Chapter 10
Three days later, outside Yidu city.

The intersection here has obviously become larger, and the flow of people has increased. The ground is full of horseshoe marks and deep rut marks. It has already begun to see prosperity.

Song You was sitting under the booth at the intersection, eating wontons, and Sanhuamao was lying next to his bowl, eating a ball of meat stuffing that Song You bought from the stall owner.

There are many merchants sitting around, and the sound is noisy.

"Have you heard? The fog ghost in the section of Liangshuiao has been eliminated."

"real or fake?"

"The news released by the Zhengwei Escort and the Wushan tea merchant are all spreading the word that that section is safe... Wushan tea merchant's reputation is still good, let alone the Zhengwei Escort who eats this food. It is absolutely impossible to lie!"

"Nanhua County hired another expert?"

"I heard it's not. It seems to be a young gentleman who was passing by, and he got rid of it. If there is no movement, the fog ghost will be gone."

"Ouch! That's great!"

"Even the masters in Tai'an Temple may not have this ability!"

"Tai'an Temple? Tai'an Temple is also very famous, and it is well cultivated! How many experts are there in this Yidu, who is practicing in the city?"

"It's true. If you want to find an expert, you have to go outside the city."

"..."

"Suck it!"

Song You sucked on the hot wontons.

After one bite, the savory flavor of minced meat and green onions bloomed in his mouth, causing him to raise his head and narrow his eyes, feeling a long-lost feeling.

Although he has come to a relatively backward era, Song You has never treated himself badly in terms of tongue and tongue in these years in the Taoist temple. He even found many ingredients that he could not eat in his previous life to make up for the lack of other aspects—— If you don’t have chili tomato, then get some bear’s paw salamander.

I have had enough steamed buns these days.

"Miss Sanhua, is it delicious?"

"good to eat."

"That's good."

I promised to take Empress Sanhua to taste the delicacies of different places, but after a few days, I didn't even eat meat a few times, I was really ashamed.

Those merchants were still discussing him and the fog ghost.

Traveling merchants rely on merchants to make money, and whether they are safe along the way is indeed their most concerned issue.Bandits are okay, they just want money, but ghosts are deadly.

Song You was not very interested in this, but was thinking about accommodation in Yidu while eating.

He planned to stay in Yidu for a few months.

Come here to rest and feel the prosperity and culture of the Yizhou government and the third city in the world, and visit the surrounding famous mountains and temples.

Secondly, in a while, there will be the largest temple fair in Yizhou. It is the most lively once a year. Maybe he can see the truly wonderful things in this world that are worthy of his interest, and add some fun to the boring life.

It will also be cheaper to buy horse mules at temple fairs.

Then you have to find a place to live.

Inns usually focus on long-stay services. The convenience is convenient, but the price may not be very good.

Renting may be cheaper.

"Suck it!"

After Song You ate the last wonton, he drank the soup from a bucket bowl. After the Sanhua cat had finished eating the minced meat, he poured water into his palm, and carefully fed Mistress Sanhua to her fill before paying the bill. leave.

A total of twenty Wen coins.

A bowl of wontons is ten cents, and the stall owner said that the meat stuffing is charged for a bowl of wontons, and there is no charge for eating wontons with water.

A few steps away is the gate of the city.

The city gates made of blue bricks are full of potholes and full of history.

The military academy stood on the edge of the city to check in and out, and there was a notice posted on the wall, which roughly meant the arrest warrant and where there was a ghost, and he hoped to find an expert to cut it off.

These notices are quite interesting. Among them, there are many martial arts masters and Taoist people who are wanted. Song You took a look at those local ghosts. Most of the rewards for cutting them off are quite generous, but I want to write these on the notice. The ghosts here are not so easy to deal with.

In addition, there are many Yamen and idlers waiting here.There is no navigation in this era, and they can provide services such as guides, helpers, and intermediaries.However, there seemed to be very few Taoist priests among their target customers, or they were afraid that the Taoist priests would not give them money and tell them fate, so they didn't come to Song You's side anyway.

