As soon as Li Ruping came in, she shouted: "The new house is coming! Look what good things you have done!"

As a result, when I looked up, I saw that the two of them were dressed and were about to go out for breakfast, and they didn't pay much attention to her. She herself found it boring, so she ran first.

Liu Jizu said in his heart that this girl is becoming more and more presumptuous, his mother can't control her at all, and she has to be sent to a safe place quickly, who knows what else she will do if this continues.

Liu Jizu took the seventh sister downstairs to have breakfast, the breakfast in the inn was very rich, there were all kinds of noodles in Shanxi Road, knife cut noodles, dumplings, slices, ramen, noodles, sorghum noodles, fish and fish, cornmeal nests, roasted wheat, as well as regular baked cakes, steamed buns and steamed buns.

Liu Jizu had a large amount of rice, so he ate three steamed buns, a bowl of knife-cut noodles and two baked cakes with pickles.

The seventh sister had never seen such a meal, and she was dumbfounded.

Liu Jizu was also a little embarrassed.

Wu Lun didn't care, "You don't know, our family has practiced martial arts since childhood, and we rely more on our own physical strength, and the more we eat, the better." Besides, the ancestor is still growing his body, so he can't delay it, and he must eat more. ”

The rest of the crowd thought it was a good thing to say, but it was too much to eat. After everyone finished eating, Wu Lun bought a lot of steamed bread and pickles and braised pork to eat on the road, trying to buy as much food as possible in those small shops on the road, and on the way, Wu Lun also went to the restaurant where he ate last night to buy two jars of wine.

Liu Jizu counted the money spent in the past few days, and it was actually more than ten taels of silver, which was because they didn't live in the hotel a few days ago and didn't spend much money. If it was all spent like this in the future, I don't know if the silver was enough? I couldn't help but be a little worried, Wu Lun really didn't care about it at all.

When he set off, Liu Jizu saw Li Ruping and his mother get into Wu Lun's car, and hurriedly pulled the seventh sister into Lao Liaotou's car. In the morning there were not many people, and the mule cart was very fast, and in a short time they reached a pass in the south of the city. But before they could get out, a troop of cavalry suddenly rushed from the south gate. Wu Lun saw it from a distance, and saw that the cavalry seemed to be wounded, their armor was crooked, they were embarrassed, and their horses were spewing white gas. He hurriedly called Lao Liao to drive the mule cart aside and wait for the cavalry to pass.

Liu Jizu got out of the car and came to Wu Lun's side, and asked in a low voice: "What is the situation, is there a war ahead?"

Wu Lun also got out of the car, pulled him to the side of the car, and said incognito: "I don't know, but look at the costumes, these cavalry are the forbidden army in the capital." If there is a fight there, it will really be troublesome! Could it be that Mr. Tian's prophecy has come true, and the capital is in chaos? Let's get out of the city as soon as possible, because if something happens to seal the city, we won't be able to leave. ”

After Wu Lun finished speaking, he waited for the cavalry to pass, said hello to Lao Liaotou, and quickly drove the mule cart through the city gate together. The defenders of the city gate were also at a loss, and Wu Lun saw several officers gathered together and whispered something. After leaving the city, the two cars drove south along the official road towards the next county seat. Before dark, they came to a town with a post station. According to the old rules, Wu Lun chose an inn closest to the post station.

As soon as they moved in, another group of cavalry rushed in the direction of Jinyang City, and the next night they actually ran over two more groups.

At breakfast the next day, many people in the hotel got up early and got together to whisper, and Wu Lun and them were the same. Wu Lun leaned over to the shopkeeper and asked, "There are several groups of people who ran over this night, do you know what's going on?"

The shopkeeper looked left and right, saw that there was no one, and leaned into Wu Lun's ear and whispered: "Don't tell outsiders, I heard from Yi Cheng about it, I heard that there was an accident in the capital, and these soldiers sent a letter to the King of Jin in Jinyang City." ”

Wu Lun sighed, thanked him, ordered breakfast, and returned to the table. Everyone whispered to ask what was going on, and Wu Lun also repeated what the shopkeeper said in a low voice, and everyone was surprised when they heard it.

Liu Jizu sat next to Wu Lun and asked in a low voice, "What do you think can happen in the capital?"

