At this time, Bai Suxian was kneeling next to Zhang Tie, concentrating on mixing wine for Zhang Tie. When he heard Zhang Tie's words, he just smiled slightly, looked at Zhang Tie with beautiful eyes, and said nothing. +,
Bai Suxian didn't say anything, but the captain who had been steering the boat laughed at the stern and said boldly while rocking the oar, "Young Master Cui doesn't understand. There are many wealthy families in Xuanyuan Hill, but there are more
Yes, but they are still ordinary people like me. Ordinary people naturally want to make money to live. Most ordinary people want to make money, have no connections and are reluctant to leave Xuanyuan Hill. Naturally, they also work hard on food, clothing, housing, transportation, eating, drinking and entertainment.
Just like me, Lao Zhou, I rely on this boat to earn a living in Xuanyuan Hill!"
Lao Zhou is the owner of this small boat and makes a living on the Jinshui River. Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian rented a boat for a cruise on the Jinshui River today, and also hired Lao Zhou to operate the boat. Neither of them revealed their identities, just like ordinary people.
When he was looking for a boat at a dock by the river, he met Lao Zhou. Zhang Tie saw that Lao Zhou was a bit special among the boatmen. Not only was he physically strong, but he was also an eighth-level warrior with a kind face, so he asked Lao Zhou.
Zhou rented the boat and hired people for the price without negotiating, so he let Lao Zhou sail the boat. The two only told Lao Zhou that Zhang Tie's surname was Cui and Bai Suxian's surname was Bai. Lao Zhou also called Zhang Tiehe Mr. Cui and Miss Bai.
Bai Suxian.
"Haha, Lao Zhou, what do you mean when you say you are reluctant to leave Xuanyuan Hill? In a place like Xuanyuan Hill, does anyone dare to force you to leave and openly do evil?" Zhang Tie asked with interest, asking these market people.
Perhaps others would no longer be interested in these things when they reached Zhang Tie's level of cultivation, but Zhang Tie originally came from the business world, so he was particularly interested in these things.
I visited some places in Xuanyuan Hill in the past few days. The legends and allusions of heroes and great men, and the tall buildings and gates. It was interesting and interesting, and grand and magnificent, but it was still a bit stiff for Zhang Tie. Only today I came to the Jinshui River.
Watching the boats coming and going on the Jinshui River, smelling the aroma of wine from the wine shops on the shore, and listening to the noisy hawking with a southern and northern accent, the image of Xuanyuan Hill slowly came alive in Zhang Tie's heart.
"It's not forced, it's voluntary!" Lao Zhou was maneuvering the boat flexibly in the Jinshui River. When he said this, he had just avoided a two-story boat, and the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard from the boat.
The sound was accompanied by the melodious singing of a woman. This was also a boat doing business on the Jinshui River. When several men on the second floor of the boat passed by the boat, they saw Bai Suxian with an affectionate smile on his face on the boat.
Everyone couldn't help but open their mouths. The boat was far away, and they turned to look at it.
Bai Suxian heard that the song coming from the boat was Zhang Tie's "Lovers". Then she smiled at Zhang Tie and winked mischievously.
The Jinshui River is a man-made canal that connects the Three Lakes and Xuanyuan Hills, so although the river is wide, there are no waves on weekdays, and there are no strong winds or waves. Even a small boat on the Jinshui River only needs the operator to operate it.
If you are technically proficient, you can still walk on flat ground.
After listening to Lao Zhou's words, Zhang Tie was even more surprised, "Voluntarily? As long as someone can stay in a place like this, who would want to leave?"
"I heard that even if I travel all over the human race, I can't find another place comparable to Xuanyuan Hill. If you want to live a decent life in Xuanyuan Hill, who is willing to leave such a feng shui treasured place? There is no other way to leave?
"Lao Zhou sighed while smearing the paste, "But people have to live, and to live, you have to make money, otherwise your whole family can't live by breathing air in Xuanyuan Hill!"
"That's true, life is just firewood, rice, oil and salt. You can't live without food, clothing, housing and transportation anywhere. Money is not everything, but having no money, especially living in a place like Xuanyuan Hill without money, is absolutely impossible!" Zhang Tie smiled.
said.
"Who says it's not the case! It's not easy to live in Xuanyuan Hill for a long time..." Lao Zhou was so excited that he clapped his hands and made a crisp sound, "Now every household living in Xuanyuan Hill has land and houses.
It was a gift from the Taixia royal family. According to regulations, it cannot be resold and traded. If no one inherits it, it will be taken back by the royal family. What I mean when I say I am reluctant to leave Xuanyuan Hill is that if I am willing to leave Xuanyuan Hill, I will give up what I have in Xuanyuan Hill.
Renting out the family home can bring in a lot of income for a year, and the income will flow steadily. With this income, even if they leave Xuanyuan Hill and go to a place like the Nine Divine Lands, the family can still live like a wealthy family, every day.
There is no need to run around and work hard for life. Taixia wants to come to Xuanyuan Hill to settle down and get a front office. There are so many wealthy business groups. Even though the rent of houses in Xuanyuan Hill is now the highest in the world, a three-foot house in a corner can rent for one year.
It costs thousands of gold coins, but it’s still hard to find a house, it’s pricey but not marketable!”
