Chapter 17: Making money is serious business
The eyes met, and the next second, they looked away from each other, as if the two had never looked at each other.
The other party nodded to him across the crowd. Xie Yuchuan closed his eyes and nodded slightly, and the figure immediately turned around and quietly disappeared into the crowd.
Xie Wuying, who was behind him, had not noticed the subtle changes in his sixth brother. He still followed Xie Yuchuan's instructions and asked Xie Wenjie and others to cheer up. There were many people around him talking about what might happen.
The officers and soldiers were divided into two teams to escort the exiles. Xiong Jiushan led two deputies to hold the line in front. If he encountered someone who did not understand the rules and tried to approach, he would give a warning and the second sound might be the sound of a whip.
Soon no one dared to move forward.
The criminals exiled in the Liang Dynasty were generally sent to three places: Cangdao in the southeast, Liaozhou in the north, and Guoling in the southwest.
The distance from Beijing is about 2,000 to 4,000 miles. Each of the three places of exile has its own advantages, but the only thing they have in common is that they are sparsely populated, remote and desolate, and the living conditions are extremely difficult.
The exile node was chosen by the imperial court at the beginning of spring and the end of autumn, so as not to miss the farming and state affairs.
The Liang Dynasty has always had an unwritten habit. Prisoners from the north like to be sent to the south, and southerners are driven to the north. The main purpose is to make a living habit that is not suitable for them, add hardship to hardship, and double the torture, as a warning to others.
Most of the southerners in the team don't have a clear understanding of how harsh and harsh the cold weather in the north is, and what life-threatening difficulties they will encounter on the way. They just feel that the journey is too hard, and they don't know if they can survive. Make it to your destination alive.
Songjiang Town is the only place to go north to Liaozhou.
The people in the city are used to it. From time to time, officials escorting prisoners pass by.
But usually they are escorted one or two, or ten or eight, and they can stay and rest in the city without being in a hurry when passing through the city.
However, this exile team of more than a hundred people is still relatively rare, so many people came out to watch the fun after hearing the news.
On both sides of Laiyun Street, many people in the main street and lanes stopped to look, especially those who knew that there was something strange about the Xie family in the exile team. They looked around and were busy asking people around, Xie Where are the people at home?
There is a big difference between looking at people and looking at people.
Xie Yuchuan glanced around, lowered his head and hummed softly.
What is supposed to come will come, and he also thought that maybe those people are not so impatient.
The facts told him that he still overestimated them.
Even the small town of Songjiang didn't want them to have a good life thanks to their family.
The team moved forward at a steady speed. The female family members in front had been walking for a day and were already weak from exhaustion. The male prisoners in the back were not much better. They were all languishing behind and struggling to drag them along.
Prisoners who have just left the capital are pitiful in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of these experienced shopkeepers in Songjiang Town, it is hard to say who is pitiful.
Some shopkeepers were quick-witted and came forward to get close to the men, promoting the benefits of their own business. The innkeeper, who was always good at dancing, took the waiters in the shop and scooped water to bring warmth to the official.
There are more than a hundred people, and there must be some wealthy people among them. If they have something valuable in their hands, they can cover the income of a small business for more than half a year. If the officials are managed well, I don’t know. Can I make a little more money?
Watching a good deal slip away before your eyes, a businessman feels heartbroken.
"Do you want to stay overnight in a little man's inn before leaving? There is still a long way to go outside the city from the inn. It has been cold and windy recently, so why not stay in the hotel and have good wine and food? Gentlemen, please warm yourself up with some hot water.”
One by one, their eyes turned red as they looked at the dejected prisoners.
Before these people leave the Qiuling Pass, it’s better to earn one more. Otherwise, when they leave the pass, no one will be watching, and the escorting officers and soldiers will not be merciful.
Knowing that there is little hope, the merchants don’t want to give up. They have to walk thousands of miles to the north. Why don’t they prepare something before leaving the customs?
Making money is serious business!
Tu Hua feels the same way!
The question is, how to get the money?
After the system upgrade, all functions require krypton gold to use. In addition to three free roulette draws every day, and a 99% thank you for your patronage probability, Tu Hua just pretended that this thing did not exist.
Then, only krypton gold is left.
Her pocket is cleaner than her face. Is she using her face to cheat on the keyboard?
There has been no news from Xie Yuchuan on the phone. It seems that there is nothing wrong with him for the time being. Judging from Xie Yuchuan's tone, he seems to be able to cope with it.
Tu Hua was leaning cross-legged on the sofa, thinking about how she could make some big money.
It’s not easy to make money nowadays.
For feeding Xie Yuchuan so little, the dog system deducted 60,000 yuan from her!
[The feeding fee is not high, but the first-time deduction is too high because high-end functions are forced to be used across levels in the low version stage, such as top-level security systems and fixed-point quantitative rainfall. 】Tu Hua: "Can it be untied?"
[No! 】
Tu Hua knew she couldn't, so she asked casually without any hope.
She pulled out the deduction list to check.
Sure enough! The so-called big heads are all the "manifestation" function of the family god, and the average price is 20,000 to 30,000 yuan!
Whether she, the god of the family, will be able to work in the future, it doesn’t matter what she says, the wallet is the father.
“I can’t just spend money to protect others, it’s no good for me, right?”
Tu Hua browsed around in the system, checking the various functions after the upgrade, trying to be aware of it and pretending I don’t feel bad about spending money when I’m a god.
Never mind, after flipping through it for a while, she actually found a good page.
[System Mall - Host Exclusive - Bonus Goods]
There are four rows in the entire surface, the top three rows are all black with locks, and only the bottom row has three lit products:
Eat dry Fat-free gourmet pills (100 points)
Poison-proof health pill (500 points)
The common currency of the main plane is RMB 5 million (1000 points)
Tu Hua Her eyes were firmly glued to the third option...
She suddenly had a new idea for making money, and she didn't know if it was feasible or not.
Suddenly, I felt like sunshine after the rain, suddenly enlightened and very happy!
She picked up her phone and sent a message to Xie Yuchuan:
"Tuhua: Are you still camping in the wild tonight?"
During this season, sleeping outside every day was too harmful to her health. She thought about recharging some money to buy them some emergency supplies.
A few seconds later, Xie Yuchuan replied.
"Xie Yuchuan: If there is no accident tonight, I will probably sleep in the wild again."
If there is an accident, then I can't say where I will stay tonight.
Tu Hua wanted to ask him what he needed, but Xie Yuchuan sent another message.
"Xie Yuchuan: I take the liberty of Yu Heng to ask the family god what kind of offerings he would like to offer?" A life-saving grace."
Tu Hua: "..."
It feels a little special.
She couldn't explain it. When she saw the word "consecrate", a magical power surged in her heart.
She is the household god.
In Xie Yuchuan's heart, she is... a god.
Xie Yuchuan walked more than ten steps but did not hear the answer from the family god.
I felt uneasy for a while.
Is his question too offensive?
When he felt a little regretful, the gentle voice of the family god sounded in his ears again:
"Whatever is convenient for you."
