467 Hanmen Guizi (21) Second Watch
Noble son of the Hanmen (21)
The owner glanced at the direction of the city wall, with a palpitating expression, and reminded in a low voice: "Little brother is not from the capital, and I won't coax you." Do you want to see this place?"
The fourth master nodded, "Just make a price." ”
The owner gritted his teeth and said, "If you can pay cash, six hundred ...... No, I'll sell it for five hundred taels. ”
It is not easy to live in the capital. Five hundred taels and a complete two-entry yard is really not expensive.
It seems that the people on the city tower have given the family a lot of shadows, and they would rather lose money than move out of here as soon as possible.
"I won't hide it from you, I haven't lived in this house since it was built. The furniture and stuff are all new. The first day my wife and daughter entered the door, she fell ill with fright. As he spoke, the man's face was sad, "All the family's savings are spent on this house." I can't make up the money to buy a small yard anywhere else. ”
The implication is that I sold this side and wanted to buy an inconspicuous small yard somewhere else.
The fourth master didn't say anything, "I want all the furniture inside." Six hundred taels, that's it. ”
The owner was overjoyed. This furniture is made according to the size of the house, and it is not certain when it will be sold. Besides, it can't be sold at this price. He immediately said, "Go to the yamen now?"
More anxious than the fourth master.
Lin Yutong pretended to take it out of his backpack, but in fact he took out a fifty taels of gold ingots from the space.
There was no choice but to pay the bill with gold. For gold alone does not occupy any place. Otherwise, there is no way to explain that you have so many things in one rucksack.
"Is that enough?" Lin Yutong asked the owner.
The owner nodded hurriedly, the condition is so good, there is no problem in exchanging six hundred taels of silver.
The group locked the door and followed the owner to the ticket number. He exchanged the gold ingot for a silver ticket and carried it with him.
Lin Yutong also took a gold ingot by the way and exchanged it for five hundred taels of silver tickets of various sizes and one hundred taels of broken silver. It's all a home-time expense.
gave the silver ticket and broken silver to the fourth master, and the fourth master took Cheng Feng and Li Jian and followed the owner to the yamen.
Lin Yutong took the rest of the people to sit on the tea stall opposite. I asked for tea and snacks and waited on the side.
In less than half an hour, the people came out.
"Is it done?" Lin Yutong hurriedly asked.
The fourth master smiled, "In this world, there is silver to open the way, how can there be anything that can't be done?"
Lin Yutong breathed a sigh of relief.
I had lunch outside, and by the way, I bought melons, vegetables, rice and noodles, plus bedding, cotton jackets, firewood and charcoal. Even if you can basically fire at home.
When he arrived at home, Wang Wu took people to clean inside and out.
The fourth master discussed with Lin Yutong, "There are still a few servants." Get one on the stove, and one for washing and cleaning. You also lack a waiter by your side. "You can't ask Lin Yutong to cook every day, let's cook for a few people.
"Take your time. When you come across the right one, let's talk about it. Lin Yutong is relatively cautious, for fear of meeting people with bad hearts.
After dinner, the fourth master made arrangements.
"Cheng Feng, you will serve in the study in the future. "This kid is literate and clever.
"Wang Wu, you are on the door. "This kid is too honest. But being honest has the benefits of being honest. Do whatever you want.
"Chen Hong, you are in charge of the family's purchasing. "This kid is lively, and he will deal with people when he goes out.
"He Yuan, Zhu Yin, the two of you stay at home, send a message back and forth, asking you to run errands. But remember, one of you must be left at home to support you. "I don't always stay at home. In terms of safety, it is natural to be careful. These two are brave and available.
"Li Jian, just follow the master. "This kid is thoughtful, and he should always follow him, and he also makes it.
The six of them quickly responded. Everyone has their own mess, and their hearts settle down.
Lin Yutong gave each person another tael of silver, "In the future, it will be five hundred yuan a month." From the first day of the next month, Chen Hong came over to pay the money. In addition, food and clothing are at home. Two outfits per season. ”
Several people glanced at each other, which was definitely an unexpected surprise. When I came out, it was just to not starve to death. Who knows how much more money will be made.
A few kowtowed before retreating.
The two took a good shower and lay comfortably on the bed.
"It's kind of alive. Lin Yutong hummed comfortably. The fourth master patted her, "Sleep well." Ye is guarding on the side. ”
Lin Yutong woke up in the middle of the night and saw the fourth master sitting cross-legged and practicing.
Lin Yutong also simply sat up and meditated, and the effect now can only be said to be similar to the effect of Honghui's practice. But that's enough.
Before dawn, there was the sound of sweeping the yard outside.
The two of them got up. Lin Yutong went to the kitchen, and Cheng Feng worked on the side.
After eating, the fourth master took Li Jian out of the house. I should have gone to find Hu Da.
