Chapter 29: The Great General
When Lu Jinnian was leaving the city, she saw a group of soldiers and horses galloping in the distance.
The scene was really spectacular. She followed other passers-by and hid far away.
What if the horse got angry and kicked her?
So it was best to stay away!
"It's General Meng Ya!"
The group seemed to recognize the man in front of them, shouting words like "General".
Lu Jinnian looked over. Although the leader was riding a horse, he could be seen to be tall and strong.
Under the thick sword eyebrows were a pair of deep eyes, which dared not let people look directly at them.
"General Meng Ya, please come in." The guards at the door did not dare to stop them and quickly let them in.
That Meng Ya didn't even look at them and rode into the city directly.
Lu Jinnian frowned. There would be a general here?
Because she didn't know the map of this place, she only knew from the original owner's memory that this was the north.
Could it be the northernmost?
This is not impossible. After all, only those who guard the border have great generals, or they are under the feet of the emperor.
Thinking of this, she felt that this was not a good place. Once a war broke out, the first to be affected would be the lowest-class civilians.
Lu Jinnian took a look and went back. It was getting late. If she didn't go back,
she would not be able to eat at home. This time she bought some more food in the city, but unfortunately the price went up again, but she didn't buy more.
Maybe because of the refugees, the price of food in the city has almost doubled.
Fortunately, there are more food in the space than can be eaten, otherwise she would not be willing to buy so much, and her money has to be saved for buying houses and land in the future.
Just thinking about the price of the house, she couldn't help but sigh.
She had asked that person before, and the houses in the city were shockingly expensive.
A small courtyard in a shabby house in the civilian area costs five hundred taels of silver, not to mention those small courtyards with two entrances. A
house in a bad location costs several thousand taels, while a house in a good location and a large one costs tens of thousands of taels.
Although this is a frontier city, it is still hundreds of miles away from the frontier.
And this Jincheng is the most prosperous city within a hundred miles. In addition to the local residents, some businessmen have also settled here.
In addition, it is not easy to buy a house here. In addition to the household registration certificate, it also needs to be reviewed by the government department.
Anyway, you can't buy it if you have money, but you can't buy it without money.
Lu Jinnian guessed that if she spent some money, she might be able to buy a house.
As long as the money is in place, there is nothing that can't be done.
She thought so, but if she managed the relationship, she could buy a small courtyard in the civilian area according to what that person said.
At least two or three hundred taels of silver, who can afford it?
To buy a similar courtyard, plus managing the relationship, Lu Jinnian estimated that it would take about two thousand taels.
Let's not talk about where the money comes from. Even if she has the money, it is inevitable that the other party will see that she is not from here and will blackmail her.
If the money is gone by then, won't it be a waste of time?
Lu Jinnian sighed and looked up at the shack. After walking and thinking all the way, the idea of buying a house and land is still too difficult.
If possible, she really wants to build a house and open up wasteland by herself.
Unfortunately, her energy is limited. Even if she is strong, how big a house can she build
by herself? It will probably take her several months to cut down trees and build the foundation. She can't spend all her time on building a house.
She also wants to send her younger brothers and sisters to school, and now is not the time to build a house.
Thinking of this, she sighed again, but she must send Lu Jincheng to school in the spring of next year. This has been decided.
Thanks to Ling'er Ariel for the reward
