Chapter 980

The cost of entering the city is not fixed, but determined according to the goods you carry, and a certain proportion is drawn.

I didn't expect that this method of proportional tax collection existed in the early days of the flood and famine. It's quite difficult to pay more with more, pay less with less, and don't pay without.

Goods, whether for personal use or sales, have to be paid. When they entered the city, there were not many things on the car. Most of them were converted into silver in Longhu Town, so they paid a little. There was no poll tax here, but the carriage had to pay a tax. Wu you took out some money and sent it away.

However, the ivory and bone products are subject to high taxes. The guard at the door has sharp eyes and recognizes that they are good things. Gu Zheng doesn't care. He directly throws them a piece of ivory as tax.

After entering the city, both aunt Cui and Wu you and Maduo became grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden for the first time. Her eyes didn't seem to be enough. She looked everywhere, especially at all kinds of shops on both sides of the street.

The city is pretty good. It is surrounded by two-story buildings, and some are three or even four floors.

"Wu you, find an inn to stay first!"

It's not a hurry. It's already afternoon when we arrive. According to the meaning of Gu Zheng, we want to buy a house here for permanent residence. At present, it will be dark for a while, so we can only stay in the inn first.

In Gu Zheng's plan, I'm afraid the inn will stay for a few days. It's not so easy to buy a house. He certainly doesn't want an ordinary house. Since he plans to stay here for the time being, it's better to choose a better house.

A line of 11 people, many people unnaturally take Wu you and many as the leader. No one would have thought that the staple food here is the cute looking child over four years old.

He still opened three rooms. Wu you shook his head when he opened the room. The room rate here is much more expensive than that in Longhu Town, at least three times more, but the accommodation conditions are much better than that in Longhu town.

"Childe, this is the mansion. It's so big!"

After opening the room, Gu Zheng took them all away. Wu you walked on the side of Gu Zheng and said with a sigh.

"Yes, it turns out that the Fucheng is so big. No wonder people who have been here say that they will live in vain if they don't come to the Fucheng in this life!"

Aunt Cui also sighed there. Everything around her made her both novel and excited. At the same time, she was also a little afraid. It was too strange here. It was completely different from the village where she used to live, so she didn't know what to do.

If there had been no ancient dispute with them, she would have hid in a corner and dared not come out.

"This city can only be regarded as ordinary. There are more than this!"

Gu Zheng smiled. The large mansion means more resources, which is a good thing for him. This is much more than the big market. Every day is a big market, where he can buy more things he needs.

At present, although he has two powerful treasures in his hand, his own strength is still too weak. If he can live in seclusion here, it's better to cultivate to a certain level first, preferably to the golden immortal level, and then go out.

Is Da Yin hidden in the world? He doesn't know where there are big cities in other places. He can only live here first.

"There's something bigger, my God, how big it is!"

Wu you cried out in shock. He couldn't imagine what a bigger city than Fucheng would look like. This time, the ancient dispute was not talking. There were not only many larger cities in the flood and famine, but also in the earth in later generations. After they arrived in a modern metropolis with tens of millions of people, they couldn't be scared to faint.

But Gu Zheng didn't laugh at them. They were normal. When he first saw the main peak of Shushan, he was shocked.

It was getting dark, and lights grew up at the door of many shops. Soon, a smell of oil filled the whole street. These shops used oil lamps, which were not good oil, and had a bad smell.

But the people here have long been used to it and no one cares.

However, Wu you and them opened their mouths again. Where have they seen such a night market? No matter where they are, they sleep at dark. There are still many shops open here after dark. Especially after so many lights are on, they feel like they are in a fairyland.

"Go there and have something to eat!"

Gu Zheng pointed to a bigger restaurant and walked in with these silly people. They are like this today. It will be good if they get used to it over time.

There were many people during the visit. Eleven people sat down at a big table in the hall. Then Wu you went to order and had a simple dinner.

The food here can only be said to be average, but the ingredients are OK, and there are some cooking skills, but it's far worse than Gu Zheng's own. Gu Zheng suddenly wondered if his business would be better if he opened a restaurant here.

There's no doubt about this. His dishes will definitely be popular. Unfortunately, he doesn't have this time at all. Now his most important thing is to practice, which can only be thought about. When he's interested, just make some for himself.

"Childe, will we all live here in the future?"

After eating, Wu you couldn't help asking again. Maduo on one side also watched Gu Zheng. Since lifting the ban on Wu you, he asked him, like Maduo, to call himself the childe instead of the master.

Call it master. It's a slave. Call it childe. It's just a servant.

"Yes, I dare not say how long I will stay here for the time being, but you can stay forever if you want to!"

Gu Zheng nodded. Wu you became obviously excited. How happy it is to live in such a good place all the time.

Yesterday in Longhu Town, they also lamented that it was big. They didn't know until they arrived at Fucheng today. No wonder people over there also yearned for Fucheng. Fucheng is really big and there is no comparison at all.

