Chapter 291 Buying a shop
King Ming clenched his fists with both hands, gritted his teeth and said: "Li Wang! What a Li Wang, when he needed weapons, I sold him iron ore secretly, otherwise he wouldn't have so many weapons! I protected him countless times when I was young, I didn't expect him to be so cruel, and he gave me such a big gift before the official start of the war!"
It wasn’t your people who went to sneak attack Li Wang’s army, so they made people angry.
You have sent troops to besiege others, so you can't expect others to show mercy to you.
You sold the iron ore to His Royal Highness Li Wang, and you are also conditional. Didn’t you also get other benefits from Li Wang’s fiefdom?
The general slandered in his heart, but said respectfully on his face: "Your Majesty, what should we do now? Shall we inform the other princes?"
King Ming said: "What else can we do? Their weapons are so powerful, and we don't know how much they have. We have to hold back and inform the other princes? What nonsense are you talking about! Maybe they already knew that King Li had that kind of weapon. I deliberately didn’t tell me. I have killed and injured so many people, they want to protect their lives wisely, just dream! Order, no one should disclose what happened in the barracks today, and anyone who violates it will be punished.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
…
On the other side, Nangong Anshan is busy buying a shop in the city.
Just as she had thought at the beginning, the news of the Li Wang fief being besieged eventually spread throughout the entire Li Wang fief.
After all, there are a lot of people on the border. Once a war breaks out on the border, some people who have no confidence in King Li's army will definitely flee, and news will spread everywhere.
As for the people outside the border, some people feel that Li Wang’s fiefdom is besieged by so many troops, and there is no chance of winning. They all want to sell their property and get the money in their hands temporarily.
Therefore, for a while, many people were exchanging money at the gate of the bank, for fear that if they arrived late, there would be no silver to exchange.
It’s just that the banks in Liwang’s fief are all owned by Liwang. Liwang can exchange them for them if he wants to exchange them.
The manager of the bank saw too many people gathered at the gate, so he notified the army to come over to suppress them, and immediately took away any troublemakers.
At this time, the steward stood at the door and said loudly: "Everyone, you have to trust our Highness Li Wang. Before the outside fiefs were in chaos, we are the only ones here. Although other princes are besieging us this time, Li Wang His Highness will definitely resolve the crisis, everyone must trust him."
"Even if you have successfully exchanged the money today, what can you do? If the fief is in chaos, can you really live in peace with so much money? Other fiefs are in chaos, can you still escape? And when the time comes There are robbers everywhere, with so much money, are you really safe?"
Everyone calmed down for a moment. Yes, they are running wildly now. Even if they have exchanged for silver, they will definitely be watched as soon as they come out. Whether they can return home safely is a problem.
Seeing that his words were useful, the steward continued: "Although there is a war now, our Royal Highness Li's army is not weak at all. Have you heard the news of his defeat?"
"No."
"We were just worried about his defeat, so we came here early."
"Yeah, it's normal for us to worry."
The steward said: "I know you are worried, but now everything is normal in King Li's fief, so don't think too much about it and go back. His Highness Li Wang will never let his fief be messed up."
The people present were still unwilling to leave.
Seeing this, the army next to them suddenly drew their knives, as if anyone who dared to riot would kill them.
The people had no choice but to leave reluctantly.
Regardless of whether the steward said that to prevent them from exchanging money, there is one thing he said is right.
Exchanging money now is easy to be targeted by people, and maybe you will lose your life because of the money.
Nangong Anshan saw that there was no excitement to watch, so she went directly to the dental shop.
On the way, she also encountered other things.
As Dugu Huanxu said at the beginning, the price of rice and noodles on the market is rising, and many people are worried that there will be no food to sell in the future, so they are hoarding food.
Merchants took the opportunity to raise prices, but there were still many buyers.
Walk to any grain store at random, and it will be overcrowded.
Nangong Anshan had stored a lot of things at home that she didn’t have in her space and needed to use at home, so she wasn’t worried about skyrocketing prices at all.
As for rice noodles, she has already unlocked her space system, so she can have as many as she wants.
Even if she has to feed and drink so many people every day, she is not worried.
As soon as she entered the dental shop, she asked, "Shopkeeper, is there still a shop for sale?"
The shopkeeper was taken aback when he heard the words, it is too late for those who have a shop to sell a shop, how could someone be stupid enough to come to buy a shop?
Is this kid here to make trouble?
The shopkeeper glanced at Nangong Anshan's attire, and said with a smile, "Girl, hello, my surname is Lai, and you can call me shopkeeper Lai. May I ask what kind of shop you want to buy? Big one? Small one? Yes." Residential? Just for business?"
Nangong Anshan said: "It's just an ordinary shop with a backyard, where people can live in the backyard."
This person didn't despise her just because she was young, so he can be regarded as a smart person.
Shopkeeper Lai looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, and said: "I have more than ten rooms of the kind you mentioned, and there are general patterns. You can take a look and see which one you like. I will send someone to take you to see."
"Did they all come to you to hang up?"
"Yes, the situation of the fiefdom is unclear, and there are indeed many shops."
Basically no shopkeepers.
Nangong Anshan looked at the bamboo slips. Sure enough, many people are holding a negative attitude towards the war and are planning to find opportunities to run away. Not long after the news came out, more than a dozen shops were about to be resold.
She looked through it for a while, pointed to twelve of them and said, "I want to see these twelve."
These twelve shops are all in Blue Cloud City, and the shop area is also very large, and the house type is also her favorite.
The remaining three rooms are very far away, and they are worthless at first glance. She thinks that holding them is not good for business, so she doesn't consider them.
Those twelve shops, even if she doesn’t need them temporarily, she can rent them all out.
If you are short of money in the future, when the war stabilizes and the price rises, you can even sell it to make a profit.
Shopkeeper Lai said: "Okay, I'll send someone to take you there right away."
After she finished speaking, she looked at a clerk in the shop, "Zhang San, take this girl to these twelve shops."
"Yes, shopkeeper Lai."
Nangong Anshan followed Zhang San.
