Chapter 9
5: 43.

It was almost three quarters.

Different world.

Shaking in the void, Fangzheng, wearing a warm hat, protective treasure clothing inside, and ancient cotton clothes outside, appeared in a dark alley out of thin air.

A few beggars huddled up in the corner of the alley, and when they heard the movement, they opened their eyes in a daze, and saw a figure striding towards the long street outside.

In the early morning of winter, the fog is hazy, and there are still few pedestrians on the street.

Most of the people who come and go are curled up, and they haven't fully recovered from their sleepiness, let alone notice who the people around them are.

"call……"

Fangzheng, who got mixed into the crowd, breathed out lightly, and the water vapor turned into white smoke when it was cold, and it curled up in front of his eyes.

After touching the satchel at his waist, he inquired about the stalls selling porridge and pancakes, and then walked towards the south of the city.

Since he intends to make a fortune in this different world, he naturally cannot be a vagrant. The first task is to lay a foundation here, that is, to have an identity.

With an identity, it is easy to act.

Now Fangzheng is still a refugee, so he has to find someone to take refuge in first.

The Lifang system was implemented in the previous dynasty. The so-called Yingyi established the city and cut the house. The city was surrounded by square walls, and the inside was divided into square Lifang.

Lifang separates the streets and divides them into courtyards for living.

Lifang is surrounded by earth walls, like separate communities, where people live and are not allowed to come out at will.

It is so convenient to manage and separates the rich and the poor.

Some lifangs specialize in commercial activities, which are called Fangshi.

At present, the Lifang system has been overthrown, the high walls have been pulled down, the people are allowed to move around at will, and the business has become more developed, but the former rich area is still there.

Cloth merchant Sun's family,

It belongs to the rich family!

A high family comes from a big family, and a wealthy family looks after the nine families.

After crossing a narrow alley, the courtyard in front has changed significantly. The three-meter-high courtyard wall separates the inside and the outside, and each house occupies a lot of land.

Most of the passers-by are dressed in silk, satin and sable fur, showing their aura of wealth and honor.

"crunch..."

The small door was pushed open, and Lao Liu looked at Fangzheng with a look of surprise:
"Brother Fang, have you... met a nobleman?"

It is true that people rely on clothes.

The clothes on Fangzheng's body were not cheap at first glance, and they were worth a few taels of silver, which made Lao Liu put away his contempt.

Originally, when he heard that someone had taken refuge, he planned to dismiss him casually, but now he has to be cautious.

"No."

Fangzheng cupped his fists and cupped his hands like the others, and said:

"Pawned the watch in my hand and exchanged it for some silver, but there is no place to live yet, so I came here to seek refuge."

"Brother Liu, I hope you can point me in the right direction."

As he spoke, he stuffed a piece of broken silver.

"Don't, don't..." Old Liu made a gesture to stop him a few times, and then he held the silver tightly in his hand, even breathing became a little rough.

Almost two taels of silver!
This is the wages that I can only earn after working in the Sun's family for several months.

"Brother Fang."

After thinking about it, Old Liu said:
"If you want to find a job to support your family, it's not difficult. Buxing has always been short of people, but seeing you like this, I'm afraid you don't want to."

Fangzheng nodded.

He needs to travel back and forth, and it is definitely not possible to work for others.

"We are refugees and have no status unless we are naturalized." Old Liu said:
"Naturalization has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you have an identity and it is convenient to travel. The disadvantage is that you will inevitably have to pay taxes and corvee every year."

"Of course, having money is not a problem."

Fangzheng understood.

Refugees are equivalent to black households. Usually no one cares about them, but once they are found out, there is no guarantee. The advantage is that they don't have to pay taxes.

In fact, black households also have to pay taxes, but they pay less, and belong to local private property, not in the imperial court's list, and local officials turn a blind eye.

Naturalization has many benefits.

You can do business, study, buy and sell land, etc., but taxes and corvees are indispensable, but they can be deducted with money.

"How to naturalize?"

"Master Yu can help."

Mr. Yu is the son-in-law.

