Heavenly Master, I have a different world

5:43.

It's almost three quarters past nine o'clock.

Different world.

The void shook, and Fang Zheng, wearing a warm hat, protective clothing, and ancient cotton clothes, appeared out of thin air in a dark alley.

There were a few beggars huddled in the corner of the alley. When they heard the movement, they opened their eyes drowsily and saw a figure striding towards the long street outside.

In the early morning of winter, the fog was hazy and there were still few pedestrians on the street.

Most of the people coming and going were huddled up, not yet completely out of sleep, and not paying attention to who was around them.

"call……"

Fang Zheng, who had mixed in with the crowd, let out turbid air. The water vapor turned into white smoke when it was cold, and dispersed in front of his eyes. The chill that invaded his body also shocked him.

Touching the bag on his waist, he inquired about the store selling porridge and pancakes, and then walked towards the south of the city.

Since he plans to make a fortune in this other world, he cannot be a homeless person. The first priority is to lay a foundation here, that is, to have an identity.

Having an identity makes it easier to act.

Now Fang Zheng is still a refugee, so he needs to find someone to take refuge with him first.

In the previous dynasty, the lifang system was implemented, which meant that the city was built as a city and the houses were divided into districts. The city was surrounded by a square wall, which was divided into square lifangs.

Lanes separate streets and then divide courtyards for living.

Lifang is surrounded by earth walls, like separate communities. People live inside and are not allowed to come out at will.

This facilitates management and separates the rich from the poor.

Some areas specialize in commercial activities, which are called markets.

Nowadays, the lifang system has been overturned, the high walls have been torn down, people are allowed to move around at will, and commerce has become more developed, but the rich area of ​​the past is still there.

Sun family, a cloth merchant,

It belongs to a wealthy family!

From a high family comes a large family, and a wealthy family looks after the nine clans.

After crossing a narrow alley, the courtyard in front has changed significantly. A three-meter-high courtyard wall separates the inside and outside. Each house occupies a large area.

Pedestrians coming and going often wore silks, satins and mink furs, showing off their wealth.

"Crunch..."

The small door opened, and Old Liu looked at Fang Zheng with a surprised look on his face:

"Brother Fang, have you... met a noble person?"

It is true that a person depends on his clothes.

At a glance, it was obvious that the clothes Fang Zheng was wearing were not cheap. They were not worth a few taels of silver, which made Old Liu put away his contempt.

Originally, when he heard that someone had taken refuge, he planned to let him go casually, but now he had to be cautious.

"without."

Fang Zheng followed the example of others and cupped his fists, saying:

"I pawned the watch in my hand and exchanged it for some money, but I don't have a place to live yet, so I came here to seek refuge."

"Brother Liu, I hope you can give me some advice."

As he spoke, he stuffed a piece of silver into his hand.

"Don't, don't..." Old Liu pretended to stop him for a few times, and then he tightly grasped the money in his hand, and even his breathing became a little heavy.

Almost two taels of silver!

This is the salary that I can earn by working at Sun's house for several months.

"Brother Fang."

After thinking for a while, Lao Liu said:

"It's not difficult if you want to find a job to support your family. The cloth shop is always short of people, but looking like you, I'm afraid you don't want to do that."

Fang Zheng nodded.

He needs to travel back and forth, so working for others is definitely not an option.

"We are refugees and have no status unless we are naturalized." Old Liu said:

“Naturalization has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you have an identity and can travel more easily. The disadvantage is that you will inevitably have to pay taxes and corvee every year.”

"Of course, if you have money, these won't be a problem."

Founder is clear.

Refugees are equivalent to black households. Normally no one cares about them, but once they are discovered, there is no guarantee. The advantage is that they do not have to pay taxes.

In fact, black households also have to pay taxes, but they pay less, and they are local private property and are not included in the imperial list. Local officials turn a blind eye.

Naturalization has many benefits.

You can do business, study, buy and sell land, etc., but taxes and corvees cannot be reduced, but they can be deducted in money.

"How to naturalize?"

"Master Yu can help."

