He simply went out and caught up with the toothman Bai Zhong.

"Little brother, what's the matter?" Bai Zhong smiled kindly.

"Bai Fang, I want to ask you something," Jian Jian asked, "I don't know if you care about household registration?"

Although they mainly inspected the goods when they entered Beijing, the gatekeeper officials also led the inspection of people along the way.There was only information about Father Chu alone on the road guide of Yunhong Opera Troupe, which made it possible for him to enter the capital in the middle of it.

But if he intends to live here for a long time, he must apply for a household registration for himself, otherwise he will be in danger if he encounters a surprise inspection.

Bai Zhong yelled, with a troubled expression on his face.

"Why? Can't it be done?" I was a little disappointed.

Bai Zhong shook his head, "Little brother, you don't know, this capital city residence registration... is not something that I, a little idiot, can do. However, if the little brother just wants to settle in the capital, there is another way , is also a good strategy.”

"What method?" Simply asked.

Bai Zhong dragged him to a secluded place, and said in a low voice, "Ordinary people who come to the capital don't have a household registration, but it's the same if they have a guide. After all, this guide book is just a booklet, which is handed back and forth when it rains. It is inevitable that there will be some accidents. It just so happens. I know a blogger who is in charge of supplementary guides."

She was overjoyed and waited for Bai Zhong's next words.

Bai Zhong glanced at his suit, "It's just that if you follow the steps, you will have to pay ten taels of silver for the booklet, plus ten taels of silver for the touch-up fee..."

"Step-by-step? What's the situation with step-by-step?"

"The step-by-step method is to go to the Yamen to get your name first, but this way leads out, I'm afraid it will take at least half a month, maybe two or three months at most."

"What's the situation if you don't follow the steps." Simply asked.

Bai Zhong smiled, "If you don't follow the steps, then you have to visit the blogger's house in person. Then this is not a matter of 20 taels of silver. If you need it urgently, you can go today and ask for it tomorrow, at least 50 taels ah."

After listening to Bai Zhong's words, he knew that this time could be a little less.Without a guide, it is like forgetting to bring your ID card when you go out for a long time, and you will feel a little uneasy.

"What if I want it today?"

"100 taels."

"Okay," Jian nodded, "Then please prepare it for me first. I want to go out this way today. Time... just after noon, I will come to you."

Bai Zhong smiled, "Then I'll send someone to say hello first, little brother, don't forget."

"will not."

He just folded his fists and left, followed the route he came from, and returned to the nine-foot-wide street again.

On the way here, I observed carefully. On both sides of this street, there are all kinds of shops, including "pawn" shops.

He quietly took out a spirit stone from the storage bag.

The magic tools that can be used in the space are too ostentatious, and he is reluctant to part with all kinds of alchemy materials stored in the warehouse. The remaining things are either beyond his understanding and use, such as some spiritual tools.Or it looks ordinary and unobtrusive, such as a storage bag.

Therefore, only this Lingshi, the size of a pigeon's egg, can pass off as a gemstone.And yes, fine gems.

I just walked all the way, inquiring about the basic prices all the way.

Cloth is the most expensive.A whole piece of ordinary cotton cloth is more than ten feet and thirty meters long, and it only costs ten taels of silver, and the retail price is more than 30 yuan a foot.If Gebu is one level worse, it only needs thirty or forty wen.

But if it is silk, satin, gauze brocade and other exquisite fabrics, a roll is only three meters, and the lowest one can open your mouth for a hundred taels.

When it comes to food, vegetable farmers with shoulder poles on the street only sell a basket of vegetables for [-] to [-] yuan, but a dish of cold dishes in restaurants can cost [-] yuan.

Then there are gold and silver jewelry shops, the cheapest silver bracelets can be bought by adding [-] Wen to the weight, while the most expensive jade is the treasure of the town store, but there is no market for it.

So it was just a calculation in my heart.

If he only asks for food and clothing, three or five taels a month is enough.If he wants to be well-off, at least 15 taels a month.

If you want to have a private courtyard like Yunhong Opera Troupe, you need to add up to 50 taels a month for basic necessities.

With the mentality of giving it a try, he went into the pawn shop and slapped the spirit stone on the counter.

After some bargaining, I finally got 200 taels of silver.There is almost no need for bank notes, only cash.

200 taels, he was a little satisfied.In the jewelry shop just now, the gold hairpin inlaid with rubies was only 20 taels each.

With the silver, I found a noodle stall and ate a bowl of clear soup and hand-rolled noodles, then went straight to the place where Bai Zhong lived.

The gate of Bai Zhong's house is very narrow, but there is a hole in the yard.

