Talent is not fair, let alone controllable by individuals, and Xu Chen has always ignored things that he can't control.

Let it go! Xu Chen has never been a person who feels sorry for himself, and after feeling for a while, life still has to go on.

After receiving a set of clothes, bedding, tableware and utensils from Yun Ye, Xu Chen returned to his house in Tianji Courtyard.

Yun Ye's house is very large, except for some yards where sundries are piled up and used for other purposes, the main courtyards of the seven residents are actually the names of the Big Dipper, and even the seats arranged are almost the same.

For this, Xu Chen didn't care about it. In Xu Chen's view, since cultivators often go out, it is normal for them to have some cultural exchanges with the outside world, although such exchanges are obviously not carried out in a harmonious and friendly atmosphere.

Back at the four-walled residence of the family, Xu Chen looked around and suddenly smiled: "It's not bad! at least the place to live is better than the last time." ”

Penniless, it's time to start from scratch again, but this time there is no eye-opening ruffian to let Xu Chen get the first pot of gold. Biancheng is a place with strict laws, not to mention whether there will be ruffians and idlers, even if there is, it is not something that Xu Chen can deal with now.

Just like Chen Dong said, Xu Chen will definitely stay in Biancheng for a while. Not to mention Yang Ziyun, who has not woken up yet, Xu Chen was finally able to enter the world of cultivators silently, how could he miss this opportunity to spy on the enemy?

The more he understands the world of cultivators, the greater Xu Chen's chances of winning in the battles that may come in the future, this is a major matter related to the lives of his brothers, how can Xu Chen be sloppy?

No matter what era or region, if you want to do more, you have to have more money, or resources. This is the common nature of all intelligent creatures, and those who cultivate the truth are immortals, but after all, they have not become immortals, and they still can't escape the word "desire".

It turns out that the way to make a fortune will definitely not work here, and some other means will only accelerate their own demise if they are isolated and helpless.

Now it seems that he has to follow the rules of others first.

Yun Ye's rules are also very simple, he pays, and his subordinates help him work, which is a pure employment relationship. Although Xu Chen didn't understand the purpose of spending money to hire people to move goods at the dock, this did not prevent Xu Chen from taking this place as a starting point for himself for the time being.

In the early morning, about a quarter of an hour, the whole compound became noisy, and both men and women, young and old, had already gotten up from their beds and started a busy day.

Tong Guò was wandering around the compound during the day and after returning at night yesterday, Xu Chen got a lot of news.

As Chen Dong said, there are indeed no idlers in Biancheng.

Children over the age of five, both male and female, attend the martial arts hall and go home only twice a month until the day they are "assigned" to work at the age of twelve. Xu Chen privately guessed that the City Lord's Mansion wanted to minimize the influence of the "small family" of the family on them in the children's initial perception of the world, and continue to instill the concept of "everyone" in Biancheng to the children, so as to ensure that the children have the strongest sense of belonging to Biancheng when they grow up.

Talking about right and wrong, Xu Chen would not pretentiously think that this was against humanity, because Xu Chen did the same to his brother at the beginning.

When young people reach the age of twelve, those who do not enter the city guard will be sent to all walks of life in the city to ensure that employment is in place, and it is an iron rice bowl to be used for life. No, it should be a golden rice bowl! There is only one kind of currency here, gold, and all goods are settled in gold.

Except, of course, for cultivators, who have their own currency in circulation. It is a thing called a spirit stone, Xu Chen learned yesterday that this spirit stone is actually similar to gold, it is a mineral. It's just that the spirit stone mine is special, and the spirit stone stores the spiritual energy that is essential for the cultivation of cultivators, and it is a real strategic reserve resource. Especially in this era of lack of spiritual energy and scarce spiritual veins, it is even more precious and abnormal, and it is not necessarily possible to have a few pieces in the hands of idle monks. That's why the lean man in the ant-wolf four-person group would emphasize the value of the information he bought so much, it cost him half a spirit stone to buy it, and it was almost one-tenth of his net worth!

Whether it is gold or spirit stones, they are all things that Xu Chen craves now. The spirit stone is too far away, and now it is better to find a way to earn some gold first.

In Yun Ye's compound, in addition to the laborers who work on the dock, there are also many people's family members who work in all walks of life in the rest of the city. Some went to the restaurant to be a buddy, some went to the silk village to be a shopkeeper, some set up a stall on the street to do some small business, some went to the river to support the ferry, and even many entered the various ordnance workshops specializing in the city lord's mansion.

This is the work of men, Biancheng is a big city, the division of labor in the industry is extremely fine, and almost all the men in the industry can be competent.

As for the women and children, almost all of them carried their children under the age of five to the silk reeling and spinning workshops in the city, and the younger girls would often carry bamboo baskets with some fresh fruits and snacks made by each family to sell on the street.

