Chapter Seventy-Two: Unexpected House Prices
The three of them discussed briefly, he was responsible for inquiring about the news in the inn, and Li Shenfeng went out to sell horses, because the carriage was so old that no one wanted to sell it.
Under the lure of Ping An, the inn Xiao Er told Ping An everything he knew, and after Xiao Er left, Ping An began to sort out the information.
First of all, the most important information, there are four of the most powerful people in Juyun City, namely the city lord, Jin Ziguo, Zhongfeng Dafu, Wang Dianwu, and the commander of the garrison outside the city, Ye Yuling, the lord of a thousand households, and Wang Meng, the deputy lord of a thousand households.
Below them are some middle nobles, all of whom are people who serve in the imperial court, or people who serve in the army, after all, there are 10,000 garrisons outside the city of Juyun City, including many sixth-rank officials and seventh-rank officials, and they also live in the city.
In addition to these officials, there are also people in the Chamber of Commerce, Ping An has seen the introduction in the book before, and has always been very curious about them, but there is no Chamber of Commerce in a small place like Yong'an, because the minimum requirement for the Chamber of Commerce to enter is a third-class city.
They were chambers of commerce supported by the imperial court, and they mainly made military supplies, plus things used by the upper class. These people are not only rich, but also have connections with some big officials in the imperial city, so it is difficult to mess with.
The rest are some people who came to live here from third-class cities or towns, some of them are the proud sons of heaven who came to study in Juyun Academy, some are rich people with some money, and some are related to the dignitaries and dignitaries in those towns.
In the end, there are ordinary people, and some low-level people such as some officials and so on.
Due to the mixed situation here, in order to facilitate management, the Lord of the Golden City divided Juyun City into several areas, and the middle area was the administrative office area.
The rest was divided into four areas, east, west, north and south, with the east being the area where these officials lived, and the west being the area where the people in the chamber of commerce and the wealthy merchants in the city lived.
The southern district is the area where the students and the rich landowners live, while the northern district is the area where the people of the city live.
Although the division is divided in this way, the actual situation is that the northern district is the largest, the southern district and the western district are the smallest, followed by the eastern district.
The North District is the largest, and it is also the most chaotic inside, with dragons and snakes mixed with everyone, and it is difficult to manage.
Ping An's original intention was to live in the southern district, where in addition to the students were some wealthy families, and the security would be much better, after all, he had to consider his sister Wang Chaolu.
So after Li Shenfeng came back, Ping An told Li Shenfeng what he had heard, and then told the two of them what he thought, and the two had no opinions after hearing it.
Early the next morning, the three of them walked out of the inn, came to the administrative area of the city, and stopped at a place called the Barter Pavilion, which was the place that Ping An heard about yesterday, this is the place where the city is traded and traded, and it is the place established by the city lord, and there are people in the official government in charge.
The three of them walked into it with excitement and found that this barter pavilion, which had just opened, was overcrowded, and everyone was there.
Li Shenfeng finally squeezed over to take a look, and found that there were many booths on both sides, and there were some things on each booth, and there was a light curtain on each booth, and there was some information in the light curtain, and the people who came here were all looking at the light curtain.
Li Shenfeng watched for a long time, before he walked out of the crowd and told Ping An what he saw, and after listening to it, Ping An realized that this place is not only to buy and sell houses, but also to buy and sell other things, because the house is a large commodity, and a lot of models need to be made, so it is on the second floor of the barter pavilion.
Li Shenfeng called Ping'an to go up to the second floor with Wang Chaolu, and Ping'an asked his sister to go up with Li Shenfeng first, and he walked around on the first floor first.
As far as the eye can see, the area of the first floor is more than 2,000 square meters, and the merchants are selling things along the booths on both sides, and there is a light curtain on each booth, which shows the specific categories of goods sold at the booth and the selling price.
Ping'an said, no wonder people who visit here have to look up at the light curtain first, it turns out that there is information and prices of things sold on the booth, so that after seeing it first, you will know which booth to buy things first, which can not only save a lot of time, but also know which booth sells things cheaper.
Ping An looked at it for a long time, and found that the things here actually included all the daily necessities and other contents, even if some of the more unpopular things were available here, but the selling price was several times more expensive than that of Yong'an.
After Ping An looked at the price for a while, his heart tightened, he thought of a possibility, and hurriedly came to the stairs and walked upstairs, just went up and saw Li Shenfeng and the two of them standing in the crowd with a depressed face, Ping An walked towards the two, while looking at the light curtain around him, after a brief look, Ping An found that the house price here is not generally high.
If you buy a 200-square-meter house in Yong'an, you can buy a bedroom here at most, or the kind of bedroom without a hall.
The three of them had no idea about the so-called prices, so when they saw the price of the house in front of them, their excitement disappeared in an instant, and all that was left was bitterness.
