Salted fish thought for a while, "Is it cheaper to buy a house in Chang'an now?" ”

Since the Red Mei Army invaded Chang'an, causing Chang'an to be destroyed, the Eastern Han Dynasty court has not repaired this old capital for hundreds of years, so the city is cold, it can be called a vast land and sparsely populated, and the house price is naturally very cheap, and a house is only a few thousand dollars.

She herself brought seven or eight thousand money out of Luoyang, and fought a bully again on the way, although the food was distributed to everyone, and the money was left to Tongxin, but she still had that carriage, a horse was worth ten thousand dollars, plus a carriage of several thousand dollars, and she still had more than 20,000 yuan in her hands.

But the situation is not as ideal as she thought, since the imperial court moved west to Chang'an, there are such ministers not only do not worry about their own residences, but also buy more houses, and strive to take advantage of this catastrophe to make a fortune again, so as she bought the small yard, it will cost tens of thousands of dollars to afford it.

As a result, the shelter of the common people became a big problem.

But for the imperial court, it is actually not a big problem - if you have no place to live, no food and clothing, as long as you sell yourself to the rich family as a slave, you can always get a place to stand and a bowl of rice to eat.

Although the entire Dahan River is in danger and is in danger, the slave trade in Chang'an City is thriving and business is booming.

…… Sounds really comforting.

"It doesn't matter," she thought for a moment, "that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." ”

"I can hear you, what bad idea are you thinking.] 】

How can this be called a bad idea? She said coldly in her heart, "This is called robbing the rich and helping the poor. 】

Blackblade seemed to be thinking of something to warn her, but her attention was already on the river next to the camp.

These days, the fish in the river eat themselves very fat.

As long as you go into the water and catch two, disembowel, and clean up the contents of the fish's belly, you can make a pot of delicious fish soup.

Who cares what this fish has eaten before?

Just do it.

Water is cold and gentle, and there is resistance.

A slashing weapon like the heavy sword was not suitable for underwater combat, and as she slowly descended, she pulled out the dagger in her sheath and quietly opened her eyes to see everything beneath the surface.

She was so good at the water that she stood in the water like a dead thing, and the scattered fish did not take a moment before they swam back again, cautiously watching near her.

A plump grass carp is probably used to seeing this kind of food, and after wandering around a few times, it flicks its tail and swims over.

By the time the thin, sharp dagger reflected a faint light in the fish's eyes, it had no time to escape, and was pierced through the gills in an instant.

The smell of grass carp's blood stained the sight of the fish, but she didn't care, and threaded it with a rope and hung it around her waist, ready to continue the search for the next prey, when a sudden change happened.

Something suddenly fell into the water, with a heavy thud and a sense of oppression coming over her!

Her first reaction was to kick the stone on the sole of her foot, swim out a foot away, and then turn around, ready to meet the enemy, but she never expected-

The enthusiastic, young General Zhang, who sent her food, money and sisters, stared at her with wide eyes in surprise, and a string of bubbles erupted from his mouth.

…… It's so embarrassing.

General Zhang himself can swim on the water, and the water is okay, but he was taken aback just now, choked on some water, and was a little embarrassed.

She stared silently at him by the river, twisting his hair in a bun and twisting his clothes, and after twisting it, she seemed to feel that it was inconvenient to wear it on her body, and took it off again.

As he busily took off his burqa, as if he wanted to continue taking off his underwear, Salted Fish felt that he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Why did the general go down to the river?"

"This," he paused, "I went to the camp to look for you, but I heard that you came to the river, but I never saw you, and then I saw you in the water, and I thought you had accidentally fallen into the water......"

【…… Did he see that every person who fell into the water was so righteous and courageous? She's a little unsure.

[Not every person who falls into the water is worthy of him digging the foot of the wall. 】

【…… It makes sense. 】

She thought about it and made a move.

"General Gaoyi, the villain has a heart."

Zhang Liao didn't say anything, let's change the topic.

"What is the general's order to find the villain?"

When the young general heard this, he seemed a little unhappy.

"Although I am in the market, I am a real hero, I want to have a relationship with Jinlan under my feet, why treat me so unfamiliarly?"

[It's true that not every person who falls into the water can be his brother, it's right to dig the foot of the wall. 】

Although she muttered like this in her heart, she thought about it and changed her words to a little bit higher emotional intelligence.

"In that case, what is the matter with the general?"

Zhang Liao just wanted to speak, but suddenly his eyes widened.

…… He took off his underwear after all.

A small fish fell to the ground and jumped around wildly.

She turned her eyes away, pretending not to see the muscles.

"Laughing."

Zhang Liao came to look for her, mainly for the incident that Zhang Mian said before.

In fact, there are not many houses in Chang'an City, more are dilapidated ruins, some of which were encircled by the ministers, and some were divided by the generals of Xiliang or Bingzhou.

After all, according to Dong Xiangguo's routine, Chang'an will be the base in the future, and these generals who are not in the state will move their families to Chang'an, so they will naturally buy mansions in the city, and the small officers below will also follow suit, so a piece of land in the east of the city is where these people in the state build houses.

"In my opinion, Chang'an City is mixed, and it may be difficult for the city captain to take care of them one by one, if the virtuous brother and his relatives all move to the east of the city and share them with the military dependents, wouldn't it be cheap?"

As if sensing her hesitation, Zhang Liao immediately added, "There are already soldiers in the battalion who have arrived in Chang'an first to start construction and start construction, why don't you discuss it with your neighbors?" How about buying some bricks and tiles and giving the soldiers some wages, and still being able to buy land and property after saving this money? ”

…… What's going on, how is this man talking more and more eloquently.