In short, this small compound actually contains people from all walks of life in Biancheng.

Xu Chen didn't know if this had Yun Ye's deep-seated considerations, but this lively and peaceful atmosphere alone made Xu Chen a little infatuated.

"Yo, Xiao Chenzi is up! Have you had breakfast? Auntie, this freshly steamed hot steamed bun, take it and taste it!"

"Xiao Chenzi, come! Auntie, there is still freshly boiled millet porridge, hurry up and drink it while it's hot!"

"Yes, you will do it later, but you will work hard, don't eat more, your body and bones can't bear it, these two fruits are in your pocket, and when you are hungry, you will make up for it!"

……

After coming out of Yun Ye yesterday, Xu Chen spent some time visiting the courtyards, and with the intention of communicating, these enthusiastic and simple neighbors had already regarded Xu Chen as their own nephew.

"Auntie, this steamed bun is so delicious!"

"Auntie, your millet porridge is really a must!

"And this fruit, Auntie, how did you make it? It smells sweet, why haven't I ever eaten such a delicious fruit before?"

……

"Haha, Xiao Chenzi, your little mouth is so sweet!"

"If you like to eat, then eat more!"

……

Most of the neighbors were having breakfast, and with Xu Chen's conscious greetings, a large number of enthusiastic aunts and aunts were immediately surrounded by them, laughing and laughing at breakfast.

Yun Ye in the middle courtyard saw it, and he only smiled slightly.

After breakfast, the residents of the courtyard went out one after another, rushing to their workplaces in groups of three or five.

"Have you eaten enough?

Chen Dong seemed to be a foreman, and as soon as the residents of the compound were almost gone, he shouted, and the men who were going to work on the dock surrounded him.

"Master Yun, everyone is here!"

After listening to Chen Dong's report, Yun Ye nodded, and then took the lead out of the courtyard.

Xu Chen naturally followed in the middle of the team, and there were a hundred and ten people.

In the outside world, the car and boat shops belong to the kind of people who are innocent and should be killed.

But in this Biancheng, Xu Chen clearly felt the respect of the people along the way for this team.

That's right!

Xu Chen attributed this respect to Yun Ye's past power at first, but later found out that it was not only that.

After walking on the street for most of the day yesterday, Xu Chen talked with many people that the simplicity of the people of Biancheng is by no means an exception, but a universal value cultivated in a peaceful and equal life.

The expressions on the faces of such people are definitely not fake, not to mention how difficult it is to make everyone on the street fake?

Gradually, Xu Chen had some doubts about the work he was going to do.

The wharf is not far away, and after a few streets, Xu Chen and his party appeared on the wharf yesterday.

It's still the same as yesterday, it's really quiet, and it's a little unusual.

"Xiao Chenzi, I forgot to say it yesterday, I can't hide it from you today!"

After everyone arrived at the dock, the rest of the people walked to their posts familiarly, but Chen Dong walked up to Xu Chen at this time and said this.

"Ah, Brother Chen has something to say!" Xu Chen faintly felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

"That's good! I'll get straight to the point!"

Chen Dong didn't mean to beat around the bush at all, he just asked just now to see Xu Chen's reaction.

"Do you know what kind of goods are being carried on our dock?" Chen Dong then asked.

Xu Chen shook his head, but his heart couldn't help but tighten.

Chen Dong naturally didn't expect Xu Chen to know, so he replied to himself: "What we are carrying on this dock is not an ordinary cargo, but all the ruined city debris that the city lord's mansion sent a master to clean up from the ruined city in the east!

"What?" Xu Chen was shocked.

Chen Dong didn't seem to see the shocked look on Xu Chen's face, and still said to himself: "After the people of the City Lord's Mansion dispose of those scraps every day, they will come to this dock, and then we will carry these things onto the ship and transport them to other places for destruction. In addition, the City Lord's Mansion will also transport some things to curb the toxins in the remnant city from time to time, and we also need to move these things off the ship, naturally, these things are also highly toxic!"

Xu Chen was still staring at Chen Dong blankly.

"These things must have some impact on us, but don't worry, these poisons have been tightly packed by the masters of the City Lord's Mansion with great skills, and the toxins that can leak out are almost negligible. ”

"Of course, over the years, there will be some impact. However, in order to compensate us people, the City Lord's Mansion will give us a free Shou Yuan Pill every ten years, all of which are two years of Shou Yuan Dan worth three million taels of gold, which is enough to make up for the loss of Shou Yuan in the past ten years. ”

"Xiao Chenzi, this work we are doing is a great thing that will benefit the whole city! It is a ...... that can accumulate great merits."

"My eldest sister!"

Xu Chen still had a shocked and angry expression on his face, but he instantly understood in his heart!

"I see...... This is really a fucking trap for Lao Tzu!"
