Wu Bei asked: "What will happen to these teenagers if they are caught?"
The waiter said: "Lock them to a shelter outside the city for a period of time. When they get older, we will provide them with some jobs."
Wu Bei was a little surprised: "Oh, and provide them with jobs?"
Waiter: "There are a large number of charity halls and charity halls outside the city. They were built by the uncles with money to help these poor people. But some people cannot be changed. They are unwilling to endure hardships and contribute, and always sneak in.
After all, there are many rich people in the city. If you meet a kind-hearted person, you can make a lot of money. Last time I saw a lady throwing hundreds of cents to a beggar at the door. One hundred cents,
It’s enough to feed and drink families outside the city for two months.”
Wu Bei: "Are these officials from the city lord?"
"Jiangnan City was originally an unowned land, but gradually there were more and more people. After it developed, some local wealthy people joined forces to establish a general government office in Jiangnan City, with various agencies under it. There are tax collectors.
, those who manage public security, those who resolve cases, and those who build cities are all responsible for different people."
"Who controls the taxes collected?" he asked.
The waiter smiled and said, "I don't know about this slave."
After dinner, Wu Bei also asked a lot about the situation in Jiangnan City. He knew where the rich areas were, where the core areas were that even the rich could not buy, and who was the most powerful in the city, etc.
After dinner, Wu Bei continued to ride the carriage and travel around the city. When the sun was about to set, the carriage stopped in front of a six-story building.
This is the most prosperous area in Jiangnan City. Housing prices are very high. A single-family house with a single courtyard costs one or two hundred million cents. Shops are even more expensive. Shops generally have large yards and cover a wide area, and the prices are basically the same.
It takes one billion cents to start.
The reason why Wu Bei stopped was because he saw the "Prosperous Shop For Sale" sign posted outside the store, and the original owner had gone out of business.
Wu Bei got off the carriage and walked up to knock on the door.
There was a middle-aged man inside. He asked Wu Bei what was going on. Wu Bei said he wanted to buy this.
The shop inside.
The boss suddenly became energetic and said: "Sir, our shop is in a very good location and the price is 2.7 billion cents."
Wu Bei: "Twenty-seven billion? This is too expensive."
The boss smiled and said: "Sir, please come with me."
He took Wu Bei to the back of the shop. Behind the shop was a garden, and through the garden was a relatively quiet courtyard with several houses. Then passing through the house was another garden. On both sides of the garden, there were some side houses.
It looks like a warehouse or something. Then there is a door. When you open the door, you will see another street opposite. It is very spacious and the location is quite good.
Seeing this, Wu Bei understood that if he built a few floors here, he could have a second shop, so 2.7 billion was not expensive.
Boss: "Sir, although this is a shop, the courtyard in the middle is quite large and there are many houses, which can accommodate hundreds of families. There is a warehouse in the back. If we build a few more floors, it will be a second shop."
Wu Bei nodded and said, "Boss, the location is good, but I don't need a second store. How about lowering the price to 2.4 billion?"
The two discussed it and finally set the price at 2.55 billion cents.
Back at the shop, the two signed the purchase document, and Wu Bei got the land deed and house deed, which had the Yamen's seal on them and could not be faked.
After paying the money and taking the keys, the boss said goodbye.
The carriage was driven to the backyard. Guan Ying was a little puzzled. She asked: "Sir, why did you buy this shop?"
Wu Bei: "My family is going to live here, and I want to arrange some business for them. This shop will be changed into an elixir shop in the future."
He would open an elixir shop here.
I don’t expect to make much money. The reason behind this is that the status of an alchemist is very high. As a family member of an alchemist, anyone who wants to take advantage of his family will consider whether he can offend a skilled alchemist.
The reason why Wu Bei is so anxious to buy a paved house is because his incarnation has already taken care of the affairs of the Cathay Universe and is now preparing to bring the first batch of his closest relatives and confidants to live in the Taiyi Immortal World.
After buying the shop, Wu Bei continued to refine elixirs for use by his family. By the way, he also refined some other elixirs to prepare for the opening of the elixir shop.
The next day he left Jiangnan City and walked out of Qingling Cave, because the incarnation had just brought his family to a wilderness, and he wanted to go and greet them.
In a wilderness in the ordinary area of Taiyi Immortal Realm, Wu Bei's incarnation appeared in the wilderness with a family of children and a total of hundreds of people.
As soon as their people entered this world, their bodies became blurred. Fortunately, Wu Bei used his magical power to protect everyone.
At the same time, he had already distributed elixirs to everyone, and everyone took the elixirs separately.
The elixir entered the abdomen, forming a powerful force that counteracted the external pressure, and everyone's bodies immediately returned to normal.
Tang Ziyi glanced around and said, "Master, this is a wilderness, where are we going now?"
After saying that, Wu Bei's incarnation disappeared, and the real Wu Bei fell in front of everyone. He smiled and said: "Ziyi, this is an ordinary area. I will take you to Qingling Cave. The environment there is much better than here."
.??.
There were hundreds of people here, which attracted the attention of several passing monks. Four monks fell from the sky and landed not far away. The leader was a middle-aged man with a goatee.
Seeing Wu Bei and his family, old and young, he knew that someone was moving. Goatee said to a man in yellow next to him: "Did you see that? This family should be fleeing. Generally speaking, fleeing
people often
They will bring bad property with them, let’s go find out their details.”
The man in yellow smiled and said, "Dad, let's go and have a look!"
Several people walked straight over, and Goatee asked: "What's going on? What are you doing with all these people gathering here?"
Wu Bei had noticed a few people a long time ago, but ignored them. When he saw them coming, he said, "We were passing by here, are you okay?"
Goatee said: "Friend, there are bandits around here. We are escorts. I wonder if you need our protection. The price can be cheaper."
Of course Wu Bei didn't believe what he said. He was a dart boy. The other party was obviously testing him.
He said calmly: "We don't need it, so I won't bother you."
The young man in yellow glared, ready to trick Wu Bei, and said, "Then be careful, I just encountered a group of robbers, and they are coming this way."
Wu Bei's expression remained unchanged and he said: "Thank you for reminding me, we will leave soon."
Strong monks will not be afraid of robbers. After all, who with high cultivation level will be a robber? So the man in yellow thought he was right and made a judgment. The people on Wu Bei's side were limited in strength. He immediately sneered.
, said: "Friends, are you on the run? Did you offend someone and end up in such a barren mountain? Tell me, maybe I can help you."
Seeing that these people were ignorant and interrogated endlessly, Wu Bei became impatient and said coldly: "It has nothing to do with you, please leave."
The young man in yellow's face darkened and he said, "How dare you talk to Young Master like this? Do you know who I am?"
As he spoke, he walked closer, staring at Wu Bei coldly with a condescending look.
"Snapped!"
Wu Bei slapped him in the face, smashing half of the head of the man in yellow. The body flipped several times in the air and then fell to the ground with a "plop".