"You can always live here, but there are several places you can't go!"

Back at the inn, Gu Zheng called everyone and ordered them there. He had just observed that the city and the cities of the flood and famine did not change much. To say the change, there were no more kinds and goods than later generations. There should be, basically.

"Please tell me, childe. We won't go!"

Maddo was the first to stand up and listen. Others said the same thing there.

"The first place is the casino!"

There is a casino here. Gu Zheng has noticed one. The way of gambling is very simple, but it is gambling after all. Gu Zheng knows what the result of gambling addiction is. If he really enters the casino and is obsessed with it, he will be abandoned.

"What is a casino?"

One of Ma Duoduo's men asked foolishly. They didn't know what the casino was. Gu Zheng simply explained the situation of the casino and let them understand. He didn't know the best. In this way, he wouldn't try again after he banned it.

"The second place is the military camp!"

Gu Zheng said the second place. There are professional soldiers and military barracks here. Gu Zheng doesn't know how the military barracks are on alert, but that place can't enter randomly. They go in and Gu Zheng also has a way to save them, but it's always troublesome and may suffer losses.

This is not a groundless struggle in ancient times. These people who have not entered the city are curious about where they are and want to see it. If they don't know the rules here and run around, they may suffer heavy losses. The barracks of the Honghuang city have a feature. Unlike the earth, they are separated by a yard. They are just a fence, including the Honghuang city in later generations.

Wu you was the first to promise this time. He understood. Maduo also knew. The rest of the people didn't know. Now they know.

"The third place is the brothel!"

Gu Zheng thought about it and said it. Gu Zheng was surprised that there were already brothels in the city. It seems that this is really an ancient industry. Several people don't know what brothels are for. Gu Zheng explained, which made aunt Cui blush and leave with a loud scolding.

"If you want a woman, you can. Who do you like? We'll marry you openly. We won't let you go to the brothel now because you can't resist the temptation inside. Set a deadline first. Five years, and we'll ignore you in five years!"

The brothel has a fatal attraction for their young children. They can get into it. If anyone has another love, he will have a big head. He doesn't have the energy to take care of it.

Take precautions, so it's better to say it first.

In five years, they have also been stable. With their own help, it is not difficult to start a family. At that time, someone will take care of them. Even if they can't take care of them, at least they won't be attracted by them and nothing will happen.

Five years is also a time given by Gu Zheng.

He doesn't know how long he can cultivate Jinxian, but he hopes that this time will not be too long. Five years is the best, ten years at the latest, and strive to enter the realm of Jinxian within ten years, so that he can have the capital to go through the flood.

Jinxian is not. When you meet those big guys, you only have to run for your life.

Another point is that ten years later, even if he grows up, even if he is still young, at least he doesn't look like a child.

This speed is not faster than his previous cultivation, but he will be rich in resources. Xianyuandan has never stopped. There are various food cultivation AIDS and more resources. Now he is poor and can cultivate in such a short time. It is very fast.

Now he hasn't even reached the immortal realm.

Everyone agreed to the three requirements of Gu Zheng. For them, these places are very strange. If they don't go, they won't go. There are still too many places they want to go.

With curiosity and excitement about Fucheng, everyone went to bed late except Gu Zheng and Tao. As a result, they all had a panda eye the next day.

Their appearance made Gu Zheng shake his head.

"Wu you, find a place to sell the carriage and horse. There are other things besides little white dragon. Sell everything you can sell. Wang San and Wang Wu, you two go with Wu you!"

If you want to live in the city for the time being, you don't need a carriage. There are still some ivory, some animal bones, fur, etc. These are not needed for the time being. They can be exchanged for silver to buy a house.

Wang San and Wang Wu are two bandits and brothers who follow Maduo. They rank third and fifth respectively. Unfortunately, the rest of the family are dead, leaving them alone.

Many of those bandits are in this situation. Who is willing to be a bandit unless they have to.

"OK, childe!"

Wu you immediately agreed. Gu Zheng was not worried that he would sell things cheaper. This boy was born to do business. He knew how to bargain and raise prices. It was most suitable for him to do these things.

"Aunt Cui, you stay in the inn, but don't stay in the room. Listen to others outside more. If you talk about the five families and their settlement in the city, write it down. If you talk about other families, write it down!"

Wu you and them left. Gu Zheng gave orders to Aunt Cui's three women. They don't have to go out. Just stay here and inquire about some news. Gu Zheng needs to know the controller of the city, the attitude of settling down, and the situation of other families.

After all, if you want to live here permanently in the future, Gu Zheng is not afraid of trouble, but he doesn't like trouble. It's good to know something.

"Maddo, you take the others out with us. Let's find a house!"

In order to find a suitable house, Gu Zheng plans to go and have a look first. If they can't find it, let Maduo and them go and have a look. They are just familiar with the road conditions of the city.

