Was this thing originally called "Phoenix Wood"? This was the first time that Master Wu Sheng and Dongsun heard about it. They didn't expect that this shop owner knew the goods, so they carefully complimented him.
Nafang A's face was bright: "Shangyong is close to Baiyue, and Baiyue is close to the wilderness. Most of the good things collected there will come to Shangyong. I have seen a lot. This phoenix wood product It looks pretty good, it’s just a little short, that’s okay, I’ll go ask the swordsman and see if they agree.”
The Dao family is the original owner of the house. I followed Fang Jia to the Dao family's new house. After entering, I found that it was a courtyard with three entrances, one more entrance than the house for sale, but the courtyard was still so narrow every time I entered. It seems that this is The layout of the houses in Shangyong City.
The master of the Dao family is named Dao Baifeng. This is a surname from a Baiyue people. He seems to have a high level of cultivation and is strong and powerful. He must be very unique in martial arts. Therefore, he was valued by Sima of the Yong Kingdom and became a scholar.
Dao Baifeng said: "Your phoenix wood is of good quality, it is indeed a good thing. If you go to the market, you can definitely get two gold. But my Sima once said that you should discount everything and think about the worst. Therefore, I can only give you a discount of one gold and three hundred gold. This is because you want to buy my house. Otherwise, you can only exchange it for one gold."
Is this what your Sima said? Wu Sheng was speechless, but the sword Bai Feng looked muscular and powerful. Listening to his words, it seemed that he was an axis man, not the kind that could be bargained for. Wu Sheng didn't care too much and took out four more spiritual items one after another. Let Dao Baifeng take a look at the material.
Dao Baifeng nodded while looking at it: "You two must have come back from the wilderness? I saw these two spiritual materials when I escorted Sima to the wilderness. They are very rare. Adding the five together, I I’ll give you the house. I heard from Commander Xunjia that if you still want to join the country and serve as citizens, how about I help you get the certificate of citizenship for you?"
Once you have a house, you still need Fang Jia to come forward as the middleman, you need to find a local Chinese person as a guarantee, and then you need to take care of Situ's house. These all need to be spent, and the total cost ranges from three to five hundred yuan. Dao Baifeng Promising to settle the matter together was a discount for Wu Sheng in buying a house and saved him the trouble of running errands. Wu Sheng immediately expressed his gratitude.
After the matter was settled, Dao Baifeng took the deed of the house to Fang A, and gave him a hollow nanmu sign, which was a token of his Dao family, and asked Fang A to go through the relevant procedures. Fang Jia respected Dao Baifeng very much and agreed to take Wu Sheng and the others to the small courtyard. He pointed at the door plaque and said: "The house and the two names have told me that from now on, we will be close neighbors. I will go to Situ Mansion for you right now."
Wu Sheng asked Master Dongsun: "What do you think is a suitable name?"
Master Dongsun looked up at the word "Dao Zhai" on the wooden plaque, scratched his head and said, "Wu Zhai?"
Wu Sheng coughed: "We have to make a living and do business, or should we call it... Dongsun Hall?"
Master Dongsun was so moved that his eyes were red: "How could this happen?"
Wu Sheng muttered: "That's right...this is not good...should we call it Baicaotang? Or Tongrentang?"
Master Dongzhan opened his mouth for a long time and did not close it.
Wu Sheng finally made up his mind: "We established a church based on benevolence and righteousness, and since we are in Yongcheng, let's just call it Yongrentang! I am Shen Wulang, does Shen know? Shen Guo, yes... This year is the 21st ...His surname is Dong...Dongsun, this year..."
Master Dongzhan weakly counted the number: "Seventy-one..."
Wu Sheng took another hundred ant nose money and gave it to Fang Jia. Fang Jia had eaten twice this time and smiled as brightly as a flower: "Don't worry, Mr. Wulang, Mr. Dong, I will definitely handle it well for you."
Wu Sheng asked again: "Chief Jia, how many workshops and armors does our Shangyong have?"
Fang Jia replied: "There are nine houses in the city, and each of them has a Jiujia. We have twenty-four households in the Three Fangs."
Wu Sheng made a rough calculation and found that the number of Shangyong people was almost 10,000 or 3,000. If the clan, ministers, officials, scholars and servants were included, there would be about 20,000 people in the city. As for the savages and refugees outside the city, I don't know, and no one is counting them.
Fang Jia suddenly remembered something and reminded: "Is this house rented out?"
It turns out that as a transit place connecting Baiyue and Chu, there are many refugees in Shangyong City. However, a large part of these refugees actually go to the wilderness to find opportunities. There are monks, martial artists, and even people who simply go to the wilderness. Ordinary people trying their luck. A few of these so-called "refugees" paid money to become citizens of Yongguo, but most of them just used this place as a transit point. Shangyong was not like the princes of the Central Plains, who drove people away at night, tacitly admitting that the city was Chinese people can rent private houses to them.
Although the house purchased by Master Wu Sheng and Dongsun is small, it has two entrances and a total of six rooms. If it is rented out, it will also be a source of income.
Wu Sheng didn't agree, so Fang Jia went to Situ's Mansion to go through the formalities. He did it very quickly, and by evening he had exchanged the house deeds, as well as the two people's nationality certificates - each had a bamboo slip with their name, surname and residence written on it.
Now, the two of them were officially brought under the management of Fang Jia. Fang Jia knew that these two were "monks who came back from the wilderness" and was very happy to have two such "masters" under his rule. He organized a neighborhood banquet - the expenses were still borne by Wu Sheng and the others. .
As the locals do as the Romans do, Wu Sheng could only spend money to hold one, so he set up a flowing banquet according to the custom in the neighborhood and gathered seven tables. The cost was actually not that big, only about a hundred bucks, and the two newcomers became acquainted with more than 20 families in the neighborhood.
Fang A introduced that there are actually two families in the Fang who are also monks traveling to the wilderness, but they are not in the city at the moment. They are probably either in the wilderness or in Baiyue, and they will not come back until winter.
When the new plaque of "Yongrentang" was hung on the lintel, the neighbors all applauded loudly, and the atmosphere was very warm. Master Dongsun was so moved that his eyes turned red again. He choked with sobs and said to Wu Sheng: "I have been hiding in Langshan for more than 20 years. Zai, suddenly returned to the market, and I just felt... I feel... Well, I don’t know how to talk about it. It’s embarrassing to say that I have cried all these days, and I haven’t cried for decades. I cry a lot these past few months.”
Wu Sheng patted him on the shoulder: "Practice and practice are all about virtue, character and conduct. How else can we say that the small hermit is hiding in the mountains, the middle hermit is hiding in the world, and the big hermit is hiding in the court? How can we practice without experiencing the world? "
Master Dongsun asked doubtfully: "Isn't cultivation meant to cultivate one's true nature, nourish one's soul, and travel to heaven and earth?"
Wu Sheng took a deep breath, flicked his sleeves and said, "It's not interesting, it's up to you!"
Several neighbors came up with wine bowls to drink, and asked what "Yongrentang" planned to do in the future. Wu Sheng smiled and said: "Yongrentang sells elixirs. If any of you neighbors suffers from headaches, brain fever, or injuries from falls, I hope you will You can come to Yongrentang to buy medicine, which is guaranteed to be effective, cure the disease, the price is fair, and you will not be deceived!"
Fang Jia was delighted when he heard this and asked, "How much does a pill cost?"
Wu Sheng estimated the price and made a quotation on the spot: "The minimum is only thirty yuan, you can give it a try."
