San'er was born in the market, although he has never read a book, but he has a smooth temperament, is easy to inquire, and knows a lot about Haidai County.

This insight has reference value for Chen Youniao. After all, he and Uncle Wang have been away for too long, and ten years is enough to change many things.

Therefore, the work of the morning was all about San'er, and Chen Youniao listened to it with relish.

After all, San'er's level is too low, many things belong to hearsay, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, Chen Youniao doesn't care, it is expedient to listen to stories. There is a saying: there is nothing to come from. There is always some basis for the story.

At the very least, I have a preliminary understanding of the current power structure of Haidai County.

The county keeper of Haidai County is surnamed Cao, and he is from a local clan. The Cao family and the Chen family are both big families in Haidai County, and their relationship with each other is intricate and very delicate.

However, in Haidai County, the most powerful is not the county guard, but the overseer, who leads the Yamen of the Haidai County Overseer, who is responsible for all the local military armor, directly responsible to the imperial court, and is not subject to the county guard, but will be subject to a certain amount of supervision.

The separation of powers was one of the most important decrees of the Dayin Dynasty. As long as you have the power of the army, you have mastered everything.

The overseer of Haidai County, whose surname was "Zhou" and his name was "Zhongda", was a fierce general, and it was said that he had the courage of ten thousand people.

Compared with the Taoist system, martial arts also have unique features, and they are practiced very well, they can fly the eaves and walk the wall, and they can break the stone and behead.

The generals are domineering, with tens of thousands of soldiers, and when the military order is like a mountain, the blood is soaring, and they are invincible.

This is the foundation of the country, that is, the Taoist court, and they are quite in awe of it. The title of "Heavenly Master" of the first person in the Taoist Court needs to be canonized and pardoned by the emperor before it can be justified.

Chen Youniao wants to study, take the imperial examination, and win fame and official status, precisely considering the role of secular authority.

This is not the kind of high-maintenance immortal world where ghosts and gods are high up and mortals are like ants. There is a dynastic system, there are laws and decrees, and on the whole, it can be called orderly.

Of course, the world is huge, and in many mountains and rivers and water veins, it is another scene, there are big demons entrenched, and there are evil spirits, but they are inaccessible and unknown. It is another thing for the dynasty to open up territory and fight for it.

Chen Youniao didn't think too much about it, he had already made a decision, the Tao had to be cultivated, the book had to be read, and it was a two-pronged approach. At present, the affairs of the Dao Fa can be done step by step, and before the transformation of qi is successful, do not do it to others, but reading has become a difficult matter.

The examination of the imperial examination is by no means simple, it is not just to memorize a few scriptures, but also to read a lot of various commentaries and explanations of the scriptures, as well as many excellent articles of previous imperial examinations.

All of this requires a book.

Originally, I wanted to take the path of ethnography, but I was rejected. Chen Youniao has a problem, he doesn't like to be rejected twice, so he is reluctant to ask for help again.

Don't ask for others, you can only ask for yourself.

He now has one more support, which is to draw talismans, draw town house peace talismans.

Such a genuine talisman is worth a lot of money.

However, the loss of the drawing talisman is also very strong, last night to draw so two, Chen Youniao's body was hollowed out, and he needs to slowly recover his vitality and mana, it seems that if he wants to draw the third way, he has to raise it for at least half a month. Fortunately, only one of the two talismans was used, and one was left on the body in case of emergency.

After listening to San'er's speech, Chen Youniao gave him a new name, called "Wangcai", which was completely out of bad taste. However, in Uncle Wang's opinion, the name "Wangcai" is full of meaning, catchy, and a pretty good name. As for San'er himself, he did not resist his new name, but was grateful to Zaide and thanked the young master for the name.

The following days passed plainly, Chen Youniao's daily homework, one was to study "Wenxin Carving Dragon" to accumulate literary energy, and the other was to practice "Laoshan Tongzhen Sutra" to speed up the degree of refining and increase mana. Originally, I wanted to verify the "Wall Piercing Technique" through the brick wall, but due to the loss of mana in drawing talismans, it was not easy to carry out and has been delayed.

