After breakfast, I took Du Jiang and Xu Kun to Southeast Town.
I found a pawnshop in town. The owner was a man in his thirties.
"Madam, are you buying a house, a shop or a yard?" Yazi greeted Li Yun warmly.
"I want to buy a yard." Li Yun said to Yazi.
"Madam, do you want a courtyard with one, two, three or four courtyards? My brokerage shop has all of these courtyards." The broker said to Li Yun.
"Let's take a look at the courtyards with three or four entrances first." Since we want to use it as a blacksmith shop, a carpentry workshop, and also have people live in it, we must buy a bigger courtyard.
"Ma'am, are you free now?
If I have time, I will take my wife to see those courtyards." The escort said to Li Yun.
"I'm free, thank you for your help." Li Yun said to Yazi.
"No trouble, ma'am, let's go." After saying that, Yazi took Li Yun, Du Jiang and Xu Kun to see the yard.
We came to a three-courtyard house with two wells, and each courtyard had six rooms.
The yard is too small to be used as a workshop.
"Du Jiang, Xu Kun, do you think this yard is suitable?" Li Yun wanted to hear their opinions.
"Master, if you want to build a carpentry workshop and a blacksmith shop, this yard is not suitable." Du Jiang said to Li Yun.
There is no way to open a blacksmith shop here. It is too small and cannot accommodate the tools.
"Master, I agree with Du Jiang. This yard is too small." Xu Kun also said to Li Yun.
"This is what I think. Since you all don't agree, let's look at the next yard." Since they don't agree, let's look at the next yard first.
After listening to what Li Yun, Du Jiang and Xu Kun said, Yazi knew that they didn't like this yard and thought it was too small, so he found a bigger one for them.
"Since Madam doesn't like this courtyard, let's take a look at the next courtyard." Yazi said to Li Yun.
"Sorry for the trouble." Li Yun said to Yazi apologetically.
"It's not a big deal, ma'am, let's go." Yazi took Li Yun and the others to a courtyard with four entrances.
The courtyard with four entrances is much larger than the courtyard with three entrances, and there is a well in each courtyard.
There are six rooms in each courtyard, which is very suitable for living.
"Du Jiang, Xu Kun, what do you think of this yard? Are you satisfied?" Li Yun asked Du Jiang and Xu Kun.
"Master, this courtyard is much bigger than the third courtyard. I think it's okay, but there are too few rooms. It's a bit difficult to accommodate the workers and the blacksmith team." Xu Kun expressed his opinion.
If the master likes it here, it doesn't matter if they live in a cramped place. They are just a bunch of rough guys after all.
"Master, I think so too. If you like it, buy it.
As for the workers' housing problem, we will find a way to accommodate them.
"A bunch of rough guys, just a place to sleep is all they need," Xu Kun said to Li Yun.
“Let’s look at other yards. If we don’t find one that’s suitable, we’ll buy this one.
If there is a suitable one, we will buy it, what do you think? "Li Yun still didn't want to give in. If her people didn't live comfortably, how could they have the energy to help her do things.
"Okay, we'll listen to our master." Xu Kun and Du Jiang said in unison.
"Look, are there any other courtyards?" Li Yun said to his son.
"Yes, there is, but it's in the suburbs. I wonder if Madam likes it?" Yazi said to Li Yun.
"It doesn't matter. As long as it's big enough and meets my requirements, it doesn't matter where it is." Li Yun said to Yazi.
"In that case, let's go to the suburbs to take a look." Yazi asked someone to prepare a carriage and took Li Yun and the others to the suburbs to look at houses.
After a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped in front of a large courtyard.
"Madam, we're here. Shall we go down and take a look at the yard?" Yazi said to Li Yun.
Li Yun got off the carriage and saw an independent courtyard. There were no other courtyards around it, only trees and weeds.
"Madam, this yard is a martial arts school. The director wants to sell this yard because he wants to develop in the capital. Madam, let's go in and take a look." After saying this, Yazi opened the lock, pushed open the door, and walked into the yard.
“Madam, this is the entrance to the courtyard, this is where they practice martial arts.
If Madam wants to do some ironwork, this is the perfect place to do it.
There's a well over there, and four rooms where you can store your tools and materials." The guard pointed to the four rooms and said to Li Yun.
"I am very satisfied. Just as you said, this place is the most suitable place to set up a blacksmith shop." Li Yun also agreed with what Yazi said.
After seeing the first entrance, go in and see the second entrance.
The second entrance lacks a training ground, just a large lobby with rooms on either side and a well for washing. The extra rooms are perfect for storing finished products, and the lobby can be used as a workshop.
"Madam, what do you think of entering the yard?
This is a small martial arts training ground. The owner said that this is where senior and junior brothers compete with each other.
It's also suitable for a workshop, what do you think, Madam?" Yazi said to Li Yun.
"I like this entrance to the yard too. Let's take a look at the third entrance to the yard." Li Yun said to Yazi.
Then we came to the third courtyard, which was full of rooms.
There was also a well dug in the middle of the room, and a large stone table, which should be the place where the owner and his family ate.
This place is just right for living. If Du Jiang and the others move in, they will definitely have to bring two cooks to cook for them. This place is so remote. If those people with bad intentions know what they are doing, they will definitely come to steal things. Safety is essential. The question is whether the secret guards will come or the security team will come.
Let's have one secret guard and four members of the escort team come over.
Just arrange them and the cook to live in this yard to protect the personal safety of the two cooks.
"Madam, are you satisfied with entering the yard?" Yazi asked Li Yun.
"I'm satisfied. If you're satisfied with the fourth courtyard, I'll buy this yard." Li Yun said to Yazi.
"Madam, let's go and see the fourth courtyard." After saying this, Yazi took the lead and walked towards the fourth courtyard.
The fourth courtyard is full of rooms. This should be where the apprentices live. It is just right to arrange the workers and the blacksmith team here.
"Du Jiang, Xu Kun, what do you think of this yard? Are you satisfied?" Li Yun asked Du Jiang and Xu Kun. If they were satisfied, he would buy the yard.
"Master, we are very satisfied." Du Jiang and Xu Kun said to Li Yun together this time.
"Since you all agree, let's buy this yard." Li Yun said to Du Jiang and Xu Kun.
"Yazi, how do I buy this yard?" Li Yun said to Yazi.
"Madam, this yard costs 1,500 taels?" the broker said to Li Yun.
"Ya Zi, you must be joking. One thousand five hundred taels? You want this price in such a remote place?" Li Yun felt that Ya Zi was crazy about money. In this remote place, one thousand taels was expensive to her, and she wanted another one thousand five hundred taels.
"Madam, this price is required by the owner of the museum, and I have no choice." Yazi said to Li Yun.
"One thousand taels. If you agree, buy it. If not, I'll look at other courtyards." Li Yun set the price.