Lin Yutong arranged for Chen Hong, "Find a mason, this yard still needs to be repaired." "If you don't pay attention to beauty, it's just to block people's view.
When Chen Hong came back this time, he not only brought a mason, but also three women.
"Young grandma, do you see if they can use it?" Chen Hong pointed to the three yellow-faced and thin-skinned women, and whispered, "This is the person who came up from under the city wall last night. It's a pity...... When I came up, the men of the family were killed by the victims, and they were the only ones left......"
Lin Yutong frowned a little, at this time, he can still take out the silver to touch the people on the wall, which proves that the conditions at home are not bad. Such a person is not a good candidate for slavery. Not even a beggar on the street.
Chen Hong is overflowing with compassion, but now he can't act on compassion.
This is the most difficult person to discern from each other.
The Jin family fled, the Lin family picked her up, and she lived a peaceful life in the Lin family.
Lieutenant Fan also fled and was rescued by the Fan family, but he took revenge.
Until now, the three women had just lowered their heads, but they didn't show any other looks, and they knew that they were not people who bent over easily.
She took two taels of silver and handed it over, "It's fate to meet." You are also struggling. It's really rude to have a few people in my family who are abrupt. ”
At this time, the older woman raised her head, glanced at Lin Yutong, and then blessed her body, "This is what we borrowed from the young grandmother, and we will definitely return it another day." ”
Lin Yutong nodded, "Please sit down and have a cup of tea." ”
The woman shook her head, "No! ”
Lin Yutong did not force him to stay, and personally sent people out of the door.
When I turned around, I saw Chen Hong at a loss, "Young grandma, I ......"
"It's okay!" Lin Yutong waved his hand, "You are kind." I feel that it is a blessing to have something to eat and a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Don't you know that some people would rather starve to death than bow their heads? As she spoke, she said, "You go to that shopkeeper, he is familiar with the neighborhood." See if there is a woman who is willing to work, and hire her. Those who know the root cause are more reassuring than those who come from outside. ”
Chen Hong hurriedly responded.
Lin Yutong talked to a few masons about adding an attic to the verandah. Three taels of silver, and you don't even have to take care of the materials yourself. The construction period was set, a fixed amount of money was given, and the matter was settled.
At this time, the fourth master sat opposite Hu Da. There is also an arrow tower on the city wall, and you can sit in it to shelter from the wind and rain, and you can see the situation below. What a great place.
"Brother bought the courtyard under the city wall?" Hu Da asked.
The fourth master nodded, "Others don't dare to be neighbors with these brothers, but I feel that living like this is very down-to-earth." ”
Hu Da laughed, "I see that my younger brother and sister are also heroines, and I can't scare him when I wait for this." "On the contrary, it was the dead body that frightened the brother who was guarding this section. I didn't dare to look into the courtyard below.
The fourth master waved his hand, "Carving insect skills, it's just self-preservation." ”
Hu Da didn't ask deeply, and changed the topic: "Brother, you are stepping on the ground, but is there something?"
The fourth master nodded, "The family came out of their hometown and were separated. The following situation is dangerous. I'm afraid that when my family goes to the city, they won't be able to come up. Therefore, I entrusted Brother Hu to ......"
Hu Da glanced at the fourth master, "Brother, since you have settled in the capital, have you ever thought about what to do for a living?"
The fourth master knew that Hu Da's words were not finished, and he smiled: "I really haven't thought about it." What advice does the eldest brother have?"
Hu said loudly: "Can you see our errand?"
The fourth master couldn't help but look at Hu Da, "This infantry army commands the yamen and guards the nine gates of the capital." How important is it, can you enter if you want to?"
Hu Da has the heart to make friends with such capable people. There are many such people, and when it is dangerous, the brothers of their own team have a good chance of surviving. DU Dead Man's Medicine prepares one pack for one person, which can definitely save life when it is critical. He laughed, lowered his voice, and said softly: "Brother, you are a person who understands, which barracks has no empty salary." It was a thousand people who were reported, and it would be nice to have five hundred men. If you can give more silver than a soldier can receive in a lifetime, how can our ruler not be happy? ”
The fourth master instantly understood the greasy in this. Add someone in, you don't have to go through the above relationship at all, a small commander, you can get things done. These guards only pay six taels of silver a year, and even if they work for thirty years, they are only one hundred and eighty taels of silver. This commander eats empty salary, and it can't eat a person's thirty-year-old ring at once. I can't eat a little bit of it year after year. If you have a large amount of money in your account at one time, it is a good deal.
"How?" Hu Da asked with a smile again.
The fourth master was surprised in his heart. If even the military camps guarding the capital are paid a lot, then this dynasty is probably really terminally ill.
Nowadays, if you want to do something, you have to have people and weapons.
Don't look at the janitorial guard is not a decent errand, but it is also a springboard into the infantry battalion. In the barracks, it is the place where there are people and weapons.
The corners of his mouth twitched, "Of course I can't ask for it, brother!"
