Chapter 19 Making a Living
Leng Zhuo is very poor, since he bought enough psychic array materials to be used once in the time-honored store, the gold coins in Leng Zhuo's pocket have shrunk significantly, and Zhao Yun's psychic can only be carried out after the house is built, after all, the psychic ceremony is very important, and Leng Zhuo can't just find a place to arrange the psychic array.
There are still twenty-one gold coins in his pocket, if it is just for the cost of eating, it is barely enough, but once the first psychic fails, Leng Zhuo has no money in hand to carry out it once, who can guarantee that Zhao Yun can do it at one time, it seems that the psychic ceremony, luck is also very important.
Although the Leng family was awarded the earl, but the territory is in Chuzhou in the south, Chuzhou is considered the south, the land is fertile, it is a well-known land of fish and rice, it can be said that this fief is not bad, but the problem is that although the land is fertile, it is not so easy to plant, although the Tianlong Empire is based on the nobility to rule Kyushu, but the Tianlong Empire adopts the national policy of guarding the country with the aristocracy.
That is to say, as long as it is a noble, it must take on the heavy responsibility of guarding the frontier, and the noble fiefs of the Tianlong Empire are all sealed in the twenty-seven borders of the world, and are allowed to raise private troops according to the title, but there are strict restrictions on the number, in addition, there are also regulations, although there are superiors among the nobles, they cannot be unified without being a commander, that is to say, unless they are sent by the emperor to command, there is no subordinate relationship between the private soldiers of the nobles, that is to say, you are a viscount, one level higher than the baron, but this viscount cannot call the baron's private soldiers because the lord is one level higher。
Twenty-seven frontiers, is not a peaceful realm, the Tianlong Empire has been founded for more than 500 years, but it is not a unified continent, the north, thousands of miles of wasteland, and even the extremely cold land further north, inhabited by many tribes of Beihu, the east of the sea, there are large islands, there are Dongyi tribes, the south, the land of thousands of miles of Hengchuan, but also inhabited by countless Nanban, and in the west, there are Tianfang Xihu countries.
The Tianlong Empire occupies the richest Kyushu in the East, whether it is Beihu, Dongyi, Nanban, and the countries of Heaven are all salivating over it, waiting for the opportunity to enter Kyushu, so there will be large and small frictions in the twenty-seven border areas every year, so most of the money of the nobles in the border areas is invested in private soldiers, except for a few nobles who are very rich, most of the nobles only enjoy status, but in fact, it is said that the son is more than the inland rich merchants' families.
Most of the nobles will open some shops in inland states and counties to earn some money to supplement the family, but the Leng family belongs to the upstart, from Leng Zhuo's grandfather's generation, he was knighted because of his military exploits, plus his grandfather killed people, but he was not good at business, so the Leng family lived tightly, and Leng Zhuo's father should have been the key to the Leng family's prosperity, but he died in a battle against Nanban, so the Leng family has a green and yellow background, and the family is not prosperous and the current situation is declining, and Leng Zhuo has been unable to psychic for three consecutive years, and the Leng family is likely to be more expensive than three generations.
Knowing the current situation of the Leng family from the memory of Brother Wastewood, Leng Zhuo secretly sighed, Brother Wastewood, I finally know why you even dare to move out the forbidden Ancient Psychic Array to use it, the burden on your shoulders is too heavy, but you can't throw this burden to me.
Shaking his head, he emptied all the things in his head, the old man is still strong and healthy, he can be chic for a few years, but it is impossible to take money from home, do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, or think about how to make money, do business, Leng Zhuo has no connections, no capital, and the most important thing is that he can't get out of the gate of this college.
Twenty-one gold coins, you can do something, not only to have a small cost, but also to be able to make a lot of money, Leng Zhuo didn't think of a reason when he broke his head, just when his mind was a mess, Leng Zhuo suddenly glanced at the psychic hundred generals in his hand.
