Chapter 782 Complicated

  Annan County, the east of the city is a mountain, the west of the city is a lake, the north of the city is a thoroughfare, and the south of the city is a thoroughfare... um, a trail.

  Xu Guangling and the others came from the south.

   Under Xu Guangling's signal, they walked from the south to the east again, and then entered the city at the main gate on the east.

   After entering the city, I still look for a place to live.

   Not to mention, Xu Tonghui and Tian Hao carrying such a large package made people look like outsiders, and they were newcomers. ——Such a person is better to bully.

  If they still look like this at night, something will happen.

   Of course, it is also possible that the security of Annan County is very good, but one thing can be less.

   They still found an inn for the time being. The grade was not high, but it was also a suite. After a short rest, they entered the city again.

  This city is completely unfamiliar to them, not only Tian Hao is inexperienced, but Xu Tonghui is also inexperienced.

Xu Guangling didn't care. People are like this. In fact, as long as they stay in this city for one night, even if they don't do anything and don't gain any experience points, they won't be like this the next day. .

   Being a stranger in a foreign land.

   One day is different, two days are new, and three days are half old and not new, and psychologically, you will regard yourself as half a local.

   They stayed at the inn for several days.

   On the first and second days, I almost walked around the entire city, and figured out the overall orientation and layout of the city.

   On the third day, find a place to live.

  Buy is unaffordable.

  In the previous life, during the Tang Dynasty, there was a saying in the anecdote about Bai Juyi that "it is difficult to live in the capital". In most places where people live together, land is always a limited amount of rarity.

  In the 21st century, high-rise buildings have appeared, which has expanded the unit volume of the land several times, even dozens or hundreds of times. Here, the highest building is only four stories, which is the county government.

  Other normal, that is, a building with one to two floors.

  Xu Guangling and the others found a small courtyard in the outer city of Annan County, which is almost the outermost part of the city, and rented it temporarily for half a year, that is, five months.

  Twelve taels of silver in January.

   This is sixty-two, nothing less.

   Not only that, but also paid a sum of money to the intermediary, 51%, which is 12 taels of silver.

  If they want to renew the lease in the future, they must go to the agency to go through the renewal procedures. At that time, it will also be 51%! Renew the lease for five months, 12 taels, and renew the lease for ten months, 24 taels.

   Even if you only renew the lease for one month, you will have to pay another 2 taels of silver plus 400 yuan to the intermediary.

   This is naturally too dark, but this is also the ecology of the rivers and lakes here.

   And the industry of intermediaries in the city mostly belongs to which force or forces in the city, and the county governor will have a share. ——Seriously, this is actually a "census" with a crude method but an excellent effect.

   Moved into the small courtyard, and the next thing was to store things.

  Long-term living, many aspects are naturally impossible and must have, even if the configuration is low, it is still necessary.

   Even if Xu Tonghui saves again and again, he starts to care about it, and they still spend almost thirty taels of silver.

   The 200 taels brought from the family, so far, 100 taels have fallen out and only about 80 taels are left. And in the future, here, every day food, drink and spending will require money!

  Xu Tonghui was so worried that he was about to pull his hair, and he didn't know if his black hair would turn white. Ordinarily, he was about the same age as Xu Guangling's father in this life. ——Of course he is not a teenager anymore, but in the opinion of the people here, um, he is still very young!

   In the ancient past, Du Fu had "seventy years old in his life", but here, in the concept of many people, most of them are "forty or fifty still young".

   "Uncle Xu, go out tomorrow to find out if you need to go through any formalities to go hunting in Dongshan." After dinner that day, Xu Guangling said to Xu Tonghui.

   "Dongshan, hunting?" Xu Tonghui was taken aback.

   "That's right, aren't you worried that the silver taels are about to run out, we have to find some way to make a living." Xu Guangling said with a smile, "Uncle Xu, you have a good connection anyway. Go hunting, no problem, right?"

   This is the first time Tian Hao has known the level of this Lord Xu.

  Tongmai, this is indeed a big man!

   "No problem, no problem at all!" Xu Tonghui patted his chest loudly.

   But, we have to put things away again!

   Xu Tonghui lamented in his heart, and when he went to the city the next day for a walk, he lamented even more when he came back.

   "Young master, you do need formalities to go hunting in Dongshan here, and you have to go to the county governor's office to do it. I have already inquired clearly. There are three mountain ranges open for hunting, namely Dongyi Mountain, Dong Er Mountain, and Dongsan Mountain."

   "There are inspection camps in the three mountains, which are controlled by the county governor and the major families in the city. It is said that there are other forces."

   "Master, the situation is very complicated, should we..."

   He meant to cancel the plan.

   Hearing that there are inspection camps composed of major forces, Xu Tonghui hasn't done anything yet, as if he has committed something, he is frightened.

   He couldn't help but be frightened. In a place like this, if you don't make it right, you will be blackmailed, and there are still many forces there. It's too messy, too complicated, and too dangerous!

"It's okay, we are serious and honest hunting, and we don't do anything fancy, we don't need to think too much." Xu Guangling said, "By the way, Uncle Xu, go out and find out if hunters can also dig. Herbs?"

   The herbal industry here is extremely developed!

   Even in Qingshui City, the county governor’s mansion and the three major families have their own stores.

   Xu Tonghui came back with news that was neither good nor bad.

   Ordinary hunters really can’t dig herbs at will!

   Hunters must obtain a "hunting license" for hunting. This hunting license can only bring out the prey from Dongshan, and the prey must be inspected by the patrol camp.

  If you want to dig herbs, you need to apply for a "pharmacist certificate".

   The situation is indeed a bit complicated, and it is estimated that it is impossible to do a real casual cultivation.

   Xu Guangling felt something vaguely from the supervision of hunting and digging herbs. ——Even this kind of corners and corners are supervised like this. What really involves cultivators, such as the secrets of cultivation techniques, or spiritual materials, etc., I am afraid that it is not something that loose cultivators can spy on at will. .

   "Okay, we don't care about the pharmacist's certificate. We will go to Dongshan tomorrow, and we will just go hunting." Xu Guangling said, "Old Tian, ​​get ready, you also go."

   "Yes, young master!" Tian Hao was stunned for a moment, then said without the slightest hesitation.

   Xu Tonghui was surprised when he heard this, "Master, are you going too?"

   "Yes." Xu Guangling nodded slightly.

   "No, it's too dangerous, young master, you can't go! It's okay for me and Tian Hao to go!" Xu Tonghui objected very clearly.

   "Where I am, there is no danger." Xu Guangling said lightly.

  Xu Tonghui was stunned for a moment, looked into Xu Guangling's eyes, and then nodded, "Okay! Young master, you can go, but you must be careful!"

   Tian Hao watched the interaction between the two strangely.

   He did not understand.

   It should be said that he did not understand everything about the young master, from the first day he followed.

   After following the young master for almost a month, Tian Hao not only failed to understand anything, but became more and more incomprehensible. Just like at this moment, why did the young master just say something very strange and Master Xu completely changed his opinion?

   This makes no sense!

   "Where I am, there is no danger."

   When he slept at night, Tian Hao was still circling this sentence in his mind.
