Chapter VIII: Prohibitions
In the blink of an eye, it was noon.
Chen Xuan invited Hong Yu to a restaurant called 'Fumanlou' and had a big meal.
After eating, Hong Yu returned to the martial arts hall to practice.
Chen Xuan was about to go home.
These six days are in the martial arts hall, twenty taels is just the tuition fee for practicing martial arts, eating and drinking in the martial arts hall, living in the martial arts hall is all about paying, the money on his body is all spent, and he has to go home to get some money.
In addition, the livelihood of selling fish has to be rebuilt.
If he doesn't sell the fish, he loses his source of income.
The rest of the business is no easier than selling fish.
For example, when he first crossed over, he thought about 'borrowing' poems that had been passed down through the ages in his previous life and selling them to the county study owner, hoping to sell them for a good price.
But poetry is about fame.
Chen Xuan is just a hairy boy who doesn't even have any fame, and his poems are not worth a few copper plates at all.
In short, for people who are not famous, poetry is not worth anything at all.
Relying on the memories of his previous life, Chen Xuan wrote several novels in the words of the rivers and lakes, excluding the cost of buying paper, pens, and ink, and only earned a few hundred dollars a month, that is, yellow books such as "Golden Vase Plum" and "Jade Futon" sold well and sold for a few taels of silver.
In comparison, fishing and selling fish make more money and lasts longer.
Although the yellow novel sells a lot, it can only make money for a while.
Also, writing a yellow novel is risky.
If you accidentally commit a taboo by any name, you will be imprisoned.
The rest of the money-making businesses are basically controlled by some families or gangs, and it is basically impossible for outsiders to get involved, and ordinary people want to take food from the mouths of the family gangs, which is self-defeating.
When he returned home, Chen Xuan found that there were still a few uneaten chickens and ducks left in the thatched hut, and the room where he lived was also a mess, with traces of being turned over.
Obviously, during the time he didn't go home, the thieves came back again.
Those chickens and ducks that haven't come to eat in a hurry are probably also bastards from the thief gang.
came to a few places where the money was hidden, the money was still there, only a dozen copper coins in the drawer were taken away, Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to clean up the room.
After tidying up his room, he went out of town to fish.
But when he came to the place where the Upong boats were docked, he found that the Upong boats were chained together, and his Upong boats were also among them, locked by a thick iron chain.
"Uncle Li, what's going on?" Chen Xuan saw an acquaintance on a Upeng boat, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Why are all the Upeng boats locked together, and who did this?" β
"It's the Chen family!" The middle-aged man named Uncle Li saw Chen Xuan and said, "Where have you been these days, I don't even know the announcement issued by the government." β
"Government announcement, what announcement?"
Chen Xuan asked.
"A few days ago, the government's river county issued new regulations, tomorrow the government will start to govern the river, during the river management period people are prohibited from fishing in the Canglan River, only the fishing approval approved by the government can fish."
Uncle Li explained.
"What, during the river control, the people were forbidden to fish in the Canglan River." Chen Xuan's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Then what about us fishermen who make a living from fishing?" β
"Did the government say how long it will last?"
Chen Xuan immediately asked.
"Nope." Uncle Li shook his head, and then said: "As for those of us fishermen who make a living from fishing, we can join the Tianhe Gang, the Tianhe Gang has the fishing approval document approved by Hedao County, we help the Tianhe Gang fish, and the Tianhe Gang pays us wages, although it is not as much as fishing ourselves, but we can barely make a living."
The fishing boats of the Tianhe Gang are all big boats, so you don't have to worry about being attacked by water monsters and destroying the boats. β
"Can't fish!"
Chen Xuan sighed, he didn't expect the government to suddenly control the river.
Fishermen who make a living from fishing can only join the Tianhe Gang and receive the wages of the Tianhe Gang to make a living.
The Tianhe Gang, which is a more powerful gang than the Iron Wolf Gang.
More importantly, the Tianhe Gang is not a gang that fights and kills, but has an official identity, and the leader of the Tianhe Gang has the official position of Qingshui County River Patrol, and his rank is from the ninth grade.
The Tianhe Gang is mainly responsible for assisting the work of the Qingshui County River Department.
Among them, it includes water transportation, logistics, river management, flood prevention, river embankment construction, etc......
In the words of Chen Xuan's previous life, the Tianhe Gang actually belongs to the auxiliary police without a formal establishment.
During the period when the River Department was governing the river, the people were forbidden to fish privately, and only the Tianhe Gang under the River Department could fish if they had the approval of the head of the River Department, Dao Dao County.
If anyone dares to violate the government's ban and fish privately, it is needless to say that the end will be needless to say.
In this world, this is the life of ordinary people.
Most people can only make ends meet, and it is very incorrect to be able to avoid starvation.
If you want to get ahead, it is as difficult as the sky.
Practicing martial arts is a way out, but it is also a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops.
There are so many people practicing martial arts in the world, but there is only one in ten thousand who can make a name for themselves.
In Chen Xuan's memory, there have been several times before to control the river.
Each time the river is treated, the period is more than half a year.
If he didn't join the Tianhe Gang, then he would have to find another way out.
"First of all, the store in the Changningfang vegetable market will be returned."
When he returned home, Chen Xuan found the contract document for renting the shop from the Ye family, came to the Ye family to return the shop, and got back the ten taels of deposit paid when renting the shop at that time.

"Since I can't go fishing in the Canglan River for the time being, then I will go all out to cultivate the Giant Bear Gong, and complete the first level of proficiency of the Giant Bear Gong as soon as possible, and obtain the second layer of the Giant Bear Gong."
Chen Xuan glanced at the progress of the Giant Bear Skill in the proficiency panel, and then devoted himself to practicing martial arts.
In addition to eating and sleeping every day, the rest of the time is spent practicing martial arts.
When you are tired of practicing, you will rest, and when you are rested, you will continue to practice.
The proficiency of the first layer of the Giant Bear Gong has increased rapidly.
Time flies.
Ten days later.
Chen Xuan stood in front of a wooden stake to train.
Bang bang β
The stake shook violently, making a series of violent thumping sounds.
Chen Xuan's moves are coherent, and the offensive is like a raging storm, sometimes punching, sometimes kicking.
"Giant bear slapping trees!"
Reaching the final closing move, Chen Xuan used the killing move in the Giant Bear Gong.
Chen Xuan slapped out with a palm, and a force penetrated his whole body.
With this palm, the strength in Chen Xuan's body came from the feet, to the legs, to the waist, to the back, to the arms, and then to the hands.
Bang.
As Chen Xuan's palm landed on the wooden stake, the wooden stake immediately shattered.
He left a clear palm print on the stake.
