Encounter Taotie by chance at the beginning and practice longevity skills

At night, Lei Ze looked at the house in front of him and nodded with a smile.

Compared with their previous house in Mingyue City, this house was bigger, taller and looked more luxurious.

It seems that in the more than a hundred years since Lei Ze left Mingyue City, Mingyue City's architectural aesthetics and architectural standards have progressed quite rapidly.

The first is the glazed fairy crystal, which is the glass that Lei Ze saw in his previous life. This thing is now popular. When he came here before, he only had floor-to-ceiling windows in his mansion. You can't see it from the street.

Now, nine out of ten shops in Mingyue City are equipped with glazed fairy crystals.

The house in front of them now covers an area of ​​about five acres.

According to the weights and measures of the previous life, it would be more than 3,300 square meters.

There are five floors in total, each floor is one and a half feet high, which is five meters.

The outside decoration is relatively classical, with glazed tiles and carved wooden beams. Except for the middle part, there are huge floor-to-ceiling windows in every direction, making it more transparent.

The steps made of white stone lead to the spacious front door. The lintel is engraved with exquisite patterns. Each step seems to tell the story of the grandeur and luxury of this mansion.

Entering the gate, the first thing that comes into view is a huge open hall with a finely carved jade fountain in the center.

Compared with the area of ​​the open hall, the fountain's area is not too large, only a few dozen square meters.

This open hall covers an area of ​​one acre, which is more than 600 square meters.

The water in this fountain is connected to the previous underground pipe and is very clear.

The five floors above are all hollowed out, which means that the fountain on the first floor can also be seen from the fifth floor.

Several groups of exquisite leisure areas are placed around the fountain, equipped with cushioned couches and low coffee tables. Many exquisite murals and calligraphy are hung on the walls, creating a peaceful and elegant atmosphere.

The fabric on the sofa is soft silk, which seems to be smoother and smoother than the ones bought by Lei Ze outside.

On the left side of the open hall are ten small rooms, each of which is about more than 100 square meters, and the total area is almost two acres.

On the right are the toilet and kitchen.

Because people who can afford such a place are probably monks, so even though the house is so big, in fact there are not many toilets in this house. There are only toilets in an inconspicuous location on the first, second and third floors.

And it's only about fifty square meters.

Because the monks' cleanliness was taken into consideration, most of the toilets were baths for the monks to bathe.

The kitchen is not big, only 200 square meters, and it is only on the first floor.

There is also a wine cellar and warehouse, which together occupy 200 square meters.

The remaining space on the right is a huge restaurant.

It is estimated that it can accommodate dozens of people dining at the same time without feeling crowded.

Upstairs, it has the same layout as the first floor.

However, the rooms are all empty, because the builder of this house does not know what the buyer needs, so there is no decoration in advance.

But these empty rooms leave unlimited space for imagination and creation for future owners. Whether they are used as training rooms, libraries, or guest rooms, they can be freely transformed according to needs.

Lei Ze looked at this huge house and said to the general: "How about it, this place is big enough."

The general smiled sweetly: "Master is the best."

Lei Ze said: "Then let's each take one level."

After hearing this, Xian Meng rushed to say: "Then I will live on the first floor. There is a kitchen on the first floor, so I can cook for you."

The general said: "Then I will live on the second floor."

Lei Ze nodded: "Then I'll live on the third floor, and the longevity will be placed in the lake outside. He doesn't like being in the house."

Xianmeng said with some distress: "Brother Xianren, although this land is very large and the garden outside is about one hundred acres, it cost us one million spiritual stones."

"This house is a free gift."

"But we still have to pay a tax of 50,000 spiritual stones every year."

The general also said: "This Mingyue City is not very respectful to the immortals."

"This is in the Cangyan Dynasty. If we improve our cultivation a little bit, let alone a piece of land, Yanyang can teach you a small city."

After hearing this, Lei Ze smiled and said, "Yes, you two have watched The Legend of Mo Qu."

Xianmeng and the general nodded.

Lei Ze asked again: "Then how do you think the Cangyan Dynasty treats ordinary people?"

The general said: "It seems that we treat it that way. Ignore it, and we are separated by immortals and mortals."

Xianmeng thought for a while and said: "In fact, immortals and mortals are not completely separated. Only mortals with qualifications can integrate into the Yanyang Sect and become their own power."

"I think it's a bit like the Mohists in the Warring States Period. Ordinary people are resources. Those with qualifications come to practice and supplement their combat effectiveness."

"Looking good is also a resource for these powerful people to enjoy."

Lei Ze then asked: "Then how do you think Mingyue City treats ordinary people?"

The general answered first: "You can see from Mingyue City that the treatment is not much different. Immortals have certain preferential treatment, but it may not be obvious."

Xianmeng also said: "Yes, I feel that Mingyue City really treats ordinary people as people, not resources."

"You see, if you don't have enough to eat, Mingyue City provides relief, and it doesn't cost much to send your child to a school in Mingyue City. This is very different from the schools for mortals in the Cangyan Dynasty."

"You still remember that Li Fang's father pawned the jewelry left by his mother after his death so that Li Fang could go to school."

"Although it is the best school in the city, the fees of other schools are not low."

"And it doesn't seem to cost anything for children here in Mingyue City to go to school."

Lei Ze said: "We have provided benefits to the people at the bottom, but where does this money come from? It is only contributed by us people."

Xianmeng suddenly realized: "So there are some taxes here that are so high."

Lei Ze nodded: "But this money is not very important to us. Our money is in vain anyway."

Xianmeng was dissatisfied after hearing this: "Brother Xianren, how can you say that? Aren't you the one who fought so hard to get all this money from those bad guys?"

"We are robbing the rich to give to the poor."

The general said: "Don't talk about what you have or don't have. Get me a bed first, Xianmeng. I remember that our silk, cotton, and cloth are all in your storage ring."

Xianmeng smiled, her smile was gentle and peaceful, and said: "Okay, okay, I'll go right away."