Mr. Yu is the son-in-law.

The eldest son of the Sun family has no sons, only one daughter.

Nowadays, the prosperity of the Sun family is entirely due to the efforts of Dafang, the Dafang of the Sun family. Therefore, there must be someone in Dafang's lineage to carry on the family line, and recruiting a son-in-law is inevitable.

Yu Yanghong and the daughter of the Sun family have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. Later, when the Yu family declined, they simply married into the Sun family to support each other.

Although they are married, it is said that the two have an excellent relationship.

"Founder."

Yu Yanghong is about 20 years old. He has a dignified appearance and extraordinary appearance. His gorgeous clothes add a bit of elegance. It is no wonder that he is the son-in-law of a rich family. He is looking back and forth:

"Brother Fang comes from an extraordinary family, right?"

Ordinary people in another world have to work day and night to make a living, and inevitably their skin is rough and their hands are calloused. They are no better than the over-nourished people in modern society.

Fangzheng has delicate hands and smooth skin, and you can tell at a glance that he does not come from a poor family.

"Not really." Fang Zheng shook his head:

"I can only say that there is no need to do any hard work."

"In this way..." Yu Yanghong nodded and then said:

"Naturalization is not difficult. I know Mr. Han from the household, and I just added a name through his hands, but it costs a certain amount of money."

"How many?"

"Fifteen taels of silver!"

"Can."

Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it would cost a huge amount of money, but he didn't expect it to be so cheap. Maybe he should first get familiar with the prices in this world.

"Ms. sir."

While talking, a woman walked out of the door, followed by two maids.

"Why...are you doing this kind of thing again?"

The woman is beautiful and plump, and her voice is angry and a little shy:

"If you are short of money, just tell me. The government can still help you, so there is no need to associate with some shady people."

Her voice was not loud, and no one except Yu Yanghong could hear her clearly.

"lady."

Yu Yanghong stood up and held the woman's wrist, smiling:

"Brother Fang is different. He escaped to Gu'an County in a difficult situation. Since he came to our home, I thought it would be okay to help him."

The woman tilted her head, her beautiful eyes flashing slightly.

She really didn't like her husband-in-law's association with outsiders who didn't know his background. Ordinary people from a family like theirs couldn't see them easily.

Only Yu Yanghong is different from others.

Well……

After examining Fang Zheng and seeing that he didn't seem to be from a poor family, Sun Die's expression softened slightly, he nodded and asked:

"Where are you from, Master?"

"The family background is ruined, and I have no face to face my ancestors." Fang Zheng sighed softly and said politely:

"Now I just want to be naturalized and have an identity, so that I can have a place to live. It won't be too late to mention my family in the future if I really succeed."

"That's it." Sun Die glanced at Yu Yanghong, thinking that this person was in a similar situation to his own husband, and felt even closer to him:

"Young master, do you want to be naturalized?"

"Yes." Fang Zheng said:

"In addition to naturalization, I also want to find a place to live. I wonder if you two can give me some advice. As for the price... it's not a problem."

Sun Die's eyes lit up.

She likes such generous guests.

"What a coincidence."

"Our Sun family has a small courtyard in the east of the city that has just been vacated. If the young master is willing to buy it, I can sell it for seventeen taels of silver. If you rent it, it will cost you two taels of silver per year."

Pawn sale?

To sell or to pawn?

Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, at a loss.

Sun Die thought he had other concerns, so he immediately smiled and said: "This matter can be handled as soon as possible, sir, don't worry."

"yes."

Fang Zheng came back to his senses, cupped his fists and raised his hands:

"Thank you both. I'll rent it for two years."

"Okay." Sun Die was slightly surprised, and then said:

"Wu Huyuan!"

As soon as the voice fell, a man walked out of the door. He was tall and carried a long knife. He was clearly the 'Brother Wu' who had been traveling with Fang Zheng and Lao Liu a few days ago.

"You accompany this..."

"Founder."

"You accompany Mr. Fang for a walk."

"yes."

"Brother Wu" should be holding his fists.
