After assigning rooms, you have to buy daily necessities.
Pots and pans, quilts and mattresses, as well as meals and vegetables to eat.
Since it is a home, it must look like a home.
Time went back to two years ago, when they rented a house in Xieyang County, but at that time they brought all their daily necessities and had a place to stay to live a stable life.
Now, even the needles have to be purchased again.
Fortunately, Aunt Zhang is here.
Men can't understand a woman's attentiveness, and Jiang Sheng can't even imagine it.
Although the prices in Fengjing are so breathtaking, Aunt Zhang only spent half a day arranging all the bedding, arranging the necessary items for the kitchen, and cooking a table of delicious local dishes.
After traveling for more than a month, although I tasted all kinds of delicious food, after all, I was tired and tired, so I couldn't eat well.
It wasn't until they sat on the wooden table in the small courtyard that they entered that they felt what it meant to be quiet and peaceful over time.
That night, everyone had a good sleep.
Except Zheng Ruqian.
It is known that the whole family only has 500 taels of silver. After deducting 80 taels for the rent and deposit, 50 taels of pots, pans, bedding, etc. have been used, leaving 370 taels.
In Shili Town and Xieyang County, three hundred and seventy taels is a huge amount of money, enough for a family of three to live for half a lifetime.
But this is Fengjing, where pork costs twenty cents per pound, rice and noodles start at five cents, and the cost of living has more than tripled.
It's difficult to live with three hundred and seventy taels, let alone use it to make more money?
For the first time, Zheng Ruqian regretted that he should not have spent all his savings to buy a separate courtyard and hoard ice cubes.
Maybe this behavior will bring huge profits in the years to come, but Fengjing's embarrassment is right in front of him. If he doesn't solve the current situation, where will the future come from?
Zheng Ruqian was thinking too much and was very worried. He was afraid of affecting Xu Mo's reporting to the Imperial College, so he didn't even dare to toss and turn.
But Xu Mo still felt his brother's short breathing.
He opened his eyes and looked at the blurry beams, thinking about the words in his heart, and finally said after a long time, "Do you think we have the initial difficulty now?"
Zheng Ruqian was startled.
It was so difficult at the beginning. They couldn't afford to eat, so they had to pick up rotten vegetable leaves. Xu Mo had to copy books even though he had a broken leg, just to earn a few pennies for copying books.
I still remember that my first savings came from selling mushrooms. Including Xu Mo's cost of copying books, the total amount was only twenty or thirty cents.
But for them at that time, it was already considered a huge sum of money.
Zheng Ruqian still remembers Jiang Sheng's happy look. She was counting more than twenty copper coins as if she were counting gold ingots, and she looked extremely satisfied.
Why is it that in the blink of an eye, I have three hundred and seventy taels of silver in my hand, and I can still feel uneasy?
Zheng Ruqian felt that he was stimulated by the prosperity of Fengjing.
When he was in Anshui County, he felt that he was half a boss. Although he had never eaten at Youranju, he had the courage to go in and out of Youranju.
But when they arrived in Fengjing, even a fan dared to step over his chest. Everyone could see their poverty, their shyness, and how little money they had in their pockets.
Many families in Anshui County went crazy with joy when the three hundred and seventy taels were thrown in. There was no sound even heard on the ground in Fengjing.
But does every household in Fengjing really have three hundred and seventy taels?
If there are more rich people, does that mean everyone in this land has money?
Zheng Ruqian didn't believe it.
Even if Fengjing is far more prosperous than Anshui County, there will still be some poor people, and some poverty will still exist.
Three hundred and seventy taels was the only money he had in his hands, but it was still elusive.
Why belittle yourself?
Why are you tossing and turning?
Back then, they were able to go from having nothing to saving thousands of taels, to having a workshop to hire workers, and then to buying a separate yard to store ice cubes.
Now three hundred and seventy taels can be turned into 3,700 taels and then thirty-seven thousand taels in Zheng Ruqian's hands.
There will definitely be round Dongzhu on Jiang Sheng’s feet!
Quietly, the young man who was full of thoughts just now fell into sleep.
In the dream, my sister was wearing embroidered shoes with Dongzhu embedded in them, dancing happily.
In the dream, the third brother was riding a horse and holding a gun, looking very heroic.
In the dream, they were sitting in a wealthy courtyard, drinking wine and tea, with countless servants and endless wealth.
The most important thing is that they live together and never separate.
Xu Mo heard Zheng Ruqian's long breathing, stretched out his hands to tuck the corners of the quilt for him, and fell asleep with the corner of his mouth raised.
The next day.
Xu Mo is going to the Imperial College to study and prepare for the national examination.
The family enthusiastically prepared pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and Jiang Sheng also suggested buying a high-quality silk robe, for fear that he would be looked down upon by the students studying at the Imperial College.
In response, Xu Mo shook his head and declined.
The fourteen-year-old boy said sonorously, "No matter how good the silk fabrics are, it is better to study hard. I went to the Imperial College to prepare for the examination, not to show off my clothes. If my classmates look down on me because of my mere clothes, then it's okay not to hand in." "
He firmly wore the blue cotton robe brought by Anshui County. The sleeves were narrow and easy to polish ink. The cotton was durable and not afraid of damage. The light blue color was like his steady temperament. It looked inconspicuous, but it was always impossible to ignore. .
Even the pens, inks, paper and inkstones are used as much as possible, and no additional purchases are made.
Zheng Ruqian sniffed, "Brother, you don't have to go out of your way to save money for me. No matter whether it's three hundred and seventy taels or three hundred taels, it won't stop me from doing business in Fengjing and making money."
"It's not for you." Xu Mo patted him on the shoulder, "I'm just being myself."
It doesn’t matter if Fengjing’s flowers are charming and beautiful, as long as you have a firm heart, no matter how many flowers you have, it’s just an illusion.
The second entrance courtyard is in a good location.
Go out and take a horse-drawn carriage, and you'll be there just in time for a cup of tea.
The Imperial College is the highest institution of learning in the entire Dayu Dynasty. Its students are also called supervisors. It mainly recruits outstanding children from major aristocratic families. With their outstanding performance, they can even enter the official career without taking the imperial examination.
However, as the talents from the imperial examinations shone brightly, it became a bit difficult for the supervisors in the Imperial College to avoid the imperial examinations and enter the officialdom.
In order to cultivate talents fairly and impartially, the current emperor of the Dayu Dynasty issued an order that the Imperial College could recruit outstanding students after the imperial examinations from various places, as long as they had a souvenir from the local county governor.
Now, what Xu Mo is holding in his hand is the handwritten letter written by Governor He Chengzhang to the Imperial College.
Fourteen-year-old Jie Yuan took a deep breath and walked to the entrance of the Imperial College. Just as he was about to enter, he heard the sound of horses reining in laughter behind him.
Immediately afterwards, several figures rushed past him.
There were young people in their teens, some in their twenties, and even a middle-aged man in his thirties with a beard.
This is not surprising. Many people spend their entire lives taking exams but never pass.
Xu Mo took a deep breath and was about to enter the Imperial Academy.
Suddenly, he saw the side face of the middle-aged man, and his blood suddenly condensed, and he froze in place, unable to move.
