Chapter 1833 Night Visit
There are many people who hope to catch the new emperor and make a fortune.

If the emperor uses his power a little bit, he can ensure that his subordinates have enough food and drink.

For example, if only some of the industrial and palace consumption indicators were delegated to Sang Hongyang, Sang Hongyang would be able to go to Luoyang City and pull hundreds of horse-drawn carts of goods.

Sang Hongyang once mentioned that Chang'an City needed to slaughter nearly 20,000 pigs every day, and the number of people's livelihood needs was astronomical.

There are huge wealth opportunities in every industry, and many problems can be solved by simply inserting yourself at the right time.

Xu Ji narrated in a low voice the relevant industries involving people's livelihood, and asked Zhang Xuezhou, who was in the court in Chang'an City, to see if he could find an opportunity to solve the problem once and for all.

"His Majesty……"

Zhang Xuezhou pondered for a moment.

Ever since he came into contact with the imperial court in Chang'an City, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the royal family was either caught up in foreign wars, or involved in internal conflicts, or involved in court struggles, and there were not many projects involving people's livelihood.

But what Xu Ji said made sense. As long as one grasps the information trends of the top leaders, any layout will bring countless benefits.

This was something he had personally experienced in Xijing City, and it could also be applied to the Han Dynasty.

Emperor, monks, and the imperial court, these three concepts mean a world of difference to ordinary people. It is also a world that is difficult for ordinary people to access, and they can only passively endure the changes at the top.

What Zhang Xuezhou needs to do right now is to build that bridge.

If he could lead the people of Zhangjiazhuang to take two steps ahead, things would be able to achieve the goal smoothly.

"I heard that some people in your village have not come here yet. When they come here in the future, there will be more demand," Xu Ji warned, "and agriculture has no future. In every dynasty, the people who live the worst are those who farm."

"We can be medicinal farmers," Xu Yuan retorted unwillingly.

"How can you become a herbalist just by saying so?" Xu Ji said, "The harvest period of medicinal materials is long, and making and selling medicine is not something that can be done by just talking. Even if Lord Dongfang has the alchemy skills, who would come to buy pills from him? And we can grow those herbs for Lord Dongfang to make pills, but which of the real good herbs are grown?"

Young Xu Yuan always believed that as long as he could hold on, he would be able to see spring and flowers bloom, and he could lead hundreds of people on the road to prosperity and well-being.

But he found that his own abilities were not enough to realize this wish, even if he added Zhang Xuezhou's abilities.

"But it's too unreliable to pin your hopes on others," Xu Yuan muttered.

"We can take a multi-pronged approach," Zhang Xuezhou reassured him, "We can plant the land, do business, and seek the court's direction!"

"Will this work?" Xu Yuan hesitated, "These things are very distracting, I'm afraid they will have trouble adapting!"

"I don't have to worry about this for the past six months. I've made some money, I can eat and eat meat, and I have plenty of opportunities to try new things!"

Zhang Xuezhou pointed in the direction of Chang'an City, indicating that he still had some stock in Chang'an City.

The King of Jiangdu's daughter is life-saving money, which can allow more than a hundred people to live a comfortable life in a high-consumption place like Chang'an City for a long time.

If he was qualified to buy real estate in Chang'an City, this money would be enough to buy dozens of ordinary houses to accommodate people.

"Where's the second bow?"

"After dealing with the horses, he entered Chang'an City to seek a way out, and he hasn't come back since!"

"It seems that he had a hard time getting away and got into some trouble!"

Zhang Cigong is not someone who is difficult to share hardships with, and Zhang Cigong's father is still here, so the other party will not be so heartless as to forget his father.

Zhang Xuezhou thought about the Huainan Palace in Chang'an City, and felt that Zhang Cigong might not be able to leave the palace for a while.

This was also something that Zhang Xuezhou needed to investigate. Zhang Xuezhou nodded, indicating that he would remember it.

It was not until now that he had basically sorted out the many things he would have to face in Chang'an City.

These things are undoubtedly extremely messy, but they are things that Zhang Xuezhou must do.

He asked everyone to go outside Chang'an City to carry food and meat tomorrow to solve the urgent problem first. "I will go back to Chang'an City to make some arrangements first, and we will meet tomorrow morning!"

Zhang Xuezhou arranged everything and then whispered with Zhang Zhong for a while.

Upon learning that Rong family had also escaped, Zhang Zhong was overjoyed, and his old face even became a little more rosy.

After Zhang Xuezhou finished giving him the instructions, he quickly stood up and said goodbye.

"Since you have stored food, I will put a few more spoonfuls of millet in the rice when I cook!"

When the aid arrived, Xu Yuan interrupted his winter food storage plan and began to add a lot of millet to the wild vegetables for cooking, which made many people's eyes light up.

Amid the wisps of green smoke from the flames of the cooking pot, Zhang Xuezhou walked out several dozen meters and then leaped forward.

It was not convenient for him to fly when he came here, so he would undoubtedly use relevant magic to enter Chang'an City when he returns.

After communicating with the Grand Historian Sima Tan, Zhang Xuezhou knew very well that as long as he didn't go towards the imperial city, the risk of his flying spell would not be high.

The golden wings streaked across the night sky, then transformed into the Tengyun Technique and descended rapidly.

In the Zhang family's mansion in Chang'an City, the lights were brightly lit and the aroma of meat wafted into the night sky.

Rong Tianding and others not only bought two pigs, but also boiled and roughly processed the pork. This not only prevents the production of odor, but also allows it to be eaten after a little processing tomorrow.

Strips of cooked pork were hung on poles, and people kept making fires and processing things, doing what they could.

It wasn't until Zhang Xuezhou pushed open the door and stepped in that everyone quickly poked their heads out.

"Cousin, how is it over there?" Rong Tianding asked anxiously.

"With Xu Ji and Xu Yuan, no one starved to death," Zhang Xuezhou said, "but life was not easy for everyone. Every day we ate wild grass and vegetables, and some grilled fish. If we were lucky, we could catch some wild animals and have a piece of meat!"

“The grilled fish is too fishy!”

Rong Tianding said.

He ate a lot of fish when he was following Zhang Xuezhou.

If he wasn't really short of food, Rong Tianding felt that he would never eat fish.

Although fish is meat, if you eat it for a few meals in a row, the earthy smell of fish will make you feel nauseous, and you may vomit when you smell the fishy taste.

The people in Zhangjiazhuang have been living like this for more than three months, and they can't even get enough fish and meat.

Rong Tianding felt sad when he heard this. Zhang Changgong beside him clenched his fists. Rong Shi was in tears, and she only hated herself for being incompetent and having no way to spend her money.

"Brother Zhou, how are we going to live from now on?" Zhang Changgong asked in a low voice.

Zhang Changgong was not afraid of hardship, but he found it difficult to adapt to the city of Chang'an.

It was difficult for them to communicate clearly with others with their rustic northern accent, and they lacked "etiquette" and could not enter Chang'an once they left the city.

Without a valid identity, they can only be illegal residents, and this situation makes it almost impossible for Zhang Changgong to think of any way to make a living.

This is the case with Zhang Changgong, so he can think of others as well.

"There's no rush for this. Xu Yuan and I have discussed this before. The only way to make a living is to..."

Zhang Xuezhou was about to tell everyone the results of the discussion outside the city when he frowned slightly and quickly looked towards the gate.

In just a few seconds, the familiar knock on the door was heard.

On the first day Zhang Xuezhou returned to Chang'an City, the first person to visit him was Wei Shaoer.
