Only those foolish and rich refugees would be able to fork out a sum of silver to buy a place to settle down.
And it was because of this demand that a shop was set up beside the Clear Breeze City's magistrate's office to sell all kinds of real estate. Quite a number of refugees who had just come into the city and had some money would come here to look for a suitable place to live.
When Jun Wu Xie walked into the shop, there were already several lavishly dressed refugees standing inside, their entire bodies exuding an air of "I have money, come and fleece me".
Even after experiencing the days of being homeless and destitute, the faces of these people were glowing with health, their bodies adorned with gold and silver jewellery. A portly looking rich merchant dressed in satin was being served by two beautiful ladies, listening to the waiter's eloquent introduction.
The man had two hands and all ten of his fingers were adorned with large gold rings, looking no different from a fat sheep.
"Old Master Liu, these are some of the manors with the best topography in this area. Not only does it occupy a vast area, the buildings in the courtyard are also very reasonable. There is even a lotus pond in the courtyard and when the weather is hot in the summer, you can even enjoy a cup of wine by the pond. It will definitely be to your satisfaction." The waiter in the shop had already learnt to read people's expressions. Looking at this Head Liu who had just come into the Clear Breeze City today and was exuding the air of a local tyrant, he knew that they were going to have big business today.
"This place isn't too bad, but it's a little small. Do you have any bigger places here?" Old Master Liu said generously, looking like he was not in need of money, causing the two beauties beside him to laugh out loud.
He was originally a grain merchant in the Vassal Kingdom and when the Poison Men had started their rebellion, he had taken the opportunity to raise the price of grain, earning himself a huge fortune. However, the city he had been in had been taken over by the Poison Men and in order to save his life, he had dragged his entire family with him to the Clear Breeze City, spending quite a large sum of money before he was able to bring his entire family into the Clear Breeze City.
Having lorded it over for so many years, how could Old Master Liu possibly allow himself to be wronged? Since he had earned the money through blackmail, he did not feel the pinch when he spent it.
When the waiter heard Old Master Liu's words, his smile became even more joyous and he immediately turned his head to look for a bigger brochure of manors.
When Jun Xie walked into the shop, not a single one of the waiters in the shop came forward to greet him. Everyone, even those who had nothing to do, did not step forward to ask a single question.
Jun Wu Xie had just come out from the refugee camp and she was dressed in coarse hemp clothes. In addition to that, in order to sneak into the refugee camp, she had smeared quite a lot of black ash on her clothes and her face was also covered in dust. At first glance, she did not look like a rich person at all. Moreover, she was young and slender, and there was no one accompanying her.
Naturally, he became an unwelcome guest in the shop.
But Jun Wu Xie herself had not noticed the difference in treatment. Rather than having those people chatter endlessly beside her ears, she would rather take her time to choose the things she needed.
In any case, on the shelves of the shop, there were brochures of houses for sale. On each shelf, the area of the houses was roughly divided, so it wasn't difficult to choose.
Jun Wu Xie ignored the small picture albums that only had a single room left, and focused her attention on the wide expanse of the manors.
Just as she was about to reach out to take out a scroll, the scroll was snatched away by a waiter before her hand could even touch it.
