Luoyang.
Yuan Manor.
At night.
In the study room.
The lights were like beans.
The kind-browed old man held a book in one hand and pinched his beard with the other. He was reading in a daze.
This was his favorite book," The Legend of Gongyang ". It was compiled using Cai Lun's paper from the Eastern Han Dynasty. The calligrapher Cai Zhonglang had personally copied and written it. It was the only copy left in the world and was truly a priceless treasure.
The old man was Yuan Kui, the head of the Yuan family, the Grand Commandant of the court.
At some point in time, an elegant scholar walked in from outside the study and bowed to Yuan Kui.""Uncle, just now Yuan Xi came to report that someone wants to buy Misty Villa in the suburbs, but the price is extremely low. He doesn't dare to make the decision and specially came to ask for orders.”
"Oh? Someone is actually interested in that place?"
Yuan Kui put down the book in his hand. He recalled the abandoned Misty Villa and couldn't help but turn to Yuan Ji. He asked curiously,"How much did that person bid?"
Yuan Ji laughed awkwardly." Uncle might not believe it, but this person only offered 15,000 Gold. It's 10,000 Gold cheaper than the price we registered with the Hidden Dragon Society!”
"This…"
At this point, Yuan Ji frowned."Uncle, the difference is really too big. I don't dare to make the decision, so I came to ask uncle's opinion. Are we selling Misty Villa or not?”
Yuan Kui pondered for a long time before letting out a long breath."Misty Villa has been abandoned for many years. It's useless to leave it there. It's better to sell it to supplement the people in the clan. 15,000 gold is not a small amount. If he can pay within three days, sell it.”
Yuan Ji bowed and cupped his hands.”
Yuan Kui waved his hand and picked up the book again."If that's the case, then sell it. You definitely can't hold such a hot potato in your hands.”
Yuan Ji nodded." I understand. I'll tell Yuan Xi."”
With that, he bowed and left the study.
Yuan Kui couldn't help but shake his head and laugh."Who knew that idiot would actually spend 15,000 Gold to buy that villa!”
*****
Misty Villa.
Cao Ang walked in the dilapidated manor. Some of the buildings were obviously unfinished and were half-finished.
Perhaps it was because the Yuan family had discovered that the mountain could not produce grain, so they stopped the construction here and withdrew all their people.
This time, it was good.
It was all Cao Ang's fault.
Next year, he was going to rebuild the house, which would save him the trouble.
This manor was very large, and it was surrounded by mountains and rivers. If it was built, it would definitely be a very beautiful classical garden.
He had to admit.
The Yuan family had good taste.
Other than the fact that it could not produce food, everything else here was the best of the best.
More importantly, when Cao Ang bought the villa and signed the contract, the system even rewarded him with an additional 3000 silkpants points. It was simply a huge profit.
Cao Manqing followed behind him and stepped on the yellow leaves on the ground. He asked in confusion,""Young Master, this is clearly a trap. Why should we jump in? That's more than 10,000 gold coins. How many things can we buy?”
"Humph! You don't know shit, don't spout nonsense!"
Cao Ang retorted directly. He looked around Misty Villa and let out a long sigh."This manor is simply a gift from the heavens to me, Cao Ang. It really suits my temper!”
"Just wait and see!"
Cao Ang turned to Cao Manqing and said,""In less than a year, I will make the Yuan family regret it and increase the value of this mountain by a hundred times!”
Double the value?
A hundred times?
Cao Manqing was stunned. Wouldn't that be more than a million gold? That's impossible, right? If it was really worth so much, why would the Yuan family sell it?”
"Of course!" Cao Ang said confidently. It's not worth much in his hands, but it's different in my hands. This year is about to pass. By this time next year, I guarantee that the Yuan family will regret it until their intestines turn green.”
"Ah?"
"Is it that magical?"
Cao Manqing was surprised." Young Master, what are you planning to do? Is there anything I can do to help?"”
"Of course!" Cao Ang nodded.
Cao Manqing was overjoyed. He patted his chest and promised,""What favor? I, Cao Manqing, will do my best to fulfill Young Master's orders.”
"Simple!" Cao Ang blurted out without hesitation," From today onwards, you will lead your men and wander around the mountain. If you can find a black stone, I will reward you with a horseshoe gold!”
"Really?" Cao Manqing's eyes lit up." Don't worry, Young Master. It's just a black stone. I'll definitely help you find it!"”
"Yes! Then I'll have to trouble you." Cao Ang said.
"It's not hard." Cao Manqing waved her hand excitedly.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and stared at Cao Ang."Young Master, if I let people wander around the mountain, what about the matter of purchasing food? That person called Ah Gui was already making arrangements. There should be news soon.”
"It's alright." Cao Ang smiled." I'm fine with the villa. They can't mess with me."”
"Alright then." Cao Manqing nodded.
*****
Ah Gui was very efficient.
In just half a day, he contacted more than ten sellers.
He divided the grain into three years of old grain, two years of old grain, and one year of new grain. Different grains had different prices and posted notices in the meeting.
Good fellow!
The merchants who often went to the meeting all went crazy.
Especially those who had Chen Liang at home, they were extremely excited.
They were originally worried that if this continued, the food would definitely rot. They did not expect that there would be a mysterious tycoon collecting the food!
This was really like someone giving a pillow when he was sleepy and a fragrant cake when he was hungry.
Everyone spread the news and sold all the grain in the mansion to the association. They had to transport it to Misty Villa in the suburbs in large carts. The money and goods were cleared without any hesitation.
This time, it was great!
One spread to ten, ten spread to a hundred, a hundred spread to a thousand, and a thousand spread to ten thousand.
In less than three days, the news of Misty Villa's mysterious rich man collecting grain had spread throughout the entire Luo Yang City!
Everyone was discussing.
"I heard that Misty Villa belongs to the Yuan Family. Could it be that the Yuan Family is collecting grain?”
"It used to belong to the Yuan family, but it was sold later. I heard that it's now the residence of a young master surnamed Cao.”
"There's actually someone buying that lousy place? You don't know, right? That mountain can't grow food at all. There aren't even many wild beasts.”
“嗐! The person who could do such a thing must be very smart. Otherwise, how could he buy Misty Villa? This kind of opportunity to slaughter a fat sheep was rare!”
"That's right, that's right. Anyway, I've already sold my grain. I've sold all of the 20,000 stones!”
"I also sold it for more than 10,000 stones!"
"In that case, Misty Villa has at least a hundred thousand dan of grain?”
"More than that, right? If you ask me, there should be at least two hundred thousand dan of grain, and it is very likely that there are three hundred thousand dan as well.”
"Hiss ~~~ Have you ever thought about what he wants with so much grain?”
“......”
