Chapter 3 Paving the Road
As soon as he walked to the city gate, he found his target, a little boy at the city gate who was covered with patches all over his body but very clean, was looking at the people entering the city, and suddenly as if he had found something, the little boy walked towards a man who had just entered the city, the man was gorgeously dressed, and after entering the city, he first looked at the end of the street, and then looked left and right.

"Sir, do you need a guide? I see that you are new to this city, and the small one can help you a little, so that you can save yourself from taking some wrong paths. The little boy smiled and said to the man.
"How much?" The man asked arrogantly
"10 Wen a day." The kid wasn't annoyed, and was still smiling.
"You take me to the biggest inn in the city, and these ten wen are yours." The man pulled out 10 cents from his cuff. Throw it to the kid. "Well, you go this way" The kid was also happy to see that it was so easy to earn the 10 yuan, and happily led the way in front.
Jing Xiuyuan watched from the side, smiled slightly, and followed. It seems that I have a good life, and it was so easy to find the right person. He followed him all the way to the inn, and when the little boy turned to leave, he walked up.
"Want to make money? Come with me if you want. With that, Jing Xiuyuan walked towards his room in the inn. The little boy was stunned for a while, thought about it, and followed, after all, the other party looked to be at most eleven or twelve years old, and he seemed to be a rich boy, and he was not profitable.
"Tell me about yourself." Jing Xiuyuan sat at the table, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said lightly.
"Little Shi Lei, the second in the family." Xu saw that Jing Xiuyuan's temperament suddenly became majestic, but he lost his cleverness outside.
"Shi Lei? Oh, want to make money? 10 taels of silver a month. There's a lot more to do. ”
"How much? Ten taels? Really give me ten taels? Do, do, do, whatever it is. Shi Lei jumped up directly when he heard the monthly money of ten taels. Ten taels of silver is something that I can't even think of, and now a big steamed bun is only 1 penny. 4 steamed buns can live a day, this thousand Wen is only one or two silver, no matter what he does, I can leave after two months, go back to the village to take Xiaohong, and then get two acres of land, and live a peaceful and stable life.
"Heh, are you thinking about doing it for two months and leaving? Then go back to the village to get a daughter-in-law, get two or three acres of land, and live a peaceful life? Jing Xiuyuan looked at Shi Lei playfully.
"How do you know~ uh. How can a small person think so, you say that who doesn't want to do this thing to make a lot of money all the time, who will have trouble with money. You say no. Shi Lei wiped the sweat on his forehead, who knows what to do with you, ten taels a month. I don't know anything, how can I find an errand with so much money for so much money, it seems that the pie falling from the sky is not delicious.
Jing Xiuyuan took out 1,000 taels of silver tickets from the package, and it was still on the table directly: "You take this money, and you will leave with me to Wuyi City tomorrow." ”
"Are you really letting me take this money? Aren't you afraid that the little one won't come back?" Shi Lei looked at the money on the table and swallowed his saliva, lowered his head and peeked at Jing Xiuyuan.
"This money is nothing to me, and besides, if you take this money, you won't be able to run, let alone you won't run." Jing Xiuyuan said confidently.
"I'll leave the little one, and the little one will come to the inn tomorrow to wait for the young master." Shi Lei held the silver ticket on the table, and even his title couldn't help but change.
"Let's go. Tomorrow I have breakfast, look for a convoy and leave. This thousand taels will be used to house your family. Let them not be too public, sometimes a lot of money is not a good thing. Jing Xiuyuan said with some amusement.
Watching Shi Lei walk out of the inn, Jing Xiuyuan smiled and asked the shopkeeper to buy the four treasures of the study and start writing the plan.
There was nothing to say all night, and in the blink of an eye, the next day, Jing Xiuyuan put away what he wrote yesterday, pushed the door out with the package on his back, and as soon as the door opened, he saw Shi Lei standing respectfully outside the door.
"Young master, the little one is here." After speaking, Shi Lei took the initiative to take the package.
"When did it come? Let's see that the hour has not yet come. Have you settled down in your family? Jing Xiuyuan was not a little surprised by Shi Lei's arrival, smiled and walked down.
"It's coming. It's all settled, but I don't know when I'll be back. Shi Lei responded simply, and saw Jing Xiuyuan walking to the table and hurriedly trotting a few steps, wiping the stool with his sleeve. Jing Xiuyuan nodded and sat down. I ordered a few pastries, took out two taels of silver from my cuffs and handed them to Shi Lei.
"When I went out to find a caravan to Wuyi, I said that we would take a convenient ride, and the matter of money was easy to talk about. As for when you'll be back, it's up to you. "Maybe you can't come back, Jing Xiuyuan added in his heart.
"Okay, Childe." With that, he put the package aside and went out.
After a while, when Jing Xiuyuan was tired of seeing the scenery outside the window, Shi Lei came back, still holding a package in his hand.
