"Xiao Ke, this bed is a little crowded."

In the dead of night, Lin Mu slept in the wing room of Uncle Fang's house.

Because it was too late, the slave fell asleep after eating, Xiao Ke carried the slave to the side room, and then three people lay on a small bed.

Lying on Lin Mu's side, Xiao Ke thought for a while and said, "It's a little crowded, don't press the slaves, young master, let's get closer." ”

Lin Mu was going to die, Xiao Ke stuck to it after speaking, he could feel the waves on his back, this girl was definitely intentional.

"It's hot." Xiao Ke whispered in Lin Mu's ear, "Is the young master hot?" ”

Lin Mu was about to explode, and the tent that was erected could hold a watermelon.

If it weren't for the young minds of slaves, he would have become a beast.

"It's hot, young master, let's go out and cool off for a while." Lin Mu didn't know what else to do under this girl, she had already gone through personnel, and the woman who knew the taste of the marrow was too terrible.

"Hahaha......"

In Xiao Ke's suppressed laughter, Lin Mu slipped out of the door.

Outside, the stars are dotted overhead, and the Milky Way seems to have fallen for nine days.

Taking a few deep breaths, Lin Mu calmed down.

The dark night is the easiest to make people fall into deep thought, and in the thick darkness, Lin Mu can't help but think about the future.

Although today's Hua Dynasty maintains a prosperous scene, behind this prosperity is a crisis that may erupt at any time.

The Jin Dynasty had long since taken root in the north, establishing a dynasty to rule over the Han people in the land, no longer a simple nomadic tribe.

Over the years, the Jin Dynasty invaded several times, and the Hua Dynasty not only lost the city but also sued for peace with annual tribute, so as to maintain the current peace.

But the ambitions of the Jin Dynasty could not be satisfied.

In addition to the threat from the north, in Lin Mu's view, the deeper crisis is the Westerners.

The importation of opium has exposed the intentions of these countries.

Sooner or later, these colonists will have to show their sharp fangs.

Thinking of this, Lin Mu couldn't help but panic in his heart, although this was a parallel time and space, he didn't want to see the Han people suffer a hundred years of humiliation.

What's more, he still has a daughter, and in such an environment, money alone can't protect her, and he doesn't want to be part of the army of refugees.

Therefore, his revival of the Lin family is not just to be a rich man, but to protect himself in troubled times.

He was thinking about it when he suddenly looked down and saw a dark shadow, which almost scared him to death.

"Is it a human or a ghost?" Lin Mu instinctively kicked over.

"Oops." It's a flamboyant voice.

"Eight thieves, I came to listen to the root of the wall in the middle of the night, what are your intentions?" Lin Mu kicked again.

This Zhang Yang is heartfelt, but he is a cheap skin, and he has been beaten up before, and Uncle Fang has no choice.

"Young master, you misunderstood, it was my father who asked me to keep vigil, oops!" Zhang Yang shouted as he ran.

"Why didn't you say it sooner." Lin Mu put away his feet.

"He's drunk and confused." was half dead in a flamboyant manner, and he was beaten in vain.

Lin Mu's eyes rolled, "Where is your room?" ”

Zhang Yang pointed behind him.

"Keep a good vigil, the slave will have to make a mistake, and tomorrow I will let Shan Hu knock out the two front teeth under you." Lin Mu warned.

"Young master, the little vigil slave is still fine." The Lin family was rebuilt, Zhang Yang began to follow the rules, and his title changed.

Lin Mu nodded and went to sleep in Zhang Yang's room.

The next day, Lin Mu woke up to the sound of roosters.

Today they have a lot of things to do, and when they are all together, he handed over the drawings of the shuttle loom to Uncle Zhang, and asked him to go to Jiangning City to find a carpenter to order a hundred shuttle looms.

As for the springs on the loom, he prepared to install them when all the looms arrived.

In addition to the loom and the yard, Zhang Yang used to be a person who listened to all directions and watched the six roads.

So he asked Zhang Yang to lead the way, and the single tiger guarded, and he and Xiao Ke led the slave slave together.

As for Hu's bookkeeper, he was not idle, he took two more jade bracelets from the city gold store and asked him to go to the pawnshop to pawn.

Originally, he thought that the money was enough after making a bracelet, but he found that he was actually very poor.

Because the price of Jiangning City is really high.

A courtyard of 400 square meters can't be bought without 8,000 taels of silver, which is basically equivalent to 2.4 million yuan.

This is still the yard of a small family, and if the yard of a large family does not have tens of thousands of taels of silver, you don't have to think about it.

However, the high house price and the high cost of land are not special cases of the Chinese Dynasty, and Su Zhe, one of the eight major families in the Song Dynasty, bought an ordinary house in Kaifeng during the Song Dynasty, and spent 9,400 yuan, which is equal to 9,400 taels of silver.

During the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the imperial court hired people to copy books, and each person could earn 3,500 wen per month, which was equivalent to a little more than 3 yuan.

In other words, if this clerk buys an ordinary house in Kaifeng, he has to save money without eating or drinking for more than 261 years before he can afford Su Zhe's house.

And the housing prices in the Ming Dynasty were not cheap, at that time, a small house required three or four thousand taels of silver, and the county order of Qinghe County, from the seven grades of national civil servants, the annual salary was only three hundred and fifty taels.

In comparison, the prices of the Hua Dynasty also belonged to the middle and upper class.

Based on this, he asked Hu to be a bracelet, and a thousand taels of silver was really not enough to toss a few times.

"Young Master, this is it." After walking five miles south from Jinguang Temple, Zhang Yang stopped in front of the courtyard with stone lions at the door.

Lin Mu glanced at the plaque on it and said, "Isn't this the courtyard of Yin Zhudi of the former Jiangning Mansion?" ”

"That's right, Zhu Fu Yin has long been on the rise, and now he is a big official in Lin'an City, this yard has been resold several times and fell into the hands of the Sun family, and the Sun family is reluctant to sell it, and it can't be used, so it is rented."

"But the Sun family of the Sun family's pawnshop?" Lin Mu asked.

"It's this Sun family."

Lin Mu nodded, the Sun family is still more reputable in Jiangning, "How much silver is per month?" ”

"According to the Sun family, this house has all kinds of beds and bedding, and it can be lived in at any time, fifty taels of silver a month."

This is the ancient version of the bag that is, Lin Mu swept his eyes at the chic scenery inside and said: "Fifty taels is fifty taels, let's live." ”

"Okay." Zhang Yang's eyebrows fluttered happily, this courtyard is not as good as the Lin family's compound, but it is much better than the dilapidated house they rent now.

Let Zhang Yang take the silver and go to the Sun family to make a contract.

Lin Mu and Xiao Ke went back to clean up and moved over.

Uncle Zhang came back soon, he went to this trip to take care of the loom has been done safely, and at the same time rented a large courtyard outside the city as a weaving site, which Jiangning City really can't afford to rent.

At noon, the Hu account room also returned, and he took three thousand taels of silver for two jade bracelets.

The quality of the bracelet that Lin Mu gave him this time was slightly better, and the price was reasonable.

handed over the silver on his body to the Hu account room for management, and Lin Mu asked the Hu account room to move over quickly.

In this way, the Lin family will be able to restore a little bit of what it used to be.
