Chapter 150 Buy, Must Buy

"Monster, what monster?"

Wang Lang became interested instantly.

If the monsters Zhang San mentioned were similar to the strange beasts in the Shanhai Dahuang world, then Wang Lang felt that these monsters were the reason why he could come to this parallel world.

After listening to Wang Lang's question, Zhang San started talking directly.

"My Lord, I actually don't know what those monsters look like. Because in the past two years, those monsters have only appeared in other states, not in Chang'an City."

"But I heard from those who fled here and some soldiers who have seen monsters. Those monsters are extremely tall, some are even as big as a house. And they are all extremely ferocious. Every time they appear, they will devour hundreds or thousands of people alive."

"Those monsters are extremely powerful. Every time they appear, the imperial court will send a large army to destroy them. Every time, hundreds or even thousands of soldiers are killed or injured by the monsters."

Having said this, Zhang San stopped.

At this time, he looked terrified, and it was obvious that what he said about the monster was true. Otherwise, he would not be so scared.

At this time, Wang Lang smiled.

He was basically certain that the reason he entered this parallel world was to destroy the monsters that appeared in this world.

Wang Lang patted Zhang San on the shoulder and started talking.

"Okay, let's not talk about the monster anymore, let's continue talking about this house. One acre is 80,000 coins. You just said there are about 65 acres here, which means 52 million coins. If converted into silver, how much is it?"

Hearing Wang Lang's question, Zhang San said directly: "Sir, now one tael of silver is one thousand coins."

"Oh, then 52 million yuan is 52,000 taels of silver, right? How many taels are there in this pound?"

"My lord, one catty is sixteen taels." Zhang San said hurriedly.

After listening to Zhang San, Wang Lang started muttering to himself.

"One catty is sixteen taels, which is about the same as in the Tang Dynasty of the original world. At that time, one catty was not five hundred grams, but about six hundred and eighty grams. One tael is about forty-two grams."

"The silver in the Shennong Ding is ten jin per piece, which is five kilograms. If converted, it would be about one hundred and nineteen taels in the Tang Dynasty. Fifty-two thousand taels would be about four hundred and forty yuan."

After the calculation was almost complete, Wang Lang said to Zhang San, "Although this fifty thousand taels is indeed a bit too expensive, this place is indeed good. I don't lack this little money, so I'll buy it."

"But, Zhang San, you know that I have lost my memory. I don't know where I came from or where I'm going. I guess I don't have any household registration in Chang'an City. I wonder if I can buy this house in your Chang'an City."

After listening to Wang Lang, Zhang San said directly: "Sir, you don't need to worry about this. This house is a hot potato for both the county government and the pawnbroker. They are eager to sell this house as soon as possible."

"The household registration issue is very simple. I believe that Na Yaxing will definitely take care of the whole process in order to sell this house."

At this time, Zhang San didn't believe what Wang Lang said about losing his memory and not knowing where he came from or where he was going.

In his opinion, these are all excuses. The purpose is to make it more reasonable that he does not have a household registration.

Zhang San didn't plan to ask too much about this matter. He knew in his heart that the man in front of him might be a big thief. He couldn't ask too much, after all, the more he knew, the more dangerous it would be.

After a brief pause, Zhang San continued, "But have you really decided? Do you really want to buy this house?"

"To be honest, this house is really weird. Ever since the monster appeared two years ago, many people have flocked into Chang'an City. Now, almost all of the 107 neighborhoods in Chang'an City are overcrowded. Only Yongpingfang has the least people."

“Even the people who have lived in Yongpingfang for generations don’t dare to approach this house.”

After listening to Zhang San, Wang Lang did not hesitate at all. He said directly: "Buy it, I must buy it. Anyway, I don't have a place to stay in Chang'an City. I like this house very much."

After hearing Wang Lang's certainty, Zhang San stopped trying to persuade him.

After thinking for a while, he said directly: "If you really want to buy this house, you don't need to spend 52,000 taels. No one dares to buy this house. It has long been a haunted house."

"The current listing price at the pawnshop is thirty-eight thousand taels. If you bargain with him, I estimate that I can buy it for only thirty thousand taels."

"Oh, is that so?"

After a brief pause, Wang Lang said directly: "How about this, I will pay 35,000 taels to buy this house, and there is also the household registration matter. You go to the brokerage to negotiate, no matter what the final transaction price is. As long as the remaining silver is, it will all be yours."

Upon hearing this, Zhang San's eyes widened in surprise, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Seeing this situation, Wang Lang was really a little scared, and Zhang San just slapped him like that.

At this moment, Zhang San shouted excitedly.

"Big, sir, are you telling the truth? You are not treating the little one."

"Hahaha……"

Wang Lang laughed a few times, and then said directly: "I am not kidding you. I will offer you 35,000 taels. As for how much you can negotiate, that depends on your ability. If you can do it without spending a penny, then all 35,000 taels will be yours."

Hearing Wang Lang's affirmative answer, Zhang San immediately expressed his gratitude profusely.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. I will definitely have a good talk with you and will never let you suffer any loss. From now on, my life belongs to you. No matter if you ask me to go through fire and water, I will never frown."

Now Zhang San is really excited. He believes that with his eloquence, the price of this house will definitely be lower than 30,000 taels.

If you calculate it this way, you can earn at least five thousand taels.

These five thousand taels are enough to keep me from worrying about food and drink for the rest of my life. And I can definitely eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir..."

Zhang San was still thanking him profusely when Wang Lang interrupted him and said directly, "Whether you make a lot or a little this time depends on your own ability."

"Although you have a habit of stealing, you're still a good person overall. Just follow me and I will never treat you unfairly."

"Yes, yes, I will follow you carefully. From today on, my life belongs to you."

Seeing that Zhang San was about to continue to express his gratitude, Wang Lang quickly interrupted him and started talking.

"How about this, you go buy a carriage first and park it at the door. Then you go to the brokerage to negotiate the price. When you have almost finished the negotiation, I will go over and pay for it directly."

After a little thought, Zhang San understood what the purpose of the carriage was.

However, he did not ask further questions.

"Yes, sir. I will go get a carriage right away. Don't worry, the carriage I get is absolutely sturdy and reliable."

As he spoke, Zhang San turned around and walked towards the gate in the east.

Just then, Wang Lang spoke.

"and many more!"

Hearing Wang Lang's call, Zhang San stopped immediately, then turned around and bowed to Wang Lang and said, "Uncle, do you have any other instructions?"

Looking at Zhang San, Wang Lang said directly: "You are a smart man, you should know what the carriage is used for. This silver should be more than one hundred taels, you can just use it to buy a similar carriage."

As he spoke, Wang Lang threw the ten-pound piece of silver in his hand directly at Zhang San's feet.

With a bang, the bluestone slab under Zhang San's feet was cracked by the silver. At the same time, the dust on the ground flew up.

These ten kilograms of silver are quite a large piece.

One pound of silver is equivalent to about 4.5 cubic centimeters, and ten pounds is equivalent to cubic centimeters.

This is a very large piece indeed.

Looking at the large piece of silver under his feet, Zhang San was extremely shocked.

He really didn't understand where Wang Lang had hidden such a large piece of silver.

After being shocked, Zhang San said directly to Wang Lang: "Master, aren't you afraid that I will run away with this hundred taels of silver?"

"Haha... You are a smart man. Whether to earn this one hundred taels or five thousand taels, I believe you can make the right choice."

"Go quickly and buy a carriage. We still have a long way to go."

"Yes, sir."

After saying that, Zhang San took off his linen clothes, wrapped the silver in it and ran away with it in his arms.
