Chapter 666: Fortune can prolong life.
Han Anbo frowned, then regained his composure, and turned to look at Li Qingxian.
Li Qingxian nodded, and Han Anbo directly handed Xu Changren a tael of silver.
Xu Changren's right hand swept away Han Anbo's hand, put it into his sleeve without leaving any trace, bent his back slightly, and said: "Masters, if you want to find a guide to facilitate your stay in Fuzhen, you can come to me at any time. What's more, we Isn't it the greatest fate to meet each other?"
"Let's take a look first," Li Qingxian said.
"You have the final say!" Xu Changren said.
Xu Changren added: "I know you are all noble people. It would be good for me not to say anything, but what I want to say is, try to save money in this place, because money is very, very, very difficult to make, but It's especially easy to spend. Banknotes are useless."
"Okay." Li Qingxian nodded.
Han Anbo asked: "How much food can one tael of silver here buy?"
Xu Changren said: "This has to do with the situation in Fuzhen. Since the number of people in Fuzhen is sometimes large and small, and conditions are limited, the town government stipulates that prohibiting For private transactions, all transactions must be done at the town market, and a tax will be collected for each transaction. However, don’t worry too much. If you don’t have money, you can join the town government to work. As long as you do things, the town government will provide you with the most basic The food is 50% full and you won’t die of hunger.”
“Can’t you grow your own vegetables and land?” Han Anbo asked.
"Every grain of soil and every drop of water here is private. Of course, this private person is not us, but belongs to the major forces that entered before. For example, if the land belongs to the Qi Family, this house naturally also belongs to the Qi Family. It will be cleared out and distributed by the town government. If you continue to live, you can pay money to rent. Of course, if there are top-ranking people among you, you can continue to stay here. In addition..." Xu Changren looked at the young woman in the room and
said He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Have you ever been married, little lady?"
"I am a widow." The woman lowered her head and said.
Xu Changren looked regretful, then smiled and said: "Please come with me to the Zhen Yamen. There are more men than women here, and women are less than one-tenth, so women will enter the Zhen Yamen and choose according to their own wishes. Basically, women will enter the Zhen Yamen. , I won’t come to the lower district. I hope that when the little lady reaches the upper mountain area, she will have the opportunity to take care of the little man."
The woman's face was red and she was at a loss.
The businessman in brocade robe smiled, took out three taels of broken silver, stuffed it towards the woman, and said with a smile: "From now on, I can only rely on the little lady to take care of you." A
person next to him sneered: "Don't believe what he said. When you were unconscious, this People want to give you to Gui, and they say you are mediocre and useless. If it weren't for the Marquis, you would have been killed by him." "
Yes, that's what he said." Everyone accused the brocade-robed merchant.
The little lady took three steps back as if encountering a poisonous snake and glared at the brocade-robed merchant.
The brocade-robed businessman just smiled awkwardly and said, "What happened in the past is in the past. Why bother? Let's move forward. Maybe we will beg each other in the future." "
What should we do now?" Li Qingxian asked.
Xu Changren looked at everyone and said: "Different people have different fates. You are all the masters of the imperial court. As long as you join the Zhenyamen, you will be promoted very quickly, and you may find the old people in the mountainous area. If you are rich, you can gain connections. It's best to have no connections and be no different from other people. Like ordinary people, my suggestion is to join the town government honestly, and let you farm as you farm, and work as you work. Those with skills can earn every meal. It's not a problem to eat until you're full. Don't imitate those street gangsters, or rather, don't imitate them now."
Xu Changren looked helpless.
"What are street gangsters?"
Xu Changren asked: "In Fuzhen, if you have money, you can buy a house, and if you have less money, you can rent a house. But some people are not willing to endure hardship, so they don't buy or rent a house, and just lie down on the street. 1 The mountainous area and the town government hate these people deeply. There are no women in the lower district. If there are too many such men, won't our Fu Town be doomed? Those few are street bandits..." Xu Changren pointed to three people watching the excitement not far away
. A man with shabby clothes. When the three people noticed that everyone was looking over, they smiled and waved.
Xu Changren took out a book of magical instruments and said: "Let's talk about the business, and talk about other things slowly. What are your names, where are you from, and what you do must be reported to the Yamen one by one. By the way, you haven't done it yet. Tell me how many times you have been lucky."
Xu Changren raised his head and looked at Li Qingxian.
"I didn't get lucky even once." Li Qingxian said.
Xu Changren smiled and said: "I know you are worried, but don't worry, this is how everyone got here. Some people resisted, but even if they are top-grade, the best result is to join the upper district and work with them... Heguang Tongchen. You are all capable people. I can’t do anything to you, but the people who go up to the mountainous area must have something to do. You can delay the house, taxes, etc., but the matter of being lucky, The inspection above is the strictest. That is to say, if we break the pot in the lower district, you can try it in the upper mountain area and check step by step." "
We really didn't get lucky." Li Qingxian said.
Xu Changren sighed, cupped his hands, took out a bronze mirror, with the word "福" engraved on the back, and said, "Everyone, I'm offended. This is an order from the Yamen. If I don't do it, I will be kicked out of the Yamen. Everyone, too. Don't panic, this is a mirror of fortune. It can identify whether others are blessed, and it can also determine whether it will trigger mist of fortune. There is no harm in it."
Xu Changren said, raising the mirror of fortune and shining it on Li Qingxian and others.
Xu Changren's eyes widened and he shook the mirror, but there was still nothing. He patted the back of the mirror and looked at it again, but there was still nothing.
None of them.
"No, this is the mirror of blessing." Xu Changren turned the mirror to shine on himself.
He saw four blood-red blessing characters appearing on his chest, and each word "blessing" seemed to be bleeding.
Xu Changren turned the mirror again and looked at Li Qingxian and others.
Nothing at all.
Xu Changren took a breath and looked at Li Qingxian, speechless.
Han Anbo whispered: "Our Lord Marquis has solved the mystery."
Xu Changren stood blankly for a moment, put away the bronze mirror, bent down and bowed: "I have met you sir. It turns out that you are all very capable, and I invite you to go to the Yamen together. I believe Mr. Fu is willing to meet you." "This house will be handed over to you.
" You?"
"If there are special circumstances, we can postpone it for a few days. I think you will have already gone to Shangshan District a few days after coming here, and you don't like the broken bricks and tiles here." Xu Changren said.
"Let me ask the last question, what's going on with your body?" Li Qingxian asked.
Everyone looked at Xu Changren's wooden legs and bulging belly.
Xu Changren smiled, stroked his big belly, and said slowly: "Blessings are a panacea, and blessings can prolong life. These are all the results of receiving blessings. I am unlucky, and I only received blessings three times. Those who have received blessings multiple times , that’s what you call good luck, you’ve become an immortal, it’s enviable...”
Everyone shuddered.
