"Mr. Magistrate? Why is Ruda still engaged in real estate business?" Liu Mo was surprised, "Or was it reported and sold at a low price out of desperation?"
"Who is the county magistrate?" Lin Shiqi asked.
"This...to be honest, it is Chen Zhiyuan, the previous county magistrate."
Good guy, this is my house.
After careful questioning, the merchant finally spoke up.
It turns out that Chen Zhiyuan has been corrupting and bending the law for more than a day or two. In the past five years as the Rongcheng County magistrate, he has plundered a lot of people's wealth and wealth, and this house is only one of his three "luxury houses".
Because the dismissal was so sudden, the "properties" under his name had not yet been disposed of, so they were all confiscated and publicly auctioned.
Official houses, no matter how cheap they are, are not affordable for ordinary people.
Poor people can't afford it, but rich people don't dare to buy it!
First of all, wealthy families are superstitious and think it is bad luck, fearing that their children and grandchildren will be dismissed from office.
Secondly, it is also the most important point. Chen Zhiyuan's dismissal from office happened so suddenly that most people in Rongcheng did not know what happened and why Chen Zhiyuan was dismissed from office.
They were worried that it would be just "formalism". A year and a half later, Chen Zhiyuan would be reinstated.
If that's the case, then we will be in great trouble. If the county magistrate is reinstated, how dare a common man to compete with him for "real estate"?
After Liu Mo heard this, he was already laughing from ear to ear.
Is this another piece of pie-in-the-sky welfare given to me by Mr. Liu?
"Unlucky?" Others may find it taboo, but I don't.
You don’t know why Chen Zhiyuan was dismissed from office, and to be honest, I don’t either.
But, you can be sure that this guy will never turn over!
I, Liu Mo, pulled you down, dismissed your official position, and now I want to occupy your house. If you say yes, I will turn your woman into my woman.
Killing people and killing people's hearts is nothing more than that!
revenge?
Tsk tsk tsk...
Even if I kill Mr. Rongcheng, I won't be afraid of you. He is now a popular figure in front of the prefect of Jianglin, and he has a prince from the Great Xia Dynasty as his backer.
Since this house has been confiscated and auctioned, I, Liu Mo, bought it with legitimate means. Am I still afraid that you will cause trouble?
Putting away his smile, clearing his throat, Liu Mo asked: "Shiqi, what do you think?"
Of course Lin Shiqi could understand her husband's thoughts, and immediately said, "Husband, if you don't become an official, there is no such thing as 'unlucky'. But..."
After hearing this, the house seller was happy at first, and then frowned. Based on his many years of experience, it would be difficult to sell the apartment in his hand.
"I wonder if Mrs. Liu has any questions?"
"Does Chen Zhiyuan... live in this house permanently?"
"As far as I know, Mr. Chen rarely comes here. In the past two years, he has not come here twice throughout the year. On weekdays, he only orders me to clean and take care of things."
This is very nice, just like a second-hand house that is unoccupied.
Lin Shiqi nodded, "What about the price?"
"Haha, if it were another house, it would cost thirteen thousand taels at least." The merchant said. "Since you like Mr. Liu, how about seven thousand taels?"
When Liu Mo heard this, he immediately made a very unhappy expression, "Seven thousand taels? Farewell!"
Is seven thousand taels expensive? It’s not expensive at all!
In this location, there are three entrances and three exits, a kitchen, a garden, and eleven bedrooms, all at a discounted price of thirteen thousand taels.
But, just because it was Chen Zhiyuan’s property, no one except me, Liu Mo, dared to buy it!
If you don’t bargain in this situation, when will you wait?
"Mr. Liu, stay, please stay!" The merchant panicked. "How about six thousand taels?"
"I, Liu Mo, never like ink stains when I do things. Just give me a quick word, will you sell me a thousand taels?"
"One thousand taels!" The merchant's mouth widened, and he was stunned for a long time before he could react, "Mr. Liu, your offer is too low."
"Sell it or not?" Liu Mo spread his hands.
"This..." The merchant's expression was extremely complicated: "How about adding a little more?"
"Then one thousand three hundred taels, no more!" Lin Shiqi announced.
"Mrs. Liu, you..."
