That's right, it's been so long in the blink of an eye, and it's time for him to settle down.

The autumn harvest is approaching, and people in the village are unknowingly busy.A year of hard work has finally come to fruition. No one wants to have problems at such a critical moment. The whole family takes turns guarding the field, fearing that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble.

Instead, Lu Ciyu became the most idle person in the village.

"This is also the last market before the autumn harvest. Few people enter the town. If it is after the autumn harvest, every family goes to the town to sell grain and buy things with money. Crowding people and things can squeeze your small body I'm crying." Li was driving the cattle drive with his hips akimbo.

Lu Ciyu laughed dryly, but he didn't know how to answer and could only say yes.

There is no need to rush after the autumn harvest, it is quite crowded now.

Lu Ciyu, who was squeezed on the narrow car floor with Mr. Lin Chi and a large bag of goods, thought so.

Although the government of the current dynasty stipulated that the yamen should exist as a resident department, the execution was not very effective.Information was underdeveloped in ancient times, and the emperor wanted to know the conditions of the people and the country only through the inherent rigid channels.The officials below are not stupid, they bribed those adults to suppress the unfavorable news for them, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, they are the king of the imperial decree.

What's more, this kind of small town is hard to find on a map a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the imperial capital.

During the few days when Lu Ciyu first arrived, he handed out the greeting card.The other party is just a clerk registered in the registry account, without even a formal grade, but because he holds real power, he has become a figure in this small town.

After a few days of handing over the post, the other party was in a better mood before accepting his request to have a meal, and reluctantly agreed.Lizheng found a lot of talents to get through the internal relationship. It was not until recently that he got a positive reply and told Lu Ciyu to go to the government to register.

It stands to reason that establishing a household registration should not be so difficult.

In order to prevent people from evading taxes and evading military service, the most basic household registration system of "Shi Wu Lian Zuo" has existed since ancient times.Then, with the development of time, the laws and regulations were continuously improved and perfected. Up to now, the household registration system of this dynasty has already formed a complete set of complete procedures.

Peaceful times were fine, if three or five years earlier, when the new emperor forced the palace, government soldiers would go door-to-door with the roster to arrest people for joining the army, black households like him would have no choice but to flee to the mountains to fend for themselves.

Lu Ciyu didn't have a famous post, and if someone interrogated him, he couldn't answer anything.According to the law, tax evasion will be severely punished. He can use his supernatural ability to escape and settle in a new village, but I am afraid that he will leave a black history with the government. When he becomes famous in business in the future It would be extremely easy for someone to engage him with this.

It is precisely because of all these considerations that he would rather owe more favors and trouble Lizheng to make a few more trips in exchange for this legitimate identity.In fact, it is equivalent to spending money to buy a registered official to keep silent. Everyone in Yangning Village only thinks that he is fleeing from disaster, and they don't think that he has nothing at all.

The ground was bumpy and uneven, and the car itself only had a few planks and wheels. The ox cart rattled and wobbled all the way, and Lu Ciyu, who was making an ox cart for the first time, almost broke his bones.

The other three looked calm, and they were actually peeking at him. It was obviously very interesting to see the expressions of this noble young man whose world was shattered.

Lin Chi saw that he was dizzy, spinning his hands and feet with no place to rest, and couldn't bear it, so he secretly called Li Zheng: "Uncle...".

Li Zheng put away his watching expression, and coughed lightly with his fist on his lips, Lu Ciyu came back to his senses: "Uncle, Uncle Li Zheng, let me drive the cattle, come up and rest for a while."

He also made this suggestion before, they can't let their elders drive them... The problem is that the dignified Young Master Lu got a driver's license and can pedal three wheels, but he just can't drive an ox cart. Where can he drive an ox? After tossing and tossing for a long time, he was driven back to the car when he really couldn't see it.

In the end, no one thought that he was sick with bullock carts.

Lu Ciyu wanted to cry but had no tears.He wants to get out of the car, even if he is allowed to lead the ox.

After walking all the way, at least he entered the town.Because it was the day of the market, the guards at the city gate were not strict, and they stood lazily on both sides of the gate.

In ancient times, it was not necessary to check name posts when entering a city, except of course large and important town checkpoints.It was the day of the market, and the population flow was high, so the guards just rummaged through the things they brought, and stuffed some copper coins under the cover of long sleeves, which was regarded as an inspection.

They had already negotiated on the way, Lu Ciyu followed Lizheng into the yamen to register a household, the old man took Lin Chi to the shop to sell the herbal prey hunted from the mountains, and after the two parties finished, they would go to meet up somewhere else.

Lu Ciyu had been in the town several times in stealth before, and had already passed the road here several times, so he followed Li Zheng and walked forward with a calm attitude.On the other hand, Lin Chi, who seldom left home, looked around, his eyes filled with wonder and curiosity, he looked more like an outsider than Lu Ciyu.

Lu Ciyu wanted to laugh when he saw it, but felt a little sad for no reason.

