Chapter 158: If you don’t have money, you have to suffer
Zheng Shixian didn’t care about everyone, and continued, “Of course, if you don’t want to stay in this refugee area, you can also tell me and I will arrange for you to go to the other three District, but the land price in Zhongyuan City is still quite expensive. If you want to buy real estate or sell property, you still need to do what you can. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the master walked up to him holding a ledger in his left hand and a burr in his right hand.
Then he started talking, and the master shouted, "Everyone, a building in the East District is sold for 10 million taels of silver, a shop in the South District is sold for 8 million taels of silver, and a courtyard in the West District is sold for 5 million taels of silver. Everyone." Do what you can! If you need anything, come to me to register and pay, and then go with our officials to choose a place to stay. "
"Oh my God! Why is it so expensive?"
"This is really annoying!"
"As expected of Zhongyuan City, this housing price is really scary to me."
As soon as the master said these words, everyone was amazed.
Gu Chan sat under the broken wall and couldn't help but sneer and said, "After working on it for a long time, they are waiting for us here!"
"This is not a resettlement for our group of refugees! It's just an open robbery!" Zhang Wanshan cried with sadness and heartache.
Everyone else fell silent.
You know, after they escaped this time, there were only three to four thousand taels of silver left in a dozen carriages. Compared with the sky-high price of millions of taels, it was just a drop in the bucket.
Nowadays, it is difficult for them to live in civilian areas, let alone in commercial areas.
However, compared with them, the former wealthy households in Wuheng County were swarming up one after another at this time, because when they fled, they basically brought all their family assets with them. For them, this little money may not be enough. It's just a bunch of banknotes in their cash box.
As long as they can live better and live a better life with their families, they are willing to pay for it.
No, in less than an hour, the wealthy households paid ten million taels of silver one after another, and followed the officials to leave with their families and motorcade, heading to the rich area to the east to choose a house to settle down.
Those with slightly worse conditions also chose the commercial area in the south and the civilian area in the west, and then paid the money and left.
In the end, nearly tens of thousands of the tens of thousands of refugees left, and the remaining ones were all poor people, still sitting there gnawing on the bowl of rice porridge, with envy, jealousy, and hatred, and at the same time, tears fell from their eyes. It fell down and slowly seeped into the bowl.
In the end, everyone could only eat all the rice porridge mixed with tears.
The Shen family did not lack ten million taels of silver. Shen Wuji carried a large silver box over and handed over the ten million taels of silver. He quickly came over and urged Shen Sanfeng, "Dad, let's go! All the money has been handed over." Now, we have to go to the east to choose a building. This time, we want to choose a big building. We can’t lose the momentum of our Shen family. If we need to pay more, we will pay more.”
"No more, just choose a building to live in. You go and bring a box of banknotes to Gu Chan." Shen Sanfeng said coldly.
"Dad, if he is really capable, he should not ask for money from our Shen family, otherwise I will look down on him."
"That's right, isn't he attracted by the Mouse Fairy? Let him make his own money! Why should he spend our Shen family's money? Besides, he has never made any contribution to our Shen family. He wants us to spend our money It is impossible to give him flowers and support his people."
Shen Wuji and Shen Yao mocked each other one after another, saying they would not carry the box of banknotes to Gu Chan.
The ladies of the Shen family and the servants all stared at Gu Chan and the others, with expressions of reluctance on their faces.
As the saying goes, when people are in trouble, everything is true. At such a time, the first thing anyone thinks about is himself and not others. What's more, Gu Chan is not really close to them. It's just that Shen Sanfeng appreciates her more.
So in this case, they are definitely not willing to give money to Gu Chan. Shen Sanfeng became angry instantly, glared at everyone and shouted angrily, "I told you to bring her a box of silver."
"Okay, dad, you want to force me, right? In this case, I won't give him any money today. If you want to give him any money, you have to step over my body."
"Yes, grandpa, me too, just step over my body!"
"Old man, we have a whole family to support! If you can't give it to him, if you are willful, we women will not survive."
Shen Wuji and his son, the eldest lady of the Shen family, and everyone else in the Shen family began to threaten each other with death.
Soon everyone in the Shen family was crying together, and everyone was clinging to the silver box, not wanting to give Gu Chan a cent.
Shen Sanfeng's face turned pale when he saw it, and his fists tightened even more tightly.
Gu Chan smiled disdainfully, stepped forward and took his hand and said, "Okay godfather, we can support ourselves. You take everyone in the Shen family to the east and choose a building carefully. If you need more money, just make up for it." Money, don’t lose the Shen family’s momentum, just don’t worry about us.”
"Gu Chan, my godfather can't help you!" Shen Sanfeng said with tears in his eyes.
"It's okay, godfather. I understand everyone's feelings. After all, your Shen family has more than a hundred people to support. Now that you have just escaped from the tragedy, you have to be careful about every money you spend." Gu Chan endured the discomfort in her heart. explain.
When Shen Sanfeng saw how reasonable and sensible this child was, he couldn't help but shed tears of distress.
But Gu Chan still pretended to smile, reaching out and pushing him indifferently and said, "Go, godfather, when we settle down here and live a good life, I will definitely go to the rich area to find you and keep you company. By the way, let’s check the health of Jin Bao and his five leopard cubs.”
"Yes! I'll wait for you." Shen Sanfeng replied, wiping away his tears.
Then he endured his heartache and left in a carriage with everyone in the Shen family.
As soon as they left, Ding Sheng walked up with the elegant dog Huoju on his back and said to Gu Chan, "Shopkeeper Gu, thank you for your help earlier. I also bought a building in a wealthy area. Just take my family and leave first.”
"Magistrate Ding, please settle down for a while! When the Tiger Army returns to the border and takes back Wuheng County, you can still go back and be the county magistrate." Gu Chan said with relief.
Ding Sheng smiled bitterly, "I lost the border this time, and Kyoto will punish me with death. Even if it's a blessing, why should I be a county magistrate? I don't think about anything now, I just want to live our little life with my wife, then That's enough."
"Magistrate Ding, your situation is very small. Don't forget that your daughter is still studying at the Ministry of War in Kyoto!" Gu Chan reminded.
"Yes, I hope she can defend me in Kyoto! But I am also worried that now that the Tiger Army has been defeated and General Long has died, she will have a hard time." Ding Sheng said with a worried look on his face.
After speaking, he bowed to Gu Changen, and then left with his family and motorcade on official mission.
Gu Chan stood there, looking at the tens of thousands of refugees left, with a look of worry on her face.
The key is that she herself doesn’t know how they are going to live a good life in this refugee area!
