Chapter 10 Future planning, poverty is a disease!

……

For Xu Yan, the biggest difficulty in practice has never been the difficulty of the exercises, nor the resources required for practice, but the entry into the practice of exercises.

As long as you get started with the exercises, you just need to work hard for the rest.

After half an hour.

Xu Yan rubbed his head with some headaches, and then opened the experience panel, only to see:
[Thousands of True Self and Spiritual Concept Lv1 (35/100)]

In just one hour, he had cultivated the first visualization diagram of the idea to the level of Xiaocheng, and he was able to visualize without the help of animal skin rolls.

If this matter gets out, it will definitely cause shocks in the world.

However, Xu Yan was very dissatisfied with this progress, and felt that he had somewhat underestimated the difficulty of cultivating the concept of mind and soul.

Because he found himself ignoring one thing.

That is, the idea of ​​cultivating the concept needs to consume mental power.

After practicing for half an hour, he was already mentally exhausted and his brain ached.

If you really want to continue to practice regardless, you may overuse your brain, make yourself into a neurasthenia, or even die suddenly due to overuse of your brain.

"Sure enough, in this world, there is only one disease, and that is the disease of poverty!"

Xu Yan put away the animal skin roll and sighed faintly.

Martial arts practice, because he was too poor, he couldn't afford the elixir, natural materials and earth treasures to replenish qi and blood, so even with the help of golden fingers, his progress was slow. It took more than three months of practice to reach the realm of visceral martial artist.

Now I have finally come up with an idea of ​​​​the concept of the soul.

In the end, it was still too poor to afford resources and treasures such as Ningshen Incense for spiritual cultivation, and could not fully cultivate liver experience.

Damn, it's too miserable!
"It's time to find a way to make money."

Xu Yan rubbed his forehead with some headaches, worried about his poor illness.

Don't look at his predecessor as the son of Dingyuanhoufu, but he really doesn't have much money.

After all, Dingyuanhou's mansion is rich, and Dingyuanhou's money is also available. The Hou's family has a great career. The old man has seven or eight sons alone, and there are more than twenty or thirty grandchildren.

The former Sanfang was born in Dingyuanhou's Mansion. Firstly, he has no title inheritance, secondly, he is not loved and valued by the old man, and thirdly, he has no shops and shops, and the farmland produces output.

Some are just the monthly money specified by the Hou Mansion, which is less than 100 taels a month.

No wonder he is rich.

If he was really rich, his predecessor would not have risked his life to have fun outside the city of God.

I really thought he was tired of delicacies from mountains and seas, and wanted to try wild game?

To put it bluntly, the entertainment venues in Shendu are too expensive to afford, so they can only go to the Acropolis surrounding Shendu for leisurely entertainment.

This is just like in the previous life, many migrant workers earned money in first-tier cities and spent money in third-tier cities.

It's all out of money.

Even, why did Xu Yan choose to join the Habayashi guards after time travel, and become a member of the Habayashi guards?

It's not that he wants to join the Daqian imperial court and serve the imperial court, and he doesn't understand the principle of low-key development.

But he has no money.

After spending all the savings from her previous life, and even having no money for eating and practicing martial arts, and being embarrassed to ask for money from the cheap parents in this life, she can only find a job to earn money to support herself.

Joining the Imperial Palace Habayashi Guard, on the one hand, is because the money is more and the work is less, and it is close to home. On the other hand, because the Habayashi guard provides food and lodging, and can eat freely, and occasionally provides medicinal meals, the treatment is super good.

After all, no matter how much the officials in the Daqian court withdrew their food and salaries, they would not dare to withhold the food and salaries of the imperial guards.

Moreover, the Dagan Imperial Palace is still the safest place in the world. Habayashi Wei's job is to watch the gate. Generally, he will not be involved in inner court battles, and the security is relatively high.

Therefore, after a comprehensive consideration, Xu Yan did not refuse the arrangement of his cheap father Xu Jing, and joined the Habayashi Guard, becoming a grassroots officer.

Originally, Xu Yan wanted to spend two years in the Imperial Palace's Habayashi guards, and then leave the mountain after becoming a martial saint or a human immortal, and then switch to Taoism and embark on the road of seeking immortality.

Who would have thought that a change is worse than a plan, and just over a month after entering the job, he encountered this kind of thing, obtained a concept of spirit and soul in advance, and was promoted to be the captain of the sixth rank of the imperial court.

Xu Yan couldn't help but start thinking about it.

He was thinking about how to make good use of his advantages to make money and meet his spiritual needs.

In other words, after seeing many rare treasures in the palace treasure house, Xu Yan was no longer satisfied with his low wages, and wanted to work hard and create brilliance.

"It's just... Although this Yuqiansi has a great prospect, as long as he works for two or three years, he can be transferred to other yamen in the court and be awarded a real position, but the work of the Yuqiansi is no different from that of Habayashiwei. There is no money to be made for the job of guarding the gate!"

"And because the main duty of the imperial court is to guard the palace and protect the emperor, he works under the eyes of the emperor."

"So once you join the imperial court, let alone making money, I'm afraid it's even hard to be lazy. Is this really a good thing?"

Xu Yan frowned, always felt that it was not a good thing to join the imperial court.

Although the official position has been promoted, the salary has also increased, and even a broader platform can be obtained.

However, after becoming the captain of Yuqiansi, he is even more unfree, and it will be much more difficult to be lazy and fish.

This is obviously not a good thing for Xu Yan.

In fact, what Xu Yan wanted most was to be transferred outside, to be a local official, magistrate or something like that.

the reason is simple.

Haven't heard of "Three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflake silver".

If you want to make money, relying on guarding the emperor's gate will definitely not work, and you have to be transferred outside.

compared to this.

What farming, doing business, doing business, etc.

In this ancient feudal society, everything is weak, okay?

As for distilling wine, refined salt and white sugar, glass glaze, etc., then there is no need to think about it.

Because this world is not an ordinary historical world, but a world where Taoism manifests itself.

Even with such black technology as the Azure Dragon Armor, there will still be a lack of distilled wine, glass glaze and other items?
So if you want to really make money, you have to be an official.

The best thing is to go to the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials and other yamen to work in the yamen. With a little work and writing a note, you can exchange a lot of money.

It's a pity that he came from the Xungui Group, so he can only go on the road of a military officer, such as the prefect of the county, the yamen of the official department, and the yamen of the household department, so don't think about it.

"Then what is the military officer's means of making money?"

"Greedy ink and food, drank the blood of soldiers, resold military equipment and food, raised the self-respect of bandits, and cheated the court funds..."

Xu Yan thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of any safe way for generals to make money.

This is not only because compared with civil servants, military generals have too few ways to make money, but the most important thing is that these methods of making money are too rough and risky, and if they are not careful, they will stumble and fall to pieces.

Think about the money-making channels of the people in the Shendu Xungui Group, basically relying on farms, shops and the like to support a large family.

Xu Yan knew why they were suppressed by the civil society.

Three words, no money!
Of course, this may also be the reason why the emperors of the past dynasties deliberately restricted it. After all, the Xungui Group already had soldiers in their hands. If they were allowed to have more money, it would be no wonder that the emperor could sleep peacefully.

"So, if you don't follow the general route, how can you make money and obtain cultivation resources?"

After Xu Yan pondered for a moment, he couldn't help but look at a special yamen of the Dagan court.
