A day later, Yangmei Town.

It is a small town built in a mountain, and there is a three-mile merin next to it, hence the name.

Yangmei Town is also in Dayu County, but it is one of the poorer towns in the county. There are no special products, except for the bayberry produced here, and the bayberry wine made from bayberry.

Even because it is located in the mountains, the grain production is very small, and it cannot feed many people, and the whole town adds up to a thousand people.

Such a small town is naturally inconspicuous in the entire county and does not attract much attention.

Similarly, the Black Wolf Gang is here, so naturally there are no tentacles left.

"It's a quiet and peaceful town."

Lu Yuan came here, looked at the town located in the valley, and was very satisfied with the environment here.

It took him a day to inspect the new settlement he had chosen.

Because there are few people and people are poor, the Black Wolf Gang can't look down on this place. There are no gangsters on a large scale, at most there are some small gangsters.

is also because of poverty, so there is not even a servant here, so you don't have to worry about meeting those little officials who knock on the marrow.

The security of the town is only a militia formed spontaneously by local villagers, and the number is not large, only about a dozen people, and it is managed by the mayor here.

There are no gangs, no dirty officials, and all uncontrollable factors are far away, such a place is simply perfect.

"Who?"

The quiet town has always been self-sufficient, and few outsiders enter this place, so after seeing Lu Yuan watching at the gate of the town, several militiamen soon surrounded him.

It is their duty to patrol the thieves and guard the village.

"My lord, I am a hunter in the mountains, and I want to ask to see the mayor."

Looking at the vigilant militiamen, Lu Yuan showed a smile and said with a bit of flattery.

……

A moment later.

"You want to settle in the town?"

The mayor of Yangmei Town is surnamed Sun, and most of the people in the town have this surname, and his body is a little round, but his appearance is very rich. At this time, after hearing the request of the hunter in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared at Lu Yuan tightly and said, "You don't have a household registration, you are a black household, this is a bit embarrassing." ”

Although it was difficult to say what he said, looking at the other party's eyes, Lu Yuan didn't understand what it meant.

Fortunately, he was mentally prepared when he came, so he immediately took it out in his arms at this time, took out two taels of silver, and handed it over: "Please be accommodating, think of a way." ”

Mayor Sun glanced at the silver handed over, glanced at it, raised the teacup next to him, took a sip of tea, and did not speak.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan felt bitter in his heart, knowing that he had encountered a glutton.

If you don't feed each other, it's hard to become a naturalized and settled person!

He sighed, took out another tael of silver from his arms, and sent it up, saying, "My lord, just now the villain was negligent and took less money for tea." ”

After a long time.

Lu Yuan led the newly arrived roster and left the mayor's mansion quickly.

After walking a distance and seeing that there was no one around, he secretly scolded: "I, what kind of mayor, is a corrupt official and a skin-picker."

Just let him register in the household, and he even charged me five taels of silver, it's too dark. ”

For the local officials, the fact that the population under their rule could grow was their political achievement.

Lu Yuan took the initiative to come to the door and asked for a registration, which was in a hurry to send people political achievements.

That's it, that Mayor Sun even wants to pick him up, five taels of silver, it's really black!

"I have written down this loss, and if I have a chance in the future, I must get it back. My money is not so easy to take. ”

After scolding in his heart and drawing a small circle for Mayor Sun, Lu Yuan turned his head and walked towards a hostel in the town.

No matter how unhappy I feel in my heart, the household registration has been completed, but if I want to really implement the household registration, I have to buy a house in the town and settle down completely.

There is no way, the original words of Mayor Sun just now were: "You don't have a fixed residence, how can the imperial court tax you, what if you can't find someone?" If you don't buy a house, you might as well go back to the mountains and be a wild man, so that no one cares about you and you are at ease. ”

Having said that, in order to make his household registration real, Lu Yuan can only make a lot of blood and endure the exploitation in the future.

Although the life of the Orion is free, it is also very bitter and cold, and there are caves in the mountains, and the surrounding area is full of life-threatening beasts and poisonous insects, which are extremely dangerous.

When you go out of the mountain, you have to be exploited by those gangs and bullied by the officials, which is really no human rights, and you have been bullied.

In contrast, being an ordinary household honestly, although it is inevitable to be taxed by the imperial court every year, there is also a guarantee at all, and someone will take care of it if it dies.

One is not a human being, and the other is a human being.

What do you choose?

The answer, of course, is to be human. Even if it's the most inferior.

"Fortunately, I have Ma Jiqing's net worth, even if I remove the money I just entered the household, there are still more than thirty-eight taels of silver left."

In the hostel, a guest room was opened and food was ordered, and Lu Yuan thought while eating: "With so much money, even if I buy another suite, the rest will be enough for me to eat and pay taxes for two or three years." ”

This huge deposit is the confidence that he dares to register and enter the household.

Buying a house went well.

I just asked the owner in the hostel, and they heard that he was new and wanted to settle in the town, so they introduced him to a place to live.

It turned out that there happened to be a family in the town, and the other party's son worked as a shopkeeper in a restaurant in the county seat, which was considered to be famous, so he thought about taking his parents and two elders to the city to enjoy happiness.

But the people are gone, but the house is still there, no one lives, and it's a pity that it's vacant.

So the other party wanted to make a move.

The house has two bedrooms and a living room, a courtyard, a kitchen and one side, and about 400 square meters.

Because it was in a rural town, and the original owner planned to move to the county seat, he was in a hurry to sell, but the price was not expensive, so he took it for thirteen taels of silver.

Later, Lu Yuan took out another two taels of silver and bought some furniture and objects that the owner of the house was difficult to remove, so that he could save himself from buying them.

With fifteen taels of silver before and after, he finally owned the first real property in the world.

It's not big, it's still in the country.

But compared to the time when I first crossed the meeting, I lived in a cave, slept on the floor, and warmed myself by a fire. Now to have a sheltered house and a warm bed to sleep in is already heaven.

With an identity, there is a stable place to live.

For today's life, Lu Yuan is very satisfied.

"But even though I have my own house, it's not a way to sit on the mountain and eat empty, and I still can't leave behind the hunting skills, which is my only way to make a living now.

And the skins of the bacon that I kept in the mountains, which were also a lot of possessions.

I'll inquire again in two days to see if the Black Wolf Gang has left, and find a chance to go back and transport them all back.

It's a pity that the leopard that was killed the day before yesterday couldn't be dealt with, and I don't know if it was rotten in the end, or which beasts were cheaper. ”

Night.

After cleaning up the house for a day, sweating profusely, after taking a bath, lying comfortably on the bed covered with quilts, Lu Yuan fell asleep while thinking about things.

This night, sleeping in a safe town, sleeping in his own home, he was very relieved.
