What you say is what you say, and what you do is what you do.
After coming out of the restaurant, Zhang Xuezhou examined the abnormality that Rong Tianding mentioned about his recitation of the "Grave Sutra".
This place is useful to Rong Tianding, but Zhang Xuezhou didn't find anything special after a long investigation. Even using Feng Shui to explore the acupoints, he couldn't find anything.
In the end, he had to give up on this special place for the time being and focus on what was most important to them at the moment.
Live in peace.
The resettlement house is a temporary residence for the injured after the rain disaster. Once the body returns to normal, it cannot be moved back in.
The Dong Mansion collapsed and was uninhabitable, and Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding did not find Dong Zhongshu at the moment.
The two of them were planning to find a place to live, even if it was a doghouse, it would be considered their own place.
But Zhang Xuezhou didn't expect that his wealth couldn't even afford a dog house in Chang'an City. He looked for the comprador house, where he learned that regular real estate in Chang'an City would cost at least 10,000 and a half taels to start with.
Ten thousand and a half taels is ten thousand taels of money.
This is just a drop of money for a wealthy family like Mr. Zhao, but for Zhang Xuezhou, who only has hundreds and a half taels of money at the moment, this amount of money is a bit high.
Moreover, you can't just buy the real estate in Chang'an City if you want to. In addition to being attractive to you, the neighbors must be willing to accept the new neighbors.
Human relations are essential in this.
The biggest problem is the household registration. As for the household registrations of Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding, the former is in Fuping County and the latter is in Rongcheng. Accordingly, they are only eligible to buy houses in Fuping County and Rongcheng.
If you want to get rid of the household registration restrictions, you can only become a court official and be eligible to buy a house through government transfer.
For example, Dong Zhongshu did this when buying a house.
Not only is the price of a house high, but most people who want to buy it still can't buy it. It's normal that Chang'an City Guesthouse and other places charge high prices accordingly.
"Cousin, so we will never be able to buy a house in Chang'an City in this life?"
Ten thousand and a half taels of money can solve the problem. If he can't make a living by himself, Rong Tianding can scrape together the money at home. It won't be a problem to get this money together.
The real trouble lies in home-buying qualifications.
Rong Tianding felt a huge headache.
When he came out to make a living, he didn't expect that he would run into trouble when it came to food and accommodation.
This was a problem he had never considered in Chengdu, but it was also the most serious problem at the moment.
Food, drink and housing were daily necessities. Not only could they not find Dong Zhongshu at the moment, they also couldn't eat and drink in Dong's mansion all the time.
"Cousin, don't worry," Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand and said, "Let's make some money first, then find an official position in the court, and then we can buy a house!"
The Internal Affairs Bureau does a lot of things, and being in charge of real estate is only part of it. Zhang Xuezhou came here after thinking about it, and he also applied for a side job.
He registered as a "city citizen" and paid another one hundred and a half taels as city rent.
"Treating bruises involves selling medicine!"
Municipal registration is extremely simple, as long as it meets the normal commercial scope, you can register.
Zhang Xuezhou's registered municipal registration does not contain anything strange, and such medical qualifications do not require on-site verification.
As long as you don't have the ability to treat diseases, this municipal registration is equivalent to a wasted registration.
And if you kill someone when you want to treat a disease, it will involve prosecution and the government settling the case.
Accordingly, the threshold for him to obtain municipal citizenship is not high, but it is difficult to trade and run his own business well.
Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to continue his old career in Shujuncheng.
Rong Tianding also registered a municipal registration, which involves the sale of talismans, talisman water, and runes.
"In this business of yours, people are prone to death, so be careful when setting up a stall!"
He happily handed over the money, and when the clerk from the Internal Affairs Bureau smiled and warned him, Rong Tianding couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Can you please explain a little more clearly?" Rong Tianding asked, handing over one and a half taels.
"You must have real skills." The clerk quickly reached out and took the money and replied: "I have seen Taoist priests who come to do this business, ranging from 100 to 80 years old, but there are no Taoists who can do it for half a year!"
The only thing missing from the clerk's face was the word "cheating" written on his face.
It's just a matter of deceiving the unsophisticated villagers in a small place. In a place like Chang'an City, where dragons and snakes are mixed, the difficulty of defrauding money will rise sharply. Some Taoists were often beaten up by others, and then sent to the government for another fine. With so much money, it would not be surprising if someone was beaten to death.