Yes, engaging in magazines, what is more profitable than the cultural industry, although he studied architecture, but the magazines are not less, especially some third-rate magazines, the slim and cold Wei Zhilan unconsciously appeared in his mind, the great Tang Xuan, and the Dongfang Fu who played with people a few times, and even the little beauty Beicheng family Bing girl who saw Tang Xuan is quite distinctive, beauty rankings, when I was in college, there were many wolf friends who did this, and this kind of gossip seems to be the most attractive, someone is chasing it, naturally not afraid of no money。
Although Leng Zhuo has never eaten pork, but he has seen pigs run, it is not difficult to do this, the most important thing is that the capital is small, who has the best money, except for women and children, it is a pervert, if it is done well, the money is not a lot, Leng Zhuo couldn't help grinning when he thought about it, and a few drops of crystal saliva were left at the corner of his mouth.
The large square business district at the foot of the mountain of Shengtian Academy is the most lively and prosperous business area in the whole Shengtian Academy, because it is at the foot of the mountain, so there are many kinds of goods bought and sold, even if it is high-end goods, it is half cheaper than the goods sold by the shops on the mountain, there are many rich nobles in Shengtian Academy, but the number is more down-and-out nobles, commoners and even slaves, these people are frequent visitors to the square at the foot of the mountain.
The printing technology of this otherworld is still very high, at least the books Leng Zhuo reads are very exquisite, and even some books have illustrations, and this illustration is even better than the technology on the earth.
In the middle of October, although it is the late mid-autumn period, but this autumn tiger is still unforgiving, especially near noon this period, it is even more hot, the shop of Li Ji Bookstore is not big, but it is very famous, the appearance of the bookstore owner is compared with the big-bellied Maitreya Buddha, bald head, round face, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, sitting on a rocking chair in the bookstore, shaking the pu fan in one hand, holding a small teapot in one hand, taking a sip from time to time.
"Boss, I'm done moving all the books today, if it's okay, I'll leave first!"
"Well, go to the counter and get fifty copper plates yourself, by the way, mouse, the business of my bookstore has also begun to fade, there is no need to hire people, you have to find a new job!"
The man known as the rat counted fifty copper coins on the counter, and after collecting them, he shook his head and said, "The money I earn from these words is enough for me to eat, and I have to hurry up and cultivate in the remaining two months, and strive to graduate one day earlier, and then I won't have to do odd jobs here to make money!"
Leng Zhuo looked at the signboard of Li Ji Bookstore, stepped in, and bumped into a person head-on, Leng Zhuo took two steps back, and was supported by Zhao Yun behind him, but the other party fell to the ground, and the copper coin in his hand was spilled on the ground, Leng Zhuo hurriedly stepped forward: "Brother, are you okay!"
"It's okay, it's okay, but you didn't hurt anything!" The mouse waved his hand again and again, but when he raised his head, Leng Zhuo was stunned, and subconsciously touched his money bag, still there, "No, I'll help you pick it up!" Leng Zhuo said and bent down, but his subconscious actions just now were a little good-looking, but it was no wonder that the person in front of him, with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, eyes were slippery, and he was born with a thief.
"No, I'll pick it up myself, you're here to buy books, you're in the right place, these books are all rubbed by Shopkeeper Li's own rubbing, which can be regarded as the cheapest in the academy, the quality is also excellent, and there are many types, many nobles also come here to buy, you see for yourself!"
"Hehe, the mouse is right, our book has no other advantages, that is, it is cheap, the quality is passable, although it is not as good as the hardcover book in the Shutao Pavilion on the mountain, but it is good quality and cheap!" Maitreya Buddha also stood up from the rocking chair and introduced with a smile.
Leng Zhuo sighed, took down a book from the bookcase, flipped through a few pages, the handwriting in the book was clear, although the paper was not a high-quality bamboo paper, it was not bad, Leng Zhuo read a few books in succession, and took down a book of Warcraft, after opening it, he found that in addition to the text, there were pictures in this Warcraft Tongjian, and the pictures gave people an illusion of reality, as if the Warcraft inside was alive!
"Boss, the beast picture in this book was also printed by yourself?" Leng Zhuo turned his head and said to Maitreya Buddha.
