Capital

"Ahem, ahem!"

There was a coughing sound in a small courtyard house in Jintaifang.

Fang Yuan's parents were businessmen who came to the capital to do business, and they saved some money by doing business, and bought this 300-square-meter courtyard house in Jintaifang from a down-and-out magnate.

After the death of his parents, Fang Yuan, a ruined son who had no discipline, did not do his job, and became nostalgic for the green buildings and brothels in the capital, and in less than two years, he lost all the thousands of taels of silver left by his parents, and the family also fell into a bleak situation in front of him, and his savings were less than fifty taels of silver.

The entrance of the courtyard is a courtyard of dozens of square meters, due north is the bedroom of Fang Yuan, there are three houses, the entrance is the reception lobby, one is the bedroom, and the other is the study.

There are three houses on the left side, which are the kitchen, the latrine, and the room of the old servant's seventh sister-in-law, who is a distant relative of Fang Yuan, who took care of Fang Yuan's daily life when his parents were still there, and is a loyal servant.

There is a suite on the right side, which Fang Yuan rented to an old man who coughed all day long, and the coughing sound in the courtyard was made by this old man.

It has been three days since Fang Yuan crossed over, and before the crossing was an executive of a company, he came to this loser after the crossing.

Late at night, the seventh sister-in-law knocked on the door with a teapot full of hot water, and asked at the door, "Little master, the tea is ready." ”

Fang Yuan opened the door, he was about twenty years old, with a tall figure and a beautiful face, and the room was simply furnished, with only a few pieces of old furniture, and there was no luxury in it.

The seventh sister-in-law put the tea on the table, and said, "Young master, it's time for you to close the family, there is no woman in this family, and it is too lonely." ”

Fang Yuan took a sip of tea and said, "The family can't break much silver, which woman is willing to marry in and suffer?" ”

"If the young master had saved a little over the years, he would have married a family member a long time ago."

The seventh sister-in-law sighed and said, "I still have a coffin book here, if the young master really has the heart to start a family, I will go to Mrs. Li to find out if there is a suitable girl." ”

She was willing to spend her own coffin to marry Fang Yuan, that is, she regarded Fang Yuan as her own son, how could Fang Yuan use her money, and hurriedly refused her kindness, "Seventh sister-in-law, the world is not good now, the thief and the Houjin Tartar don't know when they will hit the capital again, and the matter of marriage is still slow!" ”

The seventh sister-in-law didn't have Fang Yuan's worries, and said to herself, "The court, it's not the same who comes to Houjin and King Chuang, the life of the common people is still like this, I heard that there is no need to pay food after opening the door to welcome King Chuang." ”

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, it seems that the current Ming Dynasty is not only a military and political collapse, but even the people's hearts have collapsed. Under the root of the imperial city, the feet of the Son of Heaven are still like this, if you go out of the capital, the people will be worried!

"Ahem, ahem!"

The old man's cough was heard again in the next suite, still loud in the quiet night.

The seventh sister-in-law complained, "Little master, the person in the next room is coughing more fiercely these days, I'm afraid he has tuberculosis!" It's contagious, or we might as well not rent it! ”

Fang Yuan, the traverser, knew that the so-called tuberculosis was tuberculosis in modern medicine, and it was indeed an infectious disease.

The previous Fang Yuan was willing to rent to this sick old man because the old man paid a high rent of ten taels of silver a month, and the Fang family had no source of income at all.

The old man paid his rent in a timely manner, not only did he not default, but he even paid it in advance from time to time. The whereabouts are also very strange, every day when there is no one in the courtyard, I go out to buy a large bag of medicinal herbs and food, and when I return to the courtyard, I get into the room and lock myself up.

The seventh sister-in-law had seen him a few times, but after Fang Yuan crossed over, she hadn't seen him once.

Forced by life, Fang Yuan was also very helpless, "Seventh sister-in-law, if you change someone who is not painful or sick, who is willing to pay the rent of ten taels of silver per month?" He rarely goes out except for eating and dumping excrement, so he doesn't have that room! ”

The seventh sister-in-law thought about it for a while, and if she didn't enter that house, she couldn't afford to provoke it and couldn't hide?

Fang Yuan instructed the seventh sister-in-law to go to rest earlier, sent her out, and closed the door.