She didn't notice that the young general had quietly changed his title to "Virtuous Brother", which was too tempting for her.

…… After all, I still can't control my greed, sad.

But she still held on to the last bottom line, "Even so, I'm still timid and unwilling to obey." ”

Zhang Liao didn't seem to care about her refusal at all, the corners of his mouth curled, and the little white teeth flashed in the twilight, "That's natural, the foolish brother will never force it." ”

She always remembered that when she came to Chang'an City with her neighbors on Dongsan Road with her support for a very frail old man, it was on an afternoon near May.

The bones on the side of the road were stacked one after another, and almost none of them were well dressed, but the people who came to Chang'an City were still in rags, and many of them were almost unclothed.

When they supported each other, leaned on, and looked up at this strange Han capital, the sound of advocacy of Jin Yue came from afar.

There are samurai in front, cavalry next to them, and slaves and maids, and the momentum is extraordinary.

In the middle of the carriage sat a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, petite, wearing a silk brocade shining in the sun.

Her long black and soft hair was interspersed with a jade hairpin, which made her skin as white as jade, not like a mortal.

Seeing such a guard of honor approaching from afar, everyone immediately fell into the dust.

When the sound of the wheels was very close, the salted fish quietly looked up and looked up.

Just in time for the girl's gaze.

She didn't seem to have any contempt or contempt for these homeless people.

…… There is also no concern and sympathy.

The deer-like eyes were wide open, and with a little curiosity, they looked at her softly and casually.

It was Dong Bai, the Weiyang Jun who had not yet reached the age of Xuan, although Dong Bai had no impression of this, but Lu Hangyu could never forget the scene when he first saw this county monarch.

Because they seem to be people from two worlds.

Chapter 32

The sun is scorching.

But no one is going to take a break.

The newly built house has a brand new brick smell inside and out.

The window curtains had not yet been attached, so from time to time some small winged animals flew in to enjoy the shade.

The entire Guanzhong, especially the forests near Chang'an, were almost cut down.

A couch, a several, and a cabinet all need wood to make materials, but where can there be so much wood when hundreds of thousands of people have moved in?

The next class can only find a straw mat and spread it on the dry soil, but the straw mat does not fall from the sky in vain. The reeds are so threaded that they are almost bald on the banks of the Weishui River, and it is even said that there are many people who fall into the water every day, and they cannot stop the last bit of effort of the civilians to support their families.

But it also takes effort to turn Pu Wei into a straw mat, and with no experience, I really can't make a fast and good straw mat.

Although the family was poor, there were a few acres of land, and he was barely a small landlord, so he was still very reserved on weekdays and never participated in such business affairs. Now the last bit of savings in the family has been exchanged for this house, and in order to make ends meet, they have also begun to weave straw mats and straw sandals, which are sold outside every day.

Every day, San Lang would also go to the suburbs of the city to cut some grass and come back to help his mother do some housework, so although her husband died, the Chen family could barely support this family business.

The sheep family wants to set up a butcher shop to buy and sell but it is not so easy, Guanzhong Yuan himself is sparsely smoky, and there are many cattle and sheep in the vicinity, such as the Qiang people, after the imperial court moved west, it is a big burden to eat, how can there be so much meat for the civilians to consume, and where are there so many civilians who can afford to eat meat?

Fortunately, this piece of house is a gathering area for people in Bingzhou, although Dong Xiangguo doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people, and the money and food of Bingzhou's soldiers and horses must not be forgotten, so these middle- and lower-level officers in Bingzhou still have a lot of money, which makes her confident and buys some piglets to raise in the pigsty.

These days, men are looking for work everywhere to do, women are at home desperately spinning and weaving, Mei Niang has no wine to brew for the time being, fortunately in a joint venture with Tongxin to buy a loom, two people day and night shift weaving, lamp oil is naturally reluctant to buy, but a few steps away from the road there is a small guest house, always lit at night, borrowed this light, can do work.

As for eating and drinking, the question is very simple. The thrifty women always remember to save some salt beans on the road, as long as there is wheat rice to eat, there is this meal, if there are not a few salt beans left, then there is no need to worry too much.

…… As the capital of the Western Han Dynasty for 200 years, Chang'an, which has experienced prosperous years, the well water is naturally also an authentic salty and marinated taste.

Are such days bitter? It depends on who you compare with.

If it is compared with the Dong family whose chicken dog ascended to heaven, it is naturally unbearable to fall into the quagmire, but what if it is compared with many people outside the city who came later and therefore have no place to stand?

Outside the city, shacks were erected one after another, and those homeless people who had no roof on the top and no cone on the bottom stood outside the city day after day, they were all good people who were law-abiding and diligent, but now they were almost like skeletons, except that they still had a layer of crumpled skin on their bodies, and they were still panting.

Such people cannot be sold as slaves, and if they had wives and daughters to sell along the way, they would have been sold out long ago, and they could only wait there.

Waiting for life, waiting for death, waiting for someone to pick them up, or death to set them free.

It's a pity that Dong Xiangguo is not the kind of compassionate person who "I can't see others suffering in front of my eyes, so drive them away quickly", so every morning, the city lieutenant sent a few coolies out to go around the city to pull the dead bodies away and bury them to avoid the spread of the plague.

Living in such a capital city is really unmotivating.

Today's salted fish is also mixed and waiting to die.

The house was bought with the savings it brought, but the carriage was also sold for three thousand dollars and remained in his hands.
