Chapter 467

A poor son 21

The owner looked at the direction of the city wall, looked at the lingering fear, and whispered: "I am not from the capital, so I won't coax you. Have you looked at this place?"

The Fourth Master nodded, "Just pay attention to the price."

The owner gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to be able to pay cash, six hundred... no, five hundred taels will be my best."

It is not easy to live in the capital city. A complete two-entry yard of 500 taels is really not expensive.

It seems that the people on the city tower have given this family a lot of thoughts. They would rather lose money than move out of here quickly.

"I don't hide it from you. I have never lived in this house. The furniture and other things are new. My wife and daughter came in and fell ill the day after entering the door." As she said, the man looked sad, "I spent all my savings on this house. I couldn't even make up the money I wanted to buy a small yard elsewhere."

The implication is that after this, I want to buy an inconspicuous small yard elsewhere.

The Fourth Master didn't say anything, "I've asked for all the furniture inside. Six hundred taels, that's it."

The homeowner was overjoyed at the moment. The furniture was made according to the size of the house. When will it be available for the order? It is not certain. Besides, it is not as high as this price. He immediately said, "Let's transfer to the yamen now?"

More anxious than the Fourth Master.

Lin Yutong pretended to take it out of her backpack, but in fact she took out a fifty tael of gold ingot from the space.

There is no way, I can only pay the bill with gold. Because only gold does not take up any space. Otherwise, I would not be able to explain that I had so many things in a backpack.

"Enough?" Lin Yutong asked the homeowner.

The owner nodded quickly. The quality was so good that there was no problem in exchange for 600 taels of silver.

The group locked the door and followed the homeowner to the ticket number. He replaced the gold ingot with silver ingot.

Lin Yutong also took a gold ingot and exchanged it for 500 taels of silver notes and 100 taels of broken silver of varying sizes. This is all due to household expenses.

He gave all the silver notes and broken silver to the Fourth Master, who took Cheng Feng and Li Jian to the yamen with the owner.

Lin Yutong and the remaining people sat at the tea stall opposite. They ordered tea and snacks and waited on the side.

In less than half an hour, people came out.

"Is it done?" Lin Yutong asked quickly.

The Fourth Master smiled and said, "In this world, if there is money to open the way, how can you do it?"

Lin Yutong breathed a sigh of relief.

After having lunch outside, I bought melon, vegetables, rice and noodles, plus bedding, cotton jacket, firewood and charcoal. Even if the house can basically open fire.

When he arrived at home, Wang Wu took the people to clean inside and out.

The Fourth Master discussed with Lin Yutong, "Is there a few servants missing? I have one on the stove and one on the wash and clean. There is also a shortage of service by you." You can't ask Lin Yutong to cook every day and cook for a few people.

"Touch slowly. Let's talk about the right one." Lin Yutong was relatively cautious, afraid of meeting an inappropriate person.

After dinner, the Fourth Master made arrangements.

"Cheng Feng, you will serve in the study from now on." This kid is smart and smart.

"Wang Wu, you are in the door." This kid is too honest. But honest has the benefits of being honest. You can do whatever you want.

"Chen Hong, you have the family's purchasing." This kid is very active and will deal with people when he goes out.

"He Yuan, Zhu Yin, you two are at home, and you are sending a message back and forth, asking you to run errands. But remember, one of you must leave one of you to support you at home." You will not always stay at home. Of course, be careful. These two are brave and available.

"Li Jian, just follow me." This kid is very careful in his work and always follows him.

The six people quickly responded. Everyone had their own affairs, and their hearts settled down.

Lin Yutong gave each person another one tael of silver, "From the future, it will be five hundred yuan a month. From the first day of next month, Chen Hong will come to pay the money. In addition, he will eat and wear food and clothing at home. He will wear two clothes every season."

The few people looked at each other, which was definitely an unexpected surprise. When they followed, they just wanted to avoid starving to death. Who knew there was still money to make money?

Several kowtowed and then retreated.

The two of them took a shower and lay comfortably on them.

"It's been alive." Lin Yutong hummed comfortably. The Fourth Master patted her, "Sleep well. My master is just guarding."

Lin Yutong woke up in the middle of the night and saw the Fourth Master sitting cross-legged on the side practicing.

Lin Yutong simply sat up and meditated. The current effect can only be said to be similar to the effect when Honghui practiced his skills. But this is enough.

Before dawn, there was a sound of sweeping the yard outside.

The two of them got up. Lin Yutong went to the kitchen, and Cheng Feng started the fight.

After dinner, the Fourth Master took Li Jian out. He probably went to find Hu Da.

Lin Yutong arranged for Chen Hong, "I have to find a bricklayer, and this yard needs to be repaired." It is not about beauty, just to block people's sight.