He was originally an outsider in that family. His uncles and aunts would take their daughters to the town to go to the fair, but they might not bring him with them.

Due to the fact that there were a lot of passers-by in the town, Lu Ciyu had no choice but to suppress the hand that just wanted to touch his head as a comfort, and bid farewell to the two old men with Li Zheng, turned and parted ways.

Most people who go to the market go to the west of Zhen, where there is a trading place specially designated by the government, but the Yamen and the West Market are two completely different directions.

Li Zheng had already told him about the Li Ji official he was going to meet today.He had two sons in his forties, and he was fond of property. Although he was somewhat snobbish, he was very cautious. This was the fundamental reason why he was able to sit in this position for several years.

As Lu Ciyu followed him all the way, he laid out what he said in the bottom of his heart.

It doesn't matter if you have good sex and possessions, Lu Ciyu lacks everything except money and treasures.Previously, he took a few souvenirs that he bought casually when traveling in a water town in the south and sold them for 20 taels of silver. He changed the town to disguise and used some walnut-carved ornaments and wooden ornaments. There are also hundreds of taels stored in the space.

In fact, those fan ornaments are nothing in modern times. The souvenirs made by machines in batches are all of the same style when you search on Taobao.However, this is ancient times, an era when everything had to be polished by hand, and the value of changing the background directly doubled several times.

At that time, Mr. Lu acted for himself a brain-dead young master who said "father doesn't give money, he steals things from the house in exchange for some money".

The owner of the pawnshop saw that it was profitable and saw others being foolish and deceitful, so he tricked him into signing a deadly pawn contract by offering an extra [-]% of the money.Seeing people press their fingerprints / My heart is ecstatic and I don’t mention it, I just feel that I have met a fool and made a lot of money, but I don’t know that I have also fallen into Lu Ciyu’s trap, making people turn back and make more than a hundred taels for nothing, in short, it’s a fortune A happy transaction for both parties.

It's okay to be snobby and cautious.Lu Ciyu wore the light blue brocade pattern embroidered robe that he had prepared earlier today, and the cuffs were so densely packed with various brocade and auspicious patterns that his eyes hurt.Another piece of two-color glazed jade pendant, which is rarely seen in this town, fell on the waist. The color is too natural, the color is bright, and the light transmittance is high. It is very valuable.The whole person has an extraordinary appearance and a luxurious demeanor, which is absolutely eye-catching.

As soon as I saw it, this problem has been verified... When I went to Xunli Zheng this morning, I was almost surrounded by the elders and aunts of the village, and finally escaped.

Thanks to this superficial dynasty, there is no rule that ordinary people cannot wear colored glaze.

Also, colored glaze is fired at a high temperature. The technology of this era is immature, and it is not uncommon for two-color glaze to be good. Royal or folk courts can produce a few pieces every once in a while, and there are not a few of them traded to the folk.Those with three or more colors are almost completely monopolized by rich and noble families.

If this is in modern times... let alone three colors, 72 colors can be created for you.

People are always afraid of the unknown.Since the official is greedy for money and profit, he must have seen a lot of good things. The down-and-out young man who doesn't pay attention to him wears clothes that he can't see the pattern, and he wears a jade pendant with high value. The official will definitely be jealous. Divide Lu Ciyu's past family background.

Li Zheng said that this person is cautious, so he will not attack Lu Ciyu easily, at most he will be on guard.In ancient times, there were many branches of a clan/clan. Lu Ciyu said that his relatives are no longer alive. Who knows if he has a cousin in the distance or a cousin that he doesn't usually contact very much. In case he touches Lu Ci Yu, someone came looking for him over there.

What's more, he helped Lu Ciyu set up an account at this time, and Lu Ciyu owed him a favor.In such a small town, Li Jiguan said one thing, Lu Ciyu would pay him "filial piety" every year and festival, and rashly doing it would be like killing a chicken to get its eggs. The long-term benefits of making favors must be more than the temporary wealth.

Li Jiguan did exactly what Lu Ciyu thought.

When he entered the door, he was startled by his appearance, and then his eyes fell on his waist and he couldn't take his eyes off.The arrogance and disdain in the eyes of the official looking at the rice paper in his hand disappeared in an instant, and his kind attitude was comparable to that of some salesmen in the 21st century.

Lu Ciyu looked around the environment very secretly, and briefly recounted his background and character design.From the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of Li Zheng who was standing on one side, and he indistinctly filled in a few small loopholes that he had overlooked when talking to Li Zheng earlier, and Li Jiguan couldn't help nodding.

"...That's it, what the boy said is absolutely true." After everything was finished, Lizheng secretly gave him a wink, and Lu Ciyu understood it, and picked up the big package that he brought with him: "The boy went hunting in the mountains before, I unintentionally dug up a ginseng tree... ".

He took out a long wooden box, ordinary in appearance, specially tanned with a layer of animal fur that had just been beaten when he arrived. It was packed like a gift box in the 21st century. Li Jiguan was very satisfied when he saw it.

