Inside and Outside World

? "This is the most prosperous commercial street in Guangzhou in this era?"

As far as Yan Luo could see, there were low and dilapidated houses, which could even be called "shantytowns", with plaques hanging from bamboo poles, with names like "Taichanglong" and "Xi Laifu", The main road in the middle is narrow to less than 5 meters, but the flow of people is not bad. A man in a long gown is pacing the street or talking with the shop owner.

Do as the Romans do, Yan Luo's hair will not be shaved, but the modern clothes of jeans, shirts and jackets are too eye-catching, he went into a clothing store to buy a new outfit.

Tailor-made suits appeared in China in 1879. By the time of the Republic of China during the Revolution of 1911, suits were regarded as the main dress. Foreigners and those who went abroad to do business or study abroad all wore suits.

Putting on a tie and putting on leather shoes, the shop owner stood aside and complimented carefully: "Young master is worthy of returning from a foreigner's country. He is really a good-looking talent. He is a dragon and a phoenix... No, it should be said that he is a Wenqu star who is different from ordinary people."

While taking out Dayang to pay, Yan Luo asked, "I just arrived in Guangzhou and I don't know if there is a place to rent a house?"

"Renting a house." The boss said quickly, "There are houses waiting for rent everywhere in this easy Guangzhou. I don't know what you need? Single room or multiple rooms, short-term rental or long-term rental, what grade do you want?"

"A more prosperous place, long-term rental, better grade, money is not a problem."

For Yan Luo, money is really not a problem. He has a lot of gems in his hand. Besides, the power of words "hidden" to steal, or directly hypnotized by nightmares and illusions are all good ways to get money.

Hearing what he said, the smile on the shop owner's face became more enthusiastic and he bowed his body and said: "Since you are not short of money, renting a house is worse than buying a house. Buying a house and selling it after you can't live in it is worse than renting a house for a monthly fee." Other people’s money is worth it, if you don’t mind, you might as well leave it to me, I have a friend who happens to be selling a house, a small bungalow in Henan, across the river you can see the Thirteen Banks, and many foreigners live there.”

"it is good."

The boss handed over the shop to the waiter, and directly took him into two rickshaws, and headed for the Pearl River.

The so-called Henan refers to the south of the Pearl River, which can also be called Zhuhai District. Yan Luo saw the unique scenery of Guangzhou in this era in the rickshaw. There are boats all over the Pearl River, and hundreds of thousands of people actually live on the river! They usually live in "houseboats" and have no home on land. The house they live in rises and falls with the tide of the river every day.

The boss smiled and introduced in another rickshaw: "Almost all the boats are on the shore here. Whatever you want to have fun, whether it's prostitutes, smoking opium, listening to ditties, or eating and drinking, you can go on the flower boats." Solve, this place is called Summer Garden by foreigners.”

"If you buy that house, it's close to the summer garden, so you'll easily meet foreigners, but you have to be careful, there are gangs everywhere in Guangzhou now, bandits, gangsters, wandering warriors, salt lords, fighting bandits, foreign bandits, everywhere. Extorting businesses to collect protection fees, opening brothels and casinos, alas... Those of us who run stores have to pay protection fees to more than 10 companies a month, and some gangs are lawless, attacking the government, and even dare to kill foreigners."

"The security team with foreigners in Zhuhai District is better. I hope Master Zhongtang will bring a new atmosphere when he arrives in a few days."

"Young Master, when you buy a house, you must buy a few servants and bodyguards. Otherwise, if you are single and rich, those gangs will not let a fat sheep go. They don't care if you are a great talent who has returned from studying in the West."

The boss babbled and explained things to Yan Luo, and arrived at the destination when it was getting late.

A 3-story European-style bungalow, called "Little White House" in this era, with a total of 13 rooms upstairs and downstairs. The main reason is that there is a large yard with a garden inside. Of course, they are all deserted now. Overgrown with weeds, there are some potholes in the garden, especially a large dirt pit about the size of a basketball court. If the house and the garden are left for more than a hundred years, the price will definitely be sky-high.

It is also a top-level bungalow in this era, and there is no saying that it cannot be sold. After all, there are many rich people in Guangzhou now.

"Why didn't this house sell?"

"Don't dare to lie to my son, this house used to have something to do with the revolutionaries."

The boss bowed and said: "At the beginning, Sun Yat-sen brought a group of people to Guangzhou, set up the Guangzhou branch of the Xingzhong Association, and recruited hundreds of people to join the organization. In order to cover their activities, a public organization called the Agricultural Society was specially established. We have all donated money to study the new Nongsang law, but we never thought they would rebel!"

"My friend rented this small building to them at the beginning. Later, when the revolutionaries were wanted, he fled to Shanghai in fear of being implicated. As for this house, which was the base of the revolutionaries, no one dared to buy it. The garden The big pit in the middle was left when several revolutionaries fought against Li Jiazhuo during the arrest, and Li Jiazhuo was the commander of the patrol battalion, the confidant of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Tan Zhonglin, and his martial arts were extremely powerful."

Yan Luo: "Strong martial arts?"

"Of course it's very strong. There are many martial arts practitioners in this mixed gang of three religions and nine streams in Guangzhou. For example, the Ten Tigers of Guangdong. Li Jiazhuo is the commander of the patrol. If his martial arts are not high, he can't control the situation. He is good at using eagle claws and iron cloth shirts. He Wulang gossip stick."

The boss explained, and then said: "I dare not hide anything from you, and I will tell you everything. If you like it, I will definitely give you a low price, which is much cheaper than other houses. If you feel troublesome, it's okay. I'm here. I know a few people in Zhuhai District, and I can rent another house for you today."

Of course Yan Luo is not afraid of trouble: "How much did you buy it for?"

The owner of the cloakroom shop was overjoyed. After all, he could get 10% of the agency fee if the house was sold. He quickly said, "Young Master, I really want it. It only costs 3,000 yuan! If it wasn't for this incident, the house would cost at least 500 yuan." A thousand oceans."

Yan Luo has arrived at Ocean 2000~www.readwn.com~ but he only has about 10 yuan on him, so he simply took out a large grain of magic crystal ruby ​​condensed by the magic power of the fire element.

In 1900, gemstones in China were rarer and more precious than those in the magic world. The boss was a little surprised when he saw a ruby ​​that was close to the size of a fingernail. He dared not eat this gemstone and could not recognize its value. He invited a professional appraiser from the chamber of commerce to come over overnight. , However, the variety of gemstones could not be identified, and finally brought to a foreigner's jewelry store, which was bought by the store for 600 pounds.

600 pounds is about 6,000 pounds, which is very valuable in this era, and 6,000 pounds is enough to buy a courtyard house in Beijing! Yan Luo suddenly became a small rich man. After paying 2,000 oceans, he had 4,000 yuan left.

After finishing all this, it was already the afternoon of the second day.

The boss left happily, and asked if the room maid and bodyguard would be willing to act on his behalf. Yan Luo refused, and the bodyguards were Zhan Lang and Mao Xiong. As for the maid... there is Xiao Ai and Joan of Arc.