Wu Lun sneered twice, "If something happens in the capital, it's either a mutiny at the level of destroying the country, or the emperor is dead and there is infighting without arranging an heir." This time it should be the latter, the emperor is gone, and the forces of the princes are vying for the throne in the capital. If there was a mutiny, there should not be only such a few groups of people, and these soldiers would also abide by the law and discipline, and there would be no chaos, not like a mutiny. ”

"Then does it have any impact if we go to Gyeonggi Province?"

"It's hard to say, the battle for the heir generally has little to do with the people, as long as the scope of the competition does not leave the capital, it will be fine. But if there is no result in the capital, it will be troublesome to spread to the localities, and the country may be divided. At that time, if you beat me and I beat you, the peaceful days of the common people will come to an end. I don't know how big the incident is this time, and no one can say exactly how big the situation is. But no matter what, we have to go to Gyeonggi-do, because Shimen is there, and even if it is really chaotic, Shimen is the safest place. ”

After speaking, he asked everyone to eat as soon as possible, and after eating, they packed up and continued on the road. On this road, the number of cities has increased significantly, almost one in a day's journey, they all buy good food in the county seat, and then go to live in a post station or a relatively large town. After more than 10 days of trekking, after more than 10 county seats, I finally came to Gyeonggi-do on this day.

Gyeonggi Province is directly under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Court and has a much larger area, unlike other provinces. Gyeonggi-do is one of the richest places in the country, as it is one of the richest places in the country, because it is the location of the city, and many wealthy merchants, tycoons, and local dignitaries have housing properties in the city or Gyeonggi Province.

As they traveled all the way, they clearly felt that the situation in the next few days was becoming more and more tense. In the first ten days, the cities they passed through did not have an inventory at all, but in the next few days, every county town had to be checked, and the larger the city, the stricter the inventory.

Fortunately, there are some vacancies left on the previous vacancy, and they can still fill in people. Liu Jizu also added the name of the seventh sister, and the government could not find a problem, and they also arrived in Gyeonggi Province smoothly.

Wu Lun originally planned to go to the capital to find the stronghold of the sect, and then entrust them to settle the Li family's mother and daughter. But I heard from the past business travelers that the capital had been under martial law for many days and could not enter at all, so Wu Lun had no choice but to adjust the direction and decided to go to Zhongnan Mountain first, and then make plans when he arrived at Shimen.

So they did not go in the direction of Yong'an City, but made a detour to the southeast of Yong'an City, found the official road to the south, and went straight to Zhongnan Mountain. After walking for a day, seeing that it was getting late, Wu Lun took everyone to stay in a town.

The town is not on an official road, and there is no post station. But when he got here, Wu Lun seemed to be relieved, and his mood improved. When they stayed, Liu Jizu asked him why he was so happy.

Wu Luncai explained: "I was frightened all the way, and when I got here, it would come to an end, and this was already the sphere of influence of our sect." ”

Liu Jizu was also happy when he heard this, and went back to the room early that night to exercise. He is now accustomed to the company of the seventh sister, and his gentle service to her, especially the massage after the workout has become addictive, and he looks forward to returning to the room early every day, and the relationship between the two is getting better and better.

Li Ruping always looked for opportunities to sneer, but Liu Jizu discussed it with the seventh sister, and she didn't care about her at all, and she had no choice.

After settling them, Wu Lun went to contact the sect's office here and reported his waist card and the purpose of the trip. He reported three purposes: the first was to return to the sect as an elder, the second was to teach a disciple himself, and wanted to pass the sect's test to become a formal disciple, and the third was to bring a business to the sect, that is, to settle the Li family mother and daughter.

Seeing that Wu Lun was very old and qualified to be an elder, the disciples of the sect's office did not dare to slack off, so they reported it overnight.

Early the next morning, an elderly deacon came to look for Wu Lun, and Wu Lun called Liu Jizu to meet the man in the lobby of the inn.

The man was white and fat, with thin eyebrows and fine eyes, and a starling stood on his shoulder, and he spoke very politely. He first politely said after a while: "Senior Brother Wu, we have already reported your request, and we will have a result soon." The first two are fine, but the third one doesn't know how much they plan to spend. You know, it's a lot of money to settle people here!"

The starling on his shoulder then repeated the exclamation, "How much!