When Song You walked to the door, he was struggling to find someone to rent a house for him, when he suddenly ran into an acquaintance.

"gentlemen!"

Turning around to look, it was the businessman surnamed Li and his group.

It seems that he is leaving the city and going back to Wushan.

"Courtesy."

Song You saluted him.

The cat under his feet also stood up with the man, imitating his appearance and saluting the businessman surnamed Li.

When did it start?It seems that after buying a small fish for it three days ago as a betrothal gift, it began to occasionally learn from Song You's words and deeds.

"oops!"

The businessman surnamed Li hurriedly returned the salute. When he saw the saluting cat at his feet, he was taken aback for a moment, and returned the salute again, but he didn't dare to ask or neglect:

"Sir, have you just arrived in Yidu?"

"I was delayed on the road for a few days."

"If the gentleman arrives one day earlier, we should also hold a banquet for him." The businessman surnamed Li felt very regretful, and he didn't know if it was true or not.

"As early as one day, it will be gone."

"That's true!" The businessman surnamed Li was stunned again, "I don't know how long you will stay in Yidu? Where do you live?"

"I'm planning to find someone to rent a house for a few months."

"There is a small courtyard behind our tea shop. Although it is a bit crowded, if the husband wants to stay for a few days, you can make up for one or two to save some rent."

"Will not be disturbing."

"I don't think the husband would like it either. But Yidu's house is very deep. I have a wife and brother who also work in Yidu. He is quite honest. If sir needs me, I will bring him to see him. "The businessman surnamed Li said with a grin, "The villain will come to visit you again when the time comes."

"That would be troublesome."

"Please wait a moment, sir!"

The businessman surnamed Li turned around and ran, and brought a person not far behind, and explained as he walked, and when they came to Song You, the two saluted again:
"Sir, this is my brother-in-law."

"Villain Wang Ji, I have met Mr.

"I will entrust your Excellency."

"I will do my best."

Not long after, the group of merchants surnamed Li left the city again. On the loess road, there were faint green hills, and a group of figures became smaller and smaller.

In the distance, there are still merchants coming to porter their husbands.

Song You also followed Wang Ji into the city.

Yidu, like most cities in this era, is planned in a square shape, with horizontal and vertical roads, so it is not easy to get lost, but it is easy to circle in the alleys.

Wang Ji seemed like a real person, and he showed him a few houses, but either the price exceeded Song You's psychological expectation, or the quality of the house or the surrounding environment really didn't meet Song You's needs.

There is no way, Dayan's urban housing prices are not only the highest in history, but also ten times higher than previous dynasties.The main reason is that Dayan canceled the "land equalization system", which means that everyone is no longer allocated land and homesteads. At the same time, the development of the commercial economy has promoted population flow, and the population began to gather in cities, which led to a rise in urban housing prices. It may be the first wave of soaring in history.

At present, the price of a house in Yidu City may start at a thousand dollars, and the rent will naturally skyrocket accordingly.

Song You was really helpless, so he had to come up with the method that Master said: "I wonder if there are any haunted or unlucky houses in this city?"

Wang Ji was taken aback after hearing this, and looked at him:
"Mr. these houses don't like it?"

"Really?"

"There are indeed! There are more than one set! Some will get sick and unlucky if you live in it, some will lose your fortune, and some will be haunted every night. Which kind do you want?"

"The lowest price."

"The villain knows a house, the location is clean, but it's convenient to buy vegetables. It's rumored to be haunted. I have rented a few houses, and the rent was returned within a few days. I used to quote [-] yuan a month. If you really have an idea, Mr. Let me take you to see the house first, if you like it, you will be doing the master a favor."

"Thank you."

"plz follow me."

Wang Ji learned that Song You came to Yidu for the first time, and it was also the first time to rent a house, so he talked to him about some rules of renting a house while walking.

