It is said that life is a practice, and the four essential elements of cultivation are wealth, couples, law, and land!

These four elements are indispensable to ordinary people, and the same is true of Xu Zhengdao, who is a monk. For him at present, the 'couple' in these four elements can be ignored for the time being. He now has all the exercises and places to practice.

The only wealth left can be money, medicinal herbs, or various cultivation resources. But a lot of cultivation resources actually require money. It is said that 'it is difficult for a man to be rich and difficult to be a man without money', and the same is true for monks.

At present, Xu Zhengdao lives without worrying about food and clothing, and even if other Xuan cultivators crave the unavoidable aura, he can sign in a lot every day. But he still understands that if he really wants to move to the city to live, he will also face the trouble of lack of money.

Although you can rely on hunting, you can hunt more prey and sell it in the city. However, the consequences of this can not only attract attention, but also easily cause damage to the ecology of the jungle. And the money he needs is not a small amount of money.

To move to the city, Xu Zhengdao first had to solve the problem of housing. Although you can stay at the house of Liu Daneng, a butcher with a good relationship, it is not a long-term solution. The important thing is that if he lives in someone else's house, how can he concentrate on cultivation?

It wasn't until the end of the cultivation on the first day of the Lunar New Year, looking at the two big yellow croakers that Xu Zhengdao suddenly realized: "It seems that the system is still very humane, and I know that I need money to enter the city after the New Year, so I specially gave me two big yellow croaker."

Compared to previous years, buying and selling a home is now easier. Those who own their own homes and don't want to stay in Kyoto will often choose to sell them. But each of these houses with private property rights is not cheap! ”

It is said that 'money is used when it is used to hate less', and for Xu Zhengdao, who plans to settle down in the city, he also understands this difficulty. If you want to move into the city, in addition to buying a residence, it is also worth considering what to do after entering the city.

After the seventeen-year-old Xu Zhengdao, he should still be studying in the future. But in this era, unless you are admitted to high school or technical secondary school, you are basically facing employment problems. The boy is seventeen years old, which is already considered an adult in the eyes of many people.

Children who do not go to school at this age already have to learn to reduce the burden on their families, at least know how to fend for themselves. Even in the countryside, if the family conditions allow, a boy of this age can start a family.

Thinking of these troubles to be solved, Xu Zhengdao was also distressed: "No matter what era it is, it is not easy to find a job and settle down in the city. Even if you can't find a job for the time being, you must solve the problem of settling in first. ”

Compared with buying a house and settling down, being willing to spend money can basically solve the problem. On the contrary, it was a matter of finding a job, and Xu Zhengdao felt that it was a little tricky. In the past few years, a large number of young intellectuals who went to the countryside have returned to the city, and there are still many people who have not found a job!

Workers in this era are undoubtedly very popular. But there are only a few factories in the city, so there are naturally only a few jobs. Not to mention entering the factory as a regular worker, even if it is a temporary position, I am afraid that there are countless people competing for it.

It doesn't matter if Xu Zhengdao is a young man with no academic qualifications, it is really not easy to find a suitable job in the city!

With the mentality of taking one step at a time, Xu Zhengdao decided to go to the city to see the situation. In his current situation, it shouldn't be difficult to support himself. If you really can't find a job, then you will be a jobless vagrant for a while.

This kind of young man who has nothing to do every day is not uncommon in the city now. What's the harm in having one more of them?

Xu Zhengdao, who had a decision, did not wait for the ice and snow in the mountains to melt, and waited for the people in the city to enter the city again after the Lantern Festival. The reason why I came here at this time is more because I feel that during the Spring Festival, people in the city are busy with the festival, and many things will be dealt with later.

After the Lantern Festival, it is called the real Spring Festival. Both factories and institutions have officially started work for a few days. If someone wants to sell their house and go away, they should choose to do so after the Spring Festival.

The situation was similar to that of entering the city before, and Xu Zhengdao, who relived the sour taste of the shuttle, came to Beiwan Hutong again. For Xu Zhengdao's arrival, Liu Daneng's mother and son were very enthusiastic.