The eldest son of the Sun family has no son, only one daughter.

Nowadays, the wealth of the Sun family depends entirely on the strength of the eldest son of the Sun family, so there must be someone in the lineage of the eldest family to carry on the family line, and it is inevitable to recruit a son-in-law.

Yu Yanghong and the daughter of the Sun family were childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts, and later the Yu family fell into decline, so they simply joined the Sun family to help each other.

Although they are married, it is said that the relationship between the two is very good.

"Fangzheng."

Yu Yanghong is about twenty years old, with a dignified appearance and an extraordinary appearance, and he is dressed in fine clothes to add a touch of elegance. No wonder he can get a rich daughter to recruit a husband. Now he is looking back and forth:

"Brother Fang has an extraordinary family background, right?"

Ordinary people in a different world have to work day and night to make a living. Their skin is rough and their hands are calloused. They are incomparable to people with overnutrition in modern society.

Fangzheng's hands are delicate and his skin is smooth, and he can tell at a glance that he is not from a poor family.

"Not really." Fangzheng shook his head:
"It can only be said that there is no need to work hard."

"So..." Yu Yanghong nodded, and then said:
"Naturalization is not difficult. I know Mr. Han from Hufang. It's just adding a name through his hands, but it will cost a certain amount of money."

"How many?"

"15 taels of silver!"

"can."

Fangzheng breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it would cost a lot of money, but he didn't expect it to be so cheap. Maybe he should get familiar with the prices in this world first.

"Master."

While speaking, a woman came from outside the door, followed by two maidservants.

"Why...do you do such a thing again?"

The woman's face is gorgeous, plump and beautiful, and her voice is reproachful and shy:

"If you are short of money, you can just tell me. The mansion can still make you short. There is no need to associate with some dubious people."

Her voice was not loud, no one could hear her clearly except Yu Yanghong.

"lady."

Yu Yanghong got up and held the woman's wrist, and said with a smile:

"This brother Fang is different. He escaped to Gu'an County in a difficult situation. Since he asked for our family, I thought it would be okay to help out."

The woman turned her head sideways, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly.

She doesn't like her husband making friends with outsiders who don't know their background very much. Ordinary people can't easily meet people with their family background.

Only Yu Yanghong was different from the others.

Well……

After examining Fangzheng, seeing that he didn't seem to be born in poverty, Sun Die's expression eased slightly, and he nodded and asked:
"Where is the son from?"

"The family background is dilapidated, and I have no face to face my ancestors." Fangzheng sighed softly, and said politely:

"Now, I just want to be naturalized to have an identity, so that I can have a shelter. If I really have a future, it will not be too late to mention my family."

"So that's how it is." Sun Die glanced at Yu Yanghong, thinking that this person was in the same situation as his husband, and felt closer to him:
"Sir, do you want to be naturalized?"

"Yes." Fangzheng said:

"In addition to naturalization, I also want to find a place to live. I wonder if the two of you can introduce one or two. The price...isn't a problem."

Sun Die's eyes lit up.

She likes such bold guests.

"It's a coincidence."

"Our Sun family has just vacated a small courtyard in the east of the city. If the young master is willing to buy it, I can sell it for 17 taels of silver. If you rent it, it will be [-] taels of silver a year."

Pawn sale?

To sell or to pawn?

Fangzheng was stunned, momentarily at a loss.

Sun Die thought that he had other worries, so he immediately smiled and said: "This matter can be handled by professionals, so don't worry, my lord."

"Yes."

Fangzheng came back to his senses, cupped his fists and cupped his hands:
"Thank you, I'll rent it for two years first."

"Yes." Sun Die was slightly surprised, and then said in a voice:
"Wu nursing home!"

As soon as the voice fell, a man walked out of the door. He was tall and big, carrying a long knife. He was the 'Big Brother Ang' who walked with Fangzheng and Lao Liu a few days ago.

"You accompany this..."

"Fangzheng."

"You accompany Mr. Fang for a walk."

"Yes."

'Big Brother Angkor' clasped his fists should be.