Wu Lun arched his hand and said: "Senior brother, you are too polite, I understand the rules, but I don't know how to charge." We also met this fleeing mother and daughter by chance on the road, thinking that we were the safest here, so we brought them to us, and it was the first time to help people do this, and I didn't know much about the market. ”

The man didn't smile, "Well, that's right! I'll do the math with you." First of all, the houses in this vicinity cost about 500 taels for one entry, 1,000 taels for two enters, 1,500 taels for three enters, and 300 taels for those with furniture. Fields, our fields here are fertile, although they are mountainous, they have water sources for irrigation, so they cost twenty taels of silver per acre. In addition, because it was introduced by our own people, the intermediary fee will not be charged. ”

Liu Jizu was shocked when he heard it, this is already a mountainous area, why is the house price and land price so expensive. He wanted to speak, but Wu Lun stopped him with a look, "You wait a minute, let's go and discuss it with the family." After speaking, he took Liu Jizu to Li Cuilian's room, and Wu Lun told Li Cuilian about the price of housing and land.

Li Cuilian had no concept at all, "It's better for my brother to give us ideas!"

Wu Lun thought about it for a while, "This kind of price is indeed a bit expensive, but this place belongs to the sphere of influence of our master, and all the transactions are monopolized by the sect, and others can't get in, so the price is naturally expensive." In addition, the taxes here are also collected by the sect, and the sect collects them and then hands them over to the government, and the taxes are the same, so there is no need to deal with the government. What's more, the sect is responsible for maintaining law and order here, and the extra money spent is actually mainly protection money. ”

"Then brother, do you want us to buy it or not?"

"I originally wanted to place you near the capital, but the housing prices and land prices there are similar to here, and they are not cheap, and they can't get the protection of the sect, so it's better for you to settle here, closer to us." ”

Li looked at his daughter and Lao Liao, and nodded, "Okay, then it's up to my brother to decide, but I don't know how big a house and how much land to buy?"

"There are only four of you now, and the house you enter is enough to live in, and the house you enter is more comfortable. Fields, you have few people, and a hundred acres can maintain the basic livelihood of a few of you, but if you want to live well, you must have as much as possible, and you have to hire people to plant. But the most important thing is how much money you have. ”

Li Cuilian discussed with Lao Liao Tou and said: "The house needs two entrances, let's have one set of furniture first, we will use it evenly when the time comes, and we will buy it if it is not enough, so that we can save some money." Let's buy a hundred acres of land first, a total of three thousand three hundred taels of silver, and we have to leave some money to live, almost. What do you see, brother?"

"Yes, I'll go talk to him, and then go to the house and see the land. After speaking, he went out with Liu Jizu.

The fat man was feeding his starling, Wu Lun said the number of fields and houses to buy, the man immediately smiled, and took the two of them to see the house and land.

They were gone all day, and they didn't come back until it was getting dark.

Liu Jizu was secretly frightened, the power of the sect is really great! This has caught up with the territory of a county, and all the houses, fields, and shops in this area are managed by the sect, and the transaction can only be carried out through the sect. The government only regularly comes to the office of the sect to collect taxes, and does not care about anything else. And I heard this fat man say that almost all the shops are also operated by the sect, which makes another profit.

Liu Jizu couldn't help but sigh, the sect is really good at running it! The reason why they have spent so long is also to choose the most ideal place. Fortunately, although the price is expensive, this place is really good, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is much better than their house, the fields are also good, and there is indeed a water source. They chose a farm house that was relatively close to the sect, with good houses and fields, and was still connected together.

Li Cuilian and the others waited at the inn for a day, and were bored, and when they saw the two of them coming back, they all gathered around and asked questions.

Wu Lun said: "I have chosen, it is very similar to Mr. Tian's house before, the field house is connected, it is a little smaller, I paid the money today, I went through the formalities, tomorrow morning they will transport the furniture in, and tomorrow afternoon they can live in." ”

Li Cuilian was also very happy to hear this, and hurriedly thanked her.

Wu Lun didn't like to be polite, so he directly asked her to go through the handover procedures with the fat man, and then went on the tax bill under the current pseudonym, and settled here.

Seeing the heavy bag of gold in the hands of the fat man, Liu Jizu suddenly felt a little inferior, no wonder Li Ruping was so arrogant, she was supported by money. Now that he has a deeper understanding of the importance of money, it seems that he has to work hard to earn money, otherwise how can he let his family and his seventh sister live a good life?
