Chapter 36: The Prefect Arrives
Ten taels of silver, this is not a small amount of money, in this era, a hundred dollars can survive for a month, buying a chicken is only three or four dollars, one or two silver can ensure that an ordinary person does not have to worry about food and clothing within a year, ten taels of silver is almost decades of living expenses, Master Zhang casually gave Feng Yuan ten taels of silver, it is too generous.
Although in Feng Yuan's opinion now, ten taels of silver is nothing, but these ten taels of silver is a real amount of money, he is a weak talent, what can he do to help Master Zhang, it is such a large amount of money, this help seems to be not simple.
Feng Yuan confiscated the money, just glanced at it casually, then looked at Master Zhang and said, "Master Zhang, what is the matter with such a generous shot?"
Master Zhang looked at Feng Yuan's reaction and was slightly surprised, because Feng Yuan was a poor and sour talent, how could these ten taels of silver be a huge amount of money for Feng Yuan, Feng Yuan was so calm, not like a poor person.
"Haha, Feng Xiucai, you don't have to be nervous, the favor I want to ask you for help is actually very simple, I want to ask you to help me write a novel, but I have to sign my name and sell it, as long as you agree, I will give you twenty taels of silver every month for writing fees, and the money from selling novels is also collected by you, I don't want a penny!"
Master Zhang looked at Feng Yuan and smiled.
Feng Yuan suddenly understood when he heard this, this Master Zhang wanted to find himself to be a gunman, but Master Zhang asked himself to write novels, not only to give himself money, but also to sell novels, as long as he signed it, what is the use of this? Could it be that he sees himself poor and intends to accurately alleviate poverty? Obviously, it is impossible, there is no businessman or traitor, businessmen are all interested in advance, and they cannot afford to be early if they are not profitable, and Master Zhang must have a plan to do this.
Thinking about it, Feng Yuan looked at Master Zhang and said, "Master Zhang, this is a loss-making business, why?"
"Hahaha...... It's a loss-making business for you, but not for me. People live in the world, nothing more than fame and fortune, I have earned enough money, and I lack a name. I want to gain fame and fame, but I really don't have that ability, so I can only find another way, hoping to write a novel that everyone knows and loves, and leaves a legend in this world, but I don't have this ability, so I hope Feng Xiucai can help and fulfill my Zhang's wish!"
Master Zhang looked at Feng Yuan and explained.
"Master Zhang is to be famous?" Feng Yuan looked at Master Zhang in surprise.
"Exactly!"
"But Master Zhang, there are many ways to become famous, why do you want to find this way, if you take twenty taels to go out to do good, I'm afraid you will become famous faster!"
"I naturally know, but I don't want the name of a good person, I want a talented name, so I asked Feng Xiucai for your help!"
Master Zhang looked at Lu Yan and said.
Feng Yuancai doesn't believe in Master Zhang's nonsense, this novel he wrote has a fart talent, it's just vulgar fast food literature, and if you are a reader, you can see that Master Zhang obviously has other plans.
"Master Zhang, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with this matter!" Feng Yuan looked at Master Zhang and refused.
"Why? Feng Xiucai thinks the money is too little?" Master Zhang looked at Feng Yuan puzzled.
"Definitely, it's just that my ability is limited, and the book I write now has made me miserable, let me write one, ask myself if I don't have that ability, and it will not be good to write it when the time comes, which is equivalent to eating Master Zhang's money in vain, which is absolutely impossible!"
Feng Yuan looked at Master Zhang and said, stood up after speaking, and made a salute, "Master Zhang, take your leave." ”
Immediately Feng Yuan turned around and left directly, Master Zhang was immediately anxious when he saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Feng Yuan and said, "Feng Xiucai is slow, how about I add ten taels of silver?"
"I'm sorry, Master Zhang, it's not a matter of silver, it's really powerless, please understand!" Feng Yuan looked at Master Zhang and smiled bitterly, and after speaking, he bypassed Master Zhang and walked outside.
It is impossible for Feng Yuan to agree to this kind of thing as a gunman, and when he read novels in his previous life, what he hated the most was that those great gods wrote that they were looking for gunmen, and what was written in the back was incomprehensible, and they were extremely irresponsible to readers, and wasting readers' money and time was simply a crime, so Feng Yuan hated the profession of gunman very much.
Secondly, for Feng Yuan, money is no longer important, the existing money is enough to live a worry-free life, I don't want to work so hard, I should live well, the world is so big, I want to go out and see, how can I live in a corner for a lifetime, come to this strange world, Feng Yuan also plans to travel around this country.
"Master, this sour Xiucai is too ignorant of lifting, if I send someone to arrest him back and give him a good beating, he will definitely be honest!" Qiao Si looked at Master Zhang and said, his eyes showing a fierce light.
"Absolutely not, everyone who reads is arrogant, it's useless to be hard!" Master Zhang looked at Qiao Si and shook his head.
"Then what should I do, give him more money?" Qiao Si asked.
"I'm afraid it's not good, you see that he just did, he didn't react much to money, his clothes are all silk and satin, it seems that he is not short of money, he has to find another way!"
Qiao Si listened to Master Zhang's words, frowned slightly, and then said: "By the way, master, there is something I want to tell you, when I went to pick up this Feng Xiucai, the place where he lived was the old mansion of the little prince, that place was evil, how many people lived in it There were problems, but he was fine, did you say that he would be the same person as us, so it was okay, if this was the case, then it was normal that he didn't promise us, because he naturally knew the mystery in this book!"
"He really lives in the little prince's house?"
"Yes, it's true!"
Master Zhang's brows tightened when he heard this, and he shook his head and said, "Impossible, if he is a fellow practitioner, he can't hide it in front of me, I can see through it at a glance!"
"Then why is he living in that mansion and will be fine?" Qiao Si looked at Master Zhang and said suspiciously.
Master Zhang listened to Qiao Si's words, thought for a while, and said, "Actually, I felt an unusual aura from him just now, very faint, almost negligible, but if this aura is true, it is reasonable that he can live in the old mansion of the little prince!"
"What breath?"
"The breath of my clan!"
"The breath of my clan? Sir, do you mean that someone has taken the lead?"
"Not necessarily, because the novel written by Feng Xiucai now is signed by him, and if someone is the first to get to it, it must not be his name!"
"That's not right, if it's really my people, it is absolutely impossible to give up such a good opportunity. Qiao Si asked incomprehensibly.
"Yes, so I need to investigate to find out, and I'm going to go over and see for myself tomorrow!"
......
But he said that Feng Yuan left Zhang's mansion here, so he hired a donkey cart on the side of the street and went back to his home, and when he got home, it was almost noon.
When he arrived at the door of the house, Feng Yuan found that something was wrong, because there was a pair of officers and soldiers standing at the door of the house, it was a member of the Yamen, Hu Xiao was looking around anxiously at the door, and when he saw Feng Yuan coming back, he immediately rushed over in a hurry.
"Childe, you're back, the prefect is coming to look for you!" Hu Xiao looked at Feng Yuandao.
"The prefect came to me? what's the matter?" Feng Yuan looked confused when he heard this, he and the prefect had met once when they were taking the exam, they didn't have any friendship, what were they doing looking for themselves?
Could it be that the bodies of Feng Fugui and the others were found and ready to arrest themselves?
