From the gate of heaven

Chapter 34 [10 taels in hand, new home in another world]

The so-called tooth shop is an intermediary.

Charge a certain intermediary fee to help buyers find the goods they want, and help sellers find suitable buyers.

Lin Ze obtained funds by selling gems, and the next step is naturally to buy a residence and settle down as a base for himself in this different world.

At this time, having an intermediary will undoubtedly save a lot of trouble.

It's nothing more than spending some agency fees.

"Mr. Lin, I am Shi Shanbao, the shopkeeper of Fengping Yaxing, what orders do you have?"

In the living room of the pawn shop, Lin Ze stood in front of a middle-aged businessman bowing his body and saluting with a smile on his face. The other party was introducing himself with a smile at the moment.

Just like the owner of the pawnshop was notified by the yamen servants and knew Lin Ze's identity, the situation is similar at the tooth shop.

After learning that Lin Ze, son of Perak, invited him, the shopkeeper of the dental shop came over without any delay.

This is status.

"Help me find a house that is spacious, quiet, and fully furnished, and I can move in as soon as possible."

"Budget 7000 to [-] taels."

Lin Ze put forward his own needs.

In ancient times, a house in an ordinary small county town plus a piece of land usually cost tens of hundreds of taels.

However, Fengping County is different. It is close to rivers and has been a wealthy place since ancient times. There are many large manors worth tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of taels inside and outside the city.

So Lin Ze put forward his own specific budget for buying a house, but said without pride that the budget is not limited.

Three to 7000 taels is enough to buy a mansion with a vast area.

When Shi Shanbao heard the words, he knew it in his heart.

I just received the news in the morning that Lin Ze, son of Perak, has come to Fengping County, and now it seems that he is going to settle in the city.

This is a big deal!

"Mr. Lin, there are about three houses that meet your requirements. You need to go and see which one you like."

Shi Shanbao sat down opposite Lin Ze and said with a smile.

"it is good."

"However, I still have a deal here that hasn't been completed yet. I have to wait a while to see the house."

Lin Ze agreed.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, you need to prepare a bit even if you come down in a hurry."

"Mr. Lin, do you need servants and maids? If you buy a mansion, some maids and servants can take care of it conveniently."

At this time, Shi Shanbao proposed again.

"can."

Lin Ze was kind and straightforward, and agreed directly.

Logically speaking, in order to facilitate transactions between the two worlds, it is best not to have outsiders around.

But this is a different world, and the social environment is different from the main world, which emphasizes freedom and human rights.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty had already abolished slavery, in this farming society with underdeveloped productivity, many things still needed to be done by people.

In order to meet the needs of life, but also to ensure the loyalty of maids and servants, so as not to reveal the secrets of the master's family, a lifetime employment contract of 50 or even 100 years came into being.

The government also stipulates that if a servant sues the master without asking the reason, he must first use ten sticks, and if the servant carries the master on his back, he must have fifty sticks.

Ten sticks is basically a serious injury, and fifty sticks is even more fatal.

In this kind of social environment, although there is no slavery in name, the master's family has actually formed personal control over the servant girl and servant.

Because they are counting on the master's family to eat, this kind of maid servant who is hired for life is naturally standing with the master, and will not ask more about the master's affairs.

In this case, it is not impossible for Lin Ze to hire some servant girls to make his life in another world more convenient.

As long as he doesn't directly open the Heavenly Gate in front of the servant girls, he can use a command directly to prevent them from prying into his secrets.

Moreover, Lin Ze also intends to build his own team based on this.

It can't be possible to expand the scale of transactions between the two worlds in the future, and still do everything by yourself, right?

It is very necessary to accept a little confidant.

"Mr. Lin, wait a moment, go down and go back."

Shi Shanbao, the shopkeeper of the dental shop, left after saluting, and went back to arrange maids and servants, and took the keys of the three houses that Lin Ze wanted to see next.
-
When Yu Qing, the treasurer of Honesty Pawnshop, came back with gold and silver, Lin Ze had already arranged the house and the servants.

Lin Ze followed Yu Qing into the quiet and private house behind the pawnshop.

Parked here is a carriage drawn by two horses, with two boxes, one large and one small, on it.

Yu Qing opened the box, revealing the gold and silver in the two boxes.

大周皇朝这边的金银汇率是1比10，林泽要求1万两白银，剩下的9万两白银便换成了9000两黄金。

1 taels of silver is 9000 kilograms, and 450 taels of gold is [-] kilograms.

The weight is quite heavy, but because the density of gold and silver is relatively high, the volume is not very large.

Under Lin Ze's gaze, Yu Qing arranged for his staff to help weigh the gold and silver again to confirm that the weight of the purchase price for the gems was correct.

The weight was correct, and Lin Ze checked the color again, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Although not as pure as the gold and silver in the main world, they are all official silver tribute gold with a metal content of around 90.00%.

"This is a gem, and we get money and goods."

Lin Ze handed over the gem and said with a smile.

Yu Qing took over the gems and began to check them to make sure that Lin Ze hadn't lost the bag.

At this time, a smile appeared on his face, and he bowed his hands and saluted, "Young Master Lin, it's a happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation, I will go first."

"Lend me this carriage first, and I will send someone to return it to you later."

After speaking, Lin Ze drove the carriage out of the backyard of the pawnshop and turned into the street.

Waiting at the door of the pawn shop, the six servants that Lin Ze had just hired immediately surrounded the master when they saw the master coming out, protecting the carriage.

Other passers-by on the street saw the battle and hurriedly avoided it.
-
The house that Lin Ze just bought is a seven-entry mansion with a price of 6000 taels of silver.

Located near the west gate of Fengping County, not far away is the West Wharf built near the Yangchun River.

The main body of the building is antique, and there are many rockeries, trees, flowers and plants in it.

It was originally the residence of a wealthy businessman, but the other party moved away from Fengping County after his business grew, so he sold the house.

After reading the several houses introduced by the agent, Lin Ze immediately decided that this was the one, and bought it after negotiating the price.

When Lin Ze drove gold and silver to the new home under the guard of six servants in a carriage, the other maids and servants had already cleaned up the entire mansion at this time.

And Shi Shanbao, who is the shopkeeper of the dental shop, is also waiting in the courtyard.

Right now, although the house and servants are fully equipped, Lin Ze, the boss, has not yet paid for it.

Next, it will be the harvest time after he has been busy all afternoon!