Fang Yuan, who was lying on the bed, was not thinking about marrying, the eldest husband could become famous, why didn't he have a beautiful wife and concubine?

The most important thing he pondered was where he should go from here.

Fang Yuan knew the history, the Ming army had been besieged in Songjin for two years, and was about to be defeated in one or two months, and the Ming Dynasty completely lost the last strong army that could fight with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and would die in two years!

The troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty are about to begin!

Fang Yuan, the ordinary people in the capital, are the first to be affected by the war, how to avoid the crisis and live well in this troubled era?

With Fang Yuan, there is also a Taobao system, in short, Fang Yuan is the host of this Taobao system.

This Taobao system is a medium that connects to the former Taobao Mall, and can provide any kind of existing products bought and sold on Taobao. But what needs to be paid is the gold and silver of this era, and only the real gold and silver are received, and copper coins and treasure money are not collected.

Due to the sufficient amount of silver in the Ming Dynasty and the loss of time and space, the exchange ratio agreed between the system and Fang Yuan was that 1 tael of silver could be exchanged for 100 yuan of modern banknotes, and 1 tael of gold could be exchanged for 1,000 yuan. The freight of the goods delivered by the system across time and space is 10-30 times the original price of the goods according to the weight of the goods.

Fang Yuan was very short of money after crossing, and he had no capital, and he couldn't think of how to make money by relying on the Taobao system for a while. What's more, at this juncture of troubled times, human life is not as good as a dog, the so-called husband is not guilty, he is guilty, and the money he makes is just a fat sheep that has been slaughtered.

Therefore, Fang Yuan had not made a single transaction in this Taobao system after crossing over.

"Ahem, ahem!"

There was an annoying cough sound in the suite next door again, and Fang Yuan, the previous loser, chose not to pay attention to this sick old man, as long as he paid money monthly.

After crossing over, Fang Yuan was aroused by this strange old man's curiosity.

If you can afford a high rent of ten taels of silver a month, you are not an ordinary person, why don't you buy a house to live in by yourself, and find some servants to serve, so you have to hide in your own small courtyard?

To treat tuberculosis, it is necessary to use modern Western medicine to fight tuberculosis virus.

Since this old man is a rich man, if he can cure this tuberculosis for him, maybe he can charge him some high-priced medicine, at least next month's expenses will not be worried.

Fang Yuan secretly opened the door, and saw that the light in the seventh sister-in-law's room had been extinguished, so he came to the old man's door lightly, and as soon as he approached, he smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine, it seemed that the old man was still boiling medicine in the room alone.

"Knock knock!"

Fang Yuan knocked lightly on the door.

The old man's impatient voice came from the room, "Who?!" ”

Fang Yuan only heard this voice screaming, it didn't seem to be a normal man's tone, and asked again, "I'm Fang Dongfangyuan, old man, it's been such a night, and I haven't slept yet!" ”

The old man's angry voice came from the room, "I owe you rent?" ”

This old man was very vigilant, and it was really difficult to communicate, Fang Yuan hurriedly explained, "No, I just heard that you coughed badly, did you have tuberculosis?" ”

The old man obviously didn't want to communicate with him more, and asked, "Are you trying to take the opportunity to increase the rent?" ”

Fang Yuan hurriedly said, "Old man, I have an ancestral method that can cure tuberculosis, do you want to give it a try?" ”

The room was silent again, and the old man was obviously a little moved by what he said, and finally spoke after a long silence, "That's it! Tuberculosis can't be cured, you can only drag it like this, you want to blackmail me for money! ”

Tuberculosis was a terminal disease in ancient times, and it was reasonable for the old man not to believe in Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan knew that it was difficult to convince him for a while, so he said, "You can try the medicine first, and then pay after it has a curative effect." ”

The old man in the room hesitated for a while, he didn't believe Fang Yuan's words, but he still held on to the hope of what happened, walked to the door and talked to Fang Yuan through the wooden door, "Okay, you bring the medicine, if it really works, it's easy to say how much gold and silver." ”

"Good! Deal! ”

Fang Yuan reached an agreement with the old man in a few words, whistled easily, returned to the house and lay down, and said to himself, "Go to Tmall to see if there are any anti-tuberculosis drugs for sale!" ”