Chen Hong came back this time not only with a bricklayer, but also with three women.

"Grandma, do you think they can use it?" Chen Hong pointed to three yellow-faced women and whispered, "This is the one who came up from under the city wall last night. What a pity... When he came up, the man in the family was killed by the victims, and they were the only ones left..."

Lin Yutong frowned a little. At this time, being able to take out money to build some people on the wall proves that the conditions at home are not bad. Such people are not good candidates for slaves. Even beggars on the street are not as good as beggars.

Chen Hong is full of sympathy, but now he cannot act on sympathy.

This is the hardest thing to distinguish between human hearts.

Jin was fleeing, and the Lin family picked her up, and she lived a stable life in the Lin family.

County Magistrate Fan also fled and was rescued by the Fan family, but he was kind to revenge.

So far, these three women have just lowered their heads but did not show any other expressions, and they know that they are not people who bend over easily.

She took two taels of silver and handed it over, "It's fate that you meet. You are in trouble. You are also in trouble. This is abrupt person in my family, and it's really rude."

At this moment, the older woman raised her head, looked at Lin Yutong, and then became blessed, "This is considered as our borrowing of a few people, and we will definitely return it another day."

Lin Yutong nodded, "Please sit down and have a cup of tea."

The woman shook her head, "No! Come to visit another day."

Lin Yutong didn't force herself to stay and sent the person out in person.

Turning around, Chen Hong was at a loss, "Grandma, I..."

"It's okay!" Lin Yutong waved her hand, "You are kind-hearted. You think that having food to eat and a place to shelter from the wind and rain is a blessing. Don't you know that some people would rather starve to death than bow their heads?" She said, and said, "You go to the waiter, who is familiar with the nearby ones. It's okay to hire women who are willing to work. Those who know the truth are more at ease than those who come outside."

Chen Hong then responded quickly.

Lin Yutong told several bricklayers about the matter of building a layer of attic on the veranda. She didn't even have to take care of the materials by herself. After setting the construction period, she gave one or two to a certain amount of money, and the matter was settled.

At this time, the Fourth Master was sitting opposite Hu Da. There were also arrow towers on the city wall, sitting inside to shelter from the wind and rain, and to see clearly the situation below. It was such a good place.

"Brother, have you bought the yard under the city wall?" Hu Da asked.

The Fourth Master nodded, "Others dare not be neighbors with these brothers, but I feel that living like this is extremely stable."

Hu Da laughed loudly, "I see that my brother and sister are also heroines. I can't scare him if I wait like this." Instead, the dead body scared the brothers who were guarding this section. I didn't dare to look into the yard below today.

The Fourth Master waved his hand, "It's just a little trick to protect yourself."

Hu Da didn't ask in depth and changed the topic: "Brothers are expensive, but are there any trouble?"

The Fourth Master nodded, "The family members came out of their hometown and were separated. The situation below is dangerous. I am afraid that my family will not be able to come up when they arrive at the city. So I entrust Brother Hu..."

Hu Da looked at the Fourth Master, "Brother, since you have settled in the capital, have you ever thought about making a living?"

The Fourth Master knew that Hu Da hadn't finished saying anything, and he smiled and said, "I really haven't thought about it. Brother, what advice do you have?"

Hu Xiaoshou said, "Do you like our job?"

The Fourth Master couldn't help but look at Hu Da, "This infantry commander's yamen guarding the nine gates of the capital. How important is it? How can you enter just by wanting to?"

Hu Da was interested in making friends with such capable people. When there were too many such people, in danger, his brothers in his team had a great chance of survival. One pack of dead medicine was prepared by one person, and he could definitely save his life when it was important. He laughed and his voice lowered, and he said softly: "Brother, you are a wise man. There is no empty salary in this barracks. One thousand people reported to him, and it would be good if he could have five hundred. As long as you can get more money than the salary that soldiers can receive in their lifetime, how could our commander be unhappy?"

The Fourth Master instantly understood the trick here. If you add someone, you don’t have to go through the relationship with him. A small commander can handle the matter. These guards only cost six taels of silver a year, and even if they work for thirty years, they only cost one hundred and eighty taels of silver. This commander can’t eat a person’s thirty years of noise at once. You can’t eat a little bit every year. If you earn a large sum of silver at one time, it’s a good deal.

"How?" Hu Da asked with a smile.

The Fourth Master was surprised. If even the military camps guarding the capital were empty, then this dynasty would probably be terminally ill.

Now, if you want to do something, the prerequisite is that there must be someone and weapons.

Although guarding the gatekeeper is not a decent job, it is also a springboard for entering the infantry battalion. The barracks are where people need people and weapons are needed.

He pursed his lips, "Brother, I'm very eager to do it!"
