Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1026 Purchasing a Residence in the Kaiyuan Imperial City

The carriage sped along the road.

Because their original group brought with them the advanced technology and ideas of the Great Xia.

The roads were paved smooth and straight, so the speed of carriages and horses was much faster.

On the third day, the carriage arrived at the gates of the imperial city.

At an inn along the way, Chu Chen changed into clothes from this era, and at this moment he looked like a wealthy young master from the Kaiyuan Kingdom.

At the city gate, two soldiers conducted a routine check and then let the two men in.

After paying the fare and seeing the carriage off, Chu Chen went directly to the largest brokerage firm in the imperial city!

"Young master, would you like maids or guards? Would you like to buy a house or rent one?"

As soon as he entered, the broker grinned at Chu Chen, showing his big teeth.

Judging from Chu Chen's clothes, he must be a rich and noble person. He thought to himself that it was another day to make a fortune, and he had to serve him well!

Seeing the enthusiastic waiter, Chu Chen plopped down in a chair.

"Are there any good houses within this imperial city?"

Upon hearing that it was about buying a house, the broker's smile widened even more; this was a big deal.

"Yes, yes, yes! There aren't many mansions in the capital city that are worthy of a wealthy young master like you. You've come at just the right time, young master. There's a large mansion right here, right next to the palace!"

To be honest, this compliment made Chu Chen feel very comfortable.

"In that case, take me to see it!"

After saying that, Chu Chen stood up. The broker was also very quick-witted and waved his hand, and a luxurious carriage appeared at the door.

"Young master, please get in the carriage..."

Chu Chen was equally unceremonious. A rich young master, a spoiled brat, he had to have some dignity!

The carriage traveled deeper into the street and soon arrived at the gate of a huge mansion.

Led by the broker, the two went directly into the house.

After looking around, Chu Chen nodded in satisfaction. Putting everything else aside, the area it occupied was exactly what he wanted.

He intends to use this place to acquire Zijing, so spaciousness is a primary requirement.

To quickly gather these amethyst crystals, talented individuals are essential.

Therefore, how can you build a large team without a large venue!

On the carriage back, the broker asked, "Young master, what do you think of the house? Does it meet your standards?"

"It's so-so. It's spacious enough, but not luxurious enough!"

The broker's heart sank when he heard this. He thought to himself, "This is the best I can offer right now, and it's still not enough?"

You're trying to buy a palace, you son of a bitch!

However, as a middleman, I've encountered all sorts of customers.

"Young master, spaciousness is fine. As for luxury, it's just a matter of saying the word. I can get anything you need!"

"Hmm, that works, but it's a bit troublesome. Name your price and let's see!"

"Young master, it's not expensive for you, it's only 500,000 taels of silver!"

Holy crap, you call this not expensive? Five hundred thousand taels of silver? An ordinary person couldn't earn that much in ten lifetimes.

However, Chu Chen had no concept of money; there was just too much money in the Heavenly Domain.

But that doesn't mean he's stupid.

So he immediately started finding fault, complaining about the poor soundproofing, the location being next to the palace, and the soldiers being fierce.

Too far from the brothel, affecting the listening experience; and there don't seem to be many widows nearby. Thumbs down.

After this series of actions, the guy was completely stunned, thinking to himself, "Being rich really makes you reckless!"

In the end, Chu Chen acquired the large house, which covered an area of ​​about five or six acres, for 380,000 taels of silver.

Inside the brokerage, when the shop assistant saw Chu Chen return with a carriage full of silver after going out, his eyes widened in astonishment.

"Damn, they're so rich!" someone said. "Young master, the mansion feels a bit lifeless. The brokerage firm and the guards..."

"Take me to pick some out, preferably talents rejected by merchant families, understand?"

"Alright, please go ahead, young master!"

After saying that, he led Chu Chen into the back of the brokerage firm.

Once inside, it was similar to other brokerage firms that Chu Chen had seen, except there weren't as many staff.

If you think about it carefully, you'll understand. The world's population is already small, and it's already good enough that the brokerage industry can exist. Don't ask for too much.

When Chu Chen walked out of the brokerage, he was followed by a large group of people.

He was also lucky; it just so happened that the head of a very large merchant family had committed a crime and was beheaded.

The remaining servants were all sold to brokers and became slaves.

And so, Chu Chen spent nearly ten thousand taels of silver to get it all back.

The leader was a steward named Qinglin, who was skilled in business and had once been the manager of that merchant family.

The rest of the group consisted of four maids to take care of Chu Chen's daily life, ten of Qing Lin's apprentices, and more than fifty guards.

This allowed Chu Chen to quickly assemble his team.

"Young master, this house..."

At the entrance of the house, Qinglin pointed at the house and said with a sad expression.

"is there a problem?"

"Young master, you don't know this, this is the house we used to live in. Is this... is it God taking care of us?"

Chu Chen cursed under his breath upon hearing this, thinking to himself that this was the house where someone had been beheaded.

I wonder if moving in will also arouse jealousy and cause me to offend powerful people.

But can you really let others bully you in your own domain?

"Um... this isn't God taking care of you, it's me taking care of you."

Qinglin immediately understood after hearing this.

He and the others knelt down in unison: "This old servant knows his mistake, please forgive him, young master."

"Alright, get up, everyone. I'm not a petty person, but I'm not stupid either."

"As long as you serve me well, I will give you everything you want. Come on, let's go inside and clean this place up first."

After saying that, Chu Chen led a group of people into the house.

He took out another silver ingot and instructed his four maids to go to the market and buy some food.

Perhaps these people were treated inhumanely in the brokerage firm, which is why they all looked pale and emaciated at this moment.

Chu Chen understood: if you don't feed these people, how can they work?

So he instructed the maids to buy some good things.

Soon after, the maids returned to the mansion carrying large and small bags.

Then he opened the package right there in the yard and took out a bunch of steamed buns and dumplings.

Chu Chen stepped forward, broke one open, and then frowned and asked, "Why isn't there a single bit of meat in it?"

"Young master, meat buns are too expensive...this humble servant..."

Chu Chen shook his head immediately after hearing this.

I thought to myself, what a cruel twist of fate. These people, when they were in the master's house, they didn't eat meat at every meal, but they certainly weren't this frugal.
