Three days later, outside the city of Yidu.

The intersections here have become significantly larger, the flow of people has become more numerous, and the ground is full of horseshoe prints and rut marks, and it has already begun to see prosperity.

Song You sat under the stall at the intersection, eating wontons, and the three-flowered cat was lying next to his bowl, eating a ball of meat filling that Song You bought from the stall owner.

It was full of merchants coming and going, and the sound was noisy.

"Did you hear that? The fog ghost in that section of the cool water pass has been removed. ”

"Really?"

"The news released by the Zhengwei Dart Bureau, as well as the Wushan tea merchants, are spreading, saying that the section is safe...... The credit of Wushan tea merchants is still good, not to mention the Zhengwei dart game that eats this mouthful of rice, it is impossible to lie! ”

"Nanhua County has invited a master again?"

"I heard it's not. It seems that the young gentleman who has passed all the way has been easily removed. If there is no movement at all, the fog ghost will be gone. ”

"Ouch! That's amazing! ”

"Even the masters in Tai'an Temple don't necessarily have this ability!"

"Tai'an Temple? Tai'an Temple is also famous, and it is well repaired! How many masters are there in this Yidu, and which master is practicing in the city? ”

"It's the same, if you want to find a master, you have to go outside the city."

“……”

"Suck!"

Song You sucked on the hot ravioli.

As soon as he took a bite, the umami of the minced meat and green onions bloomed in his mouth, making him can't help but tilt his head and squint his eyes, feeling a long-lost touch.

Although he came to a relatively backward era, in the years in the Taoist temple, Song You has never treated himself badly in terms of tongue desire, and he even found a lot of ingredients that he couldn't eat in his previous life to make up for the deficit in other aspects - if he can't get chili tomatoes, then get some bear's paw baby fish.

I've eaten enough steamed cakes and steamed buns these days.

"Sanhua Niangniang, is it delicious?"

"It's delicious."

"That's good."

said that he would take Sanhua Niangniang to taste the food of different places, but it was not until today that he took it to eat meat, which is really ashamed.

The merchants were still talking about him and the Fog Ghost.

Foot merchants rely on merchants to make money, and whether the road is safe is indeed their most concerned issue. The bandits are okay, at least they want money, but ghosts are deadly.

Song You was not very interested in this, but thought about Yidu's accommodation while eating.

He plans to stay in Yidu for a few months.

Come here to stop and rest, feel the prosperity and culture of Yizhou Zhisuo, the third city in the world, and visit the surrounding famous mountains and temples.

Second, after a while, there will be the largest temple fair in the whole Yizhou, once a year, it is the most lively, maybe he can see the real wonderful things in this world that are worthy of his interest, and add a little fun to the boring life.

It will also be cheaper to buy horses and mules at temple fairs.

Then you have to find a place to live.

The inn is usually based on long-stay service, and it is convenient to be convenient, but the price may not be very good.

Renting may be cheaper.

"Suck!"

Song You finished eating the last wonton, and drank the soup clean with a bucket bowl, and when the Sanhua cat finished eating the meat filling, he took the water and poured it into the palm of his hand, and carefully fed the Sanhua Niangniang to drink, and then checked out and left.

A total of 20 cents.

A bowl of wontons is ten yuan, and the stall owner said that this ball of meat filling charges the money for a bowl of wontons, and there is no charge for eating wonton water.

A few steps further is the city gate.

The city gate made of blue bricks, full of potholes, is full of historical weather.

There is a military academy standing on the edge of the city to check the entry and exit, and there is a notice posted on the wall, which is roughly the meaning of the wanted notice and the ghost who wants to find a master to cut it off.

These notices are still somewhat interesting, among them, there are many wanted martial arts masters and Xuanmen people, and those local demons, Song You took a look, and most of the rewards for cutting them off are quite generous, but thinking about these demons and ghosts written on the notices and posted here are not so easy to deal with.

In addition, there are many tooth people and idlers here. In this day and age, there was no navigation, and they could provide services such as leading the way, helpers, and intermediaries. However, there seem to be very few Taoist priests among their target customers, or they are afraid that Taoist priests will not give money and tell them about fate, so they did not come to Song You's side in short.