Dayan’s Fangyazi is quite particular, mainly because Dayan’s house renting and Fangyazi are strictly controlled by the government, renting a house must be through Fangyazi, and only through the contract of Fangyazi can it be recognized by the government, so every Fangyazi is a government official. Those who are registered, the commission is also stipulated.Even the government has issued many laws to protect the rental market, such as buying and selling without breaking the lease, which has been said in this era.

In addition, the rental market also has shop and house affairs, which is a government agency that controls housing resources, that is, public rental housing.

What if the common people come to work in the city, the officials go to work in the field, and they come to study in other places to prepare for the exam and cannot afford to rent a house?You can rent a house for housekeeping.

Many things surprised Song You.

It's not surprising that these things exist, but that they are already available now.Immediately after reacting, I felt that my surprise seemed to have a kind of superiority and arrogance from a more advanced civilization, which really shouldn't be, so I couldn't help but fall into reflection.

An hour later.

The two of them and the cat have come to a small courtyard.

This courtyard is located in Beicheng, which is a relatively valuable road section, with prosperous business and convenient water fetching.

The yard is in the middle of an alley, and there is a big tree not far from the door, and there are stone tables and benches under the big tree for people to enjoy the shade.The red paint on the wooden door has faded and become old, and the original trees in the yard stretched out their branches and leaves from the top of the courtyard wall.

Passers-by at the door saw Youfang Yazi bringing someone to look at the house, and they all cast strange glances, it seemed that there was indeed something wrong.

"Mister is capable..."

Wang Ji muttered something, as if to comfort himself.

The crackling sound of unlocking the lock had a rustic metallic texture. As he pushed the door open, amidst the sour sound, the courtyard appeared in front of Song You.

"Sir, you can go in and check."

Wang Ji said, but he was standing at the door.

Song You didn't care, nodded and stepped into the courtyard gate.

It can be seen that the courtyard was originally quite exquisite, with plums and bamboos, but it has been unoccupied for a long time, and the weeds are deep, and the bamboo forest behind the house has grown into the courtyard.

"The landlord said that if you are willing to rent, you can just write in the contract for one month. According to the law, the house plundering money is paid every month, starting from the sixth day, and the first five days are for you to move and clean up the house. time."

Song You paced in the courtyard, turned around and asked:
"What about the price?"

"It's still one thousand a month."

"deal."

"okay."

Sign the contract and the agreement becomes effective.

Song You sent Wang Ji away.

Empress Sanhua looked left and right in the courtyard, and she began to feel uneasy again when she came to the new environment. She smelled here and there, and seemed to have some insights. She suddenly turned her head and asked Song You in a low voice: "How about today?" Do you live here?"

"I'll live here tomorrow too."

"What about the day after tomorrow?"

"It's going to be a while."

"This house seems to be haunted."

"Ah."

"Why do we live in ghost houses?"

"Is Mistress Sanhua afraid of ghosts?"

"Empress Sanhua is a cat god, and cat gods are not afraid of ghosts." Sanhua cat followed him like a follower, "But this is a house of ghosts."

"Because we are short of money, we have to disturb him."

"I don't know what a lack of money is."

"It's just that there is not much money."

"I don't even know what money is."

"It's what I use to buy pancakes, steamed cakes, and steamed buns on the road, and it's also what I use to buy meat for Mistress Sanhua. It takes money to buy a house. If we buy a house with less money, we can spend more money. Buy fish and meat to eat."

"Oh……"

Empress Sanhua seems to understand but not understand.

Just about to ask the ghost what to do, Song You turned to face the courtyard, gave a salute, and said calmly, "It's true that housing in Yidu is expensive, and I'm cash-strapped, so I have to live here temporarily for a while. If there is any trouble, please forgive me, Your Excellency Haihan."

The three-flowered cat hurriedly saluted:

"Hello, please..."

The courtyard was quiet, only the sound of the wind blowing the bamboo, it was almost dusk, but the sunlight had not dissipated, and it slanted on the tiled roof of the courtyard, and the tiled pine trees were like colorful flowers.

Regardless of the weeds in the garden, this is really a beautiful little yard.