The yard is big, there are many houses, and there are many children, but these children are all quiet.

Bai Zhong explained with a smile, "They are all collected by the people below. If the little brother's family is in need at any time, they will come to me to buy them. They are all trained and taught."

He just grinned copiously, and changed the topic, "I ask Bai Fang to work hard on the matter of leading the way."

"It's okay, it's okay, just wait here, it will be done."

Holding the exact 100 taels of silver, Bai Zhong turned around and left.

It really is good to have money to do things, but within an hour, Bai Zhong came back with a fresh ink fragrance.The first page of that Luyin said, Jian Zicheng, from Shanyang County, Dingzhou.

Bai Zhong took a sip of tea and explained, "Recently, Dingzhou has the most people coming to the capital, and the wayfinding in this place is easier to handle."

Ji Jian got up, cupped his hands, and took out another 20 taels of silver, "Thank you, Bai Fang."

Bai Zhong didn't refuse, this is what he deserved. "I don't know what the little brother plans to do next? If you want to rent a yard, I still have a lot here."

It took only 120 taels for such a short period of time, and the remaining 80 taels could not rent a good place.Besides, he suffers from headaches, so renting a large secluded yard is asking for trouble?

"No, let me get acquainted in the capital first. Thank you Bai Fang today, and I will take my leave first."

"Okay, little brother, go slowly, go slowly." Bai Zhong sent people off with a smile, and when he almost disappeared, he wailed with heartache, "Just ask me for 1000 taels for a stone, a pawn shop that cheats people, and I will wait for the master to clean you up later." !"

Holding the spirit stone that had just been taken out, Bai Zhong went to Chu Fanxiu to report the situation non-stop.

With money and guides, he found a clean "hotel" facing the street on the street not far from Dongchengmen.

He rented a room on the second floor facing the street for a long time.One hundred Wen a day, only three taels of silver a month.Taking advantage of the hustle and bustle on the street in the afternoon, she threw herself on the bed and fell asleep soundly.

……

As night fell, the merchants on both sides of the street lit up lanterns, and the pedestrians on the street also carried lanterns for a walk. The streets of the capital seemed to be gathering streamers of stars and stars, and they were still very lively.

But there is a place that is quiet and dark.

That is the palace.

In the Dawu Dynasty, black is the most precious.Dawu's palace is also full of thick black.In addition, the national treasury is in a hurry, and the use of the palace has been cut in half, so there are not so many candles to illuminate places that the nobles don't often visit.

There is a place in the palace that is brightly lit.That is the imperial study room where the current emperor Wuxing corrected the memorials.

"Where did Yuan Ya go?"

Ding Fu, the great eunuch standing beside him, quickly replied, "I received the letter today. If we follow the speed, it should be only thirty or fifty miles away from the capital."

"Letter? What letter." Wu Xing stroked his beard after brushing his pen.The candle light shone in his eyes, and the light was shining.

Ding Fu respectfully presented the letter, "It was addressed to Meng Xiao, the eunuch of Yongyou Palace. The slave happened to meet me and asked, so Meng Xiao handed the letter to the slave."

Wu Xing picked up the letter, glanced at ten lines, and suddenly became angry, "What happened to Yuan Ya's assassination?"

Ding Fu kept his mouth shut, not daring to interrupt.

"Check, tell me to go down, let those old guys wait for me tomorrow!"

"Yes." Ding Fu repeatedly agreed, although tomorrow is Xiu Mu.

"Wait a minute!" Wu Xing stood up, "Yanya will arrive tomorrow, how are the preparations in Shangyi Palace going?"

Ding Fu said: "The robes and clothes are already..."

"Wait..." Wu Xing raised his hand suddenly, "Has the matter of Shangyi Palace leaked out?"

Before Ding Fu could answer, Wu Xing snorted, "It should be a warning, do you really think I'm a deaf and blind man?"

……

On the official road, the imperial army was on their way overnight.

Wu Yuanya was half lying in the carriage, holding his pen and lost in thought.

He clearly heard Mr. Jian's voice that day, and sent the imperial army to inquire. If Mr. Jian knew that he was in the posthouse, he would definitely come to him.Mr. Jian is such a kind person, how can he watch him unable to eat?

It's a pity that it's not Mr. Jane.Could it be, is it really too much thinking?

The carriage swayed, and the ink from the brush was thrown onto the letter paper, smearing a large mass.

Wu Yuanya put down his pen and crumpled the letter paper into a ball.

At this moment, his letter instructing Meng Xiao to tidy up the palace must have reached His Majesty.

Mr. Jian's account, his account, and father's account, he will start to settle them one by one.
