The road to immortality for a hundred generations

Chapter 71

"I'm telling you, Feng'er, I've been asking around all day today. Now, in the nursing homes of wealthy families, the monthly salary of second-rate warriors is at least 45 taels, and there are several that have 50 taels."

"It's like an escort agency. That's even more exaggerated. The fixed monthly payment alone is 50 taels! This doesn't include the money for escorts. Can you believe it?!"

Uncle An said with excitement on his face, "I have already calculated it on the way. Even if it is 50 taels per month, the two of us will have 600 taels in a year. Including what we saved in the county, I estimate that In two or three years, I will be able to save enough money for you, Feng'er, to hit the top ranks."

Uncle An didn't count the daily expenses. After all, Yun Niang's embroidery skills were considered to be excellent, which was enough for their daily expenses.

Especially in a prosperous city like the Imperial City, as long as the craftsmanship is good enough, there is no need to worry about selling.

"Uncle An, I'll go out tomorrow and ask around."

Wang Feng said.

He has some plans in mind,
"That's okay. In the past two days, I found that the imperial city is not as chaotic as I imagined. There are just a few more officers and soldiers. It has no impact on us." Uncle An replied after recalling the experience of the past two days. .

"Uncle An, have you found out what happened?"

Wang Feng asked casually.

Although he clearly knew the whole story, he wanted to know what the current situation was like in the eyes of ordinary people.

"of course,"

Uncle An suddenly looked around nervously. After finding nothing unusual, he whispered mysteriously, "There are currently two theories. One is that the major forces in the Imperial City have formed an alliance to collude with the devil. Sect, intending to secretly carve up the Xingyue Palace, and then use the resources of the Xingyue Palace and the help of the Demonic Cult to overthrow the rule of the Wei royal family."

"Is that so?"

Wang Feng nodded clearly.

Although this statement seems very false, but now that all the high-end forces in the imperial city have been wiped out, and ordinary people cannot make a difference, it is enough to give the public a similar statement to explain away the situation.

And based on the fact that those people had just died, and their various shops were taken over by the government the next day, no matter how you thought about it, you knew that this demon cultivator must have an affair with the royal family.

In other words, unless Xingyue Palace and the demon cultivator run away, this shit basin will inevitably be held on those who have died.

"What's the second statement?"

Wang Feng asked curiously.

"This second statement is a bit taboo."

Uncle An's voice became even lower.

"It is said that Xingyue Palace and the royal family have joined forces this time to trap and kill those powerful people under the guise of a grand master's banquet."

"In the second theory, some people say that Xingyue Palace did it alone and benefited the royal family afterwards, so the royal family wiped its behind."

"Anyway, whether it is Xingyue Palace and the royal family joining forces, or Xingyue Palace alone doing it on its own, in my opinion, this is more reliable than the first theory."

Uncle An spoke eloquently and expressed his own opinions.

"Is that so?"

Wang Feng nodded, "Then the second statement is indeed more reasonable."

Not only is it reasonable, this is a direct guess of the correct answer.

But, so what if you guessed it?No one dares to make any claims without evidence.

Otherwise, he would be arrested by the government and labeled as a remnant of the demon sect, and he would probably die.

"Eh? Feng'er, aren't you curious how I found out?"

Seeing that Wang Feng didn't ask any questions, Uncle An suddenly couldn't bear it any longer.

"Could it be that Uncle An has an old friend in the imperial city?"

After hearing what Uncle An said, Wang Feng became a little curious. "No, no, actually I heard all these news,"

Uncle An, who was sitting in the chair, leaned back suddenly on the chair behind him and placed his right hand on the stone table, tapping it repeatedly.

"Now the first-rate powerful people in the imperial city are almost extinct, leaving only the second- and third-rate warriors. However, they can only lower their voices when talking, but they cannot use their true energy to transmit their voices."

"You don't know that when I was wandering around in the world, I was nicknamed Qianlier. At that time, my strength was only third-rate, but my ear power was far better than that of a second-rate warrior, and only a little worse than a first-rate strong one."

"And now, you, Uncle An, and I have become second-rate masters, and my ears are naturally better. They claim to communicate in whispers, but in fact they cannot escape my ears."

"How is it, Feng'er, you didn't expect it, did you?"

Uncle An turned his head and looked at Wang Feng with a proud expression.

"Yeah, indeed, indeed."

Wang Feng really didn't expect that the news would come from such an inquiry.

Although Xiantian warriors use Zhenqi to transmit sounds more meticulously, top-notch internal masters can also use it roughly.

When discussing some more secretive matters, they will simply cover it up.

"Okay, okay, stop chatting, the food is ready, let's absorb it quickly."

In the kitchen, Yun Niang, who was busy, shouted to them.

"okay!"

In the early morning of the next day, it was already bright, so Wang Feng said hello to Yun Niang and Qiu He and went out.

When he went out today, he planned to play a cool trick.

After finding a place in the trading area, Wang Feng rented a small, relatively remote courtyard from him near the outer city.

Although houses in the Imperial City are very expensive, the main thing that is expensive is the land, and the houses are just added value.

Especially in ancient times, houses and land did not have a property right period. That is to say, as long as there is a title deed, the house can be passed down from generation to generation if nothing happens.

In this case, buying a house is expensive, but renting is cheap.

Just like the small courtyard Wang Feng was looking at right now.

Although the location is more remote than the yard rented to them by Yanyun Escort Bureau, it is larger. Wang Feng asked that the price of the house can reach 530 taels.

But if it's just renting, a three-year contract only costs ten taels of silver.

Converted, the annual rent is 150/[-]/[-] of the price of the house itself!

You must know that the house is modern, and the annual rent of the house can reach one-fiftieth of the house value!
This price is enough to prove that renting a house in the Imperial City of Wei is much more cost-effective than buying a house.

Although for Wang Feng, these 530 taels of silver were not much, he did not want to bother or waste it.

When the time comes to buy and sell, or just leave it alone, it would be better to rent directly.

After buying the yard, Wang Feng hired several servants to clean the yard inside and out.

The cost is too low.

Fifty cents per person, only 150 cents were spent.

"It's a pity that the chief escort of Yanyun Escort didn't give me the banknote in advance, and all my money was advanced to the Bai family to buy Ziyang Pill. Now I'm a little short of money."

Looking at the mere hundreds of miles of banknotes in his hand, Wang Feng sighed.

It's time to find a way to make money.