"Just like in my family, my ancestor was the Zuo Zhonghou who held the Jinwu Style Dao of Xuanyuan Hill. With his meritorious service, he was able to get a small house in Xuanyuan Hill. Our Zhou family also had a prosperous life. I heard that my grandfather
It is said that when our ancestors returned to Xunzhou to worship their ancestors, the governor of Xunzhou would give them a banquet. However, after our ancestors passed away, our Zhou family was protected by the words of our ancestors and prospered for several decades. However, in these decades, the Zhou family
The family has passed through two generations, but they have never produced any decent descendants. When it came to my grandfather's generation, the Zhou family gradually declined, and the relationship between our Zhou family and Jin Wu also faded. By the time I came to this
Generations, there are three brothers of our Zhou family. I am the eldest, and I have inherited the Zhou family’s ancestral home in Xuanyuan Hill, a small courtyard. My two brothers have left Xuanyuan Hill and gone out to work to make a living!"
"Originally, my Zhou family's ancestral house was attracted by someone when my father was a child, and I heard that it was some kind of noble from the subcontinent. They were willing to pay twenty thousand gold coins every year to rent my Zhou family's house and renovate it.
I always lived in Xuanyuan Hill. At that time, our Zhou family was already in some difficulties. With a rent of 20,000 gold coins per year, our Zhou family’s life could be changed immediately. But my father just didn’t agree. Before my father passed away, he even specially
We three brothers called us to the bedside and told us that we must safeguard the Zhou family's inheritance and not leave Xuanyuan Hill?"
Zhang Tie was surprised, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you, Old Zhou, to be the queen of the general family, but the 20,000 gold coins per year is not a small amount. Your family's situation was not very good at the time, so why didn't you agree?"
Lao Zhou laughed, but his words did not sound like a boat captain at all, "It is easy to leave Xuanyuan Hill and live a stable life, but once you leave, your family's descendants will want to live in Xuanyuan Hill in the future.
It is impossible to get ahead in this place, but as long as you stay, there is hope in the family. As long as one of the descendants of the family can succeed in a place like Xuanyuan Hill, the family will be proud of its ancestors, and the family will rise.
Hey, hey, that’s a lot of gold coins, but if you look around the world, there’s no place like Xuanyuan Hill, where experts are everywhere and opportunities are everywhere!”
"Xuanyuan Hill has the best school in the human race, the best education in the human race, the strongest knights in the human race, and the most opportunities for the human race to get ahead. As long as you stay, as long as the descendants of the family have successful achievements, they will grow old in the future.
The connections left by the ancestors can be revived again, so a little money is nothing! As an ordinary family, if you want to stay and give opportunities to the family's descendants, you must find a way to make money to support your family.
To be honest, I am not afraid of the two of you making fun of me. In order to keep this family going, I, Zhou, am steering the boat on the river with all my strength, while my mother-in-law is selling wine, and the two of them are drinking peach blossoms on the boat.
The wine is made by my mother-in-law herself from peach blossoms picked in the yard at home every year..."
Zhang Tie did not make fun of him, but was in awe. What Lao Zhou and his wife did were almost the same as what his own parents did in Black Flame City. These are Chinese parents who would sacrifice almost anything for their children.
, this house in Xuanyuan Hill, understood from Lao Zhou's point of view, is almost the number one school district house in the human race. In order to give the younger generations of the family a chance, an opportunity to be immersed in the circle of Xuanyuan Hill and slowly influenced by it.
, in the entire Xuanyuan Hill, I don’t know how many parents and families like Lao Zhou gave up the opportunity to become rich easily, and persisted in Xuanyuan Hill, doing menial jobs, waiting for the day when their children would become successful and honor their ancestors.
Of course, not all families are like Lao Zhou. Each family has its own situation. But with the size and population of Xuanyuan Hill, there are definitely many families like Lao Zhou, and even account for an overwhelming number of them.
Most of the ordinary ancestral shades can last for hundreds of years. However, Xuanyuan Hill has been around for more than 800 years. It is estimated that the entire Xuanyuan Hill can still enjoy the ancestral shade for so many years.
Can't find a few.
The ancestors of these families have been glorious, otherwise they would not have stayed in Xuanyuan Hill. Therefore, in future generations, the idea of restoring the family's glory and even taking it to a higher level has become the biggest obsession of many families for generations.
thoughts and pursuits.
"Lao Zhou, how many children do you have at home?"
Speaking of the children in the family, Lao Zhou's face became brighter and his voice became louder unconsciously, "There are eight children in the family, three daughters and five sons. Three of the five sons are honest.
The other two have average talents, but they have some skills now. The sixth one has the talent of refining weapons. He is now an apprentice at the headquarters of the Rune Weapon Refiner Guild, helping people run errands, but he can learn skills, and the eldest brother can learn martial arts.
After working hard, he became a decent person, and the family kept the connections left by his ancestors in Zhijinwu. The boss himself was also very good, so he joined Zhijinwu. Now he is a corps leader, and he knows how to send money to his family.
!”
The persistence of the Zhou family for several generations finally paid off when the next generation came from Old Zhou. Institutions and locations like the headquarters of the Human Race Rune Refiner Guild and Xuanyuan Hill Zhijinwu, in other places, you can enter wherever you want.
of.
"According to what you said, Lao Zhou, wouldn't those families whose land and properties in Xuanyuan Hill have been taken back have suffered a great loss..."
"Hehehe, those rules are dead, but people are alive. How can a living person be suffocated to death by urinating? Mr. Cui probably doesn't know when he first came to Xuanyuan Hill. You can go and ask around. In the past few hundred years,
Where in Xuanyuan Hill can any land and property be taken back again?" Old Zhou laughed... (To be continued...)