Two children, with three adults, walk down the street like this. It doesn't look like a big family. Maduo and they all wear too simple clothes. At first glance, they know they are from the countryside. Gu Zheng and Tao wear very clean and very good clothes, but how can such children have such simple servants to follow? It's really incompatible.

The seven grade officials in front of the prime minister's door are like this in large families. The master is good, and the general servants are not too bad.

After only walking around, Gu Zheng understood the meaning of the eyes of the people around him. Their clothes were old and there was no good cloth on the road. He asked Wu you to buy some back and asked aunt Cui to make new clothes for each of them. When they entered the city, they couldn't continue to wear the original things.

One morning, Gu Zheng looked at several houses, but he was not satisfied.

It's either too small or too broken. Gu Zheng doesn't want to spend a lot of time on renovation. He wants a house that can live directly without renovation, which is the most worry-free.

"Young master, you are back!"

As soon as he returned to the inn, Gu Zheng saw Wang Wuyi sitting in front of the inn with a depressed face. Aunt Cui and they were also there, all with a sad face. When he saw Gu Zheng, he immediately welcomed him.

"What's going on?"

Gu Zheng's eyebrows have condensed together. Wang Wu doesn't look very good. He has a black and blue face and blood on his face. He knows he has been beaten at a glance.

"Childe, in the morning, Wu you took us to sell carriages, but before selling carriages, he sold Ivory first. He went to several jewelry stores. He knew that the ivory was good, especially the childe was so polished that he wanted to sell it at a good price, but he didn't expect to go to the third store. People there slandered Wu you and said that Wu you stole all the ivory. Wu you argued with him and they beat him I ran fast and ran out. Wu you and the third brother were detained by them! "

Wang Wu said quickly. In fact, he didn't come back long, but he obviously had no experience. Since he ran back, he should hide first and sit at the door. People came after him. I don't know all your details.

"How are Wu you and Wang now?"

Gu Zheng asked first. Wang Wu thought about it and said, "they caught him as a thief. I don't know exactly!"

"Just go, you lead the way, let's go!"

Gu Zheng sighed. He didn't want to cause trouble and wanted to live quietly in the city for cultivation, but he didn't cause trouble, but others provoked him. Hearing Gu Zheng, he knew that Wu you met scoundrels. Seeing their good things and the clothes of Wu you, they showed that Wu you was a newcomer to the city.

This is also a mistake of the ancient dispute. They should have been changed into good clothes for a long time.

At any time, there are many people with dog eyes. There are countless people who judge people by their appearance.

"Good!"

Wang Wu immediately stood up and led the way. His face was still angry. When the childe arrived, he must teach the people in the store a lesson. These people dared to rob their things openly. They were impatient.

He didn't think that if there was no ancient dispute, they could only eat the loss. It would be good to save people, but without ancient dispute, they wouldn't have such ivory.

The place was not far away. After a while, Wang Wu arrived with Gu Zheng. There were many people in front of the store. Gu Zheng's face was cold before he approached.

Wu you and Wang San were hanged by them and hung directly in front of the door. Their faces were covered with blood and against their heads. They didn't know what happened.

Many people around them pointed out that the two men were thieves.

"Maddo, put them down!"

Gu Zheng's cold voice came. Maduo shivered a little and immediately took Wang Wu and the three to come forward and wanted to put Wu you down. However, two people were watching under Wu you and Wang San. The eight people scuffled together in an instant.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

They didn't bring a knife. The people in these stores had weapons. They were going to suffer. Gu Zheng stepped forward and stamped them all with a few feet.

The four guys were lying there wailing. Gu Zheng had a sense of propriety. They couldn't die, but they couldn't escape. Their bones were broken and had to be raised for a few months.

This is because Gu Zheng noticed that Wu you and Wang San didn't die, but were injured. If something happened to these two people, I'm afraid Gu Zheng would really kill them.

"Who, who's making trouble?"

A young man, only 17 or 18 years old, came out of the store. As soon as he came out, Wang Wu immediately pointed to him and said, "it's him. He said we were thieves and robbed our Ivory!"

"It's you, a thief, and a helper. Just in time, I caught you all this time!"

When the young man saw Wang Wu, he laughed and said hello. Seven or eight people ran out of the store. They were so many that they were not afraid at all, but he didn't think about how the four men were beaten away just now and why they haven't got up yet.

Seven or eight people rushed out. They didn't start yet. They just felt a flower in front of them and flew out again.

Maduo and Wang Wu came forward and carefully put Wu you and Wang San down. Gu Zheng didn't care about the young man. He came forward and checked. Fortunately, they were all flesh and skin injuries. Wu you broke a rib and Wang San's arm. They can be cured without causing any serious harm.

They didn't have a big deal, so Gu Zheng put down a lot of heart. Then they raised their heads and looked at the young man.