"Boy, I don't have anything for Li Jiguan to look at. I only read a few years when I was young. When I was fleeing for my life, I picked up my things and ran away without carefully checking what was inside... I heard that Mr. Jiguan has two sons under his knees." , These few pieces of ink and inkstones will be sent to the Jiguan, and I hope that the two young masters will get the honor in the examination as soon as possible."

Jiguan's eyes lit up, and he took the ink inkstone and kept playing with it fondly, obviously these two things were sent to his heart.The ink block is dark in color and has a strong peculiar smell, and the inkstone is fired from ceramics, with green bamboo scrolls painted on it, it looks like something for scholars at first glance.

"There are also these... Ci Yu is new here, and I hope that Mr. Ji Guan can give some pointers...".Lu Ciyu opened the box and visited the ten taels of silver neatly.

Li Jiguan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, took out a brand new account post and began to write on it. "It's not about giving advice, but as an elder, I can tell you some experience, so that you young people can avoid detours."

Lu Ciyu also laughed, and climbed up smoothly: "Then thank you Uncle Li, just don't make any noise when you bother me in the future." He knew that this "deal" was considered to be completed, and the result was even better than expected is even better.

"You can just write Lu Ciyu in the name column. The name Lu Gui has carried too much burden, and Ciyu will be named after characters in the future." The official nodded. What people want to be called is their business. There will be no shortage of silver.

"Not yet married?"

"Exactly." Lu Ciyu nodded and replied, "But maybe... I will trouble Uncle Li again soon." He rubbed his nose, a little embarrassed.

The Jiguan laughed out loud when he heard the words, and understood: "Then I'll just wait for the wedding wine."

The two of them exchanged a few sentences back and forth, and the registration officer kept asking questions in the name of household registration, and Lu Ciyu had to answer them.Until Lizheng's face became serious, he said in a deep voice: "Xiao Lu, you are too ignorant, Mr. Ji is busy with affairs, how can you delay for so long?"

It was only then that Lu Ciyu suddenly realized, and his face was full of guilt: "Ciyu has gone too far...".Holding the newly obtained household registration card, he "reluctantly" bid farewell to the resident official, and before leaving, he did not forget to take off the jade pendant on his waist: "Uncle Li and I hit it off right away, and the little jade pendant is no respect."

As soon as the official was about to speak, Lu Ciyu hurriedly said, "Uncle, don't refuse, you just accept the junior's wishes." Then he pulled Lizheng's clothes, and said goodbye as if he was afraid that he would refuse Turning around and leaving, Li Jiguan called him a few times, during which time the person had disappeared from his sight.

Lu Ciyu pulled Li and walked a long way, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "It can be figured out."

He turned his head and asked for credit: "Uncle Lizheng, how am I doing!"

Li Zheng's eyes were full of surprise: "It's really...it even fooled me."

Lu Ciyu looked down at the name card in his hand, carefully put it in his arms and put it away, Lizheng was right in front of him, he couldn't put it into the space. "Yeah, it's not easy."

He is no longer a gangster.

Lu Ciyu was in a good mood, and pulled Li Zheng: "Uncle, hurry up, Lin Chi and Grandpa Langzhong should be waiting."

"Oh, slow down, the old man is not as flexible as a young man like you...".

The two of them walked a few steps, Li Zheng asked suddenly: "Why did you suddenly give him the inkstone?"

The gifts he prepared for the Jiguan were all discussed with Lizheng in advance, except Mo Yan was not in the plan.

Lu Ciyu said with a smile: "You said that Mr. Jiguan has two sons. I thought that since Mr. Jiguan is a member of the government, he must hope that his heir will pass high school, so I prepared this. It was too late earlier. I didn’t tell my uncle this evening, but it was too late this morning.”

Li Zheng sighed: "You, you are still too reckless. But luckily you sent it right."

What if the official doesn't want his children to study?

Lu Ciyu turned his head sideways.How could he say that the thing was taken out of the space through the cover of the package when he reached into the package.

You must be careful when giving gifts, in case they are sent to someone's taboo place.

The ink inkstone was indeed prepared by him earlier, but he prepared a copy of the businessman's abacus and the craftsman's tools, originally it was just for temporary backup and he didn't plan to take it out.

The reason for the temporary sending out is simple.

When they entered the room, the official Ji read the rice paper, although he collected it very quickly, Lu Ciyu still saw the content on it.

It is repeated words one by one, and the handwriting is immature, which should be used by children to practice calligraphy.

The father looked at his child's calligraphy practice with loving eyes.

How can you not hope that your son will become a dragon.

Lu Ciyu turned his head sideways: "Uncle, let's go."

"We have agreed, Lin Chi and I are going to have fun and go around this town today, you and Grandpa Lin are not allowed to stop us!"

"When did I promise that?"

"In short, I agreed, Lin Chi really wants to go shopping!"

"Stop, you boy, don't use our brother Chi as a cover for nothing!"
