even a few who had already left. As soon as they heard that there was a profit, they sent people Come back and ask for money.”
Zhu Youfu said tentatively, "What I want is the original price when I bought it, which is nearly 100 million."
Zhan Changfeng didn't feel much, and focused on another point, "You said Jin Yihou's aides were organizing the protest?"
"Yes, the aide is in Heyuan City. I don't know the details. It's quite mysterious. I searched several times but couldn't find him."
Zhan Changfeng leaned back in his chair, half-smiling, "nearly 100 million is not a small amount. Even if I was rich, I would not scatter money like this. You can let me take over just by saying that you know how to deal with business workers who are involved with the government." Are you in trouble?"
"Fellow Daoist Zhan is a capable person, and 100 million is certainly not worth mentioning to you." Seeing that she really didn't seem to care much about losing money, Zhu Youfu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After complimenting him, he knew that he still had to pay some price. Otherwise, she would not accept the matter, "What conditions do you have, fellow Taoist, I will try my best to provide them."
"I don't object to you taking away all the inventory of pearls, utensils, herbs, etc., but you won't even leave anyone behind?"
"This" Zhu Youfu smiled, he still had to use those people to make a comeback, "Fellow Taoist, this is none of my business. People go to higher places and water flows to lower places. They are not my slaves. They don’t want to stay, and there’s nothing I can do about it.”
"Okay." She smiled lowly, like the winter sun, cold and gentle, with a hint of danger, "Then please ask the island owner to leave behind the methods of artificially cultivating pearls and growing herbs. These two things will be exchanged for your nearly 100 million yuan." It’s worth the trouble.”
Zhu Youfu closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then slapped his thigh suddenly, "Okay! It's settled. After I sort out the things and deal with the trouble outside, we will go to Huangdu Pavilion to complete the handover."
"Give the things to me first." This Zhu Island Master had thought about putting down his picks and hiding away early in the morning. He had prepared all the important things and took them with him, so there was no need to organize them.
Zhu Youfu was embarrassed, she really didn't leave any space, "Wait a minute, I'll get it."
Those methods and secrets were in his storage bag, but taking it out now would be a slap in the face. He opened a certain mechanism in the room in front of Zhan Changfeng and explained, "This is where I keep important items." The basement is built with rare materials that can isolate spiritual consciousness. If fellow Taoists like it, you can keep this place in the future."
This island master's mansion was built when Pearl Island was in its heyday. The workmanship materials used gathered a lot of essence. What's strange is that it was not built on the spiritual veins.
Zhan Changfengkou was full of admiration, "The architecture of this mansion is ingenious, and the layout is in accordance with Feng Shui. It can be seen that the island owner has put a lot of thought into it. The only flaw is that the energy is not very abundant. Why doesn't the island owner build it in this place?" On the spiritual vein.”
Zhu Youfu placed dozens of jade slips in her hand that recorded the methods of planting various herbs and cultivating clam pearls, and sighed, "This place used to be my old home, the place where my sister and I depended on each other since we were young. It's a pity that things are so different." Human beings are wrong.”
Zhan Changfeng praised, "The island owner is a nostalgic person."
The sister he mentioned should be Zhu Hongmei. It seems that this island owner's mansion is worth exploring.
Zhu Youfu didn't want to mention Zhu Hongmei, but his praise of Zhan Changfeng was very helpful, "Wherever, I just come back to stay occasionally, usually in the cave to practice and process official documents."
Zhan Changfeng did not respond to him again and checked the jade slip. The content was detailed and not incomplete. "Then I won't disturb you. I also ask the island owner to deal with the people causing trouble outside as soon as possible so that we can complete the handover."
She took the jade slip away, said goodbye and left.
Walking on the garden path, the big fat doll was very confused. He pulled her sleeve and asked, "Are you really going to buy back those house deeds for him?"
This is really not worth it. It is obviously a big hole that cannot be filled. If you repurchase one, thousands of people will come to your door.
"Feeling sorry for Lingshi" Zhan Changfeng lowered his head and looked at her, with a slight smile on his lips, "I only use money to solve boring things, and this thing happens to become very interesting. "