Seeing that his daughter-in-law was so cooperative, Liu Mo was overjoyed, "Haha, I, Liu, have joined the Lin family, and my wife has to fight for all important matters."
The subtext is, I also want to add some points to you, but unfortunately my identity does not allow it!
"Two thousand taels, this is the lowest price!" The merchant gritted his teeth and said, "If the price is lower than this price, Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu will be powerless!"
"Two thousand taels." Lin Shiqi said thoughtfully, "That's okay, but can you give me something else?"
"Mrs. Liu, what else do you need? This house is fully furnished and furnished."
"The furniture, beds and chairs are indeed complete." Lin Shiqi replied, "However, my husband and I have only been in Rongcheng for a short time. There are people cleaning the 'Jingshui Pavilion'."
The implication is that this house is so big, why should we hire someone to clean it? It also needs a servant girl to take care of it.
"Mrs. Liu, do you need me to introduce you to a maid?" The merchant was also very eloquent and went directly to Lin Shiqi.
"My wife means, can you..."
"This is inappropriate...the annual expenses of a servant and a maid are not a small amount."
"Haha, of course I'm not asking you to send a servant as a gift." Liu Mo said with a smile, "I want the price of hiring a servant, can you do it!!!"
"So it's this. It's easy to talk about. It's easy to talk about."
The business discussion was very pleasant, and the merchant finally agreed to recommend three maids, two servants, and two nurses with some skills to take care of Liu Mo's family at a house price of two thousand taels and a 40% discount.
The three maids were naturally arranged to take care of Liu Mo's three wives. Xin'er was pregnant, so she naturally needed someone to take care of her. Yuan'er is also a wife now, so it is natural for her to have a maid.
Lin Shiqi's original maid was Yuan'er. Now that Yuan'er has become the master, she also needs another maid.
As for servants, people are needed for cleaning up and down the house in such a big house, and for menial tasks such as chopping firewood.
Zhao Da Da's kung fu was right, but the whole family could not be guarded 24 hours a day.
It is also necessary to hire two nursing homes.
Li Xin had been with Liu Mo for so long and was considered loyal, so he naturally became the chief steward. Zhao Daze became Coach Zhao.
The room was quite sufficient, and Liu Mo originally planned to invite Xiang Wu and his wife to live in it so that they could take care of each other.
But the other party was unwilling to accept it anyway, so Liu Mo had to give up.
That night, Liu Mo sent someone to deliver the silver, and the other party immediately delivered the house deed.
Liu Mo traveled to Daxia Dynasty and successfully bought his first mansion. At this point, he finally had a "home" of his own in Daxia!
Since the house was well-equipped with everything, it didn't take long for Chen Zhiyuan to fall down. The merchant who sold the house had just cleaned it not long ago, and it was very clean. It was completely ready for move-in.
Liu Mo didn't do ink, so he immediately wrote an invitation, notified his relatives and friends in Rongcheng, and invited them to attend his "housewarming"!
Invitations were sent out, the banquet was served, and all the prominent figures in Rong City were present.
Everyone who went to the banquet brought enough "small gifts", but Liu Mo's hands felt weak after receiving them.
It is no exaggeration to say that just receiving the gifts is enough to buy another "luxury house".
After the dinner, Liu Mo and his three daughters-in-law moved into their new home in great splendor.
Regarding the new salt, the contract has been signed, and then we need to wait patiently for the Zhou family to go to Xiangshan County to transport the salt to Rongcheng.
Modern salt production technology can be said to be a dimensionality reduction blow in Daxia. The quantity is large, the tube is full, the product is white, delicate and has no odor, and the most important thing is that it is cheap.
The salt gang is now arrogant, but as long as the new salt is popular in Jianglin, the officials can take action to rectify it.
We have such high-quality and low-priced new salt, but we are still worried about the salt problem of the people, and are we still worried about your little evil forces causing trouble?
Thinking of this, Liu Mo was full of expectations.
Some time passed happily, and Xin'er's pregnancy reached eight months.
However, just as the family was waiting expectantly for the arrival of a new life, trouble came again.
Liu Mo invited the bodyguard who protected Su Xiaowan to come and report: "Miss Su...has caused a big trouble!"