"Childe, there is a convoy outside that is going to the city of life, and the convoy is full of good players on the rivers and lakes, and the road should be a lot safer, but this money... They asked for 10 taels a man. Saying that, he didn't dare to look at Jing Xiuyuan, in his life, he had never seen so much money, let alone that it would cost 10 taels to send him to Wuyi this time.
"It's okay, it's fair. When to go? Jing Xiuyuan looked at the sky.
"At noon, the small ones have already prepared dry food, and they have to walk for 5 days on the road, and they can't enter the city on the way." After speaking, he shook the package in his hand with some smugly.
"Alright, let's go check out, we'll wait at the convoy." Jing Xiuyuan watched Shi Lei finish settling the account and got up and walked out the door.
After a while, he walked to the convoy, took out two silver tickets of 10 taels from his cuffs and handed them to the steward, who took the money with a smile and settled them into the loaded car.
There was nothing to say all the way, so I walked for 5 days, and arrived at Wuyi on the fifth day, the twenty taels of money were not lost at all, and I met two groups of robbers on the road, but they were solved by the guards on the convoy in three or two clicks, Jing Xiuyuan also met the head of the guard in the conversation, Wang Dang. According to him, he is a first-class player in this world.
found an inn and settled down, and along the way, Shi Lei also learned a lot of knowledge under Jing Xiuyuan's teaching. Maybe he doesn't understand, but after a while, this knowledge can be transformed into ability.
"In the past two days, you go to find a restaurant, take him down, and then take the drawings of the utensils I told you to the blacksmith to build them, and finally find a yard so that we can live in it." After putting away the things, Jing Xiuyuan explained to Shi Lei, and went out for a walk. He wasn't worried that Shi Lei would not do well, so he knew that he could do these things well.
Wuyi is worthy of being a big city, with more people and prosperous streets, and the dress of pedestrians can also show the flavor of rivers and lakes. People who come and go are carrying swords, and there is a little more guard between people, but no matter how they argue, no one really draws their swords against each other. This city still has this order, which means that there is absolute force ruling here, I think it is the legendary Shangqing Gate, Jing Xiuyuan thought.
As I walked, I suddenly walked in front of a building, and I saw that this building was out of place with the surroundings, and various sounds could always be heard from the building, but this building was exceptionally quiet. Jing Xiuyuan walked in and found that they were all sitting cross-legged on the futon, and there was indeed a small stall in front of them, with all kinds of items.
The big man closest to the door opened his eyes, saw that it was a young man, shook his head and closed his eyes again.
Jing Xiuyuan carefully looked at the entire hall, and found that the people were talking to the stall owner but it was difficult to hear clearly, so he began to walk around the hall, he couldn't understand what was being sold, but he could read the word cheats, and knew that most of the things in this hall were related to martial arts and immortal cultivation, thinking that Jing Xiuyuan's heartbeat was also faster. After walking around, I found that most of the ones sold were martial arts introductory true solutions, and it was the same when I flipped through them.
When Jing Xiuyuan walked to a corner of the hall, a big man grabbed him, "Little brother, come on, come on, see if my true understanding of martial arts is different from theirs?" They're all paper.,I'm made of silk.,See?,This is absolutely extraordinary.,Buy it back and study it carefully.,You found the secret in it.。 Dahan said nervously.
Of course Jing Xiuyuan will not be fooled by this kind of trick, but I am afraid that Shi Lei will not believe what this big man said, a true understanding of martial arts written in silk cloth is a treasure, it is definitely a fool. He touched the books and found that there were no mezzanines. Suddenly, something was wrong. It seems that this silk is a little inferior, and it feels different to the touch in different places.
Jing Xiuyuan swiped it and opened the folding fan and fanned it twice, "How much is this cheat, young master, I bought it." Young master, the most basic cheats of my martial arts cultivation are also different from others, how can paper be made of gold made of this fine silk. Say, how much? I bought as many as I could. Jing Xiuyuan said magnificently, and with his expression, he was a ruined young master.
"1000 taels, 1000 taels, this cheat is yours." Dahan saw that someone was willing to buy this cheats, and he was immediately happy, this cheats was 150 taels at the time, and he studied it for several years, but he has not studied anything, and this martial arts is really solved by others who only sell 50 taels, who will come to buy these 150 taels. In the eyes of the big man, he saw that this kid was a ruined young master, so he directly shouted a thousand taels.
"Do you really think I'm an idiot? Others sell at most 60 taels, but you sell 1,000 taels? Jing Xiuyuan pretended not to be angry, "At most, 500 taels, I won't buy any more young master." After saying a few words, he was complacent, as if he had gained a big bargain.
As soon as the big man heard that the 500 taels were sold, his eyes immediately narrowed, although this thing had been pressed in his hand for several years, but he made a lot of money, and hurriedly handed the book to Jing Xiuyuan, for fear that he would regret it.
Jing Xiuyuan gave the money, put the book away, and walked out of the hall with his chest puffed out triumphantly. The other stall owners in the hall all looked at the big man with envy, and then looked at Jing Xiuyuan in the hope that he could take a fancy to the things on his stall, while the other people who were shopping here looked at him with idiot eyes.