After chatting a few words, Liu's mother also said directly: "Da Neng, you greet Mr. Xiao, I'll cook first." Mr. Xiao, you can't leave this time, you have to stay at my house for a meal, okay? ”

"Done! Auntie, you say so, do I dare to say it? ”

When Liu's mother turned around and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch, Liu Daneng also smiled and said: "The last time you went to the city, my mother knew that you had been here, and specially sent her medicine, but she didn't keep you for a meal, and she was stunned to talk to me for several days!" ”

"Lady is so polite! Brother Liu, I went into the city this time and wanted to ask you for something! ”

Hearing this, Liu Daneng hurriedly said: "Little sir, look at what you said, you have something to say!" ”

"That's right! I've been in the country before, and now I want to move back to the city. I'm sure you know a little bit about my situation. Now there's a question that I need to buy a house to settle in, and I don't know if you have a way to do that. ”

Integrating the memories of his predecessor's mind, plus knowing some information about the cheap master, Xu Zhengdao was very careful every time he entered the city. Basically, they buy the daily necessities they need and leave immediately without stopping at all.

Even if he knew in his heart that although the predecessor family had a sudden accident, there should be some people who survived. In addition, there are many protégés and former officials in the family where the predecessor is located, and if you are really willing to find someone, you should still be able to find some relationships.

Not only him, but even the deceased master actually has some connections in Kyoto. From beginning to end, Xu Zhengdao had no contact with these people. The reason for this is that in addition to the weakness of the 'dove occupying the magpie's nest', it is more afraid of trouble.

Whether it is the family where the predecessor is located, or the identity of the master before leaving Beijing, it is not simple. As an otaku in his previous life and as a monk in this life, he was reluctant to deal with those people. A lot of the time, he thinks it's good to be an ordinary person.

Because of these concerns, Xu Zhengdao befriended a market vendor like Liu Daneng, and even preferred to ask him for help with something. It's just that Xu Zhengdao knows in his heart that if someone in the family really survives, they will meet sooner or later.

But Xu Zhengdao hopes that at that time, he will have more self-preservation strength and be able to say 'no' to many things he is unwilling to do!

Knowing that Xu Zhengdao wanted to buy a house and settle down, Liu Daneng was also surprised: "Do you want to buy a house?" Building or bungalow? ”

"Can you buy a building?"

"Yes, yes, but I don't have that relationship. If you want to buy a bungalow or a large courtyard, I asked someone to inquire, and you should still be able to find it. If I buy a house, I'm afraid I won't be able to help, and few people will sell this kind of house! ”

As Liu Daneng said, at present, these ordinary people living in the Hutong compound yearn to move into the kind of five- or six-story buildings. But according to Xu Zhengdao's understanding, the commercial housing that will bloom everywhere in the future has just been trialed in the south.

Nowadays, if you want to live in a building in Kyoto, you can only rely on the allocation of factories or units. Outsiders want to buy it, but they can't really buy it with money alone!

"Brother Liu, buildings are not considered, you can find a bungalow with a yard, or a smaller courtyard house. I don't like to be quiet or not, even if it's a separate house, it doesn't matter. I don't care if it's a little bit off. ”

In Xu Zhengdao's view, the existence of the urban area is now basically within the Third Ring Road in later generations. Even if the location is off, I believe it will become lively in a few years. The speed of urban change is something that many people would never have imagined.

After listening to his request, Liu Daneng quickly said: "Done!" I'll inquire about this after dinner. I'll tell you when I have news. Wait, you're not in a hurry to leave this time when you enter the city, are you? ”

Thinking that Xu Zhengdao took the initiative to come to the door every time, he wanted to find Xu Zhengdao but didn't know where to look. To his surprise, Xu Zhengdao directly told him that he would stay in the city for a few more days this time until the matter of buying a house was done.

This also means that he wants to know where Xu Zhengdao lives outside the city, I'm afraid he still doesn't have a chance!
