After talking to Aunt Zhang for a while, and after eating a few steamed buns, Chen Jianghe left the steamed bun shop, and he was going to the blacksmith shop to quit his job. Now that my son has healed and has gotten a large sum of silver, there is no need to work as hard as before. Besides, instead of working for others, it is better to find some other livelihoods by yourself, anyway, now you have the capital.

"You stay at home, don't fool around with Wu Liang and those people...... Chen Yue habitually instructed, and then remembered that his son was normal, Chen Jianghe smiled to himself, and then raised his feet and left.

greeted the busy Aunt Zhang, and deliberately walked past Zhang Xiu'er on her toes, and Chen Yue also left the bun shop. Looking at Chen Yue's back, Zhang Xiu'er secretly took a sip and greeted Lu Xiucai, who had just entered the door, with a smile on her face.

Out of the bun shop, Chen Yue did not go home directly, but decided to make a big purchase! Now the house is empty, there is not even a table to eat, how can this be done!

The denomination of the silver ticket in his arms was too large, so Chen Yue decided to go to the money bank first to exchange some small amounts and some scattered silver taels. There is a Huitong money village on Xuanwumen Street, but you don't have to go too far. The silver tickets in Chen Yue's hands are all silver tickets issued by Huitong Qianzhuang, and they are redeemed when they see the tickets without being named, and the people of Qianzhuang don't care who the original owner of the silver tickets is, they only recognize the silver tickets and do not recognize people, which makes Chen Yue breathe a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that he would be like the robbers of later generations, robbing the bank and not being able to spend it.

The shopkeeper and the guy of Qian Zhuang had a very friendly attitude, and they did not show any strange colors because of Chen Yue's tattered clothes, which made Chen Yue feel good about them all of a sudden.

exchanged a hundred taels of silver for ten taels and five taels and one tael, and exchanged for some scattered silver taels, Chen Yue went out of this Huitong bank. Looking back at the high-end decoration of the bank, and then at the tattered clothes on his body, Chen Yue decided that the first step was to buy a few sets of brand new clothes first.

There is a ready-to-wear shop not far away, Chen Yue stepped in and bought himself two sets of brand-new clothes, the white cloth underwear and trousers that he wore inside, and the straight-embellished robe covered outside, the color was azure, and then the thin-soled fast boots made of cowhide.

chose two sets of brand-new clothes, and Chen Yue naturally couldn't forget his father Chen Jianghe. However, Chen Jianghe is the general flag of the army, so naturally he can't wear his own robe and clothing. Chen Yue chose two sets of underwear and trousers for him, as well as a placket (but there is no armor leaf on the armor, this is a military civilian uniform that sergeants and even ordinary people like to wear), and long-waisted military boots. There are tens of thousands of soldiers in the Beijing Division, and the military department will only issue a set of military uniforms every three years, and it is conceivable what a set of military uniforms will look like after three years. For poor soldiers, they have no money to buy clothes and can only make do, but for officers at all levels, they naturally do not want to wear tattered and shameful clothes, so they spend their own money to buy military uniforms. Therefore, most of the ready-to-wear stores have military uniforms, which are the business of the officers of the Beijing camp.

Putting on brand new clothes, the original set of rags and rags was naturally discarded at will, and the remaining set of clothes and his father's two sets of armor were instructed to pack up, leaving the address for the guy to send to his home in a while, Chen Yue got up and left the ready-to-wear shop. Four sets of clothes cost two taels of silver, which is really cheap!

The next morning, it's all about purchasing, crazy purchasing. Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, pots and pans, teapots and cups, everything has to be bought. The Eight Immortals table and matching chairs in the living room, the screen that separates the inside and outside, the toilet spittoon, and the daily necessities needed at home are complete, and Chen Yue stopped.

Raising his head and looking at the environment he was in, he was surprised to find that he had crossed the Xuanwu Gate and came to the outer city of Beijing.

All the purchased goods were ordered to be delivered to the store in the afternoon, and the merchants in this era are very sincere, and there will be no such thing as receiving money and not delivering the goods. Empty-handed, Chen Yue decided to take a good walk around the city to feel the scenery of the ancient capital hundreds of years ago.

It stands to reason that as the capital of a country, Beijing should be the most prosperous place in the world, but since he came out of Xuanwumen to the outer city, Chen Yue didn't feel that there was a prosperous place at all. Low buildings, sewage flowing on the streets, there are a lot of pedestrians, but most of them are full of sadness, a Xuanwu Gate seems to divide Beijing into two worlds, although there are many poor people in the inner city north of Xuanwu Gate, they can still see it according to their dress, and the outer city south of Xuanwu Gate seems to be a poor man's world, Chen Yue traveled all the way, and saw mostly people in tattered clothes, and few people in splendid clothes. In fact, what Chen Yue didn't know was that most of the people living in the inner city were imperial relatives, noble families, court officials, gentry families, merchants, and Beijing officers and soldiers and their families. The outer city is inhabited by most of the ordinary people, especially in recent years, the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Liaodong has been in the Kou for many years, repeatedly broken through the customs and looted, the land of Gyeonggi has been beaten by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of people were caught as cattle and horses to the Northeast as slaves, and in order to escape the robbery and slaughter of the Manchu Dynasty, there are also a large number of people who chose to flee to Beijing, hoping that the capital of the Ming Dynasty will save their lives.

Except for a few wealthy people who were able to buy houses in the inner city, the others had to live in the outer city, or rent a place to live, or simply build a shack to shelter from the wind and rain. Men go to the docks to go to the market to work as coolies, and women sew and mend and wash people, and live a difficult life. If there are those who can't go on, they sell their sons and daughters, and there are several human markets in the outer city, and Chen Yue happened to walk through one.

"This young master, do you need maids and maids, I have good goods here, all of them are twenty-eight years old, beautiful and soft." A man with buckteeth and a lewd face chattered in Chen Yue's ear.

Chen Yue looked up and saw more than a dozen girls in tattered clothes huddled there, leaving others to pick and choose. Looking at these unkempt girls, Chen Yue felt sorry in his heart, he never thought that he would be able to see this tragic situation of human trafficking with his own eyes. Most of these girls fell into such a situation because their families were ruined, and if they had a good life, they would be sold to a large family as a maid and maid, or they would be sold to ordinary families as child brides, and if they were poor, they would have to be reduced to a brothel in a green house.

Looking at these girls, Chen Yue was extremely reluctant in his heart, but he also knew that with his own ability, even if he could save a few, he couldn't save everyone.

Chen Yue sighed and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly stopped again. Since he chose to stay in Beijing with his father, he must strengthen his family as soon as possible. But there are only father and son in the family, and there is not even a family member. In that case, why not buy a few teenagers and train them to be your own family? Rescue them from their misery, give them food and clothing, and then train them in martial arts, in this case, the family should be the most loyal!