Ping An is better, after all, there is some psychological preparation, but it is useless to prepare a little fart in the heart, Ping An calculates, their money is only enough to buy a house in the North District in a remote location, the size of the house is only two bedrooms and a yard.
Ping An calculated that if they bought this house, they would only have more than 20 gold coins left, but if they didn't buy it, they would save some if they just rented it. But for the three of them, they all wanted to have a place of their own, so the three of them studied it and finally decided to buy the house, and the rest will be talked about later.
The efficiency of the official staff of Juyun City is still very fast, Ping An has just finished paying the money, and the staff over there immediately contacted the seller, and after the two sides looked at the house, they quickly signed the sales contract and transferred the land deed.
Li Shenfeng and Wang Chaolu didn't know that the house they bought was the savings of Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang's life, plus the reward for killing two people safely, if they were an ordinary person, they might not be able to afford a house in Juyun City for the rest of their lives.
The three of them didn't have any luggage, but after buying the house, they bought some again, Li Shenfeng said that he wanted to celebrate, went out to buy vegetables, and Ping'an and Wang Chaolu began to clean up the house. When he saw his sister smiling at her, he knew it was definitely worth it.
In the evening, the three of them went back to their rooms to rest after a happy meal, Li Shenfeng lived with Ping'an in one room, and Wang Chaolu lived in another.
Li Shenfeng has been tired recently, and he fell asleep after lying on the bed and saying a few words, while Ping An was thinking about his livelihood in the future, because the money in their pockets was almost gone.
For people like Ping An who haven't worked much, there are no good ideas at all, and sometimes they are in a hurry, and even have the idea of going out to rob the road.
Although he didn't have any ideas, Ping'an's mind kept coming to the first floor of the barter pavilion that he saw during the day, and he always felt that he could find business opportunities from here.
After more than an hour, Ping An sighed, and said in his heart that it was useless to think about it, let's cultivate first, go out tomorrow to see if I can find a job, and make some money first, after all, I don't have any income and I am not in the mood to go to Juyun Academy.
It was getting late, and Ping An began to cultivate, and when he reached the realm of wrestlers, he didn't need to guard the training equipment every day to cultivate, and when he reached this level, he relied on absorbing the qi of strength transformed into the qi of the blessings of the outside world.
Every time you run the exercises, a part of the power qi transformed into will enter all parts of the body, improving the body's functions, and the effect of doing so is more than dozens of times better than that kind of mechanical cultivation.
It is a pity to Ping An that since half a month ago, the transformation efficiency of the exercises has stabilized, and there is no feeling that the running speed is one point faster after doing a weekly cycle.
If you don't consider the matter of opening up the acupuncture hole, Ping An estimates that it won't take long for him to break through to the middle stage of the Lux realm.
As for the matter of opening up the acupoint, it is not too late to wait until the cultivation reaches the late stage of the Lux realm to slowly open up, after all, he needs the realm to deter the enemy.
He continued to practice until dawn, and Ping An suddenly remembered one thing he had neglected for a long time, that is, he didn't know what the ability given to him by God was after awakening.
Teacher Ma said before that this ability is strange and has everything, and everyone will get it after awakening successfully.
But how can I not feel it at all for so many days, the important thing is that there is no record in the Evil Emperor Recipe how to stimulate this ability, and Ping An can only keep trying.
After looking inward for a long time, I didn't find anything related to awakening in my body at all, Ping An began to recall the lesson that Teacher Ma told them about awakening at that time, and after more than ten minutes, I finally remembered the method that Teacher Ma said casually.
Ping An recalled for a long time, and after confirming that it was correct, he urged the power qi in his body to gather his fingertips, and tapped the center of his eyebrows, and a mark of power the size of a grain of rice appeared at the center of his eyebrows, and the mysterious runes on the mark lit up with a faint light under the urging of the power of his energy, and with a whoosh, a blood-colored long knife appeared in front of Ping'an.
Ping'an was startled, hurriedly hid back, and after seeing the long knife standing quietly in the air motionless, he breathed a sigh of relief, came to the long knife, and looked at it carefully.
For Ping'an, this thing is indeed very strange, this weapon is not a standard weapon, but very similar to the mountain knife used by bandits.
There is a row of sharp serrations on the back of the wide knife, a rectangular blade, a sharp edge, and a left edge, which looks full of power, and the demon pattern on the knife body makes this blood-colored long knife look very evil.
Ping An looked at it for a long time, and said in his heart that although this thing looked like a murder weapon, it was given to him by God, and the most important thing was that he didn't have a weapon yet.
For Ping An, he prefers daggers, but the long knife in front of him is in front of him, and he doesn't have to spend money, as long as it is not too inferior in quality, he can barely use it.
