Chapter 1775 Heading to Chang'an
"My whole plan is like this..."
After three consecutive banquets, Zhang Xuezhou listened to Rong Tianding's little plan.
His cousin is obviously not a stickler for rules. After getting a customs clearance certificate from Chang'an City, Rong Tianding's journey was smooth, and there was no reason why he was unable to pass due to lack of "sections" or other things. .
He even estimated that Zhang Xuezhou might return to Chengdu after going north, so he hunkered down.
Of course, if Zhang Xuezhou was slower, he would have left a message for Zhang Xuezhou. After all, the pig-killing business they had engaged in was not a small matter, and Zhang Xuezhou could know their whereabouts by just asking a few neighbors.
"The plan is very good." Zhang Xuezhou nodded and said: "Don't be stressed. I got a reward of 100,000 gold from Jiangdu, and I have sent it there with the Jiangdu King's team. It should be enough for the people of Zhangjiazhuang to eat and drink for half a year. ”
“One hundred thousand gold?”
After hearing the number, Rong Tianding began to doubt his life. After counting the numbers for a while, he finally realized that selling the Rong family short was not enough. Reward money.
After two generations of accumulated wealth, the Rong family only had more than 20 pieces of money in total.
Houses in small places are not as valuable as those in Chang'an City. Even if the Rong family's construction is quite high-end, they cannot be sold at a high price, and there are even few people who can take over it.
"So we are not that tight" Rong Tianding said with a sigh of relief.
"Relocating the family is a big deal. Is my cousin optimistic about the development of Chang'an City?" Zhang Xuezhou asked with a smile.
“Chang’an City has many more opportunities than Chengdu.” Rong Tianding whispered: “Look at us from my grandfather’s generation to my mother. In the past sixty or seventy years, we can only get We spent 20 guan of money, but we resold two months of grain in the West Market and made nearly 10 guan of money.”
Without this comparison, Rong Tianding felt that Rongcheng Xiaofu Ji’an was very good. .
But after seeing the world expand, he felt that Rongcheng was just a backwater.
Having seen the prosperity of Chang'an City, it is difficult to return to the coldness of Rongcheng.
On the one hand, he needs to help the people in Zhangjiazhuang, and on the other hand, he really wants to drag his family to Chang'an City for development, and this will at least allow him to see his parents, so that they will not be thousands of miles apart. I miss Rong Li every day.
With various calculations and the convenience brought by Zhang Xuezhou asking for errands, Rong Tianding came up with this plan.
"Cousin, you have already entered the imperial court. I also have some cultivation and will be able to transform into a true spirit immediately. Our cultivation is not outstanding in Chang'an City, but it is not difficult to establish a firm foothold at the bottom, and …”
Rong Tianding thought for a while, and he couldn't help but think of the three generations of old, middle and young people in Zhangjiazhuang who were like wolves and tigers. Even the women in Zhangjiazhuang were good at bows.
The people in this kind of village are far inferior to cultivators, but when compared to an ordinary village, it is undoubtedly the comparison of an adult beating a child.
Even if these people are placed in Chang'an City, these people are still the best among civilians.
It is not difficult for Zhangjiazhuang people to squeeze into the chaotic area outside Chang'an City.
Moreover, they have good seeds that can be used for farming, and they have agricultural monks to guide them in farming, and they are also familiar with the business of grain trading. Rong Tianding feels that the prospects for development are good.
"My cousin is thoughtful!"
Compared with Zhang Xuezhou's unclear arrangement, Rong Tianding felt that developing production and adding some commercial operations could allow many people to live outside Chang'an.
As long as you survive the first few years, life will definitely get better.
If someone can work as a minor official in Chang'an City, he can even buy a house in the city. Of course, not being eligible to buy a house in Chang'an City is not a big deal. After all, there are too many ways to enter and exit Chang'an City.
"I knew my cousin would agree," Rong Tianding said happily: "When my parents take a tour of Chang'an City, they will definitely not think about Chengdu!"
"That's right!"
"As long as I If they can make money to live, they won't worry about killing pigs!"
Rong Tianding and Zhang Xuezhou murmured, while Rong Li and Jia Zhiyuan looked at Zhang Xuezhou's extremely gentle eating.
Zhang Xuezhou's behavior was extremely calm, but the amount of food he ate was far beyond that of ordinary people. One person ate the food that would take other people three days to finish.
When Rong Li and others first looked at it, they felt that Zhang Xuezhou was so pitiful that he was so hungry that his belly was pressed to his bones.
But when Zhang Xuezhou continued to eat and his face and abdomen showed no abnormalities, the two of them began to believe what Rong Tianding said, that is, their nephew had become an extremely capable practitioner.
Even if you can eat it, this is still a kind of ability.
Although she doesn’t know what the cultivators can do with this kind of ability, Rong Li also doesn’t understand the situation over there in Chang’an City. If there are only cultivators who can eat, this may prove that Why did Zhang Xuezhou become an official in the imperial court?
The couple muttered something that was completely incomprehensible to normal people, and greeted the guests loudly from time to time. It was not until the banquet came to an end that the couple bid farewell to their neighbors one by one who came to congratulate them.
"Your cousin..."
"It's time for my cousin to lie down soon. It's up to us to arrange the matter. Let's go to the inn to get the official horse first, and then we'll go south along the way, and then Turn to the west!”
“What are you lying about?”
After filling their stomachs, Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding also settled the matter.
Compared to the twelve days Zhang Xuezhou spent lying in Chengdu, this time he was slightly different. He could hitch a ride to Chang'an City when Rong Tianding moved.
Twelve days is not a long time, but it is not a short time either. By the time he wakes up again, he should have traveled more than half of the distance.
As for some minor troubles during this trip, Zhang Xuezhou ignored them. After all, he has successfully completed the task of recruiting Li Shaojun, and some things that did not meet the officials' specifications along the way will not cause any big problems. Criticism, if it really doesn't work, he still has the excuse of being weak and sick.
He touched the innate spiritual object he took out from Abbot Island. After looking at the stick, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he would probably have to use a cane in his life.
After using the Treasure Refining Art for another time, Zhang Xuezhou also told Rong Tianding some relevant things to pay attention to.
He came to Rong's house very quickly, and he lay down quickly after eating and drinking. It was difficult for him to have much time to catch up with Rong Li and others, so he could only apologize.
Rong Tianding hummed and responded for a while, and then he saw Zhang Xuezhou lying on the bed without a voice, and he was as fragmented as before, and it was difficult to wake up.
"My cousin is really capable. He makes money, finds treasures, rescues people, and also does official work. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do so many things!"
Rong Tianding thought about the two people when they came to Luoyang City, and then to the scene when Zhang Xuezhou's official document mission was completed. He couldn't help but feel that there were many things happening in it, and there must be a lot of content in it that he had never been exposed to.
“When my cultivation reaches a high level, I will definitely be able to keep up with my cousin, and then all of us will be able to live a good life!”
He thought about the corpse he had obtained. The inheritance of Jiao School, and thinking about Zhang Xuezhou's unpredictable skills, I feel that the future is bright for the two of them.