Song You walked to the door, and when he was struggling to find a tooth man to help him rent a house, he suddenly met an acquaintance.

"Sir!"

turned his head to look, but it was the merchant surnamed Li.

It seems that he is going out of the city to go back to Wushan.

"Courteous."

Song You saluted him.

The cat under his feet also stood up with the person, and saluted the merchant surnamed Li in his example.

When did it start? It seems that after buying it a small fish as a dowry three days ago, it began to occasionally follow Song You's words and deeds.

"Oops!"

The merchant surnamed Li hurriedly returned the salute, and when he saw the cat saluting at his feet, he was stunned for a moment, and returned the salute, but he didn't dare to ask or slack off:

"Sir, this is just arriving in Yidu?"

"There was a few days of delay on the road."

"If the gentleman had arrived a day early, we would have made a banquet for him." The merchant surnamed Li felt regretful and didn't know if it was true or not.

"If you arrive a day early, you won't be able to touch it."

"That's just as well!" The merchant surnamed Li was stunned again, "I don't know how long Mr. stayed in Yidu?" Where to stay? ”

"I'm planning to find a tooth person, rent a house, and stay for a few months."

"There is a small courtyard behind our tea shop, although it is a little crowded, if Mr. wants to stay for a few days, he can also save some money."

"Don't bother."

"I don't think Sir can afford it. However, Yidu Fangya is very deep, I have a wife and brother, and he is also doing this business in Yidu, he is quite honest, if Mr. has a need, I will bring him to see Mr. The merchant surnamed Li said and grinned, "When the time comes, the villain will come to visit Mr. again." ”

"Then it's troublesome."

"Please sir wait a moment!"

The merchant surnamed Li turned around and ran, and brought a person not far behind him, explaining as he walked, and when he came to Song You's side, the two saluted again:

"Sir, this is my brother-in-law."

"Villain Wang Ji, I've seen Mr."

"I'll leave it to you."

"I will do my best."

Not long after, the merchant surnamed Li and his party left the city again, on the loess road, faint green hills, a string of figures became smaller and smaller.

And in the distance, there are still merchants and husbands coming.

Song You also followed Wang Ji into the city.

Yidu, like most cities of this era, was squarely planned, with horizontal and vertical roads, which were not easy to get lost, but it was easy to go around in circles.

Wang Ji did seem to be a real person, leading him to see a few houses, but either the price exceeded Song You's psychological expectations, or the quality of the house or the surrounding environment really did not meet Song You's needs.

There is no way, the housing prices in Dayan's city are not only the highest in the previous dynasties, but also ten times higher than those in the previous dynasties. The main reason is that Dayan abolished the "land equalization system", that is, no longer allocates land and homesteads to everyone, and at the same time, the development of the commercial economy has promoted the flow of population, and the population has begun to gather in the city, which has led to the first wave of soaring housing prices in history.

At present, the price of a house in Yidu City is afraid that it will start from a thousand times, and the rent will naturally skyrocket.

Song You was really helpless, so he had to come up with the method that the master had said: "I wonder if there are any haunted and unlucky houses in this city?" ”

Wang Ji was stunned when he heard this, and looked at him:

"Don't you like these house gentlemen?"

"Really?"

"Really! More than one set! There are those who will get sick and unlucky if they live in, there are those who will lose their fortune, and there are those who are haunted every night, which kind of gentleman wants? ”

"The lowest price."

"The villain knows that there is a house, the location is clean, but it is also convenient to buy vegetables, it is rumored to be haunted, and he has rented a few houses, and he quit the rent in a few days. In the past, the price was 1,000 yuan a month, if Mr. really had an idea, the villain took Mr. to see the house first, if he fancied, it was also a favor to the master's family. ”

"Thank you."

"Please follow me."

Wang Ji learned that Song You was coming to Yidu for the first time and renting a house for the first time, so he talked to him about some rental rules while walking.

