One day later, Yangmei Town.
This is a small town built in the mountains, with the Sanli Plum Grove next to it, hence its name.
Yangmei Town is also within Dayu County, but it is one of the poorer towns in the county. There are no specialties, except for the bayberry produced here and the bayberry wine made from the bayberry, there is nothing else.
Even because it is located in the mountains, the food production is very small and cannot feed many people. The entire town only has a thousand people.
Such a small town is naturally inconspicuous in the entire county and does not attract many people's attention.
Similarly, since the Black Wolf Gang is here, it naturally leaves no tentacles.
"It's a quiet, peaceful town."
Lu Yuan came here and looked at the town located in the valley. He was very satisfied with the environment and atmosphere here.
It took him a day to inspect the selected new settlement.
Because there are few people and poor land, the Black Wolf Gang looks down upon this place. There are no large-scale gangsters, at most there are some small gangsters.
Also because of poverty, there are not even any government officials here, so there is no need to worry about meeting those low-key officials.
The town's public security is only provided by the militia formed voluntarily by the local villagers. The number is only about ten people, and it is managed by the mayor here.
There are no gangs, no corrupt officials, and all uncontrollable factors are far away. This place is simply perfect.
"who?"
The quiet town has always been self-sufficient, with few outsiders entering the place, so after seeing Lu Yuan watching at the entrance of the town, several militiamen quickly gathered around.
It is their duty to patrol for thieves and guard the countryside.
"Sir, I am a hunter on the mountain and I would like to see the mayor."
Looking at the vigilant militiamen, Lu Yuan smiled and said with a bit of flattery.
…
After a while.
"You want to settle in the town?"
The mayor of Yangmei Town is named Sun, and most of the people in the town have this surname. He has a somewhat round body shape, but a very rich appearance. After hearing the request from the hunter in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up and he stared at Lu Yuan closely and said, "You have no household registration and are a black householder. This is a bit embarrassing."
Although the words were embarrassing, looking at the other party's eyes, Lu Yuan still didn't understand what he meant.
Fortunately, he was mentally prepared when he came, so he immediately took out two taels of silver from his pocket and handed it over: "Please be accommodating, sir, and think of a way."
Mayor Sun glanced at the handed silver, glanced at it, raised the tea cup next to him, took a sip of tea, and said nothing.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan felt a pain in his heart, knowing that he had encountered a glutton.
If you don’t feed the other party, it’s difficult to naturalize and settle down!
He sighed, took out another one tael of silver from his arms, presented it to me and said, "Sir, I was negligent just now and took less money for tea."
After a long time.
Lu Yuan quickly left the mayor's mansion with the newly acquired roster.
After walking a certain distance and seeing no one around, he cursed secretly: "Bah, what the mayor is, he is just a corrupt official and a scoundrel.
Just to ask him to register and register, he actually had to charge me five taels of silver. It's too shameful. "
For local officials, the growth of the population under their rule is their political achievement.
Lu Yuan took the initiative to come to the door and asked for registration. He was rushing to show others his political achievements.
Just like that, Mayor Sun actually wanted to steal five taels of silver from him. How shameful!
"I've made a note of this loss. If I have a chance in the future, I must get it back. My money is not that easy to get."
Cursing secretly in his mind and drawing small circles for Mayor Sun, Lu Yuan turned around and walked to a hotel in the town.
No matter how unhappy I feel, the household registration has been completed. But if I want to really implement the household registration, I have to buy a house in the town and settle down completely.
There is no way. The exact words of Mayor Sun just now were: "You don't have a fixed residence. How can the court tax you? What if you can't find anyone? If you don't buy a house, you might as well go back to the mountains and be a savage, where no one will care about you." You are at ease."
Now that it's all said and done, in order to make his household registration real, Lu Yuan can only make a determined effort and endure the exploitation in the future.
Although the life of an Orion is free and easy, it is also very bitter and cold. He lives in a cave in the mountains and is surrounded by wild beasts and poisonous insects that can threaten his life. It is extremely dangerous.
After leaving the mountain, you have to be exploited by gangs and bullied by petty officials. You really have no human rights at all and you are bullied all the time.
In contrast, if you are an ordinary household, although you will inevitably be taxed by the court every year, you will still have a guarantee, and someone will take care of you even if you die.
One is not a human being, the other is a human being.
For you, what would you choose?
The answer, of course, is to be human. Even the lowest person.
"Fortunately, I have Ma Jiqing's net worth. Even if I take away the money I just settled in, I still have more than thirty-eight taels left."
In the hotel, a guest room was opened and food was ordered. While eating, Lu Yuan thought: "With this much money, even if I buy another apartment and the rest is empty, it will be enough for me to pay taxes for two or three years." .”
This huge deposit gave him the confidence to register and register.
The house purchase went smoothly.
I just asked the boss in the hotel. He heard that he was new and wanted to settle in the town, so he enthusiastically introduced him to a residence.
It turned out that there happened to be a family in the town whose son had become a shopkeeper in a restaurant in the county town and had made a name for himself, so he thought of bringing his parents to the city to enjoy their life.
However, people have left, but the house is still there. No one lives in it. It would be a pity to leave it empty.
So the other party wanted to take action.
The house has two bedrooms, one living room, a courtyard and a kitchen on one side, with an area of about 400 square meters.
Because it was in a rural town, and the original owner planned to move to the county town, he was eager to sell it, so the price was not expensive, and he bought it for thirteen taels of silver.
Later, Lu Yuan spent another two taels of silver and bought some furniture and items that were difficult for the owner to move away, so as to save himself the trouble of buying more.
After fifteen taels of silver, he finally owned the first real real estate in this world.
Although it's not big, it's still in the countryside.
But compared to the time when I first crossed over, I lived in a cave, slept on the floor, and kept warm by the fire. Now that I can have a house that is sheltered from the wind and rain, and can sleep in a warm bed, this life is already heaven.
With identity, I have a stable place to live.
Lu Yuan is very satisfied with his current life.
"But even though I have my own house, I can't just sit back and have nothing. I still can't let go of my hunting skills. This is my only way to make a living now.
And the bacon skins I have stored in the mountain are also a big fortune.
I'll make inquiries in two days to see if the Black Wolf Gang's people have left, and find an opportunity to go back and transport them all back.
It was a pity that the leopard killed the day before yesterday could not be dealt with. I don't know whether it was rotten in the end or what kind of beast was gained. "
night.
After cleaning the house for a day, he was sweating all over. After taking a shower, he lay comfortably on the bed covered with quilts. Lu Yuan fell into a deep sleep while thinking about things.
This time, he felt at ease sleeping in a safe town and in his own home.
