Chapter 1288 The Divorced Merchant's Daughter 10
After studying it for a while, Shu Jiao first smashed a giant gold mine that she had acquired earlier.
The value of the gold coins skyrocketed.
"Congratulations on your first recharge of 100 taels, 10,000 taels, or 100,000 taels..."
Congratulations! You've become the number one spender in this store, earning the title of the strongest spender in history. All items in the store will be 20% off for you!
Even though the mall clearly lacked its own independent consciousness, it seemed to exude an atmosphere of joy.
"Oh, there's this too?"
003 was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Host, you've overcharged."
It had a previous host that also used this system.
But at that time, the host was so poor that he only spent ten taels, and the mall commented, "Go home, the business is not suitable for you."
003 almost laughed himself silly.
"20% off, not bad."
Shu Jiao began browsing the online store.
The items inside were dazzling and varied.
For the first time, she bought a large island worth 50 billion, complete with its own defense system, pleasant climate, beautiful environment, and the ability to appear anywhere in this world.
Shu Jiao named it Miluo Island.
The situation on the island was almost identical to the "Details of Miluo Island" booklet given to Shu Xi.
Then they bought several construction teams and went to the island for team building activities.
They also bought ten top-of-the-line merchant ships, the kind equipped with cannons, and each ship was staffed with a captain, shipwrights, accountant, interpreter, guards, doctors, and others, totaling 350 people.
After buying it, I took a look...
Shu Jiao: ???
Where's my money?
She hasn't bought anything yet, and she already has less than a million taels of silver left?
"Didn't you spend it all?"
003 remained remarkably calm, saying, "This is still a 20% discount."
The host sister always buys the best of everything, so how come she spends her money so quickly?
Shu Jiao: ...
Forget it.
She raised her hand and deposited another gold mine into the mall.
Although she doesn't plan to spend it right now, she won't allow her account to be left with only a few small amounts of money!
"This magic gourd is a bit ugly, and I'm tired of looking at this eight-treasure glass lamp..."
Shu Jiao picked out a batch of miscellaneous inventory from her own stock, especially those shimmering fabrics. Although they were exactly the same as when they were first put in, Shu Jiao just felt that these things were stale.
It just so happens to be an ancient era, so I'll take this opportunity to get a new batch of goods.
"San'er, would this shop still work in the interstellar era?"
Shu Jiao suddenly asked with some curiosity.
"Why not?"
003 chuckled, "Isn't Xinghai also a sea?"
Similarly, isn't the cosmic ocean also an ocean?
This thing works well anywhere.
While chatting with 003, Shu Jiao arranged the chores and people, and then waited for the merchant ship to appear on the shore to confirm her identity.
As for Zhang Zizhao, there's no rush.
That little bastard probably only just received the news of the funeral.
On his way home after mourning his father's death, he will pass through Jiangnan, and at that time...
He will have his own way of dying infamous for all time.
The next morning, Shu Jiao led Shu Xi out.
"Ouch~"
"No wonder I heard magpies chattering this morning; it turns out we have a distinguished guest arriving!"
As soon as Shu Jiao and Shu Xi stepped into a large brokerage firm controlled by the government, a group of brokers greeted them with smiles, their manners incredibly sincere and enthusiastic.
after all……
The news that Shu Jiao had spent 120,000 taels of silver was already common knowledge in the brokerage circle.
What a new big client!
If I miss this, I'll be so angry I could bleed in the middle of the night.
"My house is currently short of managers and workers,"
He picked up the tea offered by the brokers, smelled it, and put it down. "Please introduce me to the people you have on hand."
Are you short-staffed?
It's good that we're short-staffed!
What they have in abundance is manpower.
"Boss! You've come to the right person."
A male broker quickly stepped forward, saying, "I have an old steward who used to be my master. He was a prefect. But later, because the prefect committed a crime and was exiled, his property was confiscated, and that's how he ended up in my hands."
"Don't listen to him, boss."
The female broker next to him shook her head. "If that steward were truly capable, he would have been snapped up by another employer long ago. Back when he was in the governor's mansion, he was a sycophant and a scoundrel; nobody wanted him at all."
"I have a head butler under my command..."
"Master, I have three embroiderers here, from Jiangnan, their skills are superb..."
"I have two guards here who are skilled in martial arts..."
“I’m not as talented as them, but boss, I have a small theater troupe of seven people here…”
That was truly a case of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities.
With competition, these dentists really pulled out all their best candidates.
They are all very experienced.
Accountant, gatekeeper, maid, page, maidservant...
All in all, there were a total of 168 people.
168 contracts were signed and officially registered with the government brokerage firm. In addition to the required government registration fee, the total amount was one thousand taels of gold.
Of course, these are all long-term employment contracts, not death sentences.
Now that Daxing has allowed maritime trade and is lured by the wealth it brings, it is vigorously developing maritime trade, and the status of foreign maritime merchants has risen accordingly.
That's why Shu Jiao dared to make such a large-scale deal.
If this were a dynasty under a maritime ban, she would have been arrested the very next day, along with the entire brokerage firm, before she even made the purchase, once the brokerage firm heard the news.
The housekeeper, Shu Jiao, did not buy it.
She bought a super butler worth fifty taels of gold from the system's shop.
After settling everything down, Shu Jiao took Shu Xi on a shopping spree.
Fabrics, jewelry, various gemstones and pearls, and shops in prime locations...
Buy whatever is expensive.
It seems like they have an inexhaustible supply of money.
This spectacle had already alarmed the officials of Xiangzhou.
Upon receiving the news, the prefect of Xiangzhou sat down and immediately launched a brainstorming session—
舒？
woman?
Still so rich?
no……
He'd never heard of this person before. Could he be a newcomer?
What exactly is this foreign maritime tycoon planning, buying houses and hiring people in Xiangzhou?
The prefect of Xiangzhou was somewhat troubled.
They tried every possible way to probe Shu Jiao's intentions, and finally learned—
She really is new here.
They used to wander around outside, but this time they took a detour and unexpectedly found themselves in Daxing.
The merchant fleet will arrive in a few days.
Upon learning that she was indeed just a simple businesswoman who had come here to do business, the prefect felt much more at ease.
Foreign merchants from all over the world have bought land in Xiangzhou, let alone Shu Jiao, who only bought a house and hired some people. She is considered to be living a peaceful life.
Wow, that's a lot of money!
The prefect of Xiangzhou calculated that Shu Jiao had probably spent five thousand taels of silver, or even more, in gold during this period.
So he passed on Shu Jiao's matter to his superiors.
It was passed from one person to another.
Finally, Shu Jiao's information appeared on the Regent's desk.
At first, the regent didn't pay much attention.
Isn't he just a wealthy foreign businessman?
These days, who isn't making a fortune in the maritime trade?
In Guangxiang Prefecture alone, three or five wealthy merchants emerged, and the amount of money they handed over each year was an astronomical figure, resulting in a huge annual harvest for the national treasury.
But soon!
He then changed his attitude.