Dayan's house is still more particular, mainly because Dayan's rent and house are strictly controlled by the government, and the rent must be through the house tooth, and only through the contract of the house can it be recognized by the government, so each house is registered by the government, and the commission is also stipulated. Even the government has issued many laws to protect the rental market, such as buying and selling without breaking the lease, which has been around since this era.

In addition, there is also a shop in the rental market, which is a government agency that controls the housing supply, that is, public rental housing.

What should I do if people come to the city to work, officials take up posts on the ground, and study in other places to prepare for exams and prepare for exams, and they can't afford to rent a house? You can rent a house with a shop.

Many things surprised Song You.

It's not that I'm surprised that these things exist, but that they already exist. Immediately after reacting, he felt that his surprise seemed to carry a kind of superiority and arrogance from a more advanced civilization, which was really undeserved, so he couldn't help but fall into reflection.

An hour later.

The two of them and a cat had come to a small courtyard.

This courtyard is located in the north of the city, which is a more valuable section of the road, with prosperous business and easy access to water.

The yard is in the middle of an alley, and there is a big tree not far from the door, and there are stone tables and benches under the big trees for people to enjoy the shade. The red paint of the wooden door has faded and become old, and the branches and leaves of the trees that were originally planted in the courtyard have protruded from the top of the courtyard wall.

There were pedestrians at the door who saw and Fang Yazi brought people to see the house, and they all cast strange eyes, and it seemed that there was indeed some problem.

"Mr. is capable......"

Wang Ji muttered, as if he was comforting himself.

The sound of unlocking had a rustic metallic texture, and as he pushed open the door, the courtyard appeared in front of Song You's eyes in the sour sound.

"Sir, you can go in and check it out."

Wang Ji said, but he stood at the door.

Song You didn't care, nodded and stepped into the courtyard gate.

It can be seen that the yard was originally relatively exquisite, there are plums and bamboos, but no one has lived for a long time, the weeds are deep, and the bamboo forest behind the house grows into the courtyard.

"The owner said that if you are willing to rent, it is okay to write only one month on the deed. According to the law, the money for the house is paid once a month, starting on the sixth day, and the first five days are the time for you to move and pack the house. ”

Song You paced in the courtyard, turned around and asked:

"Where's the price?"

"It's still a thousand a month."

"It's settled."

"Okay."

The contract is signed and the agreement comes into effect.

Song You sent Wang Ji away.

Sanhua Niangniang looked left and right in the courtyard, and when she came to the new environment, her heart began to be unsteady again, sniffing here and smelling there, as if she had a feeling, and suddenly turned her head and whispered to Song You: "Are we going to live here today?" ”

"I'll stay here tomorrow too."

"What about the day after tomorrow?"

"It's going to be a while."

"This house looks like there's a real ghost."

"Hmm."

"Why do we want to live in a ghost house?"

"Is Sanhua Niangniang afraid of ghosts?"

"Sanhua Niangniang is a cat god, and the cat god is not afraid of ghosts." The three-flowered cat followed him, like a fart, "But this is the house of ghosts." ”

"Because we were short of money, we had to bother him."

"I don't know what a lack of money is."

"It's just that there's not a lot of money."

"I don't know what money is."

"It's the things I use to buy cakes, steamed cakes and steamed buns on the road, and the things I use to buy meat for Sanhua Niangniang. It also costs money to buy a house to live in. If we buy a house with less money, we can spend more money to buy fish and meat to eat. ”

"Oh......"

Sanhua Niangniang seems to understand whether she understands or not.

Just wanted to ask what to do with the ghost, he saw Song You turn around and face the courtyard, gave a salute, and said calmly: "It's really expensive in Yidu, and I'm shy in my pocket, so I have to live here temporarily for a period of time in the future. ”

The three-flowered cat hurriedly followed suit:

"Hi Hi ...... Please"

The courtyard is quiet, only the wind blows the bamboo, it is close to dusk, but the sun has not yet dissipated, obliquely hitting the tile roof of the yard, the tile pine is like a colorful flower.

Regardless of the weeds in the garden, this is really a beautiful little yard.
