Even with silver, he had never seen so much before; how could it not excite him, how could it not shock him?
And it was precisely because of this gold that the expression on his face became more and more shocked. One must know, in ordinary times, not to mention gold, he didn’t even have a few copper coins, but today was different. Just because of a reward from His Majesty, a room underground, he instantly possessed so much money.
At this moment, the entire person felt a bit dizzy. Although he had sold this house for three thousand taels, hearing and seeing are always different.
The shock brought to him by seeing this gold was indeed overwhelming.
If not for fearing that these things would be lost if they fell to the ground, he might have already sat down in fright.
The fat man opposite him saw this situation and chuckled, then spoke:
"Hehe, here is a full one hundred taels of gold, which, when converted to silver, amounts to a thousand taels. After giving you these, I still owe you two thousand taels of silver.
But rest assured, since I said it, I will definitely do it, and I won’t break my word. You can keep this gold first, and this house now belongs to me.
How about this, we can go out together now, I’ll personally get this gold for you, of course, once this thing is in your hands.
Then I won’t be responsible for the safety of it, whether you can hold onto this gold is not something I can control, so I suggest it’s best to get more people to be by your side for safety."
The fat man said these words, regardless of his intentions, mainly because he feared if anything really happened to this guy.
Then it would be unclear, people might think he had his men do something, you know.
At that time, it would be very unfavorable to him, oneself having spent the money, yet not gaining a good reputation, which was something he absolutely did not want to happen.
For this reason, he reminded the young man again to bring enough people, lest it was said before, this gold would surely drive people crazy.
The young man who was originally shocked by the sudden gain of gold started coming back to his senses and broke out in a cold sweat after hearing these words.
Indeed, if I’m not careful, this gold might be snatched away before it even warms in my hands. Not only could the gold be stolen, but my small life might also be at risk.
Thinking of this, he shivered uncontrollably, and at the same time looked at the fat man gratefully.
Then surprisingly, he reached out, trembling, handing the bag of gold back to the fat man:
"Th-th-this, Sir, how about you hold onto this gold first, later on hand it back to me. I’m truly a bit fearful of having this thing on me, I’m afraid it’ll be lost."
Hearing this, the middle-aged fat man chuckled again, secretly thinking, this boy at least had some awareness.
So, he was not polite and directly grabbed it.
Then, while putting it back into his pocket, he walked outside with the young man.
Meanwhile, he also opened his mouth, asking the young man:
"Haha, how about it, do you have any plans now with so much money?"
As he spoke, his eyes rolled around, clearly, he had his own little plans, after all, reaching his current status, it was impossible to not have brains or some dirty means.
The young man, hearing this, didn’t hide anything and laughed while scratching his head, responding:
"This money is really a lot, but there’s one thing I must do now, and that is to buy a house.
If not, I don’t even have a place to sleep, and having this money on me would be even more unsafe.
My plan is, after getting the money, to immediately look for a courtyard in the city to buy."
The fat man, upon hearing this, nodded and then asked:
"Do you have any idea how much you want to spend on the house?"
"Haha, I haven’t really thought about that, naturally, the less money spent, the better but for a house, it should at least be a courtyard house, if I can get a large mansion with three entrances and exits, all the better.
Of course, I plan to only spend a thousand taels on it, if it costs much more, I feel it wouldn’t be worth it."
Hearing this, the fat man turned his gaze to the young man, speaking without a change in expression:
"Oh, haha, it seems that’s quite a coincidence, to be honest, I happen to have a few vacant courtyards, if you’re interested, you can check them out later.
Let me say this, these courtyards are not only well-located but also the size is quite suitable, the smallest one is a courtyard house.
And if you want it, since we are in such good terms, I can sell it to you cheaply.
Check the courtyard house first, if you like it, it’ll be yours for just a thousand taels."
After saying this, the young man also showed a look of great interest.
If indeed that’s the case, it would be great, he could move in directly today.
This also spares him from carrying so much silver wandering around the city, after all, even with the current good security, there’s always a danger, and he wouldn’t have a place to cry if something happens.
If he could really get those courtyards, then he could just let the other party keep the money there, avoiding the trouble altogether, right?
"That sounds wonderful, how about this, Sir, let’s check the courtyard first, if it works, I’ll choose one, then you can send the silver directly to me, doesn’t that save some hassle?"
Have to say, hearing these words, the fat man secretly gave the young lad a thumbs-up. This lad indeed had foresight, vision, and meticulous thinking, which would save a lot of trouble.
And it certainly was much safer. Naturally, he had no objection to this, originally intending to buy these properties to resell and make some silver, and selling it for a thousand taels was fair, since he only spent six hundred taels on it initially.
If not for the huge changes in Capital City, the current price might not have even risen much.
With that, the fat man directly led the young man out of the neighborhood, and as the people outside saw them, they couldn’t help crowding around, wanting to ask something, but at this point the fat man waved his hand:
"Haha, everyone should stand guard elsewhere, see if others have houses for sale, don’t waste time on us."
Hearing the fat man’s words, everyone immediately realized an agreement was reached, and presumably, this guy had already bought the house entirely, right?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn’t help but shake their heads, sighing, the idea of saving money wouldn’t be realized.
With this guy ahead, currently trying to buy houses, the cost would start at three thousand taels at least, anything less, the seller wouldn’t budge.
"No, no, brother, we’re not trying to compete for the house, just wanted to ask, where’s this young man’s house? How many floors?"