More than half a month has passed, and the house has been completely transformed and completely renovated under the tidying up of Wang Bo and Wangcai. The windows are bright and clean, and the floors are neat. Two ridges of land were also reclaimed in the yard and planted with fruits, melons and vegetables. Uncle Wang bought another nest of chickens and came back to raise them, saying that he wanted to raise raw eggs. I still want to buy a dog, but after thinking about it, I feel that the dog has a big appetite and can't afford to raise it, so I give up.

Yes, it has now reached the point where you can't afford to have a dog.

The main reason is that Chen Youniao is too edible, far beyond ordinary people, and he has to have meat for a while.

Uncle Wang shortened the estimated time for all his savings to support expenses from one year to half a year, and then from half a year to three months, and now, it is estimated that he will be exhausted in one month.

Therefore, even in his mind, the young master was already an unfathomable figure, but the old servant couldn't help but mutter: "Young master, our money is almost gone......"

The implication is to let Chen Youniao stop staying at home and be an otaku, it's time to go out and find money. Don't forget, there is still a huge debt of five thousand taels outside, and the deadline is less than ten days left.

For most of the month, for Chen Youniao, it is a recuperation and a retreat. He had obtained a lot of Wen Qi, but he used it for cultivation, and the number of remaining Wen Qi remained at about thirty. In the process of acquiring the literary tone, the level of the poem text is correspondingly improved, and the characters are much more beautifully written. At the same time, the degree of refining has progressed rapidly, and it has reached a critical breakthrough point.

This step is very important, and Chen Youniao doesn't mind staying like this until he succeeds, even if he spends the last bit of silver.

But on this day, an uninvited guest arrived, interrupting Chen Youniao's "Gou Zhai" plan.

Song Tianfu, a rich son.

This big creditor verbally said that he was passing by, but it is doubtful, it is likely that he came on purpose to see if Chen Youniao ran away, after all, there are only a few days left before the deadline of January.

There is only one possibility for creditors to come to the door, and that is to ask for money.

Seeing this, Uncle Wang was worried, and secretly sweated, although it was said that it was not yet the deadline, but this matter only had an IOU, and there was no other supplementary contract with a grace period, just a verbal agreement. If Song Tianfu turns his face and doesn't recognize people, Chen Youniao has nothing to do, he will make trouble, and he may be arrested in the yamen, then everything will be over.

At this time, how can the young master deal with it?

But seeing Song Tianfu looking left and right: "You, you live here, are you okay?"

Quite surprised.

Chen Youniao smiled indifferently: "What can happen?" rich boy, I am a person who came down from Laoshan Mountain. ”

Song Tianfu secretly slandered himself: You were driven down the mountain......

But such words should not be said directly.

The house has been cleaned up and renovated inside and out, and it can be seen that Chen Youniao's master and servant live quite comfortably here and are safe.

This is a murderous house!

The best explanation is that Chen Youniao really has a way to be calm.

In fact, it is not surprising that Chen Youniao has studied Taoism in Laoshan for ten years after all, and he may not be able to meet the standards of the immortal family, but he always has some foundation. Or, he has Taoist treasures on him that can suppress evil spirits. The so-called building near the water is the first month, living in the dojo for ten years, knowing the real Taoist priest, pleasing people, and spending a lot of money to buy real goods.

To sum up, it is also an important reason why Song Tianfu was willing to give another month of grace time last time he came, he wanted to find out the details of Chen Youniao, not to offend rashly.

The fat boy smiled and said, "Brother Bird, listen to your tone, you brought the baby down from the mountain?"

Chen Youniao was stunned for a moment, then reacted, so he deliberately lowered his voice: "Yes, I have a talisman with me." ”

Sure enough, the rich boy was suddenly excited, the talisman in the Laoshan Dojo was a good thing, it was priceless and difficult to buy, so he hurriedly asked, "What talisman?"

Chen Youyou took out a talisman with great dignity.

"It's ......"
