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 very easy to spend it. Banknotes are useless.”
"Okay." Li Qingxian nodded.
Han Anbo said: "How much food can I buy with one tael of silver here?"
Xu Changren said: "This is about the situation in Fuzhen. Since the people in Fuzhen are often plentiful and the conditions are limited, the town government stipulates that private transactions are prohibited. All transactions must be done at the town market. Every transaction must be
Collect a tax. However, don’t worry too much. If you don’t have money, you can join the town government to work. As long as you work, the town government will provide you with the most basic food. You will be 50% full and you will not starve to death.”
"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, the land belongs to the Qi Family, and 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 here, you can pay money to rent it. Of course, if there are high-ranking people among you, you can continue to stay here. In addition..."
Xu Changren looked at the young woman in the room, 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 Zhenyamen. There are more men than women here, and women are less than one tenth, so women will enter the Zhenyamen and choose according to their own wishes. Basically,
, I won’t come to the lower district. I hope that when the little lady goes to the upper mountainous area, she will have the opportunity to take care of the little man."
The woman's face turned red and she was at a loss.
The brocade-robed businessman smiled, took out three taels of broken silver, stuffed it towards the woman, and said with a smile: "From now on, I can just rely on my little lady to take care of her."
A person next to him sneered: "Don't believe what he says. When you were in a coma, this man wanted to give you to Gui. He also said that you were mediocre and useless. If it weren't for Mr. Hou, you would have been killed by him."
"Yes, that's what he said." Everyone accused the merchant in brocade robes.
As if encountering a poisonous snake, the young lady took three steps back 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, so why bother? Let's look forward. Maybe we will be able to ask for 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 masters of the imperial court. As long as you join the Zhen Yamen, you will be promoted very quickly, and you may find old people in the mountainous area. If you are rich, you can gain connections.
It's best if you have no connections and are 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 is a street gangster?"
Xu Changren said: "In Fuzhen, if you have money, you can buy a house, and if you don't have enough money, you can rent. But some people are unwilling to endure hardship, so they don't buy or rent a house, and just lie down on the street. The Shangshan District and the town government are responsible for these people.
I hate it deeply. There are no women in the lower district. If there are too many men like this, won’t our Fu Town be doomed? Those few are street gangsters..."
Xu Changren pointed to three people in shabby clothes watching the excitement not far away.
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 came here. Some people resisted, but even if they are top-ranking, 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 for the matter of being blessed,
The inspections above are 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 it 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 sorry, 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 someone is blessed, and it can also determine whether it will trigger mist of fortune. There is no harm in doing so.”
Xu Changren said, raising the blessing mirror 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.
Not everyone.
"No, this is the mirror of blessing." Xu Changren turned the mirror and shined it on himself.
Then 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 deep 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. I invite you to go to the Yamen together. I believe Mr. Fu is willing to meet you."
"Will this house be handed over to you?"
"If there are special circumstances, we can postpone it for a few days. I think you will have already gone to Shangshan District in a few days, and you can't stand 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 been promoted to immortality, it’s enviable..."