"Thank you very much!"
Rong Tianding was also glad that he listened to Zhang Xuezhou and did not directly mention that he wanted to sell pig blood paintings.
Judging from the current situation, it is basically impossible for him to make a living selling paintings.
If Rong Tianding was to kill pigs, the pig-killing stall in Chang'an City was not something he could interfere with.
In the end, Rong Tianding had no choice but to collect the city registration documents and follow Zhang Xuezhou out of the door.
The two cousins are engaged in business without capital. What is different from Rong Tianding is that Zhang Xuezhou has real abilities.
No matter what kind of injury it is, the treatment will be effective very quickly.
Having done business in this area in Shujun City, Zhang Xuezhou obviously wanted to make a lot of money in a short time again, and then stay in hotels when he should, and eat and drink when he should.
"It's a bruise. Let's treat the bruise!"
The two found a small open space in the West Market. Zhang Xuezhou shouted a few times, followed by Rong Tianding.
"Cousin, it's okay if we can treat other diseases. How can there be anyone injured in Chang'an City!"
The shouting continued until it was almost dark, but no one came to Zhang Xuezhou's stall. No one even came to inquire. Rong Tianding felt that Zhang Xuezhou's business was not easy to do.
Even if Zhang Xuezhou is really capable, he can't bear the thought of normal people not getting sick in this way.
Most people's illnesses are concentrated in headaches, fever, vomiting, sweating and other symptoms. A few people are missing arms or legs and bleeding profusely. Of course, if this happens, they usually die on the spot without waiting to be taken to the hospital for medical treatment.
"Don't worry." Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand and said, "We are new here and have no reputation. Not many people know our capabilities. As long as our business can be opened, it will definitely take a long time!"
Zhang Xuezhou's face was calm, but he was also a little panicked in his heart.
There are very few unlucky people in Chang'an City who encounter buildings collapsing and breaking bones. It is very difficult to encounter patients with injuries caused by falls.
At the moment, he could only look around to see if any Taoist priests had been beaten up by someone who set up a stall, and then asked for help from them.
But the result of looking around made him very disappointed.
Ordinary people's lives are so simple and unpretentious. Everyone does business very harmoniously, and even small quarrels do not rise to the level of using swords or swords.
After working at the stall for a short while, Zhang Xuezhou's harvest was zero.
And he began to feel hungry again.
Inedia cannot be used immediately after one cycle.
For example, Zhang Xuezhou was able to fast for seven days before. He could only continue fasting after his body recovered.
This kind of fasting does not involve seven days of fasting, resting for half an hour and then seven days of fasting. Instead, there is a body recovery time, and it needs to be adjusted to a physical state that can carry out fasting in order to continue to release this technique.
He had been fasting for nearly a month, which was far longer than any previous fasting. His body was undoubtedly extremely deficient, his food requirements were higher than those of ordinary people, and his food requirements were far beyond those of ordinary people.
"Let's go eat first!"
Zhang Xuezhou touched the bag and felt the amount of half a tael of money he had. He felt that he could only go to the Dong Mansion and lie down on the street tonight.
He and Rong Tianding mingled among the delisting crowds, chatting about plans to make a fortune.
But the two of them didn't make any money, but a lot of money went out of their pockets.
Looking along the way, the two of them had never encountered a patient with a broken head and bleeding.
After spending nearly a hundred and a half taels on a good meal, the two returned to Dong's Mansion in dismay.
Although Dong's Mansion is dilapidated and old, it covers an area of more than 600 square meters, so it will not take a day or two to build it accordingly.
As usual, Dong Zhongshu was not seen in the Dong Mansion, and there was a construction seal hanging on the door. The two were not allowed to go in or out. They could only pick up some scattered bamboo slips as pillows and found a corner to lie down.
“It’s quite lively in the middle of the night!”
As usual, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't fall asleep.
He squatted in the corner of the wall of Dong's Mansion, and the hours continued to fall into the night, and then into the dead of night, when everything was silent.
Zhang Xuezhou thought that the night in Chang'an City was quiet, but around the second watch, Chang'an City became lively. There were many men and women in fancy clothes running through the streets, and some people were riding the wind and waves. Headed towards the direction of the palace.
