Chapter 323 Who Doesn't Know This?

He Guanyu said that Zhao Ce couldn't handle this matter, but he didn't say it casually.

If you are not from the city and are not an official, you must have financial resources, relatives and sponsors to buy a house in their city.

Even for shops, the same principle applies.

Otherwise, when Zhao Ce decides on the shop he wants to buy, he will take his people to ask the neighbors for their opinions.

As a result, the neighbors found out that his conditions were not good enough. If he didn't agree, Zhao Ce wouldn't be able to buy the house.

After He Guanyu heard that Zhao Ce was not from this city, he subconsciously said that it would be difficult for him to handle this matter.

After hearing this, Zhao Ce twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Then, what are the conditions before I can buy a shop in Fucheng?"

He Guanyu squinted his eyes and looked Zhao Ce up and down again.

At first glance, this person seems to have little background in his family. Otherwise, if a scholar chooses a store by himself, it would really be a loss of status.

Old God He Guanyu said: "Assets, at least the family must have about the same amount of land or silver, right?"

"You don't have any relatives in the city, so you have to find someone with status to recommend you."

"Otherwise, if you are an unknown person, even if I agree to let you register, your neighbors will not allow you to buy it."

Zhao Ce nodded and asked: "The banknotes I have on me are about one thousand taels."

"Isn't it enough that I don't know?"

One thousand taels?

He Guanyu looked at Zhao Ce with some suspicion.

Can this little Confucian scholar come up with a thousand taels of silver notes at once?

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Zhao Ce took out a few banknotes from his arms.

"Here are three hundred taels. My wife asked me to bring it with me specially."

"The rest are still there, and they are all left where they settled."

He Guanyu lowered his head and saw that the three 100-tael silver notes in Zhao Ce's hand were indeed genuine.

Being able to come up with three hundred taels at once, it seems that this little Confucian scholar's family is pretty good.

Thinking that his uncle said that he and his wife were his saviors, could it be that he used money to save his uncle?

Is that why his uncle is so generous and wants to give them so much salt?

The more He Guanyu thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

If a person with financial resources buys a shop, then the shop he opens will do good business.

In this case, wouldn't it be possible to let him join their chamber of commerce?

But he had to take another look, and his shrewd eyes couldn't be blinded by this mere three hundred taels of silver notes.

He Guanyu coughed lightly and said, "This money is enough."

"It's just that as a Confucian scholar, you still need someone to recommend you..."

Zhao Ce thought for a while, and before the Taoist examination started, he could find Guo Juren to recommend him.

When the time comes, after I pass the examination as a scholar, there will be no problem.

Zhao Ce said in a calm tone: "In that case, I will take my leave today."

After Zhao Ce finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Seeing Zhao Ce being so decisive, He Guanyu was a little stunned for a moment.

He thought that this man had decent financial resources and he was also a scholar. If he did well in the imperial examination, he might not be able to get a good name.

Such a person has potential, and I will invite him to join the Chamber of Commerce in Fucheng later, so it is better to sell him now.

"Hey, little friend, don't leave yet."

"Since we are all acquainted, I am not afraid that you are someone with unknown origins."

"Let's do this. You register first. After registering, if a suitable house becomes available in a few days, I will have someone notify you. Then you can come over with the prepared documents for me to verify."

After saying that, he handed over the account book for registration and motioned to Zhao Ce to fill in the information.

Zhao Ce paused and took the account book from his hand.

He Guanyu also said: "Your place of origin documents must be verified by me first."

"If it doesn't work by then, you can also go to the outer city to buy a shop."

“Although there aren’t many people there, the procedures are simple and the price is cheap.”

Zhao Ce didn't listen to what he said about the outer city. He twitched the corner of his mouth and took out his birthplace document.

Originally, he had brought the good news of his two results, but seeing He Guanyu's businesslike appearance, he did not bring out these two things.

After He Guanyu took it, Zhao Ce took the pen and ink next to it and began to fill it out according to the format.

After He Guanyu verified the documents in his hand, he muttered: "Zhao Ce of Gaowen County...why does this name feel so familiar?"

After Zhao Ce finished writing, he handed the account book back to him.

After He Guanyu took it, he took a look and said with some surprise: "You are a little Confucian scholar, your handwriting is quite good."

Seeing Zhao Ce's beautiful calligraphy, he couldn't help but feel a little interested in chatting.

"You came to Fucheng to take the Taoist test, right? How were your results in the first two tests? Can a scholar be confident?"

Zhao Ce smiled faintly and said, "The results are not bad."

He Guanyu had no doubts, nodded and said: "It will be much easier for you to buy a house when you have gained the reputation of being a scholar."

"Okay, you can go back first. You have to prepare all the documents I need in the next few days."

"Otherwise, even if there is a suitable house, I won't be able to help you."

Zhao Ce took back his documents and put them away together with the good news.

He Guanyu glanced at it and said, "This document of yours is tied up with red silk. It looks pretty good."

Zhao Ce smiled at him, then took out a small purse and handed it over.

"Then it's up to you to worry about it."

He Guanyu took the purse and pinched the broken silver inside.

I thought that the person who got into his uncle's house would probably be a picky person.

But I didn't expect that the amount of broken silver inside was quite large.

He Guanyu nodded happily and said, "I'm not very old, but I'm quite friendly and sophisticated. Let's go back."

Zhao Ce twitched the corners of his mouth again before turning around and walking away.

When he walked to the door, the waiter saw Zhao Ce and said enthusiastically: "Is this young master leaving?"

"Is the matter settled?"

Zhao Ce said: "It has been temporarily registered, and there are still some documents that need to be filled in."

The waiter smiled and said: "This is my first time coming to Fucheng to do this. It is inevitable that some things are missing."

While we were talking, another guest came.

The waiter quickly said goodbye to Zhao Ce and greeted the guest.

When leading people in, He Guanyu was still muttering: "Why is the name Zhao Ce so familiar?"

Zhao Ce?

Is that Zhao Ce?

Before the waiter could speak, the guest next to him said directly: "But that Zhao Ce from Gaowen County?"

He Guanyu glanced at the guest, quickly stood up with a smile and said: "Steward Song, why are you here in person today?"

Hearing Butler Song's tone, could it be that Zhao Ce also knows Butler Song?

He Guanyu quickly asked: "Do you know Zhao Ce from Gaowen County?"

Butler Song looked at him as if he were a fool: "Who doesn't know this?"
